Same Here.

yesterday a couple of advertising
fakirs struck our city and showed up
at this office They wanted figures on
from 5000 to 10000 letter heads. On
each letter head is printed bit of
a write-up of the city, worthless in it
self, and the business address of the
firms that cooperate in the scheme.
We turned them down because we did
not want to mix up in it. A business
house that turns out such a letter
head stultifes itself before every per-
son who gets one. No business house
can afford to have cheap stationery,
for the person who receives it gets his
impression of the firm from it. If you
got worked on this deal it will be
money in your pocket to shove them
into the waste basket or use them for
scratch pads. No business man can
afford to go before the public with
cheap stationery, any more than it
can afford to send out dirty, ragged
advance agent or representative. The
sensible business man turns down the
fakir.'
The above is from the Caldwell Ida
hoan. The same deal was worked
here. We haven't seen samples of the
but if reports are true the
scheme is little short of blackmail,
for if a merchant does not give the
smooth agents an order his name does
not appear in the list of boosters"
The agents took out of town nice lit
tie sum of money as their wages for a
few hours work The same work
IAN be done for the same money
nome without paying an outsider a
-ake-off.

Hon. H. C. Duncan, one of the larg-
est breeders of Shorthorn cattle in
the United States, accompanied Col.
W. C. Hunter from Kansas City and
has been a guest at Frozen Doy ranch
this week. He has been busy making
a tour of the bench and slope and ex-
pressed himself as highly pleased with
the extent of the fruit section and the
quality of the fruit. He was sur
prised at the excellence of the corn
grown here. This is Mr.. Duncan's
first visit to an irrigated country, and
he is amazed at the way water is made
to run up hill.

Wheat Pest Here

The Mediterranean moth, one of the
scourges of millers in some of the
states, has at last made its appear
ance in Idaho, and already one of the
large flour mills in the southeast has
been closed down by the pure food de-
partment because of this, and will not
be permitted to resume operations un-
til the mill has been cleaned up and
thoroughly fumigated. On the oc-
casion of the inspection, Commissioners
Wallis says the moth had not only in
tested the chutes and other parts of
the machinery, had deposited its
eggs in the mill products, from which
the worm or caterpillar was found in

COURT TO PASS UPON
DRAINAGE LAW
Test Case Made of Petition for
the Drainage of Lands
Near Emmett.

The legality of the state drainage
law, passed by the legislature of 1915
will be passed upon by the state su,
preme court. The test case is that OF
the proposed drainage district in this
valley in the neighborhood of Bran
well and Falk. A petition, it will be
remembered, was signed and present
ed to the Canyon county district court
over a year ago praying for the or
ganization of district No. l, including
10000 acres of land in this valley.
Judge Bryan refused to pass upon the
petition until the law had been tested.
Concerning the case the Statesman
says:
Argument was heard Wednesday
by the court in the matter of the or
ganization of drainage district No.
in Canyon county. The case is
brought from the district court of
Canyon county. A number of land
owners filed a petition in the dis
trict court for the organization of
a drainage district in Canyon county
including ten thousand four hundred
acres. The matter was brought to the
state supreme court upon the ques-
tion of whether or not the provision
under which drainage district may
be organized is legal.
"The minutes of the house of rep
resentatives for the 1912 session do
not show that house bill No. 80, which
is tba hill providipo for tha craatino
of drainage districts, was read three
days in succession, or was passed un
der suspended rules. The question
before the court is whether mere sill
ence in the journal on formality
required of the legislature, but not
required by the constitution
to be placed on the journal, will in
a law which otherwise has
with all the requirements"

day, and the defendant was bound
over for trial at the next term of the

George Hoover, the young man for
whom, it is alleged, Mrs. Brainard
deserted her husband and children, is
held on similar charge. Hoover has
