TWO PLACED ON
TWO-YEAR PROBATION

Here are some of the things Earl
Maddux OF Calexico and j. r. Heatley
of Dixieland must not do during the
two-year period of their probation:
They must not gamble.
They must not enter a saloon.
They must not use liquor or mar
cotics of any kind
They must not enter an institution
where gambling is in progress.
The leniency of the court and the re-
port of Probation Officer Swanson,
who commented favorably for proba-
ton, saved Earl MadduX of Calexico
and j. R. Heatley of Dixieland from
the state prison when they appeared
before Superior Judge Cole yesterday
afternoon. Both pleaded guilty to bad
check charges and sought probation.
Both must make restitution for theil
lad debts before months have
elapsed, so the court ruled yesterday.

MELON VINES ARE
FREE FROM APKIS

With the aphis practically absent
from the cantaloupe and melon vines
indications point this year TO a great
er freedom from the pest then ever
before, according to Assistant Horti
cultural Commissioner Phelar.
The aphis are present only in No 5
district and are not appearing there
in alarming numbers. Some little
damage was wrought in the barley
fields from the aphis this year, bu-
the introduction of several millions Of
lady birds, which were liberated IN
various parts of the county, appears
TO have checked the pests to such an
extent that they are doing little if any
damage.
The reports, or lack of reports, from
the grasshopper-infested regions in
dicete that the pests seem to have
dispersed.

Cannot Stay Italian Rush.

Geneva, May % (Via Paris)-
Sweeping the Austrian line before
them in a rush that bids well to give
them a strong foothold in Carinthia,
the Italians have captured Ia Austrl-
an villages and have taken possession
of mountain passes.
Although devoting every effort
known to militarism IN an attempt
to stop the onward rush of the VIC
torious Italians, the Austrian troops
along the Carinthian line are being
forced rapidly backward
In spite of the sweeping Austrian
fire that moved down hundreds in
the narrow passes, more instantly
filled their places and continued the
advance.
The Italian troops, long desiring
active service, are fresh and eager
for the fray, while their Austrian enc
mics are worn and tired from long
campaigning.
Their defense lacks the vigoi
shown during the earlier assaults up
on the Servians.
The Italians are entrenching them
selves as they more inward toward
the center Of the Austrian forces and
will not easily be removed. In the
meantime their heavy guns are beng
brought up from behind with all pos
sible rapidity in readiness to begin
the assault on Triest when the time
comes.
Further reports show an apprecl-
able Italian advance all along the Aus
trian line.

FIRST MELONS ARE
SHIPPED THIS WEEK

Watermelon season vas declared
formally opened Wednesday, when
Arakelian Brothers Of Heber shipped
the first consignment Of valley
grown melons to Los Angeles, where
the market for the special brand Of
melons grown here has scared grace
fully to $3.50 for each melon.
Only q few watermelons have been
shipped thus far and the shipment of
car from the Arakelian ranch Mon
day will mark the beginning OF heavy
shipping.
The first car of cantaloupes was
shipped from Brawley Monday and
since that time several others have
followed.
The recent heavy windstorm which
swept over the valley and which
threatened serious damage to the mel
on crop has left the growers not a
whit discouraged. In fact they have
expressed satisfaction that the wind
has retarded usual early production
somewhat, for this reason:
Cantaloupes are essentially warm
weather delicaey suggestive OF vernal
winds and the fresh odor Of spring
showers Put = = # which i- pri-
marily the consumer of western can
taloupes, has been shivering under icy
blasts, which suggested anything but
spring and which would have proved
highly detrimental to the cantalOupe or
melon grower had his produce been
placed on the market during the cold
spell.
But almost simultaneously with the
cessation of winter in the East, the
cantaloupe and watermelon, the true
harbingers of warmer weather, are
making their initial appearance in the
East, and are accompanied by climatic
conditions which indicate a constant
market.

SHILOH AND GETTYSBURG.

Shiloh and Gettysburg! How far away
And faint they echo to us! Yet today
We view the marching ranks of blueclad men
And seem to see those stored scenes again
Blare of the strident trumpet, roll of drum.
The while we listen stirring visions come:
We see the glinting bayonets cold flash
And hear the armies meet IN cosmic clash.
Cased colors-nluffled drums-the solemn dirge!
Across our souls the floods Of sorrow surge;
We see, as in dream, the battle dead
And Gods stars, smiling softly overhead
Shiloh and Gettysburg-how far away
The Boys in Blue" are wearing Times own gray;
The remnant marches now--the hosts are gone;
But evermore their glory marches on!

