President Wilson'S
Annual MESSAGE
BUSINESS WILL NOT BE EMBARRASSED
Does Not Get tiysteTcaI Over War Depends On
Citizen SOdeFy In Case Of Need

President Wilson in his annual
address to congress Tuesday
coupled with a defense Of the
country's military preparedness
a word Of assurance TO business
that it would not be embarrass-
cd by further legislation.
He said the trust and currency
legislative program of his ad-
ministration virtually had been
completed, leaving no conjecture
as to what was to follow, and that
there was a clear and firm road
ahead on which honest men might
travel with perfect confidence.
For passage at this session the
president urged measures to meet
the changed conditions due to the
European war, particularly the
government ship purchase bill. a
measure to unlock the resources
of the national domain and to
encourage improvement of navi-
gable waters for generation of
power, and a bill, already passed
by the house, to give larger
measure of larger self-govern-
ment TO the people of the Phil
ippines."
The salient points of Presid-
ent Wilson's message are:
Stoutly defends the country's
military preparedness and de-
clares attitude Of the government
would not be altered because
some amongst us are nervous
and evcited."
Points to clear and firm road
ahead on which honest men may
travel with perfect confidence to
business prosperity. Assures
against embarrassment by fur
ther legislation.
Urges measures to meet wal
conditions, particularly the gov
ernment ship purchase bill, open
ing of resources of the nationa
domain.
The Philippine bill, providing
larger freedom, he says, would
be "a noble crown to a record OF
two years of memorable labor.
Declares difficulties before rur.
lal credits measure make delay be-
yond this session imperative.
Proclaims the people Of thl
United States champions o
peace and concord" and opposes

Runaway Horse
Creates Excitement

Wednesday evening about six
O'Clock a horse belonging to A..
Mcmillan ran away breaking a
buggy to which it was hitched.
The horse had been left stand
ing in front of the Milwaukee
boarding house and the driver,
instead of tying the horse, mere
ly put the end of the hitchiDg
strap through a crack in the side
walk.
In moving about the horse
loosened the strap and started
eff making a circuit among the
houses near the boarding house.
The buggy collided with a
chicken coop overturning it and
then struck a telephone pole
cverturning the buggy and break
ing the shafts and clearing the

Members or the pardon board,

considered O'Neils case. He re-
piled that O'Neil wasn't eligible
TO parole, as he has not served
the minimum time Of his SEN

This will not make any differ
ence in the event of pardon. He
served about a year in the jails
Of Shoshone and KOotenai coun-

Alexander InheritS
Big Deficiency
Three Hundred Thousand To Be Paid
Deficit Has Been ACCUmulatine For Several Years
And Must Be Taken Care OF

Governor-elect Moses Alexand- r.
or will inherit deficit of $780, =
600 or more of floating indebt-
edness' in state finances when
he is inaugurated governor of the
state of Idaho Jan. 1, 1915, and
during his administration to wipe
il out a higher tax levy may be
required than would be required
otherwise. The fact, however.
that this startling large deficit,
representing a state debt, exists
is shown from the records of
the state auditor and the books
and accounts of Idaho. II is
due TO the failure Of former ad-
ministrations TO make a heavy
enough tax levy to pay the cur
rent expenses of administration
with the result that it has accum-
ulated from year TO year until it
appears TO have reached a sum
that must be contended with.
When James II. Hawley took
office as governor four years ago
he fell heir to small accumu-
lated floating indebtedness that
had been created by former ad-
ministrations. The legislature
fixed as the amount to be raised
by general tax for state purposes
100000. Under the Hawley ad-
ministration but S725,OOO of the
required amount was raised with
the result that an Indebtedness of
the difference between the two
sums was created, or 5000.
The following administration.
or The present one, was author
lied by the last legislature TO
evy an ad valorem tax for each
If the fiscal years of a sum not
to exceed Sf,OO0,OOO to meet gen
eral expenses Of the state for
each one of the two years, max
ing up the biennial period begin
ming the first Monday in January
1913, and ending The first Mon
lay i'm January, 1915.
When the state board of equal
zation made the levy on the 1913
assessment valuations for the
1914 or the present years taxes,
{ decided that 100000 would be
sufficient TO be raised under the
evy to meet state expenses. This
sum, however, is 100000 short
of the sum that really has been
required, or short 100000 the
total amount the legislature al
lowed to be raised.
With the deficiency carried
lover from the former admins
tration or close to Sl75,O0O plu.
the floating deficiency that ad.
ministration inherited plus tn,
100000 shortage under the max.
imum levy allowed by the legis-
lature to be raised by taxes thii
year, the state faces a total de
ficiency of 100000 or over, whicl
the Alexander administration will
either have to wipe out or will
have to carry along and pass {,
the next administration.

