LONDON, July 23.-Pretty and
petite Marie Adelaide, Grand Duchess
of Luxembourg, who only the other
day attained her 18th birthday (the
legal majority enjoys the distinction
of being the youngest reigning ruler
in the world.
Eldest of family of six daughters,

ruary of the Grand Duke.S The new
sovereign who is Luxemburg's first
woman ruler is said to be the person
ification of girlish amability, long ago
won the hearts Of her people, which is
not surprising when it is remember
ed that she comes of the Orange
Nassau family, who of all European
royal houses are famous for their
democratic simplicity.
One result of the recent visit OF the
young Prince of Wales to Paris is that
he takes up in earnest practice with
the folks and shows promise of be-
coming an expert swordsman. in con-
tradistinction to his father King
George ", who is one OF the best shots

BEALE TALKS WAGES
UNDER REPUBLICANISM

Hon. C. w. Beale, who is candidate
for United States representative CT
the republican ticket, and who was i'll
Moscow last week, had the following
to say while here, regarding labor un-
der the republican administrations:
'The men living in Shoshone county
| who are directly employed in mining
| and milling of ores, received an aver
age daily wage of $3.50, and the aggre~
gate yearly amount in wages of ST.
| $4,000 This is the highest scale OF
wages paid in the United States for
similar work In addition to the money
paid for labor, there is also expended
in our state for supplies purchased
from the farmers and merchants by
the mine owners in the Occur d'A'ene
district, the sum of $1,606,O00, making
the total annual payment in Idaho
alone by the mining industry of Sho-
shone county, of $6,246,O0O.
"In addition to the above sum paid
for labor and supplies, there was paid
last year, as the result of mining in
Shoshone county for in-going and out
going freight to railroads, nearly So
100000.
Passing to another large and i'm
portant industry in Idaho, we find that
there are over 100000 sheep on the
ranges of this state, which produce
a yearly wool clip of 100000 pounds.
There are about 800 persons who pay
taxes on sheep in this state. This bus
mess furnishes employment for 340O
men constantly, and work for nearly
as many more for about two months
of the year. For this labor the tock
owners pay annually $2,534, 400, for
merchandise, blacksmithing, supplies,
etc. $2,385, 800, for winter feed, ST.
200, 900, and for summer. grazing. per-
mits, $4,000. This princely sum of
$6,250,O0O comes into the state and
with the exception of a few thousand
dollars, is expended entirely in Ida
hO.
"It has been proven by careful es-
timation that there is standing within
the borders of our state, 60,O00,O00,000
feet of saw timber. At the present
scale of wages, it will require an ex-
penditure of $48O,000,000 to Idaho Ia
Dor to place this timber on the mar
ket and an additional payment for
supplies purchased at home of $i2O,-
900 900, agreegating the almost incom-
sum of $600,000,000.
"In the year 1911, as result of the
of lumber in the state
of Idaho, over $5,0OO,O00 were paid
to home labor and an expenditure of
$1,35O,0OO incurred for supplies pur-
chased in this state.
Referring to a newer, but never
theless very important employer of
labor and distributor of money, it will
be noted that during last year the
owners Of the sugar beet factories of
this state purchased from the local

because after the bundles are gather
the poor heads picked out. Also keep
in mind the Importance of bright,
clean straw. Don't gather large
bundle and tie it up before it has time
to dry out. If you do you will find the
straw discolored when it comes time
to display it. Tie the samples up in
small punches, tie one around the
butts, and hang them heads down from
ceiling where they will be out of
reach of mice. Be careful not to
shatter the heads. Pull the grain,
roots and all, and save it that way.
Don't cut it off near the ground. Show
the stools.
: Keep in mind anoher thing. Look
for the largest single stools of grain,
and save them.
For head displays go through the
fields and with a knife cut off straws
that have the largest and best heads.
Cut them near the ground. Save
punches six or more inches in dia-
meter. All surplus samples will be
wanted by the railroads for exhibits.
Latah county will get the credit.
With every sample always attach a
card giving name of variety of grain,
number OF acres in field, and as soon
as the crop is harvested make note
of the yield per acre.
Where possible get a good picture
of fine fields of grain. Have a man or
horse standing in the edge OF the field
to show comparative size. Also get
pictures of farms and buildings. Hun
dreds of them are wanted for feature
of the county exhibit. We want them
from every section of the county.
Now keep this in mind: The impor-
tant thing now is the saving of sam
pies. Don't depend on the other fell
low. Do your part.

