IN FAVOR OF
THE HIGHW AY
w. S. Parkhurst Would
Help the North

| w. S. Parkhurst GARNER BID, re-
publican candidate for state auditor,
arrived in the city on last Saturday
Evenings train from Lewiston. and
remained over Sunday While in the
city he conferred with the leaders in
the republican ranks and met many
of our people in the interests of his
campaign.
Mr.. Parkhurst is president of the
Idaho Chamber of Commerce, is edit
or of the Richfeld Recorder and
owns one of the best developed farms
in the rich Richfield district of the
state, farm that he developed from
sage brush areas under the Carey act
to highly producing tract. He is a
believer IN livestock as a side line to
successful farming and has special
lied in the growing of Hampshire
hogs
Mr.. Parkhurst's familiar title of
Farmer Bill'' developed as the re-
suit of work With his pen in contrib
Iuting a number of articles to eastern
magazines and periodicals dealing
with farm life and its problems in
Idaho. The articles attracted wide
spread attention through the Curtis
publications. 1t naturally follows that
one who has devoted such close at
tention to the problems of the farm
as his articles would indicate should
be a good roads advocate. Mr.. Park
hurst is already in the field using his
fullest energies to develop interest in
the north and south highway, says
the Lewiston Tribune. Speaking on
that subject, he said:

that there will be united plan that
will mean victory. This state high
way means step for the state de-
velopment along definite lines and
every citizen should approve 1t. Such
highway will benefit every part of
the state and it should be given our

BROTHERS MURDER
IDAHO RANCHER
YOUTHFUL THIEVES SHOT DOWN
MAN WITH HIS OWN GUN
AFTER ROBBING HIM.
Eleven and TweIve-Year-Oid Boys
Confess to Brutal Crime After
Being Caught In Act OF
Robbing Rancher.

Twin Falls, Idaho.-Lynn and Har-
old Lovelace, IL and IL years of age,
were held by a coroner's jury here
for the murder of Prof. Thomas Ham
i'll, teacher from Carson, New, whose
body was found near his homestead,
forty-five miles south of Twin Falls.
The two boys were apprehended
near Buhl, twenty miles west of Twin
Falls, Sunday evening, six days arter
the murder They had travelled about
120 miles with Hamills horse and
light wagon, sleeping in the sage
brush without bedding and thinly clad.
They had with them supplies which
they had taken from HamilPs house,
also eight guns and revolvers of var
ious kinds. They also had stolen guns
and other things from ranches along
the way.
Upon arrest the boys confessed the
crime, admitting that they had robbed
Professor Hamilrs house week ago
Sunday while he was absent. Return
Ing the next day Professor Hamill
went to neighboring ranch where
the Lovelace boys were and forced
them to return the stolen property
He started to take the boys to another
neighbor, but they escaped.
The boys returned to Professor
Hamill's home, arriving there before
him, armed with rifles, and awaited
his return Hamill ordered the boys
away, but they retreated into the
house and covered him with HIS own
guns. He parleyed and asked for
food, and after they came out Lynn
stood guard over him while Harold
entered the cabin to get him some
bread. Hamill grabbed the younger
boy
Lynn ordered Harold to shoot. The
bullet passed so close to Harold, whom
Professor Hamill held in front of him
as shield, that it tore hole in the
boys undergarment, after which 1t
struck Professor Hamill in the eye,
penetrating the brain. Professor Ham
i'll died instantly. The boys kicked
the body aside and then left In
wagon and drove 12O miles over a
trackless country in six days, camping
out at night. They were headed for
Lebanon, Ore, where they said a
grandfather lived. Their stepfather
went to Colorado two weeks ago,
leaving them with neighbors from
whom they ran away.

Washington.-An unexpected Demo

resulted in the immigration bill being
taken up in defiance of the Demo
cratic caucus and opened the way for
efforts to displace the revenue bill
as unfinished business, an action
which might indefinitely prolong the

Ten Democratic senators voted with
the solid Republican minority to take
up the immigration bill.

emily has passed.

names were withheld, alleged that

financially on militiamen and hardship

PREDICT SMALL CROP.
Worlds Wheat Yield Set at rs Per
Cent Less by Experts.

Rome.-The International Institute
of Agriculture reports that with har-
vesting virtually nearly completed in
most European countries, indications
are that the 1916 worlds wheat sup
ply will be almost 25 per cent less
than last years.
It is pointed out, however. that 1915
was a bumper year and that the new
crop will be nearly up to the average
between 1900 and 1918 Harvesting
on large scale is now limited to
North America, Great Britain, Rus
sis and Scandinavia
The worlds barley crop is estimat-
ed at 20 per cent less than last year,
although per cent above the aver
age. The oats yield is put at 22 per
cent less than in 1915, but Id per
cent above the average.

Tinker, tailor, soldier sailor.
So ran the old nursury rhyme. And
so Hughes is running through the
country. 1t apparently makes no
difference whether his audience is
made up of highly specialized me-
chanics, such as he found at the
great automobile factories of Detroit.
whether it is a huge crowd collected
from the cosmopolitan population of
Chicago, as his hearers were at the
Coliseum, whether they are the farm
ers whom he met in the great agri-
cultural states of the Northwest,
whether they are women endowed
with the franchise and seeking to
grant the same privilege to their sis
ters, or whether they are profession
al men, or political managers, or any
other of the groups whom he has met
since he began his speechmaking
tour. He gets to them all.
Mr.. Hughes is showing varied
and highly sympathetic personality
as he goes about the country. He is
forceful without being didactic. He
is sincere without being fanatical.
He is thoughtful without being dull.
He has a real message for every class
of the people and he never speaks as
to a class. He is addressing him
self to the great American people, of
whatever condition or calling they
may be, and his words, reinforced by
his manner, are reaching the intelli-
gence of the electorate. The people
are reacting to Hughes as they have
reacted to no public speaker in re-
cent years save only Roosevelt.
Hughes is getting to the people
And in consequence the people are
growing more eager for the day to
come when they can get at Wilson.
The Democrats promised in their
1912 campaign to reduce the cost of
living by reducing the tariff. Today,
Notwithstanding the fact that i'm
ports are the greatest in our history
the cost of living is soaring. They
steer clear of that subject in the
platform of 1916. They promised
economy, and their appropriations,
even in times of peace, exceeded all
records in our history by millions
upon millions of dollars This is a
matter of record In the early part
of 1915, with the European war rag
ing and Mexico on the rampage,
they were against preparedness.
They have changed their minds on
that, and several times they have
changed their minds on the degree
of preparedness which should be
provided. They are now making ap-
preparations for preparedness with
reckless and criminal disregard of
the wherewithal to foot the bills.
With the price of everything going
up. they have evidently decided that
the quicker they drain the public
purse by way of taxation, the more
they can buy with the money, and
these appropriations will provide
