WILL NOT MOVE
T0 IDAHO
Report of Former Malheur
County Attorney's Re
moval not Correct Will
Remain in Portland-Now
Boosting for Woodrow
Wilson as President
Portland, Ore. .Aug 8:-Judge Will
R. King, former associate justice of
the supreme court of Oregon and now
a practicing lawyer of Portland, does
not contemplate and has not contemp
lated removing to Boise, as has been
published in a number of eastern Ore
gon and southern Idaho papers. Judge
King, having property interests in
Idaho, recenly made an exchange for
an interest in some real estate about
12 miles from Boise. Someone remark
ed that he must be going to Idaho to
live, and this chance statement grew
and grew until it became half column
stories in the press of his intended
departure from Oregon and probable
entrance into the field of Idaho politics.
Judge King Bald today :
"I think highly of Idaho and believe
Boise will be a great city, but I have
been a resident of Oregon for 40 years
and have no intention whatever of
leaving a state that has been partic
ularly kind to me. If there were no
Oregon, Idaho would be next best
choice, of course.
"I regret that a small deal involv
ing some realty tributary to Boise
has been the cause of an erroneous
idea becoming widespread, but I mean '
to remain with my established Oregon
practice, meanwhile contributing what
I can until November toward the elec
tion of our next president Woodrow
Wilson."
BUMPER CROPS
THROUGHOUT THE
MALHEUR VALLEY
The outlook for bumper crops in the
Malheur Valley this year is encourag
ing, according to reports received here
daily from the farmers. They have
been vastly benefited by the recent
rains and every indication gives
promise of a good yield of evey variety
of farm product. The alfalfa seed
crop which will soon be ready for
harvest, and which is one of the main
probducts of Malheur county, will be
better than usual, while the fruit crop
looks equally encouraging. The fruit
raisers declare the fruit to be free
from pest and say they look for a yield
above the average in quality as well
as quantity. ,
There are several instances where
land that was covered with sagebrjsh
90 days ago today is yielding corn
nine feet high and potatoes 200 bush
els to the acre. The dry land ex
periments, which are being t.ied a
few miles from Vale, are proving
satisfactory and are being watched
with interest. Many believe this
sort of farming will prove a success
in many sections of this country.
