GOOD WORD FOR THE STATE

We have before us circular let
| Ter sent out by the management q
the Chicago Land Show. in wbicl
due credit is given for the proyres
'lVe strides the state has made with,
the past few years. In this connec
llon the letter states:
some people say that the United
States census figures are dry. The,
ought not be dry to boosters ot
Idaho. They speak of work well
done, for the figures are astonishing
Think Of 1913 per cent increase in
ten years in the number of farms
mink Of 96.6 per cent increase in
the acreage Of improved lands
Think of the great advance in the
value Of land -519.S per cent.
There is hardly another state in the
union that can compete with this
showing.
Think Of what the future means
to Idaho. Only 90 per cent of her
land area is now in farms. Only
"a per cent of the total land is
under irrigation. OF course. there
have been few failures i'm irripo-
tlon enterprises and there has been
a lot of Knocking, misunderstand
ing and ignorance. These things
stand in the way Of progress. But
II the people OF Idaho stand ready,
at all times, TO meet the issue, all
this amounts to very little.
We believe the people of Idaho
are ready to meet the issues that
have confronted them. At first too
much reliance was placed upon ire
sponsible irrigation companies. but
The publicity given these matters
has resulted in the land board TAX
ing more interest in irrigation Affairs
and rs a result some of these schem-
ers have been practically driven
rom the state, and a close scrutiny
IS being eNerted over Others. There
has been somewhat of 4 wall about
undue publicity, but the future Will
show that il il this kind Of publicity
that is putting confidence in the
people already here as well n others
who are looking favorably toward
Idaho.

LADDIES WORK TO
 SAVE MANY BALE:
Fire Department Has Tussle With Cotton Fire.-Pr0mpt Service
 Prevents Loss.

Bales of cotton near Third avenue and Chestnut street early this morn ing catching fire caused firemen a deal CT work in extinguishing the blazes and giving the bales of cotton nearby good bath to see that there was no danger of them catching, and If they had caught, that the fire was extinguished.
 So far as damage went there was comparatively small loss, as only eight bales were damaged to any ex- tent. Fire Chief Breiner said that he could not say how the fire originated, but he knew that there had been five or six calls on such fires as these and there must be something wrong. As this is close to the railroads, it may be sparks, and again there have been hints that the fires may have origi- aated either from carelessness or of incindary origin.

ANNUAL REPORTS
 SHOW NET GAINS County Clerk Nichol Made Nearly $4,000 for County
 During Past Year LINDSAY'S IS $3,858. .59 Itemized Reports of County Officers Being Submitted To Judge Grace
 For Audit.

C. M. NlChOl ana county Treasurer G. w. Lindsay have ben submitted to Judge A. B. Grace and the report o1 MT. Nichol approevd. The report o1 MT. Lindsay is to be approved this week, pending the addition of some recapitulations, which were asked for by Judge Grace in order to complete it.
 Notwithstanding the fact that cer- tain politicians have repeately charg- ed that the books of county officers are not audited in the face of the an nual audit of the commissioners ot accounts and the annual inspection of the reports by Judge Grace, the re- ports are so perfect in detail that no better audit could be made. The re- ports of Sheriff Brewster and Circuit Clerk Lytle are being prepared.
 Judge Grace especially compliment cd the report of County Clerk Nichol which consisted of more than forty pages, each itemized completely. MT. Nichols report and that of Treasurer Lindsay show every item of expense of their respective offices for the past year and every sum taken in as fees.
 The report of Mr. Nichol shows that during the past year he turned back into the county treasury in excess of expenses of the office $3,169.39 which practically goes back to the taxpay CTS of the county to be used in oper- ating the county government.
 The recapitulation of the county clerks report shows receipts as fol lows:
 November and December, 1912, $1, 467; January, February and March, S2,45S.25; April, May and June, $2, 067.60; July, August and September, s1,543.49; October, 1913, $436.55. County tax of fifty cents on 1,115 marriage license or total of $557.
 Total receipts for the year s8,53O. .39.
 The disbursements of the office dur ing the past twelve months include | deputy's salary $1,500; expense pre- pairing real estate assessments books stamps and incidentals, $316.45; fees earned for the county $3,54455; by treasurer's receipt $3,169.39. After al lowing the clerks $3,00O salary, which is paid by the county separately, the report shows net gain for the county from that office of $3,713.94. MT. Lindsays report shows total re- ceipts of $6,335.1O. sundry items of ex- pense, $76.60; treasurer's salary $2,- 400, with balance of net credit to the county in excess of expense of office $3,S5S.50.
 The showing made by County Clerl l NichOl is out of the ordinary because of the fact that he has separated his office with but one deputy, while al of his predecessors were given two deputies.
