SANDS SAD TO REALIZE
since business slumped so astonish-
ingly.
From many sources has he bor-
rowed money, but, alas, all of his
generous friends have now declared
he shall not have one more penny.
With tears in his voice Peter told
the story of his sudden poverty. His
lawyer laid it to the closing of the
redlight district, but Peter himself
laid it upon the shoulders of his wife,
who, he says, came around and both
cred him.
And when Judge Fry told Peter
that in spite of his sudden loss of all
source of income and with the wolf
right at his abode, the barn, he must
pay his wife $40 a week for the sup
port of the two children, Peters law
yer assured the court that Peter
might as well be taken at once to the
Bridewell, for he had not a friend
left to even go on his bond, and as
to paying $40 week, why, impos-
sible! Peter must be martyr to his
poverty!
+ But l have sneaking notion that
Peter was out on bond before the
day closed.
Then there was James Dacoma,
1888 Wentworth aV. James has hith-
erto had a nice job paying him as
much as $3.50 a week, but he has
been utterly unable to get another
job and the best he could do after
quite a long inner debate was to
promise he would pay if he could Sc
cure job.
The sad part of it is that the wives
do not show the least bit of sympa-
thy toward their suddenly stricken
husbands. Each wife declares that
Diogenes' search for an honest man
will remain fruitless if her husbands
story is to be considered an example
of honesty.
HE has plenty of money. He
makes lots of money. He could get

ing inability on his part to get work
you might hazard a dozen guesses,
but unless you had spent some time
in the divorce court or the Court of
Domestic Relations, you wouldn't
guess the one thing that is most dis
astrous in this respect.
1t is wife's appeal for alimony or
for the support of her children.
Really, it is tragic what terrible
result this has on the prospects Of
a man. PUNK! Gone is his business
that netted him several thousand dol
lars year before his wife brought
him into court. Bing-bang, gone is
the nice little job he had for several
years, and the best he can do is to
assure the Judge that after weeks of
fruitless searching he is convinced he
can martyr himself no farther than
to go willingly to the Bridewell be-
cause it is impossible to support his
wife or children.
In the Court of Domestic Relations
yesterday was most pitiful instance
of this.
Peter Heron has a taxicab stand
in front of the Hotel Deluxe on Wa
bash avenue. Peter has three cars
and hitherto he made quite large
amount of money steering people
around the city.
But that was before his wife Til
lie entered divorce proceedings and
then brought him into court to pro-
vide for his two children.
Now his condition is pitiful. On
cars valued at 81, 400 he has a mort
gage of 81, 1,475. And though he has
not been. able to make a bit of money
in almost two months he owes three
large bills for gasoline. The Sep
tember rent on the barn he uses as
garage is not paid and he and his
cars will be turned out into the cold,
cruel world, for not only the cars but

SHIPPERS AGAINST HIGH
SCHEDULES
Would Force Oregon Short Line
to Modify Rates on II
Branches.

| Victory for the shippers on the Hill
in the matter of freight and passen-
ger rates through the operations of
the public utilities commission will
make it necessary for the railroad
company to justify its rates on IT
other branch lines or change their
schedules to conform to the orders of
the state officials, says the Statesman.
Attorney General Peterson, acting
for and in behalf of the people of the
state, filed complaint with the pub
lie utilities commission on Tuesday
against the Oregon Short Line Rail
way company, in which it is set forth
that the company is charging four
cents mile for passengers on the
branch lines and only three ccn1s a
mile on the main line, and that it is
charging unreasonable rates on
freight shipments. An order is asked
from the commission to put an end to
this alleged discrimination and to
grant a hearing to establish the facts.
The branch lines are enumerated,
among them being the Idaho Northern
from Nampa to Donnelly, and the
grounds of the complaint are:
That upon the said branch lines so
owned, maintained and operated by
the defendant as aforesaid, the de-
fendant charges a passenger rate of
upward of A cents per mile, whereas
the defendant charges for passenger
travel upon its main lines within the
state of Idaho at the rate of cents
per mile.
That the said passenger rate so
charged upon the branch lines of de-
fendant, as aforesaid, are unreason-
able and constitute a discrimination
against the localities situate upon the
said branch lines.
Wherefore, this complainant asks
that the defendant may be required
after due hearing and investigation
an order be made commanding the
said defendant to cease and desist
from the aforesaid discrimination
against the communities located upon
its said branch lines and to put in
force and apply in future passenger
fares upon its said branch lines at the
same rate per mile as is now in force
and effect upon the main lines of the
defendant within the state of Idaho,
and that such other and further order
or orders, be made as the commission
may consider proper in the premises.

