Fish and game licenses for 1915
will be issued by the department
about April l. On the backs of the
licenses will appear brief summary
of the fish and game laws as amended
by the Thirteenth session. The
changes are numerous and every
sportsman should scrutinize them
carefully. Fish may be caught at
any time with hook and line, except
trout. As in previous years, trout
must not be taken during the month
of April except in lakes and nav-
gable streams.
On the face of things it would ap
pear that our genial junior senator,
James III. Brady, is taking a little
fiier in Washington realty, and is
providing himself with a handsome
home that will cost him $3.50, 900.
He has purchased the home of the
late Senator Nixon Of Nevada, and
it is said the property consists of one
of the finest residences in the suburbs
of Washington, with l3 acres of
ground, occupying commanding
position from which view of almost
the entire city of Washington may be

State banks will be 10 a position to
take advantage of the federal reserve
act when the laws passed at the
Thirteenth session of the Idaho
legislature go into effect, in the
opinion of State Bank Examiner Hit.
The bill permitting them to accept
the federal law has been signed by
the governor, but carried no emer
gency clause. 1t will become opera
| tive during the latter part of April.
Under The present state banking law
no state bank may invest more than
five per cent of its capital stock
in the securities of any financial oil
business institution. The federal
law requires that state banks coming
under it shall invest six per cent oil
their capital stock in the federal re
/ serve bank. Senate bill No. 102 re-
moves that obstruction.

Ready For
Spring Cleaning
Board Asks That Rubbish Be Piled
Other Matters Considered

Spring cleaning of yards, vacant
lots, streets and alleys was one of
the subjects discussed by the board
OF village trustees at the meeting
Monday night and it was deemed
advisable to ask all property own
ers to have their rubbish and
refuse raked up and placed in the
alleys in piles convenient for load
ing and hauling away when the
town wagon starts work April Ist.
This refers to such rubbish as
cannot be readily burned by pro-
perty owners on their own premis-
es. The board asked that the
suggestion be published.
The supposed defects in the
title and description of lots in
Block H, Posts addition, were
cleared up by information given by
w. H. Edelblute that certain por
tions supposed to have been dedi-
Gated for street purposes were
never so dedicated so tar as can be
ascertained from the records. The
result of investigation seems to be
that the owners, l.. S. Kiel, F. A..
Morris and w. w. Bennett have
title to all the land described in
their deeds.
The problem of how the tennis
club can maintain the tennis courts
in the park and keep non-members
from monopolizing them and de
stroying nets and tape was another
matter brought up. No solution
was reached but it was suggested
that two courts be maintained fol
members and one for non-mem
bers, and that the names of men,
bers be posted in the court tc
show who has prior right to th'
courts.
Some needed sidewalk repair
were considered. A. o. Skinne

Appropriations Cut Heavily.---Work-

In an opinion on the action Of
the governor in vetoing appropria-
tions in part, Attorney General Jos.
H. Peterson at Boise says:
81 give you as a general state
ment of my view of the law that the
executive has no power under the
constitution to cut down an item.
He may veto an item entirely, but
he may not change an item, and
therefore in the above mentioned
bills, where an attempt has been
made to reduce an item such at
tempt is entirely futile and the
appropriation carries the amount
provided in the bill"

On March IS Governor Alexan-
der signed the appropriation bills
after cutting the total from $780,,
8I1.24 to SI,5I5,57o.45, reduc-
ton of $2I5,131.79 from the total
voted by the Legislature. The
amounts stricken out were:
General appropriation bill, $40, ,325.0o
Educational budget, 50,6OO.00
Charitable and penal budget, 10, 10000
Deficiency bill, 37,2O6.79
Workmen's compensation, 100000
In the general appropriation bill,
salaries and expenses are reduced
or stricken out entirely, all sec
tions faring alike, the chief execu-
tive claiming development and
extension work is too expensive.
Salaries cut off include those of
legal assistant for state bank exam
iner; for secretary, registrar,
deputy and stenographer of state
board of health; state chemist;
chief clerk board of education.
Salaries reduced in part: deputy
examiner in auditors office; state
veterinarian; inspectors, steno-
graphers and secretary livestock
sanitary board; deputy horticul-
tural inspectors and fer nursery
stock inpection.
The amounts stricken from the
deficiency bill are chiefly claims of
timber protective associations for
expenses of fighting fire on state
lands in 1914.
Appropriations for summer
schools at state educational insti-
tutions; for investigation of insects
injurious to Idaho crops, for in
spection of nursery stock, and Tor
maintenance of vital statistics
record are among those stricken
off entirely. An appropriation oi
$4,000 for permanent improve
ments at the state penitentiary
and one of $1o, 900 for physica
education building at the industria
training school met like fate.

Enter Post Office After Raid

Town is Awakened, But Goes
Back to Sleep While Bandits
Work.

