state and county warrants and U. S.
government certificates. Through this
law, this department has been able to
increase its earnings $3,423.10 over
and above the 8 per cent this money
would have drawn on daily balances,
since May 9th 1919, the date the law
went into effect, and the prospects
now are that the passage of this one
law, will enable this department to in
crease its earnings to sum that will
exceed the total sum appropriated for
the maintenance of the department for
the two year term. For the month of
june alone, the increase earnings on
account of these investments were
$1,885.OO.
Investments Look Good.
Following is statement of the in
vestments made under this authority:
State warrants, per cent....$731 ,O85. 40
County warrants, per cent 7,410O2
U. 5. Gov. Cert. AZ per cent 100000
These investments are liquid assets,
and can be turned into cash any time
the money is needed for state pur-
poses, and at the same time we have
the benefit of the increased interest
during the time they are held in the
treasury.
The total of all earnings and savings
in this department for the past six
months amounts to $45 ,244.o3.
The total amount appropriated for
this department for 1919 and 1920 is
$3Z,950. and the amount expended for
the six months, is $7,l93.18, which
shows the earnings and savings of the
department during this period to be
practically seven times the cost of
the office, and already we
have saved and earned nearly one and
one-half as much as the total appro-
priation for this department for the
two years.
To give you a better idea of the
business transacted in the treasurer's
office during the past six months, we
had on hand balance of SOS, 493. 40
in all funds January |, 1919. The re-
ceipts into the funds during this time
were SO, l61 ,oOS35, and the disburse-
ments were $4,000, 1916, leaving a
balance of $2,264, 7O4.39 in all funds.
Good Legislation.
At this time | wish to call your at
tentlon to a law passed at the last
session OF the legislature which l have
to get incorporated in our
statutes for the past four years, and
that is the adjustment of the pernic-
ous habit of state officials and en-
ployees depositing state money in an
account in banks subject to their
check. l believe no individual,
whether an employee or state officer,
other than the state treasurer, has any
right whatever to have state money
deposited in any bank subject to his
,heck. The laws govern the deposits
ot the state treasurer, and the state
S protected, but not so with these
other accounts, and trust that you as

State Treasurer.

RECLAMATION RALLY
It's a Long, Long Trail to Washing
ton, but Well Get There,
by Heck!

Congressman are often dreary,
Senators most dense,
We must toll and never weary
In our states defense;
Soldler-men want work and farmsteads
Sailors need a home,
So the Golden West to her broad
breast
Is calling them to come.
-, Chorus
There's long, long trail a-winding
Into the land of our dreams,
Where sixty bushel grain will brow
Where now the white sand CLEANS:
But the soil is in our acres
The water is in our streams,
And Uncle Sam must build dams
That's what Reclamation means.
Service men are growing leary.
Secretary Lane is true,
Congress-talk is worse than berry,
Nothing else gets thru;
Soldier-men want homes and farm
steads,
Sailor-men want work;
Eleven states will storm the gates
And we'll can the men who shirk!
Chorus
There's a long. long trail a-windinp
Into the land of our dreams,
Where the meadow larks are singing
And the home-fire CLEANS;
There's long, long night of waiting
For what our government should do
But were in the right, we'll win the
fight,
Dear Golden West, for you!

ALEXANDER REGIME LEFT STATE
TREASURY IN SORE CONDITION
Eagleson's Report to Governors Cabinet
Shows Acute Situation Faced Present
Administration Upon Taking
Over Reins of Government

