IDAHO FARMER SAYS
NEIGHBORS PLAN MURDER

BOISE, Idaho.-The startling claim
that clique of neighbors are plan
ming to kill him and his family is
made by w. E. Cooper of Copeland in
a letter to Attarney General Roy L.
Black. Cooper declares that on Octo-
Der 16 he bought some potatoes which
had been poisoned by woman with
intent to do harm TO himself and
family. He fed the' peelings to the
family hog and within Is minutes the
animal was dead, according to his let
ter. He said that he removed the
hogs stomach at the request of the
sheriff and that tests made upon it by
druggist and himself showed it full
of poison.
Attorney General Black explained
in his reply that the case was not
within the scope of his office. 81 do
not assume that the county officials
have refused to act, but that they are
waiting to gather further evidence"
he replied. "You will understand
that the mere. fact that the potatoes
were poisoned would not be suffi-
cient to sustain criminal complaint
against the person who sold them.
unless you could show that he know
ingly put poison in the potatoes"

MAKE NOVEMBER Il
A LEGAL HOLIDAY
ANNIVERSARY OF SIGNING OF
ARMISTICE DECLARED A
HOLIDAY IN IDAHO

Tuesday, November IL, will be a
legal holiday in Idaho and Governor
Davis asks the people to observe it
as SUCH 1t is the first anniversary
OF the signing of the armistice which
ended the world greatest war. 1t

A Proclamation by the Governor.
From the commencement of; our
history as people, by the designation
OF special anniversary days, it has
been the custom to commorate events
and achievements marking the pro-
gress of the nation, or in grateful and
loving tribute to citizens who by their
lives of nobility and patriotism have
upheld the honor and glory of their
country.
AS the story of the Liberty Bell
brings to each generation of Ameri-
cans feelings of gratitude, pride and
joy, so will history give to future gen.
the story of the signing of
the armistice on November IL, 1913
That outburst of joy as recorded
throughout the land may never be re-
peated, but as long as time shall last
every American on the anniversary of
that triumphant day will pay grateful,
Joyful tribute to the victorious heroes
Of the Great World War.
The American Legion has suggest
ed that November 18th be known as
Armlstice Day and requests that it be
set aside as legal holiday.
AS Governor of the State of Idaho, |
am glad to comply with this sugges-
ion and request.
NOW, THEREFORE, I'D. w. Davis,
aoyrnoer of the State. of Idaho, do
hereby designate Tuesday, November

UTAH COAL MINERS
MAY NOT GO ON STRIKE

SALT LAKE.-The coal miners at
Price and Helper, Utah, where the
states largest mines are located late
Saturday were working with nearly
normal forces and the situation was
reported quiet. No miners struck Sat
urday and operators are hopeful that
all the remaining men will stay at
work. Approximately 100 infantry
men from Fort Douglas are at Help
er prepared to cope with any situa-
ton that may arise.
John McLennan, organizer of the
miners union in Utah said Saturday
that the local miners would hold a
convention of their own in the near
future. He said he believed the
strike in Utah would be held in abey-
ance awaiting the outcome Of the
struggle in the east. Any conces-
sions won by the eastern miners, he
said, would be- insisted upon by the
Utah miners.

BRIDE DENIES SHE
MARRIED M|LEHAM
WIFE SAYS SHE DOES NOT
EVEN KNOW THE MAN SHE
MARRIED LAST AUGUST

BERKELEY, Cal.-Miss Esther
Diggles, asserted by Horace J. Mile
ham, who attempted suicide in Mos
COW. Idaho. to be his bride, denied to-
dav that she even knew Mileham, but
her aunt, Mrs. R. N. Diggles, at
whose home the girl is staying, said
today that marriage was performed
in Moscow and that the girls mother
is taking steps to have the ceremony
annulled
According to the aunt, Miss Dig
giles denied the marriage in the be-
lief that she would escape publicity
Some of Miss Diggles sorority
friends said today that Mileham came
to the university and endeavored to
get his wife to return home with
him and appeared very downhearted
when he bade her goodby Wednes-
day.
In the face of this Miss Diggles
said.
II do not see why the man CON
nected me with his troubles. If |
were married to soldier / should
live with him.. and in any event
would go to him if he were in trouble
or were dying. I do not know this
man."
1sMy niece and Mileham were mar
ried in Idaho after brief acquaint-
ance," said Mrs. Diggles. "Her moth
er objected, and it was not long be-
fore my niece found out that she and
her husband were not suited to
each other. !. Her mother sent her
here to go to the university, and, /
understand, made plans to have the
marriage annulled."

HUNTER FARM SOLD
FOR s21S PER ACRE:
NEW HIGH RECORD PRICE PAID
FOR VIM. HUNTERS HALF
SECTION FARM

JULIAETTA.-Last week a real es-
tate deal was consummated which, be-
yond doubt, establishes a new record
of value of farm land in north central
Idaho, when County Commissioner
Clark paid William Hunter, a banker
and capitalist of Moscow, Idaho, $70,-
600 for 800 acres of farm land on Fix
ridge, near Juliaetta. That was at the
rate of $21S.S5 per acre. - While ef-
fort was made to prevent the price
obtained being made public, from
an authoritative source the facts
were ascertained.
The history of this land, while hard
to believe, is here set forth in un-
vanished truthfulness.
In about the year 1890 William
Hunter purchased 100 acres of the
above land for S2650, or $16.50 per acre.
At that time the price paid was con-
sidered high. However, when the re-
turns from the rental of the land were
good investment
In 1898, or thereabout, Mr. Hunter
decided to add another 100 acres to his
holdings. But during those eight
years the land had enhanced in val
ue, so that Mr.. Hunter was compelled
to pay $3175 for his second quarter,
or $19S5 per acre. Again it was
thought by many of his wiseacre
neighbors that he had paid dearly for
his whistle. However, his income
from his rentals on basis of one-third
the crop yielded good returns on his
second investment, in fact it is said
to have provided amply for the needs
for, iIryf J, 1erI,(N
all the years that he owned the land.
During the long period Mr.. Hunter
possessed the land many tempting Of
fers were made for his holdings, but
with bulldog tenacity he turned them
all down. saying, ''If the land is
worth that to you it appears that it
should be worth about as much to me-"
And when Hunter finally set a valua-
tion of $4,000 on the half section he
no doubt felt that he would be secure
from temptation to sell for many years
to come.
Columbus Clark had farmed with
marked success on Fix ridge for more
than Quarter of century. he
knew what the Hunter land" as 1t
was called, had produced in the past
and he had faith in it's productiveness

So decision was reached

But the fact that 800 acres of farm
