related returned to his duties of
adjutant generating at Boise in dis
consulate spirit. doc" Jackson had
been cumming the cards.
1t is further asservated that DR..
Moody's plan to be speaker inter
feres with Frank McBride's scheme
to forsake the county commission
ership to which he was recently re-
elected in Bonner county for the
wardenship at the state penitentiary
which he will find when he arrives
IN Boise about Sunday evening has
been glued down by one C. o. Boxon
if he wants it and which is to go
to the deep southeast if "Brox"
doesn't want it. Anyway, it was
and is self-evident that Moody can
not be speaker and Mcbride warden
and both from the county of Bon
ner, and so it can be readily seen
that Mcbride is not entirely in SYM
pathy with docs" aspiration and
very likely, while doc" has been
down at the state house being adj
jutant general and lining up the
push for the speakership, Mcbride
has been busy at home undermining
him with the home delegation. That,
at least, would be the natural infer
ence from the strained relationship
said to exist at the present time
between the leaders of the .ocal

WOULD BE
AN APPRAISER
V. STANLEY MAY SECURE
COVETED APPOINTMENT
FROM FEDERAL BOARD
HAS MADE AN APPLICATION
Proposed Bank to Be Located at
Boise or Spokane, Wash.

The following appeared Sunday in
the Spokesman Review:
The tip has come to Spokane dem
ocrats that whether any one else
from the eastern Washington-north-
ern Idaho is recognized or not in
connection with the patronage of the
northwestern farm loan bank, J. V.
Stanley of Boomers Ferry is likely
to be taken care of. Stanley as
pires to the position of appraiser
and is said to rely upon the per-
sonal friendship of two members of
the national farm loan board.
The Boomers Ferry man was re-
Gently nominated by democrats as
one of their two candidates for con-
gress in Idaho.
Queried in regard to the item this
morning Mr.. Stanley, who is Boun-
dairy county's auditor and clerk, ad-
mitted that he had made application
for the position anu would neither
deny or affirm that ne had any
assurances of being appointed. Mr..
Stanley states that the salary in
connection with the appointment is
between $500 and $4,000 per an
mum. The fedeal farm loan board
appoints five directors of the farm
loan bank, the register and apprais-
er. The so appointed directors elect
the officers of the bank. In case
Utah is included in the district to
be covered by the bank to be To-
Gated in the northwestern states it is
probable that the farm loan bank
will be situated at Boise.
In connection with the announce
ment concerning the appointments
the Spokesman Review had the fol-
lowing to say:
Positions in connection with the
farm loan bank are the quest of
the politicians these days. The po-
sition of register is of prime i'm
portance. The rural credits act al
lows the farm loan board to fix
all salaries with the provision that
the compensation Of register shall
not exceed $4,000. The maximum
salary is expected by most of the
candidates.
Recently word has come from
Washington to the effect that nc
person who has not been admitted
to the bar will be considered foi
register If this view is adopted
it would have the effect of blighting
q number of budding candidates. d
M. Drumheller, Jr., of Republic, who
aspires to be register, is a mining
engineer instead Of an attorney. A
number of Spokane attorneys have
aspired to the position of counse
for the northwestern bank. If the
register is to be an attorney it is
interpreted as meaning that he will
be shouldered with the duties of le
gal adviser. Warren W. Tolman
who started out as a candidate fol-
counsel, has accordingly shifted Il
be a candidate for register, and i
is likely that other attorneys will
follow his example.
The chief nonlegal officer of tn,
bank, it is understood, will be al
inspector, who will be in charg,
Of field appraisers, so there will b.
number Of positions open to other
than lawyers.

$4,000 a Pound.

A story comes from Bartles.
vile, Okla, telling of the finding
of gallium in the zinc ores from
this district, and which are smelt.
ed at the Bartlesville smelters.
One of fhe smelter men there
made the discovery, and his anal.
ysis scared him so badly over
what he found that he had an an.
alysis made by other experts.
The analysis revealed the pres.
ence of gallium in the ores from
this district, and If there IL
enough to make separation pro.
fitable it will open up a field of
tremendous wealth, inasmuch a.
gallium is worth $125per drachm,
or $16, 900 per pound.
Why, the Klondike gold won't
be in it with the fields of South.
east Kansas and Northeast Okla
homa.
No, this is not a pipe dream.
It is an actual fact-the finding
of gallium in the zinc ores from
this district, and it only remains

For One Court.

A number of Cherokee county
farmers met in Columbus one day
last week to talk over county
matters, and in their deliberations
they passed resolution asking
for an investigation to see if it
would not be possible to get along
with one place for holding ses-
sious of the district court. There
is a great deal over the county
about the way it Is now, and 1t is
not at all unlikely that one place
will be abolished.
It may be that one place will
prove to be enough. We will
perhaps have more to say about
this matter later on.

Cooperation by MethOdists
to Procure Living Wage For
Workers Is Recommended
SteciaI to Tic Teieerahh

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, May H. -
Cooperation by Methodists, in efforts
designed TO obtain improved industrial
conditions was recommended in q re-
port submitted to the general confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
Church by the Church Federation for
Social Service to-day. The report asks
that the conference approve plans for
aiding in procuring living wage" for
workers, trade agreements, co-opera-
tive ownership and similar measures.
The report also urged that churches
be used for social purposes and ap-
proved the development of parks. play
grounds and community centers Re-
form in prison administration was ad-
vocated and the report asserted there
was at present an opportunity for the
church to use its influence in aiding
officials to inaugurate plans for reform
rather than punishment in penal insti-
tutions. Collective bargaining" as
means for employees to obtain better
working conditions, was approved by
the report.
