This elevator lowers the line into

During the latter movement,
the line Of matrices has been car

other is being assembled, and five
lines may be seen in the machine
at one time undergoing different
operations. Six to eight lines per
minute is the general capacity of
the machine, but fast operator
has been known to set as high as
eleven, when the machine is speed
ed up to that point. The Inter
type with one operator produces
the amount Of work that formerly
required six hand compositors.
The metal is kept at a temper
ature of $50 degrees by a series of
gas burners. Power is applied by
an individual electric third-horse
power motor and by means OF
friction automatic clutch. Safety
devices are so arranged that when
ever undue resistance is encoun-
tered in any part OF the machine,
it automatically stops, thus pre-
venting breakage that might 9TH
erwise easily occur to a machine
so delicately constructed.
The Intertype possesses many
new and original improvements,
superior to the older and more
complicated machines, which are
greatly appreciated by the oper-
ator.
The public is invited to witness
the operation of this machine
when the office is III
more thoroughly settled condi-
ton.
The machine was installed and |
the office force 'put next" by
C. c. Clinton, the company s rep
resentative, of Portland, Oregon.

Good Meeting at Henderson.

| The Henderson school house
southeast Of Vollmer, was the
scene Of very interesting com
munity meeting last Tuesday,
when the first gathering of this
sort was held in that district.
The crowd was slow in assembl-
ing and no morning exercises
were conducted. But all were on
hand for dinner, and a generous
feast was enjoyed.
In the afternoon the farm crops
and fancy work displays took up
the first part of the program.
Messrs. Frank Blenders, Geo. Me
Lagan and Prof. A. E. Wade We're
appointed as judges for the form
er, and awarded prizes as fol
lows:

In judging the grains Prof.
Wade pointed out the superior
and inferior qualities and made
clear the details that brought the
different results. He also lectur-
ed on tuberculosis in chickens.
The cong, America, was given
in chorus at the close OF his re-
marks, and this was followed by
an address by Rev. Geo. Ill. FL
lis, on the purpose of Commu-
nifty Meetings.
Then came the fine program by
the school children, under the dl-
rection Of the teacher, Miss Flyn.
An exhibit which received much
merited attention was the fancy
work display made by the ladies
Of the neighborhood. We were |
unable to get the list OF prize
winners i'll this, however.
The officers elected for the |
next meeting were: Issac Olson,
president; j. z. Henderson, vice

cussion to everyone.

cuSS10n TO everyone.
1t is considered the greatest Of
all mechanical inventions and has
been improved from the first by
thousands and thousands of tire
less workers along mechanical
lines and experimental men from
all parts Of the world.
To the casual observer the ma-
chine presents a maze of cams,
rods, cogs, belts and pulleys and
various other mechanical move
ments, confusing, albeit very in
teresting When once thoroughly
understood, the wonders Of the
machine are more fully appreci-
atcd.
This machine, however, is not.
the result of any one mans work.
Ottmar Mergenthaler was the in-
ventor of the first successful line
easter and other basic features Of
its construction. He built the
first machine, but the finished
product as it stands today, bears
the brain-marks and handicraft of
many men, and is very unlike the
first one constructed 1t is said
that every known mechanical
is applied in the various
actions Of the lntcrtype.

Hatfield to District Court.

Lundy Hatfield was placed un-
der $4,000 bond to appear before
the next term of district court III
this city to answer to the charge
Of the theft of four head of cat
tie from Jacob Boyer, resident
of the Mohler section, as a result
Of preliminary hearing had be-
fore Probate Judge Roberts in
the district court room Monday
afternoon.
The bond has not yet been fur
nished, but it is thought it will
be forthcoming in a few days.
In the meantime Hatfield remains
in the custody of Sheriff Paige.
AT today's hearing only two
witnesses We're heard, both for the
state. Jacob Boyer testified that
on October IA last Hatfield sold
to him two steers and that later
the two steers purchased from
Hatfield together with two 9th
ers bought from a man named
William Campbell were stolen
from his place. Louis Drake, the
other witness, testified that two
days after Boyer claims to have
purchased the steers from Hat
field the latter came to him with
four steers to sell, a deal being
made and Hatfield receiving pay
ment by check The animals were
identified as those belonging to
Boyer
The defense introduced no wit
nesses. Attorneys Perry Mitchell
of Nezperce, and A. H. Mason, of
Vollmer, appearing for Hatfield,
made a motion to have the case
dismissed owing to the states
failure to make case. This was
overruled.
County Attorney Tannahill
handled the states side of the
ease.
Nine days after the commission
Of the crime alleged against Hat
field he left the country. Sus-
picion pointed to him and a war
rant was issued for his arrest.
The cattlemen Of Lewis county
md vicinity became interested in
he case and offered a reward of
$50 for Hatfield's s apprehension
md T. ]. Preston, engaged in the
log business on large scale,
caused circular to be printed
which he sent to all parts Of Ken
ucky, from which state Hat
ield came here. In this manner
Hatfield was located at Flat Gap,
Ky, in johnson county, and i'm
upon learning Of his
Sheriff M. III. Paige
vired a warrant to the sheriff Of
Johnson county. A reply was re-
eived the following day demand
ng affidavits Of the prosecuting
witnesses and all facts connected
With the case, and saying Hatfield
lad been located. The informa-
ion was sent and after waiting
everal days Sheriff Paige wired
skiing regarding the status of af-
airs and was informed that Hat
ield had fled. Mr.. Preston then
rot into communication again
With people in Kentucky and
earned that Hatfield was at Chill
icothc, Ohio, and Sheriff Paige
vired a warrant to that place, re-
he man had been arrested and
he man had been arrested and
yould be held. Sheriff Paige
rent to Ohio and returned here
18th Hatfield last week.
Hatfield offered no resistance
'hatever on his trip west with
neriff Paige and the trip was
ade without incident. The de-
,ndmt protests his innocence Of
~ wrong doing in the transac-
ON and maintains that he will
) able to thoroughly establish
lis fact when the time comes to
,oduce his side Of the case.

