WITH THE COMMISSIONERS

The county commissioners have
been In session this week and oul
report OF the proceedings will be
published as soon as we secure tbs
official report from the clerk.
A review Of the bills presented this
time shows that there Is more CO.
operation than before in the en-.
deav0r to keep down expenses by
making more careful purchases. The
itemized lists of things bought by In.
digents when given orders for GER
tain specified amounts, shows q radi-
cal change in the selection of articles
With few exceptions they have pur-
chased substantial things and neces-
stiles. Oysters, pine-apples, bananas,
hair ribbons, dancing slippers and
lots Of other things that once appear
ed on the bills have been omitted.
Evidently the poor are learning what
keeps them poor and are studying
the art of buying to get the most for
their money. In one case the mer-
chant received authority to supply
goods to several parties to the extent
of $50 and the total of sales amount
ed to $50. The commissioners wond-
cred If the merchant knew that a
limit was placed in the orders for
the purpose Of being followed. They
allowed the bill for the amount that
had been authorized and no more.
For a couple OF years no money
has been paid to the Children's Home
Finding society at Boise for the rea-
son that the board doubted the legal
right and the wisdom Of 1t, and be-
cause the editor Of The Republican
at several times offered to submit
proof that the management was cor
rupt and deserved to be prosecuted
rather than to be aided. Two sup
erintendents, whom Mr.. Trego OPP
posed, passed up their positions,
some members of the board of re-
gents are out of it now, and the
county at the April meeting allowed
them $780,. Mary Stearn and Eugene
Taylor of Blackfoot are being cared
for by the institution, and the ex-
pense Of having the probation officer
take them to Boise was deducted
from the 800. Helen Stearn was
sent to the reform school at st. An
thony, Probation Officer Miss Betty
Ezell having her in charge on the
trip.
A slight difference arose between
the new board and Editor Dooley,
Of he Optimist, over his January bill,
and part of it was settled in court.
Some campaign advertising was pub
lished in The Optimist, on the order
Of county officers, and unknown to
them, Mr.. Dooley charged it to the
county. He said he supposed it
was all right and nobody had told
him any different, so he cut that out
Of his bill. He had a contract to
10 all the county publishing for 1915 |
and 1916 at contract price, but he
charged the publication of the official
ballot for the 1915 election at a |
higher rate than the contract price,
claiming that he had refused to do |
It at contract price, and the clerk
Ind board had dickered with him
lbout it and had agreed to allow him
What he had received two years pre-
'ious. This, he said, was $176, but
t appeared in the January bill $187

LETTERS FROM RECRUITS

The chemistry class of the high
school has received as class letters
from Guy Faulconer and Donald
Good, members who enlisted in the
Second regiment and went to Boise
for war training, and what they had
to say of their experiences as "rook-
ies' interested the class so much that
each member wrote the boys an
answer and the whole sheaf went
forward to them this week, perhaps
by mail, perhaps by express.

ON THE WATER WAGON NOW.

There was a man in town last
monday who had an artificial leg
from the knee down. Sometimes
being out of gear with the mechan,
ism of the foot the stranger went
into Bili's gun shop for repairs,
Taking the seat back OF the door.
where he was sereened from the view
Of passers-by, he proceeded to am
putate his mechanical member.
Piute John Arams rambled into the
gun shop and glanced around just
as the man removed his leg, which
was a realistic flesh color and what
he thot may be judged only by his
actions, which indicated that he was
sure some scared Inriau. One look
was enough for John. WITH yell
that did Justice 10 his early training.
John bolted out of the gun shop
through a room at the rear. over
turning chairs and lablp in his
frenzied flight, and he may be runin2
yet, as he hasn'e been seen in town
since-Jordan Valley Express.

THE CONTROL OF HOUSE
ANTS

Most of the common hopse ants OF
idaho are spoken of as large or small
red ants. reddish brown, black or
-iny yelloWiah ants. All these kinds
II species of ants usually come from
out doors and must be killed in one
If three ways ~ by mechanical
and not always practical; CD by
poisoning, which takes the most time
md may not always be successful;
t3) by fumigation with carbon BIZ
sulBhide where the nest can bs
cached This treatment is not al
ways dependable II the nest runs
,nder cement walk a house wall or
4 stump.
Mechanical measures oonsist Of
aging greasy bones or sugared spun
ses in the ant trails and when the
lnts have gathered in numbers
,lunging the bone or sponge into
Tot water; or digging up their nests
nd widely scattering them among
he chickens. Ant-proof cupboards,
ood safes. or the removing of active
food from the reach of the ants will
usually cause the ants to stop work
in the house.
Where the nest is not easily found,
poison sweets may be set along the
rails so that the ants will carry
the poison to the hidden nest and
feed it to the laying queen and
brood before they are themselves
destroyed by the poison. This meth
ID will in time completely do away
with the ants since they are attracted
to the bait. Quite an effective poison
is in a syrup made by using grams
# sodium arsenite (soluble) in .
spoonful of water, added to two
pounds OF sugar disohyes in q pint
Of hot water. The poison syrup
ray be soaked on bits of sponge
and placed along the ant trails. or
set sponges inside old tin cans so
dogs can't lap them,

be sulphide may be applied, prefer
ablytowards dusk when moss of the
workers are at home. With stick
make three holes from the direction
1n the edge of the nest towards the
center. AS quickly as the stick is
each time, pour in an
1unde of the carbon he-sulphide and
close with damp earth |
so that neither ants nor gas can
come out. One or more wet sacks
aid over the nest will help to hold

WATER IN RESERVOIR.
A. C. BURRILL,
Entomologist

Caldwell, July 31.-Four and six
ty-fve hundredths feet is now in
water i'll the Desd Flat reservoir by
the water guage at the lower gate
of the reservoir and there is only
sufficient pressure to make flow Of
one-quarter of an inch of irrigating
water to the acre of land, Practically
all the alfalfa OF this years seeding
has been abandoned by the farmers
of this end of the project and will be
total loss. The chance OF getting
water on hay lands for the third
cutting is conceded to be a very
slight one, and it is estimated that
the loss which will be sustained by
the farmers of the project as a con-
sequence of the officials of the
reclamation service failing to fill
the reservoir with an adequate sup
ply of stroage water early in the
spring, will amount to a vast sum
of money
