County DiviSiOniStS
Hold Meeting

A meeting was held Monday ev-
ening to plan the county division
campaign.
The two matters now before
the county division committee is
to get out as large an advisory
vote as possible in favor of Ben
wah county division and to see
that men are elected to the legis-
lature that are heartily in favor
of division.
The manner of conducting the
campaign for the advisory vote
was discussed at length and
many suggestions made. 1t was
finally decided to name a commit
tee who should formulate the ar
guments in favor Of the new
county and should have a proof
of them ready to submit to an
other meeting which will be held
Wednesday evening, Oct. 7th.
Prof. Buck and Attorneys Keeton
and Taylor were made such com
mittee.
The question of finance was
discussed and a number of plans
suggested for raising the neces-
sary funds to carry on the cam

these men were positively iden-
titled by a teamster at work on

of The building shortly before
il was broken into.
The suspects were placed in
ial and the district attorney
communicated with. In order
to hcep the men apart two of
them, Roy Racey and Casey
O'Keefe, were placed in the old
'ail while the other two were
shut up in the new Jail. Some
time Saturday night Racey anu
O'Keefe succeeded in cutting
their way out of the old Jail and
made their escape. Night Of
hcer Steele saw them while they
were getting out of Jail but was
too far away to stop them and
fhe last seen of them they were
going down the track towards
Plummer. 1t is thought that
the men used the leg from the
stove TO dig their way out and
they must have been at work the
greater part of Saturday. The
walls of the jail are made of 2x4
planks nailed on top Of each
other and these were Clipped out
and the chips put in the stove.
One of the men was in a cell ard
and a hole was cut through the
wall to let him reach the main
part of the building. The men
were given their supper shortly
after five o'clock Saturday after
noon and at that time nothing
suspicious was noticed about the
.ail but from the fact that the
chips we're found in the stove il
is thought that a large part oi
the work had been done before
that time.

meeting and banquet Saturday
evening was a success in every
particular. The ladies of the
Methodist church had prepared a
most excellent banquet for the
occasion which was very much
enjoyed.
C. b. Moon acted as toast
master and introduced Judge
Forney, the guest of honor, who
made the principal address of
the evening.
Judge Forney of Moscow is
one Of the democratic candidates
for Congress, the only one from
north Idaho. He is thoroughly
III acc rd with the principles of
democracy as exempliiied by
President Wilson and his Cabi-
net and firmly believes hat Mr..
Wilson embodies the genius of
Washington, the craftsmanship
Li Jefferson and the demOcrali,
simplicity of Lincoln. He thinks
he greatest achievement of Mr.
Wilson's administration is rot
the Tariff bill, the Currency l'l.
or the Trust bills, but rather The
;,~cat fact that he has impressed
uCcn Congress and this nation
that the will of the people care
fully considered and intelligently
expressed must be enacted into
law. He said: in speaking along
this line:
Indeed, the success or the
failure of all laws in a Common
wealth like ours hinges upon the
correct Interpretation of the peO-
ple's will on the part Of those
who make the laws, for what we
rather grandilOquently term The
majesty of the law is not con-
tered upon laws by those who
make them nor by those who eX-
ecute them, but by the mass OF
the people, who accept them, ap-
prove them and ratify them. IN
fact, if the mass of the people,
whose collective wisdom is SUI
perior to the wisdom of any leg
islative body conceivable, would
take as determined an attitude
toward the laws of the land be-
fore they are enacted as it does
towards the laws of the land al
ter they are enacted, many of
the troubles from which our Re-
public is today suffering would
be eliminated"
He further said :"There seems
to be but one issue before the
voters at the ensuing election,
and that is, shall Mr.. Wilson DC
upheld in the great work which
he has inaugurated; and will the
voters sanction our President Ia
guaranteeing the freedom of tie
financial and commercial inter
ests of our country from the pos
sibility of the rule of a small
group of men, some times un-
known, and some times too wei
known? In fact, will the voters
stand back of Mr.. Wilson fol

PRISON HOGS SAVE
STATE MUCH MONEY
Standard of Dairy Has Been Increased
by Elimination of Poor Mixers
Heifers to Be Added.

