CHARACTER SKETCH OF
HURLEY AND TIPTON
Discuss Ways and Means to
Fool the People
ANYTHING BUT TRUTH GOES
(With dun acknowledgement and
apology to Mr. Dunne, from his friend.
Handy Andy.)
After consuming a glass of water
and a tooth pick at the leading Vale
hostlery, Dooley Tipton and Hennessy
Hurley tilted their chairs hack for a
social pipe fest and Hennlssy re
marked; "I'm Just back fr'm a brief and love
ly visit to an Aunt back east that
may leave me her goat and wash tub
some day, if I'm good and lucky; an
upon returnln' to me offls I find the
Malyuro FInterprlse, an' git me first

sub-marines mlssln. Th' leadln' ar
tlckle on whut Vale haa done to tho
county was a beuat. I wonder who
the scribe was that had the above
mlntloned brain storm."
"Hlnnlssy, me young frl'nd thare
ar' mlny things you will always won
der nbout" says Dooley, slowly puffing
Dukes mixture, "now who shid write
ar'tlcles f'r the paper, but Jawn?
Whether 'tis parole Jawn or payroll
Jawn, whut's to ye? The one is the
titular head of the Ancient & Awful
order of Prevaricators, and tother Is
past grand master of the name flour
ishing society."
Hut kin Jawn prove Iny thing; will
the back-hlllers fall f'r hit guff?''
Asked Hennessey; "Sure they will,"
retorted Dooley, 'dont Jawn an' all of
us yawp about the millions in taxes
that will never be levied? Don't wo
love the lilg Hind hlrdgc an' the Nyssa
Mor farm' Don't we love the dead
ox or w'atever tl down beyond the
Hutte? An' now f'r the flrt time in
our hlKl'ry we ar' aglimt a game that'
hard to work, nlver have wo lot an'
we have bad the cream plckln' r'r
year" an' now that burg at the Junc
tion ha ralHed the money aud bid lair
to rob ua of that which Is not our and
which we never fully paid f'r." And
Dooley almost Mobbed.
"Let rally the I. e' an' debate with
the big stiffs' huskily uggeted Hen
nessey; "Rally iiuwthln'. snorted
Dooley, .tint me an' the Jawns an' a
bunch of women and Col. Wheeler ral
lied an' yelled high taxes until we ar'
black In th' face? Who ml you debate
with? Y'r political experience is
agin' ye; an alo ran is no debater,
lilnnlsMey, molnd that."
Hennessey was properly subdued,
but timidly remarked; 1 wonder

Now who ha the cash box, do ye

shid hope I do; but you are too

"Hut we miiHt fight f'r our rights:
we have a galyaut lulu as ever faced
a liar; some of tin m have stood all

uessey. "Quit y'r ktddiu' boy; the soft pedal

mingled with hopes of victory over
came them entirely aud they shambled
out.
"Will ye have sumthln'? say Hen
nessey; "yes" says Dooley, "1 am as
dhry as the Hully crlk ditch."
"Come on down to th' river, its
cheaper" says Henuessey.
MARKET PRICE CAUSE
OF ARGUMENT
A lesson In Protection strouger than
any argument is supplied by a busi
ness transaction between a New York
hay and grain buyer aud an Ohio
agency. The buyer ordered 16 car
loads of hay at the market price. The
contract had scarcely been closed
v lieu a tclci-ram reached the agency
that Canadian hay was offered at f2
less a ton aud the buyer wanted the
order for Ohio hay canceled The re
sult was that the hay crop in Ohio
dropped imti'tdiaiely $2 a ton. The
Tariff on hay is just one half what
it formerly was, and the American
(uriner suffers accordingly.

Aged Prospector Drops From Sight.
Murray. No word has been receiv

pector, nearly 76 years old, for two
weeks. His wife and friends have be
oome alarmed and all available men
from here, a well as the ranchers and
forest rangers on the Montana divide,
are searching the mountains eaat of
the Jack Walte and Paragon mines
trying to locate him.
H is feared some evil has happened
to him. for severe rain and snowfall
made prospecting difficult even for a
young man, while Miller was weak at
the time he left here.
War Drives Man Insane.
Net Perce. Worry, caused by the
war, haa caused Henry 81ebms, a pros
perous rancher, who resides near this
city, to become mentally unbalanced,
and he has been taken to a sanitarium
In Portland. Roth Mr. Siehms and his
wife have many relatives In Oermsny
and Austria, but owing to the censor
ship they have been unable to learn
anything of their people, which preyed
upon Mr. Siehms' mind.
IDAHO JURIST IS DEAD
Paralysis Attack is fatal to Chief
Justice Stewart.
Boise. The death of Justice Stew
art, of the supreme court of this state
at Dr. Williamson's sanitarium In
Portland, creates another vacancy on
the supreme bench of Idaho which
Governor Haines will be required to
fill by appointment until a successor
can be elected at the next general
olectlou. Death was due to a general
breakdown in health following a
stroke of paralysis during the Coeur
d'Alena term of court last spring. He
had been In the Portland sanitarium
for four months.
Oeorge it Stewart was born In Con
norsvllle, Ind . Feb 26, 1858, and was
admitted to the Indiana bar In 1881

moved to Nebraska.
From 1897 to 107 he was district
Judge in the third Judicial district of
Idaho, and associate Justice of the su
preme court from 1907 until a year
ago, when he became chief Justice.
Politically, Mr. Stewart was a re

VALE USES SCRIP
TURAL QUOTATIONS
"What Dial hath Joined together let
no man put asunder." This one scrip
tural quotation is the argument Utat
Vale is using as the reason why they
should remain the county seat Vale
ha threatened to enjoin the letting of
the bridge at Harper. They have
threatened to enjoin the issue of the.
court house bonds at Ontario. They
have threatened to enjoin the sale
of the bonds. They have threatened tr
enjoin the removal of the county re
cords If Ontario wins. They have
threatened to enjoin everything in
sight and everybody who doesn't live
In Vale. Threats to enjoin have been
ao numerous they have changed tho
quotation to read "what Ood hath
enjoined together let no man put as
under." KEEP THE ROAD
GRADER BUSY NOW
Now Is the time, after each rain, lo

has been shown that the drag ia a
HUcceaM In making the roads better
and it ha been shown that the best
time to use it Is when the soil la
moist. To work the roads now will
give good highways for many montha
and will make them better all winter.
There are several roads in the coun
try that need working and there ar
several drags that are ready to work.
There are also many runners who
have finished their fall work and have
time to use them now. They should
aid lu making the roads better. Th
city man with an auto could also
Join in and help in the work. Another
Good Roads Day for the sole purpose
of using the drags would help right
now. If we cannot have auch a con
certed movement there should be an
effort by all who can work.
Do your share in making the roads
better for all winter and all time by
giving a few hours to the road.
A farmer tells us that he haa prac

use of gasoline. He carries) a bottle
and a bunch of cotton batting with
him while working In the field and
when he sees a gopher run Into a hole
he pours some gasoline upon a wad.
of cotton and places It at the mouth,
of the hole and covers the opening
with dirt. The gas fumes are heavier
than air and go to the bottom of tho
hole. In an attempt to get air, the
gopher comes to the top of the hole
and the gas does the rest. Remove
