The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XLII.-TDAHO
~7VF@s THE year
MI1ZfM 1 1889 saw
HIS WN%W the stars in
NAN our flag in
wv ISL crease from
WE SU thirty-eight to
forty-two, for
~ four states
were added to the Union in that
year. In 1890 two more states
We're admitted, the first of which
was Idaho, so that during these
two years the manufacturer
must have been kept busy turn
ing out new flags with the prop
er number of stars.
Idaho is very mountainous and
the name is derived from the
ShOshOne Indian word meaning
gem of mountains"
The first white explorers were
undoubtedly Lewis and Clark on
their memorable trip in 1S04-5.
Idaho was a part of Oregon
territory, which was Jointly &C.
cupied by British and Americans
until the Treaty of 1916 definite
ly turned over to the United
States the country south of the
10th parallel. In 1868 Idaho
was organized as a territory,
with an area three times the size
of the present state, as it in
Guided Montana and part Of
Wyoming. The next year Mon
tana was set off for a territory
by itself, and in 1868 Wyoming
was organized so that in 1890
when Idaho was admitted as
the forty-third state of the IN
ion, it's area was reduced to 49,
S88 square miles. Even so 1t
ranks as the eleventh state in
size.
The rapid settlement of Idaho
was due to the discovery of gold,
the same cause which so rapidly
built up the adjacent states. It
was in 1882 that gold was found
at Occur d'Alene in the northern
part Of the state. and miners i'm
mediately focked to the state
in great numbers.
There was serious labor trou-
bic in the Occur d'Alene sec
ton in 1892 and again in 1899,
when martial law was estab-
lished until peace between the
miners and mine owners was
effected.
Idaho is fifth from the end in
the list Of states according to
population, and accordingly has
but four presidential electors.
But the state is developing rap
idly.

The Stanleys
Now In Wyoming

Writing from Laramie, Wyo.,
on his transcontinental tour in d
Dodge roadster, Charles A. Stan
ley says:
"This has been a day of wonder
full views. | never imagined such
scenery as Mrs. Stanley and | have
been through all day. There is
snow on the highest peaks of the
Lincoln highway where it crosses
the Rockies over 5000 above sea
level. August 10 was one of the
hottest days | ever saw, while at
Laramie it is as cold as October at
home. We came down a canyon
after hitting the high spots, but
this is no tidewater town. Am
stopping here to have the motor
cleaned and valves ground. Have
fair camp here. Twenty-four
cars are here now and more will
come later as it is now only six
o'clock. Two camps where we
stopped had hot and cold shower
baths. These towns are mighty
nice to tourists and there are lot
of them travelling.

VIOLENT FIGHTING ON
IN BELFAST STREETS

BELFAST, Aug. 30-Street
fighting which has been in progress
since yesterday became particular
" violent after / o'clock today,
the dinner hour at 90 factories in
the side streets radiating from
Duncairn Gardens and north
Queens street. One laborer was
shot dead and several other per-
sons were wounded including one
army sergeant. Civilians placed
sand bags in the middle of the
streets and maintained heavy firing
against the police and military who
were forced to abandon the streets.
Armored cars were summoned. At
one time the patter of bullets re-
sembled a nail storm. Last nights
rioting was the most serious the
city has experienced for some
time he police and malitary were
engaged through out the greater
part of the night in subduing
unmen and snipers who were op-
Grating from windows and roofs
and who continued their fusilade
until after midnight. Street lamps
were eXtinguished and the only
light came from burning houses, to
which the mob had set fire.

Rum Runners Car
Sold at AuctiOn|

The big Packard touring car
that figured in the sensational
rum running episode here July
80, was sold at auction by Sheriff
w. H. Worthen at the Hopkins
garage Tuesday forenoon.
After quite lively bidding by
several prospective buyers, the
car was finally sold to c. H.
Knight of Pawtucket, r. L., for
$655. Mr. Knight was represented
legally at the sale by F. c. Bick-
nell, Windsor attorney.
The car has been IN storage
here for the last four weeks since
it was captured, with its liquid
load in Groton and brought back to
town, after its exciting trip from
the Canadian border through this
section in a futile attempt to elude
the local officials.

