COUNTY RECORDERS
TO CERTIFY TITLES

Caldwell, Jan. 30.-Through the eff
forts Of Mrs. Hattie N. Golden of
this city and other citizens having ag-
ricultural interests in this county, q
bill is being prepared for introduction
in the legislature which provides that
county recorders shall be authorized
and required to certify titles to real
property. The bill is along the lines
OF the Torrens system already In force
In a number of states.
1t requires that county recorders
shall keep all records essential for the
preparation Of abstracts. II provides
for the employment of special bonded
clerical departments to be known as
THE Abstract Department of County
Recorders Officers" Captain Walter
r. Cupp of this city has been en-
ployed to draft the bill. The effect
of the bill would possibly be to re-
move the necessity for the operation
of abstract companies.

PROPOSALfORT THE
CREATION OF new
COUNTY ENDORSED
Nampa City Council Passes
Resolution Offering Use
of the City Hall as Court
House.

Nampa, Jan. 3o.--At its meeting Of
last night, the city council of this city
swung in behind the business men and
citizens OF this city and Its tributary
sections In their effort to create a new
county Of which 1t is proposed to make
this city the county seat as a unit. For
the purpose of reflecting their views
upon the proposition and giving it their
support, the members of the council
adopted the following resolutions by a
unanimous vote:
Whereas, bill has been introduced
nthe lower house of the state legisla-
ture by the Ron. ii. =. Ross of this
city, providing for the creation and or
ganization of new county from GER
tain territory of the present counties
of Canyon and Ada, with the county
seat in this city. provided the creation
OF such new county shall receive the
approval Of IS 2/3 per cent of the quail
Tiled voters of such territory, and,
Whereas. 1t Is the sense of the
council that the creation OF such new
county would materially benefit the
residence and property owners of this
city and promote the interests OF or
farmers for the reason that any slight
increase in taxes will in our opinion be
more than offset by the enhanced value
OF all real property In such proposed
new county, and,
USE OF CITY HALL.
Whereas, it Is our belief that the
present city hall with its spacious Of
fees, equipment and fittings can he
utilized as county courthouse for the
next 10 years without interfering with
the proper conduct of the oity's busi-
ness or in any way encroaching on the
space needed to conduct same, and,
Whereas. the mayor and council
stand ready to arrange at any time
with the proper officers of such new
county, In case the same is created sor
the use of said city hall as a county
courthouse with offices therein for all
county officers. at a nominal yearly
rental;
Now, therefore, be It resolved, that
we heartily indorse the effort to create
such new county and pledge our loyal
support to said measure.
BE it further resolved, that the clerk
be instructed to forward at once to
Hon. H. =. Ross and the other members
OF the Canyon county delegation copy
OF these resolutions"

Note TO Wife ON
river BANK; CASE
MAY Be SUICIDE
John L. Hurst, Missing
Since Sunday, Either
Drowned Himself or Left
City While Mentally I'm
balanced.

Is the body Of John L. Hurst, poul-
try buyer for the Mutual Creamery
company, in the Boise river or has he
broken down under mental worry over
financial affairs and left Boise for
some other point?
This question is worrying the wife
and friends Of the missing man.
Mr.. Hurst left his home at 305 South
Seventeenth street, Sunday afternoon.
Nothing has been seen OF him since.
Yesterday afternoon shortly after I
o'clock his coat containing pathetic
note to his wife was discovered be-
meath the Fairview bridge over the
Boise river. Mrs. Hurst is certain that
her husbands body is in the river.
Friends Of the maj hold another view,
which Is that worry over financial af-
fairs caused him to become unbalanc-
ed and that instead of ending his life
he has left Boisa.
In the note Mr.. Hurst left to his
wife, he wrote that he had been a H.
nancial failure, urged her to take the
children to the home Of her parents
and n to search the river for his
body.
WORRIED OVER DEBTS.
When seen this morning at her
home, Mrs. Hurst stated that she was
positive that the body of her husband
would be found. He had a few debts.
she stated. and these worried him
greatly and she believes that not see
ing very bright future ahead he de-
cided to end his trouble.
Mrs. Hurst states hat her husband
was really too honest for his own good
and the same Is said about him by II.
A. Shellenberger, manager of the Mu-
tual Creamery company. for whom he
had worked since last summer. Both
i are Of the opinion that financial worry
caused Mr.. Hurst to take the rash step
he did, whether 1t was ending his life
in the river or leaving for some other
point.
Mr.. Hurst was at home Sunday af-
ternoon but left at an early hour. Mrs.
Hurst thought nothing of his going
out, but when he did not return home
by $3.50, she became much worried. It
was the first time in their married life
OF 10 years that he had ever been
away from home at that hour that she
was not with him or did not know
where to find him.
