bound to appoint the nearest OF
kin residing in the county wherein
the minor resides competent to act
as guardian. The Objectionable fea-
ture of this provision is, the COM
rittee said, that the court is given
no discretion no matter what the
relationship may be or how ill-sort
ed such an appointment may be, the
court is bound to make it. This
prevents a trust company from be-
ing appointed guardian.
Under Old Law
Under the old tenant law the
tenant by the courtesy had an es-
tate for life in all the lands of
which his wife died seized The
new act says that he shall be ten
ant by the courtesy in one-third
thereof
at does not say what particular
third he should have whether 1t
shall be an undivided third or whe.
Their his courtesy shall be set apart
to him in the same manner that a
widows dover is set apart"
In concluding the report, the
committee said:
IF the modern woman desires to
put herself on the same footing
with the man, why did she not get
the legislature to abolish both dow,
er courtesy and all the rights oil
each in the estate of the other
why shop half way. On the other
hand, If the poor man is to be
made into widow, we think a bet
ter Job could have been made Of 1t
with the exercise of more care ne
certainly has been treated with
scant courtesy.

RESUME ROAD WORK.

Work on the road leading out
of Cottonwood was resumed the
first of the week by Felix Mart
zen, the local contractor, when
the rock crusher was again set
in motion. The crusher is now
being operated by a tractor in
stead of the 80 horse power mo-
tor, due to the fact that the min
imum charge for the motor is
$50 a month whether it is run
one day or 80. With weather
conditions so uncertain at this
time of the year it was thought
best to install the tractor, it is
giving good service although not
running the crusher as fast as
the electric power. Under nor
NAL weather conditions, with the
assurance of the greater part of
the month being good weather
the electric power, it is said,
would prove to be the cheapest
in the long run.

GAVE INTERESTING TALK.

Ffedeflck Benz, the pOtatOe
king" Of the northwest gave a
very interesting and instructive
lecture at the l. o. o. F hall
Tuesday morning. His subject
was "Potatce Culture and Mark
eting."
Ten years ago Mr.. Benz was
broken in health and in poverty.
Now, he and his seven sons oper-
ate a S250,000 corporation, and
he is the possessor of both health
and wealth, all from raising po-
tatoes, and he is ready to tell
others how to do it. The first
year he planted five acres of po-
tatoes; the second, ten; the
third, forty; and since that time
never less than eighty acres.
His gross annual revenue now
ranges from $4,000 to $50, 900.
He operates 465 acres, growing
sugar beets, alfalfa, barley, corn
and other crops.
He has developed his own
methods by experience, study
and observation and has some
original ideas about potato cul-
ture. including the selection of
the seed. He has discarded many
of the methods known for hun
dreds of years.
Mr.. Benz is an agricultural
agent for the Northern Pacific,
and ]. w. Jordan, district freight
and passenger agent for the
same road, with headquarters in
Lewiston, who accompanied him
here. stated that Mr.. Benz is
making the tour under heavy
expense to the company with
the sole object in view that
farmers will go into diversified
farming and not solely depend
upon the wheat crops.
His lecture was heard by a
large number of farmers, busi-
ness men and high school stu
dents.

ROBBERY ALARM GIVEN.

A general alarm was sounded
over the local telephone line
about five o'clock Friday morn
ing that the Bank of Orofino was
being robbed. and that all able
bodied male citizens were wanted
at once to try and prevent the
robbery and, if possible, capture
the outlaws. In an Incredibly
short time a large number had
gathered in the vicinity of the
bank, armed with everything
from a gatling gun to a pitch
fork, ready to do battle in de-
fense of the local banking insti-
tution-but there were no rob-
bers. At about the hour when
the alarm was given the electric
power system failed to work and
the power was cut off. Evidently
the Pickering of the night light
in the bank as it went out caused
the operator of the local tele-
phone exchange to believe that it
was being tampered with by
robbers = hence the alarm

FEDERAL FUNDS
HELP STABILIZE
LOANS APPROVED BY IDA.
HO AGENCY OF WAR FL
NANCE CORPORATION.

In the past week Idaho has
been enriched to the extent of
approximately $300,000 through
funds received on loans approved
by the Idaho committee of the
federal War Finance corporation
it is disclosed in a statement
given out at the Boise head
quarters Of the agency Saturday.
Within 60 or 80 days, the state
ment says, two or three million
dollars of additional money will
be brought to the state through
the Idaho agency of the federal
corporation.
The committees statement
follows:
Loans Passed Almost S75O,O0O
''The Idaho committee of the
War Finance corporation has
passed loans aegregating almost
three-quarters of a million dol
lars during the first month of its
operations, some 100000 of
which has heen received by bor-
rowers during the past week.
During the next 60 or 80 days
the War Finance corporation will
be the means of bringing to Ida
no some two or three million dol
lars of additional money. This
will be by loans to livestock loan
companies and to btnks.
1.-THE War Finance corporation
has already been the means of
stimulating the sheep and cattle
industry making it possible to
hold in the state of Idaho many
thousands of head of breeding
stock which otherwise would
have been shipped to the pack
ers. Extensive arrangements
have Eeen made for financing a
program contemplating an order
ly and conservative Importation
Of high grade dairy cows.
Better Market Imminent.
Increasing the numbers of
livestock is the first step in
bringing prosprity to the Idaho
farmer. The progress that has
already been made and that
which will be accomplished in
the near future offers much en-
couragement to the farmer in
the way of a better market for
his hay and feedstuffs which,
during the past year, have been
practically unstable.
"The War Finance corporation
proposes to back the agricultur-
al and livestock interests to the
limit and will loan freely to
banks in order to enable such in
stitutions to carry the farmer so
that he may be able to go
through the present readjust-
ment period which has dealt
severly with the farmer in that
the returns from his crops have
heen out of all proportion to
their cost of production.
''If the War Finance corpora
ton had been brought into ex-
istence earlier a good many of
the bank failures could have
teen avoided"

WILL PAY ACC
ON THE DOLLAR
UNION STATE BANK DEPOS-
ITORS AT NEZPERCE
HEAR REPORT.

Nezperce, Dec. Three hun
dred depositors at the Union
State bank, which closed its
doors November 8 after discrep-
ancies were found because of al
legged irregularities and forgeries
by E. Weinss, former cashier of
the bank, met today and heard a
report by J. G. Fralick, state
bank commissioner, concerning
the condition of the bank. A
general discussion followed the
report concerning reorganization
and the reopening Of the institu-
ton.
The report indicated that the
bank has reliable assets amount
ing to S202,720.04, which Mr..
Fralick classified as good and
slow assets; doubtful and bad as
sets amounted to $127, ,923. go
the amount owed to other banks
is $136,410.61. After the amount
owed to banks is deducted from
the reliable assets there is a bal
ance left of $66.3309.43 with
which to pay depositors. The de-
posits at the time of the closing
of the bank amounted to $143,-
173.03. If all the collections
classed rs reliable are collected,
there will be enough to pay the
depositors approximately 48
cents on the dollar.
Mr.. Fralick declared that re-
organization of the bank could be
effected if the depositors would
get behind the movement. Those
present voted unanimously to
support such a movement and ap
pointed a committee of Is local
depositors chosen from the at
tendance to investigate further
and learn the possibilities of the
plan outlined by Mr.. Fralick.
The committee will investigate
the probability of the collection
of the assets and make q full re-
port at a meeting of the deposit
ors to be held 80 days from this
date, at which time the possibil-
ity of reorganization and reopen
ing will be definitely decided
upon.
There is a general feeling of
optimism concerning the affairs
of the defunct institution.
