A BIG PRICE FOR HOGS.
Buyer John Rotnlisberg Buys rs Head
From J. E. Ely at $3.50.

John Rothlisberg, buyer for Kar-
stein & Company of Seattle, purchased
rs head of hogs Monday from j. f.
Ely at $3.50, which he claims are the
best bunch every sold on the prairie.
The hogs averaged 241 pounds and
were just ten months old being a cross
between the Berkshire and Poland
China breeds. The check for the pork
ers will make a nice showing in Mr.
Ely's bank balance being for the sum
of $1354.S5. Mr.. Ely is one of the
leading hog raisers of the prairie ana
large producer of high grade stuff
that brings the top price as indicated
above. Although $3.50 per hundred
may seem to be a good price for hogs
yet under the high prices of feed the
margin of profit over the above price
of feed is not large if any. The pres
ent prospects are good that the price
viii still continue on the raise and it
has been jumping steadily of late.

KILLED MAD COYOTES.

James Graves received a letter from
Lorenz Uhling of Cottonwood last
Thursday evening, that gentleman ex-
planning that he rad sent over the feet
of two coyotes, and had not sent the
pelts as required by law by reason of
the fact that the animals were mad
when killed. Under the provisions of
the predatory animal law the pelts
must be sent in so that the feet may
be skinned out and therefor it will be
impossible for Mr. Graves to issue re-
ceipts that will entitle Mr.. Uhling to
the bounty. This is the first report of
the killing of mad coyotes in this sec.
tion of the country although hydropho-
bia among the pests is reported in other
sections.

A new Huntington mill was put on

owned by Ex-Governor Haines, Cruzen,
Jensen, and A. HI. Shaw of Boise. 1t

Work on other properties in the dis

Everything speaks for great activity
during the coming summer.
Mr.. Cook is the owner of an anti
mony lead in the Warrens district

mineral and the increased demand
since the commencement of the war
promises to be as valuable as gold
mine and more valuable than many.
This lead carries about so per cent of
the metal, and according to Mr.. Cook
is the only showing of any great value
in that immediate country. He is plan
ming on operating his holdings and
putting the mineral on the market dur

GEcENTLY TAKEN FROM BABIES
AND SENTENCED TO TERM IN
STATE PENITENTIARY.

Boise, Feb. 20.-Governor Alexander
issued reprieve yesterday to Mrs. j.
ID. Ross, the woman who, with her hus
band and son, was sentenced to serve
from six months to five years in the
state penitentiary for receiving stolen
goods, having been convicted of that
crime in the Fourth judicial district
court for Cassia county. The reprieve
is until the next meeting of the board
of pardons. Another son and step
son were sentenced to the states penal
institution for burglary. Before her
incarceration Friday Mrs. Ross was
forced to see her one -month-ol child
taken from her while she left four
other children at Albion. Governor
Alexander acted on the reprieve after
consulting with Secretary of State
Barker, the only other member of the
board of pardons in the city. The
states chief executive says he should
ers all criticisms that may come from
the act.
Case Attracted Attention.
The Ross case attracted considerable
attention over the state when it be-
came known that Judge William A..
Babcock has passed penitentiary SEN
tences on a majority of the members
of the Ross family, necessitating the
taking of the father and mother from
the younger children. For some years
the members of the Ross family have
made Albion their home in the winter,

STRUCK HIGH GRADE ORE.
Word Received by Chas. Smith While
in Grangeville ON Saturday.

Charles Smith received word Satur-
day while in Grangeville from New
some that some rich, high grade ore
had been struck on the workings on
the New York group. This has been
expected for some time from the show
ings in the lower tunnel. The vein on
the New York property has widened
out to seven feet in places as work has
progressed and the ledge in these
places carries value from $12 up. I'm
der these prospects the outlook for the
coming season il working this prop

COMMISSIONERS MAY DECIDE.
Determine What Tax Delinquencies
Will be Forclosed and Those Not to be.

s. o. Tannahill, prosecuting attorney
of Lewis county was in Grangeville
Tuesday on legal business. Recently
he made trip to Boise to attend the
meeting of county prosecutors in that
city to discuss legal matters in connec-
tion with the Interpretation and pro-
cedure as provided by the session laws
of 1913 regarding the foreclosure of
delinquent tax certificates. In the
case of tax delinquencies the property
involved in many instances is of no
value, or not of sufficient value to
justify the expense of legal action of
foreclosure as provided by law. 1t was
determined at the meeting that the
county commissioners have the power
in their various counties to determine
what shall be foreclosed. Out of $50
delinquencies over in Lewis county, Mr..
Tannahill states that it will be decided
to foreclose only so. Similar action
will betaken by the county commission
ers in Idaho county at a meeting to
be convened soon for that purpose.

GOVERNOR ALEXANDER ISSUES
REPR|EVE TO MRS. ]. D. ROSS

while III the summer the family lived
on a ranch. Lee Ross and Orville Dun
can, the step-son, burglarized a store.
The stolen goods were found in the
Ross home. Charges of burglary and
receiving stolen gools were laid by the
state against members of the family.
The five were tried and convicted of
the respective charges. Judge Babcock
sentenced them. At the time Mrs. Ross
had babe at her breast. Arrange
ments were made to care for the baby
and other children at the children
home. When the prisoners arrived in
Boise, accompanied by a travelling
guard from the penitentiary, the baby
was taken from Mrs. Ross and she was
incarcerated in the women s ward at
the penitentiary. Under the reprieve
she will be liberated.
Governor Takes all Blame.

