WARNING ISSUED
TO THE DEALERS
OF POTATOES FROM
CALIFORNIA STRICTLY FOR
BIDDEN.
State Horticultural Inspector Sends
Out Letter to Dealers All Over
The State.

State Horticultural Inspector c. X.
Macy has addressed a letter to whole
sale produce dealers in this state warn
ing them against receiving potatoes
from California either directly of indi-
rectly because of the quarantine that
has been issued by this state against
the importation of the California spuds
coming from the potato tuber moth in
tested district. Importation of this pest
to Idaho will mean the loss of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to this
state, and Inspector Macy asks pro-
duce dealers to cooperate with his de-
partment to the fullest extent The
letter of the inspector is as follows:
Your attention is called to the fact
that a quarantine order was recently
placed against the state of California
prohibiting the shipment of potatoes
from taht state into Idaho.
The duty of enforcing the quaran-
tine devolves upon this office, and l
wish to notify you that it will be a vio-
lation of this order to receive any po-
tatoes from California either directly
or indirectly through commission
houses in Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake
or any other forwarding point If Cal
ifornia potatoes are shipped into the
state in violation of this order they
will be destroyed or deported at the
expense of the owner or consignee. !,
therefore, give you this notice of the
fact and trust that you will cooperate
in the enforcement of this quarantine,
by refusing to handle California pota
toes that may be offered you from any
source. This quarantine order was
placed in order to protect the farmers
of Idaho from the rayages of the po-
tato tuber moth which was caused i'm
mense damage to the potato crop in
California, and which would ,undoubt-
edly. be introduced into Idaho if ship
ments of potatoes from California were
permitted 1t is, therefore, to the in
crest of every citizen of Idaho to aid
N the enforcement of this order.
Very truly yours,
&c. K MACY.

IDAHO TEAM is STRONG
Grifiths Bunch Improved by Weeks
Rest-W. S. c. Will Miss Love at
Center in TOnight's Game.

Basket ball fans all over the north
west have their eyes on the Idaho-W
S. c. game which is to be staged at
Pullman tonight since it's outcome
may determine whether the University
of Idaho or Washington State College
is to meet the University of Washing
ors, in the conference championship
series. The Idaho team has had a
weeks rest since the last game with
the w. S. G. quintet while the latter
has gone through a hard series with
the Whitman five at Walla Walla and
is reported to be in a somewhat worm
out condition. Their big center, Ed
Love, has been out of the game since
his injury on the Idaho floor last Tues
day night and Crane or Glover, both
freshmen, will be matched against
Loux.
The Idaho team is in good condition
and has been reinforced by Gray who
was barred from several games on ac-
count of poor work in his classes. He
is freshman and has worked in sew
eral games in splendid form. He will
be used tonight in case substitution
should become necessary.
Scores of students from the uni
versity will see the game and large
of downtown enthus
lasts is expected to make the trip. The
special train is scheduled to leave here
at o'clock sharp.

All Claim Their Support.

The haste with which politicians of
both low brow" and "high-brow" type
have come to the support of measures
advocated by women voters encourag-
ed suffrage leaders today to predict
that not only all the four women can
didates with opposition will be nom
mated at the primaries, but in several
wards known opponents to woman suf
frage probably will find themselves
eliminated from the race. Miss Mar
ion H. Drake, stenographer-suff
who is candidate for the progressive
nomination in the first ward, is be-
lieved to be almost certain of obtain
ing the nomination over Karl N. Web
lie, her male opponent, who counts his
strength among the negro population
in the First. Only 1886 women voters
are registered in the First. but Miss
Drake will have the backing of in
fluential male progressives. If she
wins the nomination she will oppose
the notorious "Bathhouse John
Coughlin. democrat, in the April 7th
election.
