Concluding from the evidence that
John Burns and Joe Hopfenzitz were
not bootleggers. as alleged. but that
they were merely siwashed citizens
who were unable to resist the tempta-
ton to secure drinks during the holi-
day season, and that the three days
that each spent in Jail constituted
punishment sufficient in each case

release. They were accused OF buy
ing intoxicating liquor for persons TO

VIEW DISCOVERY ON
PINE CREEK REPORTED
cLAIMS-WIDE LEDGE or GA
LENA is EXPOSED.

BEELER, Idaho, Jan. 1.-(SpeciaD-
What is considered to be the finest
strike made on Pine creek in years
was uncovered short time ago by
Robert Snyder on his homestead about
two miles above the forks of the
creek 1t is an entirely new discovery
and two locations were made.
A ledge seven or eight feet wide has
been exposed and carries about five
feet of fairly good lead silver concen-
trating ore. The work 50 far done
consists only Of an open cut with
face about 10 feet high. This shows
the ledge to be well defined and having
the proper course, cutting the forma
tion. 1t is planned little later to
start crosscut tunnel lower down
and this is expected to open a fine
body of ore judging from the showing
made at the discovery point
For the amount of work done the
new strike is regarded to be the best
made in the Pine creek country. The
discovery has created quite a stir
among other claim owners on the west
fork of the creek. The locations made
join the ground of the International
Mining company, Fred Mays proper
ty, on the north and run from the
creek bottom up the mountain The
discovery is only q short distance above
the wagon road and near Snyder's
home.

STATE UNIVERSITY TO
ASK sum OF s40l,623
LIBERAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR
uPkEEP AND IMPROVEMENTS
WILL BE URGED.

In order that the University of Ida
ho may be properly conducted for the
next two years, or from January /,
1913 to January /, 1915, the legislature,
which convenes the first Monday in
January, 1918, will be asked to appro-
pirate $410,623 for that institution, ac-
cording to the official report of the
board of regents covering 1911 and
1912 made to Governor James Fl. Haw-
ley. The report Is submitted in bound
form by L. H. Moftitt president Of the
board of regents, with the following
brief statement:
"To His Excellency, the Governor of
Idaho.-Sir: II have the honor to pre-
sent for your consideration the report
Of the board of regents of the Univer-
sity of Idaho for the period beginning
January 1. 1911, and ending December
81, 1912"
Relative to attendance the report
says:
The university is beginning its 21st
year under very favorable conditions.
Some comparison of attendance with
10 and 20 years ago may well be In
place. OF strictly collegiate students
there are (November. 1922, 375: for
the years 19O2-03 the number is 1923;
and for S192-93, g. Perhaps the most
striking change is in the proportion Of
college and preparatory students. AT
the first opening of the doors Of the
institution In 1892 practically all stu
dents were of preparatory grade and
not until the thirteenth year 1904-05)
did the number of college students ex-
ceed the number of preparatory stud
ents. In the past eight years. how
ever, the growth of four-year high
schools over the state has been re-
markable and as corollary to this,
the preparatory school has become less
important. so that now. out of a total
of 709 students enrolled, only 33 are
preparatory students. Lattcrly this
decline has been FASTENED by the ac
tion of the regents I'm eliminating one
year of the school each year, SO that
next year 1t is expected that only the
twelfth grade work will be offered, and
the following year none.

FORMER SUPERVISOR
Of FOREST RETURNS
FROM ALASKA STATION
W. G. WGlGlE PAYS WALLACE A
VISIT WHILE EN- ROUTE
-w
--'-' TO PORTLAND.
Finds ketehikan Country Pleasant
Place to live-Minins Industry Is
Growing at Rapid Rate and Much
Development Work Being Planned.

