GRIEVES FOR AN
OLD FRIEND
F. H. YanderhOofs Shepherd Dog
Crushed Under Wagon

F. H. Yanderhoof's shepherd dog,
his faithful and contant companion
for nigh onto II years, is dead.
Dooley, as he was called, was run over
by team and wagon yesterday, at
the Bank of Emmett corner, and died
soon after of the injuries he received.
He would have been II years old if he
had lived until July 3.
Dooley was a remarkably intelli-
gent animal, and was known by all
the old timers in the valley. In the
early days, before the railroad came,
Mr.. Vanderhoof used to freight be-
tween here and Boise and the dog
saved him a good many hundred dol
lars by guarding the horses. One
case in particular is cited. While re-
turning from Boise darkness came on.
The horses were turned out to Craze
for the night. Next morning, one
horse, a valuable animal was missing.
The barking of the dog some distance
away attracted attention and there
the horse was found on his back I'M
a gully.
During the Philippine war, Dooley
was traded to Jim Renwick for
load of hay. The Spanish sheep
herders employed by Mr.. Renwicls,
the dogs name to be
Dewey, refused to use him and he was
returned to Mr.. Vanderhoof. Of late
years Dooley has suffered from rheu-
matism and the infrmities of old age. /

Relic of Saloon Days

A polished mahogany counter, with
granite footboard, has this week been
set up in the bookkeeping department
of the John McNish store. This
piece of furniture is relic of saloon
days, being part of the equipment of
a former bar. Many foam
ing glass of beer and many hot
drink has passed over lis polished
top to the stomachs-and heads of
the thirsty; many secret has been
whispered as the inebriating fluid
loosened tongues and flung discretion
to the winds; and many convivial
song and ribald jest has echoed
through it's capacious cupboards.
What tale it could tell if it could
talk! What skeletons it could pull
from dark closets to haunt people now
living! Lucky it is that that old bar
is an inanimate objecti

CITY AN EMPLOYMENT
AGENCY
New Law FOrbids Private Con
cerns-W. w. Hopes Chosen
President of Council

A new law passed by the late leg
islature and which became effective
June l, provides that every city, town
and village in Idaho shall establish a
municipal employment agency where
those wanting help and those seeking
employment may register. The police
judge is made the employment agent
and will received half of the fees
collected.
The statute divides the cities into
two classes. One class is composed of
those having a population of 5000 or
more, the other class, those having
less than 5000. In the last-named
class, the agency is quartered in the
office of the police judge. If there is
no such official, then justice of the
peace takes charge. The fees charged
for positions secured are 81 for appli-
cants outside of city, and so cents for
those inside city. Half of these fees
90 to the officer in charge, the other
half to the city but the compensation
shall not exceed $125 per month. The
officer is required to keep a record Of
all transactions and to file with the
county auditor an annual report on the
first Monday in December of each
year. Private employment agencies
are forbidden to conduct such bust
ness. At Monday nights meeting Of
the council, Police Judge Stokesbery
was instructed by resolution to pro-
cure the necessary record book and at
once comply with the law.

A Surprise

The scene was the stockyards and
the actors were three small boys
armed with air guns. They were
looking for something out OF the or
dinary to shoot, and they found it-a
mars hat sticking up above the weeds.
"Let's see who can hit it" said one.
Three guns went to three boys
shoulders with soldierly precision, pop,
pop, pop went the three guns and
three BIB shots struck the hat in rapid
succession. 1t happened that beneath
the hat was mans head hoboe
who had lain down for nap-and he
was badly frightened as the shot
plunked into his hat. But the boys
were worse scared, and beat retreat
up the railroad tracks so fast that
their going looked like streak of
dust in the wake of a motorcycle
travelling 60 miles an hour.

