RAIN SHORTAGE
MAY HURT IOWA
Farmers Suffer Already;
Middle West Faces
Real Crisis.

Lack of rain is seriously threaten
ing early season crops in the middle
west, according to NJ. D. Riner, local
realtor, who returned Tuesday eve
ming after brief visit in Iowa with
relatives. Already small grains are
beyond saving, Mr. Riner reports. No
quantity of rain can be expected to
bring more than half crop. Pas
lures are already burned to a yellow
and livestock have been turned onto
hay lands. Not since 1894 has Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska been so stricken
for want Of rain at this season, &C
cording to Mr.. Riner
Coupled with the dry spell, insects
have harvested generously of the po-
tato fields. Even plots that have
been sprayed are rapidly yielding to
the devastations Of the potato beetle
AS result of the gloomy outlook,
Iowa and other middle western states
are not looking forward to sharing
this falls prosperity, according to Mr.
Riner. Everyone is blue hoping fol
rains that can yet save the corn crop
Even hogs, one of Iowa's staples, suf.
fered with influenza last winter and
litters this spring have been far be.
low Iowa's standard, both in quantity
and quality.
All of which means, thinks Mr.
Riner, that good prices for farm prod.
ucts will obtain this fall. Producer.
in the middle west are pinning thei,
hopes on the belief that prices will b.
high for such stuff as they have. Ida
no farmers, Mr.. Riner believes, will b,
able to sell their stuff at a good profit
While in the east, Mr.. Riner attend
ed the charter presentation exercises
for Kiwanis club at Ida Grove
Having a brief part on the program
Mr. Riner took the opportunity to lau,
Idaho in general and the Boise Vale,
and Caldwell Kiwanis club in particu
lar. He recounted briefly what thi
club had done during its year of ex
istence.
Despite low wages and a dark out
look, prices are high in Iowa, accord
ing to Mr.. Riner. Flour is out O
sight and potatoes are selling for $2.2
per bushel. And the potatoes ar
small, soft and far inferior to potatoe
that are going to waste here RICH
now, according to Mr.. Riner.
Il am glad I'm back" declared MI
Riner. Irrigation for me. Those fel
lows back there worked hard thi
spring, and it looks now as if the,

BASEBALL CLUBS
HONOR NELSON
Games Halt Sunday in
Memory of Caldwell
Player.

In Difference to the memory of Rich
ard Nelson, killed here Wednesday in
an accident, every baseball game in
the Western Idaho league will be
halted few moments Sunday after
noon ~ The Caldwell game,
scheduled for Sunday afternoon here,
will be played as scheduled, according
to an announcement made Thursday
by R. T. HURT, local manager. Con-
sultation with DR.. w. E. Waldrop,
president of the league, resulted in
the decision for uniform Difference to
the popular Caldwell player.
Benedict will be shifted to first base
for Sundays game, Fisk will play
third and Cornell will come in from
left to his old station on short. Franz
back will take the left garden as his
regular stamping ground. Emmett,
league tailenders, has the distinction of
winning its only game of the season
thus far from Caldwell and the local
club is out for revenge.
Boise according to the latest dope,
is to be the Fourth of July baseball at
traction here. This team is always a
good drawing card and, win or lose,
fans are assured a scrappy game
any time Caldwell and the Capital
city outfit cross bats. Thus far this
season the two clubs have played three
games and Boise is on the long end of
the percentage column with two wins
and one defeat. At present, too, Boise
is leading the league following Weis-
er's defeat Sunday at the hands Of Par
ma.

Games.

