CANYON COUNTY PAID
IN FULL
Cash for Bonds Received and
Indebtedness to Canyon
Paid OFF

The county commissioners have re-
ceived S55,000 in cash for the bond
issue recently sold to Denver bond
ing house and $27, 1888 has been turn
ed over to Canyon county to pay the
debt due that county by Gem coun-
ty in settlement of the division ac-
count. Except for an additional sum
representing accrued interest since di-
vision occurred last July, the above
amount represents the net sum due
to square accounts between the two
counties at that time.
1t is understood that there are still
a few little matters not yet fully ad-
justed between the two counties, but
that in the further adjustment of
mutual accounts Gem will probably
be the beneficiary. One of these un-
settled accounts has to do with the
audit being made here. Gem is to
stand its share of the expense but
it likewise to share proportionately
in the recoveries. AS before stated,
the Canyon commissioners believe
they will realize more than the cost
of the audit, which totals $500.
Settlement was also made with
Boise county, warrant for $l5,623--
20 being sent to the county treasurer.

R. R. BLOCKED
BY SNOW
SnOwslides Cover Idaho Northern
from 5 to 30 Feet Deep

Traffic on the Idaho Northern from
the Big Eddy to Cascade is complete
ly paralyzed as result of snowslides
which have buried the track un-
der snow from to 80 feet deep.
Railroads officials do not know when
through service will be resumed, not
until the middle of next week at the
earliest, and maybe later, depending
on weather conditions.
Heroic efforts have been made the
past week to open the line. A
sized rotary plow, which was
sent up last week, became disabled.
Then Jumbo rotary, the biggest in
the Short Line service, was sent up
Monday night, accompanied by crew
of 40 snow showers The line was
opened from Banks to the Big Eddy,
the mixed train which had
become stalled. This train, with the
disabled rotary came down yesterday.
The rotary was sent to Glenns Ferry
for repairs. Owing to snow block
ade on the Montana division of the
main line the Jumbo outfit was called
to that work. The disabled outfit,
when repaired, will be returned to
the work up the line.
A train that left here Saturday with
passengers for Lakeport became STALL
ed and was forced to return Sunday.
On board was Miss Jean Laravea, who
was endeavoring to reach her school
at the lakes. Ralph Womack of Cas-
cade is marooned here, and unless
his wife is able to get the News out
alone, this weeks edition of that
paper will be missing.

ship.

Knipe and Leonard Scott.
MiIitia-Frank Carter, Kip Harrel,
Lou Opkins, Otto Chambers and Ray
mond Fowler.

A series of six games will be play
ed, the first taking place Friday even
ing of next week at which time Frank
Berry will make his debut as presi-
dent, deliver an inaugural address
both of which will be worth the price
of season ticket Zone plunk, if you
please)-and will throw the first
basket. The sporting editor is bett-
ing Bryan cocktail against
plugged doughnut that he don't make
the basket.
Besides the regular games the even
ings' entertainments will be inter-
spersed with other athletic events,
such as wrestling bouts, boxing,
tumbling and such second team games
as may be arranged for: One of
these additional events will be game
between the girls of the Spartan and
Athenian Literary Societies of the
High school. AS there will be no
school league, it follows
that the six games of the Emmett
League promise to be about the only
ones to be seen on local floors this
year.

Celebrates Birthday

w. D. Mcfarland reached another
milestone in life's highway yester-
day, and as is his annual custom, the
event was celebrated last evening by
inviting a few friends to make merry
at his home south of town. The ''old
bunch" that were present at the first
celebration in this city four years ago
were there and a few more added.

piest one yet held, and everyone pre-
sent expressed the wish that Mac

ing the evening an elaborate turkey
dinner was served, in the serving of
which Mrs. Mcfarland was assisted
by Mrs. Charles Cantrall and Mrs. L.
L. Alsager. Just before dinner was

few words presented Mr.. Mcfarland
with fine meerschaum pipe, a jar
of tobacco and box of cigars on be-
half of those present. The recipient

WILL REDUCE
LUMBER RATE
Emmett Tariff to be Put on Sar.e
Basis as Boise

Through the efforts of the Com
merical Club, lumber shipments from
Emmett will be given the same rate
as those of Boise. This assurance
was given Tuesday by Mr. Bisbee,
general traffic agent of the Short
Line, who came here for the purpose
of considering the complaint that En-
NETT was being Disseminated against,
and to adjust the matter satisfac-
torily.
A differential of 2 cents per cwt.,
or A cents per 1000 feet Of seasoned
dressed lumber, has prevailed in the
past, which placed Emmett lumber
manufacturers at a disadvantage in
competing with the Boise Mills.
The adjustment means much to the
new Michigan-Idaho Company's mill,
which will start up next month, and
will encourage other manufacturers
to locate here.

Freakish Weather

The cold weather of the last four or
five weeks was broken up Saturday
night by chinook that swept nearby
hills and lower lands clear of snow
in "a hours and turned the streams
and gulleys into miniature rivers.
Tuesday afternoon the rain which had
been falling off and on for two days
turned to snow, when the wind veered
to the west, and yesterday cold
weather prevailed. The chinook was
bad for the many bands of sheep be-
ing fed here and the cold wave was
welcomed by the sheepmen.

ROAD OPEN TO LOWMAN
Steel Bridge Over Deadwood Com
pletes Government Road


Forest Supervisor Mains this week
received phone message from Larry
Phelan, who is in charge of the
government road work on the South
Fork, that the new steel bridge across
Deadwood Creek had been completed
and that the road is now open to Low
man, distance of SO miles from the
junction of the North and South
Forks of the Payette river.
The building of the bridge was de-
layed by a food washing out the
false structure. This road work has
been an arduous task. 1t is hoped
that the Boise county authorities will
now improve the road from Horse
shoe Bend to the bridge at the Forks,
thus opening up the Garden Valley
country for the merchants of Horse
shoe Bend and Banks, as well as
making it possible for tourists and
pleasure seekers to enjoy the wonder
full scenic beauties of that section.

WHOM WILL YE SERVE?

If man who has had a chance to
do the right thing for the race gets
with his few selected friends and di-
vides the money up, sells out the race
and then poses as your leader, when
in fact he is only menial servant,
would you consider him a safe man
to follow? There was $3.50 received
last fall by two certain politicians
from the County Central Committee.
What became of this money? Was
there ever a report made? II so, do
you believe that one or both of these
men gave anything in addition to the
$3.50 they received? Think of man
working for wages and then making
a donation to the Republican party!
These same men are trying to do
the same thing again. We favor a
square deal, out and out. and the
Star does not approve of ANY SET
OF PERSONS getting money and di-
viding it among themselves. If the
money is for workers, hire workers;
if it is for meetings, have legitimate
meetings and not ice cream frosts.
Some political grafters look for poll
tics regularly to give them money.
No wonder Nisbet said ne could take
800 and buy off every Negro in Den
yer. People of Denver, we are in
earnest; we want to see honorable
men and women take the lead for our
welfare. In the past nothing but dis.
honest politicians have handled the
money given for legitimate purposes
of the campaign. We believe that
the same business system should be
used in politics as is used in bust.
pocc Cannot 1Oypa hnpora h1e man An
Denver agree on plan and then
work out that plan for the benefit of
the race? If SO, why not? We need
good strong men in our front ranks.
Who will volunteer?
