Sunday With Grangeville-I lilo game.

With the winning of the last game
of the season at Ilo last Sunday by
the Grangeville team the pennant went
to the Kamiah Indians. who can now
boast of being the champions of the
league. The Ilo team has shown con-
siderable class all through the season
and had they won this game would
have tied with Kamiah, and very few
of the fans anticipated victory for the
home boys who had won only their
opening game before the decisive bat

n his office issued the following state
nent:
THE first knowledge I had of
shortage was Saturday after
noon when a demand was made
upon me to make good the short
age with interest and penalty at
tached. In the audit of the books,
called in or advised with, the Ii
cense transactions upon which the
shortage was found, could have
been explained.
knowing very little about the
matter, l am unble to make an In
telligent statement at this time
concerning the shortage, reported
but will advise with attaches of
my office and also look into all
details concerning 1t.
"The handling of licenses and
the sending out Of thousands Of
them each year to every hamlet In
the state, makes 1t an almost i'm
possible task to collect upon all Of
them. Often they are lost or de-
stroyed 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 ac-
counted for by those who had
the licenses for sale and the money
should be collected from the ones
who owe it. I am satisfied that
the shortage can be satisfactor-
lily explained and l stand ready to
give all aid possible in straighten-
ing outs the affair and would have
willingly done so at any time, had
