SHORTAGE OF
FISH AND GAME
Demand Made Upon Former Game
Warden to Make Good Tho
Heavy Shortage Of Funds
CIVIL ACTION OF STATE LIKEnV

BOISE, Idaho.-United States
Marshal Leroy C.. Jones Of the fed
eral jurisdiction for Idaho has been
served with q demand by the State
Of Idaho to make good shortage Of
$4,000, together with interest and
nenalties, alleged to exist in the state
fish and game department and cred
tied and created in the state fish and
game department while he (Jones)
was game warden for Idaho.
The alleged shortage was discov-
cred by special accountants employed
by q committee created by the last
legislature composed of Senator NJ.
B. Yeaman of Idaho Falls, Repre-
sentative Ezra P. Monson of Frank
lin and A. H. Morgan Of Weiser.
given supervision over the expendf-
ture of $25,000, with power to ex-
anime the accounts Of all state de-
partments during the past two years.
A similar demand was made on
the surety company carrying the
bonds Of Mr.. Jones. Civil action on
the part OF the state against Jones
to recover the money, and possibly
criminal action, was unoffcially re-
ported as likely at the statehouse.
The action created sensation in
federal and state circles, where
Marshal Jones is well known.
No Trace Of Money
The auditors charge that an in
spection of the bonds of the game
department while Jones was In
charge shows that this amount Of
money is unaccounted for and no
trace of it can be found. altho the
records show that fish and game
licenses were issued. The shortage
is based on missing licenses.
"The first knowledge l had of q
shortage came with the demand upon
me to make it good with interest
and penalty attached" said MT.
Jones. 'In the audit of the books,
had l or my bookkeeper been called
in or advised with, the license trans
actions upon which the shortage was
found would have been explained. !

cerning it
May Have Been Lost,
"The handling of licenses and the
sending out of thousands of them
each year to every hamlet in the
state makes it an almost impossible
task to collect upon all of them.
Often they are lost or destroyed by
fire, or, in some other manner. II
there is money due the state from
my office, it is due from licenses not
turned in or accounted for by those
who had them for sale, and the
money should be collected from
those who owe it. l am satlsfied
that the shortage can be satisfac-
torily. explained and / stand ready
to give all aid possible in straighten-
ing out the affair, and would will
ingly have done so at any time, had
l been called upon

BLACKFOOT VISITOR
WRITES FINE BOOK
IDA M. rARBELL IS AUTHORIZES

i Miss Ida IN. Tarbeil, who visited
BiackS6ot, It chautAuquA time, and
expressed much pleasure In some OF
the things she saw in the town. is
the author Of q number Of books, and
writes for the American Magazine
and other high class publications.
The Rise Of the Tide, story OF
the world war, has just been put out
by the Mcmillan company of New
York, and Is one Of the books that
men will read and honor her for.
The scene is laid In the land horth
OF the Ohio river, and deals with so
many Of the conditions that are fresh
in everybody's memory that It is q
recounting Of the life Of the average
community for the period of the
war, condensed and illuminated. 1t
is full of information and sidelights,
and rich in fine study that makes
for spiritual uplift. There are plenty
Of books that are fine and, are read
by people having leisure, but Miss
Tarbell's Rising Of the Tide, has the
additional value of being direct and
brief as we'll as sweet and true. The
lovers in her story are not only
sweet and true as good lovers are,
but they are perfectly frank and
Straightforward in their loves, and
when the struggle with self is fin
ished, somebody wins or loses with
the cards all in sight.
We predict that men will read this
book and be sincerely grateful to
Miss Tarbell for writing it. The
busy man will read it and not be-
grudge the time, for it is not too
long. If your dealer does not handle
it, you can get it of the Mcmillan
company, New York, for $3.50.

EARNINGS OF STATE
ENDOWMENT FUND
III Progress Continues 1t Present
Rate This Department VIII Pay
Ha6 states Expense
INCRNAsED EARNING ,1ee,as4. 90

BOISE, July 19.-'The work OF
the last six months in connection
with the handling Or the various en-
fdowment funds-their Investment
and collection-has furnished in
sdubita BILE sevidence oP the wisdom Of
Governor Davis plan Of state govern
ment, at least In 80 tar as the de-
rpartnent Of public investments In
concerned" was the statement Of
iCommissioner Elmer today. "Altho
the department has been in existence
but q short time, the excess earn
sings and collections in connection
with endowment fund investments
during the six months ending June
80, 1919 has been nearly quarter
,of a million dollars greater than dur
ing any previous six months period
since statehood. Stated more sue
lcinctly, II the present rating Of in
creased receipts and income shall
continue thru the years 1919 and
1920, this department thru excess
income :, over all other bienninm
periods, will be able to pay half the
expense Of the state government dur
ing that period.
4, THE receipts as shown must not
be taken as all income. Some Of
these funds represent naturalization
of the states landed investment, by
reason of land sales. The remainder
of the receipts of principal are the
repayment of Investments previously
made. The actual earnings OF the
department are represented by the
interest collected on farm loan in
vestments, United States, state and
school bonds, on deferred principal
sums until paid, of the purchase
price for state lands sold and Of the
rental moneys received for sstate
lands leased These constitute what
may be termed the income created
by the department of public invest
ments.
''The income from these sources
during the two contrasting half
years, January / to June 80, 1918
and 1919 may be taken as fairly in
dicative of the advantage received by
the state thru the changed form of
state government inaugurated at
Goverp0rssDavis' insistence. In this
instance statistics should prove in
teresting.
