BRINGS IN FINE BUNCH OF COWS.

Jacob Sites returned Monday of this
week from two weeks trip through
north Idaho and Washington, looking
over the dairy business with the idea
of learning what he could and of buy
ing few head of cattle as foundation
for his herd here. After looking over
the field Mr.. Sites came to the con-
clusion that the roam Durham would
fit the bill best for him and he finally
secured twelve head of high grade milk
cows and pure bred bull of this breed
at Pasco, Washington. The latter ami
NAL is from the herd of Dunn and Sons,
of Wapato, Washington. The Dunns
took large number of first and second
prizes on their Burhams at the Lewis
ton stock show and again at the Port
land show and were successful in cap
turing the greatest number of firsts at
the Panama Exposition at San Fran
cisco, so that Mr.. Sites is fortunate in
getting an animal as the head of his
herd from this firm.-Stites Enterprise.

M. s. McMuRRY LoosEs HOME.

The farm home of M. s. McMurry,
near Harpster, was completely destroy.
ed by fire Sunday evening. Mr.. Me-
hurry and family were sitting up a
little later than usual to enjoy some
new photograph records, when about
10 o o'clock the house was discovered to
be in flames. A hurried effort was
made to get water onto the fire but
for some reason refused to work and
the fire spread so rapidly that in ten
minutes after it was discovered the
heat drove every one away so that a
little bedding, a sewing machine and
the clothes on their backs was all that
was saved by the McMurrys. AS their
canned fruit and provisions were stor.
ed in the cellar of the building, they
too were complete loss.

morning that all of the neighbors were
there helping on its erection.-Stites

ask his friends to support me. This is
a practice but little less reprehensible
than the control of elections through
machine and caucus domination, since
it results in the selection of candidates
through machine action rather than on
the basis of merit and ability.
'Quite early in the present cam
paign, a man came to me and stated
that he and his friends had whipped -
certain others into line and that they
had all gotten together, in secret caucus,
on plan to nominate and elect a GER
tain person governor of Idaho. This
plan contemplated the elimination, if
possible, of all competing candidates,
giving the voters of the patry no
choice whatever in the primaries. This

Would be Detective.
At any rate Gabriel rode into the
bunch of wandering stock, not his own,
and to make a long story short, decid-
ed that he would do little Sherlock
Holmes work. He figured, which now
seems absurd, that if he drove the stol-
en- stock down to the butcher, he might
be able to use them as a decoy to as
certain whether or not some of his
cattle had gone over the half price
butcher route. But that was his un-
doing. 1t appears later Gabriel, for
some reason or other, changed his
mind and drove the cattle back over to
the range from which they wandered.
He had been quite frank about the
matter and told several people about it.
He even offered to pay damages to the
owners of the cattle if he had put them
out any. Two weeks later Gabriel
was arrested for grand larceny. He
was tried, ound guilty and sentenced
to the penitentiary. Failing to appeal
he started service of his sentence.
Home Mortgaged; Wife Dying.
Mrs. Gabriel was left on the home
stead with her children. She placed
the stock on the range allowing others
to run them. At the end of the season
the riders informed her that most of
the animals had disappeared. The bal
ance were sold to pay the costs of de-
Tending her husband who in addition to
receiving penitentiary sentence was
fined heavily. But the receipts from
the stock was not enough so the home
stead was mortgaged.
After her husband started to serve
his sentence Mrs. Gabriel came on to
Boise. She was removed from the
train on her arrival, a very i'll woman
and rushed to the hospital. There for
two months she lowered between life
and death. Her husband in the peni.

she made a brave fight and survived
the ravages of the disease. The strain
on Gabriel after lInding himself brand
ed criminal, his life savings vanish
ed, his homestead mortgaged and his
wife dying was so great that the au
thorities feared he would loose his
mind. Mrs. Gabriel has since remained
in Boise to make stubborn fight foI

 WASHINGTON, April 19-Count von Bernstorff sent to Berlin today a long dispatch interesting the situation in Washington and making certain 1 recommendations. He is understood | to have advised his government that he believes the United States meant just what it said in it's submarine note and that something would have to be done quickly. if friendly rela- tions were to continue.
 The ambassador himself read the address fthe President and said:
 ''l can make no comment either upon the address or upon the note which has been sent to my govern ment"
 However, he was authoritatively de scribed as having advised the Berlin foreign office in the message sent to- night that he believed at least some such declaration as that made regard ing the conduct of submarine warfare in the Mediterranean Sea should be issued to cover all submarine actiyi- ties.
 ilt dSSul dHCCS Ntlt lO lht t-lINt that only modified warfare would be conducted against enemy mar chant ships, and that non-war ships of every character. freight as well as passenger carrying, would be accord ed proper warning and safety for their passengers and crews. The as- surances which have been given for the war zone covered only liners. The declaration of January ' also promised that German submarine commanders who failed to obey the assurances given would be punished and that reparation would be made for deaths or injury to American citi- zens.
 German commanders operating in the Mediterranean, it is said in de claration which was issued after the steamer Persia had gone down, hal particular instructions to adopt such measures of reprisal as were in force in the war zone around England.
