DRIVING CARRIERS
INTO BANKRUPTCY

Washington, April 7.-Senator
Brady is collecting convincing ar
ray of facts to substantiate his con-
tention that the United States gov
ernment is driving scores of star
route carriers in Idaho into bank
ruptcy because of the refusal of the
post Office department to increase
their pay in proportion to the in
creased service required since the
parcel post went into effect. While
Senator Brady believes the parcels
post is good thing and should be
encouraged, and is also convinced
that the service can and should be
self supporting, he vigorously pro
tests against a continuance of ths
injustice to carriers. and insists thai
every carrier should receive compen
sation which fully reimburses hin
for the cost of service performed
and allow a fair margin of prof
beyond. Reports made to Senate

SHERIFF HANSEN
OUSTED FROM OFFICE

The most important work that
came before the meeting of county
commissioners this week was the
hearing Of the charges which had
been preferred against Sheriff II
Hansen, and the trial Of the casa
lasted all day Tuesday. The Board
held its sessions In the new city hall
and u large number Of citizens were
present thruout the day TO hear the
testimony.
The charge against Mr.. Hansen
was that he obtained $50 from one
Clarence Holden for having recover.
ed for the latter a horse. saddle and
bride which had been stolen. The
testimony Of the prosecution was 70
the effect that the money had been
demanded before the service was
performed, while the defense sought
10 show that Holden had voluntarily
offered the money to anyone who
would recover the stolen property.
Mr.. Hansen. in his own behalf. tes-
tilted that he had accepted the nom
ey only after Holden pressed il ur-
gently upon him A. > token Of ap-
probation for the work done.
II. f. Christmas acted - attor.
ney for the sheriff and sought 10
show that no blame attached 10 Mr.
Hansen for accepting q gift from .
citizen, but Prosecuting Attorney
Ivan s. Jones took the matter from
a legal standpoint and read the law
TO the commissioners which strictly
forblds an officer from receiving
any such reward Or nay outside ol
what the Law provides. The com.
missioners held an adjourned session
at night and after lengthy consider
alton decided that charges against
Mr.. Hansen be sustained. The YER
dict was unanimous.
/ As the case now stands the sheriff
Is removed from Office unless he np

DESCRIBES BEAUTIES OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

largest vineyards in the world, 5000
acres of grapes in one stretch. The
vines grow in sandy soil and need no
irrigation. We visited the winery
here and saw the manufacture of
tAe grape from the vine until put
into barrels ready for the market.
There were $50 tubs or vats in this
building each containing from 700
to $4,000 gallons. The wine is run
thru hose into the vats.
Our stopping point on this trip
was Riverside. This is a beautiful
city sheltered among the foothills of
San Jacinto. This is the home of
the naval, or seedless, orange, which
is the favorite fruit in all markets.
We visited Mrs. Whinyates'
orange grove and helped ourselves
to all kinds of oranges. This is a
lovely orchard and the trees are
laden with the lucious fruit.
We took lunch at the famous
Glenwood Mission Inn. Everything
around it, inside and out, is on the
mission order. Heavy mission tim
bers and rafters covered with bells
and relics from the early centuries,
and its beautiful flower covered
courts makes it an ideal spot for
the tourist. We then took in the
beautiful Magnolia drive. This is
a boulevard Is miles in length, with
row of pepper trees thirty years
old in, the centre, with large palms
on either side, interlined with
oranges and flowers. This is known
as one of the most charming drives
in Southern California, and is the
home of many millionaires. |
touched the highest palm in the
world at this point. We also had
the pleasure of visiting the govern
ment Indian school here, which is a
wonderful institution.
Our next trip here was up Mt.
Rubidoux. This is a mountain 49,
900 feet high and is reached by au-
to on a winding road, until you find
yourself on top. Here you find a
huge cross erected by the early
missionary fathers. Mass is cele-
brated at this point every Easter
morning at 6 o'clock. ] am sending
you post card showing the cars
and people there at this time, which
will give an idea of the crowd thai
attends at this hour. On this triT
we were the guests of Mr.. johnson

Dear Mr.. Wright-When I left
Montpelier | promised / would

thought of Southern California. !
was afraid / would have to break
my promise, we have been so busy
sightseeing.
We have been for the past month
in Long Beach. This is a quiet,
beautiful resort and we have all en-
joyed the surf bathing very much.
have often wished some of my lit
tie school friends could have been
with me jumping the big waves of
the Pacific.
One morning about 8 o'clock we
heard the toot of an automobile,
which sounded like Uncle Jeff's
Oakland, and on looking out saw
our good friend Dune McLennan
waiting for us, with several other
of our Montpelier friends. | will
not attempt to describe the beaut-
iful scenery on this trip. ! picked
oranges, lemons, olives and dates
off the trees. We went thru one
of the large packing houses where
/ saw oranges, lemons and tamarinds
washed, sorted, wrapped and ready
for the market. There were about
65 ladies employed there wrapping
the fruit. l asked them how many
boxes they could pack in a day and
they said the average was 85 but
there were ladies that packed as
high as liz. They get Al cents per
box for packing.
This ride was 80 miles, taking in
IL cities, all boulevards, thru fields
of oranges, yellow poppies, purple
blossoms, white and pink roses. oh,
so many acres of flowers that the
earth seems carpeted with them.
Our next auto trip of 256 miles
on boulevards, took US thru Los
Angeles and Pasadena, which is
truly California's Paradise. Here
we visited the famous Busch Gar.
dens, which are marvellous. Took
a spin ON Orange Grove Avenue, the
home of more wealth that any other
street or avenue in the world
Thence to the ostrich farm, where
we saw ostriches from the baby
chick to the finished plume. These
are not very handsome birds but
managed to have my picture takeI
ON one. We then went on thru
some 20 other other little cities, on,
being Ontario, from which point W,
viewed "Old Baldy." This mountain
is 10000 feet high, and is coveret
with snow the year round. Thi
was surely a beautiful sight, wit
snow in the distance and beneath
fruits and flowers of every descrir
ton. The peach and apricot OF
chards are all in bloom. The wa
nut groves, of which there are acre
and acres, produce half the Englis
walnuts consumed in the Unite
States.
We also passed thru one of tn
