CRIMINAL court
DOCKET IS LIGHT
Only Three Indictments Re-
turned by the Malheur
County Grand Jury.
(staff Correspondence

Vale, April 27.-The criminal docket
at this term Of circuit court at Vale is
the lightest in several years. Tho grand
jury last week returned only three in
dictments and had only IA witnesses
before it, as compared with a3 indict-
pents by the grand jury for the last
term of court In January, when there
were rs witnesses called before 1t. For
the last several years the usual number
OF witnesses summoned to appear before
the grand jury here was from so to 75.
1t is thus seen that the expense to
the taxpayers of the county for wit
ness fees and jury trials for those
charged with crime, will be much less
for this term Of court than for any one
term for several years past.
When the authorities here were
questioned as to the cause of the inn
proved state of affairs as shown in the
great reduction in criminal cases for
this term Of court, they gave II as
their opinion that 1t is due more than
anything else to prohibition, which
went into effect in oregon the first
of last January. The opinion was ex-
pressed that the crooks and others who
billing too freely in intoxicants. moved
out of the county and state when
Oregon went dry" in January.
Love and Hill Plead Guilty.
The three indictments returned by
the grand jury last week were against
Earl g. Love. charged with rape; Will
liam Hill, charged with attempt to ex-
tort money, and Pat Williams. charged
with sheep stealing. Love and Hill
plead guilty before Judge Biggs Mon
day morning. They will be sentenced
some time next week. 1t is under
stood that the penalty for the crime
committed by Love is to 20 years In
states prison at Salem, and the penalty
for Hill Is not less than six months nor
more than two years in states prison
Love plead guilty to having enticed
Lillian King of Arcadia, aged about IA
years. from her home Feb. 8. 1916, and
took her to Pendleton where they were
arrested April IL. 1916. the charge be-
ing rape.

GIVEN ON
STOCK SHIPMENTS
Meridian Becoming One of
Most Important Shipping
Points of Valley.

Meridian, April 27.-That there Is a
constant improvement of business con-
ditions at this place as reflected
through the local mercantile trade is
the view of the business men of the
town They emphasize the fact that
the farmers of the country tributary
to town are in a decidedly improved
financial condition as compared to that
of an earlier period. The basis of the
progress and prosperity of Meridian,
however, is that the surrounding
country is distinctly a farming and
stock section. The vast shipments of
stock and grain being shipped from
here at all periods of the year have
put no small amount Of money into cir
culation among the farmers and it's
consequent effect is being felt by the
town. Something like an adequate
idea of the proportions of the shipments
may be had by the fact that during
the last four months the farmers Of
this locality have shipped out So car
loads of hay, 80 carloads of hogs, eight
carloads of cattle and 10 carloads of
sheep.
These figures only involve the ship
ments for December of last year and
those of January, February and
March of this year. During this
month for which figures are not in
Guided, the shipments of stock have
perhaps been considerable in excess Of
those of any of the two months given.
There is a sound and an enduring
basis for the prosperous conditions to
be observed here and the town may be
expected to forge to the front.

MEETING IN INTEREST
OF new FLOUR Mill

Nampa, April 27.-That this city will
secure the location of the proposed
Idaho Oregon Holiness college is the
belief of leading business men since the
mass meeting in the interest of the
effort being made to effect the To-
cation of the college here held Tues
day night in the tabernacle.
The meeting was one of enthusiasm
and general interest and was highly
indicative of the concerted efforts be-
ing put forth by the business men and
citizens Of the city. The purpose of
the meeting, the needs of the college
and its co sequent benefit were fully
emphasized by Rev. Tullis, the finan-
cial agent Of the educational board OF
the Holiness church, and addresses
were made by N. Jenness, editor of the
Leader Herald and president of the
Chamber of Commerce, e. +. Stephens,
A. W. Mcneil, Rev. Mr.. Mills. Rev. Mr.
Meredith, Rev. L. |. Hadley, the dean
Of the college and head of the theologi-
cal department and Rev. Mr.. Neher
along similar lines. An intimation was
given that a donation of $4,000 had al
ready been promised by one prominent
citizen and the general impression Is
that the remainder of the $4,000 bonus
asked by the church as the requisite
for the location of the college in Nam
pa will be secured without difficulty
Mr.. Tullis and leading citizens of the
city are now active in the effort to Sc
cure the required bonus.

MODERN BUILDINGS
ARE Being ERECTED

Eagle, April 27.--The growth and
progress which Eagle is enjoying is
highly manifest through the modern
cement business buildings of L. B.
Harris. the druggist, and Frank Ma
haffey. the local contractor, which are
nearing completion, and which will be
occupied during the next two weeks.
The buildings are OF such finish and
proportions as to be a credit to a
town several times the size Of Eagle
and serve not only to advertise the
town favorably but to attest the pro-
gressive spirit OF its citizenship. The
building of Mr.. Harris will be oc-
cupied by him as a drug store. while
Mr.. Mahaffey's building will be rented.
The location of the proposed FIGURING
mill here which now appears highly
probable, is also further indication OF
Eagles advancement.

TAKING CARE OF TEETH
Horses MoIars Should Be Ex-
amined for Defects.
Elongated and liberated Grinders
Often Prevent Animal From Prop
erIy Masticating Its Food
Weakness Follows.

If your horse shows difficulty In eat
ing, or loses flesh without apparent
cause 1t is time to examine the teeth
Very often elongated teeth prevent a
horse from properly masticating its
food, thereby rendering it impossible
to obtain much benefit from It,
liberated teeth also are source
of great trouble and prevent a horse
from eating well. Sometimes broken
teeth cut the sides of the horses
mouth and form painful sores, which,
of course, interfere with mastication.
It Is good plan to examine the
teeth of all horses two or three times
year, and in the case of broken or
elongated teeth treat them with .
hle. If the teeth Of valuable animal
are badly affected it should be treated
by veterinary surgeon.
A man living in an eastern state tells
OF six-year-old Virginia mule which
almost starved to death because of
bad teeth. 1t was sold for a nominal

OF doing almost as much work as any
