REPUBLICANS ARE
REJOICING OVER THE
RECENT ELECTIONS
Especial to The Tribune.)

Boise, Nov. 4.-There were many
expressions of satisfaction in the
Capital city, among Republicans, last
Wednesday morning, as a result OF
the elections in the eastern states. The
trend of the election returns were un-
miStakably Republican and sustain
ing the feeling of confidence Re
publicans entertain relative to the
Presidential outlook in 1916.
Secretary of State Barker said that
the most significant feature of the re-
suit was the demonstration that the
party was again united.
Governor Haines declared that the
Democrats were merely reaping the
whirlwind for their failure to redeem
their promises-failure to reduce the
high cost of living and failure to re-
store confidence.
Chairman Ramstedt of the Utilities
Commission observed that the states
holding elections last Tuesday were
the states that have prohted much
from the manufacture and sale Of war
supplies, and remarked that if those
states were tired of Democracy, the
party in power would fare much worse
elsewhere.
State Treasurer Eagleson was oil
the opinion that the elections last
Tuesday were conclusive indications
of the election of Republican Presl,
dent in 1916. and a return of con.
hdence and prosperity.
John Mcmillan declared that the
returns made him feel good and he
hoped that the prediction made by
Col. Harvey that Borah would BIZ
the Republican nominee for President
would come true. He said we woulc
elect Borah as sure as guns. Col
| Harvey is the man that predicted thu
nomination and election of Wilson
and has gained the reputation Of be
ing some prophet.
Capt F. G. Davis declared tina
Democratic policies had always beer
failure and that the Wilson admin
istration and congress were no ex
ceptions. He pointed out that the sit
uation was similar to the time wher
| Mckinley was nominated and elect
ed, and the results to follow would b.
the same-Presperity.
Judge Bulge, Governor Morrison
Frank Wyman, Judge Sullivan, Judg,
Richards, Charles Cavanah, and othe
leading Republicans were equally
optomistic.

Hallowe'eners in Court.

On warrants sworn out by County
Prosecutor Griffiths six boys who par
ticipated in Halloween frolics at
Wilder were late Wednesday summon
ed to appear in Probate Judge
Meek's court here Thursday after
noon. f. M. Small of the same place
was also placed under arrest as a re-
suit of complain against him alleg-
ing that he fred a shot which took
effect in the arm of one of the party OF
boys who invaded his premises.
The boys arrested are Earl Line
baugh, Joe Simpson, Bryan Slinker,
Harold Anderson. Lawrence Day and
Harry Hitler. The Limbaugh youth
is the one who received the bullet in
his arm. Malicious mischief is the
charge against the boys, the specific
accusation being that they invaded the
premises of Mr.. Small and removed
therefrom two hayrakes.
Mr.. Grifiths suggests that it would
be to the interests of those accus-
toned to celebrate Halloween BY
committing acts of mischief to take
not of the results of these prosecu-
tons.

Judge Sullivan was highly honored
by the bar of Boise and vicinity last
Wednesday. The occasion was ris
9th birthday and the anniversary of
his elevation to the Supreme Bench,
having served continuously as a mem
Der of that high tribunal for twenty

TRANSACT THE
REGULAR, ROUTINE
. BUSINESS

The denizens of College Heights
established what the City Fathers
consider an excellent precedent when
in return for the action of the council
in extending the water works system
to include College Heights, the
Mayor, Council, Clerk and ATTORNEY
were invited to partake of a genuine
chicken dinner tonight at the Batch
ley residence. Rev. M. H. Mead ex-
tended the invitation and needless to
say it was accepted instanter.
Mr.. Keller was authorized to pur-
chase paint and embellish the city
water wagons-to make them more
attractive for January lst., when many
of our most estimable citizens will
climb aboard.
The street committee was author
lied to lease a city barn from Mrs. J..
G. Gartin for one year at a monthly
rent of $1,000.
The reports of the various CITY Of
ficials were read and approved, after
which a petition from Mr.. Hay was
read asking that an alley adjoining
his cemetry lots be closed. No action
was taken.
Two more bill boards were allowed
to be erected-one on Arthur street
between 9th and 9TH, and one near
the Caxton Printers The Fire Chief
reported his inspection of the city
flues, and protest signed by Mrs. H.
X. Hartley was read. Mrs. Hartley
objected to the installation of a curb
which adjoins her property. No action
was taken.
All bills were allowed with the ex-
ception of one from Mr.. w. T. Cal
loway for right-of-way for Local La
teral Sewer No. 4, in the sum of
$500.
Bill, No. 8, an ordinance providing
for the election of city officers, etc,
was read. This ordinance merely
amends the city laws to agree with
state laws preparatory to the publica-
ton of city ordinances. Bill No.
provides for the codifying and public
alton of the city laws.

night at six o'clock to pass the two
ordinances.

JONES PLEADS GUILTY
AND is PAROLED
Notorious Character Saved From Pen
in Interests of Economy.

