man SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Rowan, who is at the head
OF the music department, spent
Thanksgiving with her parents in
the city of Fargo. Oh we'll, tur-
key always did taste better un-
der the parental roof. ;.
Our boys, that is, those of our
boys who play basketball, and are
trying out for the team, played a
lraetipe I kanne with the Indian
school team on the afternoon of
Thanksgiving day.
While speaking Of basket ball
it might be we'll to say that a
captain of the boys team has:
been chosen. The captain is a
member of the Freshman class
and this is his first year. in high
school. He is starting good if
we would judge from appearan-
ces. Two other boys ran against
him but their speed was not suf-
ficient and consequently we find
that Freshman though he is, he
carried off the trophy, Mr.. Royce
l refer to, otherwise known as
Herbert. The election was held
in the Armory Monday night af-
ter the days practice.
On the evening of Thanksgiv-
ing day the Indians gave lit
tie dance to the basketball boys,
both of the Indian and of the
high school. All attended report
good time and they-that is
the high schol lads, Said that
they would be perfectly willing to
do the same thing over again
since the formalities of being in
troduced to the Indian maidens
have already been performed. One
young man was heard to remark
that if he did get turned down by
a high school girl he would know
where to turn.
We expect to have a high school
party in the near future, and if
we do, we intend to have a good
time. Watch the bulletin board
for further facts on this subject.
All the Senior class rings have
been ordered and it is now only a
matter Of time before the Seniors
will be wearing them.
The Junior class treasurer is
beginning to feel anxious about
the matter of Junior dues. He is
urging the class to be more
prompt in paying up. Such at
least is the Interpretation that
one would make Of the numer-
Gus notices which are to be seen
on the blackboard in the assembly
room.
The German I class is not con-
tent with merely translating Ger
man songs. They must sing them
also. A large percentage of the
German class remained after
school Tuesday afternoon and
sang two or three of the songs.
i'm the original tongue.
Edith Purdon, a member of the
Junior class and for three years
a resident Of this high school
building, was elected captain Of
the girls basketball team last
Tuesday afternoon at the Armory.
Mr.. West has added another
song to our list of athletic high
school songs. The song consists
of four verses and a catchy chor-
us. We have rot sang it as yot
bat Mr.. We>t states that Il -
extraordinarily s."od.

One of the duties Of the State
Highway Commission that was Gre
ated 10y the last legislature was to
select a route for a public highway
across the state. There seems to be
somewhat Of rivalry between the
north and south part of the state a.
10 which section will be chosen a
this official route. While the north
ern towns are presenting their argu-
rnents i'm favor OF locating the high
way through that section and back
ing up their arguments with the
cold cash, the towns in the south
half are also awakening to the fact
that If they expect to secure this
route they must get busy. \ meet
ing was held at Twin Falls las
week attended by Representatives
from Filler, Bull, Hagernam ano
Bliss, for the purpose of arranging
for some definite organization, where
by the commission might be mad
aware of the advantages of the rout
through that section At this meet
ing a set of resolutions were adopted
which will he presented to the com
mission. In the meantime, Sho
shone and Gooding are also biddin
for the route. 1t is apparent, how
ever, that if the southern part {
the state is selected, the line wi
include Shoshone Falls, and in this
event, Jerome will be the direct lin
west from the falls.

acquire title to their land at once,
even before becoming citizens.
Acting upon a recommendation
of the governor the legislature lost
no time in wiping the law on the
subject from the statute books. One
of the sections repealed contained
the following:
That Chinese or persons of Mon
gnlian descent not born in the
United States, are not permitted TO
acquire title to land or any real
property under the provisions of
this and preceding sections
The governor signed the repeal
bill and it becomes effective May

SERUM FOUND INEFFECTIVE.

Last winter the Idaho legislature
appropriated s5, 900 for the manu-
facture of a hog cholera serum, but
the practical use of the same has
been found TO be ineffective in
checking the disease which has been
prevalent among hogs in some por-
tions of the, state.
Professor John +. Nicholson, in
charge OF the department Of bacter-
iology at the University Of Idaho
raises grave doubts rs To whether
the disease that has been so destruct
i've among the hogs of southern
Idaho is really cholera. In all thu
experiments he has tried i'll recen
months at the university he ha
failed to develop a case of hog chol
era, and this leads him to thinl
that the Idaho hogs are suffering
from some other disease, probabl.
swine plague.

Reports that will not down are
going the rounds locally that W. II.
Bancroft, general manager of the
Hartman interests in this section is
negotiating for the purchase out
right of all the power interests and
all the interurban traction interests
in this section Of Idaho. This deal
which the reports have it are now
well underway, includes the Kuhn
power interests, the Beaver River
company holdings, all the interests
Of the Idaho Oregon Light 4 Power
company, and all the interests Of
the Idaho Traction company.
When it is said that this deal
runs well up into the millions the
statement will be taken by those
familiar with the properties to be
conservative, and just what is back
of it can only be surmised. There
are those who look upon it as a de-
finite move in a great war for con-
troll Of this section between the
Hartman interests and the James
J. Hill interests, a war in which
electrical power is to cut an impor-
tant figure. This is regarded as all
the more significant in the light Of

THE AUTO TAX LAW.

