District Court
Opens.
JUDGE STocKsLAGER PRESIDING.

The January term of the dis
trict Court opened in Albion, on
Monday morning with Judge
Stockslager presiding. Attorn-
eys Howells, Lowe, AbramsOn,
Hunter. Johnson and Rogers
were present. On account OF
Prosecuting Attnorney I.
Bailey Lee being sick in bed the
maj ority of the cases that were
ready for trial and in which he
was prosecutor were either held,
awaiting developments in his
condition, or were passed till the
next term OF court From pres
ent indications there will be but
few cases brought up on account
OF this being a new session and
nearly everybody expecting that
the court would not be held till
March
Cassia county has very few
criminal cases on the docket
which is no bad showing. There
are number of civil matters re-
quireing attention. This will
likely be very common for a great
number OF years on account of
the adjustment taking place IN the
county in land matters and
rights not heretofore brought to
the attention OF people under for
mer conditions.

Watch Your Fruit Trees
for Work of Rodents.

Idaho is thought by some pros
pective orchardists as state of
sage brush, wind, sand and rod
ents. All Of these it is true can
be found in Idaho, but not so
numerous as to be detrimental to
first class horticulture. This
state is being rapidly set out to
fruit and it is destined to be one
of the greatest producing states
OF deciduous fruits in the Union.
Of all rodents detrimental to
fruit the commonjack rabbit and
field mouse are the most injurious
found in Idaho. The damage
these animals do is seen here and
there on fruit trees of all kinds.
especially upon young trees. 1t
is reported from the Ohio Eperi-
ment Station, that that state
suffers annually a loss of over
two hundred thousand dollars
from bark eating rodents. These
animals are pressed for food at
this time of the year, hence, they
seek the orchards more at this
time than any other. The dam
age that they do is from stripp-
ing the bark from young trees
and in many cases, completely
girdling them, causing their
death or necessitating bridge
grating the following spring
1t is not difficult, as any one
knows, to see above the snow
line, the injury which the jack
rabbit inhicts, but it is the grid
ing of trees under the snow line,
by small rodents which harbor
in various kinds of vegetative
matter found at the base of trees
where clean culture is not ann
ually practised. The writer was
in one orchard last winter, where
every tree had been completely
girdled by the jack rabbit. This
orchard had no rabbit tight fence
around it, neither was the immed
late neighboIhood. hence the loss
of this orchard. In another orch
ard was noticed at this same
period, the work of field mice un
der the snow. This orchard wa.
ten years old and has been in soc
for the last ten years. The own
had not the least idea that any
girdling of his trees was taking
place at that time until we mad,

BRYAN SAYS HE'S Nor
CANDIDATE.
Doesn't Want Anyone to Think
He Is Out of the Political Game
However.

Raleigh, N. c.. Jan. 6.-"I am
not a candidate for any office
and what l say now ought to be
accepted. l honestly believed
in previous campaigns that |
would poll the largest vote of
any man in the field, but l have
an idea that there are others who
can poll more votes now than
| can, and l can work more
earnestly for them than for my
self. When | say this let no man

candidacy"
This was the declaration here
tonight of William J. Bryan in
addressing an audience in the
Raleigh auditorium.
Mr.. Bryan spoke against con-
troll of the government by cor
porations and declared for pro
gressive Democracy, urging th
value of the iniative and referen-
dunn, and showing that the poll
cies that he had advocated had
been adopted by the Republicans
and that Roosevelt and TAFT
were following his lead.

Contract for County Printing
Let.