LumbeFmen See
Better Times Ahead

We have taken up the slack
and lost motions and are run
ming as smoothly as an automo-
bile. Now, gentlemen, let us Law
aside all gloomy forebodings and
talk business, not war"
This was the keynote of the
opening address Of the Western
forestry and Conservation as
sociaton, delivered Monday in
Tacoma by Judge A. l.. Flewell-
ing, president of the organiza-
tion, which represents one-third
OF the standing timber of the
United States.
THE end Of the year 1914
finds the world confronted with
brand new set of problems.r he
said, which tax the reasoning
powers of every thinking man to
the utmost.
We have the taxes the war and
the tariff-and The war, the tax
es and the tariff. It is difficult
to determine whether we are sur
fering from bullets or ballots.
THE lumber industry seems
harder hit than any other. Our
taxes are enormus and burden
some and this year we have
spent in the aggregate, through
the different agencies in the five
states, sums Of money so vast as
to be appalling. But when. in
sheer thought, we divide the cost
by the number of thousand feet
lof standing timber protected and
saved, we get new inspiration to
say 1t is cheap insurance and
we cannot afford to quit"

club was held Wednesday after
noon to listen to the report Of
the committee which is looking
after the securing of the box
factory and shingle mill for this
city.
Arrangements have progressed
so far that the committee was
able to. report definitely the
amount of money that would
have TO be raised by the citizens
in order TO obtain a suitable site
and secure the enterprise. This
amount is $f3i5. OF this SIO65
will go for the site and $3.50 to
MIR. Boyle for promoting the en-
terprise.
The site that mad been fixed
upon by the committee and Mr.
Boyle when he was first here was
the one on the river front on the
east side of Tenth street. This
property belongs to the Milwau-
kee Land company and is listed at
$2975. OF this price, however,
the company offers to donate all
but $iO5O.
When Mr.. Knight, the president
OF the company which proposes
to put the plant in here, was in
The city he had a proposition up
with Mr.. Shaw to purchase his
mill together with the tract of
land where it stands. This prop
osition contemplated the pur-
chase of the mill only by the COM
pany, the land to be purchased
by the city and turned over to
the company. The particular
tract Of land on which the mill
stands was preferred by the com
pany to the site at the foot of
Tenth street because of its ac-
cessability to the railroad. At
the meeting Wednesday Mr.. Shaw
agreed to take the site offered
by the Milwaukee Land company
in exchange for his site so that
this would only leave the ques-
tion of the mill and machinery
to be settled between Mr. Shaw and
the company.
Mr.. Shaw has offered to take
$500 for the building and the
machinery which is considered
very reasonable as the boiler and
engine alone are said to be
worth that amount.
The committee in making its
report said that the company
guaranteed to employ from twen-
ty-five, to fifty men all the year
around and that there would be
six or eight families at the least
that. would make this city their
permanent hOme.. The COM
pany also guaranteed to furnish
market for that class of tim
Der owned by the homesteaders
that is unstable to the other
mills.
The committee considered the
proposition a good one for the
city and one that the city could
not afford to turn down, especial
ly when the small amount OF
money that would be required to
secure it was considered. Those
present at the meeting were
heartily in favor of going ahead
and securing the plant. The
question of raising the necessary
roney was taken up to a consid-
cradle extent and it was thought
that there would be no difficulty
in securing it.
Mr.. Warner, of the milwaukee,
railroad, who has been active il
trying to secure the enterprise
for this city, upon learning th'
action Of the citizens of ST. Mar.
les, left at once for Seattle E,
take up the question with thu
Milwaukee Land company an,
that company will probably dea
directly with Mr.. Knights com
pany and Mr.. Shaw on the basi
suggested at the meeting.

