that things were done right. Mr..
Trego responded by getting chair
and sitting down by the clerk.
After watching and listening for
a couple of hours he announced that
he would probably want to protest the
payment of some bills and asked
when they preferred that protest
should be entered. 1t was agreed
that this should be done on Tuesday
morning, but Interruptions in the al
lowance of bills delayed it until near
time for adjournment when this was
brought up.
The county attorney was called In
and court house people assembled to
take note of events. The protest was
laid by verbal statement against the
following.
Deputy assessors j. w. Begun, j.
S. Burdell and D. ]. MurdOck, as to
salary and expenses for the past
quarter the livery and other expense
bills of Assessor Hyrum Grimmett,
the expenses of County Attorney
James E. Good, the wages of Mrs.
Fannie R. Kain as deputy superin-
tendent and for her livery and other
expenses as probation officer, repre-
sented by her onw bill; the expenses
of County Sup rintendent Alice
Beach; the expenses of Commission
ers James Christensen and T. P. Fack-
rell and County Surveyor A. e.
Christensen.
Reference was made to the revised
statutes of Idaho at page 155, Sec
tion 2115, 1913 session laws, ap-
proved March 4th, 1913, requiring
that all county officers and deputies
expense bills for their expenses while
away from home on county business
shall be a legal charge against the
county, provided they file thir bills
with the county clerk, accompanied
by proper receipts or vouchers, at the
end of the month in which such ex-
penses are incurred, and make affi-
davit to their being correct and true.
Mr.. Trego stated that this law had
been in ecect for thirteen months anu
had not been observed in filing any
of the bills.
After arguments upon the matter
the county attorney advised the board
to disregard that part of the statutes
and issue the warrants to pay every
thing that was in their judgment a
proper charge against the county.
A motion was made to adjourn.
Mr.. Trego stated that he had more
authorities to offer applying to GER
tain classes of bills in the protested
list to which section 2115 did not
apply and it was agreed that he
should submit it in writing Wednes-
Iday, which was done.

to $3.50.
April IA, all Present

and asked that certain piece of road
be closed and new road opened as
per petition headed by George Nc
Clean be attended to as promptly as
possible if allowed as he wanted to
fix his fenses and crops accordingly.
Claude Going, of Moreland, asked
that big dyke and ditch on his land
which was cut by the road overseer to
drain the road, be repaired by the
county. His fill was there before the
road was laid out and the winter
froshets from the desert had to be
drawn off that way. The ditch never
had any drain pipe under it.
The bill of James E. Good, county
attorney for expenses of trip to
Boise, in the case of Boutwell, vs..
Bingham county, for $63.65 was at
tackled by Commissioner Kennedy on
the ground that it was twice as much
as it cost other people for such a
trip. Mr.. Fackrell explained that
those who go to Boise on $50 or $35
are simple livers and that perhaps the
county attorney was not so simple
in his expenses. The bill had been
assigned to the Standrod Bank and
) was o. KID by Commissioner James
Christensen. When asked what the
3 arrangement was when It was o. KID,
he replied that there was no arrange
! ment, that Mr.. Good stated that he
3 needed the money. There were no
! vouchers attached and Mr.. Good was
3 called in and asked as to that. He
t said he had the vouchers and would
a very gladly file them.
3 Ralph Adair appeared before the
t board on behalf of two elderly widows
8 both in very hard circumstances and
I i'll and he asked to have their taxes
g cancelled as they were unable to pay.

was given a cancellation of $21.75 on
his June payment.
Tony Parson was given credit on
his June taxes for some overpaid taxes
of last fall.
Louis Felt appeared before the
board to say that the Porterville pre-
cinct is so long it has been unsatis-
factory to have the voting place at
either place where elections have
been held, and Mr.. Kennedy suggest
ed joining the upper end of the pre-
cinct to Firth and Mr. Felt advised
tnat this would probably be salts
factory arrangement. The matter
will be considered at the July meet
ing when all precinct boundaries are
reviewed

Mr.. Kennedy and Fackrell reading
each bill and passing them on to
Chairman Christensen, who signed
them.

the poison had not asked for any

I1913 for $11.95 was presented to the
board for the second time and it wa'
held up for more information.

$25 for expert testimony in the Bat
way case was held up pending ad
vice of the district Judge as to wha
1.-THE agreement was at the time o
subpoena. DR.. Davis is the count,
physician, but he was called as al
expert to give testimony in tria
in the district court. DR.. Mitchell
bill for the same was not questioned
as he was not in the service of tn
county.
Some of the expense bills that ha'
receipts attached, were scanned to Sc
liz the receipt amounted to the tota
of the claim. Mr.. Fackrell asked tn
: editor of the Republican what bill
: was he had referred to last week 4
an editorial when he charged that tn
board had allowed bill for abou
$50 more than there were receipt
for and he looked through a bale Q
bills and produced 1t, there bein
5 $3O.77 Of 1t not accounted for but
4 warrant had been issued.

