w. E. Lyman and family made
an excursion trip into the Slim
Butte country last Sunday on a
pleasure trip and have many in
teresting things to relate rela
tive to the scenery and their eX-
periences. AT one place in the
buttes Mr.. LYMAN ran his Ford
car to the top of one of the
points and bad a grand view OF
the surrounding country. On
their return trip. while about
one mile west of the Perkins
county line. and about due west
of Bison. they observed one of
the most beautiful apple orchards
to be seen anywhere. with the
trees simply loaded down with
apples. Mr.. Lyman says there
are just hundreds of places all
over Perkins county that are
naturally just as favorable loca-
tions as this one, for orchard
cultivation. We are sorry to be
unable to furnish the name Of
this party, but promise to do so
at no late date.

Partner of Maury I. Diggs in
Reno Escapade Faces Five
Year Sentence.
FREED ON A $4,000 BOND
Californian Convicted on One Count
Charging Violation of the White
Slave Act.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept 6.-Farley
Drew Caminetti,. son of the United
States commissioner general of immi-
grafton, was found guilty late yester-
day on one count of the indictment
charging him with violation of the
Mann white slave traffic act.
The jury was out three hours and
took eight ballots. From the first the
vote stood ten to two for conviction
and finally the two recalcitrants
agreed to compromise by finding a
verdict of guilty on one of the four
counts charged.
Bail in the sum Of $4,000 was fur
nished by Frank Freeman of Willows,
Cal, and G. Bacigalupi of San Fran
cisco, and was ready to be filed with
the United States marshal when the
verdict was announced
Sentence will be pronounced next
Wednesday, the day set for sentencing
Maury 1. Diggs, Jointly indicted with
Caminetti and convicted on four
counts.
Exceptions to the charge of Judge
Van Fleet as whole and in part were
taken by counsel and a petition for
an appeal will be filed, as was an
nounced in the case of Diggs.
Caminetti took the verdict lightly:
smiling a forced smils and nudging
his brother jocularly.
His mother and wife showed no
emotion.
JOINTLY INDICTED WITH DaGGs.
Caminetti and Maury /. Diggs, for.
mer state architect of California, were
Jointly indicted on six counts and
Diggs was found guilty on four Of
them.
Because of the special circum-
stances surrounding Caminetti's part
in the flight from Sacramento, Cal, to
Reno, New, with Marsha Warrington
and Lola Norris the government elect
ed in the second trial to press only
four counts.
The first two counts charged that

ing the two young women from Sacra-
mento to Reno in interstate commerce
for the purpose of debauchery. One

two voucher records and two ledgers
were missing.
For two or three days, he said, he
had sought to find the volumes. but
had failed. RodenbeFger said ne was

A subpoena was issued yesterday
calling on Rodenberger to produce GER

Monday. This subpoena was issued at
the request Of States Attorney Webb
who recently called on the controller
for the delivery OF the municipal rec
ords, but was refused. These books.
II is said, are safe in the veults.
II was anticipated. however, that the
books now missing would be taken be-
fore a grand jury later, as they con-
tanned evidence Of fiscal transactions
in which there are alleged to have

Washington, D. c., Sept GA great
campaign to educate men and women
voters on civic questions is now being
organized in every equal suffrage state
by committees of the national council
Of women voters. Never before has
so thorough a campaign been inaugur-
ated TO give voters an unbiased view
Of public questions. Il is the first
time, too, that distinct body of vot-
ers has undertaken to educate the
entire voting population.
Members OF the organization will
start classes in the schools of their
districts and will hold sessions in the
afternoon and evening twice a week.
The courses viii be advertised and
an effort will be made to enroll as
many voters as possible for the lee
lures. The states will be asked to
pay the costs Of maintaining the
classes.
The National Council Of Women
Voters was organized at Tacoma,

ter the women of that state had won

tossed 1t after leaving Miss Landon
that morning.
The angry impotence which had
possessed him because the princess
whoever she was, had twice outwit-
ted him, was gone. He recalled how
seductive the fortune teller had APP
peared in the gloom of the tent. He
remembered how her surprised hand
had yielded moment to his clasp.
He patted the mask with a sudden
and half-ashamed tenderness.
A telegram came for Hendricks
next morning just as their picnic
party was starting for Big Beach.
Most of the young people had en-
parked; he was maneuvering for the
privilege Of conveying Millicent.
But the message had to be ans
wered, and so she went with Camp
