DUMPS BOOZE IN SEWER
OLD WINE AND BOURBON WERE
DESTROYED BY THE OWNER.
Was Part of Bethune Stock on Hand
When Dispensary Law Went Into
Effect Several Years Ago.

Effect Several Years Ago.
Mr.. F. Bethune, a former we'll
known citizen of Dawson who nov
resides in Talbotton, spent several
days in the city the past week. While
here he leased his old saloon building
to a party for term of years, includ-
ing the cellar, which has been used
by Mr.. Bethune to store the stock
of liquors he had on hand when the
law creating the diSpenSary went in
to effect. This made it necessary for
him to make some disposition of the
liquors so that the new tenant could
use the cellar, and as Mr.. Bethune
has undergone change of sentiment
in reference to the whiskey business
he did not desire to sell the whiskey,
neither did he wish to store it else
where. He decided he would dis
pose of it in manner to do the
least harm. He, therefore, called in
carpenter and ordered him to tear
down the wall enclosing the spirits,
which was built when it was stored
as a guarantee that it would remain
where he placed it. When the en-
closure was down he had the heads
of the barrels knocked out and the
contents of them emptied into a sew
er, and some of the fine wines and
WHISTLES for which Bethune's place
was famous in years gone by were
soon mingling with the water of tan
yard creek.
When the news of Mr.. Bethune's
act became noised about the streets
there were many groans of disap-
pointment at his wanton waste of
time-mellowed wines and bourbon,
and even a pious prohibitionist re-
marked that he certainly would have
been proud of the privilege of saw
ing a little for medicinal purposes,
and even at that moment his looks
portrayed the fact that he might be
lust a little ailing."

Starts the Political Pot to Boiling.
Year Before Office Is Vacant.
The municipal political pot is not
only simmering, it is beginning to
boil good and strong, and has reach
ed almost a white heat, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the term of Mayor
J. NJ. Bell will not expire for year
yet.
Last week DR.. Dean announced
that he would soon make formal an
nouncement for mayor, and those in
terested in city politics were imme-
diately stirred to activity and plans
for an opposition ticket were dis
cussed.
There are several of Dawson s
we'll known citizens mentioned in
connection with the mayors race on
the proposed new ticket Among
them are Capt. D. G. Pickett, ex-
Mayor F. NJ. McNulty, Messrs. j. z.
Hollingsworth, T. S. Martin, J. A.
Shields. J. D. Weaver, w. A. Baldwin
and others. Some of these gentle
men are in a receptive mood and one
or more announcements for mayor
with a full ticket may be expected at
anv time. While some of them have
expressed themselves as having no
desire to enter the race, of course
even they might be overpersuaded by
their friends to give their consent
to enter.
Political prognosticators say that
the municipal race for the year 1916
will be one of the livest and most
exciting campaigns witnessed IN
dawson in many years.

SALMON ENTERS
STRONG PROTEST

The city of Salmon proposes to get
relief from the Gilmore & Pittsburg
railroad. built and operating from Arm
stead, Mont, to Salmon, judging from
the complaint of the citizens of that
city as placed before the public utili-
ties commission during it's hearing at
Salmon. Members Of the commission
returned from the trip last night. Aside
from hearing the complaint of the citt-
zens of Salmon against the railroad
the commission also heard a complaint
against the municipal water works
system owned and opened by the city.
AT present there are two telephone
companies operating in Salmon and the
citizens asked the commission to force
these companies to connect their lines
so that people could talk from one 10
the other.
The government has advertised for
bids for daily mail service to Salmon.
At present there is only tri-weekly SER
vice This service, the citizens set out
in their complaint to the commission,
does not reasonably accommodate the
traffic. passenger, freight and United
States mail business transported by It."
It is charged the train schedule Is SO
arranged that traffic and mail service
are unreasonably delayed; that the
trains arrive in Salmon between and
8 o'clock in the evening and depart at
8 o'clock the next morning; that these
hours do not allow the travelling public
time in which to transact business and
are very bad for the answering of COR
respondence and mailing it,
The passenger rates charged by the
railroad are held to be unreasonable
and excessive, based as they are at )
cents per mile. 1t is held that the rate
should not be higher than cents per
mile. The rules of the company are
also classed as unreasonable.
The passenger cars used by the rail-
road are classed in the complaint as
old, secondhand unsanitary and un-
safe, thereby causing needless risk to
the life, health and comfort of the trav-
cling public" The fencing constructed
| by the railroad along the right of way
is branded as inadequate to restrain
stock from getting onto the railroad.

SUGAR BEET SEED
IS BEING RAISED
Settlers on King Hill Tract
Are Experimenting on
New Industry.

Another industry, that of raising
sugar beet seed, is being advanced in
Idaho on the King Hill project with
every indication of success. This in
formation was brought back from the
project by Charles f. Koelsch, who
spent yesterday making a trip over the
entire project and there learned from
B. p. Shawhan, the manager, that Is
farmers there had been induced by the
Great Western Beet Sugar company
to try the experiment. Mr.. Koelsch
states that the beets planted for seed
look fine and the farmers are sanguine
over the outlook for good crop of
seed
Since the war the supply of beet
seed in this country has been scarce, as
formerly the supply came from Ger
many. In some sections a little was
raised and in Idaho a few farmers
near Idaho Falls raised seed success
fully upon a small scale, according
to the information given Mr.. Koelsch.
Mr.. Shawhan. knowing the opportunity,
visited the head of the beet sugar
company at Salt Lake and induced
them to interest the farmers. with the
result that the mother beet, which is
planted to secure the seed, has been
furnished in various quantities to Is
farmers on the tract and they are
making experiments which at present
point to success, and which will like
ly mean the adding of thousands of
dollars annually to the income of
Idaho farmers from soil products.
Alfalfa on the tract, Mr.. Koelsch
states, is at present from II to 16
inches high, potatoes are doing fine
and it is expected new potatoes will
be shipped from the tract the latter
part of May. Potato culture, Mr.
Koelsch states, is being carried on in
a scientific manner. The project man

Fruit Growers Are eau

Cooling Moth.

Fruit growers are cautioned to spray
for cooling moth by State Horticultural
Inspector Guy Graham, who issued a
notice to that effect today. This no.
tice contains the directions that
should be followed to make the spray
effective. He said:
THE prospect is excellent for an ex-
tremely large crop of fruit in Idaho
this season. While the frost did some
damage, where orchards We're located
on low ground, most trees Will be so
heavy that they will require thinning.
In order to avoid the great loss

season the fruit growers should take
particular pains to spray thoroughly ct
the proper time. While it will require
at lease three arsenate of lead sprays
for the cooling moth l consider the
calyx spray should be applied between
now and the 18th of the month. Use
pounds of paste or pounds of pow
