Among the best things we had the
privilege of listening to, were
two lectures, one given by Pres
ident Black of the Lewiston State
Normal on "The Capitalization
of Rural Schools" and Professor
Hulme Of the state university, on
Municipal Art" On Wednesday
evening we attended a musical
given at Lewiston Hall and on
Thursday evening an informal
reception to the home of Mrs. J.
p. Yollmer. Mrs. J. P. Vollmer of
Lewiston is now our state pres
ident.
Space will not permit us to say
all the lovely things we would like
to of Lewiston and her hospitable
people One treat given US by the
Lewiston citizens was an auto
trip through the orchard tracts
which they told US consists Of
5000 acres. We stopped at the
home of one rancher to see the
different yarities of apples. Here
we saw big beautiful apples of
every kind and good to the taste,
for we sampled them. There were
rows upon rows Of vines loaded
with immense punches of luscious
grapes both the Tokay and the
royal purple; tall vine like trees
laden with ripe red tomatoes, a
field of watermelons, the melons
dead ripe, bursted open and going
TO waste. The owner told us,
however, that his favorite and
most profitable crop was the head
lettuce, and he plans on going
into it extensively. Lewiston peo-
pie take great pride in their
homes, lawns, and their city in
general. Autumn there is June
time as we'll, for beautiful roses
Of all sizes and colors were
blooming in profusion.
Much that we saw n the way OF
Improvements could be used to
advantage here in our own little
city. Excuse us for appearing tc
be conceited, but no where did we
see any place that could be made
as beautiful as our own st
Maries if ever we awaken to ouI
opportunities
In closing 1 would say it is wei
worth any woman's time to visiI
such a meeting as we have just
attended; to meet the bright cap
able women from all over ouI
state, and see the great work they
are doing. Nearly all clubs are
working along entirely different
| lines from what they once did
! They are taking up the live issues
Of the day, civic improvement
health and all things that tenC
toward making a clean, whole
some community and good citi-
zenship.

Hon. Moses Alexander. the
democratic nominee for COVER

day and will address the people
that evening.
He is making a thorough cam
paign Of the state, devoting most
of his time TO state issues, and
no man in the state is better
qualified to talk upon this sub

put the matter before the people
in better shape.
Every taxpayer in Idaho knows
that he is carrying a grevious
burden, but few realize that the
two years administration of John
NJ. Haines is costing S4,OOO,OOO.
After a thorough investigation
of state revenues and expenses
Mr.. Alexander, at the opening of
his campaign, mace this state

holder:
What does it cost the people
Of Idaho to run their state gov
crnment for two years?
"The state of idaho contains
$4,000 about the same
as the city of Los Angeles. Now
what do you think it costs to
govern these $4,000 people for
two years? l asked this question
and no one could answer.
"Then l began to dig. I inves-
tigated and now / make this
statement to you: It is costing
the people of Idaho for the two
years of the Haines administra-
ton $4,OOO,OOO to run their state
government. 1t is costing S2,-
100000 this year."

WaggOner Opposed To
S Mill School Tax

Charles Waggoner, the demo-
cratic nominee for commissioner
from the third district, is meeting
the voters.
Mr.. Waggoner should have a
warm place in the feelings of the
people Of ST. Maries. He is and
has been for a number of years
member of the school board
Of his home district and
has taken a great interest in
school matters and has made il
"A point to attend the meetings OF
county school directors.
Our readers will remember that
at that meeting a year ago last
spring County Superintendent
Egbers and the directors from
Occur d'Alene attempted to have a
resolution passed recommending
that the special levy for county
school purposes should be fixed al

AS you all know, the purpose. OF
this was to have the outside COM

The resolution had been pre-
pared and was supported by Mr.
Egbers, and was about to be slip
ped quietly through when Mr.
Waggoner. quick to see its i'm
port, sprang to his feet in oppos-
iiion. By a hard fight he and Mr.
Buck and Mr.. Davis of this cit,
succeeded in staying off actor
until noon.
During the noon recess Mr.
Waggoner secured figures which
proved that if the 5 mill levy wa:
made il would mean the giving o
eighty thousand dollars to Coeu

people in the form of direct
taxes. Part of it comes from
special funds. All of it is spent
on the state and her Institutions.
Mr.. Alexander insists that
much Of it goes for needless SAL
aries and frills.
He says that the state of Idaho
has gone mad in levying taxes,
that we have been led to believe
that the higher the taxes the
more prosperity we have.
He claims that taxes for state
purposes are higher under the
Haines administration than ever
b 1fore under statehood and that
Sshe same rapid growth in tax
is noted in the counties and mu-
inequalities.
Mr.. Alexander lays the real
blame for these conditions at the
door of the voters, and tells them
that every time their taxes have
been made higher they have en-
dorsed the increase at the polls.

