one-fourth the amount expended
by his Office. This inexcusabls
expenditure of the peoples money
is due largely to the fact that the
present prosecuting attorney en-
ploys two deputies whose salaries
are paid presumably out of the
county treasury, and for whom
the taxpayers are compelled to
maintain Offices and Office equip
ment There is absolutely no
provision in the Idaho Statutes
for the employment of deputy
prosecutors, and the law does not
contemplate such drafts on the
peoples money. The criminal
business Of Ada county is by no
means extensive. Our county is a
settled community of law-abiding
people and becoming more 30 every
year, and the expenses of the
county attorneys Office should be
decreasing instead Of increasing
yearly. The difference in the
maintenance of the offices of coun-
ty attorney in Ada and Canyon
counties is sufficient to maintain
the Ada county office alone. Cam
yon county is considerable larger
than Ada county and there is but
little difference in their popula-

fully up to the average. The por-
tons referred to had ample rainfall
and blessed with conditions that put
them into a more enviable condition
than the districts first referred to.
Fortunately in most places where lack
OF precipitation prevented harvesting
a good crop this year, this is the
first Of number, of years that 1t
has happened, and the farmers are
In position to withstand a partial
failure. Throughout all of Manitoba,
Central Saskatchewan and the largest
portion OF Alberta conditions are
good. The raising Of cattle, sheep and
hogs is now playing an important
part in the success of the West
ern Canada Farmer. From these,
and the product of the dairy and
the Dreaming, he is placing himself
in an excellent financial position. 1t
Is expected that during 1915 the acre
age sown to grains of all kinds will be
largely in excess of all previous years.
In the districts that had not the crop
that others had, there is no disheart-
edness, but embracing the opportunity
to get their land ready in good time,
and pursuing more definite methods
