When swe stop to ponder over this
large and profitable valley Of ours, and
take into consideration the large sums
Of money which is chlnging hands in
our valley at this particular time OF
year, it would be well for us to think
long and deep upon the subject TAX,
ing into consideration the fertile val
ley Of the slougish Snake and the un-
equalled climate OF sunny Idaho, why
should we not produce the products to
make this valley one Of the richest
and wealthiest valleys to be found
among our states. Owing to the fact
that the Idaho Utah Sugar Co. have
already placed four factories In our
valley, we are virtually led to see
that the industry of raising beets is
one Of our foremost and best agricul-
ture industries,
At Burley this year they have in
somewhere close to 5000 acres Of
beets for which the farmer will re-
ceive five dollars per ton, making the
amount Of money paidfor beets alone
in that particular part Of the valley
come close to $4,000. Besides this
we have a large force Of men to be
paid, thus making the circulation of
money run up into large figures. The
factory at Blackfoot this year will
make about three months run and
will in that time grind about 10000
tons of beets, making the circulation
Of money in this immediate section
when combined with that paid out tt
the factory men, large sum, thus
insuring the people OF prosperous
fall.
The factory at Idaho Falls will be
gin operations on the 4th Of the month
and expect to have five months
run, in which time they will grtnt
the $500 acres Of beets raised in tha
section.
At Sugar City the greatest tonnag
Of beets will be ground and the cam
paign will be of greater length
The three factories Of this immed!at
part of the valley will put into circu
z lation for both beets: and labor in t.
neighborhood of one and one half mi
lion dollars.
There has been more beets rass'
this year than in any past year
the history of beets in Idaho. Th
digging has commenced now and tn
bins are being filled SO as to furnis

Or. Mitchell Honored a. Few White
Men Ever Were-Ailowed to Look
Upon Remains Of Chief Contrary to
Time honored Tradition.

DR.. Mitchell made q professional vis-
it to Old Fort Hall Monday afternoon
to wait upon the wife Of Peter Jim,
an Indian girl who is the daughter OF
Oliver Teton, and to whom was born
a baby boy. DR.. Mitcehll also being
at one time a "Way-No-Po-Hog-In' or
in English, good Indian doctor, serv-
ing as government surgeon in the
Indian service, was permitted to view
the last remains Of the late Indian
chief, Wallace Green, who departed
for the happy hunting grounds last FIR.
day Under Indian tradition. no white
man is allowed to witness the funeral
services of an Indian chief, but being
"Way-No- Po-Hog-In" and q friend
Of many OF the Blackfoot Indians, DR..
Mitchell was treated to this rare &C.
casion. The funeral services, as we
would state it, were held not more
than a quarter of mile from Oliver
Teton's house. The Chief was placed
in small Wig Wam, a short sermon
was performed by Teton Bill and then
came the war whoops and dancing
around the small enclosure which held
the chief The body was next placed
upon what is called litter, built Of
two long poles and cross beams, re
sembling a pair Of stretchers, which
is carried by four white ponies. The
procession wound its way to the tor
of Fort Hall Hill and then as the SUI
slowly sank in the west, so did the
once big chief sink to his final resting
place and to his happy hunting grount
with all his feathers and war paints
for the occasion. The body being GOV
cred over with dirt and the final pre-
: parations laid, a fine large white hors
, of the Chiefs was led upon the gray
: and shot, enabling him to serve hi
= master still, upon the, happy huntin
s grounds. After this the funeral was
over and the long procession woun
its way lazely down the hill to the va
/, ley below and thence to the man
little wigwams among the hills.

MANAGER GROVE ENJOYED THE
NEWSBOYS DINNER AND HERE
Is A FEW OF THE GOOD THINGS
HE GAVE THEM.

That the average healthy boy can
overcome the amount of food con-
sumed by the ordinary grown man or
woman was conclusiyely manifested
yesterday afternoon at the banquet
given by The Capital Journal to the
newsboys.
Figures will not lie, according to
John b. Grove, manager Of the Hotel
Marion, where the big dinner was
held, and they are as follows;
Turkey, l2O pounds,
Cranberries (sauce) 4 gallons.
Potatoes (sweeN 2 bushels.
Mlnce pies, %.
Plum pudding, 80 pounds.
Ice cream, 5 gallons
In correction with this comparative
ly enormous amount Of food consumed
by the seyenty-flye lads at the dinner,
Manager Grove served quart after
Quart Of olives, pickles, peaches and
other fancy canned goods together
with tropical fruits of every descrlp-
tion.
in compiling the necessary items
for a modern banquet" said Mr..
Grove today, 81 would have made my
tentative plans no more complete and,
in fact, would have figured upon a les
ser supply than that required by the
newsboys. Those boys ate more than
! would have served to 100 grown peo-
pie and for a time 1t was doubtful If
we would be able to keep sufficient
turkey on hand for others"
Truly, Mr.. Grove did himself proud
lin serving his small guests yesterday
and proved himself worthy of the title
"One Jolly Good Fellow"

Moreland smiles when the inyestiga.
tlon which Attorney-General Crawford
mas started into the legality of the
hangings scheduled at the pen on Fri.
aay December l9 is mentioned The
Judge defines the term "reprieye" and
quotes statutes and opinions by the
armful to show that there is absolute
ly nothing irregular to stand in the
way Of the program being carried ont
as booked on that day,
Before looking into the matter the
encouragement made the ofr-hand
statement that it might be necessary
for all of the condemned men to be
sent back to the counties from which
they came and have new dates set for
their executions.
The encouragement has stated that
apparently the courts of Oregon and
Of other state have held that in cases
where the death penalty is not carried
out on the date originally set 1t is not
necessary for the court to re-sentence
the prisoners, but that It is necessary
for the court to set new dates for the
executions.
Attorney-General Crawford has also
expressed doubt as to the legality of
the governors action in naming the
day upon which the hanglngs shall
take place, believing this to be in the
province Of the judiciary. While the
constitution gives the governor power
to grant reprieves, combinations and
'pardons 1t does not state when re-
prieves shall terminate. Judge More
land, however, shows how 1t is unnec-
essary for the constitution to make
such a provision since the definition Of
q reprieve carries with it as a part Of
the repriyese the making Of certain
date on which the execution or other
penalty shall be inflicted.
in which the reprieve is defined, Judge
Moreland offers the following:
Quoting from the New York reports
q am of the opinion that in a case
like the present where the execution
of sentence is reprieved by the COVER
nor until a particular day it is the
duty of the sheriff to execute the
judgment of the court at that time, un-
less further respite has been granted
or the judgment annulIed in the mean
time"
"The governor under the constitu-
ton Is vested with the prerogatiye to
grant reprieves This is a power to
enlarge and extend the time fixed by
the court for the execution Of the sem
tence of death to a day certain in the
future. The right to execute the SEN
tence on that day inheres in the pow
or to fix the day to which the reprieye
shall extend"
