PARDON IS DENIED
HARRY ORCHARD
IDAHO BOARD TAKES SPECIAL
ACTION-FLOOD OF PROTESTS
WERE RECEIVED.

Boise.-Harry Orchard has been
denied pardon. The board of par
dons has forestalled the presentation
of further protests against the pOss-
ible release of the slayer of Governor
Frank Steunenberg. At noon today,
Immediately after the return of Sec
retary of State Robert o. Jones from
a 10 days absence in the east, the
members of the board at a special
meeting held in the governors office
voted unanimously against Orchards
application.
Since November 13, when Former
Governor James H. Hawley and United
States Senator Frank r. Gooding, to-
gether with former Chief Justice I. N.
Sullivan, made sensational pleas for
the release of Orchard as a means of
rewarding him for evidence offered
by him at the trials of Haywood,
Pettibone, and Meyer, protests have
poured in upon the board by letter,
wire, telephone and newspaper
articles.
Avoid Further Criticism.
The resolution by which the action
was taken was presented by Attorney
General Roy l.. Black. The motion
was seconded by Robert o. Jones.
Members of the board frankly ad-
mitted that the special meeting was
called at this time to enable the
board to escape from the weight OF
innumerab1e protests and from harsh
criticism which was not lacking in
some of the protests, but which they
feel was unmerited.
"AIl the board had done in the Or
chard case" said Governor Davis,
"was merely to give him his consti-
tutional rights, which any prisoner
has We were absolutely bound to
consider his application. And we
could not deny hearings upon it. AS
in every other case, the proceedings
of the board have been open and pub
lic"
General Black emphatically declared
that he felt the board was being pub
licly criticized without grounds.
Orchard Himself Silent.
Board members further declared
that at no time during the present
administration has a pardon been
granted in the face of honest and we'll
grounded protests. In the Orchard
case they say every statement or COM
munication has been received for con-
and that If further appear
ance had been asked for on the part
of Orchard they would have been
granted. Orchard himself, they posi-
lively stated, had never spoken to any
member of the board in his own be-
half.
Harry Orchard, Idaho's most noto-
rious penitentiary prisoner, pleaded
guilty to the murder of former Gov
ernor Frank Steunenberg by means
of a dynamite bomb attached to the /
gate in front of the Steunenberg home
at Caldwell, on December 80, 1905.
Is Model Prisoner.
His sentence of death was COM
muted at the pardon board meeting
following his trial in 1908 to life i'm
in consideration Of his
having turned states evidence and
testified against Secretary Bill Hay
wood, President Meyer and Charles
Pettibone of the Western Federation
of Miners, charged with completely in
the crime. They were acquitted de-
spite Orchards repeated testimony.
For IA years Orchard has been
model prisoner, of late years manag-
ing a shoe factory in the prison. He
is said to have become deeply religi-
GUS.

Orofino Sees Prosperous Year.

Recent conservative estimates of
the proposed cut of some dozen old
and new mills in this part of the
county show that there will be cut
and milled within the next twelve
months at least Is million feet of
lumber and considerable number
of poles. The cut will be largely
white pine. This is more than twice
former cuts in this region. 1t means
that at least 100000 will be spent
for labor, supplies, etc. There is some
indication that the cut will reach as
high as 35 to 40 million feet. We
understand that farmers can now get
about $40 per ton for their hay in
the Fraser and Weippe country.
Local mills mean local markets for
the farmers and some winter work
during the slack farming season.
They mean more business for the
merchants. We hope the lumber mar
ket continues strong.-Clearwater Tri-

Only half a day was required for
the states attorney, and all eYi-
denee was complete yesterday nft-
ernoon. Tue case was put In the
hands OF the Jury about 1880
O'Clock last night. Much OF the
defense testimony, including that
OF Mrs. Anderson, had to do with
the frequent family Quarrels, and
IN rebuttal the state called
Sheriff Blankenship to tell OF two
occasions whom he was called to
the Judges home to restore order.
There were no eye witnesses to
the shooting OF Judge Anderson
on the night Of July 20. but the
first people who rushed into the
house at the sound OF shots said
Mrs. Anderson admitted she had

would plead self-defense were

plea convinced a jury which was

ST. GEORGE EDITOR
 PRAISES WORK OF
 SHERIFF MAHONEY

We note the editor of the Washing ton County News, published at St. George speaks very highly of one of our county officials, Sheriff Mahoney, in a recent issue of his paper. He says:
 "Mr. Mahoney has a brilliant record for service as sheriff, and on the Arizona Strip" he is known as a just, impartial, fearless and energetic of- ficial. ..
 His record is long one of consci- entiots, hard and fearless work. He is natural enehy of the bootleeper and has consisteAtly worked to elim- mate illicit making and selling of liquor in Mohave county. The man who tries to get away with stolen car in his territory is doomed to dis, appointment; they simply, can't~escape him. This paper has referred on sey-, eral occasions to his persistency, in

DEVELOPMENT ON THE SWEENEY MINES

Work is progressing on the Sweeney mines, in the Aquarius mountains, near the Windmill, tunnel having been driven on the vein several hun dred feet. The vein is extremely large and carries values in gold and copper. J. P. Sweeney, formerly of Goldfield and Tonopah, secured the property about two years ago and has been doing some work to get under the big outcrop that shows along, the side of the mountain. This tunnel work has brought to light splendid body yof copper-gold ore that may .eventnslly resolve itself into pro IAIcefsf merit. The indications now are that one of the big veins of the county will be opened through this tunnel, although it will be necessary to sink to- greater depth to get into the enriched zone, where the leach ings from the oxidized zone have been redeposited. The heading is now said to be in good ore and the impression conveyed to us is that something ex- tremely inviting has already been opened up.

COPPER CONSUMPTION
 GROWING.

For the month of June the estimated consumption of copper reached an es- tinated total of above 'S0,O00,000 pounds, and this huge amount is grow ing with rapid strides. Copper is now one of the most important metals in the world, going into every manufac- ture and becoming so necessary in the economy of every country on the earth that it is sure to grow with every year. The supply is decreasing and at the present time the copper stocks that showed big the first of the year are well down below the demand.

DELV|NC INTO OPERATION
 OVERHEAD COSTS

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug 13.-(Special) Cost of operation is the item that automobile dealers are giving more
 attention to at present than any other perhaps outside of immediate selling, according to information gathered by the National Automobile Dealers as sociation representatives in investiga- tions that cover the entire country. Since March of this year, every city of more than 50,000 population has been visited by representatives of the organization and dozens of cities from 5O,O00 to 15,0O0 also have been made. In each of these cities leading dealers and distributors have been conferred with concerning future developments in the industry and their desires and suggestions will be used as the basis for adding to the business service program of the N. A. D. A.
 One significant fact sticks out and that is that the used car, which has been a prominent subject in dealer affairs in the last two years, has not continued to absorb all of the discus sion. There seems to be considerable interest in the no-trade idea.
 One dealer has advised as his plan that he will allot to his salesmen a fixed amount of money. which the salesman can use in making, deals in which there is a trade-in. He has five salesmen. He will provide $2,500 for. this used car purchase fund. Each salesman will have a naximum of $500 in this fund. The salesman can spend all of his $500 on trading one deal or he can spend it on five deals. But when he has reached his limit he can not trade any more until he has restored his trading credit by seeing to it that the used cars are sold. When the used cars are sold, the money from them is restored to the salesman's credit.
