INDIAN PAPOOSE IS
EATEN BY COYOTES

Coyotes Sinking away, licking
their blood-stained chops, and a
little bundle of torn garments
resting in the blood-bespattered
dust of the road six miles south
of town IN the Ida road, told the
story early yesterday morning OF
the fate of a little Indian baby.
A party of six Indians from the
neighborhood OF Ida came to
camp early Saturday night and in
some way procured whIskry.
After drinking heavily they stated
back to their camping ground.
The papoose was rolled up in their
wagon and little attention was o id
to the child.
AS they drove along. the after
wards remembered, many coyotes
were noticed, but they had been
drinking too much to pay attcn-
ZION. ABOUT seven miles out on
the road, however, one of the
mahalas noticed that the baby was
missing. They turned back and
after driving a mile heard the
snarliDg Of coyotes. The bucks
jumped out and the animals, Who
were unusually bold. tell back, and
sneaked away. A little searrh
revealed the fate of the papoose.
1t is supposed that the baby was
jolted out of the wagon. The
child had been eaten alive. The
indians came back to Goldfeld,
told their story and then drove
away stolidly.-Goldfeld.

FAIR PLAY

The other day We published an
item to the effect that l.. A.
6iaKeslee. the Southern Pacific
political manager. was putting up
a job to elect a legislature that
would repeal the anti-gamblinG
law. the employers liability law
and the primary election law. and
prevent any change in the present
divorce law.
The information came from a
source we deemed reliable. but this
morning we received a letter from
a prominent man in Reno, in
whom we have the greatest con-
fidenc, saying that Mr.. Blakeslee
was one of the srong supporters of
the anti-Rambing law, when it was
before the legislature, and that his
attitude has not changed on the
gambling law. His attitude on
the divorce law was not known to
the writer. but he was in doubt
as to whether or not MIR. Blakeslee
favored the repeal of the en-
ployers liability law.
The writer Of the letter is not
in sympathy with Mr.. Blakeslee's
political methods and writes
simply in the spirit Of fair play.
From his letter. ut appears that we
were misinformed in regard to Mr..
Blakeslee's political activities and
did him an injustice. 1t is not our
intention to misrepresent the acts
Of anyone or to wrongly charge
them with political or other
offenses.
IL our informant was wrong in
this matter, we wronqed Mr. lakcs-
lee by Its publication and tender
him an apology.

AMERICANS AND SOAP

There is a serious absence of
cake soap from the hotels on the
tourist belt Of west Scotland, and
nearly all of the soap supply is in
liquid or powder form A cores
pendent of the London Chronicle
reports that the spray and the
trickle were safeguards against
the Yankees. No American
tourists ht was told, ran see n hotel
cake of soap without putting il in
his pocket, provided he is unObscrv.
ed They are a splendid people to
deal with" said one of the hotel
keepers. "but unclaimed, portable
soap is their undoing"
THAT matter of soap is one of
the international %quarrels of
manners" observes the Chronicle
THE whitest American Is as dis
honest about q cake Of soap as the
blacklist of his compatriots is about
chickens He will steal anybody's
cake of sap.
And just across the channel
y find countries where you carry
your own soap and would as soon
think Of a public cake Of soap as
of n public toothbrush"

AMERICAN BEEF SOLD
CHEAPAR ABROAD

That the Beef Trust and other
trusts controlling our food supply
are enabled by the tariff wall, to
charge from 90 to 100 per cent
more to the New York consumer
than the prices that obtain in
London, is made plain from COM
parative figures obtained by the
democratic national committee.
The committee sent en- agent TO
London to purchase American
made goods for the tariff chamber
of horrors. He has sent to the
committee the prices of meats,
butter. eggs and sugar in retail
markets at London for a rertsin
date. On the same day. by pre-
arrangement. representatives of
the committee got prices for
similar articles in New York.
Abram |. Elkus. chairman of the
committee made the list public
Sunday.
The difference in price is partic-
ularly apparent in beef. The
London prices were obtained from
high class shops on Bedford street
and Tottenham court road. The
New York prices were averaged
from the figures of several
m"derate-priced butchers and
grocers.
"Our figures are absolutely I'M
answerable." declared Mr.. Elkus.
They prove how the high tariff
multcs US at every meal"
Congressman William c. Reufeld
the democratic tariff expert, in
commenting on the prices and ex-
planning them said:
THE cold facts concerning the
difference in the prices of food on
the same day in New York and
London ought to open the eyes OF
every working man: indeed, of
every consumer, but especially
those of modest means, to current
conditions. When a careful house.
wife goes to market in New York,
she pays "a cents per pound for the
same roast beef that her London
sister buys at l3 cents. II she
wishes to provide her husband
with a sirloin steak, she can only
do it by paying more Than double
the price al which on that day it is
sold in England. 1t is interesting
to note that on ham the difference
in price is almost exactly the
amount Of the duty with which we
tax that food of 4 cents a pound,
and that the cost of eggs is lower
in Great Britain by rather more
than the duty of 5 cents a dozen.
We impose also a duty on butter
and cheese of 6 cents per pound.
When will Il work ing people
lnaTn the error of taxing their
ordinary articles of food! 1t
would seem as if this exposition
taken under such striking con-
ditions and with such exact and
careful comparisons should destroy
once and for all the illusion of
prosperity rising from the tariff"

BIDS FOR SCHOOL
SOAR OUT OF SIGHT
All Submitted Prove Far Above
Appropriation for Building
at Keaiwa, Hawaii.

HILo, February 16-All the bids
for the school at Keaiwa are above the
appropriation set aside. The bids were
opened Wednesday by Chief Engineer
Bishop and by Secretary Jim Lewis
of the belt road commission. They are
as follows: c. A. Kanuha, 1880; C.
II. Will, $3.50; Bohnenberg and Erick-
son, $4100.
The appropriation, which is one OF
the items of the loan fund bill, is only
$4,000. This entire amount was, how,
ever, not available for construction, as
the fee of the architects as well as
other engineering expenses had to be
taken out of this sum.
OF course, the bids had to be thrown
out, one and all. The county will have
to pay for the plans, and the residents
of Wood Valley viii have to wait 6
while longer for their school.
