STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. a.
Registration ~ an end. the under
gradustes Of Stanford University have
been given their FIRST breathing spell
since returning to the campus and have
the opportunity TO size up the athletic
situation. Among the great number of
students who were dropped for scholar
snip defects many athletes were in
cluded. and now the collegians who
have the handling Of the athletic teams
are counting noses and figuring out
where the cardinal will get of in the
coRtest Of the spring semester Losses
have been suffered by every team. The
baseball squad has been deprived Of
several new men of promising caiiber
and one man from the nine Of last year.
IL was expected that the cardinal would

year with an ail-veteran team, but the
faculty has decreed otherwise.
The track team has suffered perhaps
more heavily than any of the others.
The number Of freshmen who were
dropped is greater than before. The
freshman class was expected to be the
winning card in the meeting with the

classmen have taken compulsory va

Besides the men who have been drop

edge that they have been let back with
the understanding that they shall pay

Present Judges viii Get No Higher Pay
Supreme Court Says Old $4,000 Salary Stands During Term
of Officers Already Elected.

The supreme court has rendered a
decision in what is known as the dis
trict judges increase in salary case.
The opinion is written by Justice Stew
art. Justice Sullivan concurs, but Chief
Justice Ailshie did not sit at the hear
ing or participate in the opinion.
The case is entitled NJ. W. Woods,
E. c. Steele, Fremont Wood, E. A.
Walters, Alfred Bulge, J. NJ. Stevens
and E. L. Bryan vs.. Robert S. Bragaw,
as state auditor The plaintiffs are
the judges of the several district courts
of Idaho. The proceeding was original
in the disrtict court and was launched
in the form of an application for a writ
of mandate to compel the state auditor
to draw warrants in plaintiffs favor
for the quarter ending June 80, 1907, in
payment of salary at the rate of $4,000
per year from and after May 8, 1907,
the salaries of the judges having been
raised at the last session of the legis-
lature. The state auditor demurred to
the complaint, and the supreme court
sustains the demurrer.
The only question necessary for the
supreme court to decide was whether

MUST ATTEND SCHOOL
Authorities Will Combat the Stay.
0ut.At.Night Habit.

The large number of boys who have
been neglecting their school work to
run around town at night. is likely TO
bring about a change in the application
of the laws to govern such cases. It is
proposed to make the curfew ordinance
applicable 70 boys and girls up to Is
years of age, and to enforce it rigidly.
A strict insistence on school attend
ance, with the necessary punishment,
even up to commitment TO the reform
school for those who viii not study, and
a night man on the police force TO en-
force the curfew ordinance, are some
of the means proposed to bring about a
reform in educational matters.
There is nothing in the laws to pre-
vent parents keeping closer watch Of
their children at night or in their school
work. and applying the corrective strap
with viii where necessary. Indeed,
the law can punish severely the care
less parents, by fine and Imprisonment.

form school Decisive measures are 10
be taken to change the present condi-
tions in Shoshone. which are recognized
to be bad.

MORE GRADING MACHINERY.
Large Quantities Of Grading Ma
chinery Continue to Arrive.

Five more cars of grading machinery
for the Grant construction company
arrived in Shoshone. Thursday. and are
being unloaded ready to be taken on
down to the grading camps on the Twin
Falls North Side ditch.
Machinery and supplies literally by
the train load are being brought in for
this great work. The company has
contracted to finish the main canals
through the tract by October of next
year: a herculean task. but one that
would seem easily possible. by the
amount of stuff being brought in to do
the work. 1t will require an army of
men. but these can fortunately be had
without trouble 1t is somewhat
doubtful blessin&-but still the financial
panic will bring Lincoln county some
palliation in solving what had been a
hard problem, that of getting enough
men to do the work. Now that big

FORGER GOT AWAY.
Wrote a Check, Got the Money and
Lit Out for 0bScurity.

