Weeping Among
Idaho Willows
Horticultural Inspector Says They
are Infected with Scale.

There promises to be weeping
among the willows of southern
Idaho in the coming days. These
pioneers of vegetation, who have
been creeping along the streams
OF the state from time immemor-
ial, are marked for slaughter.
They are harboring San Jose
scale and for that reason have
been marked for slaughter.
State Horticultural Inspector
]. Z. Mcpherson returned to his
office yesterday after a hurried
trip into some of the localities
reported to be infested with the
pest. He found the willows along
the Snake, the Boise, the Payettt
and Weiser rivers, fairly reekine
with San Jose scale in many 10
calities. He came back to his Of

wage relentless war on this trel
pest, even il 1t became necessary
| to destroy eyefy willow in th,
state to accomplish his purpose
"What is the use," he said, "ir
forcing the orchafdists to spraj
their trees for the coddling motI
and San Jose scale if these pests
are permitted to multiply In
countless numbers ON the willows
and spread from there to all ad
Ijcining trees?
"No, | propose to obliterat,

Railroad Men
Visit Parma
Short Line Officials Here on "Cet
Acquainted" Trip.

Last Friday a number of Short
Line officials visited Parma on
a "get acquainted" mission. The
party was in a special train, and
consisted of +. G.. Manson, gen.
eral superintendent; c. j. Nc
Nitt, auditor; Carl Stradley,
chief engineer; Ell. Plaisted, as
sistant general freight agent; D.
S. Spencer, assistant general pas.

tant general attorney; A. w.

OF dining cars and hotels; w. R.
Armstrong, superintendent OF
the Montana division; John Nc
Laughlin, division engineer on the
Montana division; J. L. Prizes t,

In addition to the Short Line
officials, j. A. Foley, CONNER
cial agent OF the Illinois Central

ty.
The GUESTS were taken by the
Commercial club for two and
a half hour sightseeing trip over
the Parma-Roswell Section, after
which they we're entertained at
luncheon by the ladies of the
Amphictyonic Council at the Ma
sonic hall. The arrangements
were perfect, and we're carried out
without a hitch. At the lunch
con ndffiber of short talks were
made by Parma people, and re-
Isponses by the visiting officials.
| The visiting party was CON-
posed of as Jolly a bunch of boys
as ever came to Parma, and a
most enjoyable time was had.
But So far as the Herald has
been able to ascertain; the mater.
ial advantages that will accrue
from the visit are Id the dim dis
tant futhfe; the iaf-off ness OF
which n6 man kn6weth. They
promised to place tile drain ditch
on the railroad fight-of-way un-
dergrotnd if Parma Would pay
for the neeessafy tiling and do
the work; ali OF which we
we're promised years ago. They
promised to park the ground

was also made Years ago. They
promised to give Us a new depot
as soon as they take care of Po-
catello and a lew other places
THAT look shabbier than we do,
all of which has been promised
flor years The one thing
(which they did promise that
has not heretofore beeI from.

Statesman's
Huge Perfidy
Adopting the Methods Of SIum POI.
itics Of old Boss Tweed.

In its issue of May 9th the
Boise Statesman heads an arti-
Gle, "Selling Farms Rather
Than Pay Taxes" and uses the
following perfidious interview
from MIR. H. L. Kultrap OF Spo.
kane;
There is a good deal of feeling
in the north against the atti-
tude which Governor Hawley has
taken in regard to the tax ques-
tion, and the assessors are hay
ing their hands full. The time is
the worst for the farmer to
have to pay out more money Tor
taxes than he has in the past,
and there is a protest on every
hand againstit.
UNABLE To MEET TAXES
GAS a result of the attitude OF
the governor, many OF the farms
are for sale in the north, the own
ers being unable to meet the tax
es which are assessed against
them"
The Statesman ought to have
decency enough not to publish
such rot as that, even ii IL is
fighting Governor Hawley. The
Statesman is pandering to idiocy
! in publishing the interview; and
Kultrap, whoever he may be, is
publishing himself as an unrniti-
} gated liar, simply from the fact
: that no taxes have been assessed
against the farmers of north ldai
hO ih this year OF grace, 1911i
nor against anybody else; and
taxes due and unpaid on any
Idaho property are the heritag6
OF d republican administration,
and not particularly chargeabIe
, to Governor Hawley, SO lar az
bhf knbwledge goes. At least,
we have never heard him accused
OF running the Brady band wag'
b OH.
1t will be some months yet bs'
fore the percentage of assess
meht will be obtained, and No
/, one can now form any intelligent
opinion as to what that pertent'
, age will be. The property of the
Herald publisher has been in
creased for purposes OF assess
ment to four times the value
placed upon it last yearj set we
have no reason whatever to be
liese that the taxes viii amount
. to as much. In the meantime
the Statesman should be care
/ ful about exploiting Kultrapisml
! as some of its readers are not
, candidates for the new home at
NaffpH.

ditioned that no loan made by the town

Mr.. Stafford believed it was the proper
thing to foster and build up the local
company and said if we did not make
provision for the company it would go
elsewhere. Col. Haskins said that under
the law Of the United States the militia
companies We're auxiliary to the regular
army and might be called upon at any
time ana that if a call came the men
ought to be in condition for service, which
they could not be with their present ia
cilities. Mr.. Calvin favored the resou-
tion ana mentioned the fact that the
state had appropriated $4,000 for the
Austine institution. lie said the town
ought to reciprocate by helping in the
matter of increasing the efficiency Of the
regiment Not a voice was raised
against the resolution ana apparently
everybody voted in favor of it,
y last stand in favor of $500 salary
was then made by Tree Warden Bishop
who moved that his former motion be
taken from the table but he was voted
down. Col Haskins moved that when
the meeting adjourned adjournment be
taken to the meeting in West Brattleboro
in May and it was ordered.

tary people of the state had discussed the
matter many years and now that the
government was paying so large a pro-
portion of the expense of maintaining
the state militia it had become possible
to carry out the idea without burdening
the state treasury. lie told of the poor
facilities the Brattleboro company now
has and said he believed his personal
influence would count something in in
ducing the armory board to decide to
assist Rrattleboro first Col. Estey pre-
scented the following resolution;
"Resolved % That the sum of ten
thousand dollars is hereby appropriated
for contribution toward the cost of an
armory to be purchased and constructed
I'm Brattleboro for the use and occupancy
of companies and band of the First Regi-
ment Infantry Vermont National Guard.
"(2) That the treasurer of the town is
hereby authorized, empowered and direct
ed to borrow on the credit of the town
the sum appropriated by this resolution
and to pay over the same for the pur-
poses of this resolution, when the board
of armory commissioners established
under Act No. 172 of the Acts of 1910,
shall have located such an armory In
