JOE WILKINSON LIKES
BOISE.

Statesman ''BOise is the best
town / have been in for a long
time and | have been all over
the northwest in recent months.
| don't except Spokane, Seattle,
Walla Walla, Great Falls or any
of the other places that have en-
joyed the reputation of hustlers.
Such was the good word j.
A. Wilkinson had for Boise yes
terday. He is here on a business
mission but was so thoroughly
well pleased with the place that
he may decide to locate here per-
manently. He was formerly a
resident of Grangeville, but sold
out his business there and moved
to Walla Walla, where he is now
living.
Il encountered different at
mosphee from any found in the
surrounding places. Everywhere
else there seems to be a crouch
on-men are kicking and grumb-
ling. In Boise it is different
Everybody / meet is Dragging on
the town and boosting. There
seem to be so many moves on
too, for the betterment of the
community. Furthermore, | have
never met Boise man anywhere
in my travels who was not ready
to fight at the drop of the hat
for his home city. That is the
spirit that appeals to me. 1t is
the spirit that distinguished the
live town from the dead one"

CASE COMPROMISED.

The case of Peter Rosik, charg-
ed with assaulting his wife,
which was to have been tried be-
fore Justice Vineyard the first
of the week, was compromised
through the advice of the attor-
neys, the husband paying the
costs and turning over to the
wife cow and household goods
at the residence where she has
been living in Grangeville. Rosik
has been making his home on the
farm for some time while Mrs
Rosik has lived in town. Di'

GRANCEVILLE
CELEBRATES
Three Days Patriotic Program
With Four Days Ball
Tournament.

Grangeville has decided to cut
the Fourth of July melon this
year clear through the red and
luscious core. Three days, the Sd
4th, and 5th have been decided
as the shortest possible time in
which the exuberance of spirits
which has been accumulating
now for three years, can be work
ed off, therefore a program is
being arranged to fully cover
that period of time. But to be
sure of the matter, the base ball
tournament will be commenced
on the End, kind of breaking
easy like into the real festivi-
ties.
1t is not possible this week to
give the program in full, but it
will be a ringer when it does
come, and it is just as well to
announce now that the four days
ball contest will start off with
the Reubens team here for the
first two days, to be followed up
with probably Cottonwood and
one of the other Prairie League
teams to finish up. These games
of themselves will be strong
drawing features-but there will
be many more; and the band will
play all the time.

Smilax and white and green
ribbon formed a dome over
huge cluster of carnations in the
center of the table, ribbon be-
ing carried to. and twined around
a vase at each cover, which con-
tanned beautiful green and
white spray of flowers.
I Ivy was strewn gracefully
/ around the large centerpiece, and
the place cards of green and
white were decorated with a
white narcissus.
Numerous candles shaded by
the prevailing colors cast soft
light over all.
Eighteen covers were laid, and
as the young ladies We're seated

the large room presented most
fairy like appearance.

BOSS COX" INDICTED.
He Is Charged With Giving False
Testimony in 1906.

Cincinnati, Feb. 22.-George B. Cox,
for years head of the Republican or
ganization in Cincinnati. leading fac
tor in state and national politics,
president of the Cincinnati Trust COM
pany and known widely in the theat-
rical circles. because of. his interests
in that field, has been indicted by the
Hamilton county grand jury on a
charge of perjury.
hTe basis of the charge is that Cox
testified falsely before grand jury
on March Fl, 1906, in denying he had
received any of the interest money
which several banks, according to dis
closures before the Drake investigat-
ing committee, paid to county treas
urers as recompense for the deposit
of county funds.
Less than an hour after the jury's
report which was made, Cox appeared
at the court house.
Prosecuting Attorney Henry T. Hunt
had recommended that bail be fixed at
$1,000. This was done and the re-
quired bond was given by Cox. with
Abraham Furst, a leader in Demo-
cratic circles. as surety. No date for
Cox's appearance in court was set and
the signing of the bond ended the
court proceedings.

SLOWER FREIGHT TRAINS NOW
Western Roads to Operate Long HauIs
More Economically.

Heavy freight trains pulled by mon
ster engines running at a high rate
of speed damage roadbeds and cause
equipment to run down quickly. The
cost of high speed freight trains, in
fuel used and lighter tonnage hauled,
is much greater per ton mile than that
for lower speed trains. The risk of
damage to cargo and equipment in
handling fast trains is much greater.
Because of these facts the ten
dency of western roads for several
airs has been to lessen the speed,
increase the tonnage. and run the
trains as nearly to schedule as pos
sible, but to make the schedule slow
enough that it could be conformed to.
AS the size of engines and cars have
grown the desirability for lower speed
has been growing greater.
Two weeks ago or more the Burling-
ton, Union Pacific, Rock Island, Santa
Fe and other transcontinental roads
heightened the time for their fast
freight trains.
The running time has been length
ened considerably, and it is the opin-
ion of railroad men that it will be
many years before the west sees the
fast freight trains of eight or ten years
ago, that made from twenty to twenty
five miles an hour when running.
Under the new plan the fast freights
will make a lesser rate per hour and
will haul more tonnage, but will keep
moving almost constantly on the
transcOntinental trip.

