beneath the depth of the calm demeanor
of Jack Rose" the counsel continued.
"the degradation and criminality of
his character His was the brain that
directed the pot which Weber, WALTON
and Schepps carried into execution"

Rose feared the gunner and sought

ON OBSERVANCE
Of THANKSGIVING

Governor Hawley today issued the
following Thanksgiving day proclama-
ton:
Thanksgiving day was born Of the
deep religious sentiment of the New
England Puritians and became rec
ognized national day or prayer and re-
ligious services during the dark days
Of the Civil war. 1t has thus become
the distinctly religious festival of the
American people. and In accordance
with this time-Eonored and hallowed
custom so interviewer with the very
fibre of our national life, the presi-
dent of the United States has desig-
mated Thursday. Nov. rs. 1912. as a
day of Thanksgiving and prayer, and
it behooves us on that day to suspend
the usual vocations of life and to re-
turn thanks to Almighty God for the
bounteous blessings Of a year Of peace
and prosperity. Happily as humanity
climbs the heights and wider grows
the horizon of mans vision, more
clearly do we comprehend the loving
care of an All-wise Father and mingle
with our worship the songs of hope
and inspiration and as our people
gather in prayer and service in the
houses of Worship let 1t be In a spirit
of rejoicing and OF loving trust that
all is we'll And may such recreations
as may be INDUCED IN upon this holy
day be such as will strengthen body.
mind and soul in the true service of
humanity and as little children in play
before loving Father.
In accordance with the proclamation
of the president, ], James H. Hawley,

Standing before an audience that
packed She local Church Of the Lat
ter Day Saints, speaking with re-
markable force for man who has
passed his I'D year, his voice ringing
with emotion and expressive of his
feelings, President Joseph Smith of
the Church Of the Latter Day Saints,
branded as untrue and false the charge
that the church of which he Is the
head attempts to dictate, influence or
dominate in politics, swinging its
membership from one party or one
candidate to another.
1t was President Smiths first visit
to Boise and while he took occasion
during his address to mix religious ut
terances with political. he asked the
pardon of his audience for touching
on the latter, declaring he had only
done so because there were those in
the audience not of the faith who had
come to hear the charge refuted.
President Scores Many.
President Smith did not hesitate to
inform his hearers that while the Nor
mon church is democratic institu-
ton, it is Republican in its proclivi-
ties, and said he did not want them
to forget that. He scored writers of
the press for penning columns and
volumes about the Norman church
and the Mormon religion which was
untrue and asserted they were the OBJ
jects of great pity for their ignorance
A thrust was given the Bull Moose
party and those of its followers who.
the speaker asserted, were buffeted
about by political winds, ana he de-
MED responsibility for placing Utah in
the Taft column. With all the force
at his command he defended the per-
conal charge Of tyrant that had been
hurled at him as head Of the church

Bishop Charles w. Nibley, an
apostle. preceded President Smith be-
fore the pulpit and spoke interest
ingly of the cause that binds Nor
mons together in their religion. He
opened the gates for an attack on the
charge of political influence by declar-
ing in the course of his remarks that
It was all tommy rot, humbug and
absurd and not worthy OF belief by
any man or woman of intelligence. He
told of how those In the church work
with the exception OF the men who
give their entire time to 1t, work with
out compensation and are called upor
to sacrifice. The bishop pointed Out
that Mormons were not only expected
to lead pure, clean, moral lives and
to obey the ten commandments, but
they are expected to sacrifice them

tabernacle choir when 1t went to New
York. They said in New York when
the choir was there that II 1t was the
choir Of Christian church, they would
have gone to hear II. Think OF that!
II It was the choir of a Christian church
they would have gone to hear it! Let
me say to you that there are no truer
Christians in the world than the Nor
mons. They believe in the Christ. the
resurrection. They believe In truth,
honesty, living true. moral lives. No
people or no class of people are truer
Christians. The scriptures say that
adultery shall be punished by death.
The Mormon church religion calls for
a husband to be true to his wife. for .
wife to be true to her husband. It
calls for love. for truth, for religion.

BREAKER STOPS
RUNAWAY PONY
AFTER WALKING ia MILES,
TAKES REST BY CAPTUR-

HILLSBOROUGH, Cal, April 81
Miss Eleanora Seares, the Boston
bachelor maid, who returned here
yesterday by motor from a cross
country walk of ia miles against
time, distinguished herself again by
stopping a runaway polo pony be-
fore a man in the crowd around
her could find his wits or cour-
age.
While Miss Seares was watching
polo match from the motor car of
Mrs. Frances Carolan, her hostess,
one of the spare ponies dashed
into the parked carriages and auto
mobiles surrounding the field. The
horses began to- rear and plunge
on all sides, but before a stampede
was fairly started, Miss Seares jump
ed from the automobile, seized the
frightened pony by the bride and
soon quieted him.

SNOW FALL IN
WHITE Pine co.
THIS MONTH

The heaviest snow fall and the
greatest amount of precipitation to
fall during the entire winter has
been in progress since an early
hour yesterday morning. Yesterday
afternoon the clouds lifted and the
accumulation of snow over the great
er part of the city soon became
mud and slush.
In the mountains the fall of snow
is said to have been very much
heavier. In many places south and
west of Ely, from which reports
have been received, the fall was
from ~ to Is inches, and the storm
seems to have been general through
out this section. which is gladstone
news to all stockmen, ranchers and
mining men in the county. For the
former it means an abundance of
good feed on the ranges for the
summer months; for the rancher it
means plenty of water with which to
conduct his irrigation, and for the
miner and. smelter it gives an as
surance of an abundant water sup
ply. which is the most necessary
adjunct in this section, to insure
the successful and profitable treat
ment of dres.-Ely Expositor

ANOTHER ARTESIAN WELL
IN THE CARSON VALLEY

Another splendid artesian flow
was added to the already long list
of self-howing wells in this valley,
when the Dake well-boring rig tap
ped an underground current last
week on the A. Dressler ranch, near
Genoa, says the Gardnerville Record
Courier The well is 565 feet deep
and is gushing twenty-five gallons
of water per minute.
J The well is located on the east
side of the river on tract of
land being reclaimed by Mr.. Dress
Ter A large portion Of this arid
tract has already been placed under
cultivation and irrigated by pump
ing plant which lifts the water from
the Carson river An electric plant,
operated by pipe line running
from Sierra canyon. furnishes power
for the pump.
There was time in this valley
when it was believed that each ad-
ditional artesian we'll would lessen
the flow of the wells already in
operation 1t was thought that one
|subterranean channel was the COM
mon source of all flows. This
proved wrong, however, since NO
well yet struck has had the slight
est effect on the flow of other wells