TAKES HER OWN LIFE.
Mrs. Nita Parrot Clark Shoots Self
Three Times at Home in Country.

Florence, April 1.-Mrs. Nita Par
rott Clark, the young wife of Howard
Clark, we'll known young farmer
living about eight miles from the
city, shot herself through the tenn
pie yesterday afternoon at 6 O'Clock,
dying instantly. The cause assigned
for her act was domestic unhappi-
ness. Her mother-in-law was with
her Yesterday afternoon, however,
and said that she seemed quite cheer
full. Both young people are men,
bers of large and influential families,
the one in Darlington county and the
other in Florence county. Howard
Clark was the oldest son of the late
A. T. Clark, at one time a member of
the legislature from this county, and
prominent in many ways. They were
married little over year ago, but
Mrs. Clark had once at least return
ed to her father.
The climax seemed to have come
in a very unfortunate affair leading
to an arrest a few days ago.
The young woman fired the pistol
three times, whether all three times
at herself, with faltering aim, or for
some other purposes is not to be
learned, since she was in her room
alone at the time Her husband and
the negro hands on the place heard
the shots and ran in to find her dead.
Magistrate McClenaghan held the
inquest last night.

Marie Scott, a negro woman who

his heart, was taken out of the Wag-
oner county Jail early to-day and
hanged to a telephone pole. The
mob over-powered the jailer, threw
a rope over the woman's head and
dragged her out of the jail.
A knock at the jail door aroused
the sleeping jailer, alone in the Of
fee. A voice outside said an officer
was there with prisoners. The Jaller
opened the door and faced II re-
volvers. He was bound quickly and
his keys taken from him.
The mob pulled the screaming wo-
man from her cell, tied rope about
her neck and dragged her to tele-
phone pole. block from the jail. An
hour later the sheriff cut down the
dead body.
The county attorney has started an
investigation of the lynchlng.

lizers UP to date, according to figures
from the office of State Treasurer
S. T. Carter. The amount received
from this source up to this time last
year was s2O1,933.4O, and to the
corresponding date in 1911, one OF
the heaviest years, it was s224,-
543.36. The total received from the
fertilizer tax in. 1911, banner year
was s255,0S2.49, and as the receipts
from the tax are greater this year
to date than they were for 1911, it is

killing took place near Norway.
William Holman, the convict, was

EARLY EGGS BY
EARLY HOUSING

To encourage the early laying of
eggs, hens should be provided early
in the fall with comfortable quarters
1t takes time for pullets to become
accustomed to new surroundings At
first they are timid. Consequently
they are likely to huddle together
when person enters, especially at
night. Some of the hens are injur-
ed through overheating. To obviate
this, only few hens at time should
be put in each pen or house. Then
when these have become accustomed
to their surroundings others can be
brought in. The process may be re-
peated until all of ones hens have
been housed. By following this plan
great many colds and cases of roup
may be prevented, says A. C. Smith,
in charge of poultry at University
Farm, st. Paul.
Poultry houses must not be tightly
closed, even at night, for some time.
Moreover thorough cleanup should
precede the housing of ones hens.
Floor litter should all be removed,
with a portion of the earth, if the
floor is of earth. Nests, roosts, plat
forms, understands, hoppers and 9th
er fittings should be removed and al
lowed to sun. Houses and equipment
should then be thoroughly disinfected
with whitewash or some strong, reli-
able disinfectant With a new supply
of clean sand or gravel on the floor
and new nesting material, the house
will then be ready for the hens and
the gathering of egg profits for the
winter.
