investigation and prosecution of all
connected with the alleged dynamite
conspiracy is the emphatic injunction
from the department Of justice direct
to District Attorney Miller, under
which he will conduct the federal
grand jury inquiry beginning at In
annapolis tomorrow. District Attor-
ney Mccormick of Los Angeles, who
has been here several weeks confer

left today for New York, on IL mission
connected with the governments in
v~estigation.
Attorney General wickersham.
through Assistant Attorney General
Harr, is personally directing the gov
ernment's course. The inquiry is bas-
ed on two federal statutes and if an
accumulation of offenses can he prov

crimes, long terms of imprisonment
can be imposed.
me maximum penalty for violation
or the statute fixing stringent condi-
tons and restrictions upon the inter-
state shipment of explosives is eigh-
teen months in the penitentiary and a
fine Of $4,000.
The law by which it is hoped to

directed the outrages makes it a crime
for two or more persons to conspire to
break a federal law. This imposes a
maximum penalty of two years i'm
prisonment and $40, 900 fine. one or
both of these laws would apply to
every illegal shipment of explosives.

$3.50 WAS DONATED
TO REID HOSPITAL
Tag Day. Results More
Than Exceeded Expecta-
tions Of Aid Society.

The results of hospital tag day"
were very beneficial to the Reid Me-
mortal hospital. Last evening members
of the committee reported that the to-
tai collections amounted to $3.50,
which is 1919 more than was received
last year, the contributions of 1910
amounting to 1861.
II is believed that the course pur-
sued this year by the hospital COM
mittee is great deal better than the
method followed last year. This year
no contributions were solicited, where
as last year citizens were asked to
contribute to the fund
A larger corps of women assisted
in the work this year than in 1910 and
a larger number of small stands were
maintained in various department
stores throughout the city, where tags
could be secured for any amount
which the person wished to donate to.
wards the hospital fund.
Besides this in every store in the
city a small box was placed. and the
money collected from the sale of tags
was dropped into the boxes. Towards
evening most of the boxes were half
filed with coins. II is believed that
Richmond people hare taken broader
view of the advantages Of the local in
stitution and this explains the gener-
osisy of the residents.
Almost every business man and
working man as well was tagged. u
Women, mostly members of the vari'
ous aid societies of the city, lent their
services to the cause and remained
throughout the day at their respective
posts, selling the tags.
As a resul. of the increased contri
button members of the committee
were agreeably surprised and stated

Contrary to the report in the
Boise papers, it was Mr.. Clark who
negotiated the sale of the Boise Val
ley road to Mr.. Maitland. Mr..
Clark held options on the Boise Val
ley railway and as the property has
been listed at $50, 900 less than il
sold for it is surmised that this
shrewd promoter gathered in that
amount on the deal. To him is due
the exclusive credit for putting
through the deal.
Now that Robert Noble Sr. has
cleaned up on the B. V. R. through
Mr.. Clark's negotiations, it is ex-
pected that he will, according to
promise, build the line at a very
early date from Wendell to Thous.
and Springs, thence to Hagerman. u
The above quotation from last
weeks Irrigationist shows the broad
policy upon which that paper is
run. Not long since it expressed
itself as not having much faith in
Mr.. Clark; but since Mr.. Clark is
delivering the goods, it has switched
around and is strong in its support
of him. We must commend the
Irrigationist for its open mindedness
and its willin gness to support every
thing for the good of the commun-
ity.

A Wendell Boy Killed.

a special dispatch to the States
man from Aberdeen, Wash. of
Oct. 9th, says: Evan Syea 20
years of age, of Wendell, Idaho, met
death late last night or early this
morning when his skull was crushed
beneath burning stump near which
he and his companion, +. p. Rob
lnson, were sleeping. The tragedy
occurred while Svea and Robinson
were enroute to Satsop from Seattle.
They were both without funds and
decided to spend the night in the
open. The warmth coming from
the stump attracted them. The
stump was burned about half way
through so they measured the exact
distance it would fall in order to
keep out of danger. Robinson was
awakened by the crash as the log
partly fell on him and his leg was
badly injured. Help was summoned
and the body of the dead boy brought
to Aberdeen. A letter addressed to
Mrs. c. Svea, presumably his moth
err, was found in the dead boys
pocket.
