We have heard much within the last two years of the high cost of Tving in the United States, and we have had
 city mayors buying potatoes and tur- keys to distribute at cost to the citi- zens. in order, as they say, to break the bower of local combinations. At no time, however, has there been so

In accordance with the resolution ol

defects in the water system here, As
set forth in the complaint filed with the
land board 10y the Attorneys for the Ca
nal Users Association.
We acknowledge pleasant visit from
Mr.. Robinson and enjoyed quite II
lengthy conversation with him. His at
tention was called tn several minor
grievances that had been filed with MS,
but he stated that time would not per

ties at present, but that all OF these de-
tails would be gone into before making
his final report upon the acceptance ol
the system. lie was combining his work
at the present time to the work along
the main canal and the construction oi
the Jerome reservoir, with casual look
at some of the coulees and laterals.
As the report Of the engineer is to he
filed with the board tomorrow (trlday)

The Pilgrims viii Return.

There seems Ia be fascination about
Jerome and the surrounding country
that is hard To explain, rs while from
time to time some of our citizens decide
To seek their fortunes elsewhere, il is
only question OF a little time when
many OF them return, fully convinced
that this is not the worst section on the
map.
Last week Mr. Clark Stanton, accom-
panied 10y his wife and three sons. re
turned To Jerome after an absence OF
two years spent in Montana. Mr. Stan
ton was one OF the pioneers OF Jerome,
and before the advent OF the railroad
was the head frcighter for the Ostrander-
Reed Lumber Co., hauling all their build
ing material overland from Shoshone
Clark says Jerome looks better than ever
to him, and that he is back to stay and
that nothing can tempt him Ia forsake
this section again.

His Services Appreciated.

Those who have followed the history
OF the Canal Users Association since its
organization on the tract, are familiar
with the sacrifices made 10y members OF
the Board OF Directors in attending to the
business OF the Association. Among the
present members there is no one who
has given more attention to the details OF
the organization than Mr.. W. =. Rice,
who at present holds the position as
President OF the board. Recent develop
ments have made it necessary for the
president to devote more than the usual
time to these duties, with consequent
neglect OF farm work. The hayng sea
Ion being on, Mr.. Rice found himself
badly handicapped, with IA good pros

to waste for the want of time and facili-
ties for putting it up.
The situation becoming apparent TO
some OF the neghbors, it was suggested
that members Of the association in that
neighborhoOd turn out and assist him in
cutting his hay. Right here WAS exem-
plilird the true neighborly spirit that ex-
lists among the settlers on the tract. OF
course everyone is right in the midst OF
having and devoting all their energies to
getting their hay in the stack, but the
moment the suggestion was made, each
and everyone approached were ready and

behalf.
Sunday last was set az the day for OPP
crations, and after it was thought that
Mr.. Rice was safely seated in his accus-

to arrive until upwards OF half dozen
were on the ground, and the slaughter Of
alfalfa began. Others came with rake,
and forks and nightisnl found upwards
of thirty acres cut, the most OF il rakec

Death From Tansy.

The sudden death of Lena Spears, of
Acequa, as reported last week AS occur
ring from eating poisoned candy, has
been attributed TO an overdose Of tansy,
which was sent to her in a package from
Bull. Children who ate OF the candy
that came in the same package suffered
no i'll effects from the same, and post
norton examination of the deceased
gave no reason for the use of the tansy.
A little investigation 10y the sheriff 5
Office located the sender of the package
AS Ray Weaver, whose parents reside at
Bull. The young man was located AT
Wala Walla, Wash, and deputy was
sent for him and he was brought back to
Shoshone the first of the week. The
Journal of the latter place in speaking
of the accused, says:
1.-The prisoner is fine specimen OF
physical manhood, standing full six feet
in his stockings. His clear eyes reflect
no sinister light. His features are regu-
lar and his head well poised. He WAS
plainly distressed and wretched.
His father, ID. c. Weaver, who is a
Bull farmer, being advised of the trouble
of his son, came to Shoshone on the first
train that could bring him here, being
accompanied by one of his sons-in-law.
They are we'll to do people. The father
said there are ten children in the family
His inst act was to help in cleaning up
the son, after giving him shave. For
the boy the father brought along two
suit cases oi clothing. The father, who
was sorely afflicted in the conduct OF the
son, said he left the boys mother heart
broken.
"This boy" said the father, "ha'
heretofore been employed AS express
agent at Minidoka. Another one of ON
boys is the express messenger ON thu
Minidoka- Bull run. We came TO Idaho
from near Pittsburg, in Pennsylvania. "

The newspaper Excelsior quotes mem
Der of the German Yacht Club for the
following story of the Emperor William:
One day when the Hohenzollern was en-
tering a Norwegian port, the kaiser, i'm
patient at the ships slow progress, HIM
self rang the engine room telegraph bell
and ordered increased speed. To lis great
stupefaction the pilot, an old Norwegian
named NOrdhuns. jumped to the telephone
and called to the engineers to take TO
notice Of the signal, but to slow down
again.
After a glance at the man who dared
to speak thus in his presence, the Ger
man emperor ordered the pilot TO leave
the bridge and consider himself under'ar
rest. but tie old man. without moving
an eyebrow. replied: Il shall not leave
this spot. The ship is under my direc
ton. and nobody. not even an emperor, is
going to give me any orders. The Off
GERS present. knowing that the pilot lad
maritime law on his side. looked on in
silence. and We're surprised to see the
emperor quit the bridge and leave the
pilot in charge of the ships navigation.
On the following day his mood passed and
he decorated the old sailor. at the same
time appointing him his o1acial pilot in

HOSPITALITY IS COSTLY
Many Tourists Remain Several
Days at Hospice of the
Grand st. Bernard.
Foreign Correspondence Of The star.


GENEVA, October 4, 1912
The custom adopted by tourists during
the last few years of spending week ends
during the summer in the Hospice OF the
Grand ST. Bernard without any cost to
themselves. except perhaps the dropping
of coin or two i'm the collection box on
leaving is greatly enbarra ssing the
hospitable monks. The latter. indeed, are
unable to stand the financial strain, as
every year their losses are larger The
hospice receives yearly 10000 persons.
of whom 10000 are tourists, many OF
whom simply regard the monastery as
a good free hotel in the Alps.
BY the regulations of the religious
order, the monks must harbor any per-
son demanding their hospitality for twen-
ty-four hours gratuitously. but many
stay several days without pay.
ing The hospice can accommodate from
$50 to 100 persons at a time, and re-
cently-for the comfort OF requests
the monks installed electricity and CEN
trail heating in the ancient building,
which now resembles a large modern
Alpine hotel.
At the hospices of the Slmplon and
Petit st. Bernard the monks We're forced
TO fix tariff for their visitors, as in
q hotel and the Grand st. Bernard
monks will be Obliged to follow the ey-
ample unless the public is more liberal.
The subsidies formerly received by the
hospice from the Swiss. Italian and
French governments have ceased.
