ONtIL BEGINS SENTENCE
Brought to Boise With Four Other
Prisoners.

Not even when the steel gates of the
state penitentiary closed behind him,
not to open again for at least two
years, did b. f. O'Neil, former candi-
date for governor, now convicted
banker, lose his nerve. Still smiling
and cheerful, he faced the ordeal
when he arrived in the city Monday
night to commence serving his term.
With him came four other prisoners
on similar missions, and none exhibit
ed more fortitude than did ONeil, the
man who had lost the most in the way
of position. OF the lot, none was bet
ter in position to feel the disgrace
OF conviction than O'Neil, yet he seem
ed more carefree than any of the five.
ONeil arrived in the city at 9
o'clock, accompanied by the four 9TH
er prisoners, Dan Ackley, deputy
warden of the penitentiary was in
charge of the party Warden Shook,
with an automobile, met the men at
the station. They were taken imme-
dlately to the penitentiary.
Arriving there, O'Neil was at once
given complete change of clothing
and shown to cell. This morning he
Will be photographed in prison garb
and his Bertillion measurements TAX
en-. Immediately thereafter he will en-
ter on the routine of prison life Just
like any other prisoner.
O'Neil declined to see the newspa-
per men, though he was given a
chance to do so. He expressed de-
sire to get inside the prison walls and
commence convict life at once
Warden Shook has not yet decided
what line of work his banker-conyict
Will do just at the present time with
the harvest season over and the state
road work not yet started, there is a
lack of work for the men to do, and
many OF them are idle. O'Neil will be
shown no partiality, however, and if
there is work to be done he will help
do it. His sentence is from two to
five years. AS president of the de-
funct Bank of Commerce of Wallace
he was convicted Of making false re-
ports to the state bank examiner.
Several other charges were prefer
red against him and are now pend
ing. ONeil was convicted of the
charge on which he now comes to the
penitentiary some time ago, but his
case went to the supreme court and
ne has been for several months in the
kootenai county jail at Coeur d'Alene,
awaiting the outcome of it. What ac-
tlOn Will be taken on the other charges
made against him in connection with
the failure of the bank remains to be
seen.
ONell does not seem to have suffer-
ed from his confinement in the Koo-
tenai county jail. He appears to be in
good physical condition and does not
show the prison pallor-Statesman.

Walter Parish Holds Record for

POTATOES FROM TEN ACRES RE.

ing, Parlsl's Crop Brings
$2527.17.

Probably the best record of the po-
tato industry this year and one that
VIII stand for some time, was report
ed to the Times this week and con-
fined direct by the holder of the rec
ord, Walter Parish, one of the early
settlers in the Sucker Flat district.
Mr.. Parish, on ten acres, raised 3O9,-
500 pounds of marketable potatoes,
and 1856 pounds of culls or total
OF 321,S3O pounds. This would give
an average of 1854 bushels per acre
for the total and would give net
total OF marketable potatoes of 515.6
bushels.
Mr.. Parish sold the marketable po-
tatoes at eighty cents F. o. B. the cars,
getting check for $247972. The culls
sold for forty cents and brought SAT 46.
The whole crop therefore returned an
average of $252.71 per acre or good
big dividend on land which Mr.. Parish
purchased as an original entryman for
$3.50, including perpetual water
right
This yield on a single acre has been
beaten several times on this tract, but
for ten acres, receiving only ordinary
attention, Mr.. Parish's record will
stand for some time.

That over 100000 pounds of dried
peas raised in the Twin Falls and
Idaho Falls country have been shipped
out of Idaho this year to the eastern

travelling freight agents, who have
been looking after shipments for their
roads in that territory. They report
that the big seed houses in Michigan
and New York have been furnishing
seed to the ranches in that locality
and buying the crops raised by them
at good figure until the industry has
now been built up to an enormous one
and is one of the spokes in the wheel
of agricultural fame which is being
acquired by the Gem State as seed
producing commonwealth Of the west.
For the past several years the Long

the eastern market a large amount OF
timothy seed which is unexcelled and
every year heavier demand is being
made upon that section for ita seed

toes have been shipped from the

INSPECTOR WARNS
FRUIT GROWERS
Spraying Laws Will be Rgid|y
Enforced
FEW OFFENDERS WILL BE MADE
TO COMPLY WITH LAW.
Some Orchards Of Tract Have Pests
That Are Dangerous to All Fruit
Growers.

Inspector Brannan, in charge of the
Twin Falls district as fruit inspector
has been working energetically this
year to impress upon the fruit grow
ers and orchardists the need for thor
ough and constant care of the or
chards as safeguard against the for
mldable tree pests. In most cases the
orchards this year have been fairly
free from any of the more dangerous
tree diseases. A willingness has been
shown on the part of most all owners
to comply with the state laws regard
ing spraying and the destruction of
condemned trees. AS result the tract
had had splendid crop of fruit, the
greater part of which has been high
grade
With a few orchards, this, however,
is not the rule, and the spraying
which has been done was not effective,
the idea of the owners being to COM
ply with the letter OF the law rather
than the spirit The outcome of such
policy is shown this fall when in one
or two orchards they lost the largest
part of the yield through the devasta-
tions of the coddling moth, which di-
rectly attacks the fruit Inspector
Brannan stated to the Times that from
now on every violation of the laws
will be the subject of warning with
the second offense prosecuted to the
limit. He says that Twin Falls is
building up an envaible reputation this
year for its fruit and that no man has
the right to hurt the whole industry
by refusing to do the right thing re.
garding spraying laws.
