CAPT. DAVIS LEAVES
ATTY. GEMS OFFICE.
tGopyEighLl

Boise, July Captain E. G..
Davis, assistant attorney general,
has rendered the attorney general
his resignation to take effect the 18th
of this month that he may resume
the practice of law. In losing the
services of Captain Davis, the Office
of the attorney general suffers dis
tinct loss. for during the period Of
his connection with this department
of the state government, ne has
made most enviable record for
himself and left the impress Of his
legal ability in the history of the
state. having initiated and won
number of the most notable cases
for the state in the annals of its his
tory, the consequences Of which has
been vast saving to the taxpayers.
In political circles, his resignation is
taken to mean that ne will be a can
didate for the next republican CUB
ernatorial nomination.
Not a little amusement has fol-
lowed the admission of Governor
Alexander in q recent land board
meeting that he made q mistake in
his veto Of the appropriation Of $35-
140.67 for the states part Of the ex-
pense of protecting its timber land
in the northern part of the state
from fires. and that If he had fully
understood the matter, he would moi
have vetoed the appropriation. This
sum was in the nature of deficien
cy, It being the states part of thu
expense incurred in protecting ths
timber il. the north in 1913-1914
and the timber companies having
paid their proportionate part Of thi
) expense. Through the protection
afforded, the state did not lose owe
one hundred dollars, whereas, !
would probably have lost in exces
of over one hundred thousand do
lars If the protection had not hav
been furnished. So general ha
been the demand for the protectio
OF the timber in the north since tn

CITY WILL FEEL LOSS
OF MAIL CONTRACT


The Examiner cannot help but feel
that the business men Of Montpelier
made a mistake when they let the
Star valley mail contract 80 to Coke
vile. II is a loss that Is sure to be
felt by the town. and now that the
route has been established from Coke

changed to Montpelier again very
soon.
The excuse cannot be made that
Cokeville quietly slipped one over on
Montpelier for 1t has been generally
known that some of the live wires"
in Cokeville have been planning for
some time to get the route changed
to that point. In fact last years bids
were submitted from Cokeyille. but
conditions were not right at that
time for making the change.
However. when Martin Winters
was notified a few months ago that
his contract had been cancelled and
new bids were asked for. several of
the enterprising men Of CokeviIle
got together and decided that ii was
worth something to their town TO
have that mail contract. They inn
mediateIy organized q transportation

J price much lower than any one per-
son could afford to do. The result
was they got the contract.
