KEEPING HIS PROMISES.

Members of the legislature and the
people throughout the state In gen
eral are finding out that the pre-elec-
ton promises made by Governor AL
eXander were no idle boasts. but that
he is fulfilling them as far as is in
his power so to do
Already several bills calling for
large appropriations have been We
toed by the governor. and he threat
ems to set his stamp of disapproval
upon others that are pending A bill
was passed appropriating sum in
aid of the Lewiston Livestock show.
which was sent back to the legislat-
ure with veto message from the
governor. Good reasons were as
signed for his acts I'm this instance.
for if the bill became law II would
set a precedent for other fairs to ask
and expect assistance from the state.
II was not because the show was not
deserving OF assistance that caused
the governor to exercise his veto
power. but because he had promised
the people of the state to give them
one administration in the states his
tory wherein appropriations of funds
and expenditures should be held
down somewhere near the necessities
of the states legitimate expenditures
II is not thought that the legislat-
ure will pass the measure over tho
veto. but If II does It will be sQuarely
up to the dominant party as TO whe'
ther they are really in earnest about
economy in state affairs or not.

ANOTHER STATE APPOINTEE
APPARENTLY GONE WRONG
Statesman.

Charged with embezzlement of
state funds to the amount of $3SS3O,
\. a. Harris. chief deputy game war
den under former Wardens Barber
and Gowen. was placed under arrest
Monday. The complaint against him
was brought by the present warden.

court of Justice of the Peace White.
Constable Van Dorm served the war

Mr.. Harris put up $1,000 cash
bond for his appearance He says
he can make settlement at any
time and would have done so before.
but did not because his accounts do
not check with those in the game
warden's office. a difference of ap-
proximately 500 existing between
them.
The money Mr.. Harris is said by
Warden Jones to have embezzled is
due to the fish and game fund from
the sale OF hunting and fishing IL
oenses. Such licenses are issued by
the department and placed on sale
at many points In Idaho and nearby
states by the warden and his depu-
ties. Sporting goods houses and
other merchants handle them and as
they are sold returns are made tc
the deputies from whom they wer,
secured
Mr.. Jones charges that Mr. Harri.
has failed to turn over funds so re
ceived from the sale of licenses. TIL,
present warden took over the offic,
January 20, and he says the allege,
shortage was discovered at tina
time. but no immediate action wa
taken because Mr.. Harris assure,
him he would be able to make prope

Mr. Harris declares the charge is
made for political effect.
Il have 80 different accounts of
licenses placed on sale" said Mr..
Harris. "and many of them have not

accounts are outside of the state,

Oregon. They have received licenses

ATTENTION FARMERS.

II you are interested in the eradi-
cation OF the hog cholera pest on the
tract, you are invited to attend =
meeting which will be held at the
town hall in Jerome on Saturday
next. February 27th. to discuss this
very important question.
The meeting is called at the In
stance OF DR.. Sullivan, who has
charge OF the government work In
this section OF the state, and DR.. l..
c. Henderson, who is associated In
the work will be present and address
the meeting. There has been too
much laxity in the enforcement of
this work on the tract, as there SEEM
ingly is lack of interest among the
farmers, and II this situation con-
tinues, the government will be COM
PEELED to give up the work here, az
il is useless TO try TO eradicate this
plague without the unanimous sup
port OF the farmers, who are the
ones directly interested in this mat
ter.
The time is shortly coming when
an outbreak OF this plague on the
tract may be expected and as an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure. the time for actual work is
at hand. Our hog raisers cannot ar
ford 10 ignore this important mat
ter, and for this reason all are In
vited 10 be present at this meeting

OPPOSE CHANGES IN HOG RATES

Proposed advances in passenger
rates and a raise by the Salt Lake
route on hogs shipped into southern
California have resulted in a decision
by the public utilities commission to
appear before the interstate COM
merce commission I'm the interest OF
this state.
Local rates from Idaho points to
Salt Lake and the rate OF the Salt
Lake route from thence south on ap-
ply on Idaho shipments. The matter
is now in the hands OF the interstate
commerce commission.
The proposed increase OF s24
car has been suspended by the inter
state commerce commission.
The utilities commission believes
the hog business in Idaho has reach
ed sufficient dimensions TO Justify u
through rate to southern California
points and Will make an effort TO Sc
cure this benefit.
An advance OF s24 car would
mean practically an increased ex-
pense OF 80 cents to 40 cents on each
head shipped to southern California.
There are nearly 100000 head OF
hogs raised In Idaho each year and
a great portion are shipped to Cali
fornia.
The commission has also been ad-
vised that certain carriers have pro-
posed an advance on passenger rates
affecting western states to become
effective March /. 1t has interviewed
in this protest slso.-Statesman.

Bounty on Predatory Animals.

Should the measure receive the
sanction of the governor. which II is
thought quite likely. a bounty will
hereafter be paid to hunters who kill
off these plundering and pillaging
beasts on presentation of the proper
identifcations with the state veteri-
marian.
The measure is one that has at
tracted not little interest. II is one
OF importance to stock and sheep
men and they have been active in
behalf of the bill. The measure had
been pending in the senate for some
time. 1t was discussed at length In
committee of the whole, amended and
finally passed by the senate last week.

The question of raising sugar
beets on the tract is again being dis
cussed as a result of a visit here last
week from H. R. Emmett, who is
connected with the sugar factory al
Burley. Mr. Emmett's visit here
was for the purpose OF getting the
sentiment OF some of the farmers re-
garding the raising of this crop. 1t
is quite necessary that the beets be
planted on land that has been in al
falfa. and it is his desire to get the
farmers having this kind of land in
terested. believing it to be the best
paying crop that can be raised.
Last year the company at Burley
paid out many thousands of dollars
to the farmers of that section for
this crop. The average yield in that
section was over u tons TO the acre.
which brought the farmers $3.50 per
ton. One farmer raised as high as
26 tons TO the acre. but this is con-
sidered as exceptional. This year
the company, Notwithstanding that
some thought the sugar industry was
ruined by placing sugar on the free
list. will pay $500 per ton for the
beets delivered at the railroad sta
tion.
Mr. Emmett in his conversation
stated that he was anxious TO con-
tract for at least 500 acres in this
section, and if this could be secured
the company would erect a dump
station here which would greatly ia
cilitate the unloading of the beets as
brought TO the station by the farm
ers Should an acreage be secured
here. the company will send experts
here TO oversee the crop and assist
the farmers in properly taking care
of it, In addition to this Mr.. En-
nett states that parties stand ready
to lease alfalfa ground for this pur-
pose, and will pay a rental OF SIC
per acre for the same II conveniently
located.
OF course no definite conclusions
were reached by this representative
as his visit was only a preliminary
one. but it is quite likely that he vii
return later on and talk the matter
over more fully with the farmers. IL
the meantime ii is we'll for those VIII,
think they might become interested
TO think the matter over and get al

President Wilson that no extra ses-

Referring to the success OF this
industry. We give space below TO a
letter received yesterday morning
from ]. V Lewis. who is we'll known
on the tract and who has had expert
cnce at raising sugar beets. Mr.
Lewis says:
20 the Farmers in and near Jerome:
Why not raise sugar beets? From

pay profit of from S25 to $50 per
acre. have also found that wher-
cN er the sugar beet industry thrives.
