Took Porter for a General.

Eugen Howe, who with his broth
er Jim was owners of The Index
for two years previous to the pres
ent management, is the subject of a
story in the Portland Oregonian.
Gene is a son of Ed Howe, of the
Atchison Globe. After leaving En-
NETT he worked on Portland papers.
Here is the story:
Eugene Howe, who has recently
become proprietor of the Atkinson
Globe through the retirement of his
father, took a position as reporter
on Portland newspaper a few
years ago. One of his first assign
ments was the hotel beat. Howe
faithfully made the rounds of the
leading hostelries, but discovered
nothing even remotely resembling a
story. 1t is a difficult thing for a
man who is unacquainted to get ho-
rel news and anyway it was a quiet
day. Finally Howe sat down to rest
in the lobby of the Portland, but
he was still determined not to go
back to the office empty handed.
Despite the clerks report that
there was nothing doing" Howe
kept watching the people in the lob
by, hoping to see someone who
might be able to give him an item
OF interest. Finally his attention
was attracted to a uniformed man
who was pacing back and forth near
the door. His brass buttons and
gold braid convinced Howe that the
stranger could be no less than a gen
eral. Finally Howe approached and
after appologizing for the intru
sion, announcing that he was re-
porter, and desiring to get an inter-
view. Then Howe found that he
had accosted the head porter.

NO BETTER FRUIT SECTION
Sweet Orchardist Praises Emmott
and Sweet.

Land in the Emmett and Sweet
fruit section, where orchard pro-
ducts are practically immune from
frost, is going to become very val
liable. People in the lower country
will not plant peaches, apricots and
sweet cherries and bother with fire
pots with their accompanying large
expenses. Their principal crops will
be apples and prunes.
The operator of the cannery at
Payette told me that it was diff
ficult job to run that factory be-
cause beans and tomatoes would
blight and peaches, sweet cherries
and pears fail half the time. These
crops are practically sure at En-
es as we recently sampled at Mr..
Glenn's would put the Seven Devils
brand out of commission. This
peach was a semi-cling and came
from the Hartley nursery at l.
nett.
Emmett soil and climate are
particularly favorable to the growth
of nursery stock, and the nurseries
located there are worth more to
Emmett than any other industry
within her limits. At the Hartley
nursery / saw the finest nursery
stock ever produced in America,
and | count myself good judge.
l saw Spanish chestnut trees only
2 years old that bore nuts. The
future of Emmett will be made by
her fine fruit. Home grown trees
are worth double the foreign stock,
and besides we can ascertain
renabinty OF the dealer. we saw a
year old liberia peach tree six feet
tall and full of fruit buds; some
sweet cherry trees on Mahalob roots
seven feet tall; Carolina populars, 2
years old, 20 feet. In Iowa it would
take five years to produce such trees

Buffalo in Idaho.

Will there ever be buffalo hunt
ing season in Idaho? This is the
question that ranchers in the north
ern part of Bonner county are be-
ginning to ask, for several of them
have recently seen a herd of from
10 to 25 buffalo up north of Priest
lake. H. B. Howard, a rancher OF
Bonner county, says that the ami
mails frequent park known as
Lost park and have been there for
years, coming, as the settlers think,
from over the Canadian border.

VS.. Thomas Murinago and Gerba-
clio Mendoza on the charge of grand
larceny. The complaint alleges
the theft of 101 head of sheep by

Caldwell Boy Burned to Death.

The residence of j. w. Casey at
Caldwell was destroyed Thursday
night by fire. The eldest son, lad OF
six, was burned to death and the
husband, wife and youngest son es-
capped with serious injuries. The
wife is suffering intense pain, her
face, back and hands being terribly
burned. Mr.. Casey's hands and face
are a mass of blisters. The 5-year
old boy escaped with slight burns
on his hands and one foot The en-
tire contents of the house was de-
stroyed The fire occurred be-
tween II and II o'clock. The first
notice the family had was when the
flames burst into the sleeping room.
The only outlet from the room was
through a window, which the faith
er broke out, and grasping the
youngest boy, threw him out, then
followed himself. The mother
reached the window and was pulled
out by her husband. The flames
made such Roadway that the ell
dest boy could not be reached and
he persisted in his bed, where his
charred remains were found when
the coroner arrived this afternoon.
After getting out of the burning
building the father and mother and
little boy started for a ueighbor's
house, barefooted and only such
scanty apparel as they had on when
they went to bed.

Grand Jury Returns 90
Indictments in Three Days

The grand jury reported to Judge
johnson this morning and turned in
large batch of indictments. N. r.
Mccullough was named as foreman
of the body, R. r. Swittenberg being
excused from further service on ac-
count of pressure of business that de
manded his attention. His excuse for
being relieved of further duty was
considered a good one and the Judge
accordingly excused him, although
his services were known to be valua-
BILE as foreman of the jury. Mr.. Nc
Cullough will not doubt give the same
conscientious attention to matters
coming before the grand jury, and the
body is expected to go thoroughly into
the subjects brought so forcibly to it's
attention by the Judge in his charge.
The present grand jury has prob
ably established a record for the num-
Der of true bills found in the short
time it has been in session, and if the
work continues at the pace set, an
other record will doubtless be estab-
lished in the total number of indict-
ments returned during the term of

work not more than two and half

nature of which and against whom
