EXCHANGES HIS RANCH
FOR SALT LAKE PROPERTY
! /. B. Leverich Takes Salt Lake Business Block
IN Payment for His 7OO-ace Ranch About
$4,000 Involved In the Deal.

Last Friday L. B. Leverich closed
the deal for the exchange Of his
ranch at Georgetown for piece Of
Salt Lake business property. owned
by Frank T. and Don C. Roberts.
The property acquired by Mr., Lever
ich il located at 10 South Main
Street. It has q frontage OF only lis
feet On Main street, but is 1876 deep.
No money exchanged hands but the
deal represents a transaction (
about $40. 900, which makes the val
ne of the Salt Lake property approx
imately $4,000 a front foot.
Since retiring from t he ranch
some eight years ago, Mr.. Leverich
has had the property on the market,
not because it was not returning
good profits to him each year, but
mainly because It required too much
of his time in looking after It. He
had been unable. however, to find
any one with sufficient capital to
handle such large deal. and when
the proposition presented itself a
short time ago to exchange the ranch
for the Salt Lake property. he decid-
ed to close the deal after giving the
matter thorough consideration.
II may look to some like fool
ish transaction to exchange a 700.
acre ranch, and one Of the best in
Idaho, for 15x1S5 feet Of ground, y
said Mr.. Leverich in talking Of the
deal, but the Salt Lake property il
in the very heart Of the best busi,

bringing in good returns on the in
vestment, and as / firmly believe
that Salt Lake is bound to grow, th.
property will increase in value. Ther

LAND BOARD 4FIRESu
REGISTER JENNESS

Boise. Sept. 6.-The dismissal of
Ned Jenness as register of the state
land department has created great
deal of state interest. The exciting
cause which caused Mr.. Jenness's
dismissal grew from . situation
which resulted from the effort made
to place the collection department Of
the land department Ia the state
treasurer's Office. This change ia a
modified form was championed BY
Governor Haines under whose ad-
ministration collection upon h e
bonds only was placed in the treas
urer's Office. At the first of the
year the present land board voted
by vote Of 3 to ! to have the col
lections made in the treasurer's office
upon state mortgages. In the mean
while this arrangement resulted in 8
general examination Of the loans OF
the land department which examina-
ton was made under the direction
OF the state treasurer. The exami
nation showed that 50 far as tn
work Of the department was con
cerned. there was nothing to indicats
any glaring fault but It did shov
that there were loans upon whicl
interest had been running for sever
al years and that in some cases tn
state had not seen that lands upol
which Il had made loans had pai
their taxes. In one or two cases ta
title had passed to individuals. Th

BORAR GIVES VIEWS
ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE

United States Senator William E.
Borah and prospective republican
nominee for president and one Of
the most talked-of men in the United
States today for that place. In q per-
sonal interiew with a number Of
women at the Owyhee Hotel at Boise
one day last week. stated his views
emphatically and finally on the ques-
ton Of woman suffrage 50 FAR as the
introduction Of constitutional
amendment is concerned.
Senator Borah is credited with
saying, as published In a Boise paper.
that not woman present at the con-
ference would live to see the day the
federal amendment is ratified by suf-
ficient states in the union to make It
effective. He declared also that II
his public career as a United States
senator depended on his stand with
regard to this amendment and that
because he was opposed to 1t, IL
would mean his retirement to private
life, then he was willing to rise or
fall on such an issue, for he was 0p-
posed to it because Of principle and
for no other reason. He made II
clear, however. that he is not opposed
to woman suffrage by states, for be
Is an ardent advocate Of IL as such
and believes that 1t Is q state righI
which should not be taken away.
Senator Borah complimented Mis-
Vernon on the able manner In whiel
she had presented argument for th'
women and their organizations Of
behalf Of woman suffrage and %
poused her sincerity. He asked that
because he took the opposite stan'
on the same issue, he be credite'
with the same sincerity and the sam
good motives.

Martin B. Manton, BeckerS counsel,

That other counsel for Becker

desired, the Governor granted the
convicted man a reprieve from the

left here after his conference with

Strength Of Wireless Signals
Have Been Studied.

In 8 recent lecture before Sec
ion Of the Institution Of Electrical
Engineers at Liverpool, Prof. Edgar
". MarcEant summarized the results
Of his studies Of the conditions that
affect the variations in strength OF
wireless signals. Professor Marchont
described the elaborate apparatus
that he used to measure exactly the
strength of the signals received at
Liverpool from distant stations, such
as those at Paris and Norddeich, and
he showed by diagrams how atmos-
pheric conditions influence that
strength. Between two stations lying
nearly northwest and southwest OF
each other the strength of signals
during the daytime varied within
comparatively narrow limits. The
ratio between the night and day
strengths varies with the time of the
year, and also from day to day in
any given month. On the evening
of fine, clear day the improved
strength known as the 'ssunset ef'
feet" really occurs about three-quar'
ters of an hour after sunset, and it
varies with the weather conditions.
When rainy conditions prevail. the
strength of the signals after sunset
is much less marked. The variations
during the night are relatively
great, and occur within space Of a
few minutes. 1t is possible that these
are caused BY some sudden change in
atmospheric conditions, such as that
which would be produced when 6
mass Of compact air or heavy cloud
interviewed between the stations.-
