COMPENSATION
ACT UNSIGNED
Governor Signs Many Meas

penSatiOn Act for Further
Consideration.

ably the most important measure
passed by the fourteenth Idaho
legislature, is still in the hands
of Governor Alexander. Reports
to the effect it had been signed
by him are erroneous. The gov
ernor said tonight he wished to
go over the bill very carefully
and give it the closest study be-
fore he afixes his signature to it.
In a message to the secretary
of state the governor states he
would have vetoed the supreme
court apportionment term bill,
senate bill No. ia, because Of a
provision it contained, had he not
been of the belief the provision
is unconstitutional and therefore
null and void. 1t seeks to make
it mandatory upon the court to
hear only cases originating in
certain counties at terms of court
held either at Lewiston, Poca-
tello, Boise or Occur d'Alene.
The constitution provides the
legislature has no power to re-
move or classify the jurisdiction
of the supreme court. The gov
ernorlsigned the bill.

TrOUSTON. Texas, June 1s.-This
RI letter is to show how thousands

States can each do his OF her bit
for our country in this great war with
Germany The crying need so for
more food, both for ourselves and
our allies. and every boy who raises
an acre OF corn or brings up a fat
pig is helping in our fight with the
enemy. Every girl who cultivates a
patch OF vegets bles and puts them in
cans. or who has a few chickens and
adds their eggs to our food supply.
is helping the nation in this mighty
struggle. If We should all join to-
gether and each do his share there
would be 10 scarcity Of food here at
home and we should have vast sup
plies to ship TO our allies in Europe
What 5000 Texas Girls Did.
Here is what 5000 little girls in
Texas have done within the past
year. They are taken from only 81
counties. and they represent only a
small part of the state. Their work
vas done to help themselves, for no
one knew until now that we should
have this great war. Nevertheless.
those 5000 girls put up about $4,000
jars Of vegetables and fruits They

had little farms Of only one-tenth of
an acre. But there We're more than
a third of a million such farms. and
and the tomatoes raised upon them
weighed tens OF thousands Of pounds.
One little girl raised $500 pounds OF
tomatoes on her tenth Of an acre.
and the girls Of one club raised 1900
pounds In some places the girls
have gone in for fowl raising, and
in one county last year there were
nine egg circles which marketed
about half a million eggs.

more than 5000. and nearly every one
OF them is cultivsting an acre Of

them in the corn clubs. and the aver
age yield Of the corn raised by them
last year was ten bushels more than
the average raised by their fathers
and neighbOrs. II as good farming

The body of former senator Conrad KouGarok last night in charge of Gus Roth. who brought ;hc remains of the resting place in the frozen shaft near the point where the body was found Springs. The deceased lost his life in a fierce blizzard little over year ago while making his way back to Taylor creek from the Serpentine Hot Springs, whithor he had gone with On the return journey Breeding who Was alone and travelling on skis was evidently wandered amid the binding SHOWS for some time before being over storm. Following the announcement that the unfortunate man was lost,
 
 was not located until close to mid summel when it was found by two prospectors jOurncying across country. lying in a shallow draw. From the ap- reIrance of the remains it was judged that Breeding sat down to rest and
 ad boen overcome by the intense de- sire to sleep associated with death by freezing. The mon who found the body decided that it was inadvisable ;o attempt to move it during the sum mer and later sunk shaft in frozen ground close to tho spot where it was found The remains were placed at the bottom of this temporary sepulcher and the opening was covered over, with the result that the body is in an excellent state of preservation.
 In addition to serving as the sena- torial representative from the Second Division to the first territorial legisla- ture, the deceased was at one time Mayor of Nome. His esteemed widow and young daughter are residents of this city. Funeral services will be held under the auspices of the Pioneers of Alaska on a date which. at this Writ ing, is not determined.