February promises to be a record
breaker, the total citrus shipments for
the first 10 days, including two Sun
days. when little or no fruit was load

oranges and 1875 lemons. Santa Fe rail-
road officials anticipate over 5000 cars
for the month. If the weather is favor
able 1t is expected that the pace of
$50 cars a day. set several days of last
week, will be exceeded.
The Midland Valley company now

ago the city water plant at Fort Scott

forced to begin hauling water for its
engines at Durand. a few miles out
of Fort Scott where a large volume of
freight business is handled.
Many other railways have been
forced to haul water for their engines
because of the unprecedented drouth
in the southwest. 1t is believed that

TAR BABY GOT LANG's BACON.
Lang Seemed Scared to DeatIl-Fouled
in Sixth Round.

London, Feb. 22.-Bill Lang, who
once held the heavyweight champion
ship Of Australia, was no match for
Sam Langford, the American negro
pugilist, in a scheduled 20 round bout
at the Olympia last night Langford
won in the sixth round when Lang was
disqualified. Lang was almost out
when he committed the foul.
After six fierce POUNDS, when Lang
ford was down, the Australian, in a
dazed sort of way, rushed at the
American and struck him and imme-
diately the referee proclaimed Lang
ford the winner.
The Australian, with all his natural
advantages, including an extra 81
pounds in weight, was hopelessly out
classed by the negro fighter, who
walked into him and hit him from all
angles where and when he willed.
Lang was all nerves. He seemed
scared to death, and his Disqualified
ton was the hest thing that could
have happened, for he was so groggy
that he was bound to have been put
out if he had not transgressed.
The only redeening feature of Lang
showing was his gameness in taking
punishment. As early as the first
round Langford punched him all over
the ring. In the second the negro
forced the Australian into a neutral
corner and dropped him for count OF
nine with terrific left and rights to the
jaw.
Lang went down again for nine in
the third round by a right to the point
of the jaw but came back in the
fourth and stood up and exchanged
left and right swings with Langford at
a terrific rae At that period both OF
Lang's eyes were almost closed and
Laugford was laughing.
The Australian took a long count
twice again in the fifth, but in spite of
the heavy punishment, he carried the
fight to Langford the next time up,
and in a fast infighting rally. put the
latter down, but this was more by ac-
cident than anything else. Lang was
greatly excited and pretty hazy by this
time and he rushed his opponent, strik-
ing him heavily before Langford could
regain his feet.

THAT HARRI1IAN RECORD.
Carried Nearly 100000 Passengers
and No One Killed.

Figures compiled by statisticians in
the employ of the Hartman railroads
show that during the calendar year of
1910 not a single passenger was killed
and the Southern Pacific lines in Mex
leo, a total of 1880 miles.
During that period there was car
ried on these lines an aggregate of
49,491.O00 persons. Using this total
in another way, it is figured that
3,00O,000,000 passengers were carried
one mile.
Totals relative to passengers carried
on all roads throughout the country
in 1910 are not yet available, but the
interstate commerce commission fig
ures for the fiscal year of 1909 show
hauled one mile in the United States
during that time.
Throughout 1909. 253 passengers
were killed on various roads in the
country, the aggregate number carried
being S90.000.O00.
1t is calculated that if the Harri-
man roads kept pace with the record
of some other lines in the matter of
passengers killed, their total for 1910,
instead of being represented by a
cipher would be somewhere between
twenty-five and thirty.
Unusual efforts have been made by
officials of the Hartman system dur
ing the past several years to reduce
accidents of all kinds, special atten-
tion being given to the matter by
Julius Kruttschnitt, director of main
tenance and operation.
In this connection a large increase
was made in the number of safety
devices in use, with the result that
the Hartman system now has more
miles of automatic block signals than
any other line in the world,
In 1903 and part of 1904 the num-
Der of accidents on the Union Pacific
line was twenty for 100000 locomo-
tive miles. while in the last half of
1910 there were but four accidents for
each 100000 locomotive miles.
In the same period of 1903-1904
there were an average of Twenty-Five
and one-half accidents for 100000
locomotive miles on the Pacific sys-
tenn of the Southern Pacific road, and
in the last half of 1910 the average
was reduced to ten and one-half.
