Lewiston High Won Game

The basketball game played last
Thursday night at the Kendrick
high school gymnasium was one of
the best that has been seen here for
a long time. At the end of the
first half the score stood 9 to IL in
favor of Kendrick. The score, at
the end Of the game stood 81 to "a
in favor of the Lewiston boys. Fif-
teen minute halves were played in
stead of the usual twenty minute
halves, as the Lewiston team had to
go back on the 9:O5 o'clock train.
The Lewiston high school has a fast
team and the showing made by the
local team was nothing to be a.
shamed of. The Kendrick boys are
light but they play a fast game.

Check for Idaho Regiment

The End Idaho regiment received a
Christmas present in check for
$4,000 presented by Timothy Regan,
pioneer business man of Idaho, to
go toward paying off the troops the
money due them from the state.
The check was voluntarily offered
by Mr. Regan. 1t was accepted by
Governor Alexander. The chief ex-
ecutive added a second Christmas
gift in his personal check for $500,
making a total of $4,000, which.
with the amount on hand to the
states credit. will meet the total
obligation of $7,333.5O.
This means that the regiment will
receive the other half of the pay
due its officers and enlisted men
prior to the time it was mustered
into the service of the United States
The money now on hand may be
disbursed to the regiment during
the present week.

Permanent Roads for Latah

At a largely attended noon lunch
con at Moscow Tuesday, under the
auspices of the chamber of COM
merce the subject of good roads
was discussed in many Of it's phases.
F. S. Randall of Lewiston, senator
elect from Nez Perce county, spoke
of the work Nez Perce county and
the counties across the river in
Washington have been doing in the
building of main thoroughfares,
and he urged Latah county to take
up the work at the county line and
carry it forward. He condemned
haphazard methods of spending
large sums on the roads year after
year, with nothing to show for the
money spent, and urged the build
ing of substantial roads through
bond issues.
Charles Munson, a prominent La
tab county farmer, said when he
first went to Boise years ago as a
member Of the legislature every
member from Latah county was
spotted because he wore rubbers,
and in that way the county got the
reputation of being the muddiest
county in the state. He said it
was high time to quit making mud
pies. He urged the abolition of
oyerseers, the creation of highway
districts and the appointment of
three trustees for each district to
serve without pay as school trus-
tees serve.
Dean Little, head of the engi-
neering department of the Univer-
sity of Idaho, said the cost Of the
roads must be paid either in bonds
or direct taxes. He urged ex-
treme care in the decision as to the
kind of road and the cost. This
work, he said, required the best in
telligence available. 1t is work for
we'll trained men only. He urged
that a representative of the United
States be brought in to build roads
with Latah county material as an
experiment.

Mr.. Gustaye Kuntze who has had
exceptional success as dairyman
and cheese manufacturer in South

Study Club Entertains

The annual Christmas reception
of the Kendrick Study club was
held at the Fraternal Temple last
Wednesday evening with Mesdames
Moser, Crocker, Lewis, Porter, Old
field and Candee as hostesses. A.
bout forty members of the club
were present and Mr.. and Mrs.
White, E. P. Atchison, Percy Nc
Kenzie and Miss Pierson, of Spo-
kane were guests of the club.
This annual social meeting of the
club has been one of the most
pleasing social affairs of the year in
the past and Wednesday evening
was not an exception. The Christ
mas spirit was in evidence every
where. The decorations carried
out the Christmas colors and con-
sisted of red streamers of crepe tis-
sue paper draped from the corners
of the room to the center and
punches of holly and mistletoe in
profusion on the tables. A decor
ated Christmas tree added much to
the spirit Of the occasion.
A delightful program was given.
1t consisted of vocal solos by Mrs.
Long and Mrs. Patton; male quar-
tet by Messrs. Best. Porter, Patton
and Mckenzie. A vocal solo by
Mrs. Oldfield, accompanied by Miss
Pierson at the piano and Mr.. Old
field on the cello. was very pleasing.
A cello solo by Mr.. Oldfeld and
piano solo by Miss Pierson followed.
Mrs. Best gave a reading accom-
panied bv Mrs. McCrea at the
piano.
A guessing game afforded much
amusement for everyone. Five fort
unate ones received a perfect score
and were allowed first choice of a
Christmas present from the tree.
Most of the presents were toys and
contributed greatly to diminish any
feeling of formality for the rest of
the evening.
Refreshments were served on
tables decorated with holly paper
covers and napkins and candles with
paper shades of the same design.
Chicken salad, bread and butter
sandwiches, coffee, ice cream in the
Christmas colors and cake made up
very satisfying and delightful
menu.
The one regret expressed on all
sides was to the effect that the An
nual Christmas Study Club evening
comes but once year.

