Alleged Bandit Freed at Dillon

Dillon, June 1.-William Ross, &C.
cused of holding up the Summit sa-
loon at Monidak in this county, in
June, 1911, was dismissed in the dis
trict court this morning by Judge
Poindexter. The states principal wit
ness, VIM. Gutchen, failed to appear.
He is known to be in Salt Lake. Judge
Poindexter, in dismissing Ross this
morning, stated his regret at not be-
ing able to compel Gutchen to come
to Dillon to testify, but, he said, tho
witness is outside the jurisdiction of
the court.
This is the proseic end of a SEN
sational case, which involved Ross as
the supposed accomplice Of Hugh Whit
ney, notorious Wyoming bandit. Ros
was captured after an exciting chase,
in which one man was killed. Clutch
en-, working as bartender in the
Summit saloon on the night of tho
robbery, positively identified Ross at
Salt Lake.

Little Memo Up-To-Date

Jim Burnett is carrying around a
scratched face. Not long since he
was down on the Rich ranch and with
other fellows, was running horses.
Now, Jimmie, when he gets all of
his regaila on, looks just like a real
COW puncher, despite the fact that he
hardly has te dust of hosting off him
yet. He ran horses and returned
home at night. Shortly after retiring
he let long howl out of him, spur
red himself on the hind leg and
awoke to find that it was only a
dream, and that his saddle was the
pillow, that the sage brush he scraped
his face on as the horse fell in a
dreamy badger hole, was a rocking
chair and when his brother-in-law.
Charley Bergman, told him he better
wake up and start over again little
Memo came out of his nightmare.

loans (the farmers of Germany and
France get their real estate loans at
per cent, why not ours?) and then
we would be obliged to buy state and
county bonds Of other states to keep
our money employed. No man should
aspire to state office, who is not pa
triotic enough to give the best there is
in him to promote the welfare of the
people he represents
Gentlemen, appeal to you and
every patriotic citizen of Idaho, to
bring our resources into action and the
time will come when the state of no
taxes, and cheap money, the Gem of
the Mountains, will be the most desir-
able place on earth to live.
I'VE will leave our posterity an in
heritance, which will stand second
only to tho Independence and free
dom left us by our forefathers.''

COULD ABOLISH STATE
TAKES IN lDAH(
Senator DAVE Makes Remarkable De-
claration to 6Snkers-WouId Create
/ a Fund To Bear Sig Income.

Weiser, June 5.-Senato- n. w.
Davis, president Of the First National
Bank Of American Falls, in an ad-
dress before the State Bankers asso-
citation, presented argument showing
that by proper disposition of the
states resources, q fund could be
created, the income from which would
make Idaho a nO-tax state fnasmuch
as that income would bear all public
expense Of every kind. His address
was listened to with marked attention
because Of the startling array Of figure
presented by him to establish III
claim.
After showing what has been done
In the American Falls section by rea-
son Of the development of the dry
farming industry and after detailing
the demand that exists for land, Sena-
tor Davis took up the real subject Of
his address. He said:
''Our government, municipal, count.
and state Is costing too much money
per capita. We need five million peo-
pie instead of few hundred thousand
that we now have. The way to get
these people Is to see that every citi-
zen is paying his full and just share
of the cost Of administration, but see
that that share is in keeping with
what he has. Our state will be great
in proportion to our law enforcement.
Give me community of satisfied peo-
pie and I will show you a community
of happy citizens, who will write to
their former friends and neighbors
about their new found home. A good
family letter from farmers to farmers
will bring better results than all the
fine illustrated literature that money
can buy.
81 feel confident that the tax COM
mission that has just recently been
appointed, will make recommendations
to the next legislature that will bring
about some rrelief to the farmers Of
this state. / also hope they will have
them ready to present to that body
for consideration at an early date, and
not wait till the closing days OF tho
session, as was the case with the
present revenue law, thereby making
proper consideration by tho legisla-
ture impossible. At this point want
to say that the most important ques-
ton to come before the people Of this
state is the application Of modern bust
ness methods to the handling of it's
resources.

We will now add to that amount the

Filipino POpulace.

Manila, Oct. 6. - Francis Burton
Harrison, of New York. the newly ap-
pointed governor general of the Phil

Traffic in the streets of the city was
brought to a standstill by the crowds.
Several of the welcoming delegations
were accompanied by bands.
Governor General Harrison, on land
ing, drove from the pier by round
about route to the luneta, where he de-
livered his inaugural address. This
address embodied instructions received
from President Wilson through Secre-
tary Garrison, stating broadly the ad-
ministrations policy toward the phil
! ippines.
The instructions declared that every
step would be taken with a view to
the ultimate independence of the is
lands. Also it was announced that
the first step to be taken at once, WI
be to give native citizens the majority
in the appointive commission and thus
in both branches of the Philippine leg,
islature.

and policy, | am in complete accord, .
said Governor General Harrison.
within the scope of my Office,
shall do my utmost to aid in the full
fllment of our promises and l am
confident we shall thereby hasten the
coming day of independence.
For ourselves, we confidently ex-
pect of you that dignity or bearing
and self-restraint which are the out
ward evidence of consciousness.
81 remind you that we are at pres
ent responsible before the world for
your welfare and progress. Until your
independence is complete we shall de-
mand unremitting recognition of our
sovereignty.
"You are on trial before an inter-
national tribunal, and We eagerly
await convincing proof that you are
capable of establishing a stable gov
ernment-not necessarily reproduc-
ton of our institutions, but enc which
will guarantee complete security for
life, liberty and property.
81 call upon every good citizen, ma
tive and foreign, for assistance and
support. We place within your reach
the instruments of redemption. The
door of opportunity stands open and
the event under providence, is in your
hands.
Manuel Quezon, Filipino delegate to
congress, translated the inaugural ad-
dress. Every reference to independ-
ence was greeted with applause. Gov
ernor General and Mrs. Harrison thel
held an informal reception and after
ward drove to the palace in the ST.
