Memorial Day Observance Especially In
spring This Year.

Memorial day was as nearly perfect
day as could be hoped for, The weather
was unusually propitious, while the add
ed meaning in the significance Of the day
to most hearts gave new life and zest
to its celebration The boy scouts as
sisted the q. A. Il. in the grave deeora-
tions during the forenoon. The exer-
cises Of the day were held in the high
school hall and were of a very interest
ing character Headed by the band and
escorted by the boy scouts, the parade
left library hall at 1890 About 80 sol
diers and sailors of the G. A. r. and of
the recent war marched with their coun-
try's flag. The chidren's part was ex.
eeedingly well rendered and they, with
their teachers, deserve much credit. The
speaker, Rev. Shaw of st, Adams, gave
an inspiring and hopeful, helpful ad-
dress.
At the conclusion of the exercises, the
town committee took the soldiers to the
Congregational church, where all were
treated to ice cream and cake. While
thew could not forget the lads who are
still serving across" and some are
pressed with sorrow for those who sleep
across the water and in soldiers graves,
vet they would not have us mourn. The
nations holiday has become world holy
day, indeed.

New Ga me Bird Law.

Shooters may have only six birds 10
their possessidn at any one time of
the varieties Of partridge, sage hen,
pheasant, grouse, according to the
provisions of the state fish and game
law.
This information Is gwen out at
Boise as result OF bit OF misunder.
standing among sportsmen az to the

that will be open TO shooting on
August Is.
There is some ambiguity 10 the
synopsis Of the game law printed on
the licenses where 1t reads that
hunter may have 20 game birds 10
his possession at one time. This
statement is embodied In the clause
on the license relating TO waterfowl
and refers to this class OF birds only.
According tp the complete game

DEFICIENCY PAPER
10 Be Issued By State to Re-
build Soldiers Home.

BOISE, Idaho. Acting on the
request OF ]. K. White, state com.
missioner of public welfare, the
governors cabinet at its regula,
monthly meeting passed resolu
ton recommending to the state
board of examiners issuance ot
$50, 200 worth of deficiency
claims to rebuild the Soldiers
Home, which was destroyed by
fire last year.
An appropriation OF $45, 900 for
rebuilding the home was found
inadequate when bids were opened
Monday, the bid closest to the
appropriation limit being $22, 900
too high.
Unless the home is rebuilt a
serious situation will result, as the
federal government has asked the
state to turn back the buildings at
the barracks in which the old
soldiers are now living, Commits
sloner White told the cabinet
members. There were 1877 veterans
at the home August /.
When the building burned the
state received $22, 500 as insurance
on the building. The insurance
money was placed in the general
fund by the former administration,
and, therefore, lost to the use OF
the Soldiers Home for rebuilding
purposes.
GAS the insurance was taken
out for the purpose of rebuilding
the Soldiers Home should it be
destroyed by fire, the home is en-
titled to receive back the amount
placed IN general fund.-" White
said. 81 do not believe the people
of the state will object to issuance
of deficiency warrants for this
amount in order that the old
soldiers may have a decent place
in which to live."
