CLEANUP WEEK
DESIGNATED
Governor Issues Proclamation
Naming Week of April 9-l5
as Cleanup Week for Ida
no Towns and Cities.

Health and attractiveness of
communities demand that follow
ing the close Of the winter sea-
son and before the beginning of
the summers heat there should
be a general cleaning up of un-
clean deposits of animal and
vegetable matter, and other
debris which can not be prevent
ed from accumulating by any
measure of precaution that can
be enforced, in order that filthy,
unclean, unhealthful and insight
ly conditions may not prevail,
generating and spreading disease
and breeding pestilential insects.
1t is deemed advisable and
most conductive to a general rem
ovation whereby no one may have
excuse for delay or negligence to
the detriment and danger to the
health of himself, his family, or
of his neighbors, to set apart a
week wherein all good citizens
are called upon not alone to see
that their own premises are set
in order, but that a wholesome
and effective community spirit
may be created. =
Therefore, l. M. ALEXANDER,
Governor of the State of Idaho,
do designate and set apart the
week beginning April 9, and end
ing April Is, as CLEAN UP
WEEK" for the State of Idaho,
and l do call upon all citizens and
all communities to give every
possible effort toward making
effective the spirit and purpose
of this proclamation by devoting
their time, attention and energies
to a cleansing and renovation of
premises belonging to and ada
cent to their places of abode,
In TESTIMONY WHEREOF, l
have hereunto set my hand and
caused the great seal of the state
to be affixed this eleventh day of
March, 1916.

Rena Rhoades Called Beyond

The sad news was received
here Wednesday of the death at
an early hour that morning of
Miss Rena. Rhoades at the st.
Joseph hospital in Lewiston fol-
lowing a long illness from chronic
appendicitis. The young lady,
who was born and raised in this
vicinity, was too weak when
taken to the hospital to stand an
operation and Drs. Morris, Nurse
and Johnson could only make an
incision and relieve her of pain
until such time as she was able
to withstand the operation. She
continued to fail, however, and
passed quietly away at $3.50
o'clock Wednesday morning.
Her main desire during her ill
ness was to get we'll and move
back to her home in Cottonwood
and with this in view she held
up courage until the last. Her
cheerful disposition and lively
spirit all through her illness will
be long remembered by those
who warn ar hnr hndsidn

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lafay-
cite Rhoades and was born at
Denver on May 9th, 1898,
and died April 5th, 1916. She
grew to womanhood in this city
and was noted for her pleasant
and cheerful disposition and fine
qualities, numbering among her
friends all of the young people
of the surrounding country. She
was the pride of her parents
hearts and sadness will fill the
hearts of many friends over her
untimely departure. She leaves
her parents and one sister, be-
sides many friends, to mourn her
loss.
The remains were brought to
this place on last nights train
and were inferred in the local
cemetary this morning, the
funeral being held from the Meth
odist church at II o'clock.

parents, several brothers and sis

large number of personal friends.
Six young ladies of the parish

young friend to her last resting

DR.. Givens Not Be Removed

The report emanating last week
from Boise to the effect that DIR.
j. w. Givens, head of the Oro-
fino asylum, was to be deposed
was evidently the outgrowth of
the desire of certain persons and
was not founded on facts, as the
trustees of the asylum had not
even considered such a move.
The trustees visited the asylum
last week at the same time the
governor was present and found
things there to be in a very sat-
isfactory condition. The trustees
will go to Blackfoot the last of
the present week to look over the
asylum at that place and see if
arrangements cannot be made to
transfer some of the inmates OF
the Orofino asylum to the latter
place, as the northern asylum is
over crowded while the Blackfoot
institution has but very few in
mates at present.
