Once more a good number of the people of Power
county are going to have an opportunity to vote on the
question of good roads. According to a notice appearing
in this issue of the Press an election will be held on the
district shall be created, the said district to include all
that portion of the county on the west side or Snake river
and all that portion on the east side of the river which will
be traversed by the state highway. If we have a correct
understanding Of the law the question need only be carried
by a majority, and, as this territory gave a majority at
the bond election held in January, there seems little ques-
tion but that it will carry. Everybody seems to agree that
there is dire necessity for road Improvement, but there
was a very decided sentiment against bonding the county
when the question was up for the approval OF the people
so the next best thing is to allow those people who want
TO improve their road conditions in this way to do so by the
creation of a district that will burden itself only.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1914-05-14

On next Wednesday the people of Power county will
have an opportunity to express themselves by vote as to
whether or not the county shall be wet or dry-whether
saloons shall continue to operate or shall be forever pro-
hibted. We say forever because it seems evident from
the trend Of sentiment that this is about the last OPP
portunity that will ever be offered to vote upon this ques-
tion by county. Statewide prohibition seems TO be in
the air, and it is almost a certainty that the next session
of the legislature, no matter what its political complexion
might be, will submit to the people a constitutional amend
ment that will enable the adoption of the statewide method
of handling the liquor question. Every citizen of the
county should cast a vote in accordance with the views en-
tertained upon the subject, or forever hold their peace.
The man who will not take the time to go and vote has
no right to complain if the result of the election is con-
trary to his views.

For once we can almost agree with Colonel Roose-
welt. His opinion with regard to exempting our ships
that are engaged in coastwise traffic from the payment of
tolls, we can readily approve, but are inclined to think
that his manner of expressing that opinion will not meet
with a very hearty response from the American people.
The president of our country is entitled to a certain amout
of respect from all people. And then, too, the big 81"
crops out rather too frequently.

Convict's Clever Forgeries.
PEN AND INK BANK NOTES MADE PASS A
r

That Is. I have reason to und4rI
stand, the view taken in official quarI
ters, and there does not appear to ID
any likelihood of prosecutions.
The notes of several banks wer@
initiated. There was a SIS note of th}
Union Bank and 81 notes of th}
Royal National North of Scotland and
the Town and County banks. Th}
mystery Of how the convicts could gel
either the opportunity or the mai
terials to make such notes is easily
solved. None of these counterfeit
notes are printed or engraved; thel
are just clever pieces of penmanshiH
and nothing more. SO fun cruditie|
and errors that no one would regard
them as serious attempts at imitatibd
unless they were crumpled and 81
soiled that the design was half hid
den. TO obtain the paper, which Is o1
the variety in which butter is wrap
ped. and Is used inside the prisp1
walls, presents no difficulty. AS fo1
pens and ordinary ink, every convic
can obtain them. SCOT, which any com
vict working near the kitchens or 9TH
er fires could easily get, would provid|
a deep black, and it is thought TIL
designer of these notes used his owl
blood for such parts of the notes al
became dirty red in use. q
Moreover, the convicts Of Peterheai
have a channel through which, 1t Il
well known, they communicate witt
the outside world. A number of then
are engaged in building breakwH|
ter. and on this work come In conf
tact with many free laborers, q
workmen who are not convicts. n
has been found over and over agait
that some Of these free laborers glv|
the convicts tobacco to eheW-T1|
course smoking is too easy OF deteci
tion-and it is now certain that thes|
laborers nave been the channi
throueb which the counterfeit note
have reached the outside world.
There was discovered a letter wri1
rem by a. convict on a page torn IRON
a hy,nnbook. in which he promises.

turn. There was also found iettd

that he only wanted the note as
curiosity. and this may Wen nav

Teaching People
To Save Money

At a recent meeting of bank
ers one of the speakers told
them that it was the duty of
the banks and trust companies
to advertise in the newspapers.
Aside from the fact that 1t
would increase their business
it was a service they owed the
public.
In some of the cities the
financial institutions have en-
barked on cooperative cam
paigns, the object of which is
to teach the people the uses of
these institutions and what
they do for the public.
Not one woman in a hun
dred could tell you off hand
just wherein the functions of
a bank differ from those of a
trust company.
Yet there are many features
about a trust company's SER
vice for which the woman Of
average means would be glad
to pay.
Campaigns in the news
papers to induce people to
save money have been carried
on with great success in this
city.
The uses of advertising are
as varied as the hues Of the
spectrum.-Adv.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1914-01-16

I have been able to establish two
facts; first, that the existence here of
forged banknoteS made in the neigh
boring prison is not quite so serious
matter as at first appeared, and sec
ondly that the discovery that such
notes were in existence did not alto
gether surprise the people of Peter
head.
In the first place the people here
take a good deal of interest in the men
of the grim granite prison which
frowns at them across the bay In
many homes in Peterhead you will be
shown with some pride little specimens
Of convicts' skill and ingenuity-models
in soap or clever bits of carving. These
reach the outside world through chan
nels that it is unnecessary to indicate
closely, and, as / have said, they at
tract a good deal of interest. Over
a year ago these prison relics took a
new form. A man in the town was
showing his friends, quite openly,
copy of 81 bank note which, he said,
had been made by one of the convicts.
Those who saw it were interested, but
did not dream that any such counter
felt would be taken seriously, for 1t
was crude in color and design, and
only noteworthy as a clever piece of
penmanship and Of memory, for the
man could not have had genuine
note before him when making the
copy. More of these copies began to
get about the town, and were shown
as prison curiosities. At least one
changed hands for money, but only
few coppers were paid for it, and 1t
was obvious that no one regarded
them as anything but crude relics OF
prison life.
Thus, this rather dangerous form or
curio hunting went on till about a
fortnight age, when local draper ana
a "sixpenny halfpenny bazaar each
found one of these notes were among
the takings. In both cases the notes
were taken in the busy moments of
Saturday night shopping in bad
light. English readers must remem-
Der that the Scottish bank note has
not the clean crispness of the Bank ot
England "fiver"; 1t remains in eirca-
lation much longer, and gets crumpled
and dirty in passing from hand TO
hand. Often it looks only like dirty
piece of paper, and 1t is rot difficult
to believe that one of these prison
made copies, when sufficiently dirty,
might easily pass into circulation by
accident.
