ORCHARD TRIAL SATURDAY
Caldwell. Jan, 12 The decision of the
attorneys interested in the prosecution of
the murder case against Harry Orchard
not to grant the request of Attorney Fred
Miller for the defense to postpone the pre
liminary examination of the prisoner for
a week was received here with evident
satisfaction .The prosecuting attorney
voices the general opinion that nothing
could be gained by a postponment of the
case beyond Saturday.
Prosecutor Van Duynwas assured yes
terday in Boise that Chemist Jones would
have his analyses of the suspisious powd
ers and liquid! ready by that time. There
seems absolutely no doubt but there will
be sufficient evidence at hand to insure
that Orchard will be bound over for trial
in the district court , .
It is reported that immediately after the
preliminary examination. Orchard, being
bound over for trial, that he will be taken
o Boise to await the convening of the dis
trict court which is slated for February
20. For this reason, if for no other, it is
deemed advisable to have the preliminary
examination as soon as possible, for the
jail facilities here are not adequate for
the holding of a man charged with the
crime of which Orchard is suspected.

A TRIAL SOLICITED
-SO TIRED"
A woman 51 years old took her own
lifa in Chicago recently, leaving to her
sorrowing family this only explanation:
"I am so tired, so tired there is so much
to do." She had finished her task before
she had sought death. Her home had
been made clean and neat A heavy
washing had been dried, ironrd and laid
out in neat orderly piles. Then she had
gone to the attic of the little home and
with her own tired hands had welcomed
death. There is a sad lesson to the living
who mav still have a tired mother in the
household, bearing the heavy burdens
uucomplainingly. and should be dear to
whom she cares for so faithfully. She
should be given every help possible from
the stronger sons and daughters who are
neglecting the home duties that they
might perform, leaving for them for the
tired mother to do. "I am so tired, so
tired there is so much to do." To many
a good mother feels it as she goes on
bearing the burdens. Too many well
grown children forget it as they seek
pleasure and pastime and constantly add
to the burdens of the mother which
should be lightened as the years go by.

EUa EAM1NE
The coal famine which struck Baker
City early in the winter is now sweeping
over the towns of Eastern Oregon and
Southern Idaho. In Payette where they
have no wood, it is said the famine is very
acute as over 200 families are out of coal
and all of the schools have been closed
down.
There was a brief breathing spell in the
Baker City situation this week, when a
few cars of coal were received by local
dealers. But this did not last long and
the demand for fuel is , far from being
satisfied. The Brooklyn school was fur
nished with coal through the efforts of
Mayor Johns, who took the matter up di
rectly with the raliroad people. .
