"a HORSES PURCHASED.
Inspection Monday at Georges Livery
so Horses Brought in-Prices Good.

Out of sixty horses brought in to
George 8 Livery last Monday to the in
spection of the contractors and army
buyers, twenty-four were accepted and
considering the type of horses and the
general demand for that type they
brought good price at $40 and $115
The kind of horses desired on this oc-
casion We're cavalry horses and the OPP
portunity was afforded to sell light
horses for which there is small demand
in these days of automobiles and steam
tractors.
The parties buying were Chicago con
tractors and the horses are for the use
of the Allies. On account of the short
notice given of the inspection the mum
Der brought in was not large but later
another inspection may be held. The

in the Clearwater section and from here
went to White Bird where they will

Railway Officials to Leave Butte For
For Salmon River Country Soon.

The idea of the building of north
and south Idaho railroad which has
been developed so rapidly of late is
attracting the attention of railroad
builders. Once construction is COM
meneed it is evident that not only the
Pacific & Idaho Northern but also the
Idaho Northern with terminus at. Nc
Call, and also the Gilmore & Pittsburg
now built as far as Salmon, would be
deeply interested. In connection with
this the Salmon City Herald last week
said:
General Manager B. o. johnson of
the Gilmore & Pittsburg in the near
future will leave for Butte, where he
will join a large party of prominent
Northern Pacific officials who leave
that city for an important trip ov,r the

johnson is the general manager. The

to Mr.. johnson, and will traverse the
whole line of the newly acquired feeder,
holding meetings in connection with ag-
ricultural possibilities of the region
The members of the party will also
endeavor to ascertain the class of i'm
migration required in that locality. In
speaking of the proposed trip Mr.
johnson was quite optimistic as to the
good that would be accomplished for
that section, which is said to have
boundless resources for development
along agricultural lines. The party will

UP FROM HIGGINS.

Charley Clay the prominent sheep and
stock man of the Higgins country was
in town the first of the week and paid
the office pleasant visit. He states
that crop and range conditions in the
Salmon river country were never bet
ter and on account of the abundant
rains the dry bars down on the river
are producing bumper crops this year.
Mr. Clay stated that hail storm did
some damage down in that section re-
Gently and that John Rice was hit hard
The damage done by the storm did not
cover an extensive territory, however,
which is fortunate. Mr.. Clay is one of
the biggest boosters of the Salmon river
section and his home at Higgins andsis
especially anxious to see north and
south wagon road completed through
that section even though a railroad
may be far away.

BETTER MAIL FACILITIES FOR
LIT. IDAHO.

Advertisements have been posted this
week for the letting of the star route
from Grangeville to Mt. Idaho. The
new advertisement calls for six-day-
a-week service and is for a period of
four years. A flat bid is asked for and
as the fourth class mail to that point is
very light, it is an easy matter to figure
the cost of operation. The present
service is three times week and no
doubt the increased service will be
greatly appreciated by the public.

Statesman Makes Denial.

Sunday s Boise Statesman printed a
denial of the above alleging that all
statements to the effect that an add
tional shortage of $4,000 in the state
treasury had been discovered by him,
as published in the Capital News were
denied by James s. Bogarth in a state
ment made by him to the Statesman
Saturday night. The matter printed in
the Statesman was as follows:
Mr.. Bogart said he had been work
ing on the books but half day and
had no idea what the shortage amount
ed to. He declared that so far as the
Investigations he had made thus far
concerned, he did not even know of his
own personal knowledge whether the
original $4,000 shortage existed.

eral Peterson and the governor to GO

for the collection of the $4,000 short

found some Irregularities there but ]
could not say whether there is any

admitted by Allen and Coleman. 81
far as I am concerned, my investiga
tion has not proceeded far enough tt

sum. The Irregularities l have found

Warden Shook of the state peniten
tiary questioned both Allen and Cole
man as to the alleged additional short
age, and receipts would be found in
the auditors office for anything In
addition to that. They told the warden
the records of coupons on bond held
by the state would check absolutely.

ALICE FURTHER
SHORTAGE OF
$4,000
FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF
STATE TREASURY BEING MADE
NEW SHORTAGES ALLEGED.
EXPERT CONDUCTING WORK
Capital News Makes Statement That
Shortage of $4,000 Found and Boise
Statesman Prints Denial.

Saturdays Capital News make the
of the state treasury is under way and
alleges that last Friday the startling dis
closure was made that the shortage in
the state treasury is SIT, l72s2 more
than formerly announced. The state
ment is as follows: This disclosure is
the result of an investigation of the
transactions of o. V. Allen, self con
fessed defaulting treasurer now serv-
ing a term in the state penitentiary,
and his partner in crime, Fred M. Cole
man, q self confessed embezzler while
deputy state treasurer, also in the state
penal institution, made by James >
Bogart who has been commissioned
through an agreement reached between
Governor Alexander and Attorney Gen
eral Peterson to investigate all trans
actions of the defaulting officials while
they were connected with the depart
ment to determine definitely just what
the total shortage is. This is necessary
before the state can take steps to col
lect and recover under Aliens and
Coleman s respective bonds
After a 10 days examination of the
state treasury Axel p. Ramstedt, presi-
dent of the public utilities commission
authorized by Governor Haines then
chief executive, disclosed a shortage of
$93,11203. 1t was admitted at the
time this was probably not the total
shortage. 1t was also announced at
the time the defalcation was discovered
that the shortage if traced down would
be over 100000. This investigation
that is now being conducted by Mr.
Bogart indicates this will be the case
He has but started on his examination
taking over the work yesterday, and
the first item he found showed the al
legged theft of over $4,000, which add
ed to the shortage heretofore iisco>
cred brings the total to over 100000
Probably one of the more interesting
features of the discovery is that the
$17,172.82 steal was made in July
1913, while the shortage found . by the
other experts was confined to 1914 Oh
from January of that year up and unit
July 81.
How Money Was Taken.
The $17,172.82 shortage came tt
light when the ledger was examined
Heretofore the cash book which Cole
man is said never to have allowed any
one else to work on besides either him
self or Allen, was accepted and ths
shortage discovered from that. Mr.
Bogart went back to 1913 for star
on his examination. He found there al
item of $8ss60s as having been enter
ed as money paid out of the general
interest and sinking fund at the end OF
the month to meet bond coupons as
