SENATOR PORTER'S BILL WOULD
INCREASE EXPENDITURES
FOR IMPROVEMENTS

BOISE-County commissioners are
given additional power by bill in
troduced into the senate of the six
teenth legislature by Senator Porter
of Latah county. 1t provides that the
county officers may make improve
ments on buildings to the extent OF
$4,000 instead of $1,000, as is now pre-
scribed by law, without putting the
question to public vote.
Immediate passage of the tax re-
lief measure introduced by Witty OF
Bannock county was urged in let
ter from the Rigby Chamber OF Com
merce read at the Monday morning
session of the senate. The bill would
extend the time for paying 1920
(. tax on real personal property until the
fourth Monday in May. The letter
stated that it would greatly relieve
the farmers, who had been unable to
dispose of their crops.
Senate bills Nos. II and IA were
fostered by the judiciary committee
and were the first committee mea-
sures to be introduced into the SEN
ate of this session. Bill No. II pro-
vides for the payment and fixes the
compensation of employees and addi-
tional employees of the legislature at
S. per day.
Fixes Members Salaries
Members of the legislature are al
lowed $5 per day for salary and 10
cents per mile for travel each way,
by bill No. IA. The only exception
to this is in the case of the presiding
officer, who is to receive $500 for the
session.
Senator Whitcomb Of Lemhi coun-
ty, chairman Of the judiciary COM
mittee, said that both bills should be
passed, as at present there was no
proper provision made for these mat
ters.
Senator Witty introduced measure
amending section 6901 of the COM
piled statutes relating to the contents
of the Judgment roll and requiring ad-
ditional data be contained therein.
He also introduced an amendment
providing for a reporter for supreme
court decisions and fixing his salary
at three dollars decision. The mea-
sure also provides for the distribu-
tion. exchange and sale Of Idaho re-
ports.
President Moore of the senate
signed house bill No. /, providing for
an appropriation to cover the expenses
of the session and returned it to the
house of representatives.
Miss Josephine King has been elect
ed as an additional general committee
clerk for the upper house.

Such an ordinance as the city has

SAYS PRICES OF
LUMBER TOO HIGH
SAWMILL OWNER CLAIMS PROF.
IT'S OF 100 TO 800 PER CENT Z
HAVE BEEN MADE

There need be little surprise that
Moscow is short of buildings for
homes and business and that property
owners have refused to erect homes
Tor sale or rent in Moscow, if the
statements OF Harry RaWSOn, well
known citizen Of Moscow and owner
Oh sawmill eight miles from Viola,
are true. Mr.. RawsOn makes the
startling statement that from 100 to
300 per cent profit has been charged
Moscow consumers of lumber by local
yards for lumber bought at his mill.
He asks the citizens of Moscow to
unite and form a corporation to es-
tablish an independent lumber yard
here and sell lumber at reasonable
prices to Moscow citizens and farmers
who desire to build. Mr.. RawsOn has
written a letter to The Star-MirrOr
in which he sets forth some startling
statements of prices charged for lum-
Der here. His communication fol-
lows:

Editor of Star-MirrOr,
Dear Sir:
| see by your paper that some OF
the lumber yards are announcing
big cut in the price of lumber. Well,
they will have to drop again before
they get down to where Il have been
selling it all winter AS l see it, there
has been no use of lumber selling so
high in Moscow at any time. For in

yards in Moscow in 1919. The prices

Viola 1T was sold in Moscow from
$40 to $120 per thousand feet The
consumer of lumber in Moscow will
never get a square deal on lumber
when there is no Independent yard in

lumber here but it is an open secret

They try to string the GUS
somer about cheap green lumber from
he little mills, but where does most
If the lumber come from? 1t would

to form stock company and
maintain a yard in Moscow and

Special Despatch 70 THE Nnw YoEE HERALD.
PHnADELPHIA. Aug. 13-There was
no holding the Yankees to-day. They
beat the Athletics twice and beat them
thoroughly. The scores were to for
the first game and 1S to for the
second.
The Yankee hits were many and
were sent spinning along the ground
and through the air Moreover in
each game they were grouped for
large results.
Mays In the first pitched a game
safe and sound. Collins in the second
was not nearly so adept.
Meusel cloutered up the afternoon
with two home runs and two singles
and batted In seven runs.
1t was like old times here in one
respect The attendance recalled the
days of the champion Athletics and
was the largest in Philadelphia since
the worlds series OF 1914 1t over
flowed onto the field and was about
2S, 900 strong The stands were jammed
and certain bold members OF the popu-
lace patronized the steel girders.
The first game was held UP at inter
walls while the fans scampered across the
pasture to the roped OFF section in right
field. The police looked on placidly, and
more thar one boy climbed the fence
and dropped safely within. Fans about
the walls storned a gate and crowd
Of them burst through before the coppers
could close them. However. everybody
was good natured about it. That Is,
until the ninth inning of the second game
when unruly fans crowded the foul lines
and cushions Uttered the field. A cush-
ion fight followed the games until two
bold policemen punched one understood
member OF the festive fans. The COPS
did little during the game to keep he
crowd In check.

Mr.. Ruth Strikes Out.

BY way Of introducing himself in the
first game Mr.. Romn1el struck out Mr..
Ruth IN the first inning. Rommel threat
ened TO be a right stingy antagonist. Six
Yaniss and no more faced him in the first
two innings. Ward prodded him for =
two Dagger in the third and schang ut
once slapped single TO right Ward
scored and Schang took second when
Perkins missed the throw in.
Then Higgins for some deep occult
reason shifted TO the bunt and Mays
sacrificed. That, mind you. with none
out. a man on second and a hitting rally
on. Hits by Miller and Peck. Ruths iy
to deep centre and Dykes's mum of fly
from Baker scored four runs.
Dinneen made a poor decision In the
fifth when he called Peck safe, but two
were out and Ruth swung at three and
nothing and fouled out. Fine baseball
swinging with a count of three and
nothing
In the sixth the Yanks replenished
with two. following .. home tally from a
triple and an out. Pipp singled and q
parade or Sieusel's club flew into ths
left field stand for Meusel's eleventh
home run OF the year. Sehang made a
hard running catch In the seventh when
he plucked a foul out OF the bats and
other articles at the dugout.

New York had many chances. but they
went wrong. In the first Bancroft sin

The Giants had another fine Chance
in the second. With Kelly out of the

both went for his high one and Olson
got 1t. but he bumped into the second
baseman and dropped the ball. Raw
lings singled to right and sent Meusel to
third.
Bases Full, One Out.
Snyder was passed on purpose. and
the bases were full with only one out.
But Robbie's calculation that there was
a great chance for a double play worked
out as he had expected. for Toney
grounded to Schmandt. who got Meuscl
at the plate and then received the relay
in time to retire the slow runner.
In the fourth Meusel singled. went to

Ruether hit two men and yielded a
double in the eighth, yet the Giants

with one out. Snyder was hit in the
chest and took his base. Toney grounded
to Kilduff and advanced both runners.
Burns was hit on the arm. and he too
took his base, but not before he had
