Pretty MAY Day Exercises

There are few prettier scenes
than the annual May Day exercises
of the Emmett schools, and those
which were held Monday on the
school grounds were no exception.
The program consisted of a par
lde of all the pupils, patriotic songs
the raising OF the Stars and
Stripes and a hearty salute. Then
from the rear of the building ap-
peared a procession OF little tots
wheeling decorated doll buggfes and
other toy vehicles and led by the
May queen, Margaret Exum, with
shielding her from the
1un by a decorated parasol and
holding her long train. She was
seated upon her thrCre and with
all pomp and ceremony crowned
Queen Of the May Then there
were graceful dances by the First
and Second grade pupils to the
sweet music of an orchestra com
posed of Misses Catharine Davis
and Opal Crouch, Everett and
Bernard Knipe and Freddie Mon
roe. The closing number was the
May pole dance.

LIVELY RAILROAD WAR
IN IDAHO
Interesting Situation Devel-
oping Idaho Northern
and P. & |. N.

The following special from Tha
Oregonian reveals an interesting ST
uation in the railroad war now
being waged in the Gem state:
The rivalry between the Hartman
and Hill interests has developed
an interesting railroad situat on
in western Idaho, causing the
construction of two costly ex-
tensions in the building Of the Ida
no Northern, the Hartman line
from Emmett to the Payette Lakes,
and the rushing of the Pacific &
Idaho Northern, the Hill road,
north into the central part of the
state with the idea oH' making it
the north and south road of Ida
no. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars are being spent in con-
struction work alone.
The fact that the two roads are
parallel and both building in the
same direction is taken to indicate
here that the owners who represent
the two great railroad systems of
the west have deeper plans than ap-
pear on the surface.
The Idaho Northern is what is
known as the Dewey road. 1t was
sold recently to the Oregon Short
Line of the Hartman system. The
fact has just come to light that
the price paid or this road by
the Short Line was 100000, an
excellent price in view of the fact
that it was only built north from
Nampa as far as Emmett and south
as far as Murphy, the entire dis
tance being less than 100 miles. A
year ago, when the deal was closed
and the Hartman system came into
control, contracts we're let for the
extension of the road north a dis
tance of 100 miles to the Payette
lakes. Since then the Utah Con-
struction company, which handled
the contract and suboontrected with
other firms, has had nearly 1000
men at work ON the extension.

The estimated expense of con-
ducting the business Canyon
county during the year 1928 is
sS0,526, or approximately $3.50
per capita.
One of the features Of the new
revenue law requires that the
county commissioners have each
of the county officers file an es-
innate of the probable expense for
their respective offices for the year.
1t also warns them that no def
ency warrants will be allowed. The
Canyon county commissioners have
been working on this matter for
several days and concluded their
work Friday. The following are
the amounts which We're granted
the several offices:
In considering the amounts al
lowed it must be borne in mind tha
the sums allowed cover everything
as for example, the sheriifs office
mas s1S,000.This includes all court
expenses, together with the keep
ing 0. prisoners and slmmoning
witnesses. The assessors budget
calls for s994O. From this "a
mount s44OO is taken, being fees
collected by him. The probate
judge calls for s249O. In this
amount is included the expense
the probation officer. The at
tomey has s6775 and in this sum
is included the expenses of all the
justices of the peace and all Grim
inal expenses. The surveyor has
sSSS5. The treasurer gets
SASS. In this and all the other
officers the amounts include their
salaries. The coroner is allowed
$1,000. The county physiciani has
$500 at his disposal The county
superintendent is granted s3S75.
This sum includes her salary and
that of her deputy. The county
commissioners estimate their budget
at s23,7OO. This sum includes
bridges, roads and the county farm.

tension work is concerned. The
recent action taken in letting the
final contract to Payette lakes
proves the fact the Hartman sys-
tenn is anxious to have the new
line installed and has something
else in view besides a terminal at
the lakes. This object is to push
on north and beat the Hill system
