BEAVER RIVER COMPANY
PUSHING THEIR LINE

Monday Of last week thhe directors
of the Nampa Highway district
ganted the Beaver River line fran
chise to pass through the district on
their way to Caldwell the line having
no franchise in Nampa, going around
that city on their way here.
The company has a large force of
men engaged in setting the poles and
stringing wire. At. present the line
has been built some way this side of
Meridian from Boise, and it looks as
thought the company will at last make
an effort to reach this city before the
18th of January, when the time limit
on their franchise here expires.

Field mice in Boise Valley orchards
have become dangerous pest. B. F.
Hurst of Boise, one of the successful
fruit growers, according to the Nampa
Record, says the mice are not only
girdling trees but they burrow and
girdle the roots, thus killing the trees.
He says many young orchards are
likely to be ruined during the winter
if prompt action is not taken to head
off the ravages of the pests. The
remedy is not difficult to apply and
will clear the orchard rodents COM
pletely. It consists in flooding the
orchard thoroughly so that all bur-
rows will be filled up. One or two
good dogs with the irrigator, are of
great assistance in making a clean
sweep. Mr.. Hurst says heavy irrigat-
ing OF this time will not injurc the or
chard.

NuPT1AL Law PROPOSED
State Leads in Quantity % Well a.
Quality Of United States Senators
Barney O'Neil on Trial-Taxes now
Due-Excerpts From the Revenue
Law,

Notwithstanding the fact that Gov
ernor James H. Hawley had decided
to resign as governor of the state
in order that Lieut.-Gov. Sweetzer
might become governor and in turn
appoint Mr.. Hawley United States
senator to succeed the late Senator
Weldon b. Hepburn. at the last mo-
ment he decided this course was un-
wise. He therefore appointed Judge
X. I. Perky of Boise United States
senator. Governor Hawley has been
urged by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike to resign in order to be-
come a senator from this state. The
exact reason for the change OF heart
on the part of the governor has not
been made public, although it has
been intimated that modesty was
the chief reason. Friends Of Gov.
Hawley claim that he could do more
for the state In settling the various
land disputes with the federal gov
eminent as the governor OF the
state than as senator of the United
States in view of the fact that he
would serve In the senate only about
80 days. Among those who urged
the governor to pursue the course
he finally adopted was Mr.. Jesse
B. Hawley, son of the governor,
although the latter is staunch Re-
publican.
Senator Perky, for such he is,
his commission having already been
issued to him, and he having taken
the oath Of ONCE, Is a prominent
lawyer of Boise. He first sprung
into prominence as politician at
the Twin Falls convention some four
years ago. He belongs to what some
call the progressive wing of the
Democratic party. This wing has al
ways fought Former Senator Fred T..
Dubois, and finally ousted the latter
gentleman as the dominating figure
in the Democratic party of this state.
During the last four or five years
Senator Perky has taken an active
interest and prominent part in the
affairs Of his party. He Is said to
be an able lawyer and broad
minded man. Undoubtedly he will
do the best he can In the senate for
the state. Owing to the short time
In which he will have to serve, lit
tie can be expected.
Judge Perky was born in Ohio.
Wayne County, In 1867. When q
boy his parents moved to Wahoo,
Neb., where the future senator grew
to manhood and began the practice
OF his profession. He came to Idaho
In 1894 and located at Albion. He
was appointed q district Judge In
1901 and moved to Mountain Home.
He served only one term on the
bench, retiring at the end Of his
term to resume the practice of law,
locating at Boise.

During Initiation Into

NEAR DEATH TWO DAYS
Painted With Mixture of Gun Cotton

Abdomen-Sons of Prominent Boise
Families Implicated.

rible tragedies since the ASSESSING
ton Of Governor Steunenberg, came
to light this week, although the
strenuous endeavors of Bosses most
prominent citizens kept the voices
of the two daily papers of that city
hushed and quiet.
Two weeks ago tonight q party
OF Boise high school lads led q
Caldwell young man who is attend
Ing the Boise school to the residence
OF Mr.. Erb, near Boise, intending
to initiate him into high school
frat"
According to the meager details
that have leaked out, the boys con-
gregated~fn the barn and proceeded
to put Harold Kahn of this city
through some tests" that came very
near causing his death after the
most excruciating agony.
Young Kahn was stripped Of his
clothing by these young rufians,
and then subjected to the most alb
horrept indignities, which culminat-
ed In the painting of his abdomen
and lower limbs, back and front,
with mixture of gun-cotton and
ether-One of the most inflammable
substances known to science. When
this was done hot tallow from a
lighted candle was poured on his
person. The flame of the candle ig-
nited the inflammable boating which
covered young Kahn, and in fash
the boy was burned over the most
tender part of the human body
burned In a horrible manner. His
shrieks of the most intense agony
filled the night air, and one of the
boys, prominent as foot racer, ran
as he never ran before to procure
medical assistance.
Tossing in the throes of untold
torture, driven entirely out of his
mind by the excruciating agony of
the burns, young Kahn was with
great difnculty held by his COM
rades until DR.. Pittinger arrived at
the scene of the outrage.
DR.. Pittinger recognized the grav-
the latest treatment with the hope
of saving he lads life. Serious
burns over the lower abdomen are
danger of Inflammation Of the perl
toneum. The young man was taken
to st. Alphonsus hospital and for
oOAuO low u0yS tA0 M0OAC0A 0utuOIl-
ties Of the Capital City were fearful
that the lad would not be able to
recover, but slowly the sound con-
stituti0n of the young man won,
and today he is able to be about.
Two days after the awful expert
ence Of the boy, the parents were
notified and Mr.. Kahn at once went
up to Boise, bent on obtaining sum-
mary Justice. The authorities OF
the high school prevailed upon Mr..
Kahn to keep the matter quiet. as
surfing him that all the expense In
CURED would be borne by the boys
implicated - their parents being
among the most prominent business
and professional men of Boise. II
was pointed out to Mr.. Kahn that
II the papers Of Caldwell printed
the story, the Salt Lake and Port
land papers would blaxon the dis
graceful happening upon pages that
would receive attention from the
whole country, and that the school
would receive untoward criticism.
Mr.. Kahn finally agreed to help
maintain silence and endeavor to
keep the affair from the Caldwell
papers.
