Fred Diggs, the Deer Flat rancher,
living five miles south of Nampa, who
last week was. evidently the intended
victim of Matchmaking scheme, re-
ceived second sumDnons Tuesday
night to come through with the
coin" Diggs and his neighbors have
been practically under arms for the
past week, but thus far they have been
unable 10 apprehend the supposed
blackmailL~s.
The first notice Diggs received was

Saturday, with skull and cross-bones
signature and to the effect that if he
did not leave one hundred dollars un-
der the bridge near his home, they
would get that black team of his"
The horses referred to are a valuable
span of black genldings owned by Mr..
Diggs.
Diggs and several neighbors have
been on the watch every night since
the FIRST notice was discovered but,
in spite of their vigilance, second
note was left on the granary door
Tuesday night calling attention to the
fact that the first demand has not
been needed, and that unless the mo-
ney demanded was Immediately forth
coming, Diggs could expect serious
consequences. Both notices were
printed in school-boy style-evidentlv
to leave no trace of the handwriting
of the culprits
Diggs has left his horses in an out
lying corral for several nights as A
bait for the blackmailers, while he
and his neighbors have been on guard
every night in the hope of appre-
hendipg the offenders. Thus far their
efforts in this line, even with the CO.
operation of the city and county Of

TOWN MARSHAL OF
SHELLEY MURDERED

LATE Hampton, village marshal Of
Shelley, VS. shot from his horse and
killed by Mexicans near the Bonnie
vile Bingham county line early Mon
day evening, and the body was dis
covered this morning by searchers.
The man had been shot through the
head and the body dragged to the
roadside and hidden in the weeds.
Three or four Mexicans (no one
seems to be exactly certain about the
number) entered the store of the Shell
ley Mercantile Company at Shelley
late yesterday afternoon, and while
being waiten on, one of the number
was seen to slip several articles of
clothing into a grip. The Mexicans
left the store hurriedly, getting into
a vehicle nearby and drove off rapidly
in the direction of Idaho Falls.
The alarm was given and the Off
Ger in question mounted his horse in
pursuit of the thieves. Nothing was
thought of the matter particularly for
several hours and then a searching
party discovered the officer murdered

EVENTS OF THE WEEK
IN IDAHO WITH THE
EDITORS COMMENT

Inc Reclamation Record publishes
a table comparing the area and DoDn-
latton OF the western states with the
countries OF Europe. According to
the hgures given in the table Idaho
mas an area of only 6o46 square miles
less than the combined area of Greece
Switzerland, Denmark and Holland
wnile the population of the former is
only S<9,o9f against>a combined popu-
latlon OF the four European countries
OF lo,IZ5,80o. Of course the density
OF population of this state will never
equal that of some of the European
countries-Denmark and Holland. for
instance. This state will never have
cities like Copenhagen or Amsterdam
thousands of square miles of Idaho
must always support a comparatively
sparce population. In spite of this
our possibilities should equal Switzer-
land. Switzerland has no seaports. is
mountainous, and its largest city, Cen
eva, has population of about $4,000
Cities of such size are easily imapin-
able in Idaho. Already Washington
to our west and Utah to our south has
each an inland city approaching the
population of Geneva. Comparing
Idaho with Switzerland we find the
Iodaner mas an area OF IS, SSS square
miles with a population of 325,5o4,
while the latter has an area of 1876
square miles and a population of g.
741,o7l. Switzerland's area is less
than 20 per cent of Idaho's while her
population is over II times as great.
The above figures and comparisons
simply indicate the possibilities of the
lated as Switzerland it would have
n nc "A
within its borders about 100000.
This may happen but it will be hun
dreds of years hence and we advise
no man to hold his land at figures
justified by the possibilities of the
state. He will hardly live to realize.
The figures do show that this state
can take care of all the immigration
of the west for number of years to
come and all the people who are like
ly to come to Idaho for three or four
hundred years.

THE COST OF WAR
TO GREAT BRITAIN

David Lloyd George, Chancellor of
the Exchequer in the House of Com
mons, Tuesday estimated that the cost
of one year for the war for his coun-
try would be G450,000,000 ($2,250,-
0000OO), the largest amount England
has ever spent on war, and more
than twice what was spent in the four
years conflict in South Africa.
To pay this enormous bill the gov
eminent had decided, he said to
raise loan of G350,000,000 ($1,750,-
100000, which would be issued at o5,
bear interest at the rate of 31a per
cent, and be redeemable at par March
/, 1923.

White is Making Good.


Idaho's new pure food and
K. White, is making very
little onise. He. in no wise COM
pares with Mr. James H. Wallis, his
predecessor, as an advertiser. In
spite of his reticense the press of the
state in one way or another has found
out what he is trying to do and how
he is doing it. The state press with
out exception thus far has expressed
its earnest approval of his aims and
methods. In the beginning it was
necessary to have at the head of the
bureau such man as James H. Wal
lis. The bureau was looked upon by
the public as a snug berth for de-
serving patriots who had served their
party long and we'll Mr.. Wallis saw
at once that he must have publicity
in order to show the people that his
bureau was worth while. He proceed
ed to get the publicity and by reason
of that publicity no one today SER
iously thinks of abandoning the state
commission of pure food, sanitation,
etc.
The public sentiment having been
created Mr.. Wallis has served his
purpose. We do not for one minute
disparage his efforts along other lines
because he was a good and energetic
official. The creation of public senti-
ment in favor of public office is no
mean job of itself. It's a mans job
and Commissioner Wallis handled it
like a man. The time has arrived for
a change. While Commissioner Wal
lis had the energy and ability to CON
tinue the good work of the office it is
we'll that he is out of the way.
Commissioner White was secretary
of the senate committee on manufac-
tuners. This was the committee of
which Senator Hepburn was chairman
and which passed the national pure
food law. Mr.. White naturally is
most familiar with this legislation. He
knows the law and its intent and pur-
pose Afterwards he served under
Commissioner Wallis and became
equally familiar with the letter, spirit
and operation of the pure food laws
of this state. We doubt that better
man for the position could be found
anywhere. AT any rate he shows ev-
ery indication of understanding his
business and he is going about that
business earnestly but quietly; ener-
getically but alphabetically. He
knows what should be done and the
difficulties of always doing it. In
consequence he is trying to accom-
plish the purposes of his office with
out offense, needless expense or dis
cord. We wish him continued sue
cess.
