STATE BOARD POWERLESS
Claim That It Cannot Interfere il
Carey Act Matters.

Nldlm 4ndC IL OannOC interfere IN
Carey Act Matters.
Judge Richards of Boise stated to
the legislature last week that .tunder
the law, the land board has no power
to stop work on Carey act project,
10 the event such work is being i'm
properly done, even though the board
should so desire and under the law,
the state land boards inspectors have
no authority or power to give in
structions as to how work shall be
DONE"
The members of the joint legisla.
tive investigating committee sat up
in the progress of the hearing of
charges against the Brady adminis
tration land board and gasped as
Judge Richards made the foregoing
declarations.
Judge Richards, 10 regard to the
revelation that Niver, of Trowbridge
& Niver, had appropriated 100000
Of the funds belonging to the Big
Lost river project and had spent the
money on a Colorado scheme. said
fatty that the state land board had
absolutely nothing to do with that.
Ex-Governor Brady intensified the
gravity Of the situation by saying
that not only portion, but even all
of such funds on Carey act project
could be taken from Idaho and spent
elsewhere, or that the bonding house
might even default outright, with
out recourse by the state or settlers
under the project.
On the above grounds it is claimed
the land board was without power to
stop work on the Mackay dam, about
which there has been SO much con
troversy.

Nampa Leader Herald: The
State Horticultural Inspector J.
.. Mcpherson proposes to pro-
tect the fruit-growers of the state
by allowing none but trees with
out any defect to be sold in the
state is evidenced by the fact that
the Inspector is appointing depu-
ties all over the state to inspect
all nursery stocks shipped into
the state before such trees are
allowed to be taken from the
cars. The state Inspector takes
the position that the rigid en-
forcement OF the law providing
Tor this inspection will tend to
give the fruit industry a great
impetus, and will drove helpful
to both the growers OF fruit and
the nursery men as it will protect
both. In the past, it is asserted
that when a fruit grower pur-
chased trees that frequently his
trees proved to be worthless, and
now that the state has assumed
the responsibility of passing upon
their merits before allowing them
to be taken from the car, that
the fruit industry will be extend
ed and that all conditions per-
tanning to fruit growing will be
more satisfactory.