W D. Garlock had a nervy visitor
the day of the Gooding opening. who
did not stay to reap the reward for his
adventures into the land of gall and
birthstone.
A man who stopped several times in
front of the Garlock office, finally came
in and asked Mrs. Garlock for the priv
ilege of writing letter at the desk.
This was was given him He said he
wanted to rent house, but on being
told by Mrs. GarloclI that they knew
of none for rent. he wanted to write to
his wife of the lamentabIe condition.
Finally he finished the letter and ex-
cused himself. Soon afterwards check
came up from May & Nicely's saloon
for 81, bearing what pugported to be
Mr. Garlock's 5 signature. 1t had been
presented to the bank and not honored.
The nearest that any one can get to
the solution is that when he started to
write al the desk the man had seen the
check book looking like easy money
right before him and that he filled out
. check to be cashed Then he got
aboard the passenger going east. which
was due in d few minutes, after nego-
tiating the check, and he hasn't come
back.

AUDITORS AT BOISE.
Three Hard Days Work to Agree on
Uniform System OF Records.

Harry Anderson, county auditor, who
returned the last of the week from the
three days meeting of the auditors at
Boise, says that it was the busiest ses-
sion he ever saw for any kind Of bust
hess. The three days were all too short
for the business to be transacted, though
every auitor was present at every meet
ing and took an interested part in the
deliberations.
Much was done toward securing a
uniform system of records and book
Keeping in the various counties. Here
tofore there has been no regularity in
methods, each county having largely
its own system for doing the work 1t
was the object to adopt an entirely uni
form series of records and this was
done up to the limits of the time of the
meeting. Valuable suggestions came
from almost every county. Lincoln
county furnishing the form for the
auditors certificates, one of the impor-
tant forms under discussion.

the judges in Office at the time the act
became law The opinion is quite
lengthy, but the syllabus by the court,
as follows. gives the full sense. Of it:
ARTICLE ), section q of the consti-
tuition declares that the legislature
may, by law, diminish or increase the
compensation of any or all the follow
ing officers, to-wit: Governor, heuten-
ant governor, secretary of state, audit
or, state treasurer, attorney general,
superintendent of public instruction,
commissioner Of immigration and la
Dor, justices of the supreme court, and
judges of the district courts. and dis
trict attorneys. but no diminution or
increase shall affect the compensation
of the officer then in office during his
term, etc. Held, that the meaning of
said section is plain and does not call
for technical construction.
''The act of the legislature approved
March IA, 1907, increasing the salary of
the Judges of the district court from
$4,000 per annum, fixed by the constitu-
ton, to $4,000 per annum, fixed by said
act. Held, that said section does not
apply to the officer then in Office during
his term.

Taxes Coming In In Considerable Sums
Lincoln County Taxpayers Ahead of the Game and Ready
Pay Long Before Required By Law to Do So.

County assessor and tax collector J.
W. Wheeler reports that considerable
money is coming in for the payment of
taxes. There seems TO be very general
ability and disposition to pay as would
be inferred from the fact that so many
pay up weeks before required to do so.
Lincoln county has an enXiable repu-
tation for clearing up her taxes. Last
year there was a delinquency of only
about one per cent; this is understood
to be about the average for other years
also. Some of the counties of the state
fall down in their tax collections, from
, te 6 per cent. Mr. Wheeler believes
the percentage Of delinquency win be

THE BECKETT TWINS.
Striking Proof of Lincoln COunty'S
ROOseyeItian Tendencies.

Lincoln county has boasted with a
loud and convincing boast that there is
no more productive spot on earth than
this same section of the map of Idaho
All kinds of grains, lucious fruits,
everything that is good, can be and is
grown here. All that is necessary is
to give them chance. And this ap-
plies to the higher forms as well-even
to the dainty little babes that gladen
every household where they come.
AS coroboration of this boast, the
second pair of twins was born Saturday,
November %, into the family of the
Stockgrowers Mercantile company of
Shoshone. The first was to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Archie Bowler, last
spring, and the little ones have become
the pride of the town. This time it is
Tom Gooding who is both grandfather
and grandmother at once, for twins
were born Saturday to Mr. and Mrs.
]. L. Beckett, Mrs. Beckett being the
daughter of Mr.. Gooding. Mr. Beckett
is manager of the store. There is one
girl and one boy, and the parents are
just twice as proud of the little ones
as ordinary parents would be of their
one little infant.
A premium has been put on clerical
positions in the Stockgrowers store,
which premium promises to run into
large figures if the demand continues.

bold and defiant Dan Cupid in his search
for affinities. Four marriage licenses

Fire Service As Good As
Any In Idaho.
Village Board Invests In Number
of Property Safeguards---Fire
Alarm System, Chemical
Engine, Fire House.

