CANARD PROVES BOOM
ERANC
Representative Peter G..
Johnston Vigorously De-
MES Statement That There
Has Been Any Political
Deal Effecting Judiciary.

The canard being circulated by the
opponents of Governor Haines alleg-
ing a corrupt political deal is proving
boomerang to the parties who hoped
to profit by it. The Richfield Recorder,
an ardent advocate of a candidate OPP
posed to Governor Haines, fathered the
charges and the article is being printed
and circulated in circular form
throughout the state by the parties who
hoped for political gain through these
false and malicious charges.
Governor Haines made a prompt,
emphatic and vigorous denial which
has been followed by an equally en-
phatic and vigorous denial by Repre-
sentative Peter G. Johnston of Black
foot.
The charges in brief were that Gov
ernor Haines had entered into a cor
rupt political deal whereby he was
to appoint Judge Bulge to the supreme
court in return for political support
in the southeast and in the charges
Peter G. Johnston was named as an
emissary of Governor Haines to Judge
Bulge.
1t was most unfortunate that the Re-
corder named a man OF such promi
hence and high standing in the state
as Peter G. Johnston. Mr.. Johnston
has | cen a member of the state legis-
lature for eight years and is recognize
ed all over the state as a man of I'M
questioned integrity. His denial Will
be accepted without question by thou
sands of people in the state of Idaho
who know him personally or by repu-
tation. The following is his denial CIV
en- to the press:
Ria ok foot Ida Anp
c. ]. Isle. Richheld, Ida,
Dear Sir: In your issue of the Rich
field Recorder published Thursday,
Aug. 10, you state that Governor
Haines sent for me in order to have me
act as his personal emissary in con-
ferring with the Honorable Alfred
Bulge with reference to the appoin-
ment of said Alfred Bulge on the SUI
preme bench of this state That state
ment is false-absolutely so. Governor
Haines did not, in any interview that
l had with him mention the name of
Judge Alfred Bulge or discuss the APP
pointment of Bulge or any one else
upon the supreme bench.
I desire that you publish this, my
denial of your statement, in the next
issue of the Richfieid Recorder and
give 1t the same prominence as you do
the article in which the falsehood /
herein complain of appeared.
Yours respectfully,
PETER G. JOHNSTON.
Reports from various parts of the
state are to the effect that the efforts
to besmirch the names of such hon
orable men as Judge Bulge. Peter G.
Johnston, Judge Walters and Governor
Haines in such "a false and malicious
manner are proving a boomerang and
are being resented by all fair minded
people. 1t is suggestive that Governor
Haines' administration has been re-
marlSably clean and honest, that his
opposition must resort to such canards
In conducting their campaign.

COAL CONSIGNED TO
AN ALASKAN PORT is
SEIZED BY BRITISH

Ketchikan, Alaska, Aug. 26.-Coal en-
route to this port on board the Cana
dian Pacific freighter Princess Ena,
consigned to the Northland Dock COM
pany, of Ketchikan, was seized by the
British government at Prince Rupert
yesterday and is being loaded there on
board the British cruiser Rainbow.
Fishermen say that the German cruiser
Leipzig Is cruising about Dixon en-
trance, and within 60 miles of Prince
Rupert.
The British hospital ship Prince
George came to this port yesterday and
asked to have her tanks filled with
fuel OIL Deputy Collector of Customs
Dobbs refused to allow her to take any
oil until he had communicated with
Washington.
Last night the Prince George was
permitted to take ESQ barrels. This
amount, it was estimated, would put
her back in Prince Rupert. from which
port she had sailed. She had asked for
1900 barrels.
The Canadian revenue cutter Egeria
called at Sulzer, on Prince of Wales
island, seeking coal
The belief that the Leipzig Is off
northern British Columbia is based al
together on reports of fishermen and
the activity Of British ships north of
Vancouver island.

BLACKFOO7 HAS SAD
SERIES OF TRAGEDIES
(Miner. MackaY.l


Blackfoot has furnished a series of
sad tragedies this week. the first of
which was that of a mother missing
little baby and upon searching the
premises found an arm and foot of the
little one in the hog lot, the animals
having almost devoured the helpless
baby.
Following this, one of the prominent
women of the town, a Mrs Bond, wan
dered away from home, and though
business houses closed that all might
joint in the search. yet no trace of the
lady has been found. Bloodhounds
from the penitentiary We're brought
and followed a scent to the Indian dam
on the Blaclofoot river. The water is
being diverted and it is thought the
body viii be found as soon as the flow
Is lowered.
While the entire populace was out
hunting the missing lady, farmer liv-
ing near there, while trying to eject a
shell from a shotgun, accidentally dis
charged the gun, the load entering the
breast Of his wife, killing her almost
instantly.