AUTOMOBILES
CLASH IN
LYNDON VILLAGE
H. A. Bryant's Car Loses
a Wheel in the
MiX-up

Two automobiles came together
at the foot of the hill opposite the
tea shop in Lyndon village Sat
urday evening and the clash made
noise enough to attract the neigh
borhood and bring plenty Of help
to untangle the mix up.
H. A. Bryant, accompanied by
Mrs. Bryant and Mr.. and Mrs.
William Walters of Watsontown,
N. J., were returning from Burke
where Mr.. Walters has just pur-
chased a farm. AS they came to
the bottom of the hill in the south
end of Lyndon village they were
met bv q large touring car, bear
ing a Rhode Island number.
Both cars were travelling at a
moderate speed, but in passing the
Rhode Island car hit a pocket IN
the road and swung into the st.
Johnsbury car in such way as
to take off the left front wheel and
do considerable other damage.
The Rhode Island car contained
six people and was heavily loaded
with baggage. A baby carrier on
the side struck the Bryant car.
Fortunately there was no baby in
it. The touring car was jammcl
some, but not badly damaged and
fortunately no one was hurt. Both
cars were soon placed in condition
to be able to proceed on their way.
Mr.. Bryant says he never saw
so many people ready to help. 1t
was no time at all before the road
was full of people with lanterns
and screw drivers, and the cars
that came along in both directions
pro-offered assistance. The plirci-
pals in the accident decided that
no one was to blame for the
trouble or that it was at least a
$3.50 proposition, and proceeded
on their way after some delay but
no worse for the shake up.

FAIRBANKS A.
WINS SLUCClNG
MATCH AT BETHEL
Starr and Witty Hit Ball
Hard-Goode More Ef-
fective Than Little

The Fairbanks A. A. outslugged
the Bethel, VT, base ball team on
the latter's diamond Monday az
ternoon and carried off the spolls
of the day, the score at the tlnish
of an old fashioned slugfest being
9 to 7. This is the fourth straight
game won by the st. Johnsbury
outfit. Today the team plays at
Moretown and a fifth victory Is eX-
pected. ,,
eddie" Goode opposed Little, a
port slider from the Amoskeag
League in Manchester, N. H., and
it may be said that his south paw
slants were met frequently, the
boys making grand total OF IA
hits, many of which were for extra
bases. Goode was far from being
a puzzle to Bethel players, but he
was effective in the pinches. The
Bethel boys hit safely nine times
Stafford and Thomas Starr, a
brother of Bernie, the Fairbanks
catcher getting seven of these.
Bernie Sarr and Clarence Witty
led in the heavy st Johnsbury ar
tillely attack upon the south
winged offerings of Little, each
getting three hits. Starr and Con-
lon produced three baggero while
Witty. Richerelli, Downey and
Bracket all succeeded in knocking
ont two haUrprS
The fielding on both sides was
rather erratic. -Four errors were
committed by the Fairbanks ball
tossers and three were made by
Bethel. The fielding feature Of
game was a very difficult catch OF
a high long fly made by Witty in
right field. He caught the ball
while running in the same direction
with it. Conlon made some fine
pegs to first.
Bethel presented team, compos-
ed of practically all hired men,
most of them playing for the day
only. The team evidently had
great designs on the game for in
making sure they would have suf-
ficient men to defeat ST. Johnsbury
about a half dozen players warmed
the bench ready to go in if their
services were required.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-The
sending of federal troops into West
Virgaina's coal regions to restore
order entered the realm of proba-
bility today when military officers
of the army were called into con-
ference by President Harding to
consider that question.
Decision as to whether federal
troops would be sent to West Vir-
ginia, however, will await confer
ence to be held at the White House
at two o'clock this afternoon. The
President and Secretary Weeks,
after hearing a delegation from
West Virginia headed by Senator
Sutherland who urged that Cover
nor Morgan's request for federal
troops be granted, called into con-
ference Major-General Harboard,
acting chief of staff and Brigadier-
General Bandholtz, who recently
visited the coal fields as the war
department representative. There
was no intimation as to the atti-
tude of the President, but war de-
partment officials said only the
word from President Harding was
necessary for them to begin move
ment of troops into the West Vir-
ginia fields.
Senator Sutherland, on leaving
the White House, said the question
the president was considering was
whether the state had exacted ev-
cry effort to restore order. The
senator contended, however, that
the paramount issue was the pre-
servation of law and order regard
less of what the state might have
done in that direction.

IN MEMoRIAM

In memory of our dear wife and
mother. Christine Holmberg. who
passed away one sad year ago today,
May IS, 1920:
She bid no one a last farewell,
She said goodbye to none;
Her loving heart had ceased to beat
Before we knew that she was gone.
The Lord said you have finished,
Come up higher, mother dear.
You have won crown in Heaven !,
BY all you have suffered here.
And those who saw you in your cas-
ket, pure and white, and, Oh,
SO fair, thought you were the
