THUS ENDS THE 18TH
IDAHO LEGISLATURE

Boise, March 8.-The thirteenth
session of the legislature adjourned
at 1880 tonight with the usual last
night revels in each house. The
house was particularly joyful while
waiting for the senate's final action
on appropriation bills. The feature
of the senate session was an attack
by McBeth Of Custer on the comm
issioner of education. The Lewis
ton Normal item was increased by
$9450 in the main item. It was
explained this was for rural training
schools which had been previously
eliminated as special item. The
Normal appropriation is $129, ,433
as against $160,549 in the bill as
introduced. The salary of the CO.
mmissioner of education was reduc-
ed from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
With no changes from the report
of the finance committee, the senate
this morning passed the general ap-s
preparation bill carrying $610 ,273.-
40. 1t also passed the charitable
and penal institution appropriation
bill, carrying 1851 900 or $4,000 less
than when received from the house;
the. def cheney bill, carrying $751;
437.74, and the appropriation for
improvements at the state house,
calling for $4,000. The deficiency
bill had already been approved by
the house.
There was more opposition to the
charitable and penal institutions ap-
preparation bill. The house APP
preparations committee was unanim-
Gus in favorable report on it, but
the vote was 35 to %. The bill
was little changed as it came from
the senate. The only amendment
there was the striking out of $500
of improvements at the soldiers
home.
1t was on the acceptance of the
conference agreement on the educa-
tional bill that acute opposition
developed in the house. The report
was adopted 81 to 20. MCGOWAN
of Latah led an attack on it, object.
ing to the action Of the committee
in striking out $4,000 it was proposed
to appropriate for Investigations by
the forestry department of the state
university. Chairman Randall of
the committee replied that the house
members had stood for keeping the
item, but it was at the suggestion
of Senator Day of Latah that it was
stricken out.

Swat Thsa It Fly

Uncle Sam is waging relentless
war on the deadly house-fly and in
a late bulletin prepared by the Dep
artment of Agriculture, valuable in
formation is given on the best means
of combating this deadly pest. The
most effective way Of exterminating
the fly according to the bulletin, is
to eradicate his breeding places.
The breeding season of the fly beg
ins early in March and continues
throughout the spring and summer
months. All dirt should be removed
from the premises. stables cleaned
and decaying vegetables be destroy
ed.
The fly has rightly been called
the under takers travelling sales
man, and in addition to his regular
line of typhoid bugs" he carries
a side line of tuberculosis, Asiatic
Cholera and other disease germs.
Now is the time to swat the fly"

Governor Going East

Boise, March 9.-Today official
Boise is settling down to dull rou-
tine and from now on the state
house officials will devote their
time to readjusting themselves to
the new laws passed by the 18TH
legislature. Considerable uneasi-
ness is manifested in official circles
as to what the governor will do
with several appropriation measures
before him.
There is some fear that he may
use the knife in trimming some of
them still further, supplementing
the cuts made by the legislature.
He is almost certain to pare items
in the educational budget as well
as in the general appropriations
measure.
The governor today signed several
house bills but made no vetoes.
1t is understood that the Gem
county bill and the fish and game
bill are among those which will
meet with his disapproval.
With the close of the legislature
he has ten days instead of five in
which to either approve or veto.
Both Lieutenant Governor Taylor
and Speaker Conner will remain
here for a period cleaning up the
work of both houses.
/ Governor Alexander expects to
leave for the east during this month
and during his absence Lieutenant
Governor Taylor will act as chief
executive.

A Trip to Peck

Last Friday evening the girls
basket ball team of Kendrick High
School was defeated in a match
game with the High School at Peck.
The game was called at 500
sharp. Both teams started in vig-
orously but on account of a misun-
derstanding about the side lines
Peck was allowed to throw the first
basket and in few minutes threw
a foul making the score 3 to 0 in
favor of Peck. The next few min
utes both teams worked hard, but
at last Kendrick shot basket and
then a foul making the score tie.
Kendrck girls were encouraged by
this and succeeded in throwing an.
other foul. But Peck was not dis
couraged and commenced to "pep
up" the results being that they
gained two more points, after which
the whistle blew, calling time up,
and the girls left the floor with
score to 5 in Peck's favor.
The second half was just as fast
and quite as exciting for both audi
ence and players. In fact, one Of
the Kendrick players became so en-.
thusiastic that Peck was awarded
point because of her roughness.
Thus the game proceeded first one
team being ahead and then the
other. But as Kendrick shot her
last basket the whistle was blown
calling, time up, again and the score
stood 7 to 8 in favor of Peck. Peck
had won and our girls were disap-
pointed but no roasting followed
and they took their defeat quite
cheerfully. They then formed a
circle and gave the winning team a
rousing yell, after which the win
ners did the same for the loosers.
After the game social was CIV
en- and greatly enjoyed by all pres
ent. Kendrick was well treated
and all report a good time. Our
High School girls expect to accord
the same courteous treatment, in
cluding the score, to the girls from
Peck when they meet in Barnum's
Hall next Friday evening. :

known people as Buck Orchard and
Orline McDonagh are in the cast
with more than usual support.
Special scenery effects help along
an already successful play, and
many novel musical novelties are
introduced. We hear good reports
from the towns already played and
look forward to fine play. Popu-
lar prices will prevail.

