FUNERAL OF MRS.
BARNUM IS HELD
South Boise Mourns Death
of Wife of Pastor of
Church.

The funeral of Mrs. William Bar
mum was held at the Second Presbyte-
rian church in South Boise this after
noon at a.: 80 o'clock, Rev. Dr. Barton
officiating, assisted by the other Pres
byterian ministers of the city. The

Peters and William Hendricks; the
honorary pail bearers being the elders
and trustees of the church, A. Wander
Vert, Charles Christopherson, 8. B.
Reel and Charles M. johnson. Burial
was at Morris Hill cemetery.
The passing away of Mrs. Barnum
Friday morning was q blow to the COM
munity of South Boise, as she was
much loved by all who knew her, out
side of her church as we'll as within
that organization.
Her individuality was so strong and
so sweet that even those who knew her
only little feel q deep sense of regret
that she has left their midst. although
they know, as a loved poet has ex-
pressed 1t, she Is not dead, but gone
away"
Before her marriage, Mrs. Barnum
was Miss Mabel Howe. She was born
in Grand Island, Neb., Sept. 9, 1882,
the only child of DR.. and Mrs Theodore
Howe.
When she was three years Of age her
parents moved to Homer, Mich, where
she spent her childhood and It was
there that she became a member of
the Presbyterian church.
She graduated from the Homer high
| cnhnoI "a nd e.
several terms, after which she attended
the Michigan State Normal college and
was graduated from that institution
in 1908.
| Soon after she was married to @. w.
Barnum. and for several years lived in
Chicago, where Mr.. Barnum was en-
gagged in literary work, and where he
later studied for the ministry at Nc
Cormick's Theological seminary.
Mr. Barnum ascribes to his wife's
consecrated influence a large measure
of his decision to enter the ministry
and his success in that work.
After Mr.. Barnums graduation he
took his wife to Bottineau, N. D., where
they had charge of the Presbyterian
church. Two years ago they came to
Boise, where Mr.. Barnum has charge of
the Second Presbyterian church In
South Boise.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Barnum is
survived by her mother Mrs. Gate
wood, Of Texas, and four children,
Ruth, aged years; Grace, aged Z;
Jean, aged 8. and William, aged 2.
From early girlhood Mrs. Barnum
was prominent in religious work and
had ability in literary way. While In
Dakota she was secretary Of the North
Dakota Synodical Missionary society
and chairman of the local Lyceum Lee
ture board in Bottineau. In Boise she
was the secretary of the Inter- church
Council for Women and vice president
of the Boise Presbyterian Missionary
society.

IF the boy corn growers Of Idaho

WHY SHOULD l VOTE
FOR THE ROADS BONDS?

federal department. All work must
be done by contract and up to a Ger.
tain standard of construction which
insures the minimum expense of
maintenane. When completed the
roads are maintained by the state
and the entire state pays the ex~
pense, thereby reducing the eXpend-
ituras by the counties.
The question the taxpayer will ask
Is what effect will this have upon
our taxes. In answer To this most
important question we have to say
that the effect will be "A reduction In
taxes and no increase over the pres
ent levies for several years to come
Lemhi county will collect from the
taxpayers for the year 1916 the sum
of slS, 400 for road purposes, he as
sessed valuation being approximately
IS, 255, 900 and the levy three-and-a-
half mills. In addition TO this we re-
ceiyed SO, O24 from the forest service
and 81, 220 from automobile licenses
this year, which will make the total
sum available for roads in l9l7 not
less than s23, 800.
Now suppose that we eliminate the
Gust of maintenance on these two
roads and estimate that the bonds
will sell for per cent aud that We
Will have to begin paying them In
ten years and pay them after at the
rate OF ten per cent of the principal
per year. We would have to pay out
a total of S265, 500 in twenty years.
/ Since we would have TO pay 81, 500
annually for interest and set aside
some portion OF the principal We
could invest the part set aside for
principal for the hrst ten years at
per cent In the deposits of the l0caI
banks and by so doiGR only ~, 50t
would be necessary 10 SCI aside each
year for principal, or sl2,000 out 0i
next years road fund leaving 81, ,6U
for the maintenance Of roads which
have heretofore received little or nt
attention at ali.

present assessed valuation Of fhe