A. A. Jones who was arrested sew
eral months ago on a charge of grand
larceny plead guilty to the charge in
the district court Saturday. He was
sentenced to from one to IA years at
hard labor in the state penitentiary.
The sentence was suspended and
Jones was paroled conditioned upon
his good behavior. He will refrain
from the use of liquors, keep away
from bad company and report monthly
to Judge Meek.
Jones stole Ford automobile from
r. A. Hogue of Payette and with three
friends, one male and two female,
struck for the interior of Oregon. The
party was apprehended at Jordan Val
ley and brought back to this city. The
girls were minors and were sent to
the state reform school at St. An
thony. AT the preliminary hearing in
the probate court Jones was bound
over to the district court.
Bad Reputation in Caldwell.
Jones has bad reputation in this
city. He was run out of town on
two or three occasions by Chief
Baker to whom complaints had been
made that he was procurer. Short
ly after he was run out the last time
he undertook the Payette enterprise.
AS near as we can ascertain the Off
Gals of the county did not care to go
to the expence of prosecuting Jones
and the deal whereby he was to plead
guilty and have the sentence suspend
ed was made.

MEMBERS OF RIFLE CLUB
ELECT NEW PRESIDENT

AT a meeting of the Caldwell rife
club held at the armory Monday
evening, ]. ]. Plowhead was elected
president to fill the vacancy of Geo.
R. Varney, resigned. At this meeting
it was decided to hold indoor target
practice at the armory on the first
and third Tuesdays of each month.
The guns used to be the regular
military rifle, fitted to shoot 22-sheels.
On these evenings all business of
the club will be transacted.
The charter of the club is now on
display in the window of Boyes Hard
ware store. 1t is we'll worth seeing.
1t is hoped that every member of the
club will take advantage of the indoor
target work for it is great sport.
Several new members have joined
the club i'll the past two weeks.
At the rifle range, Sunday, Mr.. c.
J. Barker qualified as sharpshooter,
his score being 1876 out of a possible
$50 This qualification entities him to
a sharpshooter's badge and military
rifle. Mr.. Barker is the first man OF
the club to win rife Sunday next
several more men intend to shoot for
qualification and we feel sure that
next week we can give notice of sew
eral more guns won, as there are some
very good marksmen being developed
from among the club members.
1t is the hope of the Caldwell cIuo
to shallenge the Boise club for COM
petitive shoot in the near future Boise
has the distinction of being next to
the best club in the United States for
the number of men qualified as expert
or sharpshooter.

CANYON COUNTY JUDGE
BRINGS LAW TO THE
STATES ATTENTION

Judge Frank Meek of Canyon
county has brought up a question that
is causing the state officials grave
concern. The Judge holds, and the
law sustains his contention, that the
state should pay the expenses of
transporting delinquent children to
the state industrial school at St. An
thony. Canyon county has filed a
claim against the state for $6o.75, the
cost of sending two children to the
school The allowance of the claim
means the admission that the state
is liable for this expcnce. During the
ten years since the school was estab-
lished between $4,000 and 100000
has been paid out by the different
counties for sending delinquent child
| rem to the school. The state officials
naturally fear that the several coun-
ties will file claims for money thus
| paid out.
Law is Clear and Explicit.
The law covering this item of ex-
penSe has been overlooked for ten
years. The law is clear and explicit.
Section S25 of the revised codes reads:
The expense of conveying said boy
or girl to said institution shall be paid
as IN the case of convicts conveyed to
the penltentiary of the state of Ida
no. AS is well known, it has always
been the custom for the state to pay
the cost of transporting criminals to
the penitentiary and this is also true
in the case of insane patients being
taken to the asylums 1t is so pro-
vided by the statutes.
On making his discovery Judge
Meek proceeded to file with the state
auditor claims for expenses incurred
in taking the last two youths from
Caldwell to St. Anthony. The ex-
pense in one case was $3l and in the
other $3875.
Alarm at Statehouse.
Receipt of the claims, with citations
to section BPS. created a lot of con-
sternation at the statehouse. The rea-
son for alarm on the part of the state
. officials lies not only in the fact that
allowance for $69,7S paves the way for
every other county in the state to
present current claims of like ma
ture, but more particularly in the fact
that the state will thus acknowledge
liability for payment of all such ex-
penses paid by the counties I'm the pas,
10 years.
While not yet checked up, it is es-
timated that Canyon county's bill
against the state for expenses of this
nature would approximate twenty
five hundred dollars. Large counties
is more distant portions of the state
would undoubtedly have greater
claims to present, while those nearer
) ST. Anthony might not recover SO
much. The average claim which the
state would be obliged to pay each
: county would hardly fall short OF
two thousand dollars.
Delaying Payment
1t is known here that the matter OF
legality of the Canyon county claim
was put IN to Attorney General Peter
son for ruling. His decision has
: not yet been made public though il
is now more than a month since the
4 claim was filed. 1t is rumored that
the delay is due to the reluctance on
the part of the governor and members
of the state board of education to face
the food of claims sure to ensue il
validity of the Canyon county bill
8 is acknowledged.