w. G. Weigle, former supervisor OF
the Coeur dAlene forest. who has
many friends in Wallace, was in the
city on New Years day. He came
down from Alaska few days ago and
leaves today for Portland After con-
ferring with the department officials
stationed in Portland he will return to
Alaska and resume his duties on the
southeast coast.
Mr.. Weigle is stationed at ketchi-
kan and has thousand miles of the
coast in his territory. The timber, far
ming and mining industries are extern
sive and require constant attention on
the part of the government. All big
enterprises go in on permit and the
demand for these permits is growing
at a rapid rate. Fine bodies of spruce
hemlock and cedar timber are being
cut and most of the product is being
utilized in connection with the extern
sive fishing industries along the coast.
Mr.. Weigle made 800 timber sales last
year. all to companies beginning work
Immediately. A great deal of land is
being homesteaded and many mining
claims located. This necessitates much
surveying, three parties being kept
busy in the ketchIkan district all last
year.
I'VE do not have the constant men
ace from forest fires that exists In the
northwestern states" said Mr.. Weigle,
but still there are many occurring in
the summer time in the Cook inlet
country. In the summer 1t is neces-
sary to keep big force of fire fighters
and rangers in the field in that section
while in the southeast there are very
few fires, this being largely due to the
heavier rainfall There are some very
fine bodies of timber in my territory
although it is being mainly utilized at
home. The sales made last year in
clude about 50,0OO,000 feet.
"The mining industry in southeast
ern Alaska is growing rapidly. There
will be close to $4,000,O00 worth of de-
velopment work done in the section
close around Juneau within the next
two years. The number of men en-
ployed is increasing every year On
the first of October there were 1900
men on the payrolls of mining COM
panies around Juneau, in addition to
the large number employed by the
great TreadwelI company which is, Of
course, the largest, employer"
Mr.. Weigle expressed himself as
very willing to spend longer term of
service in the Alaskan field. The cli-
mate is much more agreeable than is
generally supposed and the summers
are very enjoyable. At Kctchikan the
lowest temperature recorded last VIM
ter was 9 degrees above zero There
is considerable rain and snow during
the winter on the coast, while inland.
naturally, the tempera ture is lower
and the weather more severe. The
cost of living is not more than in the
Coeur 'dAlenes. whila wages as rule
are much higher.

MINING COMPANY is SUED.
st. Paul Capitalist Institutes Action to
Collect $87,0S3.


The Coeur dAlene North Fork Min
ing and Smelling company, operating
on the North Fork, has been made de-
fendant in a suit brought by +. d.
Kendrick, capitalist of st. Paul, who
seeks to compel the payment of mon ay

kERNS WILL APPEAL
TO SUPREME CUURT
ACTION PROTESTING AGAINST
ISSIoNERs' PROCEED.
ING IS DISMISSED.

In district court Monday Judge
Woods dismissed the case brought by
A. G. Kerns of Wallace as citizen
and taxpayer, which constituted a
protest against the action of the board
of county commissioners in appropri-
ating a large sum for the employment
of outside counsel to help prosecute
the defendants in the cases growing
out of the State Bank of Commerce
failure, Mr.. Kerns sought an order
reversing the act of the board but
when the arguments were heard Mon
day the case was dismissed by Judge
Woods.
Attorney kerns states that he will
take the case to the state supreme
court and obtain a ruling on the right
of county commissioners to appropri-
ate sums of money for the employ
ment of additional counsel in cases of
this kind. He Is confident the ruling
will show the action of the commits
sioners to be in conflict with the stat
utes and will be declared Illegal.
In asking for a reversal of the order
made by the commissioners, Mr.. kerns
gave four reasons as follows.
|. That the board of county COM
missoners had no legal authority to
issue such an order.
2. That the order Is Illegal and pre-
judicial to public interest
3. That no necessity existed for tho
making of such an order.
4, That a reversal Is necessary for
the interests of the county and people.
The principal contention in law is
that Shoshone county Is not a party
of interest in the case and that the
burden of the prosecution rests upon
the state. He believes that If addi-
tional counsel is required. the state
and not the county should bear the
expense.

MACE VISITED BY SNOWSL|DE SUNDAY;
]. v. FLAHERTY, HECLA MINER. KILLED

In the first snowslde of any size to
be reported this season. occurring at
Mace last Sunday evening, James w.
t'laherty, Hecla miner, lost his life,
and Lem Kelly, his partner and room
mate, narrowly escaped the same fate.
The remains of Flaherty were found
buried beneath 80 feet of snow and
rock at point near the Northern Pa
cific railroad, more than 200 feet dis
tant from where he was overtaken by
the avalanche. 1t was evident that he
had been crushed to death. One arm
was broken in several places and the
bones of his chest were broken. Death
was no doubt instantaneous.
The two miners occupied a cabin on
the hill and had just come off shift,
While Kelly began making prepara-
tions for the evening meal, Flaherty
took a pail and started to a spring a
short distance from the cabin, for
water. He had been gone but a min
ute or two when the cabin was struck
by the avalanche and hurled from its
foundations. Kelly broke through
door and though but a few seconds
had passed since his first intimation
of danger, all was over Knowing
that his friend must have been caught
and buried, he gave the alarm, Hun
dreds of miners responded and through
out the night worked with tireless en-
ergy to find the missing man, Their
search was not rewarded until after
90 o'clock Monday morning, when
one of the shovelers came upon the
lifeless body.
People Arc Panic Stricken.
To the fear that others beside the
unfortunate miner had been caught
was added the menace of other slides,
conditions being extremely favorable.
The people of Mace were in a panic Of
we'll founded fear and few slept dur
ing the night. The school house. be-
ing considered one of the safest spots,
was thrown open and many spent the
night in the building.
