BIG CROPS IN NORTHWEST

The harvesting of the bumper crops
of the Northwest, and the increase
in railroad building and other activ-
tiles, have made such heavy drafts
on the available force of laborers,
that the Secretary of the Interior has
found it necessary to advertise for
men to work on the big Arrowrock
dam which the government Is build
ing in the canyon of the Boise River
23 miles east of the city of Boise.
More than a thousand men will be
required at this point during the con-
struction period, which probably will
extend over the five or six years.
The officials of the Reclamation
Service in charge of the work and
many of the laborers have taken
their families to the camp, which is
already fair sized town with most
of the conveniences and many of the
luxuries of older permanent COM
munities. There are electric lights,
telephones, telegraph, express and
railway service A large general
merchandise and grocery store sup
plies the needs of the inhabitants,
furnishing them with first class arti-
cles at reasonable prices. They are
protected from fire by an up-to-date
fire department. which drills reg
ularly, and mems club under the
auspices of the Y. NJ C. A. furnishes
diversion for the men. There is
large reading room equipped with
books and periodicals, while phono-
graphs, moving picture shows, re-
ligious meetings, pool rooms, baths,
reading and writing desks, ETC., pro-
vide entertainment to suit all tastes.
A first class hospital, expert med
ical and surgical skill is maintained.
The Service has also installed an ice
plant. water works, and other util-
tiles enjoyed by up to date towns.
The laborers are not allowed to
work more than eight hours during
"a, and the wages are good. Mr.. G.
Fl. Paul, the construction engineer,
at Arrowrock, Idaho, will be glad to
receive applications for work and to
answer any inquiries concerning it.

TAG DAY AND THE BABY

Last Friday was tag day, and not
withstanding the big events of the
day and the interruption of the storm
a good boost was given to the pro-
jects for which it was given.
The little baby that was being
cared for in Blackfoot pending the
offer of home, was committed to
the care of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. D.
Braegger of Shelley, Route one.
Mrs. Braegger was at home when
somebody telephoned her about the
child, and she talked it over with
her husband and took the morning
train for Blackfoot. When she was
shown into the front door at Sage
hurst to see the baby it was lying
among pillows in front of the fire.
place and greeted her with win
ming smile. 1t seemed to be case
of love at first sight, and the two
lovers went away together in the
afternoon.
Considering the number Of peo-
pie it met, the little tot MADE friends
faster than Col. Roosevelt did. 1t
came to town very badly clad, very
weak and with a drawn expression
that appealed to everybody who
studied it. Yet in its trouble 1t was
cheerful and greeted people with
smiles, although it was scarcely able
to hold its head up. Sometimes it
could not quite do that, it was so
weak But 1t had good appetite
and good digestion, and when it had
been loved and fed and befriended
for three days it was so strong and
jolly and had lost SO much of the
troubled, starved look, that it seemed
like a different baby.
When it arrived in town it need
ed clothing, and Mrs. Trego who had
it in charge, rang up several ladies
who might have baby clothes to
spare, and the word was passed
along until full wardrobe was as
sembled and offers had to be de-
clined.
The first lady to send things con-
tributed a little dress that had be-
longed to baby she lost, and she
parted with it with a smile and a
tear When the little strangers
wardrobe was completed it was re-
turned to her.
Blackfoot people are going to be
interested in seeing the little lady
Helen each year at fair time.

The peculiar way in which
John E. w. Wayman ran the
states attorneys office is just
coming to light.
The Day Book discovered that
Wayman had quashed ID separ-
ate indictments against Mike de
Pike Heitler, former king of the
West Side levee.
One of the quashed indict-
ments was for bigamy, the other
thirteen were for running conf
dence gaines and keeping disor-
derby houses.
Before he became states attor-
ney, Wayman used to be attorney
for the vice lord of the West Side.

Despite the chill wintry blast,
the two young men decided upon
an afternoons fishing from a boat
moored in the swift-running
river.
When theyreturned their noses
were blue with cold, but through
it all they had a smile-and some
very small and decidedly imma-
ture fish.
The young lady-she was sis
ter to one of the fishermen and
the apple of the eye of the other
angler-lnet them as they were
wriggling out of their overcoats.
'Ah," she remarked teasingly,
so you've been fishing again, de-
spite the cold wind. Let me see!
Fish go in schools, don't they"
'fBut why do you ask?" asked
the angler who was not brother
to the lady, but who would have
liked to be something else.
'Er-nothing," she replied de-
murely. 81 was only thinking.
Er-you've been fishing in the in->
fants' class, haven't you;?"

Present Report in Favor of
Young Millionaire.
BY international News Service

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10,-Represen-
tative Theron Catlin. the young mill
ionaire and society man from St Louis,
betrothed of Miss Laura Merriam, a
Washington beauty. is given clear
title to his seat in the honse under n
Republican report filed today by the
minority members Of the house commit
tee of elections, which investigated
charges of illegal Use of money in his
election @
The Democratic majority members of
the committee voted to unseat CatIin
and to seat his opponent, Patrick Gill,
who brought the charges. They held
that the members of Catlin s family
had spent more than $4,000 to secure
his election. The Missouri law fixes
the limit of expenditures at $662.
The Republican members of the COM
mittee insist that Catlin himself kept
within the limits Of the state statute
on the election expenditures and that he
had no knowledge of expenditures in
his interest by his relatives. y
The coutests will be decided in the
house Monday.
There is in the minority report a,
rap at Colonel Roosevelt and the Bull
Moose party when it declares:
"In these days when sometimes sus-
picion seems almost equal to convic-
ton, when 'thief. 'frobber. fyegg, and

II ing over the hot desert of north
western chihuahua is band of
400 determined Mormon men
who are leaving their homes and their
all behind them in the pioneer colonies
which they and their fathers have
founded in the wilderness of the
Mexico frontier. After hiding in the
mountains west Of Colonia Juarez un-
til the men from the Chichapa, Garcia
and other remote colonies in the noun
tains could join them, the settlers
started for Hachita, N. M, and El
Paso, where their families are existing
in refugee camps awaiting the settle
ment Of the war.
News Of the Mormons came from
Mexican Consul E. C. Lorent, who re-
ceived the report from General San

to remain In the hills, where they were
fortified, but it is supposed that Stake

to be gained by waiting, and as soon
as all of the men Of the mountain
colonies arrived they started on horse
back for the border, over burning
sand and with water holes many miles
apart, and food scarce.
When the Mormons were discovered
by General saniines they were at
Colonia Seco, fifteen miles from Oiitos,
where General Sanjines administered
such defeat to the rebels that they
have not opposed him further. He
said that there were 500 in the party
in his official message TO the consul
here, but the officials of the Mormon
church here say that that number is
too high, as there cannot be more than
400 of the men in the expedition.
Elder A. w. Ivins, who is at the
head Of the church affairs here, ac-
companied by Bishop o. P. Brown, will
leave in the morning for Hachita,
where they will await the coming of
the refugees, who are expected to
reach there some time Sunday night
Wagons loaded with food have been
rushed to the border, and couriers have
been sent out to locate the refugee

Some time afterward Mrs. Balm
found herself feeling abnormally
drowsy, and the mistake was discov-
cred An emetic was given her and
vomiting induced, but absorption had
progressed too far. The drug had been
taken into the blood and continued its
deadly work. Drs. g. F. Wilcox and
c.. R. Openshaw- were called in and did
all that might be done for the dying
woman, but in spite of their combined
efforts death claimed her within two
hours after her fatal mistake.
HThe trouble lay in the fast that
the mistake was not discovered soon
enough to make the emetic effective, 4"
