Boise, May 20. There Is a gener-
al belief that Captain Z. G. Davis,
assistant attorney general, win win
the suit he recently instituted against
the Hartman estate for the amount
due Idaho as an inheritance tax,
There are many other estates. includ-
ing the Weyerhauser estate which
comprise large timber holdings, and
others comrising large mining hold
ings interests. which would be sub
ject to the same tax. and II is esti-
mated that If this suit Is won for the
state, the amount 10 be realized from
decedent estates which have paid
nothing in the past will amount to
approximately one million dollars.
Since his connection with the attor-
ney generals Office. Captain Davis
has instituted and won some Of the
most notable cases In the annals Of
the States history and saved to the
taxpayers Of the State sum aggre-
eating several million dollars.
Early in Governor Alexander's ad-
ministration. friction between him

such proportions as to then indicate
that he would have to fight for re-
nomination, and 1t develops that the

SCHOOL BOARD CON-
TRACTS FOR BONDS

That bond buyers are eager to Sc
cure Idaho school district bonds, was
evidenced by the action of two Den
yer firms as soon as it became known
that the Montpelier school district
was about to issue bonds in the sum
of $14, 900 for the purpose of erect
ing a new school. These firms
Keeler Bros. and j. N. Wright & Co.
sent their representatives here last
week to investigate matters pertain
ing to the issuance of the bonds.
These men finding the proceedings
to be apparently legal, offered to
submit bids for the bonds in advance
of the election. After considering
the question and learning, that the
law permits boards in independent
school districts to sell bonds at either
public or private sales, the board.
last Thursday, decided to accept bids
from these firms, which was, in reali-
ty, public sale, as the representa-
tives of these firms openly bid for
the purchase of the bonds. Keeler
Bros. were the successful bidders,
offering to take the bonds at 81 per
cent with premium Of $165. The
bid of Wright & Co. was only few
Collars under this. The contract for
the sale of the bonds was accordingly
closed with the representative from
the above named firm. The sale, OF
course, is conditional upon the bond
proposition receiving the required
two-thirds majority at the election
to be held next Monday afternoon
The saving of time was the MAR
reason why the board decided t
contract for the bonds last week
Had they decided to wait until aftei
the election and advertise for bids
it would have delayed proceeding
at least six weeks, as the law require
that notice for bids shall be pub
lished four weeks. Had the boar
:, taken this course, bids could no
. have been opened before the 25th 0
June at the very earliest. Then tn
successful bidder would have re
:. quired at least ten days to invest
: gate the legality Of the proceeding
which would have made it alon
about July 9Th before a decisio
would have been announced. The
M another delay Of a week or ten das
would have been necessary for Il
or printing of the bonds and the deli
or cry of the money to the school boar
se which would have made it abol
RI July goth.
Under the contract made with u
q board last week, the attorneys 4
oh Keeler Bros. are now investigatir
w the legal phases Of the proposed
q sue and if everything is found TO
n all right. the firm agrees to have t
;e money in the hands of the treasur

During the last two weeks of school
much interest was manifested among
the classes in the high school over
the annual debates to determine
which class would win the cup which
was given by Judge Cough several
years ago. In the debates a year
ago the cup was won by the seniors.
The first debate this year was be-
tween the Sophomoresand Freshmen,
the question being Resolved, That
the U. s. Should Build up a Large
Merchant Marine" The Sophomore
debaters were Ernest Hall, Effie
Cook and Hawley Bagley, and the
Freshmen were represented by Kath-
leen Quayle, Winston Groo and
Naomi Ridd. Although both sides
of the question were presented in an
able manner, the judges decided in
favor Of the Sophomores.
The second debate was between
the Seniors and Juniors, the question
being Resolved, That the Consolida-
tion Of the Public Schools Under the
Unit Plan is Preferable to the Sys-
tenn that now Exists in Idaho" In
this debate the Seniors were repre-
sented by Louise Cherry, Maurine
Bolles and Sarah Bagley, and the
Juniors by Alan Richards, Marion
Lane and Viola Mulica. The judges
decided in favor of the Seniors.
The final debate was held on May
26 between the Sophomores and
Seniors on the question, Resolved,
That the Webb Law, which Prohibits
the Interstate Shipment of Liquor
has Benefited the U. S." The two
classes were represented by the same
debaters as in the previous contests
This debate was probably the mos
spirited one of all, and it required
some time for the Judges to reach ;
decision. Finally, by vote of 2 tC
the decision went to the Sopho
mores, which gave them the cup.
The gold pins, which have beel
given for several years by Mesdame
J..J. Taylor ane A. R. Lane to bes
girl and boy debaters, were this yea
awarded to Miss Louise Cherry AM
Hawley Bagley.
Each debate was attended by quit
a number of patrons of the school
which was pleasing to the student
as it showed that the parents wer
interested in this line of educations
work.

Russian Account of Fatal Ending of

PETROGRAD, Dec. a. = Russian
artillery destroyed Zeppelin airship
the night of the 5th, near the station
of Kalkun on the Libau Romin railway.
The dirigible made its appearance from
the direction of Novo Alexandrovsk,
passing over the Russian positions go
ing toward Dvinsk. It's position was re-
vealed by powerful searchlight and
Russian artillery opened fire on it. The
Zeppelin, however, then rose to high
er attitude and became lost in the
clouds.
Presently the airship reappeared over
Kalkun. It's motors had been stopped,
which is usually the indication that
bombs are to be dropped. At that time
the machine was directly over the rail
way station and the artillery began
Smelling it. One of the shells made a hit
and the aircraft became enveloped in

bodies of the German crew were extri
