TO CARRY IDAHO'S
VOTE TO COLLEGE
Harry L. Day and Frank
Martin Will Probably
Make Trip to Washington
and Cast Electoral Ballot.

At least two of the four presiden-
tial electors named at the last gem
eral election to cast the four electoral
votes of Idaho for President Woodrow
Wilson desire to go to Washington
and perform that ceremony when the
electoral college meets. They are
Harry l.. Day of Wallace and Frank
Martin of Boise. Senator elect John
II. Pincock OF Madison county,
prominent business man of Rexburg,
who is in the city, stated yesterday
that both of the electors named have
asked him for his proxy. Senator
elect Pincock is also a presidential cleo
tor but he will be unable to make the
trip to Washington, owing to the fact
that his Legislative duties will hold
him in Boise in January and February.
The federal government pays the ex-
penses and mileage of one elector
from each state to attend the electoral
college and cast each states vote. For
Idaho that means the expenditure of
$1100 for rs cents mile is allowed.
The electors wilr meet in Boise on the
second Tuesday in January at which
they will select one of the four cleo
tors named to go to Washington. The
electoral college meets on the second
Tuesday in February.
DISCUSS PATRONAGE.
1t is known that Mr.. Day expects to
be in the east at about the time the
college convenes. and will be in Wash
ington at that time. He has to make
a business trip there. David l.. Evans
of Malad is the fourth Idaho elector.
He, too, desires to go, it is said. The
matter will be settled when the four
electors have their conference in
Boise.
Senator elect Pincock was accom-
panied to the city by Arthur Porter,
editor of the Current Journal, Rex
burg. They held a conference with
the governor regarding the dispensing
of patronage and discussed political
matters. Senator Pincock defeated
Senator Nathan Kicks one of the Re-
publican leaders of the eastern part
of the state.

persons furnishing services or supplies
in connection with the surveys. The
Idaho Trust & Savings bank was the
owner and in possession of SO of such
certificates which had been assigned to
it by the original owi.ers.
WOULD RECOVER JUDGMENT.
A judgment was entered Jan. Is, 1906,
and was appealed from by the Nampa
G. Meridian Irrigation district, and af-
firmed, in the case of the Farmers Co
operative Ditch company versus the
Nampa & Meridian Irrigation district.
Thereafter certain other defendants
moved for a new trial. Their motion
was denied and they appealed, were
granted a rehearing for the sole pur-
pose of determining the duty of water
on the two classes of land involved,
bench and bottom lands. On Jan. II,
1912, the Idaho Trust & Savings bank
brought suit against the defendant to
recover the amount of the judgment for
costs entered against him, $962.50 with
interest. The lower court held Riden-
baugh liable for the amount of the
Judgment and an appeal was taken. TIE
Judgment is affirmed.
SECOND CASE SIMILAR.
The legal steps leading up to the ap-
peal in the second case, Idaho Tust &c
Savings bank versus the Nampa & Me-
ridian Irrigation district, are similar to
those in the former case. This is an
appeal from a personal Judgment enter
ed in favor of the bank for the sum of
$131S.97. 1t was consolidated with tho
appeal in the first case named. The
court says concerning the decision in
this case
There is no merit in appellants
CNampa Il Meridian Irrigation districD
contention that the judgment for costs
sued upon does not constitute a liqui-
dated claim in favor of respondents, and
therefore they would not be entitled to
interest. The judgment for costs upon
which respondents action is based has
been twice passed upon by this court
and held to be valid in both cases, and
