new TIME CARD MEETS
WITH LOCAL DISFAVOR

The new train schedule of the
Short Line effective the first of
the month, is prabably a good thing
for the passenger traffic of the road
TO the northwest, but it materially
upsets local traffic, and there is
considerable objection to it. AS it
stands. there is no morning train
to Poatecllo, as the schedule Great
ing a through train of No. 1S. com
prehends that it shall not stop at
American Falls only for passengers
east OF Cheyenne and on flag signal
This leaves Nos. IA and Sc as
the only east bound trains for local
service, and they are late afternoon
and evening trains, so that while
the average business man could
make Pocatello on No. IA and re-
turn on No. II. he would likely
have to remain over night to finish
his affairs, and return on No. s.
or No. 13, the dav following. BY
lcutting off No. Is a bad handicap
has been given American Falls.

MAKE A BUSINESS OF MURDER
Old and Sickly Indians Alleged to
Have Been the Victims Of
Oklahoma Grafters.

Muskogee, Ok.-Old and sickly In
dians were chosen as the victims in
the poison plots to steal land from
the Choctaws. That fact has been
established by the government in the
investigation it already has made OF
the deaths of several fullbloods. The
first arrests as the result of the in.
vestigations were made at Hugo when
V. Bronough and Ed l.. Reed were
charged with conspiracy to poison
Ellis Wood, an old Choctaw fullblood.
The allotment of a Choctaw is 320
acres of the highest grade land, and
running from that on up to one thou
sand TO twelve hundred acres of a
poorer grade. That made a rich stake
10 play for.
Dr. j. H. Stolpher who about a year
ago was investigating the estates OF
Indian minors in several counties in
the Choctaw Nation, reported that he
had found many cases in which there
appeared to be evidence that old In
dians had been poisoned and their
land taken by grafters.

age by aEother washout.
A cloudburst had washed out more
than two hundred yards OF the track
of the Rock Island road near Levant,
the first station west of Colby. A
work train was made up at Norton
and section men were gathered up at
each station. AS the train was run
ming just west of Levant it ran into a
place where the ground had been
washed from the track The entire
train was derailed Four inches OF
rain fell at Levant within an hour.

pany is the only real obstacle to the
formation of shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start in
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma.
chimes, but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number of shoes he makes-an
average of less than 2-3 cents a pair
and let us keep them up to date.
That is fair arrangement. Some of
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fell
lows stand with us because they know
we treat all manufacturers alike no
matter how many machines they use.
If it were not for our methods of doing

BANKS TO PAY GOVERNMENT
TWO PER CENT INTEREST ON
DEPOSITS AFTER JUNE 1.
Secretary McAdoo Says Plan Will
Earn a Million Dollars Annually
-.Upsets Tradition.

Washington, D. C.-The fiscal sys
TEN of the United States governing
deposits of federal funds in national
banks was revolutionIzed by Secre
tary McAdoo of the Treasury Depart
ment with an announcement that all
government repositories, whether ac
tive or inactive, would be required to
pay interest at the rate of per cent
a year, beginning June /, upon de-
posits of the government.
simultaneously with this action, the
secretary authorized an immediate in.
crease of $10,000,000 in government
deposits in the national banks, max
ing the total $52,G49,964, from which
the federal treasury will earn, under
the new interest order, s1,053,000 an
nually.
Hitherto the Democrats have been
radically opposed to sending govern
ment funds to banks and last fall crit
icised the Republican administration
for such a plan. Now there are indi-
cations that Secretary McAdoo in
tends to release still more surplus
money from the treasury vaults and
place it in general circulation through
increased deposits with the national
banks. In a statement he said:
With the banks paying interest on
government deposits the secretary
may be justified in keeping larger bal
ances in the national banks, thereby
increasing the volume OF money in cir
culation and to that extent reducing
the amount locked up in the treasury"
This is the first time in history that
the Treasury Department has called
upon the banks to pay interest on
what are known as active deposits, or
accepted, except in period of financial
stress, securities other than govern
ment bonds.

a Livery Barn Destroyed by
Flames.

Kansas City, Mo.-Two men are
dead as the result of a fire which
broke out in one-story building oc-
cupied by the Hurry-Up Transfer
Company and which spread to the
Helping Hand annex, adjoining it, at
the southeast corner of Fourth and
Wyandotte streets. The two buildings
were a mass of flame almost before
the alarm was received at fire head
quarters.
The victims of the fire, Frederick
Watkins and a man supposed to be
Joseph Sanders, reached windows on
the second story of the annex over
looking West Fourth street Watkins
climbed from the window and lay for
some minutes upon a cornice just be-
low 1t. AS the fire spread firemen
and spectators cried to Watkins to
jump. A buggy was backed beneath
the window but still Watkins could
not be induced to leap from the cor
nice. Finally when smoke and flames
enveloped him he fell to the pave
ment, seriously burned from head to
foot Placed in a motor ambulance
hurried to the scene, he was taken
to the General hospital where he died
at 1920 o'clock at night.

ST. Louis, Mo.-While seated at q

cause of his act
Hoehn is 81 years old and painter.
His wife was 40 years old and had
been married before. She had sew
eral children by her first marriage,
and Hoehn told the police it was be-
cause of quarrels over the stepchil-
dren that they separated.
81 wanted to return to my wife and
forget the past" he said at the sta
ton. 81 went there for that purpose,
to plead with her to come back and
live with me. She met me at the door
and refused to have anything to do
with me-"
The diners had just seated them
selves at the table when the door was
thrown violently open and Hoehn
strobe into the room.
Well" he said, addressing his
wife, lis it all right now?" Mrs.
Hoehn, recovering from her surprise,
told him there was no use of resum-
ing their old argument and started to
sit down again.
Then take your medicine" he
shouted and fired at her. In his es-
cape Hoehn passed a soda factory
where the employees tried to capture
him by bombarding him with empty
bottles.

prosecution vigorously opposed the

several in which Indians were killed
by poisoned whisky after they had
been induced to deed their property
to land sharks who promised them a
