I'm DEH n VT NlFNINy NNOINlFNlN
AND LITTLE BABY 49,
Side by side in the little mOrgUe at
Lake Forest today lay the body of
man of "A, a woman of p and babe
of months. They all died of pistol
shots, apparently fired by the man.
The bodies we're found yesterday
on the grounds of the Ontwentsia
club by two young society girls TAX
ing a horseback ride.
Their names were not known in
Lake Forest, where they had been
boarding for a short while. His hat,
bought at a store in Flint, Mich, bore
the initials IL. A. c." and he had
spoken of working in the Buick auto
factory at Flint. From this it is be-
Heved that he is Lloyd A. Crapen,
who quit the Buick factory some
time ago.
The woman was found lying by the
bridal path of the club, shot through
the head. The husband, stretched be-
side her, was shot through the head
and the revolver lay beside him. A
little way off was the baby, a bullet
in its little brain.
The people never divulged their
names, except that she called him
Lloyd" and he called her Norma"
They said they were on their vaca-
ton, but seemed possessed Of scant
funds.

LAND BRINGS TOP
PRICE AT SALE SATURDAY
Approximately 1900 Acres of Land
Sold at Good Prices.

The sale of state land in Caldwell
Saturday was a great success. The
bidding was lively. Good prices were
obtained. In only one or two in
stances were tracts sold for as little as
the appraised value.
Approximately 400 acres of land
were sold at auction. Prices of $4,000
and $500 per acre were realized for
Day, who conducted the sale was
greatly pleased with the results OBJ
tanned. The record at the February
sale was $500 per acre.
Only slightly more than half of the
lands listed this time were disposed of
at this sale. The average price ap-
proximatel SIS to SCI. Unlike the
other sale there was conspicuous
absence of values in the $40. $50 and
500 classes.
Held at City Hall.
AS the courtroom at the county
building was in use, permission was
secured to hold the sale in the audi
torium of the city hall. This change
caused slight delay in starting the
sale, the bidding beginning about
l0:45. 1t was after 1890 before the
last tract on the list had been offered
Attendance at the sale was large
but the crowd dwindled to about 81
spectators and bidders near the close
Bidding was spirited at times and a
other times Jagged perceptibly.
The tracts which brought the fancy
prices are located about three ant
four miles south of Parma and south
west of Notus. .ts 't.

Marker Unveiled by Children.
The marker was unveiled by the
children of the members of the local
chapter D. A. R. While a squad Of
Boy Scouts stood at attention the flag
slowly slipped from the granite seal
and revealed the marker which will
speak to future generations of oul
reverence for the pioneer.
A bevy of little children silently
passed before the seat, each leaving
small spray of apple blossoms as
silent tribute to those who had pass
ed beyond the horizon where the ole
trail was lost to view.

The Van Deusen report seems to be
white elephant on the hands of the
county commissioners. After months
of patient waiting they finally got the
report Now they do not know what
to do with it.
Wednesday the board of county
commissioners met for the purpose of
passing on the report. They decided
by resolution not to accept the report
at the present time but fixed June 5th
as the date when public hearinr will
be held. All former county officials
will be given an opportunity to express
their opinion on the report of the Van
Deusen audit.
Date of Hearing Fixed.
In order to pass up the responsible
ty of accepting the report the board
| of county commissioners passed the
following resolution Wednesday,:
"In the matter of the report of Clar-
ence Van Deusen, special auditor of
the books and accounts of Canyon
county for the years 1o07-1ol4. inclu-
sive. it is ordered that on the 5th day
of June, 1916, 10 a. M. at the COM
missioners' Office in Caldwell. be the
time and place for consideration OF
said report, and that the county clerk
cause notice to be served, either per-
sonally or by registered letter, upon
each person, firm or corporation
shown by said report as owing money
to Canyon county, to appear on or be-
fore said date and file objections ir
writing Gf any they have) why sait
report should not be accepted, or il
said report be accepted as correct, to
pay to the county treasure the sun
shown by said report to be due ane
owing to Canyon county"
Errors in Report.
There are a number of grave error
in the report. Former officials who ar,
accused of having failed to account fo
!. all money received have been checking
up the report since its publication
; These officials have found numerou
errors. These errors have been point
ed out. In fact the errors are so nu
merous that the board of commission
ers do not care to accept the repor
at the present time.
} Objections to the report will be file
by former county officials. These OF
r fcials will probably present their OBJ
jections at the public hearings to b
held June 5th.

OvER-IRRIGATION IS
MENACE TO IDAHO
Adapted from Poster by the Utah Ag
ricultural College.


Over-irrigation is menace to Idaho
because:
l. Smaller crop yields are obtained
for each unit of water used.
2. More plant food is taken up by
the plant for each pound of crop.
3. The quality of the crops is great
A. Straw is produced at the expense
of grain.
S. Plant food is washed out of the
soil.
6. Lower-iying lands become wa
ter-logged.
7. Other dry lands are cheated OF
irrigation water.
8. The extension of the irrigated
acre is hindered.
9. A wholesome community spirit
is lowered wherever water is wasteful'
ly used.
Idaho's future depends on the eco
nomical use of irrigation water.
Idaho's irrigated area can be doubled
by the more economical use of the wa
ter now taken out by our canals ane
reservoirs.
Farmers! Take heed!
The Tribune is indebted to Judge J
M. Thompson for the above-it Il
worthy of being heralded wide an'
far, being true wherever water is uset
for irrigation.
