alter that word reached Col. w.
Fl. Edelblute there was stir
about headquarters heretofore un-
known. All was excitement and
scenes ordinarily encountered only
IN war times were enacted.
The companies were drilling on
the parade grounds, but recall was
sounded at the command of the
colonel and on his orders company
officers were instructed 10 hold
their men in camp until all had
been mustered into service. Lieut..
Max CARRIER, u s. A f, was called
to regimental headquarters and
asked why he had not informed
the officers OF the penalty for
failure to muster in the guardsmen
before July Lieut., CARRIER denied
that the regiment would be held il
not in the federal service before
midnight, but to make sure of his
point he wired the war department
for a ruling. 1t had not been re.
ceived at late hour Friday night.
Col. Edelblute, following con-
ference with other officers of the
regiment, decided it was not best
to wait until Lieut.. CARRIER could
hear from Washington, and the
work of signing up the enlisted
men in the different companies
and making up the rolls was started
at once with view of having them
mustered in before 1859 Friday
night Before 8 O'Clock it was
learned the task could not be end
ed by that time and it was decided
to let the musteringin of the regi.
ment go over until today.
The work of making up the rolls
did not stop, however, when the
word was passed that the regiment
would not be mustered in until
Saturday. All staff, company and
non commissioned officers burned
midnight candles in an effort TO
get the rolls completed before this
morning.
Saturday morning there were
1909 enlisted men and 81 officers
in camp, bringing all companies
over the required peace strength of
65 men each.

D. w. Davis
Taxless Plan
Republican Candidate for Governor
Spent Saturday Here.

D. w. Dayis, banker of American
Falls, southeastern Idaho, spent las
Saturday in Rathdrum in the interes,
Of his candidacy for the republican
nomination for governor. He called
on large number of people during
the day, and in the evening addressed
a hurriedly arranged meeting at the
high school building.
Here Mr.. Davis explained in
detail his plan, which if adopted, he
is absolutely certain will make Idaho
taxless. The plan is to sell about
1000, 900 acres of state lands in
three years time, invest the money
and by saving and reinvesting the
interest, adding it to the principal
for period of anywhere from "a to
o6 years, create an immense fund,
the interest from which, he said,
would pay all the expenses Of gov
ernment in Idaho. He says the tax
less goal could be reached in "a
years when the fund, according to his
calculations should reach the sum Of
$780, 900, invested at 6 per cent
interest.
Mr.. Davis said he was very
sanguine of republican success in the
nation and state this year. Refer
ring to the prohibition constitutional
amendment he urged that every
qualified elector vote for it and thus
help in the effort to settle the liquor
problem right for all time. He also
urged better spirit of cooperation
among farmers in the advancement
of their own interests.
Referring to his own candidacy.
Mr.. Davis said if he is nominated
and elected he would go into office
unhampered by any promises of ap-
pointments and free to devote his
energies to bring about the adoption
of his plan to make Idaho taxless.
He said he had studied the plan for
several years as it has long been used
successfully by individuals and pri-
vate corporations. Its application
to states, he said, was entirely prac-
tical and had it been adopted by the
eastern states years ago when dis
posing Of their lands, he said they
would now be taxless.
Mr.. Davis asked that he be not
mistaken for Captain E. G. Davis of
Boise. who is also candidate for the
republican nomination for governor.
