HUNT CAPTORS
OF IDAHO CHIEF
Four Bandits Who Tied
Lieutenant Governor to
Tree Escape

OROFINO, Idaho. June 49,
Several thousand men and boys
searched this mountainous country
today for the four young bandits
who yesterday abducted w. B.
Kline, lieutenant governor of Ida
no, and two men who attempted to
rescue him.
Kline escaped uninjured after
he had been tied to a tree. w. L.
Tribbey Of an Idaho loan associa-
ton, and Paul Kille, a lumber work
er, attempted to rescue Kline when
the bandits halted his automobile.
Kille was shot in the leg and was
dubbed over the head and Tribbey
was badly beaten.
Robbery and the theft OF Rinne's
automobile apparently were the mo-
tives for the abduction.
Kline, travelling from Lewiston TO
is home here. was attacked by the
bandits shortly after leaving Lew
iston. They boarded his car and
ordered him into the rear. Near
Orofino, Kline said. a front tire
blew out and the automobile cata-
pulled into a ditch.
When Trib5ey and Kille drove up
they started to assist the wreck vic

pistols. In a struggle. Kille was
shot and battered into unconscious

driving they stopped near Greer.

The world peace pact seems to be
having wonderful time down at
Washington among the silver haired
solons and rightfully so. 1t certain
ly would be wonderful thing if all
the nations of the world would band
together on a proposition of this
kind and forever outlaw war. 1t is
also wonderful thing that we have
a congress. which considers and re-
considers a proposition of this kind
before jumping at conclusions pre-
scented by the outward appearance,
and adopting it regardless of what
its probable result would be on the
nation. Some of the nations of the
world have already ratified the pact,
which shows that they are willing to
be peaceful, but it is well that the
proposition be given careful cOnsfd-

PAPER FROM CORNSTALKS

In political circles it is generally
believed that United States Senator
Thomas D. Schall and Governor Theo-
dore Christianson will go to bat in the
Republican primaries of 1880 for the
nomination to the office of United
States senator. Folks in general have
not always approved of the campaign
tactics of Senator Schall but it must
be conceded that he is a hard fighter,
why man. brainy man, and comes
bobbing up fresh again when it is
sometimes thought that he is through.
His latest mOve-and one for prac-
teal farm relief that of introducing
bill to appropriate a million dollars
for demonstrating plant in Mime
sofa for the manufacture of paper
from farm wastes such as cornstalks,
flax, rice, and wheat straw, and sugar
cane pulp, is one that will likely worry
the governor and his supporters.
A fund of S16,OO0,0OO has been rails
ed by foreign paper manufacturers
in Canada to invest in big American
daily newspapers. 1t is claimed that
more will be forthcoming if needed.
The purpose is to sign up the big
dailies on 15-yea- contracts on their
paper supply, thus making small bus
mess for those who may later man.
ufacture paper out of farm wastes,
and perhaps entirely kill off the bill
introduced by Senator Schall.
The American has a sample sheet
of paper manufactured from corn
stalks down at Danville, H., site of
the first commercial cornstalk paper
pulp mill, and center of the most eX-
tensive research into farm waste util-
iZation carried on. The cornstalk
paper was used in the Chamber of
Commerce publication and looks like
a very good sheet of book paper. 1t
is a dream of farmers, vision of
chemists and a goal of manufacturers
for many years that has at last been
brought to realization in Danfille.

of Benjamin Franklin, American writ
er and statesman, who was born in
Boston January II. 1706 and died in
Philadelphia April II, 1890.
He is noted for his origination and
publishing of Poor Richards Alma
nae; his experiments with the kite
to show that electricity existed in
the air; his invention of the Franklin
stove; his devising of an improved
printing press over those in use at
that time, and numerous other accom-
plishments. which have added mater

THE SALVATION ARMY

On the commonly tranquil seas that
the good ship of the Salvation Army
has sailed upon since its foundation
in 1865, there has arisen a wave,
which has caused the good ship to
rise and fall like the ships of the
ancient mariners, who sailed on the
turbulent seas of yore.
For upwards of 63 years the Army
has done its work of salvation and
has helped the poor and needy in both
body and soul in many lands. 1t was
founded and is now headed by the
same, Gen. Bramwell Booth. Now the
chief has become stricken with ILL
ness and the infirmities of old age.
Other powers within the vast organ
ization have deemed it best to have
a new commander. There has been
an eruption, which has been gaining
in proportion until now it seems to
endanger the otherwise tranquility
of the organization. The reform
group is headed by the generals sis

