James II. Boutwell, appeared before
the trustees in behalf OF FinIeyson.
who, ne declared, proposed 10 run
just as close 10 the wind in selling
liquor as the law would allow and
ness that could be made under the
regulations enacted and enforced by
order Of the trustees. He spoke
frankly of the liquor situation. say
ing that three saloons could as well
be controlled as two. and at the same
time the town Golfers would be en-
riched TO the extent OF $500 a year
when the money is needed in the
present high cost OF property tax
alton. Boutwell, attacked the posi-
ton Of Attorney Heist. who had ap-
peared before the board in behalf Of
George Brown. against whom The
board had heard complaint Heist
contended thas Brown should be
heard and that specific charges
should be made and vague reports
disregarded in considering his appii-
cation. Accordingly Brown was sent
for. L was soon seen that 10 grant

cense for Finleysan also and that was
the outcome when Boutwell, disavow-
ed any hostility 20 the Granting of a

times and it has spread ali over his
since he has won his
fight.
There was a delegation of taxpay-
ers present in the meeting TO ascer-
tain the reason if they could why
taxes are high. The trustees were
in the midst of passing the monthly
bills and numbers Of the items were
cut and disallowed with a heavy hand.
The visitors retired with an express
sion Of satisfaction written on their
faces.

WORTH 4 FORTUNE
SILVER cRAYS AND BLACKS ARE
VALUABLE ENOUGH TO RAN
SOM A KING.

Out ct the Book ranch Sam Rogers.
d Spanish sheephercer, is The owner OF
two foxes, one a Silver Gray ana the
other Red and White which he
thinks will bring him fortune.
Sometimes these little animals sell
as high as three thousand dollars,
that is when they are pure blooded
The Rogers specimens are slightly
crossed but still very valuable. He
has already been offered $500 for one
of them Both are females OF the
species-which are more valuable
than the males.
Two pure Silver Gray foxes, male
and a female, have fetched the enor-
nous price Of twenty thousand dol
lars, while a single female is worth
more than half that sum. Still more
valuable is the black fox.
While the best specimens Of these
rare animals are found in the frozen
north there are some Of them in these
parts.
Last winter man up in the noun
tains back OF Ketchum captured
Silver Gray whose pelt brought him
s4o0.
Not knowing what ne had, Rogers
last year captured and killed pure

sIMPL!FiED SPELLING is
ADOPTED FOR THIS STATE.
State Teachers Association FsVors
Plan by Which Extra Letters VIII
Be Dropped.

Boise. Jan. PIT is simplified spell
ing from now on for Idaho. As re-
suit Of The stirring address on the sub
ject The Idaho State Teachers assoc
iation unanimously passed a resolu-
ton recommending the reform meth
Cd Of spelling. This resolution is in
keeping with that passed by the In
land Empire Teachers Association
which includes all the states OF the
northwest, and by the State of Wash
ington Teachers association.
Mr. Foster characterized the teach
ing of the present method of spelling
a great waste of the child's time, and
said that ne believed it the teachers
duty 20 break away from tradition
and teach spelling which was the
truth to the child's mind. and not
some other way just because some
man in a book made it some sother
way. years age.
The west, Mr.. Foster said. was
taking The lead in this reform. and
that the east would follow. He said:
Some persons are so constituted
that an unaccustoned spelling offends
them. That IS mere emotion. others
are so constituted that an unreason-
able spelling ofends them. That is
the protest Of reason Simplified spell
ing rests on reason. economy, author
ity. Reason dictates that what we
write or print should represent only
and exactly what we hear or speak.
Economy requires Us to reject useless
letters. The teaching. learning, rit-
ing and printing OF useless letters
cost untold money and time. Auth
fc
in the sanctions Of dictionaries, in
the tru editions Of standard riters,
in the advice Of the learned, and in
dictates OF common sense. Changes
have been continuous in English
smelling. They have been conscious
changes, made by the human hand
and wil. Changes adopted become
usage. Reasonable changes become
reasonable usage.
The principal Of siInplified spell
ing is best promoted by the practice
one may begin by using the simpler
and more reasonable OF any two au-
thorized forms. for example, pro-
gram, catlog. rime, tho eropt, stopr
blest. etc"
Resolutions We're adopted By the
ASSOCIATION as follows.
THAT the Boise teachers. the
school children OF The Commercial
club be thanked for their many
courtesies: that the two visiting
speakers. DR.. Foster ana Superinten-
dent Francis be given an expression
of appreciation; that the simpliaed
spelling as outlined by the spelling
board be accepted: that medical in
spection be followed in the schools;
that worldwide peace be encourae ed;
that the state board be supported in
its efforts of unifying the schools Of
the state. and that the neighbo ing
state of Utah be given an expression
of sympathy in the loss Of its able
worker. Superintendent Nelson.
