Republican advice in favor of a spe-

ratification"
Statements were issued by both
Senator Harding and Governor Gle
ment regarding the conference which
took place at the formers home.
There was no statement by either as
to whether the governor came to
Washington at the invitation Of the
Republican candidate or on his own
volition.
Senator Harding said:

COLLEGE QUINTET HAS
HARD SCHEDULE AHEAD

The College of Idaho basket ball
team has three of its hardest games
of the basket ball season scheduled
for this week end when the college
varsity five meets the Gooding col
lege, Albion State normal and Idaho
Technical institute. Particular inter-
est will center about the coming con-
tests, since the standing of the vari-
GUS teams will be largely determined
by this week results. The purple and
gold have not yet tangled with the
school Mas and Methodists and in
spite of the fact that the college lost
to the Idaho Technical institute Fri
day evening at Caldwell she still has
chance. The college will make de-
termined effort to climb up the con-
ference ladder this week end. Coach
Vance is fairly confident of annexing
two games on the trip. The Rupert
all star aggregation has wired the Col
lege asking game if possible during
their week end trip. The basket ball
management is yet undecided on what
to do yet of the game because the

VICTIM SUNDAY EVENING

Some prankish students at the Col

what almost resolved itself into an
avalanche of wild telephones, tele-
graph and S. o. S. calls when they
moved an automobile. belonging to
Mel Bean, fellow student from in
front of Voohees hall to the center
of the campus. Mr.. Bean, when he
came out discovered that his machine
had disappeared. In a panic, he called
sheriffs and night Waterman in Nam
pa, Caldwell, Boise. Emmett, Payette
and elsewhere. fully describing his
machine, including the number and
other certain Identification features.
Later. he came down town and the
local night Waterman told him that
he would quite likely find the machine
somewhere on the campus at the Col
lege of Idaho where fellow students
had concealed it. He followed the
advice and found the machine. Some
what ashamed, he again concealed it
and Monday morning endeavored to

was still at large but that he had Of

$4,000 GOAL.

Tuesday will be devoted by men,
bers of the board of directors and the
special committee to cleaning up the
town on the $4,000 drive for the De-
velopment League fund. Already, if
social memberships are included, the
revenue for the club this year will
reach $4,000 and no difficulty is ex-
pected in lining up the remainder of
the $4,000 sought for the Develop
ment League fund alone, leaving the
social membership to pay for ordin-
airy operating expenses and upkeep of
the club rooms.
Few business houses failed to sign
the dotted line as requested, most
of them willingly contributing what
ever has been determined upon as
just amount for them. Those few who
were missed will be called upon Tues
day to make the list complete. The
executive committee in charge of the
work consisted of H. D. Hanna, Fl.

DREAD DISEASE
NOW DEPARTING
Influenza Believed To Have
Past Crisis And Now
Receeding

Influenza is believed to be rapidly on
the wanc in Caldwell and the sur
rounding territory, New cases are
becoming rarer most of those who had
the disease are out again. In general
the epidemic, while almost as prev
alent as It was last year, took con-
siderably milder form and only about
six deaths have been recorded for this
section that can be attributed to influ-
enza or pneumonia which followed II.
According to one local physician,
while the epidemic was at its height,
there was almost 1000 cases of vary
ing degrees of severity in this city
and throughout the tributary country.
Many OF these were never seen by
physicians. Owing to the large num-
Der of calls and the fact that there
are only "a hours in day, doctors
could not visit every case.
While the epidemic was severe
enough to have caused no little worry
1t did not reach such proportions and
seriousness that any action relative to
closing schools and public places of
meeting was deemed advisable. MANY
OF the cases this year were unusually
mild and where good home care pre-
vailed, no difficulty was expected in
Fastening recovery.
While many Of those who had the
disease last winter again suffered
from il, their immunity was quite
marked according to local doctors.
In proportion to the total number OF
cases those who repeated were not
many. II is believed that with an
other year the disease will have deter
iorated in virility until it wifi not
cause any great worry, even if it
should appear again in the form of an
epidemic. This years experience with
the disease would seem to indicate
that this is the logical thing to ex-
pect.
What effect the bad weather pre-
vailing the past week until Saturday
may have had on the prevalence of
influenza is not known but it is gen
orally credited with having proved
contributing factor in it's spread.

Splendid singer
TO APPEAR here
MISS JOSEPHINE MARITIME,
LYRIC SOPRANO, WINS
WILSON'S PRAISE.

The voice of Josephine Martina,
who is to appear here on the lyceum
course, has attracted attention from
no less parsonage than President Will
son, who heard this gifted young art
list sing last year and complimented
her personally.
Enrico Caruso has taken great
interest in the work of Miss Martina.
In january 1919, Miss MARITIME sang
before Caruso, GATH Casazza and Alez
Lambert, probably the three best
known figures in New York musical
circles. All predicted a great career
for Miss MARITIME. Caruso has coach
ed her in number of the operate
numbers she will use during the COM
ing tour. Last season she was tend
cred place with the Metropolitan
Operate forces.
During the fall of 1919. Miss Mar
tino has been singing for the Edison
company and next season viii be one
of the their. regularly advertised Re
creation artists" The managers are
most enthusiastic over her work.
Miss MARITIME comes to Caldwell
because of the serious illness of Ber-
tina Farmer, who was regularly SEIZED
uled on the Lyceum course. We are
fortunate indeed that such well
known musician was available for this
emergency. Her tour in the west is
to be followed by regular concert
tour in the east and further record
making for the Edison company.

NO EXTENSION ON
INCOME REPORTS
COMPLETE RETURNS MUST BE
IN COLLECTORS HANDS
MARCH 18TH.

Announcement that there will be
no general extension of time for fill
ing income tax returns was made by
the bureau of internal revenue today.
Complete returns, accompanied by at
least one fourth of the amount of tax
due must be in the hands of collectors
of internal revenue on or before
March IS, 1920. Extensions will be
granted only in specific cases where
urgent need for additional time in pre-
pairing the return is shown.
Last year, if for good and sufficient
reasons it was found impossible to
complete return by March Is, cor
porations and individuals were permit
ted to file on or before that date a
tentative return and were given an ex-
tension of forty-five days in which to
file complete return. Conditions
which justified such extensions last
year do not exist this year.
Regulations governing the collec-
ton Of the income tax have been out
for almost year and no substantial
changes have been made in them.
Are All Distributed.
Forms are now in the hands of col
lectors' of internal revenue for distri-
button among taxpayers and there is
every reason to assume that the tax.
payers have ample time in which to
prepare and file their returns by

that much increase in recent months.
Five bids were submitted on the
structure. Mr.. Hall opened the bids
in the presence of the commissioners
of Canyon and Owyhee counties and
representatives of the Gem Highway
district. They were discussed in Sec
ret and then were taken before the
audience where the announcement was
made that all of them had been re-
jected.
Mr.. Hall announced that he would
endeavor to have specifications for the
structure so modified that it would
still be possible to construct the
bridge with what funds are available.
In the event that this can be done, the
work will be readvertised. If not,
the matter will probably be held over
until the next regular meeting of the
state legislature.
