Much interest is being manifested
in lettuce culture in southern Idaho
at the present time, and as we have
received numerous inquiries, we have

From the facts learned, we believe
that Idaho lettuce is destined to be-

the growers to raise.

DOPE FIEND COMES
TO HORRIBLE END
IS FOUND FRIDAY MORNING
IMMERSED IN CITY
JAIL.

D. Benton Groves, discovered Fri
day morning lying face up in a pool
of water about three inches deep in
the city Jail, died at local hospital
Saturday morning as a result of his
immersion.
He was taken into custody Friday
evening by John Baker, chief of pol
ice, because he was under the influ-
ence of alcohol and gave indications
of having partaken too largely of
some form of dope. 1t has since been
learned that he was drug addict.
Early Friday morning, Mr. Baker
visited the jail to find Groves still i'll
bed and asleep. He left without awak-
ening him. Some time later Swain
Beatty discovered water trickling
through the Jail door. He summoned
aid and the door was forced in. Groves
was found on the floor, unconscious.
He was rushed to hospital having
been given all possible aid.
He had apparently awakened some
time after Mr.. Baker visited the Jail
and had gone to the sink for a drink
of water. The cup was found in a
Fha1f filled condition over the. drain in
such way as to effectually stop the
flow of water The faucet was run
ming and as noiexit was provided for
the water, it filled the sink and flood
ed the floor.
The body was shipped to Kansas
and will probably be sent from there
to Illinois for burial. An uncle is the
only Caldwell relative of the dead
man.

ENDORSE THE LIBRARY

Ontario has public library that
serves not only the people OF the
city but OF the county as we'll. To
perform that service requires the
work OF two people, the librarian
and an assistant. The County con-
tributes to the support of the In
stitution while what the city has paid
will not even meet the cost OF an as
sistant librarian, let alone purohas-
ing books, and fuel and meeting the
cost OF lighting and janitor service.
Ontario folks are not niggardly.
They want their institutions TO be
in a position TO give service. The
service OF the library has been more
than doubled, and that is why the
measure TO he voted on for the H.

 DECISION ANXIOUSLY

: Indianapolis, March 9-The United Mine Workers of Amer lca will refuse to accept : the findings of the bituminous coal commission until a substantial increase in wages and improv- ed working conditions are pro- vided, it was inferred in a state ment issued today from head quarters of the organization.
 Officials of the Mine Workers wera absent from the city and those in charge of the offices refused to con- ment on the statement
 Nothing short of a substantial in crease in wages and improved work ing conditions will be acceptable to the United Mine Workers of Ameri- ca,' reads the statement.
 "Fhe miners are awaiting the de- cision with much anxiety We be- heve the public will understand our position"
 Unless settlement of the con- troversy is made on such a basis. the statement says, the miners wi1r not feel that full justice has been done the1n The bituminOus coal com mission was appointed by President Wilson to work out a suitable wage scale for the miners and report on any plans for improving living con- ditions after the strike of miners had ended
 There has been steady increase in the cost of living since the first of this year, reads the statement "in spite of the fact that the govern ment represented to labor last sum- mer that living costs would be re- duced and that the government would see to it that this was done. Further promises of redgctions in the cost of living would fall on deaf ears, as far as the coal miners are concerned, because they have had their experience with such prom ises in the past, all of which have gone unfuIflled"
