Injured in a drunken brawl at
Deary Saturday night a man whoes
name has not yet been learned by
the county officials is said to be
struggling between life and death
while County Attorney Nisbet and
Deputy Sheriff Pat Malone are max
ing investigation in matters. The
only report of the affair which has
been received here came to Attorney
Nisbet Sunday morning in which onl.
a meagre relation of the death was
given. 1t appears that at a public
sale near Deary Saturday considerable
liquor was imbibed and some of those
who partook in the beverages return
ed to Deary intoxicated. A brawl fol-
lowed in which one of the participants
received a blow on the head with a
bucket and was afterwards badly
beaten by his assailant.
The sheriff's office expects Deputy

Idaho

Under the above head, Judge
Goodwin of Salt Lake, one of the
best friends the Gem State has
outside her borders, pays the follow
ing compliment to her in his splen-
did newspaper, Goodwin's Weekly.
Our neighbors in Idaho are dis
putting with Utah as to the measure
of progress. And they have a
reason for it, for Idaho is swiftly be-
coming one great garden. Her
claim is that she has more agricultu-
raj la ! and more water to irrigate
that land with than any other state
in the great basin, and that she is
putting that land under cultivation
faster than any other state. And
she is right. And what she pro-
duces is perfect. 1t is true that in
a very few years she will have more
land under tlllage than either the
great states of New York or Pen
nsylvania; She will raise more and
better fruit than any eastern state,
and her mines will supply enough
gold and silver to keep perfectly re-
inforced her currency. She will
sell her products for home currency.
She will sell her products at home
for home money, in that way her
crops will be converted into imper-
ishable treas ure.
She is keeping her schools at the
highest efficiency, her climate
makes the state a great sanitarium
which insures as healthy a race of
men and women and children as
bless the earth. And they are a
clear Drained, level headed, patriotic
set of people. Why should not
Idaho hail the future joyously and
with exultant hearts turn from the
triumphs of the past to the expected
triumphs of future years.

Swat the Thistle

Thistles, of different varieties,
are getting a foot hold in parts of
the Pacific northwest, and appear to
be growing without much restraint.
This is a mistake; they are danger
Gus weed pest, and will in time be-
come very troublesome. Large
patches of bull thistles are frequent
ly seen growing by the road side,
and eaven in pastures, and, as they
are permitted to 60 to seed, will
spread rapidly and become a men
ace. They should be cut close to
the ground before seeding, and if
necessary, cut several times a year.
This is practically true of the Canada
thistle, which is known in many
parts of the country as one, of the
worst of plant pests.
The Canada thistle may be dis
tinguished from other thistles by its
tendency to grow in patches, its
small heads, and the production of
pollen ard seed in separate heads.
1t spreads rapidly by underground
root stocks as we'll as by seed. 1t
is this character that makes it per-
nicious.

FARMERS ASK FOR ROAD
Would Construct Across Ce-
dar Creek Canyon

Lewiston, Ida. Oct., 14-Farmers
of the Southwick section of Nez Per-
ce county and Gold Hill section of
Latah county desire the construction
of road across Cedar creek CANYON
which will shorten the road between
the two localities several miles.
The cutoff will be about three miles
in length, while the present distance
around the canyon is 10 or IL miles.
1t is estimated that one and one-half
miles of new road will have to be
built, as the approaches to the pro-
posed canyon route require but little
work. AS the canyon is on the
county line, it is proposed to have
the new construction done by the
two counties, and a petition similar
to that presented to the Latah
county board yesterday will be filed
with the Latah county commission
ers. In behalf of the petition
presented to the Nez Perce COM
missioners convened yesterday, Gus
lehman and Charles Letenmeier ap-
peared. The board gave the petit
on favorable consideration. and
viewers will be appointed to examine
and make report on the subject.
The Nez Perce commissioners
convened yesterday and will be in
session during the week.

Horses $225.OO Each

The talk is afloat in this country
that horses are decreasing in value.
1t is true if you are talking about
plugs, but if you are talking about
good horses it is not so. Last week
a horse buyer for the Potlatch lumber
company, purchased ten head on
the Big Potlatch that he paid an
average of $225 each. This goes to
show that the horse raiser will be
repaid for his labor if he produces
the right kind of stock.

LARKIN CAUSES RIOT
 AT LUNDON MEETING
LABOR LEADER AND EX-CONVICT GETS WARM RECEPTION AT
 ALBERT HALL.

London Nov. 19.-The first appear ance as an orator in London of Jas. Larkin, head of the transport work CTS union of Dublin, or King Larkin" as he is now dubbed by his adherents here, led to wild scenes of disorder at Albert Hall tonight, where several thousands had gathered to hear him.
 When Larkin was liberated a week ago from Mount Joy prison. where he was serving a seven months term for sedition, he announced that he was going to England to raise the fiery cross and predicting a general strike throughout Great Britain. A large body of students from the colleges connected with London University made an organized attemp. to break up the meeting and fierce rioting both outside and inside the hall followed. A large force of police was called and free fights resulted
 Many persons were injured before the meeting was able to proceed, for the students successfully stormed the entrance and gained admission to the hall There further fighting took place and sticks and umbrellas were freely used. Fire works were let off amid scenes of pandemonium and for time there was danger of a panic The organist continued play ing, however, and the audience began singing socialist songs, to which the students responded by singing God Save the King" and Rule Britannia. ''
 When order was partially restored Larkin went on with his speech, which was mainly devoted to a denunciation of the government in connection with | the Dublin strike

 After the religious services conduct sd by the Bishop, the holy sacrament was administered to quite a large delegation. After religious services conducted by the Bishop and the sac rament had been administered he de- livered quite strong and fatherly lecture to the conference He said that since his administration in the state of Arkansas there had been bought and paid for three hundred acres of land at Pine Bluff, Ark, upon which the Arkansas Industrial Col lege is to be erected. He also said that a pavilion had been bull. on the grounds and it was almost paid for. He said that he had been placed in the wrong light by many in regards to Haygood Seminary at Washington, Ark. He said it never was his pur- pose to inure Haygood Seminary, hut that he was doing all in his power to aid that school along financial lines. The three hundred acres of land bought at Pine Bluff cost the church in Arkansas $6,5O0.
 The lecture of the Bishop was very impressive and met the approval of the whole conference. 1t is the sen timent of the ministers of the con ference in the state of Arkansas that Bishop Cottrell be returned to the state for the next four years, that tne plans of the fostering of the educa- tional work at Pine Bluff, Ark may be more thoroughly perfected The following were elected in the organi- zation Rev.

J. Cobb, of Jack. son, Tenn, editor of the Christian In dex, was also introduced to the con ference In reviewing his work he commended the Bishop in regard to the stand he took toward the Ind sx, and thanked the conference for it's support
