SOME ELIGIBLEs OMITTED.

Since the publication of Leop Year
"eligibles' in the Globe last week
number of calls have come to the of
flee from bachelors who were in
advertently omitted from the list as
published. The editor has racked his
brain for an apology to offer as a
balm to the wounded feelings of those
who were left out last week. including
Jim Graves, official deputy state
predatory animal suspector' who pre-
sides at the court house; Keno" Nc
Connell, dispenser of coke and sody
at the village Randy Kitchen Walter
Bunnell and many others; but so far
nothing has turned up. The balm
market seems to be considerably on
the bum! Attention has been called
to the fact that while one Campbell
was enumerated last week there are
two Campbells still roaming around
ON the desert of bachelorhood, re-
ferring of course to W. H., who is
fourth vice president of the local car
penters' union and right in line for
a Leap Year proposal, and to G. Camp
bell, of Fishers Placers fame. Hurry,
ladiesl Glib Eimers, who was among
those present in last weeks list wants
to know the identity of the young
lady who proposed to him over the

Commercial Club Receives Information That Outfit for Es
tablishment of Big Convict Camp to be Located
Below White Bird is the Way.
STATE ROAD BENEFIT TO REMOTE POINTS
Engineer Will Arrive Saturday and VIII be Accompanied
Over Survey by County Commissioners and Des-
ignate Point Where Work Will Commence.

The north and south state highway,
the most important topic now before
this section of the state, has been
brought into prominence again this
week by a letter received by Secretary
Van Deventer of the Commercial club,
from Il. M. Booth, state highway en-
gineer, announcing the fact that the
equipment for the establishment of
a big camp had been shipped to
Grangeville on the 7th, and that an
engineer would be here on Saturday.
Mr.. Booth will be here a few days lat
er, probably on the Goth.
The matter was up for discussion
at the Commercial club luncheon We'd
nesday and considerable enthusiasm
was manifested. Messrs. Pettibone,
Long and Rice, the three county COM
missioners, were present, they being
here in the regular quarterly session.
The commissioners, according to the
agreement with Engineer Booth, are
to go over the survey with the engin-
eer and indicate where they want the
work to begin. The purpose is to di-
rect the work so that the road will
be completed as they go along and
can thereby be made of practical use.
1t is likely the first work will be to
open up the way around the bluff be-
tween White Bird and the Salmon
river, and thus cut out the steep hill
on the old road south of that place.
This is good news for Idaho coun-

A. Fl. Conner, Of Standpoint, the ca
pable speaker of the house in the last
legislature, dropped off in Boise last
Sunday for q short time on his way
home from a visit to his former home
in Ohio, when he fell into the hands
of Statesman reporter, or vise-ver-
sa, which is left to the decision of the
reader after he has perused the dia
logue. The reporter says Conner was
"bubbling over with enthusiasm over
business conditions in the east" and
the bubble seems to have been 50
well timed by Mr.. Conner and the
fact that Senator Borah is still well
in the running" among the Republican
candidates for the presidential nomi-
nation, is all that he divulged. The
interview reads well:
The reporter asked: "Who do you
think will run for governor in the
next raceY
Couldn't say said Mr.. Conner.
"Say, but business is booming in the
east. Everything is war orders Even
soap manufacturers are getting waT
orders You know armies must be
kept clean"
"But what is the talk going round
about the political situation in the
northern part of the state?'

JAS. H. BRADY
NOW SLOWLY
IMPROVING
Idaho's Junior Senator After
Being at Point of Death,
Soon Usual Self.

Senator James II. Brady, who has
been very near the point of death at
Washington, since going to the nation
al capital along the latter part of
November, is now convalescing, and it
is hoped, will soon have fully regain
ed his usual vigor and activity. SEN
ator Brady's health has been such
that he has been unable to take up his
duties in the upper house during this
term of congress; in fact, he has been
unable to even take the oath of office
up to this time.
A telegram of inquiry by Senator
Bradys friends at this place this
week elected the following encourag-
ing information as to his condition
which cheering news all will be pleas
ed to learn:
Washington, d. c., Jan. II, 1916.
Mr.. Brady has been very i'll for the
past five weeks, but is now GONZALES

few tays. AS soon as he is able tc
travel we are going to take him south
for six weeks rest. We thank yor
for your interest in his behalf.

