SAVED SSO0,OOO
SAYS SENATOR kALINE
Gives Gov. Alexander and Assembly
Credit for Doing Good Work.

| State Senator Axel Kaline of Win
chester, having returned to his home
from Boise, was very pronounced in
his approval of the work accomplish
ed by the Idaho legislative session
just closed.
In an interview published in the
Lewiston Tribune Of Saturday, SEMI
tor Kaline gave much credit tn Gov
ernor Moses Alexander not only for
his consistency but for his honesty
of purpose in his program for econo-
my. The senator gives much credit
to the Mormon members of the SEN
ate for their assistance and praised
Representative King for his work.
Senator Kaline divides the credit
for the saving of $800,000 in ex-
penses to the state between Governor
Alexander and the upper house of
the legislature.
"With its own initiative the-senate
cut the salaries from the governors
office. It abolished the tax and the
water commissions, allowed certain
state and county officers to accept
passes on the railroads, and passed
many other measures tending to
lower expenses.
While upholding the policy of the
governor in the main, Senator Kaline
expressed regret that certain meas
ures, notably the substitute for the
fish and game law, were vetoed.
Senator Kaline stated that benefit
will accrue to the various counties of
the state as result of the auto tax
law, which requires that rs per cent
of the money collected as taxes shall
remain in the county where collected.
A school bill which is understood
to have been fathered by State Com
missioner of Education Sisson, and
which President George H. Black of
the Lewiston State Normal is now
advocating at county trustees meet
ings, was defeated at a gain to the
northern counties of the state of
more than $4,000, Senator Kaline
stated
The bill permitting dams to be
built along the Clearwater river, the
senator stated, will prove of untold
benefit to the people of the entire
Clearwater valley and the country
adjacent.
In concluding his interview, Sena-
tor Kaline stated that farming cen
ditions in the southern part of the
state are far less favorble this year
than prevail in the northern part of
the state. For example hay was
selling in the southern part of the
state at So the ton in the stack: po-
tatoes we're retailing at from 40 to
so cents the hundred pounds, and
cholera had made great loss to the
hog industry in the south portion of
the state.

Campbell WANTS
$4,000 DAMAGES.
Suit Against Vollmer Interests Now Up
In District Court. Calendar
About Finished.

The district court has been busy
this week disposing of the jury cases.
Monday the case of L. w. Robinson
VS. F. J. Stevens was tried and YER
dict rendered in favor of Mr.. Robin
son for $179.8O. This was a case
where Roinson brought suit for set
tlement on an old account for sup
plies furnished ard rent for the hotel
while Mr.. Stevens was running the
Clark House. The defendant claim
ed he had paid a portion of the ac-
count and that the supplies for the
balance had been left in the hotel
when he vacated it. The amount
sued for was 5000. F. E. Fogg ap-
peared for the plaintiff and S. 0.
Tannahill for the defendant.
Tuesday the case of R. C. Bywat-
ers VS.. w. H. Bohrer, which had
been appealed from the justice court,
was tried and verdict rendered in
favor of Bohrer.
This action was brought by By
waters against Bohrer for the pos
session of horse which the plain
tiff alleged had been left with him as
a pledge for debt of SOS. Tanna-
hill and Pennell appeared as attor-
neys for the plaintiff and P. w.
Mitchell represented the defendant.
Yesterday and today the time has
been taken up on the trial of the
case of W. E. Campbell VS.. the Bank
& Trust Co. of Vollmer, in which
Campbell is suing for $250OO 90
damage for conversion of property. |
From the evidence it appears that
about two years ago Campbell, who
at that time had mortgaged lot Of
real and personal property to the
bank. had started out to sell the per-
sonal property, claiming that he had
been given authority by the bank to
sell it and apply the proceeds on the
mortgage. When he had reached
Leland in Nez Perce county, war
rant was sworn out against him for
trying to get away with mortgaged
property and he was arrested and
put in Jail at Lewiston. A deed was
given to the real property but Camp
bell claimed he still had some inter-
est in it and action has been taken
by the bank to oust him from the
land which has been done. The pre-
sent action is an outgrowth of the
two former suits.
Attorney James E. Babb of Lew
iston is representing the bank while
C. r. Mcdonald of Spokane, J. S.
Mcdonald of Cheney and S. O.
Tannahill are representing Campbell.
Judge Steele is not leaving much
unfinished business on the docket for
this term, and. with the conclusion of
The Campbell case this evening the
March session will be practically

One addition TO the church was re-
