COMMISSIONERS CANNOT
ACT INDEPENDENTLY

BOISE, Oct. 19.-State officials are
interested in decision just handed
down by Judge Steele in the case of
Fike & Mitchell versus the county of
Lewis in which that jurist holds that
commissioners of counties cannot make
contracts unless sitting as board. The
decision further holds an additional
claim of 81 900 of the contractors for
$l1 900 of the contractors for work done
under highway bid they received, but
not included in the bid, is void. 1t
seems the contractors secured the CON
sent of the individual members of the
board to widen the highway and for
the extra expense put in claim. Pass
ing on this feature Of the case, Judge
Steele says:
NO record of the board of commits
sioners shows the alleged additional
contract was made, and the evidence
SHOWS that there were no meetings of
the board held for this purpose. The
contract for $3.50 let on bids was prop
erly made, and this amount has been
properly paid the contractors. But
boards Of county commissioners can not
legally enter. into any agreement except
when the board is in session, where
minutes of the orders and agreements
are made matters Of record from which
any citizen may appeal.
Individual members of the board
can not be going about contracting for
the county or changing contracts al
ready made.
Parties contracting with county
or municipal corporation must see to it
that the contracts are legally made or
take the CONSEQUENCES >,

OVERLAND CAR AGAIN
WINS FIRST PLACE

For the third successive year the
Willys-Overland company will occupy
the position of honor at the New York
automobile show to be held at the
Grand Central Palace from December
l31st to January Sth. This was definite.
! ~ decided at the meeting just held in
! New York by the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce y
The space aliotments are based en-
tlrely upon the volume Of business done
by the companies affiliated with the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. This organization includes all
but one of the prominent pleasure car
manufacturers in the United States.
The official report of the chamber
showed that the Toledo concern had
duplicated its success of the past two
years i'll that in sales and production
it had outstripped all other members
of the organization.
| The conclusion arrived at by the gov
erning body was not the result of hear
say evidence. Every member of the
Organization is required to submit a
sworn statement showing the actual
amount of business done during the
year. The fact that the WHY'S Over
land company has won the coveted hon
or three time running, leaves no room
for doubt as to which company is doing
the largest volume of business.
The premier position at the New York
show is to automobile manufacturers
what the pennant is to the National
and American baseball leagues. 1t re-
presents the work for the entire year.
AS one of the highest honors which the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce has to bestow, it is one for which
competition is keen. Each company
is anxious to secure that particular To-
cality in the show which by virtue of
its advantages, points out to the public
the company's position. 1t is in reality
an official announcement of the fact
that the first position winner has sold
more ears Than any other manufacturer
exhibiting at the Grand Central Palace
These big sales have forced extensive
factory additions during the past year
at the Overland plant. One of these
new buildings alone will contain twenty
acres Of floor space and will be nearly
three times the size of the original
Pope plant when taken over by John N.
WHY'S eight years ago.
In June, 1915, the factory buildings
contained total of 70 acres of floor
space. When the new additions are
completed there will be 1O3 acres of
floor space available for production pur-
poses. At present the Toledo factory
is shipping in excess of 500 cars a day
and the increased facilities of the plant
will shortly enable them to reach the
600 mark.-Adv.

GUBERNATORIAL RUMBLINGS

BOISE, Oct. 1s.-That there are Re-
fpublicans in the State who 10 not take
the now famous Pocatello conference
seriously is made manifest by. the fact
that gubernatorial booms are being
started just as though such, conference
had never been held. The potency Of
the Pocatello conference seems to be
doubted. 'r
1t is stated upon good authority that
an announcement is coming that will
create no less sensation than did the
Pocatello conference. Friends of Judge
Edward A. Walters, for years the popu-
lar judge of the Fourth judicial dis
trict, state that he will be prevailed
upon to enter the race. The strength
of Judge Walters as candidate will be
recognized throughout the State. He
was elected district judge in the Fourth
district, the last time he ran without
opposition and in the last campaign he
ran 1000 votes ahead of the Republican
ticket in his old district. If Walters
does not run for governor this time, it
is said that he will try for the Supreme
bench again two years hence and this
would bring him into competition with
Justice Bulge. Both men have many
friends in common, and rather than see
these two men pitted against each other
they would prefer to honor both, and
if Judge Walters should consent to ac-
cept nomination for governor, it would
satisfy a great many Of the friends Of
both. Walters is good campaigner,
popular, and man of recognized abili-
ty. If he should enter the race, he will
have to be reckoned with. His friends
claim that his nomination would be sat
isfactory to Senator Borah.
Hoffman Strong Man
The political developments Of the
week have not been confined to the
southern part of the State by any
means. There IS unmistakable evidence
that Charles l.. Hoffman, of Kootenai
county, is feeling out the way, for his
candidacy for governor. Hoffman is the
political Napoleon Of north Idaho. He
is one real hope Of the north at this
time, assuming that Judge Ailshie is in
retirement and that Lieutenant Cover
nor Taylor is to seek the office of at
torney general, as proposed at Pocatello.
Hoffman is forcefu1 character and re-
sourceful politically. He is especially
strong with the temperance and church
people. If he goes into the fight he will
wage vigorous campaign. Several
northern newspapers have committed
themselves editorially to Hoffman. He
has long been identified with the poll
ties of the State. He was offered a posi-
ton upon the Supreme bench by Gov
ernor Haines, but declined the honor.
He has never sought office for himself.
He is a, successful lawyer, but for a
number Of years has been acquiring
farm lands and is said to own 1000 acres
of valuable timothy land. He has been
shaping his affairs with a view to re-
firing from practice and devoting his
attentions to his farming interests, but
a desire to round out his career with the
honor OF serving as chief executive of
the State appears to have appealed to
hlm. The final announcement of his
intentions relative to entering the, race

