this city. Mrs. Marshall, who was
formerly Mrs. T. R. Hubbard and
one OF the well-known pioneer resi-
dents Of the Fruitland district, con
tributed no small part towards max
ing that the finest farm-residence
section of the entire state and as
she continues to have her means in
vested In the Payette Valley, she
takes as deep an interest as ever il
the growth and DEVELOPMENT that
has taken place since she became a
resident of Buffalo and the wife OF
a wellto-do business man of that
city. When it was suggested to Mr..
Marshall by this writer that, sooner
or later he would doubtless be want
ing to retire from active business
and would clean up his eastern IN
terests and come to Idaho and make
a home, where he could live more
happily and grow old more grace
fully than anywhere else In the

that might happen to a man."

ONTARIO BANKER
AND LAWYER STIRS UP
A NASTY MESS.

]. R. Blackaby, president OF the
Ontario National bank, and W. E
Lees, a prominent attorney of that
city, appeared before Judge Dietrich
in the United States court on Satur-
day, charged with having on July II,
1914, transported Edith v. Smith
from Boise to Ontario for the pur-
pose Of prostitution and with intent
to entice her to establish and oper-
ate a bawdy house IN Ontario. They
requested end were granted until
Monday afternoon at 2 O'Clock TO
plead. 1t is expected that their plea
will be mot guilty" and the case
will come to trial here. They were
released on their own recosnizsnoe.
The defendants are the owners Of
the Ontario hotel, which was raidsd
last winter, following a grand jury
investigation IN Malheur county
Edith Smith, who was running the
hotel, was absent in the east when
the raid was made.
SUED FOR RENT.
A few weeks ago Blackaby and
Lees brought suit against Edith
Smith, who was named IN the com
plant as Lucas" They sought to
collect two months rent from her
She put up the defense that the On
tario house was conducted as a dis
orderly establishment and under the
Oregon laws rent for such establish
nents is not collectable. =.
The Smith woman won her sui
and, it is alleged, she announced
her intention to get even" with
Bleckaby and Lees.
The defendants were inHoted by
The federal grand jury in Boise a few
days ago and voluntarily came here
TO answer the charge against them.
The Ontario men filed a demurrer
In the Federal court at Boise Mon
day, in which they deny the allega-
tons of the information and indict-
nent and in which Is raised the
question of the illegality of the IN
iictment. While not admitting the
facts, they contend that the White
Slave law is not applicable to their
Ease.

Promoters of the idea have bezn or
sanized and working toward this end

badly in need OF drainage. It Is
understood that nearly all the land
owners favor the effort being made
to reclaim these salt grass lowlznds.
