MONDAY NIGHT; $37
Broke Into Superntendens Office Ruined Valuable Desk
and Removed About $500 School Funds No
Clues Discovered

When the depreciation was dis
covered early Tuesday morning by Jan
itor Amos Markham, Superintendent
Lukens was at once notified and after
his arrival called the sheriffs office.
Sheriff Eller was out Of town and
Deputy Sheriff John Powell was at
tending to official business at White
Bird. Night Policeman r. B. Crea
was routed out of bed to view the scene
with the hope that something could be
found that would ultimately lead to
the arrest of the guilty ones.
The money taken was in silver, the
only piece of currency being left on
the top of the desk either for fear of
being marked or in their haste to get
away. Quite q number of pennies and
some checks were undisturbed, but
many papers were scattered about
showing that the culprits had made 6
complete search Of the premises.

Some time last Monday night the
School bilding was entered by per
son or persons with evil intent and
about S37 of school funds was remoy-
ed from Superintendent F. f. Luken's
desk. 1t is not known how the en-
trance to the building was effected,
but the performers of the deed Ger
tainly left marks of their handiork
an the door to the superintendent
office and the solid oak desk therein
which are practically ruined.
The funds belonged to the school,
being a portion Of the receipts form
the senior class play, the sale OF All
nuals and other activities. The desk
was of the roll-top variety and heavy
Instruments had to be used TO breaR
the lock. The school board held

To great many of the residents Of

uncle the late r. G. Whitman pio-

After Mr.. Whitman's death she re-
moved to Butte, where she has been
residing with another uncle, Frank
Whitman, prominent mining man of

Decision Reached at CONNER
cial Club Luncheon Wednes-
day; First in Years
PROBABLY 3 DAYS
Improving City Grounds for
Agricultural Fair and Ball
Park Taken UP

Several matters of Importance to the
people of Grangeville and the surround
ing country were taken up at the reg
ular Wednesday luncheon of the Com
mercial club, among them being the
of the nations birth and the improve
ment of the grounds in the northern
section which are owned by the city.
There was Il large attendance pres
ent ut the meeting and much interest
was shown in all matters coming before
the club. A large list Of applicants
for membership was voted into the club.
Since the meeting held two weeks ago
when + Bentz the potato king, made
such a stirring address, greater effort
Is being put forth to have more farm
crs affiliate with the activities Of the
club and it was pleasing to note the
name of Commissioner John ID. Long
on the list proposed Wednesday, and 1t
was promised that other farmers were
going TO become members in the near
future. A plumber of farmers were
present at the meeting addressed by
Mr. BentZ, who urged that every farm
er should be affiliated with some COM
mercial body, as they were all bust
ness men.
A motion was made and carried and
the matter turned over to the commit
tee on entertainment to arrange for the
return of Mr. Bentz, who occupies the
position of assistant immigration agent
for the Northern Pacific railway, to
return here at some date to be select
ed in the future, to address an open
mass meeting along the sam lines COW
cred by his remarks short time ago
The meeting when arranged will be
entirely free and will be treat to all
who can possibly attend whether Oper-
ating farms or have only back lot
later.
The city own an acreage tract In the
of improving this tract and having it
available for county agricultural fairs,
ball games and anything of similar
charcter was suggested. Considerable
work has been done on this tract and
a whole lot more will be required be-
fore it will be of any use to the COM
munity. Reference was made to the
manner in which Il town in Oregon
completed a task of the same character
when the required funds were unavail-
able, with the result that a job re-
quiring forty dayS work was com
pleted in four hours by the citizens of
the town. That is the spirit that is
nedled right here to place this tract of
land in shape for any use that may he
required of It and that is probably the
only way the work will be accomplish
kd.
county fair association would be
II great thing for Idaho county and
would attract people from distant
places its educational features along
many lines being unlimited. This mat.
ter was also placed IN the hands of the
club committee on fairs and entertain
ments to devise plan whereby the de-
sired results can be obtained.
If you are not Qember of the Com
mercial club of Grangeville or your own
home town, you should be. Everyone
should take an active part in the build
hing up of the communities in which they
reside and make their livelihood.

