EXTINCT FNNY TRIBE FOUND IN COURT HOUSE WATER PIPES

Fishing on the court house lawn is
still good as to results, but furnishes
less sport than formerly, as the catch
is always dead when secured. Charles
j. Hemenger Saturday took the place
of Jack Diamond, who is laid up with
a crick in the back, as day janitor at
the court house, and for a time
thought he had a bad case of Jim
jams on account of the queer actions
of the hose, three of which suddenly
ceased to give out a regular flow and
sent forth a little stream that squirt
ed over the sidewalk and caught the
eye of the passerby. An investiga-
ton in each case revealed the trou-
BILE to be caused by the presence of
defunct fish which had been dead for
an indefinite period. The process was
repeated from time to time through
out whole afternoon until a shoal of
about thirty had been taken out. All
were dead and none of them seemed
to be recently deceased. Since that

time he has not been called upon to
perform the last sad rites on any of
them, but others in the same part of
town claim to have found traces of
the same shoal in the water 1t is
understood that Jack Diamond was a
true sport and promptly discounted
the achievement of Hemenger by cit
ing an instance where he had caught
twice as many.
1t is understood, however, that the
city is going out of the fish business
as soon as the supply now in the wa
ter pipes have been disposed of. The
new pipe to the mains has been laid,
the reservoir is now being cleaned
and screen has been placed over the
intake to prevent even a minnow get
ting in. The game of parlor fishing
will therefore be discontinued within
very short time 1t has been sug-
gested that those depending on the
municipality for fish lay in a
good supply before they are all gone.

DAKOTA FARMERS ARE
LEANING TO WILSON
Believe He Managed Foreign Affairs
Well-High Price of Labor in the
Dakota Wheat Fields.

That South Dakota farmers are
leaning toward President Wilson be-
cause they are convinced that he has
guided the country through a danger
GUS period without war, is the declar-
alton of Wilfred Eden of Kimberly,
who returned last week from that
state where he played in the l. c.
baseball league. Mr. Eden says that
times are hard in the Dakotas, the
crops having been seriously injured
by the drought and hot winds. He says
that harvest hands have already join
ed the 1. W. W. there and that they
are taking advantage of the demand
for labor to insist on four dollars a
day and eight hours work. This, ow-
ing to the short crops, the farmers are
scarcely able to pay. They are oppos-
ed to war and think that the admins
tration policy has been for the best
Mr.. Eden is not Democrat or a sup
porter of President Wilson. He made
a record of $40 in the league games
as a batter and says that his expert
ences were altogether satisfactory

KIMBERLY BAND WILL
REORGANIZE AT ONCE
Was Formed Seven Years AgO-Direc-
tor VIII Be Hired and Practice Will
Be Held Regularly.

Kimberly is to have band at once,
the preliminary organization having
been formed Monday night by the cleo
ton of Carl Ridgeway as president,
Ernest Campbell as vice-president,
Otis Emanuel as secretary, and How
ard Johnson as treasurer.
About twenty have signified a de-
sire to enter the organization, practi-
cally all of whom are more or less
proficient musicians. Professor Geo.
Cox, former leader of the Tintic, Utah,
Concert Band, and the Cox brothers
orchestra, is in Kimberly from Ameri-
can Falls, and hopes to make arrange
ments whereby he can secure the
leadership of the band and a number
OF private pupils. The band, however,
will go ahead in any event. Kimberly
organized band seven years ago and
this organization has met from time to
time for every notable occasion since.
Last year it did good service at the
Booster fair. 1t has been decided by
the members and others who are mus
ically Inclined to keep it going here
after and to practice regularly a cou-
pie of times a week. A number of
members of the original band are still
in the town and will take part in the
new organization.

KIMBERLY MINOR GETS
INTO u. S. CAVALRY
Claims to Be Seventeen and Then
Raises Age Year-His Father APP
plies For His Discharge.

Samuel McAdams of Kimberly, has
taken up with the war department the
matter of the enlistment of his son.
Robert f. McAdams, who joined the
United States army here last week,
while under eighteen years of age,
without his fathers consent Mr.. Nc
Adams says that his son is less than
seventeen years of age and that while
he would not object to the enlistment
of the boy, were he sure that it would
result satisfactorily, he fears that Ro-
bert is too young to know his own
mind and might grow tired and desert.
Young McAdams tried to join Com
pany D when it was called to the
front, but was tarned down because
of his youth.
Corporal James Riley, who has
charge of the recruiting tsation, said
that young McAdams came to the sta
ton and represented that he lacked
only couple of months of being eigh-
teen years old, and that his father
was willing to sign a consent for his
going. The proper paper was made
out and sent to Kimberly Tuesday.
The next day, according to Corporal
Riley, the young man came back and
said that he had made a mistake about
his age, that he had figured incor-
rectly and that he was over eighteen
years old Corporal Riley says he
held McAdams off until Friday, when
not hearing from his father, and as
suming that his repeated representa-
tions relative to his age were correct
he accepted him. The young man
weighs 165 pounds and is said to look
as old as he represented himself to be-
His father will send on the first APP
plication in which he signed himself
as seventeen years old and will take
other legal steps to get him out of the
service.
The young man was assigned to the
cavalry at Fort Logan, Colorado, and
left for that place Friday evening.

