CANADA SPRINGS SURPRISE
Harry X. Thaw Is Thrust Back Over
The Line.

COleDrOOk, N. Hilary X. ThaW
was arrested near Stewartstown Hol-
low, seven miles from Colebrook
Wednesday by the sheriff of Coos
county, after having driven for sever
al hours in car, whose occupants
ordered his driver to stop. One of the
occupants of the car proved to be a
sheriff.
Thaw's election from Canada began
with the breaking of window pane
Aroused from his tin the immigra-
ton detention room at Coaticook and
told he was to be taken across the
border at once, he flew into rage
picked up heavy glass tumbler, and
with all his might hurled it at the
head of the nearest immigration Off
Ger. The official lodged and the tum-
bier crashed through window. Five
minutes later Thaw was half carried,
half dragged down the stairs, forced
into an automobile, and whirled to-
ward Norton Mills, VT, nine miles
away. He protested throughout the
short trip, but his guards ignored him.
At 8:55 he was whisked past a gray
stone slab marking the boundary, and
like rabbit being released, was set
gently down on bit of open ground.
He whimpered in bewilderment, look
ing north, south, east and west as If
trying to decide which way to CO. Half
a dozen of the idlers stepped toward
him timidly, but none attempted to
lay hands on him.
For perhaps half a minute Thaw
stood there, his hat pulled over his
eyes, his hair awry, his face unshaven,
his clothes rumpled. Then. as there
was nothing else to do, he climbed in
to the automobile of newspaper cor
respondent and asked to be driven
away.
"Take me to the New Hampshire
line" he implored. Jerome has got
the attorney general of Vermont fixed.
In New Hampshire l believe l would
have fighting chance against extra
dition. Maybe we can reach a rail-
road somewhere, and l can buy a
through ticket to Detroit"
Talking incoherently of Detroit, his
lawyers, his mother and writs of ha-
beas corpus, he was driven east over
a winding road, a stones throw from
the boundary. At Averill, VT, five
miles on, the car stopped at small
summer hotel. Thaw had not break
tasted. He ordered bread and milk
and gulped it down when he tried to
get Montreal over the long distance
telephone to inform his Canadian
counsel and his mother of his predica-

FORTY CARS Of PRUNfS DAILY
Are Being Shipped from State Of Idaho
to Eeastern Market.

An average of 40 cars Of prunes
daily are being shipped from southern
Idaho points between Boise and Wei
ser, according to G. ]. Sinsel, who has
charge of the fruit shipments for the
Oregon Short Line for this territory.
He states that while yesterday there
was shortage of refrigerator cars, a
large consignment was received today,
and shipments continued without in
terruption. Mr. Sinsel believes that
a majority of the prunes shipped prior
to this week were shipped too green,
but from now on, he states, they will
be in good condition and be much bet
ter for sale on the market.
From reports received by him, the
demand for the famous Italian prunes
grown in Idaho, is becoming greater
every year and their value as food
is becoming appreciated to such an
extent that prunes sell over all other
fruits and within a few years he be-
lieves that the consumption will be
more than double what it is at present

PASSES
TARIFF MEASURE
lafoI|ette and Poindexter Vote
With Democrats
LOUISIANA SENATOR'S CAST VOTES
AGAINST THE BILL.
The Bill Will Now Go to Conference
With the HOuse-Will Become u
Law In Two Weeks.

Washington-The Democratic tariff
revision bill passed the senate at SAB
Tuesday afternoon by vote of "A to
81, amid burst of applause that
swept down from crowded galleries
and found it's echo on the crowded
floor of the senate. It's passage was
attended with surprise in the final mo-
ments of the voting, when Senator La
toilette, Republican, cast his vote
with the Democrats, and was joined
dexter, Progressive.
The Democrats had counted
throughout the long tariff fight upon
losing the votes of Senator Ransdell
and Thornton of Louisiana, Demo-
Gratis, who voted against the bill be-
cause 1t would put sugar on the free
list.
Until the names of Senators LaFol-
lette and Poindexter actually were
called, however, no one knew definite
ly the stand they would take, and
their votes were greeted with enthus-
iastic applause. President Wilson ex-
pressed tonight great qualification
over the end of the long struggle in
the senate. Senator Simmons, chair
lloll VI luc lluduCo COulnlluee, VINO
had piloted the bill through the fin
ance committee, the Democratic eau
GUS and the senate, predicted that it's
passage would bring immediate sti-
mula to the business of the country.
AS 1t passed the senate, the tariff
Dill represents an average reduction
of more than A per cent from the rates
of the original bill that passed the
house, and nearly % per cent from the
rates of existing laws. In many i'm
portant particulars the senate has
changed the bill that passed the
house; and conference committee of
the two houses will begin work We'd
nesday or Thursday to adjust these
differences. Leaders Of both houses
predict that the conference will con-
sumo less than two weeks time.
The senate endeavored to hasten the
bill on it's progress to the White House
by naming its members of the confer
ence as soon as the bill passed. Vice

Will NOT GIVE
BIBLE STUDY
New Course Will Not Be Added
to School Curriculum
STATE LAWS DO NOT GIVE BOARD
FREE ACTION.
School Trustees Meet Monday Night
and Rescind Former Action Estab.
fishing Bible Study in the Schools.