WINTER WHEAT OUTLOOK GOOD
More Than Million Bushels Over Last
Year--Other Crops Improving

The outlook May 1st was for
Z 7,24S,000 bushel winter wheat crop In
Idaho. This Is 4 little more than
million bushels in excess of last years
crop. the final estimate Of which was
6,105,000 bushels. There are 100000
acres remaining to be harvested,
which is ten per cent less than was
seeded last fall. This large abondon-
ment Is due to very dry weather at
seeding time resulting in much late
planting and failure of the crop to
make the necessary growth before win
ter set in. year ago only e per
cent of the acreage was winter killed
in 1913, 4 per cent, and 1917 10 per
cent. The condition OF the crop MAY
1st was 80 per cent normal compared
with 100 per cent year ago and 80
per cent, the ten-year average, SAYS
julius ii. Jacobson, field agent of the
United States Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates.
In northern counties there was con-
siderably more acreage than usual re-
seeded, the average for the nine coun-
ties being 16 per cent as against =
per cent last year. while the condition
up there May 1st was only 81 per cent
of normal compared with 101 per cent
year ago, and the acreage to be har-
vested, about 80 per cent of the usual
acreage.
Fremont, Madison, Teton, Bonneville,
Butte and Clark counties all report in
creased acreage for harvest over last
year. There has been considerable
rain and snow in these counties and
while the condition was only 81 per
cent normal May LIST. IA good crop is
Indicated with the coming of warm
weather. In the above counties, 13
per cent of the seeded acreage was
lost through winter killing. In the
ReXburg Bench region, it is estimated
there are some 100000 acres of winter
wheat or about twenty times more
than last year, with condition of 81
per cent of normal
In the southeastern district includ-
ing Bannock, Bear Lake, Caribou,
Franklin, Oneida and Power counties,
the winter wheat acreage for harvest
is s per cent larger than last year,
with crop condition of 96 per cent

The United States winter wheat crop
: was forecast at 4S4 647 600 bushels
one-third less than the 1919 crop, due
principally to greatly reduced acreage
and low condition of 791 per cent
compared with 1908 per cent yeal

them. Harry Bradbury took the part

Boise, Idaho, May IT, Between the
coming conventions in Chicago and
Pocatello Idaho people who are inter-
ested in politics have enough to Cos
sip about. The candidates are pretty
well known, with the usual hints
about dark horses.
There continues to be wide spread
feeling on the part Of Republicans
who will be delegates to the Pocatello
convention to give more substantial
are regarded as qualified for office
either state or local. There is little
question that an overseas man will be
named for state treasurer and it is
within the realm of possibilities that
one or two other positions viii be
filled by leading members Of the A
merican Legion.
But above the mere question Of
office is a determination to align the
Republican party of Idaho with those
measures being considered in Wash
ington of material and continuing
benefit to all overseas men. In this
state with its broad domain of UNI
developed land coming into cultivation
through extension of irrigation sys-
tenn, special opportunities are offered
for those soldier boys who desire to
go on the land, and any plan of con-
gress of8 substantial beneficial ma
ture win receive the support of the
Pocatello convention. Other plans for
rendering merited aid to overseas men
who do not care to go on the land
will be supported.
On Democratic Side
Democratic politics have been en-
livened by the presence in the state
of former Senator Fred T. Dubois,
who announces he is to be here until
next fall long enough to cover the
campaign. He is member of the
national ordinance board, a position
all his Idaho friends, irrespective OF
political divisions, were glad to have
him receive, but none expected, as IL
has developed, that it would be used
as n political agency However, the
official records disclose that many
hundreds of other democratic federal
employees are devotjng much OF thelr
time to purely partisan matters. III
had been hoped that in these horafary
positions, such as Mr.. Dubois holds,
there would be II notable exception to
the rule, but such has not been the
case. Mr.. Dubois enjoys an official
sinecure at $500 year and necessary
travelling expenses. Many people, III
cluding Democrats, do not believe the
expenditure is justified along the po-
liticaI lines to which it is employed.
Morgan for Governor
Judge w. NJ Morgan of the ldaho
supreme court is still talked OF as
candidate for governor Oh the Demo-
cratic ticket 1t is known he VIII not
be a candidate for reelection TO the
bench. and it is also known he Is not
desirious of the gubernational nomlna-
tion. but conditions may arise OF
character that will cause him to listen
favorably to what is undoubtedly d
demand on the part of many democrats
that he make the race.
