CHARGE FARMER
WITH ARSON
Pioneer of Troy Section in
Latah County
Jail.

Moscow June % Steve Roberts,
a pioneer of the Troy section. was
lodged in jail last night by Sheriff
Brown to answer to the charge of
arson, the complaining witness being
Thomas Campbell, a neighbor of
Roberts. The preliminary examin-
alton was set for July 8 and Roberts
bonds fixed at $25OO. 1t is expected
he will furnish bail for his appear
ance, statement being made that his
brothers are now arranging to secure
his release.
Roberts is charged with burning
Campbelps residence last Thursday
evening and the officials state they
have strong case against him:
The Campbell residence was located
but short distance from Roberts
home and there has been bad feeling
between the men for several year S.
The location of the fire suggested
that it was of incendiary origin and
the investigation which followed is
said to point strongly to Roberts
Both men have resided in the Troy
section for many years and the arres
has aroused a keen interest. The
Campbell home was just completed
and the loss of the building and con
tents is estimated at about $4,000.

Get Your Exhibits Ready

Now is the time for the farmers
to get their samples of grain together
and take an interest in the different
kinds of produce that they intend to
show at the county fair this fall.
This end of the county has got to
make a showing. We have the
goods and it is up to US to get the
prizes. No better crops grow than
in this part of the country and the
farmers have the right to the honor
of having grown them. To do this
the farmers must look after the stuff
as it grows.

Crops Show Good

Crop reports from all parts of the
Pacific Northwest. gathered and tab
ulated by the Seattle National Bank,
indicate that the farmers of this Sec
ton are going to have fine harvests
this year. Wheat and other grains
are doing very well. The fruit Sec
tons east of the mountains are COM
ing along nicely; while the berry
growers of western Washington are
getting good returns from their acres
This condition is causing the Easttc
take a great interest in the North
west Reports are just coming in
in responce to the Comptroller o.
the Currency's latest call on the ma
tional banks. All of them show Z
healthy condition. So despite tn
presidential election, the Northwes
looks good.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME

V. A. Randle, of Texas Ridge,
Just returned from a trip through the
southern part of the state and through
parts of Washington and Oregon.
He informs the Gazette that this old
Kendrick and Texas ridge is good
enough for him. Take it, he says,
in the southern part of Washington
and Oregon where they grow such
fine crops they have to irrigate and
give them great deal of care, and
then something always happens to
them or the prices are not right, so
not much is made after all. The
wind Thursday, says Mr.. Randall
caused the loss of several thousand
dollars worth of fruit near Walla
Walla. This is the same kind OF
talk we hear from those going away
from this place to better themselves
Of course you can always see greener
pastures just over the hill but wher
you get there, it's the next hill. Gu
out this dissatisfied feeling and boos
for the country in which you live.

and in those shipments will be in
cluded the best cattle brought from
the breeding and dairy farms of the
middle west sections. Mr.. Miller
secured the best 13 Holsteins while
the champion Holstein COW was
purchased by John Wissink, a farm
er of the Nezperce section. The i'm
ported Guernsey COW was bought
by Geo. Nichols. another Nezperce
citizen. the price being $4OO. Mr..
Nichols also secured eight other
pure-bred Gurnseys. The champion
Jersey COW was bid in by c. w.
Felt, a Nezperce merchant.
The work of the auctioneers was
most satisfactory and the bidders
were kept in good humor and active
throughout the day. 1t is probable
the other shipments will be largely
confined to pure-bred stock and the
higher grades as the demand for the
better stock was very apparent to-
day.
A big sale like this pulled off in
our community and not one head
bought by our farmers. What i:
the matter. don't you want better
cattle? These cattle coming into a
community means more than yo,
can see at glance. When the mex
sale is pulled off let our farmers &c
in and buy some good cattle.

The sale of pure-bred and high

today under the auspices of the Uni
versity of Idaho brought buyers to
the unmber of 500 from all sections

one of the most encouraging features
is that the better the animal offered

that the best stock obtainable is
what is wanted on the Idaho farms
and Prof. Carlyle and his assistants
are we'll pleased with the result
The project of bringing in the dairy

success from a financial standpoint

tonight in the dying hours of the Re-
publican convention where he met
defeat. The followers of Colonel
Roosevelt gathered in Orchestra hall,
less than a mile from the Coliseum,
and pledged their supportto the for
mer president. In accepting the
nomination Colonel Roosevelt appeal
ed to the people of all section, regasd-
less of party affiliation, to stand with
the founders of the new party, one
of whose cardinal principles, he said
was to be Thou shalt not steal"
The informal nomination of Colon--
el Roosevelt was said to be chiefly
for the purpose of affecting tenn
porary organization, beginning to-
morrow, when call is to be issued
for state meeting.
Although the public announce
ment was not made until late, the
meeting whichswas expected to re-
suit in the formation of new party,
word of the plan was flashed about
the city and before the doors were
opened large crowd had collected,
extending nearly block on Michigan
avenue.
Police reserves were summoned to
handle the crowds. When the doors
were thrown open the people stream
ed in, quickly filling all the seats ex-
cept those reserved for delegates
from Republican national convention,
their alternates and the Roosevelt
delegates to whom seats in the CON-
vention we're refused.
The first persons admitted to the
hall were those wearing large red
badges with the words national Re-

