the committing of crime at the be-
hest of the organization was of al
most daily occurrence, ranging In
degree from the beating and driving
from the country under threat OF
death of peaceable citizens who dared
to criticise this organization, to de-
struction of property and murder;
eliminating in the wanton and ter
rible riots OF April 10Th, 1893; would
serve no useful purpose. Sufficient
it is to say that the heroic action of
Governor Steunenberg broke up this
criminal organization, restored per-
manent order, and drove organized
crime from the State never to return.
After his retirement from office he
actively engaged in assisting large
plans for developing the resources of
the State. With no further politi-
cal ambitions, he was devoting his
entire time to the upbufding of Ida

engaged in this struggle to preserve

STEUNENBERG
MEMORIAL
(continued from page onel

Continued from page one)
Boise, Secretary.
The purpose of the association is
the collection of funds to pay for,
and the erection OF suitable monu-
ment to perpetuate the memory of
Ex-Governor Steunenberg.
Frank Steunenberg was born at
Keokuk, Iowa, August Sth, 1861. His
parents came from Holland. He was
educated in the public schools of
Iowa and graduated from the State
Agricultural College at Ames He
was printer by trade, worked on
the Des Moines Register, came to
Idaho in 1886, and with his brother
became the owner and Publisher of
the Caldwell Tribune.

meath the sod today her most illus
trious son.
Frank Steunenberg was of the
rareet type of manhood Open, sim
cere, modest and unassuming, he was
in his purposes and plans as infexi-
bic as honor itself. Rugged in body,
resolute in mind, almost massive in
the strength of his convictions-he
was of the granite hewn. In all my
acquaintance l have never known
one more unusually gifted in moral
will power. SO
Il doubt not last Saturday night
he paid the highest debt one can pay
for his country. l candidly believe
that had he known years before the
debt which would be demanded, still
he would have paid; recreancy to
duty was a stranger to his nature"
At the time of the Act, of the Lee
gislature in 1917, it was estimated
that a suitable memorial would cost
thirty thousand dollars. The State
appropriated by this Act fifteen thou
sand dollars to pay one-haH the ex-
pense, the money to be available
when the Association raised fifteen
thousand dollars additional. The
executive committee had just organ
lied for action when the United
States entered the World War
Every resource of the State was then
needed to assist in the war and we
were advised by the Governor of the
State and the proper Federal au-
horities to postpone the enterprise
until after the war. This was done. |
Cost Of constructing the memorial
has increased since 1917 and the
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1925-02-27

committee now estimates that it
must raise twenty thousand dollars.
They feel that the time has now ar
rived when this matter, long defer
red, should be brought to a success
full conclusion and they desire to
raise this money by a popular sub
-cription among the people of the
state. They feel that an appeal to
our people to erect a suitable monu-
ment to the memory of our martyr
ed governor will not be in vain. A
very small donation from each citi-
zen of the State would accomplish
the purpose. However, all cannot be
reached, so they appeal to each per-
son to make as large a donation as
his or her means will justify. The
money may be turned over to the To-
cal chairman, Charles Faraday.
The committee has selected as
suitable memorial a bronze figure of
Ex-Governor Steunenberg, life size,
on granite pedestal. They have Sc
lected, with the approval of Cover
nor c. C. Moore and the State Capitol
Board. a prominent location for the
facing the capitol build
ing.

thresher may be easily adjusted to

Beans do not require nearly as
much moisture as alfalfa. BY having

enty and ninety pounds of seed per

proven that the culture of beans has
been much more profitable to the
farmers than good wheat harvest.

crop as they have no natural enc

The cost of cleaning and planting
are nominal. Cleaning will cost

The Great Northern bean are
found to be the best seed in the Twin

is one of the heaviest producers, yet
it is believed in that section that the
season is hardly long enough to al
