the former attempt at removal, to
Governor Eberhart, Tuesday, and asked
that the mayor be removed.
The governor advised Mr.. Vernon to
confer with the attorney general, who
stated that in his opinion the governor
had no power Of removal.
The only course to pursue for re-
moval would be by an action brought
against the mayor by the county at

though successful, the mayors term
will have expired.

ALFALFA QUARANTINE MODIFIED
Ban Raised by California and Ship
ments May be Made From In
fected Districts.

| BOISE, Nov. 20.-The quarantine or
der issued by the state horticultural
inspector on February "a, which pro-
hibited the shipment to other parts Of
the state of alfalfa hay and seed from
counties in the southeastern part of
the state which are infested with
alfalfa weevil, has been modified by an
order issued upon date of November
that section into other counties of the
state of alfalfa seed provided it is
contained in new seamless sacks and is
properly inspected, either at point of
shipment or point of delivery. The
counties interested in this modification
of quarantine order are Bear Lake.
Franklin and Oneida. This modifica-
ton of quarantine was decided upon by
the state horticultural inspector after
a thorough investigation of the al
falfa weevil in those counties during
the past season by T. H. Parks, field
who found that there is
no danger in allowing the
alfalfa seed to be shipped out, pro-
vided it was put up in the prescribed
seamless sacks. AS matter of pre-
caution, however, and protection to the
rest of the state, these shipments are
allowed only subject to inspection by
the deputy state horticultural inspec-

preventative Charles Linthicum, O
Maryland, was elected presiding Officer
of today's convention of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways association. Canal
Approaches to Baltimore, North and
South" was the topic chosen by Linth-
icum for his address. He pleaded with
the members to make concerted effort
to secure appropriations and legisla-
ton for the improvement of inland
waterways. He pointed out that
streams now having little relation to
the commercial world could be made
extremely valuable with reasonable ex-
penditures of money.
at is unnecessary to recall to your
attention." said Linthicum, the recent
appropriations for inland streams hav-
inc little relation to commercial needs
and based on local consideration ana
on questions entirely apart from com
merce. 1t is not these that will prove
a material aid to trade, but there are
many other small tributaries which
would prove of immense value if open
ed up to commerce. If the needs OF
commerce and the demands of existing
raffic are to be given due considera-
ion we must raise our voices before
congress-" Members attending the Mis-
issippi to Atlantic Waterways asso-
iation at Palatka, Florida, were ex
,ected to join the delegates of the
atlantic Deeper Waterways association
lere tonight. Senator Fletcher was
cheduled to address the joint con-
ention.

are now harbored in bastiles at Lew

respect to separating prisoners who
are awaiting trial from those who
are serving sentences No additional
space has been provided and owing to
the slender allowance made for i'm

been done as will make the Jail more
sanitary.