The bill of J. w. Begun for ex~
penses while assessing was $2.05 less
than the total of his bills. Mr.. Ken
nedy favored correcting his bill TO
cover his actual expense as shown by
the receipts. Mr.. Christensen said to
let it go so long as it was that way:
if it was the other way Trego would
make blow about it.
A representative of F. T. Stannard
and company, of Salt Lake city, was
selling road graders. Kennedy and
Christensen did not want any m2-
chinery, Du. Fackrell SAID he wanted
big grader 1t was suggested that
Fackrell take both of the county
graders and use them for his work.
He submitted illustrations and prices
of graders and concrete mixers.
Mr.. Kennedy discovered that some
thing that had been regarded as a
bill for John Begun for $4,000 was
his report and not a bill, and it
was held out so that no warrant was
issued on the report.

of Pingree, represented petitioners
for some new road in the Rich neigh
borhood. The road was opened for
one mile and Mr., Graham was allow
ed $40 as part of the cost of the fence
where he donates the land for the
road.

Evening Courier and William Dooley
representing the Blackfoot Optimist,
were invited to come before the board
relative to alterations in their bills
and matters were adjusted reducing
the bills.
George F. Gagon, Lewis Robbins
and Mr.. Stewart arranged for op n
ing road west of Moreland and Mr..
Gagon furnished the land for road,
builds his own fence and receives
$175.OO from the county.
]. H. Stoneman, the bee inspector
asked the board to consider and de-
eide about making an appropriation
for inspection to protect against the
spread of disease among bees. They
referred him to the assessor to find
out how much revenue the county
receives from taxes on bees and give
them some time to study the subject
Mr.. R. E. Smith, of the Victor Safe
and Lock company exhibited illustra
tions of safes, vaults and fire resist
ing cabinets. The board was inter
ested in getting something for a re-
pository for the books of the county
treasurer and kept some of the litera'
ture for study.
When the board convened on Mon
day for their first session there was
some good-natured comment about
Byrd Trego being on hand and the
chairman invited him to take a seal
at the table and watch them and see

The big land drawing at Aberdeen
was postponed from Wednesday un-

attending to business matters.
There were about two hundred peo-

much energy to the Aberdeen country.

cials familiar with the messages that
have been passing between Rear Ad-
miral Mayo, Charge O'Shaughnessy
and the Washington government, was
described as follows:
Assistant Paymaster Charles c..
Copp and boatload of marines land
ed at Tampica last Thursday to OBJ
tain supplies. They were arrested,
but later discharged. In accordance
with regulations in all navies of the
world, Rear Admiral Hayo, on con-
sidering that an unwarranted arrest
had been made and that the uniform
of the American navy had been dis
regarded, demanded reparation in the
form of salute of twenty-one guns.
The American flag, while not taken
ashore, was flying at the stern of the
Whaleboat and all the marines were
in uniform. Rear Admiral Mayo al
lowed the Huerta commander until
6 O'Clock that evening to fire salute
but later extended the time in order
to afford the local commanded an
opportunity to communicate with his
superior officers in Mexico City. A
statement Of apology was issued in
Mexico City by General Huerta and
the local officer who arrested the ma
rines was order punished. This did
not satisfy the United States govern
ment and the salute was insisted on
General Huerta himself at no time
agreed to comply, but and under Sec
retary in the Mexican foreign office
did inquire of Charge O'Shaughnessy
if salute fired to the gunboat Dol
phin and responded to by the Ameri-
can ship would be acceptable. This
was emphatically rejected and word
was sent that nothing short of a pub
lie salute to the American flag would
be satisfactory.
Hands q Bunch
Senator Works, republican, issued
statement saying: Hundreds ot
American citizens have been slaught
cred, wives and daughters outraged
property destroyed, and the govern
ment has not raised a hand for theil
protection. But because a few blue
Jackets from one of our ships, who
had much better been on shipboard
are arrested in city engaged in civi
strife, and Huerta refuses to salute
our flag, we are to go to war, or bacl
down, and make ourselves ridicu
lous."
Daniels ordered the crusier Cleve
land, at San Francisco, to steam tt
Mazatlan Immediately. The cruise
Chattanooga is expected to follow
in two weeks. No developments a
to army orders. 1t was said the trool
movements were not discussed at tn
presidents conference with congress
men. Representative Mondell, re
publican, in the house, assailed tn
administration action. He asserte,
the president is using the Atlanti
feet to enforce mandates of person
al prejudice against a man who hap
pens to be at the head of the Mex
can republic.
The navy department announced
naval demonstration has been order
ed on the Pacific coast of Mexico
and the crusier Pittsburg, transpor
Buffalo and cruisers Maryland, Cleve