Barley Waist High

j. W. Logan, whose homestead is
in the Sand Hollow neighborhood
northwest of Emmett, was in town
yesterday. His ranch comprises 95
acres of dry land and 26 acres under
irrigation, all in crop, and ali reclaim
ed from sagebrush since February He
has Al acres in barley, which is waist
high, headed out and will be ready to
harvest, he thinks by July 4. Thir-
teen acres are in wheat. He has three
acres in dry land potatoes, some of
them as large as baseballs. Mr.. Lo-
gan and his boys have worked hard
and are richly deserving of the good
fortune which Nature has brought
them this year.

up with the city water mains. In
building the house, Mr.. Vanderdasson
had lots of advice from the neighbors,
as usual, and because of his kind
heartedness he kept adding a little
here and little there until he has a
building twice as large as he original
ly intended. He will get his revenge
when some one else builds in that
But we don't know OF
anyone who is more entitled to the
solid comfort they will get out of

G. B. Mains and E. NJ. Reilly ap-
peared to petition the city to have
Park street from Wardwell to Nc
Kinley sanded and the sprinkling dis
trict extended to include that block.
They stated that since the new road
along the railroad was opened, great
deal of the travel from the east comes
that way and the dust becomes
almost unbearable to the dwellers on
that street. The gentlemen were re-
quested to circulate a petition for the
improvement among the property
owners and present it at future meet
ing.

Not only does young Harold see things

Atlanta seven years ago of Russian
parents, and his strange vision was not
discovered until he was sent to the

Richard Krumbiegel was divorced

the two became reconciled and he

WOMAN Halter WEEDS.

st. Louis, March 24,-When Miss
Lillian N. Basham became the bride
of Oscar G. Stemme, st. Louis man
ufacturer yesterday, it was a case OF
a man-hater marrying a woman-hater
after each had vowed never to speak
kindly to one of the opposite sex.
Miss Basham was formerly of
iClarksville, Tenn. Two years ago, af.
ter she divorced her first husband,
John Co.e, in Bowling Green, Ky, she
declared she was through with men
for all time. Recently she came tC
st. Louis from Tennessee on visit
and decided to remain. Her boarding
place and that of Stemme, who had
had an unfortunate love affair in his
youth, and because of it became a
woman hater was the same. For
months they ate two meals day op-
posite one another without speaking
One day by accident they both
reached for the same biscuit at break

ser is heavily interested in the Ham
burg-American line and in the loans
negotiated in Germany by the City OF
New York.
The Canadian properties in which
the Kaiser is interested were acquir
ed by Count Alvensloben some two
years ago. A railroad had been pro.
1ected to the Grounding coal fields,
and the hard coal was to have been
paced on the American and Canadian
markets; but for some reason, nothing
was done toward completing the road
after the surveys were made and the
property had been acquired b1 the
Germans.

most incredible. yet l am constantly
hearing of instances where the work
ing girls salary is minimized by her
brothers mean habit of borrowing,
and never in any case repaying.
They seem to think l am a perpet.
ual mint of money" said one such girl
wistfully the other day. And they
are constantly begging me to lend
them quite large sums of money, too.
I'm so fond of my brothers that hate
to refuse-and, of course, two of them
are married, and seem to be in a per-
petual maze of debts and bills,
and one of my sisters-in-law is
an invalid, so that makes it almost
impossible for me to refuse to do my
little bit"
The business girl who is placed in
this predicament should pull up and
recollect her own personal rights in
her salary. 1t is not her duty to sup
port her whole family, and particular.
ly is it not her duty to support her
able-bodied brothers and their ailing
wives 1t is positively wrong of hep
to do it, for it takes away any manli
ness that may still linger in these
brothers nature.
The girl who works for her own liv
ing has right to the money that SHE
earns. The claims of parents should
always be duty recognized, but never
overestimated. The claims of bro
theirs and sisters should be well
thought over and investigated before
any foolish and ill-advised giving away
of hard-earned money takes place
For the business woman has a right to
her own salary. She has worked hard
for 1t, and she has earned it, Most
certainly should she be careful before
she allows herself to be financial y
imposed upon, even by members of
her own family.
