STATE GROWERS
In BIG EXCHANGE
Hope to OIL tim Higher Prices
for Berries in Organizing
Against Buyers

GEORGETOWN, Del. Mar 6.-The
Delaware Produce Exchange is max
ing an effort to establish branch at
Georgetown, and IL is very probable
that the berry growers will become
members of the exchange. With a
large number of buyers at George
town last year only moderate prices
were secured on account of an al
legged combination which the buyers
entered into in which they refused to
bid against each other Prohting by
that experience, the growers this year
will probably enter the exchange.
where a market price is always paid
Berry growers around Lincoln and
Glendale have for the first time in
the history of their business signed
contracts with local canning factories
and viii not ship their berries into
the open market The Gamers oblig-
ate to take the entire crop, for which
they viii pay cents quart. The
growers obllgate to grow sound
berries. Last year no berry buyers
went to those towns. and the farmers
houses at their own risk. With no
iced cars with the chance OF fraud
by commission houses, few of the
farmers received any profit on their
crop. and their action in signed con-
tracts has been the result The can
ming factories will pack the crop in
cans for winter consumption.
Stockley farmers. have rejected an
offer of $40 a ton for sugar corn, 10 he
delivered for the canneries, and are
contending for S12.
Oppose Game Law.
Local oranges are opposing strenu-
ously the proposed game law now be-
fore the State Legislature, taxing each
gunner 81 a year According to the
argument advanced by the farmers,
they are compelled TO feed the game
during the winter; they are the ones
who are bothered with the rabbits
gnawing their young trees. and yet
when the cunning season opens they
are also the ones compelled 10 pay
a license for cunning. They claim
that If the law is passed and enforced
they will close their lands TO gun
ners and prosecute any man who steps
on their domain.

TEST POWER
OF TAX BOARD
BANNOCK COUNTY CORNERSTONE
ERS REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE
STATE COMMISSION.
Action Will Be Brought in Supreme
Court to Test COnstitutiOnality of
the New Law.

POCATELLO, Aug. 2.-Doubting the
power and authority of the state tax
commission to order county boards to
change assessments, the Bannock
county board has decided to ignore the
commissions recent order reducing
the assessment on the Franklin &
Hayes brewery in this city from SIS,
900, as equalized by the board, to
$11, ,000 the amount fixed by the COM
mission after a formal hearing here.
The board believes it is better quail
flied to fix the value of the plant than
the state commission, and will there
fore ignore the commissions orders.
1t is expected that Franklin & Hayes
will petition some court OF competent
Jurisdiction for writ of mandate,
compelling the county board to lower
their assessment as fixed by the COM
mission. This is expected to bring
into question the constitutionality of
the new law creating the tax COM

GREAT DANGER
CONFRONTS COUNTY
RELEASE OF GUDGER FROM CUUN.
TY JAIL LAST NIGHT CAUSES
COMMENT.
Necessity for New Jail Now Becomes
More Apparant Than Ever
Before.

That there is a particular danger
confronting the people of Latah coun-
ty by reason of the insanitary cund1,
t1on of the county Jail is the opinion
in official circles of the county. This
was evidenced to marked degree
last evening when Judge Edgar c.
Steele in the district court granted a
writ of habeus corpus presented by
Attorney William M. Morgan asking
for the release of G. E. Gudger who
was convicted of gambling on July 10
and fined 5000 in default of payment
of the same for which he was SEN
fenced to 100 days in jail.
The question now confronting offic-
lals of the county is whether or not
such contingencies will not arise con-
statly thus possibly leaving an avenue
open for the release of other Grim
inals who may suffer penalties in La
tab county who are in a similar condi-
tion to that of Gudger.
The petition for the release of the
prisoner is extensive and contains ex-
hibits of the various statements made
by county, state and federal officials
relative to the condition of the local
jail and of it's dangerous condition to
health. Gudger was sent to the Lew
iston Jail and placed in charge of the
Nez Perce county officials but because
of being afflicted with tuberculosis
the Nez Perce officials refused to care
for Gudger further and asked Latah
county to come after the prisoner.
Gudger was returned to Moscow
yesterday and placed in the county
Jail but because of the danger to his
life his attorney asked for his relier.
Under the circumstances the court
was compelled to honor the writ
forthwith
The need for new Jail was never
more in demand than at the present
time and the release last evening of
Gudger is the first instance of the |
kind occurring to bring the matter
forcibly to the attention of the tax |
payers of the county.

WILL MAKE TEST
NEW WAGE LAW
INTERESTING SUIT FOR WAGES
FILED IN THE DISTRICT
COURT.
Paving Firm Must Defend Suit Filed
by LabOrer Who Was Not Paid
When Discharged.

| In the district court this afternoon
a complaint was filed by Nisbet &
Mason, attorney for Cal Cline, labor
er who was employed for a short
time by the d-Mendenhall company
on the paving work in the city and
then discharged without being paid for
his labors. The complaint alleges that
Cline demanded payment but that his
employers refused to comply with his
demands, telling him that he could not
be paid until the regular pay day
several weeks later.
Nisbet G Mason will endeavor in
behalf of the complainant to collect
regular wages for thirty days from
the time that Cline was discharged and
refused payment for his work
The case is a novel one being bas-
ed on a section of the 1911 session laws
supreme court of the state The sec
ton permits an employe until paid
in full to collect wages for period
not exceeding thirty days after the
termination of his contract of employ
ment for each day that his employer
is in default without rendering serv-
ice." Only one action has ever arisen
under this section, that being in a case
on similar circumstances against the
same company when they were doing
work at Weiser in Wash !
ington county. The action at Weiser
resulted favorably for the complain
ant.

OBSTINATE YOUTH
APPEARS AGAIN
CAREER OF YOUNG
MAN WILL END IN STATE
INSTITUTION.
Not IncOrrigable But Loves to Wander
and Refuses Good OFFICES of
Charitably Inclined.

After two years of obstinate rebel
lion against the efforts of the probate
court to place him in a home or find
work through which he could earn
food and shelter John Foster, aged a6,
who is thought to be an orphan was
brought to Moscow yesterday by Pro-
baton Officer Roy Johnson and lodg-
ed in the county Jail to await action on
the part of Judge Morgareidge. Young
Foster has been prominent in juvenile
court circles for the past two years
and was several times placed in good
homes. But each time the youngster
grew tired of so much peace and quiet
and set out again for himself. Last
winter he wandered away as far as
Spokane and was there picked up by
the police and placed in the juvenile
home until arrangements could be made
to return him to Moscow. He was
later committed to the county poor
farm but poor farm life was too simple
to suit him and gathering up as much
county property as he could well han
die he once more transformed himself
into a tramp.
Complaints have been made for some
time that the boy has been caught
lifting" the property of his various
foster parents and Probation Officer
Johnson expressed his doubt whether
any one can be found willing to take
another chance with the youngster. He
will probably be taken to st. Anthony
within the next few days and placed
in the state industrial school, not be-
cause he is altogether incorrigable or
deserving of such sentence, but for the
want of a better home.
The boy declares that his parents
used to live near Viola, but that he
1oes not know where they are now.
All efforts on the part of the court to
ocate any relatives of young Foster
lave been unavailing.