Boise. Idaho.--Hon. d. w. Davis,
Dear Sir: In compliance with your
request, l have the honor to submit
the following report OF the state treas
ury department for the six months
ending June 30th, 1919.
A report of this department is in
fact report of the finances Of the
state and must necessarily deal more
or less with figures, and figures as a
rule are undressing unless one is
closely identified with the particular
subject dealt with. This subject if
fully gone into and discussed this
afternoon would consume more time
than would be allotted to any one de-
partment, and realizing that this re-
port must of necessity be brief, l have
not attempted to go into detail regard
ing the various funds in the state
treasury, but have given a brief out
line OF some Of the work accomplished
In the department., showing also, the
receipts, disbursements and balances.
AT the beginning of an administra-
ton there is always more or less con-
fusion in all departments because of
new officials coming into office, each
one having new ideas regarding the
management of state affairs. The
working out OF the new laws, and the
upheaval caused in some departments
because of these new laws, make it
very much harder to get things down
to an ordinary basis.
Alexander Breaks State.
Along with this condition, this ad-
ministration on coming into power
last January, found a very unsatisfac-
tory condition as to state finances
Instead OF finding years tax levy
ahead OF it to be used for expenses to
be incurred during the year, it found
only a little more than $4,000 on
hand, and tax levy of about $970,00U
due to come in in January and July,
making a total of nearly $1,00O,0OO
that could be used to pay the war
rants already issued, and the outstand- |
ing bills. The Understanding out
standing warrants amounted to nearly |
TOO,OOO. deficiency claims drawing in |
terest amounted to approximately |
$l5O,O0O, and the unpaid bills to con-
siderably more than 100000. The in
surance money of more than SIS, 1000 |
paid the state on account of the
Soldiers home fire and nearly $4,000
on account of the Lewiston fire, had
been used. and had to be replaced, and
nearly as much more had to be added
in order to rebuild these institutions,
making a total indebtedness of ap-
proximately ST., 100000; or in other
words, by using all the cash available
and all the tax money coming due
during 1919, this administration found
i was left a legacy of approximately
SIO0,OOO of obligations over and above
the taxes levied, and years expenses

could be levied and collected before

In the Last Six Years "Old Ben" Has

Washington, d. C.-Uncle Sam en-
ploys approximately three hundred
professional hunters and trappers to
exterminate predatory animals in the
range country. Among these, the
champion lion hunter Is "Old Man Ben
Lilly" who at sixty-five years of age
still leads all the rest. He remains

to be his grandchildren. Lilly Is a

According to the bureau of biological
survey, under which this determination
work is done, Old Man Lilly in the last
six years has killed 1877 mountain lions
and 65 bears, including several griz-
zlies. The official account, just issued,
concludes: "Mr. Lilly is unassuming

New York Car Strike.

Transportation over elevated and
subway tracks in New York was
completely tied up Sunday due to
striking employees. The strikers
called it an ideal" tie up, and the
officials of the marlborough Company
are said to agree with them.
After two days an agreement was
reached between the Railway COM
panies and the strikers, whereby the
employees will receive an advance Of
25 per cent in wages. The employees
still hope to receive further increase
of II per cent.

Leads Temperate Life.
Mr.. Lilly attributes his" physical
prCwess and activity to his outdoor
life and to the fact that he never used
tobacco or intoxicants of any kind. He
furthermore has followed a fixed rule
of never hunting on Sunday. This rule
has given many wild animals being
pursued a new lease of life through
being able to make their getaway"
on the Sabbath. On one occasion,
however, he tracked huge mountain
lion for weeks through three states
and finally cornered him. His hounds
were beaten off and the beast attacked
Lilly. His rifle was knocked from his
hand. Armed only with 4-inch pock-
ct knife, he battled for some time until
one desperate plunge of this weapon
at the animals heart reached it just
as the hunter became so exhausted
that he fell beside the dead lion.
The records assert that Mr.. Lilly
knows the range country so well and
Is so familiar WlIn the routes, hdpltS
and haunts of the lions that occasion
ally he kills three within half an hour.
He knows just where to set traps in
the canyons and coves, while he is able
to pick out the most advantageous
spots to lie in ambush awaiting the
approach of prowling beasts. Born OF
good family enjoying prosperity, Lilly
in his teens responded to the call OF
the wild and became freelance hunt
err. Loaded with 60-pound pack, he
broke his way through the Louisiana
canebrakes in search of game, from
bears to wildcats. , AS rule, every
time his rifle cracked some animal
dropped, and his fame as sure shot
has spread throughout Louisiana, Tex
as. Arizona, New Mexico and northern
Mexico. He was one of the guides
selected to accompany the late Colonel
Roosevelt in his hunt in Louisiana

Race of Boat Builders,

The Irish from time immemorial have
been boat builders, although the west

way Belfast represents the high devel-
