The great Boise valley, land Of sun
shine and the home of the big red
apple and the purple prune. is no
longer the land of the jack rabbit
sagebrush and infested with snakes,
the reputation 1t had only in the minds
Of apple exhibitors from the states OF
Washington and oregon. The Boise
valley exhibitors, who made a re-
markable showing at the Pacific North
west Land Products show at Port
land, Nov. 10 to 90, dispelled this dis
torted picture in the minds and i'm
aginations of outside growers bringing
1t forcibly home to the Hood River
and Wanatchee growers In particular,
forcing them to give way to the SUI
periority of the Idaho fruit and be sat
isfied with seconds and thirds. The
Boise valley has as a result been put
down as one of the choicest fruit Sec
lions in the west.
Return With Many Prizes.

rake. He was commissioned by the
Boise Commercial club to handle the
exhibit at Portland and returns will

In the opinion of Mr.. Ashby Boise
valley would not have been placed or

of growers of the Pacific coast states
had it not been for the action taker

the exhibit.

Northwest Land Products Show

with seconds and thirds, for the Boise
valley fruit was superior in the opinion
of the Judges and they gave local ex-
hibitors the firsts on yellow Newtowns
and Winesaps. This is considered re-
markable in view Of the fact the Boise
valley growers only took one box Of
Newtowns to Portland. While Hood
River had close to a dozen or more.
The judging resulted in the Boise
growers not only outclassing the Hood
River and Wenatchee growers, but TAX

There is no question in my mint
but what the Boise valley could hav,
carried of the big prize-artistic dis
play Of apples-had it been possibl,
for US to have taken the Dorman ap
Pile display that appeared at the stat
fair here, to Portland. II would hav,
outclassed the prize winner there, IL
my opinion. The growers were Willing
to give their fruit for that purpos
but the state, which had purchased i
through the immigration commissioner
could not let us have 1t. AS it was w

a formal statement and signed by
Hickey.
Both the Josephs boy, whose dismem-
bered body was found in a cesspool
back of saloon in Lackawanna, and
the Kruck boy, were strangled. Hickey
attributed the crime to excessive use
of liquor. When drunk, he said, he
possessed an Irresistible mania for
killing boys. He denied that he had
committed other similar crimes and
said he was repentant of his deeds, and
expected to pay the penalty.
Hickey was arrested at the colony
of inebriates at Whiting. N. j.. Nov.
10. His fondness for writing postal
cards to the police proved his undo
ing. He mailed cards at Boston and
New York and their reproduction in
newspapers led friend to inform the
police of his suspicious. An order for
his arrest followed.
On one postal from New York. the
writer said of the Kruck murder:
"wednesday night, December, 1902,
enticed Michael Kruck. a newsboy. into
the park opposite the entrance to the
arsenal of the police station, strangled
him and just escaped an officer who
found him. Three times have taken
life, IL times l have tried and can
not help it,"
Another card from Boston told OF
the murder of the Josephs moy and
where the body could be found. The
police followed instructions and re-
covered the body in decomposed frag-
! ments.

Stockton, Kan, Sept. "a veterin-

noSed the peculiar disease that has
baffled the best doctors of the state

to eight horses day in this county for

opinion that it is caused by a small
insect that crawlS into the ear of the

that finally shows itself in the blind

spinal meningiti seems to save very
few of them, three out of four being

very simple. He pours a small guam

drops of turpentine into the ear of
the animal and let's it run well down
the opening. In every case treated so
far this has relieved the animal in a
short time, and every one seems to
