much alarmed over the condition of
the wheat so far, though It Iooks as
though It would be a little short In
places. If the winds later do not hurt
the crop when the weather gets
warmer, there Is no danger of a
great loss In the crop, and as the far
mers expect good prices, an average
year Is looked for unless something
unusual happens.

750,000 NEW FOREST TREES
IN STATE OF IDAHO
The Pocatello national forest being
considered by the federal government
as one of the most Important water
sheds in the northwest, extensive for
est planting work will be carried on
during the next few years. Millions
of forest tree slips will be set out
within the confines of the reserve In
order to clothe the forest with a heavy
growth of the hardiest and best trees
known to the science of forest culture.
During the month of May 35,000 3-year-old
Douglas fir trees were plant
ed on the sunny slopes of the moun
tains along the west fork of Mink
creek, and hereafter the entire pro
duct of the big Mink creek refores
tation station will be used Inside the
Pocatello reserve. The forcing beds
at this station have ft Capacity of
750,000 seedlings, which, when they
attain the age of one year, are trans
planted to the hlg transplant beds,
Here they are permitted to mature
and at the end of two more years
are taken to the open and planted in
the natural forest.
The work of planting In the open
last month was under the direct su
pervlsion of Gilmore MacDonald of
Washington, D. C, a special agent of
the forest extension department of
the forestry bureau. Since the first of
May he has also directed the trans
planing of hundreds of thousands of
seedlings from the forcing beds.
It is estimated that every three
years the transplanted beds on Mink
creek will turn out 760,000 young
trees for forest planting within the
borders of the Pocatello forest. The
35,0000 Douglas fir slips which were
planted last month on the west fork
came from the Halsey planting sta
tlon in Utah, but after this, the Mink
creek station will furnish all the slips
possible of handling In this reserve,
The forest extension work in thla
part of the Btate Is under the general
supervision of Supervisor Peter Wren-
eted of this city, but the department
pursues a policy' of sending to the
station its most expert men to attend
to the details of the work.

Governor Will Bo Asked to Extend
Clemency o Murderer.
Determined that Joseph Anderson
alias Joe Betts, shall not hang for
the murder of Engineer Logan, the
crime of which he was convicted by a
Jury in the circuit court last winter,
Dlans have been made to appeal to
Governor Chamberlain for a reprieve,
should the appeal to the supreme
court prove futile. The appeal has
been extended till next Saturday, and
Anderson's attorney, John A. Jeffrey,
Says that the right of appeal will not
be forfeited.
The date of Anderson's hanging has
been set at a week from next Friday
June 26. But the appeal will prevent
the execution. Should the supreme
court affirm the conviction the plan
Is to appeal for executive clemency
on the ground of Insanity. Attorney
Jeffrey said this morning that there
is no question of Anderson's insanity,
and that It would have been offered
as a defense at the trial had not An
derson absolutely refused to permit
It.
"Anderson had his head stove In
when he was a boy, and the effects of
it are still noticeable on his skull,"
said Attorney Jeffrey this morning.
"He would not nermlt a defense of
Insanity at the trial saying that he
would rather hang than be adjudged
Insane. But such a fear is often one
of the symptoms of Insanity.
"In my opinion we have excellent
grounds for reversal of the conviction
or appeal, but should the supreme
court take a different view of the
matter, we shall ask that a lunacy
commission be appointed to determine
Anderson's sanity, and will ask the
governor for a pardon on that ground.
If Anderson is adjudged Insane, he
will be committed to the asylum, of
course."
The time for filing the appeal would
have expired Monday, but Attorney
Jeffrey secured an extension of the
time to Saturday, and said this morn
Ing he would have his appeal perfect
ed by that day without fail. Ander
son Is now being held at the state pen,

The conviction was secured on cir