1t is reported that the Elk CITY
Dredging Co., headed by Mr.. Lunga Of
Spokane, will have a new dredge of
capacity and equipped with the most
modern machinery to replace the pres
ent dredge that never was a success
since its installation six years ago. The
company owns large tract of the
meadow on American river near Elk
City, which ground was again thorough
ly tested last year by the keystone

to be the most uniform ground in gold

cuted to establish the extent of the ore

This is the most important news from
that promising district since the fam
Gus strike made by Judge Hazlitt last
summer. The activities in the camp
and the confidence of the owners of
properties suggest a busy and profit
able coming season. Great interest is
developing in mining industries of late
and the coming summer promises to be
boom time. Such showing for the
Elk City district alone suggests big
boom throughout the county at large

sections of the county.

Graceful E\ITS
SneeZe.

Many years ago Oliver Wendell
Holmes waXed fearful over the inabl-
ity of some persons, most persons, to
get out of your house with any degree
of grace and comfort for either them
selves or yourself They want to go
and you want them to go but they don't
know how to manage it. He COM
pared them TO ships which were ready
and waiting to be launched from your
house. 81 have constructed he said.
"a sort of ceremonial incline plane for
such visitors. | lubricate it with GER
tain small phrases and | back them
down it, stern foremost in their native
element, the great outdoors"
Oliver would probably not be sur
prised to know that exits are still be-
ing made in the same old graceless
way. Persons whose visits might be
a sheer joy on until all future visits
become a sheer dread.
At the other end we have the wom-
an, because generally it is a woman,
who jumps up and rushes madly off
just when you are about to
accomplish your clevereSt bon mot.
or who compels you to accept
her adieus when your mouth is full of
hot tea. We have the bromide. such
a perfectly lovely time but alas, a
graceful exit is not forthcoming.

make two.
Just as in the case cited is the old
theory that farmers boys leave home

needless anxiety and distress. Liter

without end. even unto songs about
the COWS in the barnyard and chick
ems on the roost. which the farmers
are always ready to relinquish for the
great white way, is plentiful.
It's all a fake. Cold, hard facts
show that between so and 80 per
cent of farmers boys are farmers.
This shows a greater tendency on the
part of the country boy to follow in
his fathers footsteps than in any 9th
er line of life. Only per cent of
preachers sons choose that profess
sion, 20 per cent of the lawyers sons
are admitted to the bar and 10 per
cent of the doctors sons carry the
medicine kit
In view of these facts, why not let
boys stay on the farm instead of max
ing them leave home as We do in our
literature on that subject? What? The
literature helps to keep the boy on the
farm? You're hopeless. You would
probably say that the elephant and
monkey made two in spite of the
sneeze.

FROM MARCONI
FOR injuries
While Working 465 Feet in Air,
John ]. Carroll Alleges He
Took Hold of Live Wire

Alleging that he suffered. injuries
by reason OF negligent and improper
conduct Of defendant corporation.
John J. Carroll today filed in circuit
court a suit aga inst the MarcOni Wire
less Company in which he asks that
he recover damages in the sum OF
100000.
Carroll is represented by three at
tCrneys. George A. Davis. George 5.
Curry and Charles S. Davis. He al
leges that on August l. 1915, he was
employed at the Kahuku station OF
the Marconi Wireless Company at a
salary OF $40 month The suit al
leges that Carroll was employed as a
rigger and not as an electrical en-
gineer or an experienced operator to
work around wireless apparatus.
II is alleged in the suit that, on
August Z, Carroll was handling GER
tain wires attached to a large mast
and that the work took him to the
top of the mast 465 feet above ground.
While in that position, says the COM
plant, Carroll lost his hold on a CANT
ling line which had been used to
hoist him to the top.
He was then forced to let 60 of the
aerial line which he was holding, and
was told by foreman to take hold
of a certain receiving wire which had
broken and fallen across certain other
wires, alleges the complaint. These
certain other N:res, the complaint
states, were charged with electricity,
but Carroll claims that these wires
could safely be taken hold of, as all
the current had been shut off from
the aerial wires. =.
Carroll further alleges that the cur
rent was never shut off FIN these
wires and that, as a result Of his TAX
ing hold of the wire laying across
them. he was burned on the left arm
and back in i've places. He claims
that now he is permanently injured
and disabled; that he was sick for
three months as a result of the alleg-
ed accident, and that he expended a
large sum of money for medical at
tendance. 49,.

KAIMUKI GOES
Fifteen HOURS
WITHOUT WATER

It was not until after 6 o'clock last
night that residents of Kaimuki,
breathing signs of relief, heard the
rush Of city water into the dry pipes
beneath their respective houses after
an absence of almost Is hours Of the
the liquid necessity.
Trouble at the Kapahulu pumping
plant late Saturday night left the Red
Hill residence district without water
over Sunday and. as result, many a
housewife was forced to abandon her
culinary labcrs and, with her family,
seek relief in downtown restaurants.
Some OF the more enterprising house
holders walked as far as WAIKIKI with
demijohns and pals, which they filled
and brought home.
Shortly before noon a city water
wagon. filled to overlooking, passed
along Waialae road, followed by a
furry of small children with contain
ers, which we're filled by the driver.
Up on the slopes, however, the resi-.
dents failed to benefit.
Many delayed baths we're taken
and faces washed after the repairs at
the pumping plant had been made,
and the water was finally turned on.
Flowers and plants which had droop-
ed in the hot sun during the day were
generously sprinkled and Kaimuki
was happy again. Those persons re-
siding In the. Palolo district had water
a-pfenty all day, their supply coming
from the Seven Sisters springs.