State Tax Association.

Our county assessor has recei,
ed an invitation, and perhaps otl
ers in the county have receive
the same, to be present at Bois
on December 81 and % to assis
in the organization Of State Ia,
Association, to listen to the pre-
sentation OF some of Idaho S mos
pressing tax problems, and to par
ticipate in a discussion of thes,
problems.
This invitation is issued from
the University Of Moscow, De
partment of Economics, and de
sires the cooperation of every one
who is interested in the serious
tax problem Of Idaho. 1t is sign
ed by such men as Gov. Alexan-
der, A. p. Ramstedt, j. A. Purtill,
j. d. Robertson, r. B. Wilson,
Jas. H. Hawley, j. A. Blomquist,
Howard T. Lewis, Pres. Melvin A.
Brannon and others.
The association is to be Of alb
solutely nonpartisan character
1t will take no sides. It's pro-
gram is mutual study, cooperation
and discussion. It's object is to
make tax laws simpler, saner,
more just and more effective, but
it aims to do this only after care
full consideration by all who will
bring to the inquiry honest, un-
selfish, sympathetic and patriotic
effort. =
An experiment program is at
tached to the invitation. The
speakers named are men Of our
state, who are making the sub
jects of assessment and taxation
a special study.
We believe this is move in the
right direction. Other states
have these tax associations and
are benefited thereby. In many
states there are county tax asso-
Citations. They are composed Of |
all classes of taxpayers who, while |
they are attending to their own
business successfully, have awak-
ened to the fact that some partic-
ular wrong, or extravaganza may |
have crept into the administration
Of state, county or other branches
Of government. One Of the prin-
cipal objects of these associations
is to awaken public sentiment so
the people will acquaint them
selves with public affairs. OF the
many thousands Of dollars that
ire handled and spent by the diff
'erent branches of government,
rom the state down to a county
school district, the average tax
payer knows nothing of the man
Ter III which this is done. 1t is
he duty of the taxpayer to know
whether his county, city or school
s being conducted along econom-
cal lines or in an extravagant
We believe this tax association
dea should be encouraged and
'ublic opinion educated in the
natter Of equitable taxation, for
vhen the rate of taxation is so ;
much greater than the rate of
Increase in valuation and popu-
alton, it is a sure guess that some
ody or some taxing district is
DING broke.

ton, Latest Improvement In
County's Leading Plant.

The accompanying cut illus
trates the new Lino-Intertype ma
chine, which was installed in The
Herald office this week. The ma
chine was ordered from the Inter
national Typesetting Machine Co,
and shipped to us direct from the
San Francisco agency Of that COM
pany, and arrived in Nezperce on
Monday, and was unloaded from
the freight car Tuesday morning
about ten O o'clock and was casting
type the same evening.
This up-to-date machine in CON
nection with the otherwise we'll
equipped printing plant of The
Herald places this office in a po-
sition to compete with the chest
of them. =
The Intertype is the latest and
most up-to-the-minute composing
machine on the market today. 1t
is manufactured by the Interna-
tional Typesetting Machine Com
pany, OF Brooklyn, New York, and
the men composing this company
are recognized as the best in the
world in this line Of manufacture.
The lntertype is an improved
line casting machine which is fast
displacing the old-style Mergen-
thaler linotypes in both newspa-

The international Typesetting
Machine Company is capitalized |
at over $6,000,000, and numbers

zation Of this company and the
production of the Intertype were
brought about because of the ex-
,essive price charged for compos-
ing machines by the company
which has had a monopoly of the
business for many years. The cx-

Char
acters Try Visit
To Flag Island
Bath Times. Sept. %

A week ago Sunday two strangers Ap-
peared at the store of Alonzo G, Fisher
at Fosters Point. arriving one OF
the boats of the regular transportation
line on the New Meadows and en-
deavored to arrange with Mr.. Fisher to
take them 10 Flag Island which lies of
the mouth of the New Meadows and
which has recently been recommended to
the United States Government as a site
for flying station TO be the base OF
aerial reconnaissance along the Maine
coast particularly with view to the de-
Tense of Portland and the kennebec
river.
Al the time, Mr.. Fisher had not heard
of the selection of this uninha bited island
for this military purpose, and was
greatly puzzled by the desire of his visi-
tors to go to the island Their conduct
was most peculiar, he says, and they
evaded all his questioning in regard to
the object Of their trip. They were per-
sistent and would keep coming back 40
endeavor to get him to take them to tbs
island. and after each conversation with
Mr.. Fisher would withdraw beyond ear
returning with q new proposition of
new set Of questions. They hung about
the place all the afternoon from two
O clock un-il nearly six before they gave
UP the project and engaged Mr.. Fisher
10 rush them to Bath in his automobile,
where they boarded the Boston steamer.
The men. Mr.. Fisher says. were fairly
well dressed but looked to him like
crooks They spoke English we'll but
might have been foreigners. A few days
aft their visit he learned of the new
mil tary importance of Flag Island and
decided that the men nigh. have been
spies That seems to be the most reason
able theory in respect to their anxiety
TO visit q lonely anu uninhabited islet
OF which few people outside the imme-
diate neEhborhood had ever heard OF
until Admiral Peary offered to present it
TO the Government for a flying station. a
purpose to which 1t is ideally ada pied.
/ That action would make the island a
matter of interest to the German secret
service. which is about the only interest
il could have for anybody.
