tendent of. the Northern Idaho Sani-
tarium, announcing the appointment
OF his son, Raymond L. Giyens. as
judge of the district court in Ada
county. The apoin tment was made
by Governor Davis. It has been
known for some time that Raymond
Givens was a prospective candidate

appointed, but on account of a legal
question being raised over the initi-
ative law providing for the election
of additional judges 70 the supreme
court, the appointment was post
poned until the legal obstacles were
removed The vacancy in the Ada
county district court was created by
the election of former Judge Charles

HAD FINE CHRISTMAS PROGRAM

One of the best Christmas enter
tainments ever given by the Metho-
dist Sunday school was that rem
dered Friday, December "a. when
the pageant, white Gifts for the
King" was given. The scene was
IA re-enactment of the events occur
ring Immediately prior to and dur
ing the week OF the nativity. The
play showed the crib with the Christ
child and the virgin mother. Three
young men, attired in rur robes, took
the part of the wise men. A score
of young girls marched to the scene
of the nativity impefsonating the
angels and singing Christmas carols.
A striking feature of the program
was a concealed choir, which was
stationed in the balcony at the back
of the audience. This choir sang
half a dozen of the most popular
Christmas songs. During the per-
formance the church was darkened
and Carl Ross threw a spotlight on
the platform from the balcony.
The church was splendidly decor
ated with two trees. one on each end
of the large platform. Much satis-
faction has been expressed by those
who attended the exercises. The
committee in charge worked untir-
ingly and they deserve much credit
for this admirable program. The
main room was filled and the bal
cony also contained quite a number
of spectators.

Lewiston state normal school and the
livestock show. They will leave
Friday evening In special car for
Boise. to be on hand when the legis-
lature meets on January 3 and the
new capitol wings are dedicated.
Senator Mix has been persistently
besieged with requests from members
OF his constituency asking him to
support certain measures which are
likely to come before the legislature.
What seems to be most important to
Clearwater county residents is the
game law. The recommendations
adopted by a meeting of the sports
men here week or so ago will be
insisted upon. 1t is expected that
senator Mix will be on the game law
committee and will be largely in
strumental in securing come better
game regulations Another measure
which is understood will be brought
before the legislature is.a bill to es-
tablish county unit system Of
schools. 1t is being fostered in La

putting the entire school system un-
der the Jurisdiction of the county
superintendent and provides a gem
eral school levy which would be ex-
pended according to the needs Of
each school. The Students Rate
Bill, it is understood, will also be
introduced by some Latah county
legislator 1t provides for car fare
rate of not over $500 for any per-
son desiring to attend any of our
state educational institutions no mat
ter how far away he or she lives.
This bill originates among the U. OF
L. Students.
Numerous other requests for leg
islation were received by the senator
who will do the best he can in re-
| gard to all. He has promised to
keep the Republican informed of the
important events to occur at the cap
ital during the Session so that the
people of the county may keep post
ed. which will constitute a service
not recently enjoyed by the voters.
1t is not known whether representa-
tive Bailey will be among the legis-
lators to view the state educational
Institution at Moscow and Lewiston
as he has been in Seattle for some
time and no word of his plans are
at hand.

Rev. j. A. Hoffman,. The twins
were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Harper
in Utah last July. The children
had been i'll for some time, Miss
Mary Delaney being called from
Orofino to wait on them. It was
thought best to bring the little ones
to Orofino. Accordingly, Mrs. Har-
per and Miss Delaney came here two
or three months ago. hoping that
the climate would be benehcial. but
II was not to be SO. Everything
that tender care could do for the
babies was done. Miss Delaney. who
ID . trained hospital nurse. aided by
competent medical assistance. worked
untiringly. but death Is no respectol

CANToNs RETURN

I Mr.. and Mrs. Phil Canton reached
home Tuesday afternoon from a
visit to California. They both ap-
pear to be benefited by the trip.
Phil is not very enthusiastic about
Los Angeles as wave of crime and
unlawful acts are of very frequent
occurrence. Although the palm and
olive trees are beautiful TO look up
on, the sight of the northern woods
is far more enhancing to these rest
dents of the Gem state. The Can
tons are glad to get back and their
friends are pleased To greet them.
They stopped over at Lewiston on
their return and purhased a resi-
dence property in University ad-
dition. Normal Hill. After spend
ing some time here they will go to
Lewiston to take UP their new home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Canton were formerly
residents of Lewiston and have many
friends who will regret to see them
leave Orofino.