THE BLACK CANYON IRRIGATION DISTRICT.

The board of directors of the Black Canyon Irrigation
District have entered into negotiations with c. L. Tall
madge of New York Mr. Tallmadge states that he has
the financial backing to put through this irrigation pro-
ject He also says that he is willing do it, He asks
that he be authorized make preliminary surveys to
ascertain the cost of the proposed irrigation works AS
soon the is ascerained he will make contract
with the district
The people directly interested are willing that Mr.
Tallmadge be permitted make his surveys. They are
also willing that he be given contract The question of
his ability to finance the project is the only one that at
all disturbs the public mind In view of his assurances
that he do think it the part of wisdom that he
be permitted to work out the problem
The most recent from Washington is the same
that has for several years. The Reclamation Ser
vice. for want of money unable undertake the pro-
ject The policy of the Service to complete all enter
prises under way before taking up new projects re-
mains unchanged In short there is assurance that
the United States Reclamation Service will ever under
take the reclamation of the Black Canyon tract
In view of the inability of the Reclamation Service to
do anything believe that Mr.. TalImadge should be
given encouragement which consistent with the
rights of the district If Mr. Tamadge puts the enter
prise through he will make money At least he ex-
poets to make money. He is not engaged in this
work for his health love of country or brotherly feeling
toward humanity The Tribune hopes that he can finance
the projects that he will finance the project and that he
will do so proftably to himself.

A FAVORABLE DISPOSITION

II there is anything needed show that Congress

that several congressman members of the

summer. These members of Congress are coming out
here to learn the exact status of affairs gain frsthand
normaton in order that they may know what course to
take in the future They show their interest in western
affairs and in western needs by coming here On their
arrival will be the duty of the west to convince them
OF the necessity and justice of claims If these men
come to Idaho and unable to convince them the
failure is clearly fault All that we can ask is
that they come with open minds.
Visitors to Washington return fully convinced that
Congress willing to deal fairly with the west The
trouble is that Congress does know the west We are
sorry to say that western delegations in Congress seem
unable unwilling to present side of the case Such
being true, and doubt it, the western states
are clearly at fault. We have sent to Washington =
number of weak sisters The western states have followed

DIssENT1oN AMONG THE DEMOCRATS.

Friends of P. E. Smith of this city state that The
Tribune unfair Mr. Smith in an editorial which
appeared in the last issue under the heading THAT Cad
well Scandal These friends state that Mr.. Smith had
the endorsement of the rank and file the party and of
the leading business of Caldwell as we'll as the
dorsement of the county organization They also state
that there general dissatisfaction with the appointment
of Mr.. Ford.
The article in question reply to article which
appeared in Boise publication The Idaho Review made
that there serious scandal in connection with
the appointment of Mr.. Ford. The Tribune sought to
show that there scandal and that the appointment
was made in the other appointments to
public Office in fact that the only difference that in
this set of politicians outguessed by
Their set This fact maintain stands clear and
distinct and above all controversy.
We believe that it will be admitted by everybody
nected with local affairs that Mr. Smith had stronger
better and more local endorsements than Mr.
Ford We sought to give any other impression In
previous issues of The Tribune have stated that Mr
Smith had the endorsement of majority of the Demo-
cratic county central committee chairman and secre
tary of great many local business men, of the state
central committee and national committeeman; and of
Governor Alexander" The facts in the matter were
known to Tribune readers They could not have been de-
ceved. The Tribune also in former issue published
complete account of the meeting of local Democrats and
the resolutions which they adopted which voiced strong
protest against the appointment of Mr. Ford We believe
that in view of these facts be admitted that The
Tribune has been fair to Mr.. Smith, He is good man.
He stands high in the community both with his party
associates and in business circles We know Of no Demo
crat better qualified acceptable than Mr. Smith
To clear the record reerate that Mr. Smith had the
strongest party endorsements of any candidate we have
ever known Those friends and supporters are dssats
fed with Mr.. Ford
In spite OF all of the above again that there
was no scandal in the transaction Mr. Ford is Cald-
well man we'll worthy the respect Of the people of this
community.
