tiva.e reasoning powers tho memory
alone has grown. The Rev. Arthur
smith in his Chinese Charactertstics
SAYS that tho ordinary Chinese has no
difficulty in simultaneously accepting
two irreconc.lable propositions lie mas
extraordinary mental hospitality"
DR.. Goodnow had a Chinese teacher
who was hopeless In the matter Of gen
Civilizations. He could not give anything
in the nature OF a rule. This fact has
brought about the queer mental att
tude OF the Chinese.
Another result Of the literary educa-
ton has been the cultivation OF an ex-
traordinary artistic taste, both in arr
and in literary expression. Their whole
system Of painting developed out or
their handwriting The earliest Chinese

writing.
An through the Chinese classics the
empnas!s is upon ethics. The classics
for the children are very different from
ours. Never Is there q reference 10
f~rat,tles and vices OF NEUROLOGICAL
delt,es. This ethical outlook has had
an enormous effect. Tho linking por-
ton Of the community have an essen
TALLY uniform idea OF morality. There
is a big advantage In the iact thst
they have never had any powerful war
ring religious systems 10 compete with
their ethical system.
Buddhism and Taoism are not great
Influences. Never has any heated re-
lig,ous controversy in China tended TO
diminish the force of Confucianism.
To illustrate tho teaching OF mial
piety Or. Goodnow read from The
Book Of F1lial Duty" several little
stories like fables written 1000 years
ago. -.
ono OF rhese was about wv Lung. 8

Another of these fables was TO the

Man Drowned AT
HerriCk Sunday

A man by the name of Ben
johnson was drowned at Herrick
Sunday. He had taken a hatchet
and gone to cut a hole in the ice
in the river to catch some fish
for breakfast telling his partner
that he would be back in an hour.
After waiting nearly two hours
his partner went out to look for
him and found the hatchet on
The ice but no trace of Johnson.
There was a large hole in the
ice near where the hatchet lay
which looked as though a man
had broken through. There also
were marks on the side of the
hole which looked as though he
had clung to the ice for some
time, trying to get out.
The alarm was given and a par
ty of men gathered and spent the
greater part of the day dragging
the river but no trace of the body
could be found.
Johnson had been working for
the Marble Greek Valley railroad
company and had come out from
camp the day before. He had a
check from that company for
about thirty five dollars which he
had cashed that morning and the
money is supposed to have been
on his person at the time of the
accident. He was a stranger
at Herrick and it is not known
wherther he had any relatives or
not.

ROhi Residence
Destroyed By Fire
THOUGHT TO BE OF lNCENOIARY ORIGIN
Trouble Between italian NeiehbOrS Lead To
Charges And Counter Charges

The residence Of Dominica Ro-
hi on Second street on Capitol
Hill was totally destroyed by fire
Saturday night. The fire was
first discovered at half past elev-
en- O'Clock and the whole building
was enveloped in flames when the
alarm was turned in and when
the firemen arrived all that could
be done was to keep the fire from
spreading to the adjoining build
ings.
The fire had gained such head
way before anyone arrived that it
was impossible to ascertain
where it originated. It is thought
that it was of incendiary origin.
Mr.. Rohi, the owner Of the prop
erty, was in st. Joe at the time
the fire occurred. He left for
there Tuesday morning and there
had been no fire in the building
since that time. There is an
Italian settlement where the
house was located and there has
been considerable trouble among
the Italians living in the neigh
borhood. The same building
has been on fire once before but
it was extinguished before much
damage was done. Later the ad-
Joining house owned by FlOrian
Krail. another Italian, caught on
fire but it also was eXtinguished
before any serious damage oc-
cured.
A few days after this fire Krail
swore out a warrant for ROhi
charging him with arson but al
the hearing of the case Rohi was
discharged, there being no evil
dence to connect him with the
fire.
The trouble between the two
men has stirred up considerable
feeling among the Italians as
each has his friends and it i:
feared that matters may go still
further.

cultural department Of the uni
of Idaho snd asker for
statement as TO the kind of crops
best adapted for those locations
and received the following reply
from Prof. Jones.
81 have your letter of November
80 asking for information regard
ing the dyked lands on the st.
Joe river at st. Maries. We have
been over these lands a number
of times and are quite familiar
with the land, the vegetation and
other prevailing conditions. I
am inclined to think that the first
crop on land of that kind might
we'll be oats. l noticed on sim
liar land on the Riverdale tracts
that oats did remarkably we'll at
least for a hay crop. After the
first crop has been harvested and
the rawness of the land some
what destroyed, most any of the
ordinary farm crops adapted to
your climate will do we'll. These
soils are extremely rich in or
ganic matter and. although acid
in character. the nitrogen which
they contain becomes readily
available, hence there may pos
sibly be an overstimulation in
growth. For that reason, it is
doubtful if oats can be grown to
maturity although on the River
dales tracts I have seen them we'll
headed out and standing up per-
fectly straight. ] am sure the
soil will eventually make the
finest trucking soil we have in
the state"

Two Officials
Under Arrest
RESULT STATE HOUSE INVESTIGATION
State Auditor Fred L. Huston And Former Food
Commissioner Wallis Under Arrest

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 9.-State
Auditor Fred l.. Huston was in
dicted tonight by the grand jury
in session here probing state af-
fairs. He was arrested at his
home on a bench warrant issued
out of the district court and fur
nished a $4,000 bond, with Leo
p. Grunbaum and Max Mayfeld,
business men of this city as sure
lies.
While the specific charge in the
indictment was not made public
it is supposed to have been
brought under section 6975 of
the revised code, and chapter IS,
section 3, session laws of 1913,
making it a felony to issue any
false certificates on any voucher
ON which money is to be paid by
the state to secure the payment of
any claim.
The specific instance on which
the true bill was returned is said
to be the payment of a salary
warrant from an expense account
os a subordinate employe of the
pure food and canitary depart
n,ent. James II. Wallis, former
pure food commissioner, already
under arrest on charges contain
ed in two indictments, was joint
ly indicted under the same charge
When asked if he cared to make
statement tonight State Audit

Il will insist on an immediate
hearing. l do not believe I have
done anything wrong in connec-
tion with the operation of my de-
partment. Although I was ar
rested under the charge contain

the Indictment was not read to

therefore, will sign it.
representative Peter G. John
slon and c.. f. Koelsch introduced
and fathered the measure. They
gave this title to it.
An Act-A bill for an act en-
titled an act to provide for the
payment Of officers, members and
employees and for the general ex-
penses of the Thirteenthe ses-
sion of the legislature of the state
of Idaho and declaring an emer-
gency whereby this act shall go
into effect Immediately on its ap-
.proval.
The contents of the act itself
followed and apparently there
was nothing the matter with the
body of the measure. All the
trouble ceniered i'm the title.
When the act reached Govern
or Alexander he did not like the
looks of the title and asked the
attorney general to give his opin-
ion on it-as to whether or not
il complied with the terms of the
constitution.
I'm a three-page letter address,
ed to the governor the attorney
general discussed the title of the
first act passed by the new legis-
lature. He first quotes the title
in full as given above and then
follows with the provision of the
constitution as follows:
Every act shall embrace but
one subject and matters proper
ly connected Herewith, which
subject shall be expressed in the
title: but if one subject shall be
embraced in an act which shall
not be expressed in the title, such
act shall be void only as to sa
much thereof as shall not be EN- =
braced in the title"
The attorney general then says,
among other things, that while
the title was carelessly drawn
and that redundant language was
used" it follows out the intent
of the constitution and it will be
safe for the governor to attach
his signature to it.

ed outside of the regular routine
was the engaging of Miss Marion