Cabinet Choices
Seem Certain
HUGHES INDICATED AS PREMIER
WITH DEPARTMENT
OF STATE

Marion, Ohio. Dec,l 2S.-After
weeks Of consideration and consulta-
tion Pfesident-elect Harding is near
ing decision on several of his most
important cabinet appointments.
1t may be said authentically that
SO far no such decision has been
mace and that any oassestYoA,s he
may have dropped on the. subject
have e'sbeen ~of a. tentative and indefi-
mite nature. 1t is equally certain,
however, that in his talks here with
leaders in many walks of life, he
has indicated clearly what men are
uppermost in his mind as he asks
DOR advice on the makeup of his Of
ficial family.
Those who have discussed the
question with him intimately believe
that appointments under very serious
consideration include the foIowfng
Charles E. Hughes of New York.
secretary of state.
Charles G. Dawes of Illinois, Sec
retary of the treasury.
John W. Weeks OF Massachusetts,,
secretary of the navy.
Will H. Hays, postmaster general
or secretary of the interior.
Henry Wallace of Iowa. secretary
of agriculture.
Herbert Hoover of California, Sec
retary of labor. -
Harry M. Daugherty, attorney
general.
uo,,, r,oru ~ tho.o oo+,,o1i, I'll,
be given places for which they now
are most prominently mentioned is
a question that even Mr.. Harding
himself is not preparcu 90 answer.
Already several shifts have been
made In his tentative appointment
slate as he has worked his way to-
ward balanced and harmonious
cabinet, and other changes are ex-
pected before the last decision is
made.
1t is expected that for several of
the places mentioned the president
elect has more than one man under
consideration and that the list of
seven possibilities given here is far
from complete. In regard b most
OF these cabinet posts decision may
be deferred for several weeks and
the intervening periods deliberation
may change the whole face of the
problem and make one guess at the
present moment as good as another.
Mr.. Harding's selections for secre-
tary Of state and secretary of the
treasury, however. are expected to
be known definitely within few
days. At the same time. he may
make public the name Of one or two
others on whom he has definitely de-
cided for membership in the cabinet

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 25.-The ap-
pointment of United States Senator
John F. Nugent of this state as

sion came as a genuine surprise to
all except few of his close personal
friends. 1t has been accepted. how
ever, in genuine spirit Of apprecia-
tion by republicans and democrats
alike because an Idaho man was CIV

nave personally wired their congrat-
ulations to the junior senator. Edi-
torlal comment in the press has been
of a laudatory tone.
The term that Senator Nugent has
excepted is for six years. The salary
Is $4,000 per annum. or better pay
than senator receives. 1t is under
stood that Nugent is to be given the
chairmanship of the commission when
it reorganizes
Nugent's appointment is dis
appointment to not a few of the
democratic leaders in this state who
had been in hopes he would return
to Boise following the expiration Of
his term and assume the leadership
in the campaign to reorganize the
party, admitted to be in a rather
bad condition since the second in
vasion of the non-partisan league
Now that Nugent has decided to re-
main in Washington these democrats
realize that some other leader must
be decided upon to begin the reor-
ganization. The enemies of Nugent

him as an influence in Idaho politics.

STATE FORESTER
PLANTS WALNUTS
Sets Forth Advantages of Spe'
cies for RefOrestation.

Charles DEAN, State forester for the
Department Of Conservation, is a firm
believer and constant advocate of plant
ing walnut trees in the plan to reforest
this State. He thinks so well of the wal
nut tree that he has planted three acres
surrounding his home at Button with
this species. Mr.. DEAN planted the wal
nuts, spacing them eight feet apart. He
expects the trees will be developed suffi-
GENTLY In fifteen years to bear valuable
nut crop, the market for which Is now
strong with indications of improvement.
Mr.. Dean favors the walnut for plant
ing in small tracts set aside for forestry,
as well as for roadside planting, from
the fact the trees do not produce an
of shade which might
kill vegetation at their roots, and also
from the fact when the timber is of
marketable size, it always commands a
handsome price. Walnut, better than
most species, can withstand the attacks Of
destructive insects.
