Idaho and . number of bank officials

misapp ppriatiop OF funds. or for
methods bordering on what is termed
"high finance Y ~
These circumstances have given
rise to wild. stories Of how the funds
were carried Of or squande.ed, and
a multitude Of ridiculous and improb-
able things made up by people who
know better, and. told to others who
believe. all they hear IL it is ON the
side of dishonor or pointing to dis
honesty or treachery.
Some of these improbable things
have found their way into newspapers
and the most damaging reports sent
broadcast, evidently inspired by
TT sted servants of the state who talk
too much and thereby do as much
damage to business as those others
entrusted with funds who speculate
too much.
Banking business opens up an easy
road to speculation, and 1t is the bus
mess of bank examiners to discover
weaknesses in banks and overcome
them or close such banks. It appears
now that this plan or purpose has
misearried in at 1east one or two
cases. and the public have not receiy-

BACK FROM HALEY

A numbr of men from Lost river,
who had been attending court at Hal
ley, returned home Thursday. One
of the things of interest was the &C.
quittal of Silas Justison, charged with
stealing sheep a couple of years ago.
A man named Graham, who was con-
nected with the alleged stealing, was
convicted, served his time and return I'm
ed as witness in the case when his
partner was acquitted. Some OF the
witnesses live within so or rs miles
Of HALEY and went 800 miles around,
and it is said to have cost Blaine
county about $4,000 to take care of
the case.

ed the protection they should have
had.
Now come the muck-rakers, and
-basing their talk on wrongs that are
actual, they infame the public mind
with falsehoods until people fear that
nobody is to be trusted, and they
hoard what money they have in tin
boxes, water pitchers and socks, and
make times harder by keeping con-
siderable volume OF money out of cir
cuiation. This in turn makes interest
higher and burglaries in the homes
more frequent because of the greater
reward.
In our own town and the neighbor-
ing town Of Shelley, men are under
the ban and are required to report
at the converting of the district court
to have their transactions Investigated
by court and Jury TO determine whe-
Their certain acts Of bookkeeping were
right or criminal. Wild stories have
been circulated, tending to disqualify
men from serving on jury. and the
extremity to which these muck-rakers
have gone should disgust every rea-

Another one of the we'll known
pioneers of Bear Lake county has
passed away I'm the person of Walter
Hoge, who died at his home in Paris
at 2 o'clock this morning, after an
illness Of ten days, with pneumonia
and pleuresy.
Mr.. Hoge was SO year of age. He
was among the first settlers in this
valley and had always been an active
worker in commercial, political and
church circles.
His fatal illness came upon him
week ago last Wednesday, while he
was serving as clerk in the district
court for Auditor Broomhead. While
he seemed to realize that the end
was near at hand, he fought bravely
against death, but the disease had
secured such a strong hold, on him
that the Death Angel conquered in
the struggles. ~" = ~ - 80. ~ w.
Most of the members Of his family
were at HIS bedside when the end
came.
The funeral services will be held at
the Second Ward meeting house in
Paris next Monday morning at II

OUR POULTRY ASSOCIATION

/. The Poultry association now begin
ming its work for the annual poultry
show is not money-making venture,
but rather is working for the general
advancement of the community by
advancing the poultry interests. And
advancing" as used here does not
mean. raise in prices, but an inn
provement in quality and quantity
first, and advanced prices afterwards.
II in the natural operation Of supply,
and demand they beget such adjust
mept, and this is the logical result
tn breeding up any kind Of product.
I II 10 important that the community
at large should give the poultry as
sociaiton generous support because
they bring benefits to the whole COM
munity. The result of their agitation
and demonstration is to make poultry
raising easier by making it better
understood. Getting more people to
raising poultry and more people to
using poultry products. To estab-
lish more dependable markets and
more dependable supplies for con-
sumers. Supply home consumption
with home production instead of sup
plying part of it with importations at
higher prices. Getting home produc-
ton to such a stage that products
can be shipped to other places at a
profit to our home people, thus put
ting more money into circulation
here. 4s,s
People from distant places, and
especially central Idaho, look in this
direction for much Of their supplies
of eggs and poultry for consumption
and for breeding purposes. We would
all prefer seeing more poultry sraisers,
supplying eggs to people on Lost RI
YER and Salmon river and Pahsemari
with eggs for Matching at ten cents
each than at 80 cents dozen, and
the work of the Poultry association
brings just such results, with similar
multiplying of values in the sale OF
fowls for breeding purposes.
The Poultry show should be made
the occasion for getting many visitors
to come to town, not only from adj
jacent farms but from distant places
1t should be made a Homecoming
event when people could combine
pleasure with business and education,
and through them spread the gospel
of better poultry in their own COM
munities after they 60 home, and get
the benefits of their orders for eggs
and fowls as they become interested.
An example of the advantage of
having visitors here for the poultry
show is indicated by the case of DR..
J. G. Leonard, travelling dentist who
was here last year, and was induced
to 60 in and see the fowls. He was
delighted with everything he saw, and
has been talking ever since about the
wealth of high grade poultry in the
Blackfoot country, and advising any
body who wants to get started in |
pure breeds of any kind to send to
Blackfoot.
People in general should join the
association and contribute their dol
lar to aid in the good work. Citizens
should do what they can to have Wis
itors come at that time, and all
should visit the show for the pleasure
and benefits it will give, and to help
make the show a financial success.

