year to year unless We provide SUM-

Bonds to Refund.
Voters must remember that in 1920,
less than flve years from now, We
have an issue OF $4,000 in bonds to
refund. These bonds at present bear
three and one-half per cent. interest.
When the time comes, with the towns
past financial record, what warrant
have We for thinking they can be cas-
lily fixed, unless we take up and show
disposition to pay current expenses
as we go along? This Is worthy Of

perhaps provide fund to establish

Alfalfa, the king of forage grasses,
yielded more abundantly than ever
under the radiance of Idaho sun, and
produced during the year no less than
2,5OO, 900 tons which found ready
and profitable market. That portion
of tho unsold crop is being held and
will, it is believed, bring higher prices.
Potatoes rank in importance with al
falfa or even apples in this state,
and produce abundantly in the great
alfalfa belt of the south and southeast
The estimated spud crop for the year
by we'll posted growers is 5000 cars,
the greater portion of which is held
in storage cellars along almost the
entire length of the Oregon Short
Line east and west across the state
and north and south on the Montana
division. They should bring to their
owners big returns later when the IT,
dial wave of the European demand for
produce reaches the United States.
Growers spent thousands of dollars
building the most modern storage
cellars along the railroads, where the
greater portion Of their crop is now
being held. An inferior market pre-
vented quick returns this year.

The sugar industry was confronted
with a very gloomy outlook when the
year opened. The new tariff threat
ened to close factories at Blackfoot,
Sugar City, hurley and Idaho Falls.
The situation changed quickly with
the ushering in Of the European
war, factories opened and run full
blast Thousands of tons of sugar
beets are raised in this state annual
ly. The 1914 crop had value Of
close to $4,000, 1000 and it's factories
produced over 1OO,6OO,0OO pounds of
refined sugar. Short hauls for the
farmers, favorable yields per acre,
and quick returns on their produce
made the sugar beet crop this year
one that should not be underestimate

Nine Years Ago Idaho
Governor Was Murdered

Caldwell - Nine years ego New
Years eve Frank Steunenberg, then
governor of Idaho, was hurled into
eternity by the explosion Of a bomb
planted near the gate of his home by
Harry Orchard, self-confessed slayer
of men by occupation. Orchard is
now serving lifo sentence in the Ida
no penitentiary for the crime commit
ted at Caldwell. The assassination of
Governor Steunenbcrg was the culmi-
nation of long and bitter struggle
between mine workers and owners OF
the Occur d'Alene district and result;
in one of the most sensational Grim
inal trials in the history of American
jurisprudence.
The confession of Orchard, impli-
eating Messrs. Haywood, Meyer and
Pettibone, officials of the Western
Federation of Miners, led to the arrsi
of the trio at Denver and their return
to Idaho to face charge of murder.

Orchard, who was registered at the
Saratoga hotel under the alias of
Thomas Hogan, was first suspected Of
the crime by George Froman, sheriff
elect OF Canyon county. He was placed
under surveillance. His room at the
hotel was searched and damaging evi
dence, including explosives used in the
manufacture of bombs, was found
He was arrested January 1, charged
with murder in tho first degree. A
supposed accomplice of Orchard, J. l..
Simpkins, escaped and has never been
apprehended.

About 30 days after his arrest Or.
chard confessed to the murder OF
Steunenberg, declaring that he had
been employed to assassinate the ex.
governor by officials of the Western
Federation of Miners, naming Hay
wood, Meyer and Pettibone.
A true bill was returned against the
trio by Canyon county grand jury:
they were located and taken in custo
dy at Denver.
To transport the prisoners to Idaho
special train was chartered and a
record breaking run from the Colo
RADIO capital was made. A squad OF
Colorado national guardsmen, com
manded by Adjutant General Buckley

other things, organized an enthusiastic
booster club. Tho name Of the organ
ization was called the Rockford Com
mercial League. The purpose of the
league is to further all improvements
and developments of the little town
of Rockford.
For some timo past B. Yates has
been working on the building and in-
cooperating a flour mill at this place,
and now that tho mill is an assured

Mr.. Yates called the meeting to
order and introduced A. Y. Satter-
field, president and head man of the
Society of Equity exchange of Poca-
tello, who gavo hong and interesting
talk on cooperation of farmers and
their needs. He enlivencd the meet
ing and infused considerable enthusi-
assn in all present.
The next matter taken up was the
organizing of the Rockford CONNER

ly signed. One was to tho Oregon

freight house at this point, and the
other one was to the Idaho CONSOLE
dated Light and Power Co. for an
extension of their line to this place.
If there is anything to bel accomplish
cd in boosting Rockford will certain.
ly find it out, as the people here are
wide-awake and determined to find
out what there is in it. Rockford Is
one of the best points along the line
to develop into an Industrious and
thriving town. 1t is in close prOx-
unity to the large dry farming ter
ritory that is being opened up, besides
large portion of the irrigated coun-
try to draw from, and ought to be
one of the business centers of Bine-

Rockford, and for miles around, arc
cordially invited and requested to be

Producers Organized
Had it not been for organization
among its producers, Idaho might
have suffered more in the past year
than it did. Organization did much
toward conserving the crops for moro
favorable markets. This organization
was manifested more particularly
among the sheep and stockmen, the
potato and the fruitgrowers. Having
common interest in these respec-
tive industries the producers combin-
ed to their own interests
The grain yield for 1914 in this
state was between 3S,00O0O0 and 49,.
100000 bushels with a valuation OF
$34, 100000. This golden yield came
from the Palouse belt of the north,
from the more diversified sections of
the southwest, the NEW Palouse" Of
the American Falls dry land section,
and the great semi-irrigated and dry
farm belt of the eastern part of the
state. In these dry farm areas farms
Of from 1000 to 5000 acres are not

half million acres now under cultiva-

Boise, Ida, Jan. with the open
ing of the new year Idaho has every
reason to face the future with optim-
ism. While a review of it's 1914 re-
cord does not show the pronounced
of former years, its
growth has been substantial. its pro-
gress has been certain, its area
of cultivated land has increased, it's
crops have been plentiful, its mines
have poured forth their steady wealth
so that it's citizens have been fairlv
prosperous. A firm foundation has
been laid to grasp with determination
the problems before it, to develop on
q greater scale it's resources, reclaim
more of its now barren and unsettled
lands, populate a greater area OF it's
territory, expand its markets and well
come legitimate capital to invest in
it's varied enterprises.
The year just closed was unusual
in several respects. 1t was distinct
ly an loft year" The stringent mo-
ney situation harnessed capital and
kept it cautious, early low markets
held down favorable prices and forced
storage of a great deal of produce, re-
clamation of lands on a large scale
was stagnant owing to the embarrass'
ment projects that have been launch
ed met with. the numbering industry
retrenched and little new capital was
attracted. Yet in spite of these
facts, crops almost bumper. grew and
a harvest was reaped, the effect of
which when disposed of ultimately at
favorable prices cannot help but he a
boon to the state as whole.
Tribute to Climate
It is a tribute to Idaho's climate
and it's rich agricultural sections that
where crops failed in other states, in
this state they were just as reliable
and sure in 1914 as they had been
in previous years, and If anything
greater in yield and area.
From those producing sections OF
the state at the close of the year re-
ports arc most favorable. Tho great

producer, has operated continuously