APhIS HELP TO
SEED SAYS ETTFR
Clover Raiser Declares Thai
HOneydew Does No Harm
SAYS 1T RELIEVES SEED OF EX.
IRA SWEETNESS.
Would Let Field Ripen and After Cut
ting Would Let 1t Become Very Dry
Rain Would Help.

Farmers who are cutting their clo-
yer now because of the presence of
honey dew through the activity Of
green aphis, are making a mistake, as
the honey dew does not hurt the seed
said o. NJ. Etter today. "There has
always been some green aphis in the
clover fields and all the farmers who
have been here a few years know it
if they stop to think The best crop of
clover seed that l have raised during
the six years that l have been growing
seed was produced two years ago and
it had more aphis and more honey
dew in it than I have seen in any field
this year While not so universal as
this year, the aphis were worse in
spots two years ago. All that those
who have honey dew need to do is to
allow the clover to get ripe before cut
ting and then let it get thoroughly
dry after cutting. So far from think
ing that the honey dew Injuries the
seed l believe that it is benefit, as it
relieves the sugary substance which
should be taken up by bees. 1t would
be profitable to raise the seed and
thresh it and then wash the honey
dew off, and let it dry. A good rain
after cutting would improve it a lot
A man was in today and told me thai
he was going to cut his crop which
was not yet ripe l told him that that
would give him SIS an acre for il
and let it stand, and l would make
money on it. Those who cut the crop
now are making a big mistake

the matter, Mr.. Williams said that
nothing had been done with reference
to the leasing so far as he knew and
that he had not leased it, but that he
might make deal later if things were
satisfactory

IDAHO GETS MUCH FROM
THE GOOD ROADS LAW
Nearly a Million Dollars Under Regu-
lar Provisions and 81 100000 Through
the Forestry Section.

In a letter to THE TIMES, dated
July 81, Congressman Addison T..
Smith explains the new good roads
law recently enacted by congress.
In order to obtain the benefits Of
this act the state must by act of the
legislature assent to its terms, but un-
til the legislature meets the governor
can assent The state must also con-
tribute at least an equal amount of
money, material or labor toward the
construction of any proposed road.
The money appropriated by this act
<xill be apportioned among the various
states according to three factors: One
third in the ratio which the area of
the state bears to the total area of all
the state; one-third according to the
population, and one-third according to
the mileage of rural delivery and star
routes compared with the total mile
age of such routes in the United
States
Under the provisions of this law
Idaho will get $62,750 for 1916; $125,-
900 for 1917; $18S250 for 1918; $751;
900 for 1919, and $313,750 for 1920, or
a total of $941 200 above the forest
reserve. In addition to this, a fund
, for the construction of roads, within
\or partly within forest reserves, to be
spent under the supervision of the
secretary of agriculture, will leave
$140,000 a year available for the next
ten years, for this state. This last
provision was forced into the law by
an organization of western members
of which Congressman Taylor of Colo
rado was chairman and Congressman
Smith secretary

GROUND BROKEN FOR
METHODIST CHURCH
Cement Contract VIII Be Let Shortly
and Bids For Main Building Called
For Soon.

Ground for the basement of the new
Methodist church was broken Satur-
day afternoon and much progress has
been made. The contract for the base
ment was let to H. l.. Koeppen and
the teams at work are under the SUI
pervision Of his foreman, George Will
lis.
The contract for the building has
not been let, nor has a call for bids
been issued Rev. c. l.. Bent said yes
terday that the matter was discussed
at a meeting of the committee Monday
night and that a call for bids for the
cement foundation would be made
within few days by B. Morgan Mes
bit, the architect, and that a call for
bids for the structure itself would be
made couple of weeks later as soon
as plans were drafted. Rev. Bent said
that the reason why the plans had not
been drafted, was the inability of the
committee to find out until last week
whether lots adjoining the church
could be secured or not
The only detail agreed upon so far
is the determination to extend the new
building fifteen feet behind the old
one. si..G &

MENACE PLANT AT AURORA
DAMAGED BY BOMB EXPLOSION

SPRINGFIELD MO.-Three bombs
exploded beneath the floor of the Men
ace Publishing plant at Aurora, Mo
at AIS o'clock Saturday morning
slightly damaged the publishing COM
pany plant and set fire to a mass OF
copies of The Menace, an anti-Catho-
lie publication, just off the press. The
flames were soon extinguished
The Menace is housed in a two
story brick structure 100 by 100 feet
in dimensions. The explosion set fire
to the papers fresh from the presses
but the flames were extinguished
quickly. From the manner in which
the bombs were placed it is believed
an attempt was made to destroy all
the publishing company's presses.