"The issue on the tariff is squarely
defined between President Taft and
Governor Wilson," he said, "and the
wage-earners, farmers and merchants
are not going to exchange the present
markets for labor and products for a
repetition of the hard times and idle
ness of another Cleveland democratic
administration.
mo sooner did the democratic par
ty get in control of the present hoise
of representatives than it commenced
to tear down the industries of the
country.
''As evidence of this fact we have
a democratic Underwood bill that tolls
the knell of the sugar beet industry in
Idaho. We have another Underwood
bill, with it's ruinous lead and zinc sch
edule, that spells financial disaster
and idleness for the people of Sho-
shone county, and we have still an
other Underwood. bill that points the

LEWIS COUNTY SHERIFF
KILLS lilo RESIDENT

1t appears the warrant for Simmons
arrest on the charge of incest was is
sued early today and placed in the
hands of Marshal William Kincaid OF
He. Simmons declined to submit to
arrest, but went over to Vollmer,
where he secured a supply of ammu-
milton and started across the fields to-
ward Cold Springs creek. A telephone
message was then sent to Sheriff
Shockley at Nezperce and ne made the
drive to Ilo in an automobile. He
there took up the trail of Simmons,
at 6 o'clock last evening encountered
Simmons 17-year-old son On the road,
the boy having in his possession a
horse that he was taking to the George
Banks place to assist his father out of
the country. The boy was taken in
custody and the officers then drove
to the George Banks place, relying on
the information secured from the boy
After the shooting the officers
questioned Banks but the only state
ment he would make was to the effect
that he did not know that Simmons
was endeavoring to escape arrest and
did not know he was armed. Banks
was in the room with Simmons when
the officers arrived and freely stated
that Simmons fired the first shot.
Simmons was one of the pioneer ;es-
idents of the Ilo section and is sur
vived by his 17-year-o1d son and IA
year-old daughter. He also leaves sew
eral brothers and other relatives re-
siding in and about Ilo.

LEWISTON, Idaho, July 23.-Jake
Simmons, a resident of Ilo, was killed
shortly after 1915 o'clock last night
by Sheriff W. T. Shockley of Lewis
county, after he had shot the officer
through the right hand in resisting
arrest on a charge of incest alleged to
have been committed against his IA
year-old daughter. The shooting took
place at the George Banks ranch, a
mile west of Chesley, where Sim
mons sought refuge for the night in
his flight out of the country.
Sheriff Shockley, accompanied by
Fred Warren, reached the Banks house
at 1915 O'Clock and Warren took a
position at the window while Mr..
Shockley went to the door. He rap
ped on the door and announced that
he was an officer. The door was op-
eneded by Simmons, who fired at the
same time. The bullet made an ugly
wound in Sheriff Shockley's hand but
he returned the fire and Simmons fell
to the floor in dying condition. Not
a word was spoken after the officer
demanded admittance to the house and
Simmons made no effort to speak after
he was shot Warren fired one shot
through the window but it is believed
the bullet from Shockley's gun entered
Simmons abdomen. The body was left
where it fell and the officers came to
Reubens to report the case to the cor
oner and secure surgical attendance
for Mr.. Shockey's hand.

But the cup must be won twice by

Kendrick has won it once. Kendrick
must win it again to keep it. But
Kendrick has only an even chance
with all other districts in the county.
The one that wins it twice will keep
it.

Troy, or any other district may win it
this fall, and then another next year
until some district wins twice. Not
twice in succession.
The cash offered is very liberal. 1t
is a great deal more than was awarded
for county displays at the Spokane In

won but $50 for first. But that makes
no difference. The Latah fair man