Uniform Laws Adopted

Lewiston Tribune. Idaho has now
adopted six of the uniform state
laws as prepared by the National
Conference of Commissioners on
State Laws and approved by the A.
merican Bar association; such laws
being the negotiable instrument
law adopted in 1903 and the follow
ing adopted at the thirteenth ses-
sion: Warehouse receipts, bills of
lading, stock transfer, sales of per-
sonal property, and partnership.
All these laws have been adopted
by many of the states, the neogti-
able instrument law, the oldest one,
by most of the states.
Uniform laws chat have been also
prepared by the commissioners and
approved by the American Bar asso-
citation are: Divorce; child labor;
family desertion; probate of for
eign wills; marriage evasion, adop-
ted by some states, and the commits
sioners have under consideration
many other subjects, namely: Cor
porations; foreign corporations;
conveyances Of real estate; wills;
documents; disslution; cold storage;
highways; automobiles; doctors and
nurses; vital and penal statistics;
procedure and practice; poor laws;
taxation, and similar subjects.
When it is considered that in Ida
no $4,000 and $4,000 has been ex-
pended on a local commission to
draft single law it can be appre-
ciated what a public benefit is the
national conference, which secures
the wisdom of authors. instructors
and practitioners of all the states
who perform their duties gratis.
Some of the states appropriate a
mounts to pay expenses of the ma
tional conference for printing cor
respondence, drafting, etc., and
Idaho has just appropriated 5000
for the next two years. This places
Idaho we'll in line to secure the
benefits of the greatest present-day
force in general legislation, the re-
suits of which have doubtless cost
in time and money given gratis,
100000.
The careful process by which these
acts are prepared is shown in the
preparation of a revision of the
partnership act and the discussion
of the same at each annual national
conference for the years 1910 to
1914 inclusive and in the four an
nual revisions already issued of the
corporation act, not yet approved,
and the pendency of some subjects
with the annual reports much
longer than that without yet first
draft prepared. The usual process
without such aid is for some inter-
ested party to rush into a law Office
about the middle of the 60-day ses-
sion of the legislature and ask for
bill covering some single difficult
. ty recently experienced to be draf-
ted for the next train to Boise, the
, enactment of which would unsettle
, enough law in various ways to keeI
the courts busy at great public ex'
, pense, and possibly impoverish g
large number of litigants.
The commissioners from Idaho tt
the national conference have fol
many years been Hon. James E
Babb of Lewiston, Hon. W. w
Woods of Wallace and Hon. Ere
mont Wood of Boise.

Why We Prune

We prune to modify the vigor of
our trees and produce larger and
better fruit. You have, no doubt,
heard men say that you should nev-
er prune a tree. They claim that
under normal conditions all trees
will grow thrifty and produce
abundantly if never pruned by man.
If such a condition really exists it
surely would be a great economical
advantage, to the orchard men, but
experience teaches us that systema-
tic pruning is essential in every or
chard.
The time to begin pruning tree
is not the year it comes into bear
ing or the year before but every
tree should be pruned each year
from the time it is planted in the
orchard. Every orchardist has his
ideas by which he establishes the
shape of his trees. In order to
grow tree to a definite form
pruning must be started while the
tree is young. Most commercial
orchardists at the present time are
growing the low headed type of
trees; that is the lowest limb is 16
to 20 inches above the ground.
The limbs of course, should be
evenly distributed about the trunk
of the tree to eliminate bad crotch
es. Five scaffold limbs properly
placed forms we'll shaped tree.
There are three forms in which
fruit trees may be trained and
each type has it's advantages and
disadvantages. They are the open
center, central leader, and two story
tree. The open center is probably
the most favored at the present
time. The statement has often been
made that the proper time to prune
a tree is whenever the knife or saw
is sharp. If such a rule was fol
lowed, some trees would never see
saw and others would be badly
butchered. The best time to prune
is in the early spring or late winter,
altho late fall pruning is some times
practiced. In some localities, the
fruit does not become highly col
ored, and we have found it neces-
sary to prune such trees for in.
creased color by means of summer
pruning. Summer pruning does
not mean to prune at any time ir
the summer that the orchardist may
see fit to do the work. The proper
time to do the summer pruning il
after the terminal buds have set
If pruning is done before the ter
minal buds are set, the tree will
continue it's growth and send out ;
rosette of twigs on the limbs tha
have been pruned, such twigs are
apt to winter kill. The summer
pruning should be as light as pos
sible but should open the tree t.
admit the sunlight.
In pruning the orchard, system
attic plan should be followed. New
er practice heavy pruning as it will
make the trees irregular. Prun
for definite shaped tree; cut ou
the dead or diseased parts, inter
locking branches and keep the tire
headed back. All large cuts shoul'
be painted to prevent the attack
} of insects and fungus diseases.
