ner given by DR.. and Mrs. Cue, re-
NAMED for a few days, the guest OF

For an all around good time the
dinner party given on Friday evening
by DR.. and Mrs. Cue could scarcely
be equalled in the social annals OF
Caldwell. The affair was in honor OF
the Misses Rose and Adelaide Har-
ris, sister and niece, respectively, OF
Mrs. Cue. The decorations were all
beautifully carried out in pink and
white. An attractive feature of the
arrangement was the unique pencil
sketch score cards, cleverly done by
the hostess. A white cake, decorated
with numerous lighted pink candles
was brought in as a surprise of Miss
Rose Harris, whose birthday the oc-
casion celebrated, by coincidence. At
ter dinner the guests enjoyed Is

L
ldent Taft, inspired without doubt by
the special prosecutors, will long ran
kIe in the minds of our citizens, and
will inspire them with a wholesome
contempt for such disgraceful meth
DDS.
Thinks President Deceived.
1t is probably unfair to severely
blame President Taft directly for this
unspeakable action, as he undoubted-
ly acted at the request of Attorney
General Wickersham, who evidently
has been in collision throughout this
affair with his assistants in charge of
the prosecution.
The main blame, however, in my
Judgment, attaches to President Taft,
on account of his inexplicable failure
to make full official investigation of
the matter, through the United States
Judge and the regular United States
attorney.
Some good may result from this
miserable affair. The people of the
whole state will become thoroughly
aroused by this failure of justice!
Their wrath will be directed against
these special prosecutors, who for
four long and weary years have been
responsible for the lamentable condi-
tons surrounding the government
cases in the United States courts.
And it is to be hoped that the pro-
tests of the people of Idaho will be so
loud that the authorities in Washing
ton cannot disregard them, but will,
as consequence, rid this state for
ever of the offensive presence of these
special agents and special prosecu-
tors, who have been responsible for
this outrageous failure of justice, and
will thus permit the regularly consti-
tuted officers of the court to manage,
as is their duty and province, the
United States business before that
tribunal.
The Boise Statesman represents the
governor as being infuriated. 1t says:
An Infatuated Executive.
AS indicated by his statement, Gov
ernor James H. Hawley last night
was Infatuated by the news from
Washington that Clarence Robnett
had been pardoned, on approval of
this pardon by the special prosecutor.
"By the eternal" cried the COVER
nor, several times. Then he exclaim-
ed, This is an outrage, / say; and,
by the eternal, l shall do all in my
power to stop this farcical outrage
against justice. From the circum-
stances surrounding this affair, l be-
lieve it is my official duty, as COVER
nor of the state, to tell the people
what this thing means, and l intend
to tell them in no uncertain terms" "
The governor paced UP and down
the room, with his hands showed deep
into his pockets, chewing. angrily on
the inevitable dry cigar, and said:
"Give me a chance to collect my
thoughts. This makes me so angry
that it is hard for me to speak CO.
herently just yet"
After walking up and down with
rapid strides for several minutes, the
governor began to dictate his state
ment, addressed to the people of Ida
no, and the words fairly sizzled from
his mouth. The governor never stop
ped pacing up and down, and he
never paused in finding words to ex-
press his thoughts. His eyes flashed
with rage, and in paying his respects
to Wickersham he pounded his palm
with his fist in characteristic Hawley
fashion.

Mr.. Van Duyn's Letter.
"1n the matter of the question that
you referred to US the other day, to-
wit, as to the exemption of any high
way district from the bonded indebt-
edness of the county for building
bridges, have to say that this Office
has gone quite carefully into the mat
ter, and believes that under the exist
ing law, highway district is not ex-
empt from the said county bonds re-
ferred to above. However, in section
IS, after the word provided there are
certain expressions that would tend to
let one think by inference that it was
possibly the intent of the legislature
to exclude said highways from bonds.
But this, as we read the law, is no
where very clearly expressed, and to
say the least, it is most uncertain as
to what the legislature would mean.
1--WE think, however, inasmuch as
the said provision as found in the said
law that it is to the best interests of
the county of Canyon and other coun-
ties situated as Canyon county is sit
uated, that this question be determ-
ined by the court of last resort, for
as long as it so remains, it is sub
ject to various interpretations, and in
asmuch as this question is a highly
important one, we believe the same

