Over The County

Troy News: The Idaho Bean &
Elevator Company now owns the
large warehouse in Spokane which
it has been leasing, deal having
been made for it recently. The
building, which covers a ground
space of 65x90 feet, is located on
Railway avenue. Besides the base
ment there are four floors, all of
which occupied by thescompany with
the exception of half of the lower
floor which has been leased to the
Northwest Transport Trunk COM
pany. In order to compete with
Michigan bean dealers it became
necessary for the Idaho Bean &
Elevator people to have their beans
hand-picked, necessitating the em-
ployment of a large number of
people and the installing of special
machinery. Mr.. Green, manager of
the warehouse in Troy, reports the
company to be doing nicely.
Genesee News: The local coal Sit
uation has grown serious. The Pot
latch yard reports no coal since
October 20 and none in sight and no
wood.
The Standard yard reports no
wood or coal, except few hundred
pounds of steam coal, and nothing
in sight.
D. T. Deselm, manager of the
Standard yard, reports that survey
of the situation shows that only
about 40 per cent of the families in
Genesee have in their winters sup
ply of fuel. the majority, 60 per
cent, buying their coal and wood in
small lots and must now be about
out.
The bins at the local yards were
full at harvest time but have been
practically empty for some time.
Both yards have made application
and stated the needs here. It is
hoped that enough will soon be re-
ceived here, now that the miners
= strike has been called off, to relieve
8 the situation.
Juliaetta Record: Every county
official in this state must keep his
or her office open to transact public
business from o'clock in the morn
, ing to 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
e This is the ruling of Attorney Gen-
t eral Black, given in response to
t an inquiring county official. Be-
| cause of the change in time the
officials wanted to open an hour
earlier and close an hour earlier.
1t is also held that state officials
cannot change their hours of work
because the law specifically sets the
time from 9 o'clock in the morning
to o'clock IN the evening. State
- and county officials may only close
their Offices on legal holidays set
aside by the law or proclamation
= : of the governor.