Caldwell is again favored by the ap-
pearance of an organization that bids
TO outrival the Western Idaho League.
This is local organization of Sun

time and bore first fruit on June IL
when the Baptists beat the Christians
to ). Then followed hotly con-
tested game of real live baseball on
Monday evening when the Methodists
won from the Baptists by the score
OF u to IA. Every player on each
team made at least one run. The bat
teries were: Kim, Lively and Gordon
for the Methodists and Gaines, Bal
lard for the Baptists, with Redman as
umpire.
Tuesday evening the Christians
crossed bats with the Presbyterians.
There was lots of fun, lots of hitting,
lots OF romping round the diamond
and some good base ball Both teams
showed mettle and both showed good
craftsmanship in playing the game
with what men could be mustered for
the occasion. The batteries were: For
the Christians, Martin, Davis and Gil
bert; for the Presbyterians, Walters,

TRIES To SWIM
WAY To SAFETY
Perry La Vaughn Makes
Bold Attempt to Gain
Freedom.

why didn't you stop when I shot

asked Perry La Vaughn, who Tues
day morning negotiated near escape
from the county Jail and was cap
tured after swimming about a mile
down the Black Canyon canal.
81 would rather take a chance OF
being hit than go back to the peniten-
tiary," responded the youth. La
Vaughn, captured last week at Parma,
served year in the state prison on
an intermediate LA years term, and
now will have to go back within the
gray walls.
Tuesday morning, when William
Marsh, jailor, entered the Jail with
breakfast for the prisoners, he left the
door open momentarily. And La
Vaughn hurriedly closed and locked
the door, notified courthouse attaches

foot and obtained fair lead on his
pursuers. On the outskirts of town
he was pursued by fusilade of bull
lets that served only to quicken his
pace. Reaching the crest of Canyon
hill, he changed his method of max
ing getaway and resorted to the
Black Canyon canal. Pursuers were
not deceived by this strategy and
were waiting for him when he clamb-
cred out of the water a mile below
where he entered the canal.
A rumor to the effect that some
brewer or distiller of prohibited bev.

chase and, fancying that the posse was
hot on his trail, quickly destroyed all

Emmett to Have Next
Annual Encampment

Emmett will be the scene of the
next G. A. R. encampment, having
won this distinction after a contest
involving Weiser and the Gem county
seat. William Bowers is the new
state department G. A. R. commander
with the Rev. Smith of Idaho Falls
and A. A. Taylor of Boise as senior
and junior vice commanders.
The three-day encampment, held
this week in Caldwell, came to an end
Thursday. Three days of real fun and
royal reception from Caldwell citi-
zens marked this convention, regarded
by members of the three attending
organizations as a notably successful
one.

particularly of the Civil War period,

gram. A quartette composed of F. F.
Beale. Frank Mumford, A. A. Binford
and R. w. Cakes, Jr, sang several
numbers, c, c. Longley of Boise rep

All Crops Profit
From Warm Rains
Past Week Almost Ideal
Says Weather
Man.

BOlSE.-Where rain fell conditions
for rapid growth were all that could
be desired, there being sufficient soil
moisture to supply crop needs, plenty
of warmth, and adequate sunshine. In
the irrigated districts all crops ad-
vanced rapidly. Dry farm crops and
the range were greatly benefited by
the rains. In the northern counties,
where there has been scarcity of rain
during the entire season, conditions
were not so favorable, as crops are
generally needing more moisture.
Wheat is beginning to turn in the
Clearwater valley; it is in varying
stages of growth in the later districts,
but generally thriving. The fruit crop
is making promising progress. In the
principal commercial districts consid-
cradle thinning will be necessary. A
heavy crop of strawberries are ripen-
ing in the lower Payette valley and in
the Lewiston district raspberries will
soon be ready for market.
Haying was interrupted by showers
in some localities early in the week,
otherwise weather conditions were
entirely favorable for farm operations
Harvesting of the first cutting of al
falfa is general in all the early dis
tricts and the clear, warm weather
following the rain was fine for curing
hay.

RAID BLACKSMITH SHOP

Amateur burglars broke into Co.
wen's blacksmith shop at Nampa
Wednesday night, stole notes, value
less to the burglars but worth $4,000
to the firm, took about 81 worth of
stamps and SIPS in change, collected
a few dies and other pieces of valu-
able machinery and escaped without
detection. Entrance to the building
was gained through a window after
two others had failed to yield. The
notes stolen were bound in Liberty
bond packages and are supposed to
have been an incentive to their theft.
No arrests have been made as yet.

