that cotton..was very low, and every
one was urged to buy a bale," to
keep the price up to ten cents a pound
Now the price of raw cotton is over 20
cents a pound and the predictions are
that it will go to rs cents.
The Dry Goods Economist says:
''This last year the worlds supply
OF cotton was two and a quarter mill
lion bales short of the amount con-
sumed. Since the production of linen
has been curtalled to a large extent,
the use of cotton has increased accord
ingly."
The Textile World Journal says:s
''The week ending June 6. 1916. there
was exported from the port of New
York alone 10. 1872. 442 yards of cotton
goods. valued at 81, 543. l27. As this
was the amount shipped out of this
country in one weeK and from one
shipping port, some idea of the magni.
tude of the export of cotton goods may
be surmised.
'The supply is not equal to the de.
mand nor will it be for some time to
come. This is the reason for the high
cost of cotton. AS to the reason for
the supply being short. there are
many. Not the least of these is the
war, which so many people seem in.
clined to belittle, though it is the mos
terrible and gigantic. calamity that the
world has ever known. The effects of
the wholesale destruction that is going
on in Europe are bound to be. felt
throughout the world for some time to
come.
Wool and leather are in much the
same position as cotton. Prices can
not help but advance and we must face
this condition and prepare for il in
stead of trying to explain 1t away or
dodge it. The old law of supply and
demand cannot be sidestepped very
easily,"

SHIPPERS ADVISED
TO LOAD HEAVIER

Heavier loading of equipment to re-
lieve the freight car shortage is urged
as one of the most effective methods of
relief by General Agent J. W. Nicely.
monds, of the Pacific Fruit Express Co.
ut is now up to the shipper to help
US reduce the shortage. says Mr.. Nc
Clymonds. "The carriers have done
everything they possibly could to re-
lieve the situation. They have run
empties in special trains from Chicago
to California. They have even placed
special agents at all large loading and
receiving stations in an endeavor to get
cars loaded and unloaded promptly.
But they have reached their limit in
this direction now.
"a great deal of this shortage can
be avoided if shippers will load their
commodities more heavily. In many
cases. of course. they are not to blame
for shipments being loaded to the mini
mum weight, as large number of re-
ceivers of perishable commodities in
ordering car, simply request mini
mum car. If eastern buyers in order
ing will request shippers to furnish
them with maximum instead of mini
mum cars, the benefit will be wide
spread.
"As an example, take the spud busi-
ness. The minimum weight is 80, 900
pounds. Spuds in refrigerator cars can
be loaded to $4,000 or 10000 pounds
without damage to the shipment. If
this extra loading were INDUCED in,
four cars could be made to do the work
of five, or in other words, the potatoes
could be handled in one-fifth less re-
frigerators than are now furnished.
"The apple people also load 80, 600
minimum. Apples. which are boxed,
could very easily be loaded to 0,000
pounds or better. This in handling a
crop which would take 5000 cars at a
10000 pound minimum would enable
the carrier to move it with about 1000
less cars. The same holds true of many
other commodities such as casabas.
sweet potatoes, celery and other veget-
bles.

COTTON GOODS PRICE
ADVANCES STEADILY

The price of cotton goods. is showing
a steady increase, according to dry
goods merchants. The condition in this
leading item in the dry goods business
as well as the high cost of leather
goods. is producing stunning problems
for merchants. according to c. o. Hue

reasons for the increase.
Prices on all kinds of cotton goods
are advancing and will continue to
advance for some time. The best au-

there is nothing to indicate a drop
then. Ii seems but short while age

z YOUNG F|ENDS
MURDER BELOVED
CARSON TEACHER
MYSTERY FULLY EXPLAINED BY
CAPTURE AND CoHFEssIoM
OF TWO BOYS, II AND IL,
WHOM HE CAUGHT STEALING
Special to The independent.


TWIN FALLS. Ida, Aug. 23.-Two
small boys, Harold Loyelace and Lynn
Lovelacc. II and u years old, rcspcc-
| lively, We're the murderers of Prcfes.
sor F. Thomas Hamill. the beloved
vice-principal of inc larson City High
School, who was mysteriously slain
one day last week at his homestead
about 45 miles south OF Twin Falls.
where he was doing some work during
vacation.
After a chase OF l2O miles over the
rough mountain country. the fugitivcs
were caught and proved 10 be the two
small boys. They sullenly confessed.
During the absence of Professor
Hamill, who had been called to Roger
son on an errand. the boys were rob
bing his cabin. On his return, as he
approached, one OF the young liends
deliberately shot him with his own
rifle, taken from the cabin.
The rifle was loaded with soft-noacd
bullets. The shot struck the unrOrtu-
nate man in the right eye, passing
through his head and horribly mutilat-
ing it,
The young devils then completed the
looting of the cabin, taking the gun,
provisions and a small sum of money
which they found on the body.
| They took Mr.. Hamilrs horse and
wagon and began wild and hazardous
ride over the mountains. Picking up
! their trail, the sheriff and his posse
were. in close pursuit. The chase
! lasted six days. covering a distance of
I20 miles.
When captured they readily admit
ted the awful deed and described 1t i'm
detail, seeming tn think they had done
I something smart. They were brought
TO Twin Falls and were duly charged
by the coroner's jury with murder in
| the first degree.
The boys trip was marked by rob
berries all the way. and when over
! taken they had in their possession
eight guns and several revolvors which
they had stolen from ranch houses
along the road.
Lack OF parental training. reading
outlaw stories, smoking of cigarettes
and other habits causing total depravi-
ty, are embodied in the explanation of
! the horrid crime. The boys do not
realize the enormlty OF the deed and
( regard themselves as heroes.
Professor Hamilrs body has been
shipped to Ligonier, Pa, the home of
his parents. for interment.
Had they been few years older.
they might have been lynched without
ceremony by the furious citizens Pro.
fessor Hamill was very popular and
useful citizen.