WINTER SESSION

The Idaho Technical institute, by adj.
vertisement elsewhere in this issue calls
attention to the beginning of the regu-
lar winter session of that school.
The session, which is especially adap-
ted to that class of young people who
for any reason may be prevented from,
attending the regular session, will open
on November 1st and close on March
10th.
Special classes will begin in all
branches of agriculture, industrial arts,
commerce, music and the general edu,
cational subjects and half year s
credit may be secured if the course is
pursued to completion.
Since the "Idaho TechD is a state
school there is no tuition, and the lab
oratory fees are very reasonable. Board
and room at the dormitories are furnish
ed at cost.
All the buildings, library, Equipment,
laboratories, shops and the experimental
farm of the institution are open to use
by the students of the winter session.
and the college faculty of experts will
give every assistance in their power to
make the students work practical and
thorough.
The Idaho Technical institute at
Pocatello is the State technical school
and offers expert training in the prac-
teal arts and sciences. Those inter
ested should write to the school for
further information.

Senator, Elliott for Congress


Senator E. E. Elliott, of Boundary
county, is in Boise this week, being a
member; of the Irrigation commission
now in session in the capital city. The
senator is feeling out the situation as
to his chances Of going to congress. He
admits that French would be strong
candidate and that French and Smith
would likely be winners, but he cues
tions French s intentions of entering
the race. French has not been in Idaho
since his term expired. 1t has been re-
ported that he is in poor health and
that he may not be able physically to
stand the strain of campaign. He has
been in Chicago for some months. Sen.
ator Elliott was formerly a member Of
the faculty of the University of Idaho,
but of late years has been conducting
IA large stock ranch in the Kootenai
valley. He was member of the last
State senate.-Caldwell Tribune.

Albert s Literature

Ex-Gov. Albert w. Gilchrist,
who is an announced candidate
for the U. S. Senate, has been
sending out a few of his cam
'paign circulars" just few
as he says, "by way Of popping
a cap" The circular has eigh-
teen planks, and a whole lot of
other stuff that is about on par
with the Gilchrist literature in the
campaign of 1908, when he re-
ceiyed the nomination for COVER
nor. We hope no one will laugh
at this circular. True, it is some
what lacking in dignity, but then
no one expects Gov. Gilchrist to be
dignified. He is good campaign
er, nevertheless and when he gets
to stirring around in the "bush
distributing these circulars in per-
son, it will be discovered that he
has some substantial friends who
are going to peel their coats and
go to work, and vote for this
6 forty-eleventh cousin of George
Washington and James Madison. "

fungi can supply them or they
may be obtained from citrus
grove in which they have been in
Itroduced. The young scales can
be killed in summer by a soap
SPRAY mixed in the proportion of
one pound of soap to five or six
gallons of water. 1t is well to re-
peat the spraying in about ten
days. If necessary spray the
third time. Soap is not very eff
fective against the adult scales be-
cause of the hard chitinous cover
ing which they secrete to protect
their bodies after they become es-
tablished. Some species of the
lady-beetle are parasitic upon the
San Jose Scale but they are not
numerous in Florida and besides
they could not be depended upon
to control it.
The fungi like damp weather
and some difficulty may be had in
getting them to grow if the wealth
.er is dry. However, there will
probably be enough spores to
spread the fungi when conditions
become favorable for growth if
they are put in the orchard now.

San Jose Scale has Enemy in
- Fungi

San Jose Scale is one of the most
destructive pests which the fruit
grower has to fight. 1t attacks
not r~''r. peaches, which are its
preferred host, but plums and ap-
pies as well. Whole orchards
have been wiped out by it. Even
where it does not kill them it saps
the vitality of the tree until the
fruit is damaged and understood.
1t attacks the fruit of the peach
and makes it unstable.
Where the disease has strong
hold the badly infested trees or
branches should be cut out and
burned. In other cases it may be
controlled by spraying or by nat
ural enemies. Fortunately there
are two fungi, the red-headed and
the black, which are parasitic up
on the scale. If these fungi are
present in the orchard in sufficient
numbers they will hold the pest in
check. These may be introduced
into orchards by tying pieces of
wood bearing the spores onto the
branches of trees infested with
the scale. DIR. E. w. Berger, en-
tomologist to the State Plant
Board, cites instances where these
two fungi have kept the scale in
control. They are also parasitic
upon the purple scale of citrus
trees.
