New Social Stunt at Boise

(Boise Statesman, Boise, Idaho,
April 5)-Boise society is never far
behind the social swim in innova-
tions, whether it be styles in dress
or in dancing. A forenight ago
the society chronicler described a
San Francisco social affair at which
colored wigs were worn. Last
Monday evening at the meeting OF
the midnight club held at the home
of Governor Haines, two prominent
society women appeared in colored
wigs to match their charming cos
tunes, creating no little sensation.
Mrs. S. D. Taylor, wife of the
former state auditor, wore a Nell
rose wig with gown of Nell rose
chiffon, with slippers, gloves and
stockings to match. Mrs. II. p.
Ustick, one of the society leaders
of the city, wore an emerald wig
with a green gown of the same
shade, fashioned from velvet and
chiffon, with emerald jewelry AND
slippers to match. Mr.. Taylor and
DR.. Ustick wore neckties to match
their wives wigs. The concensu'
of opinion of the guests was tina
the wigs were exceedingly becom
ing. Prizes at the club were VOL
by Miss Roberts and GovernoI
Haines.

should produce calf that at two
years of age will weigh 1900 or
1900 pounds which at the market
price of meat today would be worth
500. The straight beef cow will not
prove 30 profitable, 40 all that ID
obtained for keeping her and her
calf for one year Is the value OF
the calf. Three breeds of dual
purpose cows may be found in
America at present. These are the
Milking Short-horns, the Red Pol
lands and the Brown Swiss. The
one difficulty at present in raising
Milking Short-horns is in the
securing of suitable males, but
now these cattle can be imported
from England at reasonable prices
and such importations will be ex-
tensively made in the near future.
The conditions for the growing
of swine in this country is simply
unexcelled. The brood SOW may
be wintered cheaply on clover and
alfalfa hay, field roots and arti-
chokes. They can be pastured on
any one of dozen kinds of pasture
and 1 never before mentioned such
a large number of pasture for
swine. They can be cheaply
fattened on Canadian field peas
and small early maturing varieties
of corn which they may be allowed
to harvest in the field. 1t would
not cost more than three cents a
pound, live weight, to raise pork
in this way while today it sells for
8 and 9 cents in the Spokane mar
ket."

WILL RE-ORCANIzE The BAND
Old Members Call for Meeting Tuesday
Night at Kent's Offices

The Boomers Ferry band will be
re-organized at a meeting to be
held at Kent & Dore's offices on
Tuesday night, April IA. The
members of last year S organization
and all others who play any kind
of an instrument or who are inter
ested in the organization, are re-
quested to attend this meeting.
The band boys expect to secure
F. A. Davis, a recent arrival here,
as leader of the organization. Mr..
Davis is a cornet player and has
had quite little experience in
handling band organizations.
Judging from the success OF the
band last year and considering the
amount of new material here this
season Boomers Ferry should have
this summer one of the best organ
izations in the country.

SERIOUS CHARGE
AGAINST BAKER
esIburn Yousy Man Bound Over to
District Court for Trial on the
Charge Of Rape
SIX YEAR OLD GIRL IS VICTIM
Accused Il Alleged to Have Confessed
His Guilt to Authorities

Frank Baker, aged 20, waived
examination in probate court Mon
day morning and will face the
district court next week on the
serious charge of rape. The allie
ged victim of his assault is Cassie
Carter, aged six, the little daughter
of Ira F. Carter, a wellknown
rsncher living a mile west OF
Colburn. Baker lived with his
mother in a house in mill town at
Colburn. Mrs. Baker lived alone
with her son, her husband working
at Fernwood in Kootenai county.
She told the officers who investiga-
ted the case that Baker did little
or nothing for the support OF her
self and their son. Young Baker
is not considered overly bright and
his chief occupation has been to
keep himself in the woods, hunting
and rambling about.
When Cassie Carter got to school
Friday morning she told her teacher
that young Baker had accosted
her on the way on the lonely road
and had enticed her into the woods
upon the plea that he would show
her some rabbits. She recited the
details of the assault and that
evening after school the parents
were informed of the outrage.
Baker was taken into custody and
it is alleged, confessed to the
authorities that he had taken the
little girl into the woods and at
least attempted his foul purpose.
County Attorney Costello and
Sheriff Remer drove to the spot and
convinced themselves of the truth
of the child's story by finding
bootmarks in the woods which
tailed with the boots Baker was
wearing. With the bootmarks
were found the marks of the girl:
little shoes.

preliminary hearing before Judge
Wood Monday he confessed.

