The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1913-10-10

Henry Spencer, arrested at Chicago
for the murder of dancing teacher,
has confessed to having committed
fourteen murders In the last 13 years.
The victims included bis own wife
aud nine other women. The fiend's
motive In each instance was robbery.
Spencer said he had been criminal
since boyhood and he accounted for
his immunity from trial for murder
by saying he would get apprehended
for some minor crime and serve a
short sentence 10 jail while the
"murder mystery was being shelyed
and forgotten.

Well.dellned program for securing
advantages for Idaho through federal
legislation. In brief this program
includes additional survey and classi-
ncatlon of untaxed lands, quicker
dispatch Of Idaho land cases before
the interior department and draining
OF the Kootenai valley.
Governor Haines believes that econ
omy begins at home, and he has
therefore set an example for other
state departments by effecting saw
ing 10 the expense Of conducting his
own office. During the quarter just
passed the governors Office operated
on $l72.79 less than the quarterly
allowance. The appropriation for
the governors Office expenses amounts
to $S76 per quarter. During the last
quarter only $703 81 has been ex.
pended. The expense for the same
period in 1911 was $809.OS.
Adjutant General L. V. Patch filed
with Governor Haines on Monday Of
last week his account of receipts. and
expenditures for the last quarter,
compared with the corresponding
quarter in 1911. 1t is of more than
ordinary interest. as it includes a
financial report on the recent encamp-
ment at Boise. The report shows
that after holding the most instruc.
tive camp in this state. the depart.
ment still has a credit of $39l. 30
over its proportionate allowance for
the first, second and third quarters
of 1918.
Officers of the Utah Power & Light
company do not propose to shoulder
the blame for the low valuation of
$200,l75 placed on the holdings of
the company in Idaho by the state
board Of equalization. They insist
that the report submitted by the
company to the state tax commission
shows property valued at 100000.
The $200,175, they insist, is the
valuation they placed in their report
on the transmission lines alone, and
did not cover machinery. power
houses, dams, real estate and other
property.
Notice of the designation of ap-
proximately 30s, ITO acres in Idaho as
open to entry under the enlarged
homestead act was received at the
Boise land office Saturday. II will
be open to entry under the enlarged
homestead act October %. Most of
the land SO designated lies in the
northern and western portions of
Canyon county. A considerable area
of it is in Washington county, some
of it located almost as far north as
Cambridge. Some of the acreage is
extremely valuable as dry farm land,
and the designation of it under the
enlarged homestead act will make it
particularly desirable for settlers.

OPENING PUBLIC LANDS
Proposed Law Leaves Methods to
the President.
The Tribune Bureau.
BY j. E. JONES

Washington, d. C.-The senate
took wllrl at the method OF dis
tributing lands opened to the
public, at recent session, and
treated the legislation as an emer
gency measure because Nebraska
forest reserve was due to be re-
stored to the public domain on the
first OF October. The scandal Of
the entry Of public lands, the long
waiting list of applicants in line,
the disappointments and expenses
inflicted upon those who could not
file, is familiar story in the west
and middle west, acting Secretary
OF the Interior Jones, Representa-
tive Ferris as chairman Of the
public lands committee in the
house, and Senator Myers of Mon
tana, took the initiative in prepar-
ing bill providing that the presi-
dent may prescribe the methods OF
disposing of public lands in the
future under the lottery system.
The measure which had p previously
passed the house became law.
Senator Walsh explained that the
measure is to become general law,
whereas heretofore relief has been
provided through special legisla-
tion in separate cases.
Senator Lane OF Oregon in dis
cussing land matters recently in
the senate, paid his re spects to the
officials OF the interior department,
and reminded the senate of it's
lapses in delegating to the depart
ments the manner of handling
public lands. He said the land
office was constantly changing its
own rules, and that congress was
"guilty nearly every day of dele
eating its authority to some execu-
tive department" the result being
a condition which compels the
austere senators, upo the receipt
OF their burdensome mail, to make
a search Of the latest rules to find
out "where they are at" In his
own case the Senator said, IL have
to hunt up some dep artluent here,
some third assistant or forty-eighth
assistant secretary to somebody
else, to find out what ruling he
made and what ruling the mar
who preceded him three erms. age
made in contradiction to 1T, ,,nti
It has become Jungle and MAJ
OF contradictory rules, and of mal
administration Of public affa irs."
The new chairman OF the Pro-
gressive congres sional campaign
committee, Mr.. Hinebaugh, oil
Illinois, has already encounte red
trouble because of the fact HAT
some OF the members of congre rs
who owe their policital existen' e
to the progressive movement are
buslly engaged throughout tn sir
districts in attempting to make
trades with the Republican or
ganizations in order that they may
thus avert the three .cornered con
tests. In three instances, Cople y
of Illinois, Chandler of New Yoek.
and Lafferty of Oregon, and il
some OF the cases of California
members, the congressman are
ready to use the Progressive party
for trading purposes, and are flirl-
ing with the Republican party in
practically the same way. Thus
at this early day it looks as if there
would be good deal of a mixup
at another election.

Praying water wheels in Tibet.

The folks who live in the mys-
FERROUS country of Tibet, in Central
Asia, are the most prayerful people
in the world. They pray, and pray
without ceasing. You retire at night,
you rise early in. the morning, but
long after you are asleep land long
before the sun has risen the voice of
prayer has filed the air. .-..
They pray everywhere, utilize
everything movable and immovable
to help in their devotions. The wind
waves their prayer flags in the air
and the streams revolve their cum
bersome prayer wheels such as those
shown in the illustration.
Entrances to villages are strewn
with countless paper prayers.
Streamers of prayers are hung from
tree to tree and from house to house.
Bridges are pasted with them. Rocks
and cliffs are chiseled with prayers.
Praying at leisure, the ordinary
spiritual Tibetan will get through.

push he can do much more.
In his praying wheels, with the aid
of a fairly rapid stream, he will &C
complish in very short time what
would perhaps be a burden to him
personally. Little strips of paper
bearing orthodox prayers are affixed
to the wheels, and at once they are
revolved again and again by the
grateful worshipers.
In the ordinary Tibetan village the
Buddhist priestly population may be
divided into three classes. First, the
lama Tor ordained priest) who has
made the long journey to Llassa and
there received ordination from the
Dalai-Lama. Second, the Draba, an
unordained priest who still lives in
hope of going to Llassa. And third,
the Amcho, private lama who has
neither desire nor opportunity of ever
seeing the sacred city.
Z The lama is a respectable member
of society, well housed and fed and
clad generally He spends his time