Burglars entered the post office
building at Advance, about 20 miles
south of this city, Tuesday night, and
after blowing the safe made their es-
cape with about $500 in money and
postage stamps.
The robbers effected an entrance by
breaking the lock on one of the rear
doors. Before breaking into the post
office they went into the Frisco tool
house and secured a number of heavy
bars with which they pried the lock
off the rear door of the post office.
After entering the building, they
ransacked all the desks and drawers,
but found nothing of particular value.
The safe door was blow from its
hinges by means of nitro glycerine
which had been used in such quantities
that the plate glass front was broken
in numerous places by the shock, and
several window panes were shivered.
The heavy door was blown back a dis
tance of several feet from the safe
and fell with such force that a hole
was broken almost entirely through
the floor where it fell.
Several residents were awakened by
the explosion but no effort was made
to locate its origin. and the robbery
was not discovered until Postmaster
Goodman reported early yesterday
morning to open the office.
The floor was covered with litter,
all the papers had been taken from
the safe. and every drawer had been
looted of everything of value. All the
postage stamps and all the money,
amounting to more than $500 had been
carried away.
The shock of the explosion was so
great that the plastering had fallen
from the walls and ceilings, and the
stove pipe had been shaken down and
was lying disioihted on the floor.
An attempt was made to secure
5loodhounds from Poplar Bluff, but
the man who owns the dogs was away
from home and could not return in
time to afford the assistance wanted.
1t is believed that the crime was
committed by two suspicious char
acters who had been seen lettering
about the post office and other bust
ness places for the past week. Neither
of them were to be found yesterday
morning, although both of them had
been seen late the night before. 1t is
thought that they are the men who
were accountable for the robbery, and
descriptions have been sent broadcast
for the purpose of locating and cap
turing the fugitives.
Armed posses are securing the
country surrounding Advance, and
every precaution is being taken to
prevent the escape of the criminals.

Prof. J. NJ. Site of 734 North Pa
cific street, was seated in the library
of his home yesterday when he heard
the door bell ring. Dropping a news
paper to the floor, he went to invite
the caller in.
The visitor happened to be a middle
aged woman, who appeared to be able
to look into the professors future by
gazing at his palm, but she asked him
if he had a surplus of food that she
might take away with her.
AS the cook was out, Professor Site
informed the visitor that he had moth
ing to offer, but suggested that she
call later. She thanked him and de-
parted as he closed the door.
A moment later he stepped out on
the front porch and noticed a mys-
terious paper bag sitting on the step.
"Umphr' he exclaimed. "That looks
like an Internal machine"
He stepped near it, then backed
away. While he could not detect a
fuse, he felt that one was secreted
about the package and he had a pro-
monition that it was lighted.
Stepping to the telephone, he mott
fled Chief of Police Hutson that a
mysterious woman had deposited a
dangerous looking package on his
front porch. He requested a police
man Immediately.
Chief Hutson ordered George Talley
of the Broadway squad to go to the
Site home and tote away the Internal
machine. Hoping that the explosion
would take place before he reached
the scene, Patrolman Talley moseyed
toward the Site home.
He discovered the paper bag just
as he entered the yard and he got
ready to shoot back if it started any

was arrested yesterday and found
guilty of disturbing the peace. He was

Willer. When arrested a few days

months in Jail and 500 fine was stay
ed during good behavior. His cOnvic-

the former sentence being enforced.

oner into the machine with him, and
drove to Haarig. The prisoner was
there turned over to Policeman Gross
who delivered him to the Jail.
When taken to the police station,
the prisoner admitted that the check
was a forgery, and stated that his
name instead of being F. A. Johnson,
was Frank Torbin. He said that he
had worked in the Cape for sometime,
and that he was once employed by
Contractor John Rouse in the concrete
work. He admitted that he had never
carried an account in either the local
bank or the Kelso bank
When John Rouse visited the jail to
interview the prisoner, he failed to
recognize him as any of his employees,
and said that he had no recollection of
this man ever having worked for him.
Mr.. Rouse. expressed the belief that
the prisoner is the same party who
forged his signature to check and
passed it on Buckner-Ragsdale sever
al months ago. Torbin answers the
description of the man who worked
the confidence game on Mr.. Lampkin
and he also claimed to have been en-
ployed by Mr.. Rouse.
Mr.. Black has preferred charges
against the prisoner, and he will per-
haps be given a preliminary hearing

thing with him. Before picking up
the package, he examined it from a
safe distance. Then he gathered it in
his right hand, holding the top be-
tween his forefinger and thumb and at
arms length.
He tiptoed to the police station, be-
lieving that sudden jar might ex-
plode the asphyxiating gas, dynamite
or whatever it might contain. Reach
ing the station, Patrolman Talley
walked right into the office of the
chief and placed the sack on table.
Then he wiped his forefinger and
thumb on piece of paper.
Mr.. Talley and Chief Hutson watch
ed the sack for few minutes to see
if it showed any signs of life, but it
didn't. Then they gently opened the
top of it and peeped in.
"1t's full of mached potatoes" ex-
claimed the chief and the two police
men chuckled.
"Come on, Shep," said Mr.. Talley
to his faithful police dog and they de-
parted for Mr.. Talley's camping
grounds on North Broadway.