The most important meeting held
in Boise in many days was the meet
ing last week Of the County Com
It is true that the at
tendance was not so large as it
should have been but when we con-
slider that these poorly paid officials
must travel and live at the leading
hotels at their own expense the at
tendance is above what could rea-
sonably be expected.
Your own County Commissioner,
John l.. Woody, was on hand and
attended strictly to business. One
thing is sure that Latah county can
feel proud of its representative.
Having served the convention as it's
chairman for the past two years it
was but natural that some other
county solon should claim the prize
of presiding officer so the reelec-
tion of Mr.. Woody for the ensuing
two years is not only compliment
to the county but a distinct appre-
citation of the worth of the man.
For reasons that appear later
each county should be represented
at these annual gatherings and each
county should at least bear the act
ual expenses of one delegate. The
good that is accomplished through
these conferences cannot be esti-
mated in dollars and cents but to
one who knows of their workings
and has come into close contact
with them, it is believed that such
services to the county are invalu-
able. Then why not bear the ex-
penses of such delegates.
Here We come into contact with
intelligent men who stand very
close to the people. in fact, it is the
people speaking through these men
more clearly than any other body of
men assembled for any other pur-
pose. Ways and means are here
discussed for handling the counties
business with results that cannot be
attained in any other way.
The meeting of last week was es-
pecially notable for the wide local
interest it attracted. Prominent
speakers were present to welcome
the delegates. The Commercial
Club, live wire. rendered the use,
throughout the three days sessions,
of their commodious club rooms
and all united to honor the visitors
The Governor spoke also.
The banquet at the Idanha Hote
on Tuesday evening was one of the
pleasant social features. Ed Smith
presided as toast master. You al
know Ed, at least everybody IL
Lewiston and Boise knows him
Genial good fellowship bubbles
over in him and he kept thing,
moving along right lines all th'
while. Here as elsewhere Latal
County's representative was boti
honored and respected and wa
listened to with marked attention
He does not pose as great orato
but every time he opens his moutl
he says something.

vocated by the Commissioners

Items of Interest The Meeting of County
Held at Boise

Owing to the vast amount of funds
handled and the great value of
lands and timber still in the hands
Of the state this board should be
appointed with greatest care and be
a character above reproach.
The commissioners also put them
selves on record maintaining good
roads in the state and the judicious
expenditure of money to that end.
The plans suggested meet with
universal approval. There are
great undeveloped resources in
Idaho that can be utilized only
through good roads.
Suggestions on needed legislation
were freely offered, and a legis-
lative committee to urge upon the
legislature needed reforms in man.
aging the county business, was
duly appointed.
Elections and what they cost"
was ably handled by Mans H
Coffin, commissioner from Ada
county. We quote from his ad-
dress:
The average cost Of the pri-
mary election alone to the counties
is over 500 per precinct or
$4,000 for entire state. There is
one precinct where it cost more
than 500 per vote and several pre-
cincts which the glorious privilege
of voting at the primary cost the
taxpayers between $40 and $1S
per vote.
Do you think the taxpayers Of
this state will be in favor of the
statewide primary law when they
learn it cost them an average of
ST. 40 for every vote at the primary
election? Don't you think, when
they know it cost an average OF
$2.40 per vote to nominate and
elect their officers that they will
demand an immediate drastic re-
vision of all our election laws? Just
who is it that wants this primary
law? Who is it that will defend il
in the name of honest, fair elec
tions? Does it get us anywhere
Can't we support, nominate anC
elect our worthy public men t.
office, without all this confusion
and expense.
'There is no good or sufficien
reason why an election cannot b.
conducted in our state for Is cent
per vote, or in other words 10 pc
cent of the present cost"
], There were many other goo'
things done that cannot be men
toned in this brief space. TIL
