LEAD IN CALIFORNIA

San Francisco, Nov. 13.-Nearly
complete returns from this state give
President Wilson the entire thirteen
votes of the commonwealth.
The president, with eighteen pre-
cincts missing, leads Judge Hughes by
1000.
There will be no division Of the

HAVE
Not GIVEN UP HOPE

New York, Nov. 13.-Judge Hughes
will let his telegram Of congratula-
tions to Woodrow Wilson await the
official count Of the votes in Califor-
MIA, New Mexico, North Dakota, New
Hampshire and possibly one or two
other states.
The reason the Republicans are un-
willing to concede defeat is that in the
states whose vote is still incomplete a
change of 5000 votes might make a
shift in the tide Of victory from Will
son to Hughes.
Errors involving several thousand
votes frequently are discovered in re-
counts.
In round figures unofficial returns
show Wilson's lead in California about
1000, in New Mexico about 1900, in
North Dakota 1900.
In all these states where the margin
is less than 5000 the electoral vote to-.
tails thirty-seven. Hughes electoral
vote so far totals 243; Republicans
figure Minnesota will bring this to 255.
This will be eleven under the 266 re-
quired to elect. Should he carry New
Hampshire he would have 260 votes
and if California is split he would ar
rive at the place where North Dako-
ta's five votes, or New Mexico's three,
recounted and found Republican,
might put him over instead of Wilson.

IVAN DEUSEN'S
FINAL REPORT
SHOWS SERIOUS STATE OF
AFFAIRS IN SOME CANYON
COUNTY RECORDS.

The Boise Audit Company has al
last submitted the report of Clarence
VanDeusen, who has been working
for more than year, checking up
the records of Canyon County, COW
ering period from the second Mon
day in January, 1907, to the second
Monday in January, 1916 The re-
port, which covers nearly 40 type
written pages, has been received by
the Enterprise but it is not possible
to read it in full, much less digest
its contents, before putting our
paper on the press. A very hurried
examination of the principal find
ings furnishes evidence however upon
which to base the belief that there
are serious Irregularities in the
records of the office of the present
assessor and various minor irregu-
larities in the records of some of
the other offices.
The county commissioners have
made no provision for the publication
of this voluminous report, but the
will endeavor next week
to present it's most important find
ihgs.

WILL slAY uNMuzzLEp DOGS,


An order has gone out under the
hand of Canyon county health off,
GERS bidding all constables to slay
dogs found running at large unmuz-
zled.
Inasmuch as the statute provisions
and an unrepealed order OF the coun-
ty commissioners make it misde-
meanor to permit unmuzzled ours to
roam at liberty, the county officials
have decided to enforce these proyis-
ions. County Physician and Health
Officer T. D. Farrar took this matter
up with the county board last Thurs
day afternoon, with the above result.
The notices to constables and peace
officers were prepared at once and
it was expected that they would be
mailed out Friday evening. 1t is
hoped that more stringent adher-
ence to the laws provisions will
make it possible to prevent rabies
outbreaks such as have been wit
messed throughout the county in the
past 1S months.

MR.. H. HARLAND
IS NEW PRESIDENT
OF STATE BOARD OF EDUCA-

J. R0SSi, OF WALLACE.

H. Harland of Payette is the new
president of the state board of educa-
ton, succeeding Herman j. Rossi-
Evan Evans of Grangeville has been
elected vice president of the board
and Walter S. Bruce, secretary. All
three members of the board assumed
their new duties during the session
at Boise last week Ramsey S. Walk
er Of Wallace, appointed by Cover
nor Alexander to succeed Mr. Rossi,
was in attendance for the first time
at the boards meeting.
The affairs of the University of
Idaho were gone into extensively. The
report of President Brannon of that
institution laid before the board
deals with the finances, number Of
students, work done, Improvements
needed, etc.
The University of Idaho now has
863 students, an increase of 1906 in
the past two years. In letters and sci
ence there are 356 students, in agri-
culture 155, engineering 72, law "a,
summer school 246. Letters and sci
ence students have increased 40 in
number this year, and there are 101
more summer school students than
there were last year.
Considerable time and attention
was devoted to affairs of the Albion
Normal.
The board at this meeting con-
sidered and refused to accept the
resignation of DR.. J. T. Humphreys,
for many years superintendent of the
state school for wayward youth at
st. Anthony. Mr.. Humphreys resig-
nation was a surprise to all the
members Of the board. There was a
feeling that it had been brought
about through the putting of ex-
cessive and unjust pressure on that
gentleman by the state executive;
that the efforts to secure his remov-
al were unjust and that unfair meth
DDS had been pursued toward him.
Believing thus the board by unanf-
nous vote asked Mr.. Humphreys to
withdraw his resignation and to
continue his services at least until
the end of the year.

Fruitland by the large number of
errors. Shafer was out, which left a

Crump went out in the fifth, which
left many of the men playing in