FAMOUS ART EXHIBIT
IS HERE
Will Be on Exhibition in Com
mercial Club Rooms
This Week.

The collection of oil paintings by
women artists of America loaned to
the art department of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs by the
Society of Women Painters of New
York and brought to Emmett through
the enterprise of the Crescent Club,
that is now on exhibition in the Com
mercial Club rooms is of exceptional
merit and is without doubt the best
travelling exhibit that has been sent
to the West, and great credit is due
the Crescent Club in securing and
arranging such an excellent display
of fine art.
All picture lovers and those who
are admirers of art and the beauti-
full will find it more than worth their
while to stop and look over and study
the work of these artists. One is so
pleasantly impressed with the variety
of study the collection presents. The
exhibit will be open to the public to-
night, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
from 2 to o'clock in the afternoon
and to 10 at night. Admission free.
The following letter has been ad-
dressed to Emmett people by Mrs.
Minnie F. Howard of the General Fed
Grated Art Committee:
Your Crescent Improvement Club
has this week to offer you an art ex-
hibit of exceptional merit. | believe
this to be the first rural club in the
United States to offer its community
an art exhibit of original paintings;
and since "where the treasure is there
will the heart be also," | hope the
Emmett rural club will one day own
its own picture for community enjoy
ment, because art is one of the purest,
loftiest and most ennobling pleasures
that the civilized world can offer.
l hope no family will miss seeing
these beautiful pictures; and let every
one cast a vote for their favorite pic
ture, and return many times to make
a careful decision before casting a
ballot.
"Bathers" by Sophie Marston Bran
non, was hung last year by the Ma
tional Academy, the most careful art
jury in this country.
"Study in Black" by Tony Nell, is
the very picture that won the Beal
prize in 1910.
"In a Hilly Country" by Charlotte
B. Cowan, was painted since Mrs.
Cowan was 80 years of age. Mrs.
Cowan was the mother of a family
and did not study art at all until the
age of so.
There are many other works of
merit by American artists in the col
lection and no one should miss this
opportunity of seeing them.

ALFALFA FORKS

The introduction three
years ago in this section by
the Hawkins hardware store
of the Keen Kutter Alfalfa
and Hay Fork marked a big
step forward in the improve
ment of that tool. The mer-
its of this fork were at once
recognized and the sale has
been very large. It's quail
ties are especially appreci-
ated in handling alfalfa, as
the peculiar construction of
the tines permits no hay to
hang on the fork. 1t is a
time saver and a labor saw
er. If you haven't already
used it, call at our store and
we will take pleasure in
demonstrating its advan-
tages. We know you will
like it, and after having
used it will use no other.
We have other kinds of
hay forks if you prefer
them.

distance east of town, are of the opin-
ion that with no further damage they
will have full crop of prunes and
apples.
Loe Reed on the upper mesa is
sure his peach trees now have enough
live buds to make at least five boxes
of matured fruit to the tree and his
apples are in good condition.
E. E. Hampton states that but very
little damage was done in his neigh
borhood and that the A. Hoisted and
John Sanders apple orchards have all
they should carry.
James Jackson also has plenty of
apples and states the same is true
of the V. T. Craig, Parker and Slim
son orchards.
Walter Larkin is of the opinion that
his Jonathan apples have practically
all been killed, but his trees are only
in their fifth year and almost too
young to bear.
Whitsell Brothers report a good
crop of prunes on the old John West
place.
Claude Whlteslde says they yet
have plenty of live buds to make full
crop of apples.
George Johnson yet has peaches on
his ranch on Bissel creek.
A. T. Hankins reports the apples
practically uninjured on the Trow-
bridge ranch.
On the butte the fruit is all safe. ].
NJ. Martin came in today and reports
no injury to his orchard.
Of course it is impossible to make
an accurate estimate of the damage
at this time, as often in the case of
peaches the "June drop" is very heavy
resulting from severe frost injury.
But with no further low temperature
Emmett will this season, as in the
past, demonstrate its superiority as
a real fruit country.
