William LeBar0n, Deceased.

William Lebaron. an Idaho pioneer,
founder of the town of Cavendish,
and one of the best known and most
highly esteemed residents of the Pot
latch section of Nez Perez county,
died last week at his home at Caven-
dish. Several years ago MIR. Lebaron
was afflicted with stroke of paraly-
sis, and since that time has been in
poor health. In recent weeks he had
failed rapidly and relatives and
friends had realized he could not
long survive.
Mr.. Lebanon was native of New
York, having been born on August
20, 1888. AS young man he came to
the great west, locating California,
and in 1861 went to Pierce City with
the big gold rush. In 1862 he came
to Lewiston, and since that time has
been resident of the Lewiston coun-
try. At one period he owned the
Porter sloughs property east of Lewis
m and with d pardner installed the
piers at the mill site. He followed
the occupation of riverman for long
period, contracting in taking out logs
a I'd building material, and a number
of years ago, with A. E. Smell, estab-
lished the sawmill at Caven1ish, which
place has rec been his home.
MIR. Lebaron is survived by a brother
Marshall Lebaron of Csvendish, and a
s.ster in California.

OF course many women do inveigle
men into coming to see them. and take
ing them to places and eventually into
marrying them, who never would have
thought of it themselves. but these
women ply their arts at close range.

Kindly bear these few facts in
mind, girls. Just remember that the
telephone ring never changes into a
wedding ring. and that the very surest
way to ALLEVIATE any interest a man
may feel in you is to harry his life
out Of him by calling him up over the
telephone. Reflect that the telephone
is intended for business, and not for
gossip or chatter or spooning; and
when you do have to use it, let your
communications be of spartan brevity
Don't be one of those foolish vir-
gins afflicted with telephonitis who |
can no more pass a desk telephone |
without calling up every man they |
know than a drunkard can get by a |
saloon. And so, as a reward for your
virtue, men will rise up and bless
your name, and a millionaire will |
marry you through sheer gratitude.

HILO HOPING To
Send BIG GROUP
TO CIVIC MEET

HILO, Aug. 11.-Steps are being
taken to have as many delegates as
possible from Hilo to the Sixth Civic
convention to be held in Honolulu in
September. The board OF trade Of
Hilo has taken up the matter with
keen interest and each of the direc-
tors of the organization has been
given a number of members to can
vass and ask if they are going 70 the
convention.
The proposition Of getting a large
delegation from Hilo and the Island Of
Hawaii is an important one for the
Honolulu people have announced, that
while each Of its civic bolies will be
allowed 10 delegates only, Hawaii, 4
Maui and Kauai can send as many deli

being made for the entertainment OF
the delegates to the Sixth Civic con-
ventton should appeal to the members
Of the board of trade for It shows that
the Honolulu people are determined to
give their guests as good a time on
Oahu as they themselves had while

Sam and that the money, or as much
as can be shown to be absolutely
necessary at the present time, should
be appropriated at once.
Paid Clerk Himself
Il did employ an assistant" said
County Clerk Hapai, later on, land he
worked some days before | found out
that the finance committee would not
favor an appropriation to cover this
expense. had, therefore, in justice
to myself, as l would have to pay this
man out Of my own pocket, to dis
charge the assistant This morning
one of the police station clerks was
put on by the sheriff to try and help
out on the segregation job. Those
1000 cards have to be duplicated, also,
and that is a long job ahead of me.
This all causes delay in winding up
the registration work and l thought
that Honolulu should be informed OF
the matter"
The whole matter has caused a lot
of talk around town and it seems 20
be developing into real row. That
the sheriffs department, the county
clerk and the board Of supervisors
are all at loggerheads in some manner
or another is evident. Some, of the
supervisors claim that the sheriff is
also trying to get an appropriation
for an intelligence officer who
would be used to gather information
for the board Of registration, and that
such an official is not needed.
The consensus of opinion around
town seems to be that II the appro.
priation asked for by the chairman
Of the local board OF registration is
to assist the United States govern.
ment and to facilitate the work that
has to be done, the money should
be appropriated at once. Hawaii, the
largest island in the group, does not
want any garbled reports sent to the
mainland and there played up as SEN
sational stories to the effect that the
supervisors of this island are trying
to block the registration and draft
work.

| WAILUKU, Maui, August 10.-The
Maui registration board finished its
work Sunday night after most siren

that time 3677 cards of Maui regis

all worked almost night and DAY until
it was finished.

to the sheriff's office after -egistra-

priest to the effect that he was less