"Well, I'll tell you this much. When

Convention for Profit
and Pleasure.
PRES. MCCALL TALKS
Meet at Odd Fellows Hall on
Saturday, January 22-
Outsiders Attend.

The Semi-Annual County Conven-
tion of the Farmers Union of Idaho
county will meet in Grangeville on
Saturday, January %, in a big ses-
sion. The meeting will be held at the
Odd Fellows hall, and plans are being
made for fine time. President J. B.
Mccall, of Hay, Wash, will be the
speaker of the day. with Riley Rice,
vice president an able second. There
will be busines session in the fore
noon and an open session with speak
ing in the afternoon, to which latter
the public is invited.
A big Chicken and Cream" banquet
is the program for refreshing the in
ner man, and all who were so fortun-
ate as to have attended the banquet
given by the union last year will
strive to get his name in the pot this
time. There never has been a gather
ing in this community where a bet
ter time was had, where better feel
ing prevailed, and where they had bet
ter things to eat, than at last years
Farmers Union gathering.
This years meeting, like last years
is not to be confined to simply mem
! hers of the union, but the invitation
| is extended to all the farmers of Ida
no county, as well as "all producers
of wealth." which by a great stretch
of Imagination and poetic license, will
4 try and be made to cover the newspap-
er manufacturers--who, while not pro-
ducing much wealth" that they sue
ceed in getting hold of themselves,
produce lots of the filthy lucre for
others. especially for the judicious
and persistent advertisers, which
class, by the way, is getting pretty
scarce these days. (Of course, this
is strictly by the way.) Last year
the local Commercial club was repre-
sented at the semi-annual meeting
by a delegation of good boosters who
afterwards confessed that they had
the time of their life 1t is not divulg
ing any state secret to gently intimate
that they have so far recovered by
this time from last years jambouret
that they might be prevailed upon t.

1FARMERS CRATIFIED
Practical Demonstrations Are
Of Vast Importance in
Judging Stock.

The Farmers Institute held here
this week under the auspices of the
local Farmers Union, was really
quite a success, and the interest dis
played by those in attendance was un-
usaul. The exceptionally cold wea-
ther kept the attendance down far
below what it would have been un-
der more favorable weather condi-
ti0ns, but the consensus of opinion is
that the meeting surpassed the expec-
tations of the head movers in the mat
ter.
The meeting announced for the
school auditorium Tuesday evening
was called off for the reason that
the gentlemen from the state univer-
sity do not hold evening and day
meetings, but Prof. p. 2. Peterson,
expert soilist of the university, ad-
dressed the assembled school on We'd
needay morning, and made a most ex-
ceIent impression as well as planted
| q good crop of seeds for future germ
ination and growth.
There were in attendance the fol-
lowing outside speakers: Profs. Hah-
ner, Hickman, Robb, and Peterson Of
the state university force, and Ex-
pert Agriculturist q. A. Wade, of
Lewis county, came over Monday
evening to arrange for the Lewis
county meeting and returned the next
morning.
The meetings were held in the Odd
Fellows hall the afternoon sessions be-
iLg the best attended, and the COM
ments of the farmers were highly
flattering to the lecturers and their
manner of conducting their meetings,
as well as the presentation of their
subjects.

was held at Georges Livery where

G. III. s. VICTORIOUS.
Defeats Asotin High in 81 to rs Game
Girls Win Also.

In as fast a game as has ever been
Witnessed in the local gymnasium our
boys trimmed the Asotin High bunch
last night. The score was 81 to %
and each team earned every point they
made.
The contest started off with a rush
and the snappy playing and rapid ac-
tion never abated until the final
whistle was blown.
Asotin scored first, then Grangeville
got her stride and scored again and
again before the lower country boys
could stop them. During the remain
der of that half and throughout the
second it was anybody's game. To
ward the end of the final half the
home boys cinched the game by throw
ing three straight baskets.
The game was featured by the re
markable basket-shooting OF the g.
I'll. S. forward, Dugald Holsclaw, who
threw nine field baskets and nine
fouls, totaling 81 of the 81 points.
Lieutenant Moore refereed the game
and his impartial Interpretation OF
the 1915 rules was most satisfactory
to both teams.
In speaking of the game Coach
Cook said: "The team played up t.
my expectations in all department.