ton and election for the six year
term. 1t is pretty well understood
that this appointment will go
north, and it is not at all improb-
able that Mr.. Taylor might get the
appointment if he could secure the
unanimity of endorsement required.
However, there are others who
have different plans in reference to
the supreme judgeship, particular
ly as applied TO the judge to be
elected.
1t is understood that Senator
Borah favors the election of Guy H.
Martin, also of Standpoint. 1t is
reported that Mr.. Martin will not
care to lead the forlorn-hope of the
scattered remnants of the Progress
sive party in another campaign
A place might be found for him on
the supreme bench. Judges are to
be elected hereafter according to g
non partisan plan. No party car
make a nomination for supreme
| judge, therefore, all who seek the
place must run as n-partisans, OF
| in other words, as independents
Mr.. Martin might fare very wei
as a non-partisan candidate TO
supreme judge while as Progress
lsive candidate for any position b
would be doomed to certain de

POLITICIANS
WARMING UP
How Political Affairs Of State are
Taking Shape In Boise Looks
Good for Republicans
INTERESTING SCRAPS PROMISED
f'Dry" Forces Will Garry Weight In
Coming Campaign

Boise, April 9-(Special to the
HERALD The political situation in
Idaho continues to grow more
interesting every day. The names
most often mentioned, where men
discuss politics, are those of John
P. Vollmer, who has announced
himself as a candidate for the Pro-
gressive nomination for governor,
Geo. w. Perkins, the trust mag
nate and financial hacker of the
Bull Moose, and United States
Senator w. +. Borah. The
announcement that Mr.. Vollmer
desired to become the Progressive
nominee for governor caused quite
q furry in Boise. Mr.. Vollmer
visited the state capital about three
weeks ago with the avowed purpose
of sounding out his chances for the
Republican nomination for the
Office that he seeks. 1t is we'll
known fact that Mr.. Vollmer' s
candidacy received rather a. chilly
reception in Boise. He stated he
had the matter under consideration
when he took his departure for
his home in the north. Your cor
respondent talked with Mr.. Voll-
mer personally two hours before he
took his train for home, and up to
that time he appeared to have only
one object in view, and that was to
seek the Republican nomination.
1t caused much surprise therefore,
when his announcement appeared
that he was to try for the Progress
sive nomination. Mr.. Vollmer is
not regarded as a strong man pOlit.
ically in this part of the state
He is regarded as selfish, grasp
ing 6nancier, and is understood te
be very unpopular with his home
constituency.
Progrsssives Look for Man Of Wealth
That Mr.. Vollmer will prove
satisfactory to the Progressive
leaders is quite likely. They have
been looking for a man to fnanct
their campaign, and they seem Il
have found such person in Mr.
Vollmer. The Progressive leader
have apparently endeavored t.
peddle out their high honors TO
the filthy lucre necessary to con
duct their campaign. A. r. Cur
zen, it is said, was first solicited t
become the candidate for Unitet
States senator. Mr.. CruZen is
very wealthy man, but he has tn
reputation of being close listed
and preferred his money to doubt
full political honors. Then Ed. H
Dewey, millionaire railwa,
promoter was next approached
but turned the proposition down il
short order. A little later on. OH
own 7. J. Humbird was solicited t
become the candidate for Unite,
States senator. The promptnes
with which Mr.. Humbird turne
down the proposition will be re
called, but at last the leaders of tn
Progressive movement have foun
the man they were looking for i
John P. Vollmer. There is notf
ing in Mr.. Vollmer's life, profel
sions, or actions, that should Ell
dear him to the Progressive part,
and why his candidacy is deeme
desirable to the leaders of TIL
movement is easily inferred.

grasses, grains and fodder crops
can be grown than in any othei
part of the United States east O.

Big Alligator Bars Right-of-Way
of Automobile.

While DR. E T Kelley was enjoy
ing the smoker given at the Kella-
han Hotel Friday night he received
a phone message from Andrews to
come there as soon as possible to at
tend a patient. The Doctor left
Kingstree about II o'clock that
night in his twenty-five hundred
pound Hupmobile. When crossing
the swamp about nineteen miles
from Kingstree he saw lying across
the road ahead of him what he at
first supposed to be a big log.
Running his car closer to the OBJ
struction he discovered that it was a
monster alligator. He got out of
his car and, procuring fence rail,
attempted to urge the reptile out of
the road by mi.!istering several
heavy blows. This, however. did
not seem to disturb the old fellows
rest, so the doctor got back into bis
car and driving ahead full speed ran
his car upon the monster. Then.
with the front wheels of the car on
his back, the old gator began to rear
and squirm and below. rocking the
car about as if it were a light bug
gy. The car finally got over, but
one of the tires was badly torn.
DR. Kelley says that while using
the rail on the reptile it made a
swipe at him with its big tail, the
force of which created such swish
as the blow barely passed him that
he was afraid longer to apply the
rail. and decided to run over him
with his car. but being so large it
was hard to get the wheels over his
back.
DR. Kelley says he would have
driven around the old Saurian, but
its great length left no room for
passage on either side of the road.
After the car had passed over the
gator it moved on across the road
to wend its way into the vastness of
the swamp.
