izen of Latah county, is on trial in
the district court today on a charge
of falsifying the records of corpora
ton in the funds of the bank.

case is attracting great attention in
that neighborhood, as Evans is one
of the best known men in that part
of the county and has a host of
friends. Although also indicated for

"That good roads would materially
reduce the cost of living is the declara-
ton of R. I. Jarvis of Benton Harbor,
Mich, for years an advocate Of good
roads, and at present a visitor in Mos
COW in connection with the Modern
Wcodmen lodge. Few people," says
MI. Jarvis, realize the value of good
roads, unless they have travelled coun-
tries that have them. In Europe, the
cost per ton per mile of haul for farm
produce is only 8 cents. In this coun-
try the average cost per mile, per ton,
is 25 cents, and the average distance
here is nine miles, which makes the
average $2.25 per trip, with an aver
age of one trip per day.
"In gravel roads in mud, sand, slush,
ruts or rocks, team can haul two or
three times the present load, and the
wear upon man, team, and wagon is
little compared with the present road

Every person in the country, and
everyone in town or city, would be

Hubby s Worth $4,000.

SEATTLE, Dec. ia jury today
fixed the value of a husbands love at
$4,000 awarding this damage to Mrs.
Eliza Phillips who sued Mrs. Matte
Phillips for 100000 for the alienation
of the affections of John P Philips who
disappeared leaving his two wives to
fight it out.
Mrs. Matte Phillips is reported as
worth two millions.
The first wife got a divorce in Spo-
kane in 1909 after she was 21 years

distances in wagon. 1t is said that
the cost of hauling the crops of the
American farmers from the fields
where raised to the nearest place of
shipment surpasses the cost of freight
from points where it is put on the
cars or boat, to the place of use.
I'VE have millions of miles of roads
in the United States and they are the
poorest of any civilized land. Here
is a field of inexhaustable work. Such
roads would be worth more than a
great navy The cost of one battle
ship, say $10,000,0O0, would build and
give us 1000 miles of fine road at a
cost of $4,000 per mile. What one 12-
inch gun costs would build us 10 r.iles
at $4,000 per mile And that is giving
the maximum cost per mile for roads
Of this class. In some sections less
than half that would make permanent
and splendid roads.
How would 1000 miles of good
roads benefit Idaho? Let the farmers
testify.
Moscow l find to be about the Test
town l have struck in the west, and as
well off as any as to roads. Yet con-
slider the value to the merchants and
property owners here, as we'll as to the
farmers, if fine roads stretched out
in every direction for only 40 or SO
miles, roads which would defy sea-
son and storm, and roads, over which
at all times one could travel with
pleasure and impunity."

According to Burns when Eckhoff
met j. B. Mcnamara in Los Angeles,
Jim was SO Mortified over the affair that
he told Eckhoff the whole story After
Eckhoff had seen him twice with Jim,
the Burns detectives located the for
mer.
"Eckhoff's statement correborates
everything to which McManigle
swore," said Burns. His testimony
will be valuable because he is not i'm
plicated in any crime, and hence has
not any motive for shielding himself
as has McManigle."

Bribery Case On.

LOS ANGELES, Dec 11.-With the
McNamaras in San Quentin prison, in
terest today is centered in the hearing
of the Franklin bribery case before
Justice Young Franklin is charged
with the bribery of Mrs Balm, the wife
OF juror and of George Lockwood, a
prospective juror. The Lockwood mat
ter was what the prosecution intended
to prefer originally.
Capt. White, the first witness, said
that Franklin, in making the dicker
with him said he wanted White to be-
come custodian of $500 to pay Lock-
wood in the event of an acquittal or
disagreement in the Mcnamara jury.
He said it would be safe for me be-
cause they had already accepted two
jurors who would vote right" he said.
Lockwood testified that he was ap
preached by Franklin before his name
was drawn as juror and offered $4,000
He refused
Later he told Fredericks of the
transaction and on Fredericks' sug-
gestion went through with the deal
Whine Franklin raised the offer to
$500.
He said Franklin said he would have
to see Darrow before completing the
arrangements. Later they met and
Franklin said he meant Capt White |
and not Darrow.
Fredericks today denied he would |
prosecute Darrow for bribery, saying |
he had no evidence.
Darrow again denied that he knew
of the briberies
Lockwood continued saying that
Franklin told him that they had reach
ed the time in life where money count
ed more and he assured him that eve
rything was safe and that the defense
would provide sufficient number of
reasons to make juror doubt the
other testimony.
When the luncheon recess was taken
Balm and his wife remained to testi-
fly. They were needed to show Frank
Inns criminal intent, as the status of
the Lockwood case is not legally as
strong as the prosecution wishes