the lack of weight and for that rea
son we hope to develop more speet
and accuracy before the next game

ROBERT NELL PASSED AWAY

Robert Neill, well known in this
place, Florence and the Occur d.
Alenes, finally yielded up his life to
the grim Reaper at Goff on last Sat
urday night, after n brave struggle of
two weeks against q combination of
adverse circumstances. and was laid
to rest the next day by the kindly
hands of the friends he had made
during his brief sojourn i'll that COM
munity as a homesteader and an ac-
tive worker. Mr.. Neill sustained in
juries two weeks or more before his
death while hauling wood from his
homestead to higgins, one of his
horses falling on the steep grade at
the Goff bridge, allowing the wagon
to cramp and back off over the cliff
The tongue was broken out and while
the horses maintained their footing
on the roadway, the wagon was al
I lowed to drop to the foot of the cliff
while Mr.. Neill was thrown many
feet. striking on pile of rocks.
Both legs were broken, and blood
poisoning set i'll. One limb was am
putated twice, but the poison had got
ten too well seated in the system to
be eradicated, and death ensued.
Bob Neill was a typical westerner,
aggressive plain spoken, bighearted.
and optomistic a loyal friend and an
uncompromising enemy. He lived for
years in Shoshone county in the
Occur d Alenes, and was elected SEN
ator from that county. He was the
discoyerer of the Helca mine, and at
one time was wealthy. He met with
reyerses. however, and for several
years has been in this section of the
mining belt, having interests in the
Florence country. A year or so ago
he and his sons tok homeSteads up
Race creek from Goff, and it was here
he met with the accident which cost
him his life. He was some 63 years
of age. He is survived by eight
, children, two sons and six daughters

, in South Africa; Mrs. Gamble and
Miss Olive Neill are In Spokane; Mrs

EMPLOY MENT
ACT KILLED
BY COURT
Justice Morgan Points Out
Defects of Measure
in Opinion.

The emergency employment law, in
tended to permit counties to furnish
emergency employment to those in
need of work. was declared unconsti
tutional by the supreme court, in an
opinion handed down last Saturday,
sustaining the demurrer of the COM
missioners of Ada county to applica-
tion of James Wiley Epperson for a
writ of mandate to compel them to
furnish him emergency employment.
The opinion was written by Justice
Morgan and concurred in by Chief
Justice Sullivan and Justice Bulge.
The opinion holds that the act,
which provides for the deduction by
county from the moneys due from
it to the state, of one-half the amount
expended by the county for emergen-
cy employment, is void because it is
in conflict with section Z, article Z
of the constitution, which provides: !:
"All taxes for state purposes shall
be paid into the state treasury, and
no county, city, town, or other NUM-
cipal corporation = shall be re-
leased from their or its proportionate
share of taxes to be levied for state
purposes"
/ Section 13, article Z of the constitu-
tion says: mo money shall be drawn
from the treasury, but iii pursuance
of appropriations made by law" No
appropriation of money was made by
the state to provide for its proportion
of the expense of giving emergency
employment a further fault in the
measure.
Entire Chapter Fails.
The provisions of the act, being es-
sentialiy and inseparably connected in
substance, so as to plainly depend up
on each other, the entire chapter must
fail, says the opinion.
The demurrer of the Ada county
commissioners is sustained, the alter
native writ quashed and costs award
ed to the defendants.
A number of counties have already
given. emergency employment under
the act, among them Canyon county
which has employed more than on'
, hundred needy citizens. Ada count!
declined to furnish employment oil
J the plea that it had no funds.
