STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
Idaho Teachers Invited to Nationa
Educational Association.

Many teachers, attracted by the Pan
ANA Pacific exposition and the low rail
road rates, will come to California this
summer. They should so plan their
itinerary that they may attend the con-
ventions in Oakland from August 10th
to 2Sth, of the National Education As
ISOLATION and the International Con-
gress of Education. These conventions,
which undoubtedly will be the great
est educational meetings ever held, will
assemble in Oakland's new $1,000, 900
municipal auditorium.
Oakland offers decided advantages
as place of headquarters not only for
visiting teachers, but for all tourists.
Situated on the east shore of San
Francisco bay, thirty minutes from
San Francisco, and having the benefit
of an average summer temperature of
but 60 degrees, it has become a popular
summer resort even for Californians
because of its wonderful climate.
The cost of living has not been in
creased by the exposition and good
rooms may be secured for a dollar a
day and upward, and at greatly reduced
rates by the month. Food is as cheap
as in any city city in the United States.
Teachers interested in summer school
work will find exceptional opportun-
tiles for study at the University of
California at Berkeley, which is but IS
minutes ride by electric car from the
business center of Oakland.
Swift and easy access from Oakland
to the Panama Pacific exposition has
been assured by the establishment of
direct ferry service to the big fair.
Those preferring to take the regular
ferries have ten minute service. which
lands them at the Market street ferry
building. The trip across the beauti-
full bay, particularly by the direct ferry
is one of the most delightful features
OF sojonrn in Oakland. Strangers
as well as members of the National
Educational Association visiting Cali
fornia during the summer will find that
brief visit to Oakland will afford
many delightful inducements for a pro-
longed stay.

QUARTERLY PAY FOR OFFICIALS

The supreme court last Friday held
that the act of the last Legislature pro-
viding for monthly instead of quarterly
payment of county officers salary
was unconstitutional. 1t was argued
that the constitution meant that the
s. laries should be paid at not greater
intervals than every quarter, but the
court CONSTITUTES the act in conjunction
with the law requiring county COM
missioners to meet quarterly, and says
that if salaries were paid monthly the
commissioners, meeting quarterly,
would have no opportunity to make
reductions for amounts possibly due the
county.
The decision was rendered in the
ease of Robert H. LEONARD, probate
judge of Owyhee county, against John
8. St. Clair, auditor of that county.
Judge Leonard in order to test the
law, applied for writ of mandate to
compel the auditor to pay him his
salary for the month of May, 1915.
The auditor demurred to the petition
for the writ, and the supreme court
sustained the demurrer.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

There has been a marked and a
fortunate change in a score of years
in the character Of the local newspa-
per. The proverbial country editor
Of fiction and tradition, who made his
profession more or less of joke, has
given away to the country editor of to-
day, usually clean-cut, up-to-date
business man, endowed with a keen
sense of his responsibility and proud
of his life work. The local papers have
grown in circulation and quality. Their
influence upon the growth Of a high
standard Of education and in the quiet
suppression of the fads and fancies
of would be reformers has been potent
ly exerted. One does not find much
mention Of them in the outside world,
but the influence is there, just the
same in it's uplifting tendency and po-
tent for real progress and liberty. The
material strength of these newspapers
is the best evidence of their usefulness.
AS general thing they are well sup.
ported and they deserve to be. A well
conducted local paper is always in favor
with the people because it is their home
paper. And this is as it should be, for
the man who does not read his paper
not only misses the minute local view
of affairs in his community, but fails
in his duty of supporting valuable
influence for the prosperity and ad-
vancement of his own town. The local
paper, if properly conducted is one of
the most valuable assets of the COM
munity.-Hiram Wallace.

WOOL PRICES SOARING

Soda Springs, June 2l.-Never in
the history of the Soda Springs country
have wool prices approached the level
reached this season.
Some sixty days ago the market
started off with roar and 25 cents
was established as the basis. A good
percentage of the growers took ad-
vantage of this price and contracted
their clips, rather than hold on aad
run the risk OF break in the mar
ket before time for delivery the wool.
The next big advance was reported
when the B. Harris Wool company of
st. Louis took the output of the Bon
neville Lease on basis of 261hc. What
Few clips in the Grays Lake country
had not contracted at Csc, went to
Harris at 261ac. A few of the more
adventurous growers still hung on. The
recent removal of the embargo on fine
woods resulted in wild scramble among
the buyers for what few coarse Sins

Attorney General Peterson has been
found not guilty of the charge of en-
bezzling state funds. He submitted his
defense on his own testimony, in which
he fatty denied the allegations of the
state. The jury received its instructions
at $3.50 O'Clock, and inside of a half
hour had returned verdict acquiting
the defendant.
The prosecution completed its case
shortly after noon. The defense opened
and closed with Peterson s testimony,
and the case went to the jury without
argument from either side. Although
the trial was short, it attracted wide
spread attention because of the promin-
ence Of the attorney general jury prob
ing state affairs the first Of the present
year.

fled as witnesses for the prosecution.
The evidence of Allen and Coleman
as to the effect that list of items
carried as cash by the treasurer has
been kept in the treasury department.
The total made up the $4,000 shortage.
OF this amount 1860 was known as
the J. H. p item, or funds advanced to
Attorney General Peterson. The item
was made up of note for $500 and
three receipts for money advanced by
Allen to Peterson. Peterson admitted
the existence Of the note and receipts.
The note was given to Allen for loan
OF $500 before Peterson was elected
attorney general, and the balance of
the 5000 was advanced by Allen out
of his personal funds to Peterson to
meet campaign and other expenses. AL
len testified that the money in every
instance was from his private funds.
He admitted that he used the Peterson
note to cover up shortage in his cash
in the treasury department, but he said
Peterson or no one else, except Cole
man, his deputy knew anything about
this.
