Would you take Bonnie to Amer

Naturally" was the reply.
II thought So" said the shepherd
We'll. I am sorry to disappoint you,
but I can't part with Bennie."
The American went away, but he still
hankered after the dog. Later in the
day he returned prepared to raise his
price. When he got there he was sur
prised to learn from the shepherds wife
that the dog had been sold that after
noon for less than be had offered.
How is that?" he said to the shep-
herd You told me that you wouldn't
sell him"
Nay. nay" said the shepherd Il
said I couldn't part with him. AS 1t is,
Bennie will be back in a day or two;
but he couldn't swim the Atlantic

"will you be able to get supper?
The children are hungry" Morris
head was outlined in black against the
lamp lighted room. Marian had slept
soundly for few minutes and was
dazed with the sudden awakening. She
struggled to a sitting posture only to
fall back faint and helpless on her
pillow.

"Oh, I'll get something" The door
closed and Norris was gone.
Marian lay listening to the rain
beating on the windows and the bang
ing of the shade ratified by the wind.
Her heart ached in sympathy with her
throbbing head.
Morris cares nothing about my suf-
fering. He is concerned alone with the
fact that he is Inconvenience by my

head again appeared in the crack Of the
door.

replied Marian.

Marian as her husband disappeared
from the room. Marian had dozed off
again when the door swung open and
Morris, light in hand, came in.
"Ill bring the baby for you to get

All the rest of the bunch are battened
down for the night" Morris tone was
cheerful. Evidently he had found some

Guard Only Half Paid
On the last day Of Their stay, the
Second Idaho was paid half of the
amount due from the state. The
whole payroll amounted to some
thing like Sill, 500. It was discov-
cred that only $4,000 remained in
the state military fund, and rather
than disburse the full amount and
leave the adjutant generals office
to go ahead on credit for the next
SIX months, it was decided to pay the
boys only half their pay. Hopes
we're held out that the money might
be secured from some source thei
unknown with which TO pay the bal
anee without waiting for the coming
session of the legislature to make an
appropriation. Apparently no one
had thought of trying to find the
money to finance the adiutant gem
erals office from other sources and
thus having funds to pay the states
debt to its departing soldiers.

need no anxiety be felt by the peo-
pie. however, as it is known there
will be sufficient candidates to fill

one or more candidates for each of
the positions to be filed.

tian Herald, rise in green walls be-
hind it. Their tops are sprinkled with
snow, and great rocks show out
through the evergreen trees that cover
their sides. The houses are built on
the rocks.
The harbor is in the shape of half
moon protected by islands It has no
beach to speak of and the business
part of the town rests upon piles. The
streets are planked roadways upon
posts, and mucl, of the freight is car
ried about ON trucks and carts pushed
by men There are several drays
hauled by horses, but horses are I'M
popular, for their shoes roughen the
planks, and they shake the town as
they trot through tho streets. OF late
automobiles and Motor delivery trucks
have come in and these will probably
be the future traffic conveyancers.
The residence section of the city is
located in thu sides Of the cliff higher

climb stairWays to reach certain
streets, while other streets have wind

France Bars Imported Trucks.

The French government recently

the war since August, 1914, at public
auction. The trucks were originally
fitted with motor-bus bodies and were
running IN the streets of Paris.
At mobilization they were com
Wandered and have been used in
transporting meat and other pro
visions. New French-made chassis
have taken their places and the gov.
eminent sold the old trucks. Here.

its intention of using no more import.

This statement shows the district
to be indebted at the present time.
Independent of it's bonded indebted
ness, in the sum of $12,105.S8.
There will be received from the
July taxes and the state apportion-
ment about one-half of this amount.
which will then leave the district
about $6,00O.00 in debt. This
amount represents the difference be-
tween the $2O,201,42 that the new
Lincoln building cost and the S13,-
987.46 received from the sale of the
bonds voted for that purpose. 1t is
then necessary for the board to pro
vide funds for the purpose of operat-
ing the schools from the beginning
of the school year until the first in
stallment Of the 1916 taxes are re
ceived, which is always the middle of
January.
The taxpayers of the district will
realize that to pay interest at from
s to 10 per cent on this amount of
money. as is now necessary to do,
is serious matter, therefore the
board of trustees have decided t.
float a bond issue OF twelve thous
and dollars. which will take care of
this indebtedness at an interest rat
of five per cent. The election is to be
called at once, notice of which will
appear in the next issue of the Elk
aminer, and the people of the dis.
triet will have an opportunity te
authorize the board of trustees to
issue these bonds
Under this method the present
debt will be paid and a sinking fund
established that will pay off the
bonds and save the district money
much quicker than under the present
system.

that this is the first time that any

The figures worked out at this time
gives the total investment OF the
land department in mortgages on
farm loans, school bonds, certificates

Investment in either bonds or land
! mortgages. 1t is interesting to note
that the state land department now
has available cash to the amount of
422,294,0S, awaiting the demand of
those who desire to borrow on their
farm lands. These loans which are
made drawing six per cent interest,
are for long periods, and although
the state is expected to loan but
33 1-3 per cent of the value, still in
many ways has showed itself lenient
as creditor

NEWS NOTES FROM
THE CAPITAL CITY

Boise. July 11.-Boise together
with the rest of the state, feels that
it has given of it's best cause to the
cause of liberty and national unity.
Early Saturday morning the last of
three special trains bearing the mem
beers and officers of the Second Idaho,
were entrained and pulled out for
Nogales, Arizona, where they will be
kept in concentration camp until
ordred to the Mexican border or
elsewhere.
Entraining the Troops
The entraining of the troops at the
railroad station in Boise on Friday
night was the scene of the greatest
gathering ever seen in Idaho. The
streets for blocks around the station
had been jammed with people from a
somewhat earlier hour in the even
ing. People had come in numbers
from as far as Twin Falls and Weiser
while the population OF the Boise
valley were apparently all there. 1t
had been expected that the troops
would all be entrained by nine
O'Clock that night. AS matter of
fact it was midnight bfore the first
battalion pulled out, and the last
train did not leave until nearly two
O'Clock in the morning.
Lunches for the Soldiers
The providing of lunch baskets for
the officers and men of the regiment
was taken in charge of by the Y. w
c. A., although the lunches them
selves were not provided by the So
ciety. AS a matter of fact, the
lunches came from practically all inn
aginable sources. Town women and
country women were joined in this
work of love, and the baskets of food
and delicacies came from the rich
and poor alike. Many of the lunch
baskets, of which there were over
1900, contained cigars and. cigar
cites. The tobacconists of the city
on Friday afternoon gathered pack
ing cases filled with boxes of cigars,
pipes and smoking tobacco, cigar
