IDAHO FALLS BANK
CLOSES Its DOORS.
State Bank is Now in
Hands of Bank
Examiner

The State Bank of Idaho Falls
failed to open it's doors Wednesday
and is now in the hands of the bank
examiner, who is investigating the
affairs and paper of the institution
Directors and others interested hope
that plans will soon be made which
will result in the re-opening of the
bank and a number of parties are
now in Salt Lake taking up the mat
ter with financial interests there.
The bank was examined by the
state bank examiner "a month ago
and was pronounced sound, but the
inability to make collections, coupled
with slow liquidation on the part Of
the debtors is given as the immediate
cause Of the closing.
The directorate of the bank is
made up of a number of financially
responsible men of the community
who have taken steps to protect the
deposit0rs.
The bank was established twenty
one years ago and was recognized as
one Of the strongest institutions in
this part of the state. This bank was
not member Of the federal reserve.

FARMERS OF SOUTH
IDAHO ARE FIRST
First Carload of Wheat
for Near East Relief
Shipped

Southern Idaho's farmers are the
first among growers Of the whole
northwest to forward gifts of wheat
in answer to Armenia's cry for food.
The upper Snake river valley, un-
der the leadership of James Duck
worth of Blackfoot, as district chair
man for the Near East Relief COM
mittee, has won the distinction of
being the first to speed share of its
harvest on the way to save Armenia's
orphan children from starvation, ac-
cording to word from state head
quarters OF the relief body at Boise.
With free transportation granted
by the Short Line, the first carload,
1900 bushels of south Idaho wheat
for Near East relief was shipped out
of Idaho Falls few days ago to st.
Joe, Mo. That city is one of the COL
lecting centers for the gigantic
mercy pool" of five million bushels
of grain, which the American farm
ers are endeavoring to gather for
the foodless thousands of Armenia,
southern Russia and the Bible lands,
where starvation, cholera and typhus
are taking hideous toll of life
among the destitute sufferers.
This is approximately one-half the
quota sought from the upper Snake
river district, composed of Bingham,
Bonneville, Butte, Clark, Fremont,
Jefferson, Madison and Teton coun-
ties, and is about one-seventh of the
wheat sought for Near East relief
from south Idaho as whole.
A number of south Idaho counties
are giving milk as their share, but
every farmer of this section is asked
for a part Of his wheat crop for the
starving people of the Near East,
who have nothing. Ten bushels of
wheat will care for child seven

ST0REKEEPER in
IDAHO FALLS SHOT
One Bandit Wounded
While Attempting to
Rob Store

On Saturday evening Stephen A.
Browning, who conducts q store in
Idaho Falls at the corner of Fourth
street and Lee avenue, was held up
and robbed, left for dead from gun
shots and the two robbers are now
being held by the police, one suffer-
ing from a wound administered by
Browning.
It seems that the two robbers
made their escape without being seen
sufficiently to be identified, but the
application for surgical aid Sunday
morning put the officers in touch
with them. The young men who are
claimed for the robbery are Edward
and Guy Nelson, the stepsons of Drs.
Busby and Busby, chiropractors at
Idaho Falls. 1t seems that they
went into the store when Browning
was counting his money at the close
of the days business, told him to
hold up his hands and he replied
with shot from .38 caliber
revolver. The robbers also replied
with volley of four shots, which
killed Browning. They were seen as
they left the store, but got away and
the discovery of Browning's dead
body started the investigation.
Ed Nelson, who was wounded,
telephoneS for his mother to come
to the residence of his brother Guy,
and when she arrived and found
what was the trouble she i'm
mediately telephoned for a physician
who in turn reported to the officers
and both brothers were arrested,
These young men are said to have
borne good regulations and have not
been suspected Of being connected
with any OF the holdups Idaho Falls
has been disturbed by. The town has
had very large number of holdups
and up to this time the perpetrators
have baffled the officers.

BY reason of his office it becomes his
duty to speak for the United States,
and no matter who formulated the
Hughes plan, it is his duty and
privilege to present it at the peace
conference and nobody knows who is
the author Of it, or how many men
were the authors of it.
1t appears that the whole matter
has been. gone over at great myth,
and the arguments of the different
nations anticipated and replies made
ready for them, by analyzing the
whole situation from start to finish
as it was likely to be done in the
peace conference. The proposals
were formed so that there would be
no need to be any change in them
unless our statesmen and experts
were mistaken in something or in
their judgment of human nature and
of their finding in fact.
1t will be remembered that the
Hughes proposal provided for 600,-
900 tons of naval strength for Great
Britain, 100000 for the United
States and 100000 for Japan, and
that England, after thinking the
matter over, said that her proper
tion was rather large and that some
of it, especially the submarines of
all nations, might be still further re-
duced, and as England had more
submarines than any of the others,
her sacrifice would be greater. There
fore, they have reduced the Hughes
proposal to what is called the 5-5-3,
meaning 100000 tons for England,
the same amount for America and
100000 for Japan.
Japan thinks that is not enough
for her and she has made a request
that her share be slightly increased,
and here is where the fine work came
in to make Japan come back to a
willingness to adopt the Hughes
plan. All these things are discussed
in a committee, not in the open
peace conference. In the open con-
ference they speak only of results,
and thrash out the details in the
committee, and it seems that some
committeeman told Japan that If she

EXTRA POLICE FOR
THE RESERVATION
White Deputies Will
Assist in Protection
of Game