AS will be seen by reading the officia
minutes of the village board, Shoshone
is to have a lot of municipal improve
ments within the next few days, OF
weeks, that are not always found in
larger towns.
After spending large sum on the
village streets this summer and getting
some of the inspiration for doing and
having better things, the board has
consulted its finances carefully and
found that the village can afford some
other things that are necessities rather
than luxuries, when looked on in the
light of business judgment. One of
these is a fine chemical fire engine,
which has been ordered and will soon
be here Another is a stone building
to keep the fire apparatus in, a building
fire proof and weather proof, so that
the chemicals and apparatus will not
freeze and become unusable; and big
fire bell and alarm system to give notice
of the fire when such may come.
Work was begun at once on the build
ing The village bought lot from c.
w. Wernicke, in the rear of his resi-
dence and store, and the stone is now
being put in place. Mr.. Wernicke has
ia lot more courage and civic pride than
lots of others, for he sold to the village
a lot that would have brought him three
times the price if sold to private parties,
and he did not have to sell at all; to
hold it would have brought still greater
increase. 1t takes courage and gener-
osity of rare sort TO give to the public
that kind of bargain-for it is a gift
and nothing else If there are any
others who think it is easy, they have
a fine chance to make as nice a dona-
tion to the people.
The fire bell is to be mounted on a
tower at the rear of the building 1t
will weigh 800 pounds and can be heard
all over town. 1t will be rung by an
electric alarm system, operated from
the central telephone station. The tele-
phone operator, upon being notified Of
fire. will ascertain its location by
districts the town will be divided into
four or five districts-and by turning
on the appropriate switch the bell will
be rung and an indicator in the fire
fhouse will show the district This indi
Gator will tell the firemen where to go
to the fire, so there need be no aimless /
searching for the place.
The chemical engine is one of the
best made, though of course not of so /
large capacity as some of those used in
the cities. The same make is in use in
tnany western towns and everywhere /
giving the best satisfaction. 1t was
purchased in Spokane. A company is
to be organized and drilled in the use of .
the new machine. 1t is planned to
keep the engine and one of the hose
carts at the main station, which will
have frontage wide enough to take
in both machines side by side. A hook
and ladder truck is to be added as soon
as it can reasonably be done.

no larger this year than other years.
There is one section of the county
where the taxes are going 10 hit the
people hard. This is at Rupert. The
state board raised their real estate 2S
per cent, their merchandise 10 per cent,
and they have a special village tax of
$500 and q special school tax of Sl.0O
per 500 of valuation This brings their
total taxation up to pretty high figures.
AS they spend the special tax them
selves, however. and get their share of
the other. they are happy.
The tax collector anticipates no short
age of real money to pay the taxes as
of other years.

Construction Companies
Revise Schedule.
Only a Small Cut, When Financial
Conditions Might Warrant Big
0ne---ldahO a Favored
State, Financially.

Lower wage scales are TO go into
effect on the big construction works
being carried on here in Lincoln county,
where they have not already been put
into effect. The Grant construction
company has already started the lower
wage schedule, and it will be done on
the Slick works the first of December,
which will be Monday High wages
have been paid here the past year-so
high that only the prospect of immedi-
ate realization by the irrigation COM
panies could warrant the mourning of
so large an expense. Now that the
panicky condition has struck the rail
roads. stopping all the construction
work all over the country, and has all
but sealed up the source of the capital
that has been coming to Idaho from the
east, it is all kinds Of luck that the
companies are able to continue work at
all. even though they should cut the
wages in half-which, however, theydo
not nearly do,
With the carrying on to completion
Of the two great reclamation projects
here in Lincoln county, this section
will have maintained such a financial
credit as perhaps no other section of
the west has done through the crisis.
All Idaho for that matter, promises
to come through the panic with added
lustre, No special session, no bank
failures, no cessation in the work of
internal improvements, a continued in
fux of new people who believe in the
stability Of the state, there isn't a
thing wrong with Idaho in the eyes Of
the world. Other states have had ser
ious arrangements because of the panic,
and practically every big construction
company outside of Idaho has been shut
down People want 10 come to a pros
porous state to live or TO invest their
money. While the state has necessar-
lily been inconvenienced by the temper

Idaho promises to recover far quicker
than any Of the other western states,

to conjure with for the next few years.
