proper route for the road was through

best route was to go up Hooker creek,

SHERIFF FRANK BRESHEARS
SUBMITS HIS REPORT
Cost of Transportation Affects Elk
pense of County Office.

The report of Sheriff Frank Bres-
hears for the quarter ending Sept. 80
shows that his Office turned over to
the county at the close of the quarter
S543.50. This was the second larges,
amount ever RENTED by the sheriff.
Office at the end of quarter period
The remittance the previous quarter
was $79s.97.
The decrease of $252.47 over the
report OF the first quarter of the pres
ent administration is due largely to
the fact that the sheriff and deputies
have been compelled to pay their
transportation in full, whereas they
formerly travelled on passes.
The sheriff's report for the las
quarter shows the amount received
rom fines to be $3.50; from civil doc
kct, 1922 60; from execution docket
$79275; total, $l43395. The expense:
OF the Office for the quarter, exclusive
0, salaries, were $SoO.45, leaving {
balance of $543.5O to be turned owe,
to the county.
The total license money collected
was $3.50. Twenty-Five prisoners
serving a total of S37 days, were con
fined in the county Jail during thu

parently anxious to commence serving
his term. The Tribune reader is Der,
iiectly familiar with all the events lead
ing up to the trial and conviction of
O'Neil and there is no occasion for
going over them again at this time.
Since his conviction Mr.. O'Neil has
received many words of sympathy
from all parts of the state which evil
dence the esteem in which he is held
personally. The people generally
seem to feel that Barnev O'Neil has
been punished sufficiently; that there
IS no danger of him ever again vio-
lating the law even. technically; and
that no good purpose either to him or
to the state can be accomplished by
keeping him in the penitentiary. There
is talk among his friends of taking
steps Immediately to secure his par
don at an early date. We believe that
such a move would meet with the ap-
proyal OF the people of Idaho. Barney
O'Neil has some faults and great
many virtues. The former will not
be corrected in the penitentiary and
we fear the latter will be useless to
him or any one else.

Two Sides to the Question.

At present the public mind is agi-
tated over the fact that Idaho irri-
cation securities are not considered
the best of securities in the eastern
market. Robert A. Chaplain of New
York recently expressed his opinion
OF the manner in which irrigation en-
terprises are undertaken and financed.
1t is too bad that Idaho securities are
undesirable and the state should take
every means within its power to make
them desirable to investors. 1t should
be borne in mind however that the
present low status of irrigation secu-
rites is nothing new. Cary act irri-
cation company bonds have always
sold at from IS to 90 cents on the dol
lar, and rarely at the latter figure At
a time when Cary act segregations
were eagerly sought by promoters
they gave in justification of the high
cost of water to the land owners the
fact that their bonds were subject to
a big discount in the eastern market.
Now comes Mr.. Chaplain with the
story that he thought these bonds
were backed by the state and that
there was no danger OF the companies
defaulting in the payment of interest.
Neither Mr. Chaplain nor his company
ever thought anything of the kind
In the first place their attorneys in
vestigated before the company ever
handled the bonds. If they did not
make this investigation the company
itself is criminally negligent. In the
second place state guaranteed bonds
do not 60 begging at rs cents on the
dollar. When bonds are offered at
such a price the purchaser knows at
once that he is taking more or less
risk.
The Tribune heartily approves Of
everything that will make Idaho irri-
cation securities worth par in the mar
ket, but we have little patience with
bond companies who took the risk and
are now complaining because the in
tcrcst payments were temporarily de-
fcrrcd.
