More OF less rumors have been fly
ing around this section during the
past week or so relative to the feast
Dility of organizing new county
along the lines of the present school
districts 33 and 36, with jerome as
the objective county seat. Who was
primarily responsible for starting the
agitation Is not clear, but neverthe-
less II has gone SO far that a couple
Of meetings have been held by some
or our business men and others, at
which time the matter was talked
over to some extent, but no conclu-
sions were reached, mainly for the
reason that statistics were not at
hand to form any basis upon which
20 work.
Qhe question of valuation is a very
important one to consider, and while
it is probable that the section refer
red to has a valuation far above the
amount required under the laws of
the state, yet the practicability of the
plan is not thought feasible by some
We understand that steps are being
taken to obtain some tangible figures
upon which to base any calculations,
and until these have been obtained
nothing further can be done.
OF course we would all like to see
Jerome made a county seat, but there
Is something besides self pride in
this question, and unless it can be
shown that our taxes will not be ma
terially increased by the change II
will undoubtedly meet decided oppo
sition.
In the meantime any new develop
ments that arise will be given pub
licity, as We do not feel that it is tn,
desire of anyone to keep the taxpay
ers ignorant of what is going on.

The Man from Idaho.

That some of the Chicago needy
were made glad by having Idaho
Spuds for their Christmas dinner is
evidenced by the following which ap-

DeFoe Fenton. of Jerome:

Behind the Times.

The Boise papers speak of an in
novation in the thawing out of froz-
en- water pipes by the use of electric
ity. which has just been put into
practice in that supposed up-to-date
city. Why, bless your souls, gentle
men, you are away behind the times,
MS this custom of thawing out frozen
pipes buried in the ground has been
in practice in Jerome for several
years by our plumber, Mr.. LeMay
The application of electricity to froz-
en- pipes was inaugurated here al
most from the first, and has proven
not only a speedy remedy. but a
very economical one for the parties
affected. A connection is made with
the pipes in a residence or block and
another connection made outside
which conducts the electricity along
the pipes. causing them to thaw on
very rapidly, thereby doing away
with the necessity of digging up tho
pipes. Boise plumbers might ge
some pointers by coming down to
real live town and learn the way W.
do things here.

Lands Good Position.

The many friends in this locality
of Mrs. w. ]. Dodge, will be interest
ed in the following which we take
from the Gooding Leader
The many friends of Mrs. Louise
NJ. Dodge, who retires from the Of
fee of county superintendent next
month, will be pleased to know that
she Immediately goes to a more
lucrative position. She recently was
offered the principalship of the
Grangeville High School, the present
principal having been elected county
superintendent, and, after taking the
matter under advisement, she has sig
nified her acceptance. The salary
is s133 per month, just $50 more
than she is receiving as county sup
erintendent.
Mrs. Dodge is highly qualified fo
the position. being a university grad
uate. with a normal school training
and many years experience as tea
cher and school principal. Will
her friends in Gooding county vii
rejoice in this recognition of he
worth, all will regret her departur
from the community. However, sh
will return at the conclusion. of he
term as all of her interests are her
and il is not her intention to take Il
a permanent residence elsewhere.

Not only the bar of the county,

Jones for Game Warden.


Roy Jones of Gooding county is to
be the next game warden. No such
announcement has been made by Gov.
Elect Alexander, but all indications
point to that conclusion. Some time
ago Mr.. Alexander gave out a state
ment to the effect that E. F. Walton,
who had been prominently mentioned
for the position, was not his choice.
1t has been suspected for some time
that the appointment would come
from the east end of the state and
the report that Mr.. Jones is to be
named carries some weight on that
account.
Well acquainted with the work of
the department through his associa-
ton as chief deputy under Game
Warden Stephens, Mr.. Jones is pre-
pared for the place. He has served as
sheriff and deputy in his county in
the past and was a candidate for the
office of United States marshal a
the expiration of the term of S. l.
Hodgin. He has been active In Dem
ocratic councils for some time and /
is considered that his appointment
will be greatly approved by the party
With the appointment OF Mr.. Jone
It is understood that William Thorp
will be the chief deputy. Mr.. Thorp
! was at one time sheriff of Canyo
r county.

PLEADS FOR BIRDS
THAT DESTROY PEST

plea for the protection Of birds
that destroy the cotton boil weevil in
the South has just been sent out by the
Department of Agriculture. OF all the
birds known as natural enemies Of the
boil weevil, orioles, nighthawks, or bull
bats, and swallows are the most i'm
portant, the department declares
Insect specialists of the Bureau Of
Entomology have made extensive in
vestigations of the subject, and they
find that sixty varieties of birds feed
on the boil weevils.
The nighthawk, of bull bat catches
the weeyils on the wing. as do the
different varieties of swallows.
From the standpoint of the farmer
are among the most useful birds. Es-
pecially designed by nature to capture
insects in midair. their powers of flight
and endurance are uneXcelled, and in
their own field they have no competi-
tors. Their peculiar value to the cotton
grower consists in the fact that. like
the night hawk, they capture boil
weeviIs when flying over the fields,
which no other birds do. F1ycatcfers
snap up the weevils near trees and
shrubbery. Wrens hunt them out when
concealed under bark or rubbish.
Blackbirds catch them on the ground,
as do the kildeer. titlark. meadow lark.
them on the bolls. But il is the pecu-
liar function of swallows to catch the
weevils as they are making long flights.
leaving the cotton fields in search OF
hiding places in which to winter. or
entering them to continue their work OF
devastation.
Martins are not at all fastidious about
the outward appearance of their dT ell
ings and a large gourd suspended from
the top OF a dead tree or a pole, or
any kind of a weather-tight box or
barrel, however crude, when divided i-.to
compartments, answers their needs as
well as the most costly and ornamental
house. They will not build close to
the ground. having a wholesome fear of
cats and other invaders; hence the
houses should be elevated from the
ground not less than fifteen feet.
Drinking water is essential for martins
and all other swallows. and the pres
ence OF a small pond. lake. or river
greatly increases the chances for col
onization.

Arguments will be heard next week
in the case brought by the Somerset,

and Rockville Railway Company before
the Interstate Commerce Commission, in
protest against an increase of cents
in the fare from points In the District
to Somerset.
The brief Of the complainants. which
attacks the increase, was filed yester-
day. II makes an attack on the con-
stitutionality of the Maryland law fix
ing trolley rates by zones. The COM
plainants assert that the company has
failed to establish the reasonableness of
the increased rate. which. they declare.
will retard the growth of Somerset by
compelling its residents to pay a rate
higher than is paid by other commuters.