With a growing list Of candidates
filed for certain offices, the Jefferson
club at its meeting tonight at the Odd
Fellows hall will still be confronted
with the problem of filling its legisla-
tive ticket, while the Republicans in
spite of their caucus Monday night are
still shy in the same direction. Chair
man E. NJ Wolfe of the Jefferson club
committee for recommendations said
this morning that while the members
OF the committee had consulted with
one another and had held one meeting,
the situation was not yet clear and
they wanted the assistance of all the
Elub members tonight in order to Sc
cure a legislative ticket and that he
hoped that every member of the club
would attend.
At a conference of Republicans held
at the office of w. P. Guthrie Monday
night, recommended the following can
didates to fill vacancies on the Re-

MONTH MORE IN TEXAS
Estimate of Capt. Wilcox of Co. ID, i'm
His Latest Letter From the
Mexican Border.

Following is a sketch of Captain
Wilcox's letter received by Mrs. Will
cox, dated July 10, 1916:
Eagle Pass, Tex, Elm Greek Bridge
Dear Folks: We are very comfort
ably settled in our new home out on
the plains. We have a very good
post. l will try to show you on the
back of this paper how my camp is
laid out. We have wild hogs, wild
cats, jack rabbits prairie hens, bull
frogs, and a million mosquitoes for
neighbors. The gentleman that lives
on the nearest ranch called on me this
afternoon and invited me up to see
him. Guess L shall go tomorrow. He
is a very nice fellow to meet, as all
the white men are. Everyone is very
nice to us and we can have anything
they have got I expect if nothing
new turns up to be here a month.
We have shower bath just a little
way from camp, but we send a man
along with a gun every time a man
goes. One man is on guard while the
other one has his bath and then they
change off. Seems foolish, but it is
better to be safe than sorry. No man
is allowed out of camp after D. m.
Seems funny to see every man car
rying a revolver on his hip but they
never know when they may need it.
(My arm is beginning to itch some
thing fierce, guess my vaccination is
working all right. Had begun to think
it wasn't going to take hold, but it is
a sure go this time). There is a
large steel bridge and two trestles
that we have to look after. A part
of a company of regulars has been
here for a month. 1 have one officer
and 23 men with me. The others are
staying in camp for rife practice; ex-
pect to have them all out here soon.
Every man has about 200 cartridges
with him all the time. Also the mag
azine in his rifle full. There is a coal
mine about a thousand yards from
here one way, and a Mexican village
of about 200, all mine workers, ex-
cept the boss and storekeeper. In the
other directions there is a ranch,
about a mile away. They call this
Elm Creek Bridge; don't think
there are any elm trees anywhere
around here; guess that is why they
gave it that name. We were the first
to get out on border duty. All Of our
battalion is out, but the other COM
panies had farther to go, so we have
the distinction Of being the first mill
tia company to be sent out from
camp. 1t is getting dark so must
close and go to bed. Will write as
often as L can. Love to both of you.

TO MOVE FISH HATCHERY
Establishment at Swanton to Be TAX.
en- to Sandy Point.

Swanton, July 21.-The govern
ment fish hatchery, which has been in
operation at Swanton for a good
many years, is to be moved to West
Swanton and located on what is
known as Sandy Point. This was de-
cided during the visit of Henry
O'Malley of Washington, in charge of
fish culture for the United States bu-
reau of fisheries, and by A. H. Dins-
more, superintendent of the govern
ment fish propagation in Vermont.
The chief reason for the change is
the uncertainty of the present water
supply and the growing difficulty in
running the government boats in the
river. John Niles, local superintend-
ent, will begin Monday to make ar
rangements for moving the building
to the new site. The structure will
be taken down in sections. hauled to
West Swanton by boat and then set
up as it stands today. The plant will
be near the river and lake shore fish
ing grounds, where the pike are tax
en- in the spring, and the distribution
of fry will be much easier either by
water or rail. The new auxiliary fish
hatchery at Burlington can be better
supplied from this point