The contract for printing the
county proceedings was let last
Wednesday and hereafter the
three papers of this county will
furnish the people of their respec-
tive districts with the happen
ings of the county officers in their
work. That this method will
prove more satisfactory is quite
evident. Heretofore it has been
the custom to publish it in one
place and if people in another
community did not happen to
take the paper in which it was
published they were deprived OF
keeping in touch with what was
being done only as they could
CLEAN from hearsay but the new
method will do away with this
Objectionable feature and at the
same time the papers will share
equally in all the work to be
done by the county in the way
of printing. AS all sections of
the county contribute to it's own
upbuildlng and growth there is
no just reason why the people
should not be acquainted with
the official actions OF its officers
and other doings pertaining TO
the government OF the county
without paying extra for this IN
formation.
This action makes the papers
now being published the Official
County papers and each section
gets its proper recognition.
For a long time this part of the
county has not been favored
with the commissioners proceed
ings and other work that could
have been done here and this con-
ditiOn wasnot satisfactory. This
side has always contained the
greater number of people and
they were entitled to more than
they got which was possibly due
to the fact that they did not go
after more, but this was not sat
isfactory to this paper and we
aimed under legitimate methods
to change the looks of things a
little. We only asked what was
fair and the outcome is quite sat
isfactory. We believe thepeo D lie
will welcome the present system

Legislature
will meet
Monday.
NEW MEASURES TO BE
PRESENTED

When the legislature meets on
Monday next there will no doubt |
be speedy caucus OF the Repub-
lican forces of the two houses to
consider just what they will do
with the new Revenue Bill gotten
up by Gov. Hawley aud his as
sisstants for consideration at the
special session.
In all there are twenty-nine of
them, all relating to the state
revenue, and there are but
twenty days IN which to accom-
plish the work, therefore it is i'm
perative that better than one
bill per day shall be passed,
which is a problem confronting
the Senators and Representatives
this short term.
Bill no. / provides for a svs-
tenn of revenue for state, county
municipal and school purposes,
it recommends tax commission,
and defines what taxable prop
erty is; Bill no. 3 proposes to
ammend certain parts OF the
present code so as to make it Op-
tional with the county commits
sioners whether or not they dis
pense with, or continue to collect
the poll tax which has been SO
long in existence.
Bill no. S provides for the levy
ing of a tax for the construction
and repair of bridges in the
county. Bills 10 and 2Oprovide
for laws governing our public
school system and fixes levies for
the support of the state schools
Bill no. 21 limits the county
commissioners from levying more
than 12 mills on the dollar wher
such valuation is SIS, 900, 100000
or under and where it goes high
er the rate is reduced on a basis
OF so MANY million increase in
valuation. No. "a fixes limit
of mills on the dollar to be lev
led in any one year in cities and
villages.
There are several joint resolu
tions proposing the amending %
the constitution Of the state
which must be presented to the
voters of the state at the next
general election, which provide
for the constitution to be sc
changed so as to limit the rate
of taxation tor county and mum
icipal purposes.
There are a great many othe
changes proposed by the Cover
nor and his aids which shall
come before the people and b'
watched with interest.

washington, July 2S.-An epidemic
new to washington has swept over
the city. They call it "pennantitis."
and almost everyone in the capital
seems to be AFFLICTED. Never before
in the history Of the national game
have the people OF this town been so
worked up as they are just now over
the very remarkable and surprising
showing the Senators have made DUR
ing the present season. When the
team astonished the baseball world by
winning seventeen straight games the
washington fans about lost their
heads. Then came q slump and much
depression. Now the Senators have
had another long streak OF good luck,
and the hopes of local fandorn are
again soaring.
There is every reason for figuring
washington as a pennant possibility, !"

pitchers OF opposing teams and it will
probably be concluded that Griffith is
as well fortified in this respect as
any Of the others.
"There are other teams which are
superior in the batting department TO

tonight for his match with Kossick
at the Fargo ~operahouse Thursday
night under the auspices of a new
athletic club. He has been in train
ing ever inc his match three weeks
6 In Canada and states that he is in
d. shape for the contest.
Kossick's training work has been
maintained ever since his return from
Canada, where he had several matches.
With both men in such excellent con-
dition the spectators should see a fast
boxing contest when they meet tomor-
row night.
The doors will be open at $3.50, the
preliminaries will start at 1890 and
the big boxing contest will begin at
II o'clock. It should be one of the
most scientific exhibitions ever seen in
Fargo. The Fargo operahouse is the