When the news of the nomination
of President Taft reached the hall,
all the Roosevelt leaders seemed

TAFT NOMINATED
FOR PRESIDENT
On The Republican Ticket
And Causes Split In The
Party.

Convention Hall, Chicago, June
22.-With nearly $50 of the Roose-
welt delegates declining to vote and
Fastening away at adjournment time
to tender to Colonel Roosevelt the
nomination of a new party. the fif-
teenth Republican national conven-
ton at the end of long and tumul-
tuous session tonight nominated
William Howard Taft of Ohio for
president and James Schoolcraft
Sherman of New York for vice pres
ibent.
President Taft received SCI of the
1918 votes in the convention, or 81
more than a majority.
The decision of the Roosevelt
people, under the direction of their
leader, to refrain from voting left no
other candidate near the president.
The announcement of the Taft vic
tory was greeted with cheering from
his adherents and groans and Kisses
from the opposition.
When it became absolutely certain
early today that Mr.. Taft would be
nominated without great difficulty,
the leaders in control of the conven-
ton decided to give him as running
mate his companion on the ticket of
1908.
All others dropped from the race
and Mr.. Sherman was the only can
didate regularly placed before the
convention. A motion from New
Hampshire to make the nomination
by acclamation was declared out OF
order. There were many scattering
,, votes on the rollcall that ensued.
! The convention amid much con-
fusion adjourned sine die. AT nc
time was there an indication of q
walk out of the Roosevelt delegates.
They expressed their revolt by sill
ence.
-. In the confusion just before ad

Some Councilmen Are at
Present Opposed to Appro-
priating Salary for the Pro-
posed Official.
AN INVESTIGATION
WILL BE DEMANDED
To Ascertain Real Reason
Why Government With
drew Its Inspectors from
Municipal Plant.

Meat inspection may be withdrawn
from the city slaughtering house. Sew
eral members of council have stated
they will not vote for an ordnance ap-
propriating money to pay the salary OF
city meat Inspector until an inyesti-
cation of some charges made in con-
noction with the government with
ing house is made.
The charges made are that the city
administration interferred with the
work OF the government inspectors,
Messrs. Waggoner and Putnam in sew
eral matters regarding inspection at
the city plant. 1t is said that soon fol-
lowing visit of high official of the
department of agriculture to the city
slaughtering house, where close ex-
animation of conditions was made, the
local inspectors received notice OF
their withdrawal from service at the
city, or the Holzapfel plant.
The government inspectors were al
lowed to work at the city plant by
special permit from the department OF
agriculture.
Appropriation Needed.
Council will be asked Monday night
to appropriate 5000, thesproposed an
nual salary, for the meat Inspector,
DIR. George .Ferling, now inspector by
the mayors appointment, at the city
siaughtering. house. DIR. Ferling's son.
Clarence. Is acting as assistant inspec-
tor, although he is really in active
charge of the work at the slaughtering
house.
At the time of the government g
withdrawal of the inspectors stationed
at the Holzapfel, or city slaughteriug
house, reports were current that the
official reason assigned for this ac-
ton, that the amount of interstate
business did not obligate the govern
ment to continue it's inspection" was
not the entire cause for the withdraw
al of the u. s. inspectors. Several
councilmen believe the inspection is
not necessary, but inasmuch as the
majority of people seem to desire in.
spected meat, experienced inspectors,
not necessarily veterinarians, could be
secured for smaller salary than SIS
per month.
The question promises to be thor.
'oughly threshed out at council Mon.
day night.

Forbes was severely injured; tele-
phone pole was cut in twain: a rig

If tho fire truck had skdded q foot

40 miles an hour. II first sideswiped
the rig driven by Forbes, an empIoye

was hurled some distance by the ter
rifle impact, and almost completely
demolished. Next the truck flashed
upon the sidewalk striking Isaac Par.
ry, man over sixty years of age,
practically tearing his head off. Par
ry's brains and blood were scattered
over the sidewalk a distance of sever
