Evening Chat


The band concert the other evening
set me to thinking and reminescfng.
and recalled how merchants of the
city a few years ago used to hire the
brass band" to play on certain cor

night to afford entertainment for the
people OF the city ana incidentally to
drum up" trade. There was keen
rivalry among the merchants to Sc

the best band was stationed there

times there would be several corners
on Main street on which would be sta
toned bands which would render a
musical program for a period of about
an hour. Rivalry was rife among the
musical organizations also. and each

were the mecca for people from all
the country around.
After the band would conclude its
program the people would dispense,
some to take walk, others to visit

their way into the shops and stores.
But with the increase In population
and the putting on OF city airs bands
were not needed to drum up" trade
or to get the crowds out, 30 they were
dispensed with. OF late years. how
ever, the Saturday night crowds have
become so dense that many people
prefer to do their shopping during tho
daylight hours and leave Saturday

Inland Empire farmers will be asked
to cut their grain as near to the

WILL PROSECUTE
EX-GAME WARDEN
CHARGES THAT $25, 900 OF STATE
MONEY HAS DISAPPEARED
ARE MADE AT BOISE

+ BOISE Civil action against United
States Marshall Leroy c. Jones, form
er state game warden, will be in
stituted if the alleged $4,000 short
age in the fish and game department
during the period he was in charge
of it is not made good or satisfac-
tory explanation given This is the
announcement of Roy L. Black, at
torney general for Idaho, in charge of
the case. The auditors filed their re-
port Saturday. 1t is claimed the
books failed to account for this-
amount of money in fish and game
license returns, penalties collected,
fees and interest.
"It is the duty of the attorneys
office to take steps to bring an ac-
counting following the report of the
auditing committee, and this we in
tend to do" said Attorney General
Black. sit is the intention of the
department to give Marshal Jones
reasonable length of time to explain
matters and it is not unlikely that
he will want to look into the records
This will require some little time,
and it is not the intention of this
office to crowd him. No unnecessary
delay will be permitted, however,
and if return is not made within
reasonable length of time the depart
ment will proceed against Marshal
Jones as it would against any other
person in civil matter. No time
limit is specified in the statutes, and
we are permitted to use our own
judgment in the matter"
The report state that there is evf-
dence to the effect that commissions
for the sale of fish and game licenses
were not correctly accounted for and
also that, contrary to the law, por-
ton of these commissions were re-
tanned by members of the depart
nent.