TAXPAYERS MUST
Stand EXPENSE
RESIDENTS OF ROAD DISTRICT
DO NOT ESCAPE THEIR
PORTION OF DEBT.
Citizens of Canyon County Advised
to Test the Matter in Highest Court
by Attorney Van Duyn-Sensible
Views as Expressed by a Sensible
Man.

According to the opinion of the at
torney generals Office, as expressed
by o. M. Van Duyn, assistant attor-
ney general, the residents of highway
districts in Canyon county, or any
county in the state for that matter,
are not exempt from the bonded in
debtedness of the county as a whole
when the bonds referred to are voted
upon for the purpose of providing
funds to construct bridges or other
highway improvements.
The opinion by Mr.. Van Duyn was
made public yesterday. 1t was given
in reply to query from Canyon
county where people residing in a
regularly-formed highway district
was created upon the fundamental
principle that the residents thereof
were to build roads and bridges with
in the confines of the district as they
were disposed and that the raising
and expenditure of the funds neces-
sary for highway improvement was to
be done entirely at the jurisdiction of
the residents of the district and with
out any interference or assistance
from the county commissioners, who
would be, of course, acting in the in
terests of the county as a whole. In
view of this claim the residents ac-
cordingly objected to being subjected
to pay a portion of the bond issue
vited upon by the entire county for
the bridge fund

When Bonds Were Voted.

Prior to the rendition of Mr.. Van
Duyn's opinion parties who held that
the people residing in the highway
district should not be exempt from
the payment of their share of the
bond issue advanced as one of the
chief grounds in support of their con-
tention that many people within the
districts undoubtedly voted at the
election at which the bond was decid-
ed upon and as they had had voice
in the matter they should expect tc
be required to participate in the pay
ment of the bonds.
Mr. Van Duyn, while declaring thai
the citizens of the district, in his opin'
ion, are not exempt from the bonded
indebtedness, advises that the ques
ton be carried to the court of last re.
sort because of its importance and the

BIDS FOR COMMERCIAL TRADE
Company Reduces Rate to six Cents
Tor First 400 XIV. With Lower
Rates for the Larger Consumer
Other Rates to be Cut Later.

Kenosha is to have real warfare in
the matter Of competition for the
lighting business Of the city as this
morning the Kenosha Gas and Electric
Railway Company filed with the state
railroad commission a new schedule of
rates to go into effect on the first of
November at which time the rate
charged by the old company will be
cut twenty-five per cent for similar
service The new schedule is to cover
commercial business, but it is declared
that within a short time there will be
a reduction of rates all along the line
and that every kind of service furnish
ed by the company viii be cut to the
limit. 1t is declared openly that the
cut is being made to meet any possible
competition Of the Kenosha Electric
Railway Company and in a letter to the
commission the manager of the com
pany declares that the rate is not a
"proftable = one, but one forced by
competition.
just how far the rate will go de-
ponds entirely on the action of the
rival company. 1t is possible that the
people of the city will be getting free
light and power before the winter is
over, but it is probable that at some
time some one will have to chance to
settle for the changes.
The rate war is to be an auxiliary
fight to the fight of the companies in
the courts and the Kenosha Gas and
Electric Company will not abandon the
court fight in which it has declared
that its rival has no warrant for doing
business in Kenosha. The formal
schedule which was fled with the rail
road commission of Wisconsin today is
as follows:

these apples come through all right
as to packing and shipping, I am
ready to buy all the apples you have.
I know the fruit is right If it is
handled right, there is a ready mar

Last year we bought more than
1000 boxes of apples in Hood river
and there was not one of them re-

cherries. There is nothing raised any
where else in the world that COM
