BLAME FALLS
TO GOV.
HAWLEY
JOINT COMMITTEES
CONSIDER PROBLEM
Legislature Faces Deficiency in Var
ioua State 'nstitutiond Asgreoatino
Nearly SO, ,ooo-committeed From
Both Houses Wrestling With Prob
lens-WiIl Put il Up to LeeaisIaAure

Boise, Feb. 8-Last evening the
finance committee of the senate and
the appropriations committee of the
house came face to face with the prob.
lem of deficiencies in various state in
stitutions amounting to the alarming
total of practically $4,000, including
a $14,578 item for the Ross Fork road.
Some excuse, it Is claimed, was
found for some of the deficiency items
in the policy pursued by Governor
Hawley two years ago. He vetoed
items In the general appropriation
bill, something mover done by gov
ernor before, and in this way, it is
charged, crippled some of the institu-
tions in their work. On the heels of
this it is charged against Governor
Hawley that when he was convinced
that some of the institutions, the nor
NAL school at Lewiston, for example,
were crippled, he advised the issue of
deficiency warrants.
Some of those present in the meet
ing last evening declared that they
would not vote for a deficiency ap-
preparation bill under any circum-
stances
1t was finally decided to throw tho
entire deficiency into the legislature
in one lump sum without recommenda-
tion of any kind and let the whole
matter, together with the reasons for
the deficiencies, be threshed out in
the house and senate.

Well Known Blackfoot Mill Man Be.
comes Interested In Lost River
Milling Company's Plant
(Mackay Miner)

Mr.. w. H. Danilson, of Blackfoot,
has purchased the ]. H. Hemperly in
terest in the Lost River Milling Com
pany and with the purchase assumes
the management of the business
Mr.. Danilson has been the very ef-
flcient manager and secretary of the
Farmers Milling Company of Black
foot, for the past six years, building
up a very satisfactory business for
that institution. He has been a
resident of Blackfoot since 70 and is
we'll acquainted throughout the Snake
river valley in southeastern Idaho
About six years ago he completed a
term as assessor and collector of
Bingham county in manner most
creditable to himself and the people
who elected him and enjoys the
confidence and esteem of the people
with whom he has been widely asso.
ciated for the past twenty years His
advent into the business life of Mac.
kay is welcomed. He brings to the
mill valuable experience in the
conduct of that kind of business. His
family will join him in Mackay as soon
as property interests in Blackfoot
can be disposed of.
Mr.. Hemperly, who was the foun-
der of the Lost River Milling Co.,
and its active and capable manager,
is selling his interests in this very
neat institution only to accept his old
position as sales agent for the Wolf
Machinery Company, manufacturers of
flour mills. He was with that con-
cern many years and is as thorough
and successful in that line as he
Is in the actual operation Of mills. He
expects to make his Headquarters in
Butte, Mont, a central point for the
territory given him. which comprises
the states Of Utah, Idaho. Montana
Wyoming, the wester rn Dakotas and
eastern Oregon and Washington.
Mr.. Danilson is now in active
charge of the Company's affairs.

W. H. Danilson Takes Over
Hemperly Interest In Mill
Were Fined Fifty Each

Last Saturday Deputy Sheriff Fack-
rell went to Shelley and placed under
arrest James Poulson and Lars Gjet-
trup, two young men who were play
ing wild west, very much against the
peace and quiet Of that retiring little
city and extremely irritating to the
nervous systems of several of the in
habitants. 1t is said that the brand
of booze which is known to be sold
In that village played it's part in the
game. Anyway the western wing Of
Biffalo Bulls western hippodrome was
pulled down to Blackfoot and Judge
Jensen took a fall out of them for
$50 each. 1t comes high but some
folks seem to like it.

COMMITTEE
Action Of Lieutenant Governor in Vio-
Iating Senate Precedent Causes Talk

Through the action of President
Taylor Of the senate today in naming
Senator Hunt of Bannock county to
serve on the industrial school investi-
eating committee, the charge is made
that coat Of immaculate "whitewash''
is being prepared for the officials of
that institutionI
In appointing Senator Hunt, it is
said that President Taylor violated a
rule Of legislative etiquette, by ignor-
ing Senator Edgington. whose bill was
responsible for the investigation
The senator from Bonneville intro
duced the measure creating tho commit
tee and according to precedent should
have been honored by appointment 10
the committee.
Edgington is known to be in favor
Of thorough and searching investi-
cation of conditions at the school,
both at this time and as to conditions
previous to the recent investigation
when charges were made that the
school officials were treating their
charges in an inhuman manner.
According to rumor in the senate
chamber today Senator Hart of Fre-
mont, who is said to be favorable to
the industrial school officials, is re-
sponsible for the appointment of Sen.
atOr Hunt.

This damnable action on the part
of President Taylor should receive the
condemnation of every Idahoan who
has soul, and love for little child
rem. There has been little doubt in
the minds of all who have watched
the last administrators at
tempt to whitewash this scandal,
that it would be done if possible, but
when officers were elected at the last
general election, it was thought that

 kins & Allen Plant.


 Is Jesus in the World Today? was the subject of the address by Rev. George IT. Strouse under Y M. q A. auspices at the Hopkins & Allen plant Friday noon. He said in part:
 The biS-hearted Jesus was Gods first Christmas present to the world and We never tire of that gift. With your dear children you journey hack to Bethlehem year after year. And there you see Jesus, the worlds king, sleeping in a manager. But yet, nen, after all, what does 1t avail us if Christ were born in Bethlehem 1900 years ago and be not born in you and usc
 Why. yes. Jesus is in the world now. We can't brush Jesus out of the unI- verse which is his and over which he fs destined to rule. His removal from us would be as disastrous as the suns refusal to ever shine again. Jesus has cvue 10 stay. There is more of Jesus in the world than ever before More of us have caught his spirit than in any age of the worlds history. And men who never give Jesus much thought. catch the Christ spirit at Christmas time and for a season it least. live the altruistic life.
 Men. fall in line and just allow Jesus to fii and bless your lives.

 Men weren't living the sacriEcial life until Jesus came and taught "that st was more blessed to give than to re- ceire- Today in the mission fields thousands are being healed without money and without price. The world Is catching the Christ spirit and the faster we get 1t the happier we are.