A number of white deputies are
now operating on the reservation ac-
cOrding to arrangements recently
perfected between the Fort Hall sup
erintendent and officers Of Bannock
County Sportsmen's association.
While those in the regular service
will be under federal pay the addi-
tional deputies will operate without
pay, but will be none the less active.
The purpose of this arrangement
is not to interfere with the work Of
the Indian deputies, but to see that
the work Is made more effective
than at present. Numerous In
stances have come to light where in
fragments on the existing rules have
been made and it is to cOunteract
this that the white deputies will be
put on the force.
1t is the desire of the association
as well as the reservation authorities
to put a stop to this practise which
is not only unsportsmanlike, but is
a direct violation of the regulation
and in many cases is violation of
the state game law.
Under the treaty Of 1851 the civil
have full Jurisdiction on
the reservation in all matters en-
bracing the violation Of the state
laws. Arrests can be made on the
reservation in all matters embracing
the violation of the state laws. Ar
rests can be made by the white
deputies of parties without permits
as that is a direct violation of the
regulations and is one of the meas
lres used to protect the game and
The observance Of the game laws.
These deputies are duly commits
stoned and are provided with per-
mits.

COMMERCIAL CLUBS
BACK RECLAMATION
Salt Lake Bodies Will
Boost Smith-Mc-
Nary Bill

That the Commercial club and tn,

City does not approve the stand O.
the Utah delegation in congress ant
certain individuals in opposing thu
Smith bill carrying an emergency
appropriation of $20,OOO,0OO for i'm
mediate use on reclamation projects
is evidenced by a letter received al
the office of the Idaho Reclamation
association.
\ The opposition from Utah was
based on the fact tina Utah would
not directly participate in the allot-
ment, which under the terms of the
recommendation from the unem-
ployment conference committee,
could be APPLIED only to going pro-

construction work could be given

number of prominent citizens of Salt
Lake, Guy Flenner, managing d.
rector wired to Governor Charles
Mabey of Utah and to the Com
mercial club and the Chamber OF
Commerce of Salt Lake City, the pro-
test of the Idaho Reclamation asso-
citation on the grounds that such op-
position from sister state would re-
tard not only the development of
Idaho, but would create additional
barriers to the passage of all recla-
nation legislation affecting the west
generally.
The following letter is the answer:

HUGHES PROPOSAL MOST PERFECT PLAN:
COMMITTEES SETTLE ALL DIFFERENCES
Five-FWe- Three Plan Gives Japan the Greatest
Naval Tonnage When Judged According
to Commerce and Territory

Secretary Hughes is the biggest
man in the world today. His name
is on the lips of more people than
any other mans in the world, and he
is being quoted by more people than
any other living man. The reason
for this is that when the peace con-
ference opened he made proposal
regarding naval reduction that is so
eminently fair, so constructive in its
influence, and so far reaching in its
effect, that after all the meetings
and committee work of the past two
weeks, nobody is able to propose
anything that is better than the
Hughes plan.
The purpose Of the peace confer
ence was to dispose of two matters;
make the reduction in naval arma-
ments, and agree upon the settle
ment of what are known as the far
eastern questions. Japan could not
agree to reduction of armament
until they knew what settlement
was to be made of the aggravations
that provoke war in the far east.
The several nations that have h&en
grabbing Chinese territory and &y-
ing the basis for wrongs and NJ krs
are being asked to give up their er-
ritory and to undo the wrongs lat
have been done. These are s0m@ of
the things that Senator Borah of
Idaho has been talking about in the
United States senate, and in his
speeches wherever he has gone for
a long time. Now the best part of
the world is being concentrated on
an adjustment of those matters. 1t
is quite coincidence that Senator
Borah, the man who took the lead of
all the big men in opposing the
adoption of the League of Nations,
and of bringing about the present
peace conference to settle matters on
the plans now being considered, is
not mentioned at all these days
Senator Borah is not heard of. His
ideas are being put into effect thru
what is known as the Hughes plan,
and Mr.. Hughes is receiving all the
credit but he is the spokesman for
America because ne is the secretary

TO PROTECT GAME

The Arco Advertiser last week
printed the following editorial under
the heading, Propose to Close Sea.
son in Central Idaho:
"Sportsmen in this part of the
state are behind a movement to ask
the next session of the legislature to
close central Idaho from the ravages
of the big game hunters for three
years. The Advertiser is inclined to
believe that there is considerable
merit to the proposal and that 1t de-
serves the serious consideration OF
everybody in this part of the state.
This wonderful inland empire has
been rightfully proclaimed, ''the
sportsmen's paradise" but this title
will soon be q misnomer IL some
thing is not done to conserve our
great heritage-wild game and birds.
'The past few months has shown
cOnclusively that steps must be taken
to conserve wild game in central
Idaho. Hundreds of big game, hunt
ers have invaded this territory since
the big game season opened and old
timers living in the region inhabited
by big game are voicing their pro-
tests in no uncertain terms of the
way game is being slaughtered. Y
While hundreds of hunters entet
the field from the Lost River en-
trance to the game country, we wish
to call the readers attention to the
following item which appeared re-
Gently in The Boise Statesman under
the HALEY department.:
Sportsmen returning from the
Loon creek region report that hunt
ers after deer are numerous there.
A few days ago fifty-two automobiles
passed certain point on the Loon
creek road, most of them contain
ing hunters. Residents there say
that If the animals are hunted as
closely for three or four years as
they have been this year, the deer
will be practically exterminated in
that region"
From the above it will be seen
that this condition is not local. All
Of central Idaho should join in ask
ing the passage Of a law at the next
session which would make a closed
season of at least three years.
Butte, Custer, Blaine and Lemhi
counties are directly interested in
this proposal and it is none too early
to take steps at this time looking to
the solution Of this problem which
means so much to central Idaho"
