HOW WAS THE
MONEY SPENT7

The Republicans of the senate
and house Of representatives
want to know just what became Of
the SiOO0,OO appropriation made
four years ago for the Panama
Pacific International exposition.
AT a caucus held Friday evening
it was decided to look into this
matter. It is said that reso-
luton will be introduced, prob
ably this week, calling for the
data.
The appropriation, with the ex-
ception of a balance of between
$1,000 and $4,000, was spent
during two administrations, the
Haines and the first administra-
ton of Governor Alexander. Some
S22,50O was spent in the first ad-
ministratiOn for moving pictures
of the state and a moving picture
machine. The pictures were
never used, due, it is said, to the
heavy expense necessary in show
ing them.

coFFIN'S CLAIM IS
TURNED DOWN

Boise, Idaho, Jan. f5.-The
celebrated claim Of T. C. Coffin.
former assistant attorney gener-
al, for $4,000 attorney fee and
expenses for prosecuting the case
.of the state against the National
Surety company to cover losses
on the bond of o. V. Allen, de-
faulting state treasurer, was in
definitely postponed by the house
of representatives today.
The house split along partisan
lines when the Coffin claim came
before it. Majority Leader Moo
dy moved indefinite postpone
ment. An attempt was made to
refer the communication to the
judiciary. The majority voted
it down and held solidly together
in voting to kill it by indefinite
postpOnement. Coffin claimed
in his communication to the leg
islature that the state depository
board had sought to work a fraud
on him by Offering to pay him
SOU Tor MS services, and he had
no reason to expect a square deal
from that body. Neither, he
said, was he working for char
ity in the case and expected fair
and reasonable compensation. He
left the matter of what the COM
pensation should be to the legis-
| lature.
Claims for $1,000 for expenses
caused during the trials were al
so asked for.
Coffin declares that he was not
an employee Of the attorney gen.
erals Office when he was hired &c
institute suit against Aliens
lbondsmen to recover the $3.50
istolen from the treasury. The
lcourt gave the state a judgment
for Sf54,OOO.

RAILWAY COMPANY FILES
INCORPORATION ARTICLES

Articles Of incorporation of the
ShOshone & Clearwater Railway
company, organized under laws
of Idaho, have been filed here.
The company is capitalized for
$4,000, divided into 500 shares
of the par value of 800 the
share. According to its articles
the company is formed for the
purpose Of running and operat-
ing a railroad by steam, electrici-
ty OF otherwise and to locate &C
quire and establish ponds and
booms for storing logs along it's
right of way. The proposed
road is approximately 33 miles in
length and connects with the
main line of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railway near
Marble Greek. The line is to be
constructed along Marble creek
Buzzell creek, Freezeout and
Clarkia. Fred Herrick, J. C..
Palmer and E. B. Flagg, all of
st. Maries, appear as the incOr-
pOrators and subscribers for the
capital stock. They also COM
pose the board Of directors and
are, respectively, president, vice
president and secretary-treasur-
er OF the company.

food commissioner departments
Torrens system of land titles.
Combining live stock and sani-
tary board with state horticulture
al board.
Bond issues for highways ad-
ministered under state highway
commission.
The democrats are generally
following out the recommenda-
tions of the governor.
The wOrkmen's compensation
act is looked upon as a most i'm
portant measure. There is also
more general interest in it. The
draft of the bill was completed
last night after a great deal Of
hard work had been put on it,.
Generally speaking, the measure
seeks to provide compensation on
a fair basis to the injured work
ingman or his heirs in the event
of his death while employed.
A stringent corrupt practices
act is to be introduced with the
teeth properly set. The measure
is now in the course Of drafting.
The initiative and referendum
will probably be the same mea-
sure that the direct legislation
league has approved, possibly
with some amendments.
A bitter fight will develop over
the public utilities act. The
governor has declared that it be
strengthened. A bill will be in
PRODUCED to give the commission
supervision over securities of
public utilities which come under
Is jurisdiction. There are many
democratic members who desire
to increase the appropriation for
the commission so that it can
proceed with the making Of ply
steal valuations Of property.
Others of the majority have pub
licly declared their opposition to
the existence Of a public utilities
commission and said they would
vote for the repeal of the act Gre
ating it. Opposition to the com
mission is coming, it is said,
from an unexpected source, the
farmer societies.
A uniform accounting system
for counties is to be worked out.
Under the provisions Of this act
each county will keep a uniform
system of books so that the state
examiner can check them without
making an examination Of the
county Offices.
1t is planned so to strengthen
the primary law, as democrats
claim, by striking from the pres
ent act the necessity of party dec
laration when calling for a ballot
at the primary election and tc
amend the election laws by tax
ing the circle for straight party
voting from the top of the tickle
and authorizing the placing OF
names of nominees for presiden
and vice president at the top OF
each party ticket.

Farmers Uses No Grain.
Hull, Mass, August This town
has a herd of 1926 hogs which are
turning the garbage into pork, and
providing a cheaper disposal OF the
waste than was possible under the
former system of removal. The
piggery has been undertaken
in response to appeals for more meat
production, and officials of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
of the Massachusetts Agricultural
College report the system as practi-
cal.
The towns Committee of Public
Safety advanced the money to buy
the young pigs, which were taken at
cost by citizens. The land for pastur-
ing and housing the hogs was given
free, so the only cost was for two
large hog houses. One man feeds and
manages the entire herd. Each day
the uneaten garbage is taken away
before any more is fed; all hogs are
inoculated against cholera and are
kept under sanitary conditions.
When the hogs are ready for mark
ct the unit cost of care and feeling will
be shared equally by the owners, and
this sum plus the original cost of the
pig will be the only expense to the
owners. The Public Safety Commit
tie is holding a surplus of young sows
for breeding, since it plans to continue
the system. Citizens of this town ex-
tol the advantages of it's garbage dis
posal and recommends it for other
places of similar size.
