state Board Turns Down Clearwater
Scheme.

STATE Board Turns Down Clearwater
sshsms.
At the meeting the state land board
at Boise, after receiving the report
Of State Engineer Wayne Darlington
upon the subject, adopted resolu-
tion denying the application Of the
Idaho River Improvement company
for permission to construct booms
and holding works on the Clearwater
river The application was filed
some months ago by Francis Jenkins.
b. f. O'NeiI, G.. q. Pickett, H. Smith
Wooley and others.
After detailing the results Of his
inspection Of the stream and the
locations for the proposed works,
which was very thorough, the state
engineer concludes bis report rs
follows:
The proposed improvement would
be Of no benefit to the rafting Of logs,
but would be Of limited advantage in
driving single timbers a. 1t would
keep them from lodging on the bars
so protected, and would not extend
the season Of driving beyond the time
when driving 10 possible without the
improvement. The sorting works
would cause unnecessary expense and
delay to RATS destined for points on
the main river beyond, for which the
owners would receive no cOmpensat-
ing advantage.
In comparing the estimated cost Of
these proposed improvements, s35, =
900, which Is a liberal figure, with
the enormous volume Of timber which
can only Ind Its way to market
through the waterway, II appears that
the franchise would yield q revenue
for which no compromising cost Ia
involved nor compensatiDg benefits
obtained by the individual citizen OF
the state at large.

Of the state feel that the five northern
counties should have a representative
on many executive boards formed by
the state officers. For instance the
lands owned by the state in the north
are the most valuable portion Of its
undeveloped wealth. These lands are
being handled by a board no member
Of which has more than a carwindow
acquaintance with the country, its
resources or the possibilities Of its
development. The same thing Is
true of the state equalization board,
composed Of men, all without know
ledge Of land values In an unirrigated
country, and who place q greater
value for taxing purposes upon the
farm lands Of Latah county than they
do on lands under irrigation works
in the southern counties.
When 1 have decided on my posi-
ton, il conclude to become a can
didate for attorney general l shall
announce that fact. ="

BIG CROP OF CANDIDATES
THEY WANT GOOD STATE JOBS
Northern Idaho Republicans Believe In
Asking for What They WAnt-NOt
Satisfied with senator And Congress
man.

A news report from Lewiston says
that friends of George E. Knepper,
formerly president Of the Lewiston
Normal school, have stated that be
will be a candidate for state superin-
tsndent of schools before the demo
cratic state convention. This con-
Vention the democrats hope will be
held in Lewiston. Mr.. Knepper, who
IL nov . resident Of the Moscow
section, was at the head Of the normal
school for several years end has a
strong following among the people OF
the county. He is prominent among
the Aasons.
The candidacy Of County Treasurer
Hastings for the republican nomiDa-
ton for state treasurer. first men
toned in the Spokesman Review a
month ago has met with considerable
favor in the southern portion Of the
state outside Of Boise. Politicians
from the southern portion of the
state. who have been in tbs city
recently, state that there is feeling
Of general dissatisfaction whenever
the treasurer is a resident Of Boise,
while the politicians of that city
make especial efforts to secure the
nomination for someone there. The
amount Of the practically irreducible
state funds, of which the treasurer
il custodian, has in the past been in
the vicinity Of 81, 900, 900. and the
banking institutions Of Boise are
anxious that as little Of this money
as possible shall escape them.
Papers at the state capital having
announced that Prosecuting Attorney
Miles s. johnson of Nez Perez county
was being talked Of as the republican
candidate for attorney general, Mr.
johnson was asked for a statement
and said This Is a matter 70
which have given little thought
Heretofore, although 1 have received
a number Of letters from parties in
south Idaho suggesting my candidacy,
have not considered them seriously.
lcan see many reasons outside Of any
ambition why the attorney general
should come from the northern por-
tion of the state. As the state ad
ministration Is at present constituted
there Is not q man from the five
counties Of north Idaho in the state
offices
