BACK FROM CALIFORNIA

w. L. Young returned recently
from two weeks visit in southern
California and old Mexico. Mr..
Y0ung's visit was one Of peculiar in
terest. A number of years ago a
salesman called on him and showed
him a set of encyclopedias and in
connection with the proposal that he
buy a set of them the company would
give him as a premium, absolutely
free, clear title to one certain lot
in southern California valued, of
course at all kinds OF money. Mr..
Young was interested in the en-
cyclopedia and he proceeded to take
a chance on it, not thinking seriously
Of the value Of the lot.
In recent years they have been
drilling for oil in that country and
have gushers within a quarter of a
mile in either direction. He went
down to see about the chances of
getting gusher on his lot and was
besieged by flock of men, all will
ing to take a lease on 1t and drill
the hole. There were so many Of
them that Mr.. Young hardly knew
which one to deal with and is still
studying the question. The value Of
the lot in its undeveloped condition
looks to be anywhere from $1,000 up.

Reporting the State Business

BOISE, Dec. 30.--The anti-alien
law enacted in California which bars
Japanese from owning real estate in
that state gives promise of being one
of the big issues before the legisla.
ture this winter in Idaho.
Governor Davis is expected to
throw his support to a bill similar
to the California law and the Ameri-
can Legion of the state has already
declared in favor of measure which
will bar the Japanese from gaining
and holding title to land in Idaho.
1t Is believed that the governor will
call attention to the need for such a
law in his message to the legislature,
altho he has been silent upon the
matter.
Idaho's anti-alien land law Of some
years Ago barred all aliens from own
ing land. That law was repealed in
1913. Efforts were made in 1917 to
re-enact it, but the bill failed to pass
the senate, after the lower house had
adopted it by an almost unanimous
vote.
The impending fight over the
speakership in the lower house is
commencing to attract attention in
this end Of the state. Peter G. JOSH
ston Of Blackfoot will, it is generally
believed in political circles, be
elected over Charles d. Storey of Ada
and C. J. Hugo of Latah. Mr.. John
st0n is said to have the support OF
= hA AatA Sru nj
friends Of Mr.. Storey claim the Ada
county man will have number of
votes in the southeast.
Mr.. Hugo has almost the solid sup
port of the northern counties, accord
ing to information coming from that
section of the state. However, the
dopesters in Boise point out that
friends of Mr.. Johnston can out-vote
the supporters of both Mr.. Storey
and Mr.. Hugo in a three-cornered
fight.
The candidacy of w. S. Hall of
Oneida county is not being taken SER
iously and it is generally expected
that he will withdraw in favor of
the Blackfoot man, if indeed, he de-
cides to allow his name to be used at
all.
Mr.. Storey can be expected to gaiL
strong support in the southwest, but
here at the capital the opinion is pre-
valent that he and Mr.. Hugo must
combine forces and one or the other
withdraw to beat Mr.. Johnston. Even
then it is dougtful if their followers
will join in trade the politicians say.
Everything is in readiness for the
opening of the legislature Tuesday
and the final details have been COM
pleted for the reception which will
be rendered the public by state Of
ficials Monday. The legislature con-
venes Tuesday in joint session to
hear the governor read his message
The message is about finished, but
little is known of the contents other
than that the governor can be ex-

War With Russia Has Left Coun-
try in Serious Condition.
United States to Be Called Upon to
Feed and clothe 1,250,00o
Children.

LondOn.-One of the aftermaths o.
the Polish-s0viet war is that Ameri
cans will be called upon to feed ant
clcthe more than 1,250.OOO Polish chill
dren this winter through the American
relief administration.
Up to the time OF the latest out
break Of hostilities. restitution HAD
been so reduced that the relief adj
ministration officials believed that Pc
land. with the organization the Ameri
cans had perfected would be able to
carry on the work after this autumn
That IL considered impossible now and
preparations are under way for caring
for as many children as during the
dark days Of last winter.
This decision came after receipt
in London of reports of complete
survey Of the country begun immedi-
ately after the Bolsheviki were driven
back. Trained observers report that
the Poles themselves have not paint
ed the picture black enough. After
two armies had fought over the ground
there was little left for the children
they report, and each requested imme.
diate shipment of food and clothing.
AS far as possible. distributing agents
for the administration are complying
with these requests.
The organization by which about
49, 1000 worth of food and clothing
was distributed in Poland in sixteen
months at a cost of approximately
$4,000 is virtually intact. 1t includes
between 1900 and $4,000 Poles whose
services are paid for by Poland but
who worked under the direction of a
few American administrative officers.
The Poles also pay for transporta-
ton from the ships, warehousing and
distribution. In addition, they supply
all -four received by them through a
100000 credit granted them by the
grain corporation.
Although the distributing organiza-
ton was considerably disarranged dur
ing the recent fighting, officials here
say they can get into working order
again very. quickly after railroad re-
pairs have been completed.

pected to urge upon the legislature
the necessity for economy and q
po!.ey Of retrenchment.
The legislative chambers have
been put in order for the coming of
the lawmakers and their comforts
provided for. The necessary furnish
ings have been installed and seats in
the balconies for the visitors are In
place. The cloak rooms, where much
Of the legislation will be framed this
winter, are beautifully appointed and
well fitted to attract the legislators
from the cares of state in the outer
chambers. Heavy leather davenports
and large comfortable chairs line the
walls and at either end of the cloak
rooms are big fireplaces which will
be lighted with the opening Of the
Legislative session.
Efforts are being made by the adj
ministration forces at the capitol to
get their bills in shape for introduc-
ton before the legislature the first
week of the session. The governor
has had the budgets from the several
departments in his office for almost
two weeks, but the rush OF work has
made 1t impossible for him to finish
with them as yet and TIE Indications
are that he will either have to hold
them back for time after the ses-
sion opens or turn them over with
brief recommendations
Several of the administration
measures will have to do with the
cabinet form Of government. The
existing system will not be changed

materially, but amendments will be
offered with q view Of strengthening
some departments and bringing
about consultations Of bureaus in
an effort to make It more compact.
Just how far the governor expects
to 20 is unknown. Two years ago
when the cabinet form Of govern
ment was given to the state in SEN
ate bill No. 10 an effort was made to
include the public utilities commits
sion and the industrial accident
board, but these two departments
were eliminated in the lower house.
The state department of agricul-
ture has prepared number Of bills
for Introduction early In the session
and the department of law enforce
ment is preparing number. Both
departments want changes in ex-
listing laws. The attorney generals
office has drawn number of ad-
ministration measures, but as q
whole they are bills which seek to
amend existing statutes.
The audit commission appointed
by the last legislature to check over
the books in the several departments
of the state government and in the
state institutions has reported. It
has included in the report recon-
mendations for numerous changes IN
both the statutes and the constitu-
tion. Among other recommends
tions is one suggesting the appoint
ment~of a commission on economy
and efficiency to serve for four years
and have an annual appropriation
OF $4,000 at it's command. It IL
pointed out In the report that such
Q commission could stndy the needs
Of the state government and bring
about a saving in cost and greater
efficiency.

idea Of the speed with which these

Literature is full Of them, grave his.

and versatile poets decked them with

from Spencer and Herrick, Milton and
