Instantly upon applying few drops

the itch is allayed. There is no need

A NEW PEST TO LOOK OUT FOR

chief interest the Idaho State horti
cultural department has this year, il

concerning the activities Of his de-

be dreaded than those of the San
Jose scale. which the growers have
been fighting for the last 10 years in

Inspector Fields at once began

rotified all nurserymen not to open
their shipments but to hold them for
his arrival, and he spent, two months
n q personal examination of Seeding
stock, going over personally between
100000 and 100000 seedlings. He
discovered from three to five colonies
OF the dreaded moth in each shipment
and these were destroyed.
Inspector Fields will go over the
nursery stocks again this fall to see
whether or not any of the pests, es-
capped his observation, and the pur-
pose of his present visit north is to
look after nurseries incidentally, and
prepare for the fall inspection.
There are only one or two states In

SALOON REFORM PROPOSALS
Daily Statesman.

The Boise business men who have
organized for the purpose of fightint
prohibition at the forthcoming loca
option election are considering some
resolutions looking to a more stric1
regulation of the saloon business in
this city. These were presented alta
meeting held Monday night and will
be acted upon after being fully di.
gested. The organization takes the
| view that under the Boise charter
there is ample authority not only to
compel drastic control Of the saloons
but to wip them out by refusing to
issue licenses.
1t is quite evident the body does
not believe it advisable to place this
county and city upon prohibition
basis; but it apparently prefers pro-
hibition to the saloons as at present
constituted, or at least it. prefers a
drouth to the manner in which some
of them are conducted.
1t is questionable, though, if the
remedy suggested in the resolutions
presented at Monday nights meeting
would prove effective.
In brief it is proposed that all
screens and curtains be removed
from saloons, SO as to permit an un-
INSTRUCTED view from the street, and
that all booths and private rooms in
restaurants and saloons be taken out.
Moreover, it is proposed that all card
tables, pool and billiard tables and
chairs, excepting those for the per-
sonal use of the proprietor and his
assistants, be removed from saloons.
The idea of making these resorts ais
open to the public view as possible is
a good one; but it is not believed that
the removal of tables will accomplish
any good.
If the question is to be reduced,
even measurably, to one of saloon
furniture it were great deal better
to remove the bars than the tables.
The bars induce excessive drink
ing, while the tables, which give the
saloons club aspect, tend more to
moderation.
1t is the experience of other coun-
tries, where tables are used instead
of bars, that there is less drinking to
excess.
Any attempt at reform of the sa-
loon business would be more apt to
meet with success by first bringing
the institutions out into the lime
light, and, second, by surrounding
them with conditions that will induce
and discourage overin-
Where men have access to tables

to exhibit their skill, there is

HURTING BUSINESS

ness" age. A man can not depar,
the least iota from the lines of de
caying conservation without some fell
low jumping up and springing the
"hurt your business" remark upon
him. If he make or attempts to make
some people clean up they send the
warning that it will ''hurt his bust
ness" If the street commissioners
spoons out an ounce too much dirt
somewhere he is told it will lose him
his job. If the city marshal runs in
a drunk he is cautioned about doing
things that deprive him of his posi-
ton. If the county attorney attempts
to enforce some law he is informed
to look OUT If merchant opens
his mouth to observe that 1t is a fine
day some grouchy cuss tells him to
be careful or he'll hurt his business
with too much talk. If a mail car
rier kicks because a culvert is in poor
condition he is liable to be reported
to Washington for malfeasance in
office. If doctor suggests that some
grading is needed on the roads he
is given bunch to look out or some
other physician will get his practice.
The legislative representative is dam

turn around at s.ext election and
