N. William son, State Senator F. P. Mays, VV. JN. J ones and (ieorgo doren- son were charged with conspir acy to defraud the government, but in the case iust closed only Mays, Jones and Sorenson were on nial. Death removed Sena tor Mitchell irom the case; Bin ger nermann's trial was de layed by a stipulation made .some time ago that he should hrst be tried on an indictment against him in the District of Columbia, and Williamson was not brought to trial because the government had already se-i ured his conviction on another charge of conspiracy and be lieved that he had been suffi ciently punished. Sentence was not pronounce d, a stay of sentence having been secured until the necessary proceedings on appeal cau by perfected, and the matter of pronouncing sen tence was continued for the term. Only three ballots were taken by tho jury', the first ballot re- suiting in eieven for cdnviotion and one for acquittal: on the second oauot tue tweittn niror voted lor conviction, but held out for a recommendation oi mercy, aud this being refused by the other jurors, he voted on the third ballot for an un conditional verdict of guilty. i ue extreme penalty in a case of this nature is a fine of $10, 000 aud imprisonment for a term of two years. south side of town, within the next few days, or as soon as ho completes a small job of (inning ne nas ior tne Madras Milling Company. W hue drill ing the hole on the south side of town, the dnll broke into -a crevice, shortly after which work was discontinued. As several wells below and in line of this hole have been dry at times during tho past summer, it is believed by many people that the water supply for those wells has been wasting through the hole which Mr. Loveland drilled, and it is for this reason that he will plug it above the crevue. until a plutr was driv en down some little distance into the hole, it was possible at any time to hear water running into it. A WAR ON RUSSIAN THISTLE The Russian thistle is doom ed on the Twin Palls tract if the ranchers, the Land & Water Company and the 0. S. L. rail way succeed in their efforts to exterminate it. The tract will bo gone over from Milner to Buhl aud the pest cremated Irom one end of it to the other. Tho city of Twin Falls will be hand picked and not a stalk of thistle left within its limits or vicinity. General Manager Faria of the Laud & Water company has a force of men at work on the main canal already, pluck ing the Russian thistle aud burning the stalks. The high and low line canals will be inspected from end to end and every thistle consigned to the flames. The farmers are taking a hand in the campaign and the !ii i i .-i i . uuuiiuB win uo uieaieu oi mis tie in a'l sections. The roads will also receive careful atten lion, the idea being to make as thorough a clean up as pos sible before Ihe seed from the present crop has a chance to spread. The uiegim Short liine will clear its" right of way from Barley to Twin Falls and will see to it that the Russian this tle is not only pulled but burned. Simply pulliug the weeds will nor sulllce. The village trustees and the townsito company have set men to work pulling and burn ing thistles within tho city lim its. They will nuiKe a lot to ot inspection and put every thistle to the torch.

Millard French brought in a. couple of stools of dry land wheat from from tho French Bros.' ranch on Hinton creekt Monday, which he will send to the Jamestown exposition fou exhibit next year. Une variety of the wheat was what he called White Russian,, which Mr. French says wna his best yielder- In one field he harvested 40 bushels per acre of this wheat this season. and last year he says the yielcj rmo uv uuouuio per uuie, Dup it was hand planted and drv farmed. The stool that 1m brought in Monday of this variety contained 220 'stalky with well-filled heads with an average of five berries to tho. mesh. Forty bushels is a cood crop1 any year, but a season like this it is the exception and certainly places this variety a long way in tho lead in noiut oi yield. The other variety that Mrt French will place on exhibit at the Jamestown fair is a hybrid, and although he has not tested it thoroughly, Mr. French tbinjts it is almost as large a yielder as theWhite Russian. It was grown in the same manner and has the same number of grains to the mesh although the beads do not appear as large and fluffy as the Russian, but i does not shatter as easily. The French Bros, run a kind of experiment station of their own on their Hinton creek ranch and aie getting some very satisfactory results from different kinds of grain, potar toes and vegetables with tkei? . scientific farming. The samples brought in Mon. day are certainly a good illus. nation of what can be done by "dry land" or intensive farming, Pendleton East Oregonian.
