Passes Senate Resolution Pro
viding for Commission to
Consider Division of State
Touching Scenes Reported as
Having Been Enacted in
Halls of Legislature at Boise

The Idaho house of representatives
last Saturday, joined the senate in
fayoring secession Of the ten counties
of north Idaho, when it adopted, by
a vote of 30 to II, senate joint reso-
luton No. g. which earlier in the week
had been passed by the senate.
Not T.. word of aerimony or of OPP
position in the usual sense was ut
tered. Those who spoke of the reso-
luton spoke in measured tones. 1t was
largely matter of sentiment. Mem
bers seemed to feel that the occasion
was one of parting and farewell
Those of the northern counties ex-
pressed themselves as feeling sorry to
end their association with the south,
and the latter reciprocated after the
fashion Oh the father who sends the
son away with "Goodby Bill; take
care of yourself.
THANKS HOUSE MEMBERS
After the roll was called, Hugo of
Latah, speaking for the panhandle y
thanked those who had voted against
the resolution as well as those who
had voted for it, taking for granted
that the most friendly spirit actuated
both.
The resolution was introduced in the
senate by Senators Johnsonu, Porter,
Christensen, Featherstone, Mix, Reh-
erbg, Jones, King and Written. 1t
formally conveys to congress the con
sent of the state of Idaho to the separ
alton of the ten northern counties
Boundary, Bonner, Benewah, Nez
Perez, Lewis, Kootenai, Shoshone,
Latah, Clearwater and Idaho. 1t
authorizes the president of the SEN
ate to appoint two senators, and the
speakers of the house to appoint three
representatives from the north, to-
further the statehood plan.
REPORT IN 1922
This commission is then authorized
to confer with representatives of the
state of Washington on a plan to Sc
cure eastern counties of that state to
unite with the Idaho panhandle in Il
new state, and to devise and settle
upon such steps as are proper and ex-
pedient Results of the commission IS
conference and research are to be re
ported to the seventeenth Idaho legis
lature in 1928.

Prohibit Cigaret
Sale to Minors
Only,
ENACTED BY LEGIS
LATURE ON SUGGESTION
OF GOVERNOR

Sale of cigarets in Idaho will be
prohibited to minors only. Adults may
continue to purchase cigarets, under
an amendment to the Harding anti
cigaret law, passed by both houses of
the state legislature late last week,
on recommendation of Gov. D. w.
Davis.
Governor Davis signed the original
bill, prohibiting sale of cigarets in
Idaho, and also prohibiting the sale of
tobacco to minors, and at the same
time sent message to the legislature
requesting that the bill be so amend
ed as to carefully regulate dealers in
tobacco in the state, but to permit
sale of cigarets to adults.

Therefore the aim Is to have the

the American home can be made more

ern part of the State principally
around Pontiac and Howell. Quite
large and very good herds developed
in each of these areas, but the most
success seems to have been attained
in large way at Pontiac and in Liv-
ingston County. The Pontiac Asy-
lum developed a herd at an early date
that was looked upon by breeders as
one of the greatest in the country
and the fact that Pontiac Korndyke
and Hengerveld DeKoe were either
bred or born in the herd goes a long
way to bear out the truth of their
belief. Farmers of Livingston
County, through the efforts of Mr..
w. X. Sexton of Howell, who brought
the first cattle to the County, seem
to have considered the Holstein cow
as a necessity from the very first,
and it was a matter of only a few
years before Howell and Livingston
County was recognized as one of the
greatest breeding centers of Black
and White cattle in America.
The efforts of the early breeders
have been we'll rewarded. Most of the
pioneers have lived to see their fav-
orite breed take their place as pro-
ducers of dairy products on most of
the farms of Michigan. The future
of the breed looks good and if pres
ent breeders will put forth the effort
to keep the merits of their cattle be-
fore the public as did the pioneers in
getting the public to see their merits,
we will never have occasion to wit
ness slump in the Holstein industry.

Few universities are enabled to dis

the lines of all of LIES activities as
does the Michigan State Fair, which
will hold its 72nd annual exhibition
in Detroit, Sept. 2-11. For the people
of the state generally the annual
state fair Is a fount of information
about the things they are most con
cerned with in their everyday exist
ence.
The state fair exhibits show the
best that is produced in agriculture,
livestock, dairying. poultry, automo-
tive trades, machinery, industrial
work Of varied sorts, road building,
arts and sciences, city and country
school work, home work, such as
needlework, handicraft work, gar

other sorts Of endeavor. No matter
in what line or variety of lines any
person is interested he can find much