The new automobile tax law en-
acted by the last legislature, went
into effect on Tuesday of last week.
The law. besides providing for the
payment of an annual license based
upon the horsepower used. also lays
down rules and regulations for run
ming the machines upon the public
highways Of the state and provides
stringent penalties for violations.
The amount Of license to be col
lected annually, which has hereto

numbers on machines are excluded
except that motorcycles may hav
the number painted as described
upon the rear mudguard. All deal
ers are required to pay license O
S35 per year and this number ma.
be changed from one machine t
another, but if dealer should ais
use another machine or any numbe
of them for hire such dealers woul'
have to pay license for each ma
chine so used. Automobiles OF dea
ers and manufacturers are subject
however, to taxation the same

Applicants for postofhces and
other federal appointments under
the new administration are meeting
with all manner of troubles. Now
comes the Postmaster General and
says that all applicants for fourth
class postotlices must be subjected
To an examination. This means
that the fellow who runs the little
country store with the postofiice as
an adjunct will be deprived of the
privilege if some farmer outdoes
him in the examination. Appli-
cants for the second and third class
offices must affirm that they vii

NEW BAGGAGE RULES.

Beginning June all pieces of
baggage which measure over 40
inches in length will have to he
paid for at the rate of five pounds
in access for each additional inch
over the length specified, while the
limit of any piece of baggage which
can be checked is fixed at - inches.
An attempt was made by the rail
roads to put this rule into effect Il
year ago but the interstate COM
merce commission objected and
compelled the railroads to modify
both the length and the charges.
The new schedule has been approved
which will cause many trunks to be
cut down and will cause CONNER
cial men to pay considerable excess.

adopted by the electors of this state
last fall making the county treas
urer of the respective counties of the
state ex-ofiicio tax collector, is self
operative, according to an opinion

for a writ of mandate was made 10y
Mrs. Cleary, who is treasurer o.

who is county assessor of the sam'
county, to compel the county asses
sor to turn over the books and prop
erty used and required by the ta'
collector, permitting the count,

CAN COME TO IDAHO.

If the Japanese are driven out of
California as result of the inter-
national complications that have
arisen over the holding of real estate
by aliens, they may come to Idaho
and hold all the land they are able
to pay for because the last session
of the legislature repealed every law
intended to bar them from this
privilege.
The discovery was made today by
Attorney General Peterson when he
received a message from Governor
johnson of California asking him
fas to the status of the Idaho law on
this subject. On the receipt of this
message the attorney general made
a hurried investigation to learn that
the legislature last winter repealed
sections 2609-26l0, covering thu
subject. Just now when Californl;

SuStains the Orders.

In the matter of the appeal of
the Shoshone school district and

the board of county commissioners
establishing the jerome school dis
trict and alloting to it certain mile
age of the main line of the Oregon
Short Line, which was heard before
Judge Walters a short time ago, the
Judge has addressed a letter to the
attorneys in the case in which he
states that he does not find that
the orders of the county commits
sioners were prejudicial to the pub
lie interests.
While this is not a final decision
on the part of the Judge in the mat
ter, it is practically a dismissal OF
the appeal taken and is considered
as victory for the Jerome district.
The counsel for the various respon-
dents however, are ordered to pre-
pare the finding of facts and con-
clusions Of law in the case and pre-
sent them not later than Saturday,

IDAHO'S MAMMOTH CAVE.

We have a mammoth cave right
at home. 1t is three miles in
length and only 20 miles south
westerly from Haley and it can be
easily reached by automobiles as a
wagon road leads directly to it.
J. c. Fox and his three sons, DR..
Z. w. Russell and Howard and
John Gilman, Jr., visited the cave
yesterday, making the run there
and back in their car. The road
might be better but it is in such
condition that the run can be made
from HALEY in an hour.
The entrance to the cave is at the
base of a lava butte and is merely a
hole about fourteen feet deep by
eight feet wide. From this hole
one has to crawl for about twenty
feet under the hanging rock.
The cave then opens into a large
dome-shaped passage which extends
back apparently under the butte for
three-fourths Of a mile. Another
low and narrow passage then opens
into a similar dome-shaped room.
The cave runs back southeast for
about two miles and turns abruptly
TO the east and extends for about a
mile. The formation inside the
cave is mostly lava but this is
streaked with white limestone anC
in some places it is entirely of pure
white limestone. The limestone for
nation may be as hard as rock, a
soft as powder, or again very brittle
The lava rock and limestone forma
ton leads one to believe that tn
cave has been a crater and that al
of the limestone did not burn out
In the succeeding ages water, per
{ haps an underground river, ha
made numerous ledges and left
