FEELS VERY GRATEFUL

C. A. Me"kley is able to be about
again with the aid of crutches, and
yet is suffering constant pain as the
result of the accident in the we'll
some weeks ago.
Mr.. Merkley wishes to express his
sincere thanks and gratitude to the
many people who aided and offered
aid in getting him out of the quick
sand at the time of his unfortunate
accident. So many people came and
went, all offering their services and
scores of them remaining to be ready
for any contingency that might arise
during the long fight for his release,
that he wants to assure them OF his
hearty appreciation of their aid and
offers of aid, and for their kindly
sympathy.

is, during the formative periods OF
their lives. Some of the crimes which
bring children into these courts are;
larceny, truancy and minor misdeeds
arising from parental neglect.
Of these offences, what is termed
larceny is the most common. The
children steal to get something they
need, such as food, clothing, or pos
sibly something they want simply be-
cause the other children have it.
Sometimes they take articles from
stores, workman's tools or junk, and
sell them to get the things they want.
They need the money for something
they covet, possibly something nec-
essary. For them it is not stealing;
it is simply taking things" 1t is
| not the instinct to steal. 1t is merely
the instinct to possess. The juvenile
court, instead of sending these offend
ers to Jail, places them in industrial
schools out of temptation and away
from evil influences in place where
they are taught to work, and eventu-
ally to earn what they want.
Truancy is another common cause
which brings children into court. The
public schools have discovered lately
however, that one of the chief causes
of this evil is i'll health In one case,
La 12-year-old boy in the 3rd grade

Many children, especially in our
large cities, are wretchedly abused
in the places which should be their
homes. Their parents may be brutal
or worse yet, may have deserted their
children altogether. OF the 1853 cases

Denver in the year 1909, but had
parents living together. Fifty per
cent of that 163 had parents who
were separated, while 30% knew no.
thing about theirs. There certainly
is no chance for any home training in
such cases. The child is not respon-
sible If, in such conditions, he de-
velopes into scoundrel. How can
he help it? The juvenile court of
Denver has sent more children to the
Industrial schools for shelter and to
get them off the streets, than for any
other reason. Children are naturally
innocent, but with no moral convic-
tion as to right and wrong. Their
environment shapes their destiny. But
a few years ago the children, men
and women, some of them already
hardened in crime, were tried and
sentenced as professional criminals
and no distinction was made between
children and mature offenders. By
doing this, the comparatively inno-
cent delinquents were thrown in with
professional criminals, and conse-
quently the Jail was but school of
crime In imprisoning the youths
the aim was to abolish crime, but 1t
did not even check it; crime was act
ually increased. But now the people
are opening their eyes. They believe
that there Is no criminal class OF

Petition for Sunday Opening
The law and order committee re-
ported upon the petition for Sunday
opening of Theatres and sal they had
found that Ala persons had signed
the petition and 4S0 had signed a
remonstrance, and they recommended
that the prayer of the petitioner be
denied.
w. H. Kestner spoke in behalf OF
the petition, and said that careful
review of the signatures showed that
not all who signed the two documents
were electors, and that of the 1853
persons who had voted, 403 had sign
ed the petition.
Representative P. G.. Johnston stat
ed that not all the qualified electors
had exercised their right of franchise,
and a majority of the qualified elect
ors had signed the remonstrance.
Attorney Geo. F. Gagon appeared
as counsel for the petitioners and in
troduced evidence as per the above
statement.
Councilman Bond stated that per-
haps 40 persons who had signed the
petition had signed the remonstrance
thus cancelling their signatures to the
first instrument.
Mr.. Gagon replied that the law Is
silent on that point, but the local op.
tion law states that If person signs
a petition for local option election