The Foot and Mouth scandal.

New York Sun: The whole sys-
tenn of federal, state and local cattle
inspection has been shown up as use
less and ineffective by the spread of
foot and mouth disease, now defin-
itely established in the herds of II
widely separated states, and proba-
bly, existing in others. The wide au-
thority and almost despotic power
confined to public officers to protect
the population from diseased domes-
tic cattle, the great sums of money
cheerfully contributed by the tax
payers for salaries, fees and REIN
b%ursements, have been wasted.
A disease easily recognized, the
spread of which is possible only
through neglect of the simplest pre-
cautions, has been carried over a ter
tory comprising a quarter of the
United States, within which at least
a third of its population lives; it
menaces the cattle in every other
state, and through them the health
of every citizen of the country.
The present duty of the author
tiles is obvious, and they are ap-
preaching it with some show of intel
ligent determination. The future
duties of the authorities will be to re-
organize their inspection services so
that such a pestilence can not again
spread from the place of it's origin
or introduction into the country, and
to punish the unfaithful or incom-
petent men responsible for it's con-
temporary prevalence.
How much the taxpayers pay for
the service that has permitted this
disease to run the course it has no.
body knows. The sum is in the mil
lions. 1t has been paid over by the
taxpayers without complaint. But
before this subject is disposed Of the
gentlemen who have been spending it
without accomplishing anything are
likely to hear some plain talk from
those they have betrayed.

Her Machine.

She sat on a bench under M Of
the older trees, with closed lips
drinking in the glories Of the setting
sun.
Excuse me-" he said, lifting his
hat with his right hand while he ad-
dressed her with his left, "but do you
happen to have such a thing on you
as a match? That is my automobile
standing there and / find myself
without a match to light the lamp
1t was obviously but a ruse to en-
gage her in conversation, but he was
a rather nice-loking young man, with
a three-dolar knitted necktie and all,
and she smiled as she told him how
sorry she was about having no match.
"They all fall for the automobile
he murmured to himself.
One thing led to another, and soon
he was sitting beside her chatting
gayly about the Latin Quarter,
Shakespeare's latest play, the prev
alence of divorce and other absorb
ing topics. But soon it really did
begin to darken up.
81 must 60" she said, and, giving
him a final smile, she strobe daintily
to the automobile to which he had
pointed as his, hoped in and was
lost in a cloud of dust, leaving him to
reflect on the Just deserts which
sooner or later must envelop all

RAIN BY WIRELESS.
Wet Weather to Order Is Now the Aim
Of tho Scientists.

Weather control-rain ordered for
midnight, day after tomorrow-may be
a wireless victory in the next genera
tton. Now 1t Is weird and visionary,
but Sir Oliver Lodge, who is in the top
"ank Of living scientists, thinks 1t not
improbable and is now calling on his
fellows to begin wireless studies with
this purpose in mind. The more there
Is discovered about the way wireless
telegraphy works the more 1t is evil
ient that weather and wireless wave
ale tangled with each other.
Almost every one knows that wire
less telegraphy works better by night
than by day and has peculiar jumps Of
efficiency at sunset. A wireless opera
tor on shipboard in the far north
found that during a display of the
aurora borealis the northern lights
were widely disturbed when he sent
out wireless signals from his ship.
The growing theory concerning the
way wireless waves follow the curve
Of the earth is in simple language that
the upper layers of the air form a sort
Of magnetic cushion against which the
wireless waves can bound along. Sir
Oliver wishes to have experiments
made by discharging very powerful
wireless waves from kites under all
kinds of weather conditions in order
to ascertain whether the waves will
under any conditions make clouds con
dense into rain or prevent them from
%condensing.
1t is not to be expected. of course,
that rain could be obtained from a dry
sky. but normal conditions of the air
would leave much opportunity for
weather control If the theory should
prove workable.
The total eclipse Of the sun on a
path from Greenland to Persia next
August Is to be made the occasion for
elaborate wireless experiments. Wire
less signals will be sent out from with

shadow, and the effect of the shadow
on these signals should give more