One of the industries being advanced
at the Oregon state prison, and which
is proving a money maker, is the hog
industry Muc1 non-productive land
has of late been cleared or drained
and placed under cultivation. This
added acreage has made possible a
great increase in the number of hogs
kept at the institution and with q re
suit that beginning with June the
prison hog yards will not only furnish
the prison its supply of pork, but it is
estimated that the surplus, if sold, will
be sufficient to purchase all beef and
mutton needed for the institution.
The standard of the dairy herd has
been increased through increased mum
bers and the gradual elimination of
poor mixers, with the result that the
institution now has an adequate milk
and butter supply. A fine lot of young
hefers and calves saved will add fur.
ther to the herd and make it a revenue
producer for the institution.

WOODLESS SWAMP Is

Nearest Human Habitation Is 600
Miles Distant and Sun Shines Only
Few Hours Per Day.

London, May ia frightful pie
ture of conditions in the latest terri
tory to be added to the Russian en-
pire s exile area was received here to-
day from st. Petersburg correspondent
of the United Press.
On account of the increasing number
of political deportatiOns from Europ-
can Russia the old places of exile have
proved inadequate and the government
has added to the list Russkoe Ustye, on
tne river Indguirka, in latitude II
north, about 80 miles from the Arctic
ocean.
A few miserable huts have been pro-
vided at the point chosen for the ex-
lies. 1t is surrounded by woodless,
unproduetive swamp. The nearest hui
man habitation is at the miserable vii
laage of st-yaIsk, about 600 miles
distant. Ust-yansk is a shelter post of
men engaged in the liquor transport
service.
Even here everything is left to
chance. If opportunity offers mails
are delivered there. Often, however,
the place is isolated for months at a
time. Winter lasts nine months. Dur
ing its depths the sun shines only an
hour or two a day.
In the summer, when the roads from
the south become Iassable, caravans
bring supplies of vodka which the trad
ers barter for valuable furs. A period
of general drunkenness invariably fol

away the fruit of vheir year s work.

THE SIN IN THE NEWS.

R. WASHINGTON GLADDEN. is the latest to COM
pain that in collecting and presenting current
events it is too largely the habit OF the newspaper
a. to fix attention on the evils of the day. to keep the
seamy side of life uppermost and to exploit Che cr'
vice and scandal. . , =, - ;L1o
Doubtless because Dr. GLADDEN. is both more ama6le
and more esmable than the common run oil mortaS, ne
prefaces this ancient and familiar arragnment OF tne
nress with the admission that not all newspapers are
guilty as charged Some of them ne admitted are DOING
what they can and much to bring to earth reign OF
GOOD will are disposed to discern the good and reJoce IN
it. and cultivate gracious speech and kindly judgment ol
their fellow-men.
That is remarkable concession to come from crluc
of the pressand most remarkable perhaps because OF
its rarity it being the wont of judges and advisers TO
talk as if there were no newspapers or as they confned
their own reading of whatever paper they take TO just
the parts which they so severely condemn For IL is
only by doing one or the other OF these reprenenSoe
and unfair things that anybody can fail to discover that
not small minority but very large majority OF pres
entday newspapers are the eager and efficient reVeaers
of the better sides OF life.
It is hardly becoming in cergymen to scod us for pay
inc much heed to sins and sinners We have the same
justification for doing it that they have And while 1t
may be tresome it is apparently necessary endesSy TO
repeat that the unusual the DISASTROUS the immoral are
not bit more prominent in the columns OF the better
newspaper than they are in the everyday conversation
even of people as worthy as Dr. GLADDEN. The paper that
IGNORED them would be desperately dull; also 1t would
soon and deservedy 90 bankrupt
The legitimate task of the papers is to keep the publc
informed as to what is going 1t is not their fault
bad things happen would the number OF bad things
be decreased-it would the contrary, be increased
the first and greatest desire of their perpetrators which
is always to escape notice, were gratlfied.
