Ancient Warrant Shows Up

After the lapse of 20 years, pre-
historic bridge warrant, issued by
Ada county but two years after Idaho
became state, was unearthed in
Portland, Ore, and payment demand
ed of the present board of county
commissioners of Ada county in a
letter received Wednesday. 1t is the
concensus of opinion of the board that
it has no legal right to make the pay
ment, on account of the statute of
limitations, which rules null and void
such an old claim. The warrant was
issued May 20, 1892, in the sum of
$500, for second payment on the Falk
Store bridge, against the general
bridge fund. According to the rec
ords in the courthouse, a call for all
warrants of this issue was made in
1900, the sum then due amounting to
approximately $770. All the war
rants were taken up with this excep-
ton. Idaho became q state July g.,
1890, and at the time warrant No.
181 was issued Ada county included
the present counties of Canyon, Gem,
Payette and a portion of Washington.
The Falk Store bridge, on which the
work was done, is in Canyon county,
and crosses the Payette river.

TRAGEDY OF KITCHENER
British Military Hero Was a Failure
in Late War.

Many great regulations were shak-
en- and some were shattered by the
great war, as is true of all great wars,
but perhaps the most tragic of the
personal failures was Lord Kitchener.
England appeared to think that "now
it can be told" how the towering fig
ure of the hero of the battle of Sudan,
around which all British rallied in
1914, the one military character in
whom there was supreme reliance,
who in his own person symbolized and
incarnated British confidence and
prestige and in whom was instantly
placed by universal choice supreme
military authority, was an almost alb
ject failure from the start.
The feeble figure cut by Kitchener
in the war office never came to public
knowledge. His colleagues quickly
learned the limitations of his mind,
were thunderstruck by the discovery
and gradually slipped his authority
from his grasp, but conspiracy of
silence sustained the great Kitchener
myth to the end. Such implicit pop
ular trust conferred in him that those
who knew dared not puncture the bub-
Bile. The Kitchener tradition was an
asset, if the actual Kitchener was not.
All this was candidly reported by
the anonymous author of The Mirrors
of Downing Street this spring, and
now Lord Esher fully confirms the
statements of that sketch as to Kitch-
ener's incompetency. He was "igno-
rant of army organization, was indlf-
ferent to war office regulations, knew
nothing of territorial force, its organ
ization or origin" His interest was
on pictures, rugs and brio a brac with
which he was furnishing the house
he never lived to occupy.
"The great leader" says Lord Esh-
er, "did not lead; and Kitchener could
not conceal from himself when he
went to Gallipoli in November, 1915,
that many hoped he would not return.
1t was tragic scene. He went
and he came back; and since King
John had word that the devil was
unclaimed no wanderer had returned
home so unwelcome" His powers
were stripped from him, first NUM-
lions, then recruiting, then operations.
Yet when he persisted on the sea
in 1916 the Kitchener legend was as
rife as ever. It is doubtful, from
these revelations, if history Furnishes
another example of a man OF such
magic power, with so little founda-
ton.

ODD BASEBALL
PLAYS

There has been thousands of odd
plays in baseball and every man who
has followed the game can describe
what he considers the greatest play
he ever saw or read about. Here is
one:
at was in the days of the old Chi
cago Cubs when the Cubs were strug-
Cling with the New York Giants for
first place in the National League.
Roger Bresnahan was catching for
New York on fateful day when the
Giants and Cubs were in a crucial
contest in the Chicago field.
at was the ninth inning and Chica-
go, last at bat, needed one run to win
the game. Maloney, for the Cubs,
was on second, Schultze on third and
there was one man out. Tinker was
at bat. Maloney was playing far off
second, ready for close run, when
Tinker batted high fly to left field.
The men on bases hesitated, but the
Giant fielder fumbled the ball, and
Maloney and Schultz started on a
wild rush for home. The fielder made
a quick recovery of the ball and~hurl-
ed it in, as Maloney, on Schultze's
heels, slid for the plate. Maloney
slid to the left Of Schultxe and the
two men approached the plate togeth-
er, while Bresnahan making an accu-
rate catch of a perfect throw, saw the
two men before him. He could touch
either of them for an out, but he
couldn't touch both Of them At the
same time. He had to touch one man
and let the other score the winning

! "Tanlac has proved such woderful

said Mrs. Lizzie Felker, practical
nurse, living at 1925 Randolf St., Los
Angeles, Cal.
-Four years ago after nursing a

About a Bond Issue

Speaking of the necessity of an
emergency bond issue to construct
and reconstruct bridges in Gem coun-
ty,. there is no doubt that the farmer
has just groud in demanding that the
operating expenses Of the county be
cut. If we are to get any relief in
the matter of taxes to secure this re-
suit there must be a drastic curtail-
ment in public improvement and ex-
penditure WI, the pfic:.s Of fla"
products way below the cost of pro-
duction, and stagnation in business
all the way down the line, there is
no good reason why Emmett should
build bridge when the old one can
considered before we pat or any fell
deroll. The farmers must get their
business on a paying basis. This is
important or the result will mean
bankruptcy to the farming interests
of Gem county.

LONG FACE-DON'T
By Charles Sughroe
9 wssern Ne-,psp<r Un;oa

A LONG face never earned
penny and crouch never
helped human being. You
can afford smile even if you
do not feel like it. A smile
does not cost you anything, yet
it has a business value. The
chap who ducks up smiling
when everybody is pulling long
faces is the chap you want to do
business with.
The crouch only begets
grouches and grouchers. Look
out you are not infected by the
crouch. His poison is more
dangerous than bolshevism,
mosquitoes and fake "hootch"
combined.
Smile when you mean it, and
smile when you don't, and keep
right on, with a cheerful mug.
1t. is good business. 1t helps
your digestion. And it makes
you welcome everywhere.

The uniform success that has atten-

Courage enables a man to face
the future with heads up and a
smile on his face and his battle is

Intelligence gives him TO real
