BOISE IS AGAIN
! SLIGHTLY SHAKEN
BY EARTHQUAKES
Two Shocks Felt Saturday
Night, Both Very Light
First at 9:04 and Second
at IL 80.

Boise and this section of southwest
ern Idaho recorded two earthquake
shocks last night or three for the week,
Not to be outdone in observing the
customary Saturday night quake, the
first shock arrived exactly at 9s04
O'Clock and the second l1;32 o'clock,
Both We're light but distinct. e. l..
Wells, director of the United States
weather bureau of Boise, was the first
person to report the first shock. He
felt it while in his office on the fourth
floor of the federal building and says
he could not be mistaken. The receiv-
er on his telephone ratified notceably
and there was slight sWaying
The second shock was plainly felt in
the Capital News office. That there
could be no mistake with regard TO the
quake having taken place was evil
denced by the fact telephone calls from
several parts of the city were receiv-
ed from persons who announced they
had also felt II. Electric lights swayed
from the effects of the second shock
or quiyer-for it was more like a CULVER
than anything else. It could not be
classed as violent. Many people, how
ever, We're surprised to learn there had
been two shocks. They felt neither of
them.
Within the past two weeks three
earthquakes have been recorded in
Boise and this territory. Two weeks
ago there was a distinct shock on Sat
urday night. Last fall there was quite
violent shock also on Saturday
night. Friday night Of this week there
was also very distinct quake Dishes
Were ratified, clocks stopped, chimneys
broken down and rafting of window
panes. None OF these things happen
ed last night with the two quakes ex-
perienced, for they We're very milo,

Now Believed That Apple
Crop Is Not Entirely Lost
Hopeful View of the
Situation.

A more optimistic view of the dam
age to the fruit crop Of southwestern
Idaho is now being taken by both
growers and buyers. Not only do many
of them believe that the crop is not
entirely lost but not a few are conf :
dent many of the apples and perhaps
some of the prunes will be saved. c.

for 100000 berry boxes. Yesterday he
received an order for 10000 boxes from
one grower alone and other orders are
expected daily. Those operating
spraying outfits who cancelled their
orders for spray compounds when it
was feared frosts had killed all the
fruit, have re- submitted their orders.
They expect TO be called upon to spray

states Democratic activity and
puts on each and every Democrat
the obligation to 60 out and vote
the whole ticket from Woodrow

Republican campaign workers in the

Of this S25,000 committed to the
authority and discretion Of Chair
mon Taylor and Treasurer Mclean.
Hence their conclusion that a ma
jor portion of it is intended for SER
vice in forwarding the candidacy of
Hooper for the Senate. If any part
of this $25,00O has thus far escaped
the prying eyes of Republicans in
the First, Second and Third districts
the inference is that it has been d.
verted to use in the big drive
against McKellar.
Republican national headquarters
have heard that McKellar, Moon
and Sims can be defeated if only
the. artillery fire is made strong
enough; wherefore all the munitions
Of war at the disposal of the Repub-
lican state organization will be de
voted to the effort to accomplish
that result. Republicans have no
hope Of carrying the state against
President Wilson or of defeating
Democratic nominees for Congress

After but short preparation and
the expenditure Of a limited amount
Of money, Henderson county has
held fair, the success of which
gave unmistakable evidence that on
the plan used the county and the
town Of Lexington can put on a fair
that would materially advance
every interest represented.
First, and we are tempted to
claim, foremost, our women have
shown more than once in needle
work, in culinary products and in
art, that, with year in which to
prepare, they can get together ex-
tensive exhibits which cannot be ex-
celled in any county in the State,
regardless Of location or population.
Likewise, in the lines of livestock,
poultry, field and garden products,
we feel that our stockmen, fowl fan
ciers, farmers and gardeners, given
the assurance that fair will be
held next year, with the offer of
reasonable premiums, can prepare
for exhibition specimens Of their
thrift, which would do credit to the
larger and more populous counties,
in all divisions of the State. for it
has been known and admitted that
West Tennessee responds generous
ly to any effort made in any line by
her citizens.
To much can not be said Of the
school exhibits made by both the
High School and the Lexington
Training School. In the making Of
feminine garments, household con-
veniecces and the preparation Of
wholesome food, daintily served, the
showing was most encouraging and
puts the seal of endorsement on the
work the High School is accomplish
ing.

Republican
Guns Aimed
At McKellar

Washington. Oct. 28.-Republican
campaign money is or ought to be
plentiful in Tennessee. Official
statements filed with Chief Clerk
South Trimble of the House of Rep
resentatives today by the Republi-
can national campaign committee
and the Republican congressional
committee show that contributions
totaling $4,000 have been sent to
Tennessee for campaign purposes.
Of this liberal amount J. Will
Taylor, chairman Of the state Re-
publican committee, re c e v e d
$4,000, $4,000 in one contribution
and $4,000 in another. The latter
amount was extra. A. V. McLain,
treasurer of the Republican cam
paien committee, received a contri-
button Of $4,000. r. L. Burnette,
treasurer of the Littleton campaign
committee Of the Third District, re-
ceined a contribution Of $2,500, and
a like arnovnt was sent 70 the trea-
surer Of the Republican campaign
committee Of the Eighth District.
Apparently no contributions from
these national sources have been
sent into any other congressional
districts Of the state.
Under the federal campaign pub
licity act Chairman Taylor and
Treasurer Mclean are not required
to maku an accounting Of their dis
bursements to the clerk Of either
house of the National Congress.
For week Or more the report
TrftsF~T ssfN1
has been current In political circles
here that the bulk Of the $4,000
sent to Chairman j. Will Taylor was
to be expended in the Tenth Con-
gressional District in an effort to de-
feat the election of Representative
X. D. McKellar in the United States
Senate. Anticipating that McKellar
will receive a tremendous vote in
his own district, the Republican
managers are credited with a plan
t o prevent that consumation il Fl
money has not lost its power of per-
suasion in a political argument. In
addition to $4,000 sent to Chair
man Taylor. Treasurer McLain has
or had $4,000.
A report received here several
days ago from a Republican source
in Tennessee was to the effect that
up to that time Chairman Taylor
had not donated any part Of the
$4,000 to the campaign Of Little
ton or to Republican headquarters
at Knoxville. This report h a
strengthened belief in the story that
most of his contributed fund will be