At meeting of the board of school
trustees, held Monday, August IL,
motion was passed providing for the
introduction of Bible study into the
schools, according to a plan worked
out by Superintendent Elliott and the
ministers of the city. According to
this plan the instruction was to be
given by the ministers themselves in
the various churches of the city, and
regular scholastic credit would be
allowed.
Convinced after a more careful
study of the provisions of the state
constitution on this point, that to add
such course to the curriculum would
be directly contrary to the law, the
school board, at a meeting held Mon
day night, rescinded it's former action.
The boards decision was made after
consulting a number of local attor-
neys, who united in the opinion that
in introducing the Bible into the
course of study, the board would be
exceeding their powers, and that it
would be possible for anyone so de-
string, to bring legal action and COM
pletely tie up all school funds.
The constitutional provision on this
subject, as contained in Section s,
Article 9, is as follows: "No sectarian
or religious tennets or doctrines shall
ever be taught in the public schools
No books, papers, tracts or docu-
ments Of political, sectarian, or
UNCONVENTIONAL character shall be
used or introduced in any schools un-
der the provisions of this article, nor
shall any teacher or any district re-
ceive any of the public school mon
eys in which the schools have not
been taught in accordance with the
provisions of this article"
AS the supreme court of Idaho has
never been called upon to construe
this section of the constitution, it is
likely that the school board would be
willing to enter into friendly suit to
settle the matter once and for all,
provided that such an action would
not involve the board in any expense
No other business Of importance was
transacted at Mondays meeting, ex-
cept the organization of the new
board. DR.. w. H. Wilson was chosen
president, and G. f. Bryant was made
secretary.

MERGER OF COMPANIES
Beaver River Company Will be Merged
With Idaho Light T. Power Co.

From present indications the Beaver
river Power company, which is
concern engineered by L. L. Nunn's
interests, is to do little merging
and this company will be superseded
in Idaho by the Idaho Light and Pow.
er company, according to an ordinance
that was introduced before the Boise
+, city council Saturday last, transfer
ring the Boise franchise to the new
combination.
The Beaver River company recent
! ly secured a franchise in Pocatello
and many other towns of the state
and doubtless the same action will fol-
low in each instance
1t is claimed that the Idaho Light
and Power company will in reality be
the Beaver River company To it
will be transferred all the franchises
and physical property of the Beaver
River company in Idaho.
Jess B. Hawley, attorney for the
Beaver River company, says the Bea-
yer River company has found that it
will be more convenient for it to do
business in Idaho as company sepa-
rate from the one that carries on the
Beaver River business in Utah.
AS an example of the present in
convenience, he cited the filing of re-
ports to the Idaho public utilities
commission. He said the company
must now file reports to the Idaho
commission of both its Utah and its
Idaho business.
The Idaho Power and Light com
pany will not represent any new cap
ital, but merely change in name and
organization, and the stockholders OF
the Beaver River company will receive
Idaho Power stock in exchange fol
that part of their Beaver River stock
now representing Idaho investments
The ordinance transferring the
Boise franchise of the Beaver Rivel
company to the Idaho Power concerl
will take its regular course. Th'
Idaho Power and Light company as
sumes all obligations undertaken b,
the Beaver River company when 1t as
sumed. the Boise franchise. APocatell

GOOD YEAR FOR IDAHO
Salt Lake Man Well Pleased With
Crop Outlook.

The following letter, written by Geo.
L. OdelI. general manager of the Con-
solidated Wagon & Machine company,
VINO has just returned from the Bur-
ley, Twin Falls and Salmon river coun-
try In southeastern Idaho, tells of the
prosperous conditions he found there.
Mr.. Odell finds that two railroads are
looking toward that region, with the
idea OF connecting it up with the
Southern Pacific and Western Pacific,
respectively. Mr.. Odell says, in part:
MY trip this time caused me to Wis
1t Burley, Twin Falls, Amsterdam,
Holl1ster, Rogerson and ranch coun-
try, south, going as far as twenty
miles south of the Idaho line to Con-
tact, New, and it is good enough
ground good going all the way Con-
tact is about forty-nine or fifty miles
south of Metropolis and between Me-
tropolis and Wells and Twin Falls; the
distance is perhaps less than 120
miles, and | suppose the contemplat-
ed railroads will cut that somewhat
shorter. Surveying parties are in the
field and you can hear more talk to
the square inch about the Oregon
Short Line and Western Pacific build
ing roads into the points named than
on any other subject, and l am firmly
of the opinion that within few years,
possibly two or three, we shall have
a practical demonstration of railroad
Facilities between the Southern Paci-
fic at Wells and the Minidoka & South
western. The tonnage cannot help but
be great, if only viewed from an agri-
cultural standpoint, but in addition to
this there are many mining properties.
II talked to large number of farm
ers and merchants doing business in
that country and my opinion, based on
information received is that the
crops this year will average % per
cent more than in 1912, and the cry
seems to be: What are the railroads
going to do with regard to furnishing
cars so that we can sell and move
our stuff?' The harvest of small grain
is practically ended on the Minidoka
& Southwestern. Potatoes and peas
are being given attention and the crop
is somewhat abnormal. | think one
of the prettiest sights that I ever seen
was the large fields of sweet peas in
bloom, the same being raised for the
seed, as I understand it, sold to east
ern markets. The beet crop so far as
observation goes, cannot be excelled.
and | am told that it is the best ever"
