Earthquake Caused CHANCES.

An effect of the Nevada earthquake
of the last quarter of 1915 has been

former amount In the flow of streams
and springs throughout the northern
part of the state. Observers have pro-
bounced this earthquake more violent
than the one that caused such disaster
In San Francisco in 1906, but In the
thinly settled region the damage was
small. Beginning October 2. there
were more than 500 shocks within
three months. The most notable mark
of the disturbance has been left on the
east side of Pleasant alley, where the
alluvlal detritus ut the base OF the
Sonoma range has settled away for q

horizontal width of 8 feet over dis

Price OF Roses,

quarters of Southern city. A young
hospital nurse, still In training, Is
asking the price of roses, her rounded

she has managed to embroider work

his ear to the keyhole.
One evening father and daughter had
n longer discussion than was usual, and
Morrison was Johnny on the spot, lis
tening to every word. He heard the
girl say, "Cruel father, thou art the
cause of my death" Then Shaw left
the room and went into the street, and
when he was gone Morrison heard the

arrived, and entered the Shaw abode.
Catherine was lying on the floor In u

was too far gone to speak, and when
the oliiclous Morrison asked her IL her
father had stabbed her, she nodded her
head and expired.

His trial was brief, and he was con-

learned judge enlarging greatly upon
the enormity of his crime. So one

A JOKE ON JUSTICE.

For weeks the body Of William Shaw
had been hanging In chains from glib
bet near Edinburgh. In daylight and
darkness, In sunshine and storm, the
poor husk of that unfortunate man
swung and creaked. Such a spectacle
was not uncommon two hundred years
ago, but usually the victim had friends
or sympathizers, who gave the passing
tribute of tear. William Shaw, how
ever, was an object of general execra-
ton; and passersby shook their fists
ut his swaying form and said his fate
was too good for him. Parents took
their children to see that shriveled relic
Of humanity, for no moral lessons could
be too violent in those days, and eau
toned them to mark and remember the
punishment of man who slew his own
daughter, as bonnie lass as there
was In Edlnboro town.
Then one day clergyman and sew
many citizens, went to that wayside
gibbet and tenderly took down all that
was left of william Shaw. The re-
mains were borne to the consecrated
ground of church cemetery, and there
buried with all pious forms. The min
lister made talk that melted all the
hearers to tears; and representatives
of the law planted n flag on the grave
when the dirt had been filed in.
For justice had made terrible blum
der, and was doing what she could to
remedy things. 1t wasn't much, and

SUMS RAYS CARESS TEMPLE
Tinse Of Red Upon Mighty Columns OF
BaaIbek May Be Explained
in Two Ways.

At Baalbek man has truly achieved
the cyclopean. Here the excavators
have unearthed complete set OF
ruins. Here lying guides get tourists

place | know of, says a writer In the
Christian Herald.
Here the towering columns OF the
temple of the sun watch the orb of day
descend behind The Lebanon. after the
lifting shadows have engulfed the
smaller temple of Bucchus. And the
sun, In departing, leaves his kiss upon
the stately colonnude In clearly seen
tinge of red.
There are prosaic folk who say that
this Is caused by iron In the rock. That
may do as an explanation to those
who believe In the age of iron, but this
mighty temple does not belong to the
present age of machinery.
1t Is more likely that the red tinge

everlasting monument. Perhaps It Is
as well that the blood of the labor
ers should show on the monument of
the conqueror who built this temple to
an unknown god.
Men who are killed in mines and
dangerous occupations today have no
such mighty reminders Of their toll as
the blush which shows on the graceful
columns Of Baalbek when the setting
sun slowly settles behind the long line
of lofty Lebanon.

1t Is perhaps wiser to provide her

so much is now smpllfied by the uni

There are many schools In which the
girls insist upon wearing wash skirts
throughout the season, but this is an
extravagant fashion because of the
laundry bill.
The preferred shirtwalst is Of silk
instead of cotton, which calls for bit
more money in the beginning, but
which saves more in the end.

SHIFTING THE BURDEN.

The prosecuting attorney of Can
yon county is to be pitied. His enc
mics despise him; his friends have re-
pudiated him; his acquaintance shun
him. Everybody is taking rap at
Henry.
In the interests of fair play The
Tribune calls attention to the fact
that all of the odium for the Huntz-
berry case should not be laid at the
door of Henry Griffths. The ply
sicians who examined Huntzberry
were subpoenaed by the probate judge,
who also endorsed their verdict by
committing the defendant to the in
sane asylum. The shariff of Canyon
county must have known of the pro-
ceedings and yet he was silent about
them. Probably Sheriff Friman did
not approve of the procedure but for
one reason or another he kept mum.

PROCEDURE WAS NOT FOL
LOWED.

The Caldwell News in its discussion
of the libel suit filed by Prosecuting
Attorney Griffiths against the editor
of this paper states the forms of the
law have been complied with and
Huntzberry has been declared insane.
If the forms of the law had ben COM
piled with there would be no criticism
of Mr.. Griffiths. The News is in error
when it states that the forms of the
law have been complied with.
Chapter 6, page BPS. Vol 2, Idaho
Revised Codes, sets forth clearly the
procedure that should have been fol-
lowed in the Huntzberry case. The
Prosecuting Attorney of Canyon
County did not follow that procedure
in a single instance and the News
knows that he did not follow it.
We would ask the News, as a
spokesman for Mr.. Griffiths, to state
the reasons why Mr.. Griffiths did not
follow the procedure of the law. Why
did he establish the insanity Of Huntz-
berry in the manner he did when an
other method that is absolutely fair
and above criticism existed? Why did
he go beyond the court where the case
was pending when the regular method
was in that very court?
The Caldwell News has a cores
pendent at the court house, so we be-
lieve, or at any rate regularly pub
fishes the news of the court house.
Why was not mention made of the
Huntzberry case in its last issue? The
News did not suppress the story but
it was suppressed. If this case was
regular in every respect why the
secrecy that prevailed? Neither OF
the Boise papers got the Huntzberry
story. How is it that it was missed?
The News knows that the procedure
was irregular from beginning to end
1t also knows that the people of the
community condemn the method that
was employed. They know that Grif-
fiths consulted doctors in this COM
munity and that these physicians re-
fused to have anything to do with the
case, and for that reason outside doc
tors were brought in.