JUNIOR WORK To
BE NEW VENTURE
Red Cross Enlarges Pro-
gram; Excellent Re-
port Given.

At the June meeting of the Caldwell
Chapter, A. r. c., it was decided to
resume the work of the Junior Red
Cross, which has not been active in
this community the past three years.
Miss Ethel Bales was made chapter
chairman of this work, which will be
carried on in all the schools of the
community under the general direc-
ton of Miss Margaret. Knowlton
county superintendent of public in
struction.
A review of the months work
shows a decrease on the demands
made on the Red Cross in the matter
of general relief and clothing. Large
numbers have been assisted to find
work where self-support was possible
but the public health and nursing has
received the most attention and called
for the most expenditure. One school
girl from Parma branch was given
operation and disqualification under
the care of the Caldwell chapter, an
other child from Caldwell school was
given tonsilectomy. A homeless mar
relapsed from the flu was given q
weeks disqualification and the father
of a family, also a flu victim, ha.
been given medical treatment anc
medicine and other supplies provided
Operation and disqualification was Sc
cured for man with family, who viii
now be able to provide for his family

ton to a formidable and constantly
growing list of Republican candidates
for county and state offices. Mr..
Brown filed his nominating petition
Thursday afternoon, a candidate for
the legislative house. Mr. Brown is
farmer-livestock man, for years has
taken leading part in Canyon county

NELSON CALLED
WHEN ACCIDENT
OCCURS IN PIT
Broken Back Results
When Truck Gets Out
of Control on County
Job Near Greenleaf.

Richard "Dick" Nelson popular first
baseman on the Caldwell baseball team
and widely known about town, died
Wednesday afternoon shortly after
sustaining injuries in an accident at
the county gravel pit near Greenleaf
Driving truck from the pit, he struck
beam and broken back resulted
just what transpired probably will
never be known. Nelson was driving
a road truck. According to the best
possible information, he had driven
the car into the pit, backing the ma
chine down an incline under an over
head loading device. Under the me-
thods of loading employed, the for
ward of three gravel bins in the truck
had been loaded and Nelson was pre-
pairing to drive the truck forward
few feet to fill the second bin.
The facts are established. Accord
ing to Jack Terry, supervisor of this
road work, the driver on truck back
ing into the pit never normally gets
under the overhead dumping device.
1t is believed that Nelson in preparing
to drive forward, in some manner
backed the machine. At any rate,
when man driving fresh load of
gravel onto the overhead way noticed
that Nelson was directly below. Ac-
cordingly he withheld dumping until
Nelson would be out of the way.
1t is presumed that Nelson, observ-
ing the load of gravel overhead and
anticipating that it might be dumped
upon him, FASTENED to get out of the
way. At any rate, the truck at high
speed, flashed out of the pit, up a
sharp incline and halted only when it
plunged into fence. When the dust
cleared, Nelson was sitting upright
but suddenly toppled over in the seat.
i According to the theory advanced,
it is thought that Nelson may have
left the gears in low after backing into
the pit. Without realizing this, he
backed farther under the overhead
than is customary. By bending for
ward it is possible for man to do
this. But in leaving the pit, the beam
caught him from in front and practi-
cally jackknifed his back. Fractured
cervical vertebrae resulted in paralysis
almost from the shoulders down. 9th
err injuries probably also were subtain-
ed. Death was directly caused by
paralysis of the brain centers gov
erning respirator organs.
4 Regaining consciousness about five
minutes after the accident, Nelson said
that his back was broken and asked
for his wife who was formerly Miss
Elizabeth O'Connor of Caldwell and
that his mother in Portland be mott
fed. He was rushed to a local hos
pital where every attention was Civ
en- him but death came within a brief
time after the accident
