WOULD MAKE BIG YARD

IL all the standing saw timber in
Idaho belonging to the state could be
made into lumber at one plant and
placed in lumber yard in piles of
customary size it would require yard
of 5S15 acres or over nine square miles.
A large part of the states timber was
for the benefit of educational, chart
table and penal institutions A large

these institutions is in the form of

OVERLOOK FURNITURE
ESTIMATES

The architects estimate for the con-
struction of the two wing units exclu-
sive of the furnishings was $4,000
and the furniture and furnishings was
estimated by them to cost s112.000 adj
ditional. Thus the total estimate for
the construction of the two wing units,
together with the furniture and fur
nishings was over s1,000,0O0 Through
some misunderstanding or oversight on
the part of the committee having the
capitol appropriation in charge the
amount estimated to cover the cost of
the furniture and furnishings was
overlooked and entirely omitted, but
the bill went through reading as

Architect Gives Reasons for
Delays -- 100000 Being
Expended - Purpose of the
Building Explained.
BY JOHN e. ToURTELLoTTE.
Architect of the Ida no Capitol

The capitol is again under construc-
ton and will be completed on or about
Dec. !. 1920 What is capitol for?
the state capitols. has had its con-
struct monumental buildings for their
capitols? This capitol, as has been the
history OF the construction of most of
the state capitols, ha shad its con-
struction continued over a long pc
Rod OF years, due to numerous small
appropriations made at various times
by the state legislatures to carry the
construction forward l will not at
tempt to explain the why of this me-
thod, either in our own state or other
states: sufficient it is that it was so,
and is usual procedure.
HISTORY BUILDING GIVEN
The work of construction was COM
menced in 1905 and the building will
be completed ready for occupancy on
or about Dec. l, 1920. Several of the
elected officials of the state during
their campaigns promised their con-
stituents that If elected the capitol
should be completed and instead of it's
being an architectural monument it
would be a plain sensible office build
ing, without any architectural beauty
or grandeur. Every such officer after
his election and after informing him
self as to what capitol of a state
icdhy StoOtt ioi, was III ldNoG Oh lnt
plans adopted by the original capitol
commission, and the building went for
ward along the lines and plans as orig
inally outlined.
DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS
A noted educator and lecturer of ma
tional fame, in one of his most popu-
lar lectures, refers to Idaho's capitol
as the best of American capitols. He
then explains why Idaho is making
precedent mot a blind follower of the
blind) in many ways and has repre-
sented the spirit of progress by making
capitol different from all other CAPT
tolls, it's interior under the rome struc-
ture being flooded with light instead of

INSURANCE BUREAU
The bureau of insurance has shown
a gain in collections of approximately
100000 for 1919 over 1918. This IL dueS
to the fact that during the year 10
insurance companies have been adj
mitted to transact business in the states
which shows that Idaho, from the In
snrance companies viewpoint, IN an at
tractive field.
Receipts of the insurance depart
ment for 1901 and 1902, the two years
following its creation. amounted to q
little more than $4,000. The receipts
for the same department for IL months
in 1919 amounted to $160,S73.62
More insurance was written In Idaho
in 1919 by far than in any previous
year, and it is believed that losses for
the year were more moderate. No
huge fire losses have been reported to
date.
All life insurance companies and So
cieties suffered heavily in 1918 in the
influenza pandemic, but reports thus
far received for 1919 show . very Ia
vorable death rate.
24s COMPANIES
There are operating in the state Of
Idaho at present 246 fire, life and mis-
cellaneous insurance companies. From
these companies Is collected per
cent tax on all premiums received. In
addition there are rs fraternal benefit
societies doing business in the state.
The bureau of insurance has Joined
in the examination of several COM
panies during the year and receives Z
complete financial statement from
every company doing business in the
state once per year.
The increased amount Of insurance
of all classes written in Idaho In 1919
reflects the general prosperous condi-
ton of the state.

Skeleton Is Identified as
That of Missing NY. Man
Uncle Recognizes Clothes With
Bones Found Near Hartford;
Posice EIncGaaYirEad

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 70. - A
skeleton found Sunday in Pennington
was exhumed this afternoon and iden-
titled by means Of clothing found with
1t as that OF Charles Coppola, chauf
four Of South Norwalk, who had been
missing since February, 1919, when his
automob bile was discovered in.the hands
of Strangers in Central Park, New York.
The identification was made by
Michael Piccione, of South Norwalk,
uncle of the missing man. 1t has not
been accented by the authorities.
Thomas F. Egan, superintendent of the
state police, said that he was certain
the remains were not those Of .Coppola,
but Of much older man.
Coppolas relatives. in view of the
opposite view taken by the police, de-
cided not to claim the body. Piccione
ard Louis Coppola, father of the miss
ing man, are sure, nevertheless, that
the police are mistaken. They declared
that the assertion OF superintendent
Egan was based on the absence of nu-
merous teeth from the jaws.
They visited the grave to-day and
picked up many teeth, which they think
dropped from the sockets when the
skeleton was eXhumed.
The suit and belt found with the
skeleton are those worn by Coppola on
the day he disappeared, according to
his father and uncle. The shoes and
hat are not his, they say. One Of the
men found with Coppola's car is now
in prison serving a term for larceny.

Jealousy Prompts
Artist, 81, and Girl
To Die i'm Love Pact
Waitress, Sixteen, Persuad-
ed by Man TO Dress Hair
Unbecornislgly and Re-
main Away From Church

EMMITTSBURG, Nd, Aug. 13.-In-
sane jealousy, which prompted the fear
that he might lose her, is believed to
have brought about the suicide pact
between j. Ford Thompson, ffty-two,
a wealthy scholar, archaologist and
artist, and Miss Mary Anna Sneeringer,
sixteen, waitress in a local hotel whose
bodies were found near here yesterday.
1t was this jealousy which made
Thompson prevail upon the girl to
wear the plainest of clothes and to
dress her hair in q fashion that de-
tracted somewhat from her beauty
Miss Sneeringer was handsome, hav-
ing large brown eyes, an unusually
tar complexion and masses Of black
halr. Her good looks were remarked
upon by the tourists who visited the
hotel kept by her aunt, Mrs. Anna NJ
Slagle, where the girl worked.
Thompson, according to the story
told by relatives of the girl, was at
tracted the first time he saw her, which
was about year ago. He pressed their
aacqualntanceship, visited her frequent
~, gave her presents ani in a short
Whlle she became infatuated with him.
SuSo sioiieu ny neT aunt the girl con-
tossed that she changed her manner of
dressing because Thompson asked her.
Mrs. Slagle said she asked Thompson
about it, and he admitted he wanted her
to be unattractive so that no one would
attempt to take her from aim.
He persuaded the girl to give up her
religious beliefs and remain away from
church. Thompson is said to have
been an atheist. He sent Miss Sheer
lnEef books treating on this subject.
Gks. Slsgle said she forbade her niece
se&ng Thompson and ordered him to
stay away from the hotel. The girl
told her. however. that if she was not
permitted to receive Thompson at the
hotel she would go to Frederick, where
he lived, and meet him there. The
aunt then gave permission for Thomp-
son to continue calling. These visits
continued regularly, until both disap-
peared from the hotel Wednesday al
ternoon.
Miss sneeringer, according to her
aunt, worked at the hotel SO that he,
four sisters might be educated She
was the Oldest of the family, and great
~ desired an education.