BONDS NOT NEEDED

W. P Hogan of Kerrick, in his Ho-
ans Mirror wrote in the jan 1st is
sue as follows:
''In the last issue of the American
they side with Governor Christensen
on his stand against the bond issue
on the ground that the pay as you
go method is best. Perhaps they are
right We are firm believers in pay
as you go except where it is evident
that go as you pay is more profit
able. Let us presume that the road
from the creamery in Askov to the
warehouse was a swampy stretch of
road and that all bagas and spuds
had to go over that road. That teams
would have to come half loaded or
have a helper team to pull the full
load over this stretch. Now let's pre-
sumo the income from taxes was so
small that when it was all spent on
this road there was no improvement
but if $4,000 could be put on the
road at one time. it would make l.
solid for years to come. We ask if
the good community of Askov would
not spend that $4,000 and issue an
order against next years levy? We
think they would. 1t would be good
business. The cases are somewhat
parallel"
The stretch of road from the
creamery to the warehouse in Askov
is about to this community what
highway No. 1, the paved road, is to
the state and both are in good shape;

no bonding needed for either. Min
nesota has been state for II years
and even when it has been state
for II years more there will be road
stretches here and there that need
improvement. Enough bonds have
been issued in the past by townships,
villages, counties, and the state that
it will be we'll to lay low on them at
least for a while. AS before stated
if we issue bonds now and build GER
tain roads in the next five or
ten years when the time is up there
will be other roads that need atten-
ton and again a cry for bonds. 1t
is endless and there is a time to call
halt That time has arrived. See
what happened to Beltrami and Lake
of the Woods counties. Looks like
the state will have to come to their
rescue.
Mr.. Hogan was against part of the
gasoline tax being spent on county
roads. Certainly those roads are of
more Importance to the rural people
than the trunk roads as No. 1, and
they are of more Importance to the
general welfare of the state Without
good roads to the farms and without
general prosperity and contentment on
the farms the city people will suffer
even though many of them are not
able to see it. But what surprises
us is, that general merchant living
out here in the rural districts, a
neighbOr to the farmers, and making
his living off the farmers, is opposed
to part of the gasoline tax being
spent on the county roads and so
strong for bonding for the trunk roads
when we need many improvements on
county and township roads right here

negligible compared to the trade of

Two years ago Mr.. Hogan took an
automobile trip through Iowa and
made complaint of the road system
there, adding: I'm Minnesota. if we

REGARDING THAT EXTENSION
WORK AND THAT COUNTY FAIR

In reading the minutes of the cOun-
ty commissioners meeting | noticed
that the appropriation of S15O0.O0 for
extension work was voted down by a
majority of three. AS to whether or
not that was wisely done l shall not
say; but right after that it states in
the minutes that an appropriation of
81, 100000 for the Pine County fair as
ISOLATION was granted.
Now, it appears to me that the eX-
tension work is great deal more
important for the farmers of this
county than the holding of fair
where there will be nothing much to
see unless the extension work is con-
tinued, except few fakirs, a horse
race or two and some games of
chance 1t seems to me that the COM
miSsioners, to be consistent, should
have voted that item down too. Then
there would have been saving of
stead of $1500O0, and agriculture, ac-
cording to this reasoning. would be
Just as we'll off or better.
| am also of the opinion that it
would have been fairer if the commits
sioners had prorated this 100000
among all the fairs of the county.
Why should we from the northern
part of the county be taxed to keep
a fair going at Pine City, and then
dig down in our own pocket to dig UP
the money to pay for our own fair?
Is that fair?

ter, Commander Evangeline Booth
and this group has deputized COM
mission to ask the aged general to
retire on account of the state of his
health.
For the good and the effectiveness
of the Army, it is best that the pres
ent leader does retire. He is aged,
sick and broken. He cannot manage,
to the best advantage, an organiza-
ton that has grown until now it en-
braces almost every civilized country
in the world. He has carried his mis-
sion here on earth to the heights.
He has accomplished, it seems what
he set out to accomplish. Why
shouldn't he turn over the affairs to
a younger and more active leader?
