ex-Commissioner of the General
Laud ufllce Binger Hermann,
ex Congressman J. 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

out for a recommendation oi

by the other jurors, he voted

next few days, or as soon as
ho completes a small job of

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

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

The Redmond Fair opens to
day and will continue through
tomorrow and Saturday. The
management of the fair has ar
ranged an attractive program
for the entertainment of their
visitors, and it is expected that
there will be quite a large at
tendance from various Crook
county points. Considerable
interest is manifested in the
fair by farmers of the irrigated
lauds under the several ditches
in that locality, and this insures
an attractive agricultural ex
hibit, which, will in itself be
well worth going up there to

there win be other exhibits of
grasses, grains, vegetables, etc.,
rom all sections ol the county,
attractive premiums having
been offered for the different
kinds of products, and there

Ruby Robinson in this locality
were greatly shocked and
grieved ou last Thursday, to
learn of her death at the Sani

was taken lor treatment the
first of last week. The cause
of her death was appendicitis,
the patient having been re
moved to The Dalles on the
preceding Monday and an oper

but too late to save her life. At

only a few of her friends realized
how seriously ill she was
Ruby was the eldest daugh-
ler oi Kucii itobmson, who Jives
a short distance south of Mad

age. Her mother died about
three years ago in The Dalles,
since which time she has had the
sole care of a younger brother

of them has been all that a
mother could have given them,
and it is upon these motherless
children that ner loss falls most
heavily.

happy disposition, and b..re the
great sorrows that her stiori lile
had brought her cheerfully aud

gentle disposition and engaging

in contact with her. n
Interment took nlace at Th

H, A.
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
