The Thaw case has at last got its
jury selected and the trial is now
going on. much to the delight of the
lovers of that kind of reading. From
a sensible point of view, how much
better it would have been had White
killed Thaw as well, and thus save
the public the exhibition now going
on.
The sub-committee of-the joint
railroad committee of the house and
senate appointed to draft a 2-eent
passenger rate bill has completed its
work and presented a bill to that
effect, using the former law amended
to read 2 instead of 3 cents per mile.
It will probably come before the two
houses some day this week.
In answer to the query of the
Aurora Sun of last week. “What does
the editor of the Northwestern, a re
publican newspaper, think of his re
form legislature?'' our answer is that
a majority are all right, while a few.
like some of the fusion members, need
a good deal of "lisin." But do not
think. Dear Sun. that the buckers
against the remedial matters favored
by the last state republican platform
will succeed in their aims, but rather
that the anti-pass, state-wide primary
and other needed measures will be
come laws in spite of the insane desire
of the opposition that they may not.
because of their republican parentage

Boise, Idaho. Jan. 30. 1907—Editor
Northwestern: I will try and write
you a few lines this evening to let
you know that I has n't forgotten you.
We are all well and enjoying good
health. We are having a tine wdnter.
with some snow which does not stay
long, as we have gone to bed several
nights with the ground covered with
snow and when we got up it was all
gone. This is a tine climate here and
so far we all like it real well, and the
big red apples are fine. Boise is a
good town, there being a great deal of
improvement going to be done this
summer. The government is going
to spend $300,000 on their fort and are
building an electric rail row! from
Boise to Eagle, then to Star and Col
well. Boise has over 20,0<K) inhabit
ants now and has the making of a
good place. I have bought property
here and we are at home again. This
is a great fruit country. the tnest in
the world. We have all kinds of fruit,
cherries, peaches, prunes and a large
plum on our property, which is just
outside of the city, so we are on a
Rural Route, street cars and schools
within two blocks. Property is pretty
high here, but is changing all the
time. I think it a better place to live
in than in Nebraska, as we don't have
the cold winds to contend with. The
snow is several feet deep on the
mountains and the ground is black,
and lots of water in the river, which
means good crops nest year. I have
been fishing once since I came and we
caught lfi fish with pitchforks, and it
is fine sport. They have had more
winter than they have had for years,
so old timers tell me. Well. 1 will
close for this time. Yours truly.

Here are some of the subjects for
discussion before the institute: Read
for the farmer himself, for his wife
and for his. sons and daughters: liter
ature relating to his life work: lias
more and cheaper literature than the
members of any other profession: a
better opportunity to digest and a: -
similate what he reads: literature
prepared by the state and govern
ment and what it is worth to the
farmer.
C. G. Marshall, who will be one of
the speakers at the institute, discuss
es ‘“Soil Fertility and Proper Tillage.”
In this discussion lie covers the fol
lowing points: The object of tillage:
movement of water in the sol,: how

get water from the soil: amount of
soli moisture necessary for plant
growth; conservation of soil moisture;
thorough cultivation; wind breaks
and mulches; examples taken from
culture tests at the Experiment Sta
tion; examples from practical experi
ence on the farm and In the nursery
and from laboratory experiments;
what constitutes fertility in the soil;
methods of maintaining soil fertility:
proper rotation of crops; allowing the
soil to degenerate a losing proposition.

! Accident Kear Sweetwater.
While on their way home from Ra
venna, last Wednesday evening, a very
| serious accident occurred to Mr. Frank
| Bezdek and a party of relatives and
i friends, by the upsetting of their
wagon on a particularly treacherous
piece of road a short distance east of
the Sweetwater school house.
The re ad at that point has been cut
out of a high bluff, which rises on the
south side of the highway. On the
opposite side there is a deep ditch or
draw. When the road was graded the
surface of the road was left with quite
an incline towards the ditch side of
the road, presumably for drainage
purposes, and on this occasion the
roadway being covered with ice, the
horses slipped and the wagon veered
to the side of the road and toppled
over and the whole rig rolled down
the steep enbankment. a distance of
ten or fifteen feet.
Aside from minor bruises Mr. Bez
dek. the driver, was unhurt, but Mr.
Vtiple had his collar bone broken and
also his shoulder blade, and his arm
was fractured at a point close to the
shoulder joint. Albert Abrams, who
was also an occupant of the w agon had
his right fhoulder dislocated, and the
fourth member of the party, a relative
of Mr. Bezdek's. only recently arrived
in this country from Bohemia, had
his wrist dislocated and both bones
of his arm broken at a point about
four inches above the wrist.
Mr. Bezdek made his way to the
nearest house and secured assistance
to take the injured men to his home,
located eight miles west of Ravenna.
I)r. Penn was telephoned for. reach
ing the Bezdek home about nine
o'clock and he worked for the greater j
part of the night, setting the broken
tones and giving such relief as he
could to the injured men.—Ravehna

The ground hog surely had to crawl
into his hole Monday for another sis

day with wonderful brilliancy for a
few hours. Who believes we will have
sis weeks more of winter?
