IN KENTUCKY

Matt Hennessey, Of Augusta, was
here during the week putting in some
good ticks for his friend Frank Daugh-
erty in his race for the nomination for
Attorney General Matt has passed out
word vote for Daugherty he's like
a brother to me" and that means quite
a lot for a candidate in Mason county.
There has been practically nothing
done in this county for Ryland Musick'
of Jackson, who wants this nomination
and who is the, only Ninth District
man on the ballot.
State Auditor Bob" Green, OF
Frankfort, was here during the week
hitting with a double bladed AK One
side cutting for Bernard Pollitt and
the other for Governor Black, who is
expected to appoint Green to the State
Tax Commission Immediately after the
primary when the Democratic candl-
date for Auditor will be named to sue
coed Green, as he will have to resign
to accepte the appointment.
In the Lieutenant Governors race
in this county 1t appears that W. H.
Shanks has the bulge on the thing
Ronald Oldham gained considerable
ground about the time Of the Tom
Cromwell article in the Clncinnau
ENQUIRER which was a rather harsh
rap at the Winchester man but since
that time local supporters and frlends
of Shanks have been very busy and
Mason county looks like its all for
Shanks. Oldham has come to the res
cue of his former standing among the
voters here with advertisements, but
this is hardly thought will check the
stampede of all factions 10 shanks'
Mat Cohen seems to be getting
stronger every day in the Secretary
of State race and, of course, henry
Bosworth will get the support OF MS
neighbors and friends here. John
Newman seems to be the favorite for
the nomination for Mat Cohen's old
job among the people of Mason coun-
ty.
In the fight for Clerk of Court of
Appeals things are somewhat obscure
and Just where to put the county Is
hard to tell. The two leading candi-
dates Steger and Goodman both have
many warm friends here and its al
most matter of tossing the coin as
to who will receive the most support
from the leading county politicians.
Mr.. Goodman has long been connected
with a Louisville publishing house
which furnishes books and supplies
to the clerks Offices and courts and
has won the friendship of many people
here while Judge Steger being con-
nected with the State Examiners Of
fee for SO long has also made many
staunch friends and supporters. AL
though its pretty hard to tell just now,
the undertow seems to indicate that
Steger is just little bit the favorite
in Mason county. O'Connell will get
many votes in the county
During this week politics promises
to take the center Of the stage and
It will hold the center with all lights
centered on 1t until the grand climax
on Saturday. County Clerk James
Owens is getting everything in readi-
ness The ballots were delivered to
the clerk Saturday and all ballot boxes
are now being put in condition for use

in the roll of election officers which
are being filled by the Election Com
.missioners as they become known ant

INVASION OF WEEVIL
BASIS FOR new WORK
Extension Officials Take Steps To-
ward Aiding Farmers in Effort to
Solve Alfalfa Insect Problem.

If a million and half acres of Ida
no land are brought under cultivation
in the next 20 years by the opening
of new irrigation tracts what are the
farmers on those tracts going to
raise? They cannot raise hay, in the
opinion Of university extension di-
vision authorities, for the reason that
the alfalfa weevil bids fair to cut off
the market for Idaho hay outside the
borders of the state.
farm management investigator of the
University of Idaho and the office of
farm management of the United
States department of agriculture, is
about to begin an extended statewide
investigation to answer this question.
The university wishes to be in po-
sition to advise settlers, with author
ity, as to the sort of farming they can
do with the greatest expectation OF
profit.
"The stock range is at its height
said Mr.. Hunter. with reference to
the hay situation. "The state already
is producing more hay than it can
\ consume at home. Washington re-
Gently has placed quarantine on hay
, from Idaho, on account of the wee,
vii, and eventually we shall be forced
to consume all Idaho hay within thu
borders of the state. This means thai
settlers on these new million and /;
half acres cannot raise hay. My prob
lem is to help decide what they shouit
be advised to raise"

Uniforms and Instruments.

Monthly dances for which the Cald
we'll Municipal band will provide the
music have been determined upon to
supply the organization with funds
for the purchase of musical instru-
ments, uniforms and to meet the
monthly expense of the bands por-
ton of Director Smiths salary. The
event of the series will be given at
the Armory hall July 80.
Music for the occasion will be en-
tirely supplied by the band and is ex-
pected to be a considerable drawing
card because of its novelty. Dances
will be given regularly every month
throughout the summer and fall, and
possibly all winter.
According to H. w. Dorman, band
manager, several business men have
offered monthly contributions toward
maintaining the organization. But, SO
far as possible, the band wishes to
meet their own obligations and it was
with this in mind that the determine
ton was reached to give series oil
benefit dances.
Thirty men and boys are now en-
rolled with the city band. Concert.
will be given every Friday evening a.

Dorman urgently requests that those
who appreciate the work which thu

|NTERuRbAN CRASH
KILLS SIX PERSONS
WHEN AUTO IS HIT
Motoring Party Annihilated Sunday
Evening 4 Miles East of Nampa
When Electric Car Hits Auto.

Five persons were almost instantly
killed and a sixth SO seriously injured
that he died the following morning
when a seven-passenger automobile,
driven by ]. F. Ullery of Nampa, was
struck by an interurban car on the
Boise Valley Traction lines about
four miles east of Nampa early last
Sunday evening.
According to passengers on the IN
I terurban car the accident probably re-
suited from misjudgment on the part
of Mr.. Ullery when, after he had de-
cided not to attempt the crossing in
the face of the approaching car, sud
denly changed his mind, with the re-
suit that the automobile was struck
squarely and carried a considerable
distance down the track:
w The S Ssad .w aTs eerf anc s
l6, and May, aged II, and Mr.. anc
Mrs. Charles SRellaberger. All are
from the Nampa district. The party
was enroute home from Meridian
when the accident occurred.
Of the six persons who died as Z
result of the catastrophe only Mr.
Shellabarger lived for any time. HI
was taken Immediately to the Namps

robustness of his injuries were earl,
realized and little hope was enter
tanned for his recovery. He died abou

, H. L. Marks, motorman. Brakes wer
applied and the car put in reverse
The speed was reduced from about 81
: miles per hour to IL before the ca
I was struck. But the impact was suf
t ficient to completely demolish tn
t automobile, leaving virtually no por
ton of the machine intact with tn
exception of one wheel Shortly afte

Il Only two persons were killed in
simultaneously. A third died while be
ing taken from the wreckage and tw
: others succumbed while being ha:
S tened to the Nampa hospital.

crossing, a short distance east {

servation of the interurban tracks fc
a considerable distance in either d
rection and PASSENGERS on the car al
unanimous in the statement that tn
whistle was blown as ordinarily whe
the interurban car was 200 feet frol

The belief is expressed that SON
difficulty which Mr.. Ullerv must ha'
had with his machine in shifting gea
caused the automobile to proce'
when he intended to stop it. Ju
what happened probably will new
be known.

NURSERYMEN CANNOT
SUPPLY THE DEMAND

Horticulturists who contemplate
planting orchards in the neal. future
will have to contend with a shortage
of nursery stock, according to E. F.
Stephens, president of the state board
of horticulture. This fact was brought
out at the meeting of the Pacific
Coast Nurserymen's association held
in Portland july 8, 9. 10.
Quarantine AGAINST foreign grown
roots and the enormous consump-
ton of peach pits for war purposes
in the United States has been re,
sponsible for the shortage. It will
be some time before the United State.
will be able to provide for the do
nestle demand. Tn the meantime
growers will nay higher prices thar
usual for their young trees.
