Three little girls stood before the
window of the desk sergeant at the

wiped falling tears from soiled faces
with griny fists.
One carried small box containing
the remnants of what was once half
pound box of hard candy, while one of
her companionss held close possession
of a package containing trinkets-a
string of beads, a piece of gilded but
broken earthenware and a red and blue
cord.
The older girl carried, tucked under
a protecting arm, doll, shoeless and
hatless, but uncomplaining.

IDAHO UNIVERSITY TO
CONDUCT TIMBER TESTS
viii Ascertain for What Purposes and
Uses the Timbers of That
State Are Best
Adapted

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The State
University of Idaho, located at Moscow,
has just entered into cooperative
agreement with the United States for
est service to carry on series OF tests
to determine the relative value of the
commercial timbers of the state. All
the tests will be made at the univer-
sity in accordance with the methods
used by the government, and at least
once a year a testing engineer of the
forest service will make careful in
spection and report upon the progress
of the work.
These tests will be of considerable
value in ascertaining for what pur-
poses and uses the timbers of Idaho
are best adapted. Bridge stringers VIII
be tested to determine the fitness of diff
ferent species for the construction of
trestles and bridges; the spike holding
power will also be investigated to de-
termine lust what cpecies can be adj
vantageoisly used for railroad ties and
tests will be made to determine the
relative hardness, which property is
very important in material used for
paving blocks.
The forest service at other labora-
tories in various parts of the country
is making tests on important timbers
from other sections, and by co-operat-
ing with the service the university will
secure results which will furnish an
accurate basis for comparing Idaho
timber with timber from other states.
At this period. when the supply of
different species which practical utili
zation has shown to be well adapted to
the needs of various industries is being
rapidly exhausted, substitutes for the
disappearing species are being eagerly
sought.
The timber tests as carried on by the
government are designed to show how
hard, tough. stiff and strong differ
ent woods are, in this way making it
possible to determine intelligently what
species will best serve as substitutes
for the ones nearing exhaustion.
The results of the Investigations will
be published from time to time and
distributed to the individuals and COR
porations interested in the use of for
est products.

5O-YEAR-0LD DRUG FIRM
FAILS BECAUSE 1T MOVED
Chicago Company Goes Into Voluntary
Bankruptcy--Was Great Resort
for Old Time Newspaper
Men in Windy City
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 4.7-After a career
of half a century in Chicago the drug
firm of Dale & Sempill has gone into
voluntary bankruptcy. Financial diff
culties encountered since moving three
years ago from the corner of Clark and
Madison streets eliminated yesterday
in the appointment of a receiver. who
on March 13 will sell at public auction
the assets of the firm, which is remem-
bered by old timers as one of the first
in the business in the downtown dis
trict.
The liabilities are estimated at about
500 900 and the assets at about $4,000.
When the firm changed it's location to
Madison street and Wabash avenue the
trade did not follow it. This is given
as the main reason for the failure.
The firm occupied the corner of Clark
and Madison streets for twenty-seven
years. For many years the Press club
of Chicago occupied the adjoining
building. and the drug store, being one
of the first to keep open all night, was
a great resort for the old time news
paper men.

ENGINEER
PROTESTS
WRONGS OF SYSTEM SHOWN IN
COMMUNICATION
clTYs RIGHTS ARE IGNORED IN
FAVOR OF CONTRACTORS
Asks Board of Public Works to Detail
Ward Foreman or Inspectors
to Guard Against
Digging

City Engineer Homer Hamlin yester-
day turned over to the board of public
works a communication from Albert N.
Stephens ct al, asking permission to
excavate in Coronado street from Sun
set boulevard to Reservoir street.
'Inasmuch as the work is now COM
pleted, without bond, waiver permit or
fees to cover the cost of the new pro-
file the petition is returned for such
action as may be deemed advisable" /"
the engineer reported yesterday to the
board.
Il would also call attention to the
fact that these petitioners have nearly
finished the grading of Elsinore, Fan
ming and Reservoir streets in the same
tract Gall public streets) without per-
nit, grade, profile or other recognition
of the city's rights. AS in the case of
Coronado street they have simply asked
permission and then gone ahead, re-
gardless. of ordinances and other re-
strictions.
No More Permits
This offers an illustration of the
practical working of the excavation
permit system. This office has not is
sued a permit for many months, but
the work is done nevertheless.
Il beg to cite you another example.
''You instructed this office to prepare
ordinance for the Vrooman act i'm
provement of Glendale avenue, north
of Twenty-second street. A profile was
run, and now it is discovered that be-
cause of an excavation the profile is
useless and another is made necessary
before the improvement can proceed.
This means further expense to the two
property owners who will pay for the
Improvement while some contractor
gets the benefit. A similar case CASH
street, was reported last week.
1T is evident that the whole system
as at present carried on is ineffective
and barren of results, and would sug-
gest that some method of supervision,
possibly through the ward foremen
and other inspectors in the employment
of the street department be devised
where closer watch can be kept over
these matters and this unlawful work
on the public streets stopped"
