SPRING DUE TO BE USHERED

Arrives Wednesday, According to Almanac, but Prof
Moore Promises Unreasonable Weather.

Spring, the alleged inspiration of many

and the known cause of varying degrees
of colds. from ''sniffles' to pneumonia,
makes its annual debut Wednesday, ac-
cording TO the almanac.

over the United States, have proved even

Road District Elections Carried

The Independent highway dis
trict elections held at Greencreek,
Cottonwood and Keuterville on
Tuesday passed off quietly and
only a light vote was cast at each
place. Everybody felt that no
opposition would develop and
many did not take the trouble to
go to the polls at all.
Forty-eight votes were cast at
this place, 46 being in favor of
the creation of the district and 2
against. At Greencreek 18 votes
were cast, all being in favor,
and at Keuterville 26 votes were
cast in favor and none against.
Within ten days after the date
Of the election the county COM
missioners will canvass the vote
and declare the districts created
and the three commissioners for
each district will then be appoint
ed, one appointment in each dis
trict being made by the govern
or. The commissioners so ap-
pointed will serve for four years
from January 1st, 1912, and their
successors will serve for four
years.
The creation of these three
districts will be mighty good
thing for the west side of the
prairie and in a few years we
expect to see the roads here
abouts all in the best of shape.

We Will Move.

Owing to inability in the past
to secure a proper location on
Main street the CHRONICLE Office
has been maintained at its pres
ent location for a longer period
than we had intended when we
moved here. The paper has out
grown it's quarters, however, and
for some months past has been
operating at considerable disad-
vantage on account of lack of
space. However, all things
come to the waiter, and we have
secured commodious quarters in
the Goldstone building on King
street, occupied at present by the
Goldstone, Nash, Creelman Co.
store. We hope to move into the
new quarters after the paper is
printed next week and would ask
our readers to bear this in mind
when looking for us in future.
The new building will give us
plenty of room and, with several
additional improvements which
we have under contemplation, we
hope to make the CHRONICLE one
of the best papers in central Ida
no. Many of our readers claim
that distinction for it now and
we will labor to justify their
faith.

Bad Hail Storm Hits Icicle Flat.

A bad hail storm hit the Icicle
Flat section southwest of Ferdi-
nand on Thursday afternoon of
last week and did great damage
to several fields of standing
grain. The hail stones were as
large as pigeon eggs IN d
wherever they struck the grain
was beaten flat. w. H. Beasley
had a fine field of oats badly
damaged, Joseph Ritter lost
several acres of fine wheat,
while the crops on the Nolan,
Schnider, Jack Hill, Browning
and other farms were badly
damaged and in some cases al
NOSE entirely destroyed. On
Friday afternoon another hail
storm visited the country near
Westlake and did further dam
age. The storm on Thursday
did not last over five minutes
but as there was no rain with it
the damage was all the more
severe. The storm did not
reach as far as Ferdinand.

appears to believe that the
juries of this county and the
trial court do not understand the
conditions existing. The board
of pardons has set aside the ver-
dict of every jury and the sem
tences of the court of every case
of any Importance that has been
tried in this county for the past
IL years.
After calling attention to nine
criminals from this county who
have been either pardoned or
paroled within the past few
years, as well as several from
Latah county, Judge Steele said:
Il have had scores of citizens
say to me, What is the use of
spending our money in sending
men to Boise? They will only
stay there a short time
During the past IL years I
have spent of the money Of
Idaho county over $50, 900 in the
prosecution of criminals and not
murmur has been h ard
against this courts expenses.
In my judgment there is no
more law abiding, law enforcing
citizens on the face of the earth
than are to be found in the
citizenship of this county. Per-
NIT me to suggest that if the
courts are to enforce the law,
the board of pardons should take
a reef in its sails and see with
er it is tending.
i shall appreciate every effort
made by you as governor of this
state in giving me assistance in
the apprehension of the men
who have brought this foul dis
grace upon the county and the
state. You have but entered
upon the duties of your import
ant Office, having only held the
position and been a member Of
the board of pardons for a period
of eight months. Your educa-
ton as a lawyer and your past
life show you to be a man who
believes in the enforcement of
the law and have every conf
dence and every hope that you
will aid in correcting the evil
which | believe exists and which
has been called attention to.
Il feel that the board of
pardons has been instrumental
in bringing about the conditions
which resulted in the brutal
murder of Peter Mallick in the
county Jail.
Yours respectfully,
EDGAR c. STEELE.

Secured 100 Bushels Per Acre.

j. E. Gentry, residing north of
town, reports the largest yield of
barley secured in this vicinity
this year and which is excelled
only by the record yield of 104
bushels secured from the Buck
ingham place near Winona. Mr..
Gentry threshed 1886 sacks of
barley from % acres of ground,
which, at two bushels to the
sack, would figure 2772 bushels,
but as the grain always over runs
a few pounds it is safe to say
that the yield is at least a hum
dred bushels per acre and if the
exact warehouse weights were
taken it might easily beat this
figure.
A peculiar feature about this
crop is the fact that it was thresh-
ed from land that Mr.. Gentry
pastured with hogs, sheep and
calves until the 18th day of May.
At that time his neighbors re-
marked that the grain was ruin
ed so far as a crop was concerned
but the rains during the latter
part of May and June brought it
out nicely and it made a much
better crop than the fields that
had not been pastured. At the
present price of 81. go per hundred
for barley this crop will pay for
$50 an acre land in one season,
which is certainly going some
even for this favored country.