Railroad Bridge
Burned at Firth

The Board of Inquiry which inves-
tigated the cause of fire which dam
aged bridge No. 621, near Firth, on
the afternoon of May 9TH made the
following findings.
' alter making full examination in
to the conditions surrounding the
bnrning of this bridge, it is found
that the fire was started by parties
cleaning out the government irriga
tion canal which this bridge spans,
having set fire to grass and weeds
under the bridge. The workmen who
we're doing this work made all efforts
in their power to put out the fire,
hut on account of lack of water, their
efforts were fruitless until the arriv-
al of engine on train No. SIS, when
water was secured for putting out the
fire.
This. report was signed by,
j. T. Young, manager Idaho
Wholesale Grocery company.
w R. Armstrong, superintendent
Montana Division.
w. J. Ingling, assistant superin
tendent Montana Division.
J. N. Mclaughlin, assistant super
intendent Montana Division.
This fire occurred about 5 o'clock
in the afternoon and on account of
there being no water in the canal,
came near being disastrous. The
timely arrival of the negine on No.
55 saved the bridge and after a care
full examination by the officials of the
Montana Division, a few temporary
repairs were made and trains were
allowed to proceed. No. 3, the even
ing Butte train was delayed one hour
and 80 minutes, and fast freights
Nos. 55 and Sc were delayed about
four hours each.

of her school chi dren did not finish
the grammar school. Many of these
did not finish the primary grades.
Physical examination revealed that
|79N were in actual need of medical
care. twenty-five thousand had de-
fective eye-sight, 10000 could not
breathe nor hear properly on account
of adenoids, 5000 were always hun
cry, and many were never free from
pain. Some children, being not quite
like the others, were scolded by their
parents and ignored by the other
children. They became sullen, mis-
chievous and then vicious. In our
own city schools of Blackfoot, of the
80 who were physically imperfect,
33 failed to pass their grade in the
last two years, and of the 16 cases of
truancy this year, 13 were physically
defective. In the Boys Industrial
school of Knsas, 979o were reported
physically abnormal. Such statistics
show that slow and delinquent child
rem are usually not to blame for their
deficiencies in intellect and morals,
and therefore they should not be
branded as rascals. They simply, be-
cause of handicap, have made a
mistake. The law must look to the
SOURCE of the crime, not the crime
itself. The juvenile court examines
the cases brought to it, and finding
the source of the crime, has it remov-
| ed and so it prevents comparatively
innocent children from developing in
to criminals. 1t is far cheaper, too,
to prevent crime than to punish it
when it has once gained headway.
Judge Lindsay, of Denver, estimates
that during the first 4 years of Its
juvenile court, that $270,000 have
been saved along these lines, rather
than prosecuting and furnishing. But
even if the city had to pay out $270,-
900 for the saving of the children, II
would have been worth 1t, for what
are dollars and cents compared with
good health and morals? Some day
the children, thus reclaimed, will re-
pay the city by their increased USE

Another cause Of delinquency is the
smoking of cigarettes. A chaplain

stated that nearly every convict in
that institution could trace to the
cigarette the first step in his down.

Wireless Stations For Arizona.

Upon reliable authority the Phoenix Republican Is informed that one of the big wireless tele- graph companies is now making plans to install three stations in Arizona. These stations are to be at some point on the border. prob ably Bisbee or Nogales, at Phoenix and at Grand Canyon.
 Each of the stations is to be equipped with wireless apparatus of the latest and most up to date type, capable of handling both telegraph and telephone messages. In other words, the telegraph ins- truments will be equipped with microphones.
 The first station will be at either Bisbee or Nogales, the second at Phoenix and the third at the Grand Canyon, forming a chain straight through from the southern horder of Arizona to a station at Salt Lake that is already in operation, though not commercially. It is reported that the company intends ultimately to extend the chain into Mexico.

 Sheep here this week 42,400, last week $500, same week last year fl 200. Lambs have sold irregular ly all the time, with a weaker tendency prominent, but sheep and yearlings have sold strong, and are a quarter higher for the week, lambs about like close of last week. Kansas has been ship ping heavily this month, but Colo rado has not fairly gotten started yet.
