the people of Idaho county have
not forgotten the recent arraign-
ment of the governor and the
state pardoning board, by District
Judge Steele, in which he charg-
ed that the unwise action of the
board, (of which the governor is
member,) in Unfortunately
turning criminals out of the peni-
Tertiary after they had been con-
victed at great expense through
the diligent efforts of the officers,
was one of the greatest contribut-
ing influences toward the invok-
ing of Judge Lynch in cases of
extremely aggravating details;
and that such unlawful acts were
simply an expression of the fear
on the part of the people that
justice would be defeated in the
end through the work of the
board Of pardons. The justice
loving, law abiding classes want
to be protected alike from the
Robnetts who take other peoples
money, through the skillful use
of the pen, and the bloody mind
ed ruffian who takes the life, as
well as the money, of his defense
less victim on the highway. The
governor may really feel outraged
at the pardon of Robinett, but it
would appear that he will have
rather difficult task in making
the average citizen see just where
the turning loose upon the unpro-
tected public of an old and hard
ened criminal with loathsome,
incurable disease, has any the
best over the act Of the govern
ment in pardoning Robinett, who
according to the statements Of
the U. S. Attorneys who prosecut-
ed the case against the Ketten-
bachs, did all he could to place
all the facts in the case in their
hands, and made good on every
promise he gave them when the
case was begun. 1t has been
practice of long standing, how
ever reprehensible it may be, to
extend clemency or pardon in
criminals who turn state s evil
dence against their pals in crime,
but it is practically new, and
most startling procedure, with
but limited precedence, for
state executiv to defend his acts
as a member Of the state board
of pardons in turning criminals
out of the penitentiary almost as
fast as they are convicted and
incarcerated through the faithful
work of the county officers
and district judges, and at the
same time arraign the national
government in violent and intern
perate language for less radio
al act of clemency. The Globe
has no defense to offer for either
act, but it cannot but marvel at
tn remarkable attitude assumed
by Idaho's chief executive on this
subject of pardons.

An Engineering Feat.

The Roosevelt dam and power
plant in the Salt river valley, Arizona,
was dedicated March Is, 1911, by
former President Theodore Roose-
welt. The first stone was laid OH
September 20, 1906, and completed
February S this year. Type Of dam
is rubble masonry arch gravity, max
imum height 280 feet, length Of crest
1880 feet and contains 32o, 600 cubic
yards, develops $500 h-p, trans
mitted to Phoenix, rs miles distant.
The reservoir capacity is 1884
600 acre feet, insuring ample supply
for irrigating 100000 acres Of land
in Salt river valley.
When Colonel Roosevelt journey
ed the seventy-hve miles from
Phoenix to the Roosevelt dam there
was every evidence OF the advance
ment the west has made in recent
years. All the ranchers turned out
in automobiles and SO popular was
the new mode OF travel that all
horses and vehicular traffic, except
motor cars was ordered off the
splendid roadway that has been built
for travel between the capital city Of
Arizona and the dam. 1t is a splen-
did tribute to the success of reclama-
ton that the farmers are SO prosper
Gus. What the Salt river valley can
do in products was plain to be seen
at the luncheon given the ex-presi-
dent in Phoenix, everything from
roast ostrich to deglet moor dates on
the table. The ostrich was one of
the 2, 900 that are at home in the
valley. They say that the meat under
the wing, well cooked is fine, the
omelette enough for ten men, made
from single ostrich egg was eyed
with surprise if not delight. Arizona
is full Of interesting ruins Of ancient
races, and the cliff dwellings located
in the canyon sides above the dam
are mute signs that have stood for
hundreds Of years pointing to pre-
vious civilization. Will the works Of
the modern engineer last longer9

Want Just Freight Rates.

Victor O. johnson of Shoshone,
Idaho, general counsel of the Nation
al Wool Growers association is 10
Washington to lay plans for action
against transcontlnental railroads,
demanding reduction of freight
rates.
The complaint is that shippers of
wool are Disseminated against in
freight rates and that roads persist
emily refused to grant concessions.
"Wnile the freight rate on wool
from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic
seaboard is 81 per 100 pounds" said
Mr.. Johnson, "wool growers of the
intermountain state who produce the
largest proportion of wool in the
country, are required to pay $l.65 a
half hundred pounds from inter
mountain territory to Chicago, about
half the distance railroads haul wool
from the Pacific coast.
at costs our growers to ship wool
from home to the Atlantic more than
double that which Pacific coast peo-
ple pay for shipment across the con-
tlnent."

Spraying Benefits Fruit.

A promlnenG railroad Official
called the attention OF State Zoo.
logist, II. A. Surface, to a rumor
which he had heard in one portion
of Pennsylvania to the effect that
spraying produced fruit OF poor
quality. He suggested that this
wrong idea should be corrected
before 1T gains further ground.
In reply to this DR.. Surface wrote
as follows:
81 note with unusual interest
that IN the vicinity of Welt Ches.
ter, Pa, the fruit is reported as
large and fine in color, but poor
IN quality and flavor, with the
prevalent opinion that this is due
to spraying. can only say that
If we devote our energy to chas-
ing down and controverting one.
half OF such rumors that get
started, we could do nothing else
but chase phantoms. Let those
who wish to raise fruits without
spraying them try to do so, and
they will find that they can not
produce quality without 1t.
The best fruit grown in this
State are invariably those in or
chards that have been sprayed.
Sprayed fruits keep longer and
have the best quality. They are
the ones that take the prizes IN
the various and State Exhibitions.
There Is absolutely no founda-
tion for the rumor that spraying
impairs quality. Thus 1t seems
to me to be almost unnecessary to
give it much notice, especially as
to do so would give 1T some stand
ing and consideration, which such
an absurd idea should not have.
However, I shall publish News
Letter on this subject reaching
all parts of Pennsylvania"