Artemesia Club

The meeting of the Artemesia
Club at the school house Wednes-
day was of unusual interest and
several good resolutions were pas
sed.
This club has done some very
excellent work since its organiza-
ton, in and around the school
grounds and has just contributed
500 toward equipment for the
High school Gymnasium and are
now discussing the subject of a
public play ground with a super
visor.
Other subjects discussed were
Specialization Of the School, "
Sanitary condition of streets, bacl
alleys and back yards. In order
to solve the Back Yard problem
and help sanitary conditions to a
great extent, resolution was
passed, offering prizes of 5, 3 and
z dollars respectively as prizes
for the best garden of vegetables
or flowers to children under Is
years of age. This it is thought
will utilize a portion of the back
yards to some extent and assist
IN no small degree toward MAX
ing sanitary conditions more sat
isfactory.
The first prize will be donated
by the Artemesia club and the
other two by the school board.
A committee on rules and regula-
tons will bs appointed and judges
will be selected later. 1t is ho-
ped that the priz together with
what money might be made in
selling the products of these gar
ders will prove a sufficient in
centive to induce large num-
Der of children to enter the CON
test.
Discus ion of Senate Bill No. 7
was continued and as Mrs. Green
and other club members of the
state had succeeded in securing
notifications of the same from
the author, it was decided to ac-
cede to it as modified although
as yet far from satisfactory.

"SIGNING UP" IN
GOOD SHAPE
Attorneys For Company Will Ap-
ply to Court For Title to
> System.

The directors of the Elmore
irrigation Company met last Tues
day and transacted business rela-
ting to receivers certificates and
other matters.
Those who hold receivers certi-
flcates, OF whom there is large
number, We're called on and asked
to place them in escrow at the
StockgroWers State Bank until
a settlement is effected and right
of title to the system acquired, to
which all agreed.
The attorney for the company
will at the present session Of the
court bring the matter up for a
decision, and it is generally con
eeded that the requirement of the
title will cause no trouble.
The signing up Of parties to
agreements issued by the compa-
ny is going on very satisfactorily
at the present time, but still a
number have not done so. The
reason why anyone should hesi-
tate to sign up is hard to see.
The conditions offered are so fa-
vorable for all that a proposition
to get something for their old
water rights and practically be
paid back the full amount paid
for such rights will never happen
again.
Any private concern who should
ever get hold of the water sys-
tenn here will never recognize any
value for them. 1t is positively
the only chance the land holders
around Mountain Home have or
ever will have to raise the value
OF their property for an outlay
OF money that covers only the
actual expense for completing the
system.
In the old districts in Boise val
ley where water is considered suf-
ficient for good irrigation, most
OF them need more water for the
third crop. Asking what price the
government would allow them for
their old water right if they bot
water rights after the reservoir
system is completed on the Boise
river. They were informed that
the government would allow them
80 per acre, and as the price for
water after the new system is
completed, is estimated to be not
less than 500 per acre, the land
that at present sells for 1926 per
acre in the valley, will be loaded
with $50 more per acre if they
want sufficient water. That is
if the districts vote for getting
under the new system.

Last weeks issue of the Repub-

Grand View which told how A. O
Oberlin had been held up and
beaten by Otto Schroeder and
Scott Brown Of Mountain Home.
Mr.. Schroeder informs us that
the account is false as he did not
attack Mr.. Oberlin with intent to
rob. He says that for some time
past there has been bad feeling
between the two men and when
they met near Grand View on

ted, whereupon Oberlin picked up
fence board and made a pass
at Schroeder. The outcome was
a defeat for Oberlin.

September after the primary e.
lection.
A joint resolution was passed
in the Senate for an amendment
Of the state constitution relating
to the number Of senators and
Representatives. The resolution
favors one senator from each
county, the new ones as well as
the old ones. The constitution,
as it now reads, allows only "a
senators, and when new counties
are organized, they will have no
chance to elect senators. The
number of representatives shall
not exceed three to each senator.
The senate has passed the bill
appropriating $4,000 to buy 1000
acres from the government, in
Kootenai county for a public
park. The name Hepburn for the
park, created considerable oppos-
ition and will probably not be
the name given to it. The meas
ure has passed the house and is
now in the hands of the Govern
or.
Senator A. G.. Kerns of Sho-
shone county, has introduced a
bill that aims to crush out the
infamous traffic called white sla-
very in the state of Idaho. There
is no doubt that the bill will pass,
for it is a disgrace to any state
not to have laws preventing or
dealing out the most severe pun
ishment for such crime.