Eagle Lodge
Improves Hall

st. Maries Aerie 2Of2 OF the
1raternal Order of Eagles have
practically finished the improve
ments which they have been max
ing on their hall here and now

in The city. A few weeks ago the
lodge secured a lease on the Skel-
ION and Warren hall and since
that time has been busy refur~
riahing and fitting it up with The
Intention of making it a perna-
rent home for the order.
2 he hall has been newly pa
pered and painted, a lavatory

lockers installed for paraphe-
MALTA and for wraps and a new
hardwood floor put in, making it
one of the finest halls in the city
for dances.
That is will be popular for that
purpose is shown by the fact that
it has already been rented to the

resolution was defeated.
This year superintendent Eg-
hers and the school directors
from Occur d'Alene attempted the
same thing again. Mr.. Waggoner
was sick in bed at the time and
was unable to attend the meeting
and in spite of a hard fight by the
ST. Maries delegation, the resolu-
ton was passed. The county
commissioners made the levy 3
mills and that is a part of the i6
mills state and county taxes
which you will have to pay this
fall.
By the making of the five mill
school levy Occur d'Alene has
been able to cut down its special
school levy so that although the
levy for state and county pur-
poses is six mills higher than it
was year ago, the entire tax of
Coeur d'Alene is less this year
than last.

NlthouSH merely private clJ-
izen and not in Washington, Gov
crnor Hawley interested himself
in the matter of the claims Of the
Marble Greek settlers and used
his influence with the commits
sioners of the general land Office
and Secretary of the Interior Lane
tc secure their consent to the
settlement which was made by
which the settlers secured their
lands and the state took other
lands in lieu, as is shown by the
following letters now on file in
Washington.
Boise, Idaho, Dec. 30, 1913.
Hon. Franklin X. Lane, Secreta-
ny of the Interior, Washington,
ID. c..
Dear Sir: A dispute arose
some seven or eight years ago be-
TWEEN the state of Idaho and set
tiers who are claiming the right
to something over. 1000 acres OF
land in the Marble Greek section
in this state. This dispute arose
in the first instance by reason of
neglect of the local land officers,
or of some Of the subordinate Of
ilcers of the department. / took
action to investigate this matter
before assuming the Office Of
governor, and while / was in that
Office as well, and became thor
oughly satisfied that a great in
justice would be done these set
tiers if the state acquired title to
the lands. About six years ago a
legislative inquiry was had and
The abandonment of the claims
OF the state was recommended by
the legislature, and would have
been carried out had it not been
for legal questions arising which
nullified the legislatures wishes.
This matter has ben before the
Department for years. Your pre-
decessor, Mr.. Fisher, at one time,
as he informed me, had become
satisfied of the correctness of the
settlers position, but in finally
passing upon the matter, modi-
fed his views and sustained the
contention of the state. The
platter is still pending in your
department.
We have a peculiar condition
of affairs in relation to these
lands. The present state officers,
as we'll as their predecessors, be-
iieve that the settlers are right
and that the state in enforcing
its claims to the land is doing an
injustice to these settlers, but
they cannot abandon the states
claims. 1t has been suggested
inat it might be possible for the
state to acquire other lands in
lieu of these and permit the set
Tiers to retain their possession
and make their final proof. With
out having looked into this mat
Ter with any thoroughness as a
legal proposition, I am of the
opinion that it would probably
require special act of congress
in order to enable this to be done.
l feel warranted in imposing
my views on the subject upon you
on account Of the keen interest I
have in the matter both as a cit
izen and as an ex-oflicer who
tried to secure an adjustment OF
the difficulties. If anything can
be done to settle this difference
and protect the settlers in pos
session of the lands that they
have settled or so many years
ago, it would be very satisfactory
TO a large majority of the people
Of the state, and respectfully
urge that you give the matter
the consideration its importance
deserves.
