OF INTEREST TO, THIS SECTION
Bills introduced in Legislature That
Have Bearing on Local Matters.

Bills Introduced in Legislature That
Have Bearing on Local Matters.
Several matters have come up be-
fore the Idaho legislature that have
particular bearing on this section,
and the Herald is in receipt of a
report on them from Representative
A. j. Kent. Mr.. Kent refers to
the memorial sent in by the board of
county commissioners Directing to a
bill, supposed to have been intro
duced, that would provide that all
school taxes should be levied and
collected by the state. Mr.. Kent
states that no such bill is in ex-
istence and that if it is introduced
he believes it possible to kill it as
it would be to the detriment of the
smaller counties.
A bill has been introduced per-
tanning to the interests of this sec
ton. The measure would give right
of eminent domain in condemning
right-of-way along river banks for
diking purposes, also for right-of-
way for wagon roads, etc.
A bill was introduced compelling
county commissioners to place sign
boards at all main road crossings
giving the distance and direction to
nearest towns.
The State Highway Commission
has asked for an appropriation OF
81, 100000, but under present laws
the amount allowed cannot exceed
$1,000,000. The appropriation will
be expended according to the COM
missions dictation, the state being
divided into nine districts.
In the commissions report il
speaks of about 40 miles of road il
Boundary county extending from
Bonners Ferry to the Canadian line
The commissions attention was call.
ed to the fact that the nationa
highway, in the building of which
the state is cooperating, extended
from Bonners Ferry to the. Montana
line and if an appropriation is Sc
cured our portion of it will be ex
pended on this section.
Mr.. Kent stated that he did no
consider this bill good legislation
He said he opposed it chiefly fol
one reason, that is because the roaC
proposed to be constructed is no
moth and south road. The roaC
proposed is to be constructed from
Weiser to Moscow then goes int
Washington through to Spokane
leaving this state entirely.
A bill repeating the road poll tai
has been passed by the house an,
will very probably become law. Thu
measure creating the new county o
Lake failed of passage.

Pays More for Ties

According to Station Agent Ashby,
the Great Northern announces an
increase in the price paid for ties.
This increase is to take effect on
February 1, but all ties delivered
after the January inspection will
bring the higher price, the inspec-
ton already having been made.
Hereafter SO cents will be paid for
firsts and &c cents for seconds. The
former prices were 35 and % cents
respectively.
Mr.. Ashby reports that the com
pany is purchasing large number
of ties and is disbursing approx
imately $1,000 month to the farm
ers of Boundary county, which is
no small assistance. in a financial
way.

Block of War Bonds Would Be
Patriotic Move.
Opportunity to State School
Fund Commission.

Kansas may buy a block of war
bonds
One of the most patriotic acts which
the state could perform during the
war with Germany would be the pur-
chase of a large block of war bonds
according to D. E. Dunno, well known
Wichita stock and bond broker. In
Topeka this week Dunno told several
state officials that war bonds should
be purchased by the state school fund
commission. which now restricts in
vestments to Kansas school and mu-
nicipal bonds.
A number of state officials have
endorsed the plan suggested by Dunno
and it is probable that the question
of a war loan investment will be
checked up to the state school fund
commission at an early date. At this
time there is about 100000 in the
hands of the commission. Within the
last week the commission has invest
ed 100000 in school and improve
ment bonds.
Several state house attaches believe
the state could provide for the pur-
chase of a half million dollars worth
of the seven billion dollar issue. A
larger block might be taken by the
state we're the legislature in session
and machinery could be set in mo-
ton for providing a larger fund. The
half million dollars could easily be
subscribed from the school fund
which is now invested in school, mu-
nicipai. county and drainage bonds.
The war issue, however, would carry
n smaller rate than that received by
the commission from Kansas bonds
Yet the investment would be an ac-
ton by the state and in a spirit of
patriotism rather than commercial in

An Increase on Fruit and Berry
Shipments Denied.

Local Produce Men Are Re-
spOnsibIe for the Victory.

Increased freight rates on berries,
apples, peaches and other fruits, and
potatoes from Arkansas, Oklahoma
and Missouri to Topeka and this ter
ritory, which were asked by the ran
roads, have been denied in decision
of the, interstate commerce commls-

bv the Topeka Traffic association. Ad-
vances sought on potatoes from the
Kaw valley to the south were also de-
MED.
Some advances were authorized on
vegetables, other than potatoes, from
Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, but
they were less than those asked by the
carriers. The decision, according to
the Topeka Traffic association, means
a saving on many thousands of dollars
annually to the fruit and vegetable in
terests of this territory.
Produce Men Responsible.
The fruit and vegetable increases
were fought mainly thru the Topeka
Traffic association which obtained
suspension of the rates while Topeka
commission men, including Sam Lux
and w. o. Anderson, enlisted the aid
of shippers who before had paid little
attention to the increases.
An increase in rates on melons from
Louisiana to Topeka was granted the

February 10. The carriers will be re-

shippers paying the higher charges
on shipments between the two dates.
However. the traffic association will
file claims for the difference.
Other Advances Denied.
Advances have also been denied
carriers on building and roofing ma
terial, carloads, and ship boards, car
loads from Chicago, Mississippi river

proposed advances were . u cents per

STOP DEPORTATIONS
Cardinal Mercier Credits Pope With
Staying Iron Hand of Kaiser.

Rome, April 2s.-Cardinal MERCER
in a letter to the pope, published in
the Osservatore Romano says the
stoppage of deportations from Bel
GUM is due solely to the intervention
of the Holy See.
The cardinal adds that the return of
those already deported has been lin

sent back usually belonged to classes
who are of little use in German fac
tories.

the Shreveport mileage scale to APP
ply between the points. This would
have the effect, according to the To-
peka traffic association, of advancing
the rates from Topeka to practically
all points in Oklahoma to the Kan

has filed a protest with the interstate
commerce commission asking the tar

German Raider Sought
Within New York Area

New York. Jan. 81. = Shipping cir
cles in this city are awaiting word of
the chase or capture of either the
German commerce raider which has
raised havoc with allied shipping or
the British steamship st. Theodore,
which is being used by the Germans as
an auxiliary commerce destroyer.
Belief that eventualities were i'm
pending followed the receipt of in
formation that a powerful flying
squadron of British men of war were
heading for the New York area.
The ships which have been securing
the Atlantic for the raiders were re-
ported to be heading for a point of
concentration off this port after allied
merchant ships had been warned to
hug the coast.
1t is believed that a mysterious ship
seen about 700 miles east of Sandy
Hook on January 10 was one of the
raiders and that her presence in the
North Atlantic indicated an intention
to prey ON shipping in the lanes lead
ing from Norfolk, Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York. The strange
ship is said to have been sighted even
nearer New York during the past few
days and to have eluded one big mer-
chairman which sought to question

grandeur the greatest year in it's his
tory yesterday ny reporting net earn
