CHAUTAUOUA PULLS
OUT OF FERRY WHEN
TICKETS DON'T Sell

The chautauqua at Glenns Ferry
this week was called off at the last
minute by the company supplying the
talent, when II developed that only
about $175 worth OF tickets had been
sold and they had mo guarantors to
assume the deficit. II has become in
creasingly hard each year to secure
signersj for the guarantee demanded
by the chautauqua people, and last
year they were not secured either
at Mountain Home or Glenns Ferry.
But aother town fell down on their
guarantee and an attempt was mdae
TO fill the week at one of these places.
This city offered no encouragement
and the tickets were sent to the
Ferry, but noenthusiasm was shown
there so they received orders from
headquarters not to set up the tent.

Federal Hunters Make Huge Kills.

Federal hunters, working for the
United States biological survey in
the determination of predatory ami
mails, killed during the past IL
months, ending June 80, total OF
1888 animals, the greater part of
which were coyotes. The work of the
eight hunters report that the June
kill amounted to 172 animals, one
of which was large stock killing
bear, killed by G. w. Bryson, in the
desert south of the valley of the
Moon" the hunter reported that he
saw 1872 sheep killed by the bear
and 1t is estimated that $4,000 worth
of stock has been destroyed.
Only one cougar, or mountain lion
was killed by the hunters during
the year. The report states that the
saving to livestock and game from
the results of the years work re-
presented not less than quarter
of a million dollars.
The total kill by no menas re-
presents the total number of animals
exterminated. Poison, the chief
agent of destruction used by the
bureau, has accounted for about
three times as many more as are re.
ported because hunters estimated
that only about one out of every
four animals poisoned are found,
In placing the poison the carcass
es Of 1Se horses, 13 cattle, 625
sheep and $40 miscellaneous ami
mails were used as poison station |
A total of $4,000 poison |
bats were placed by the bureau. In I
addition, it is estimated that stock
men in the state, working in coop
GRAFTON with the hunters, placed a |
total of $4,000 poison bats. The re.
suit of these campaigns, the report
states, showed that 16 wolves, 21,
ia coyotes and 1875 bobcats were
destroyed.

I Wonder If

Queen Elizabeth would wear a

Eskimo pie?
Napoleon would have lasted very
long in the recent war?
Ivanhoe was great hero in his
age as Babe Ruth is today. There
were no newspapers in those days.
Anne Boleyn could have been di.
vorced by Henry VIII according to
the laws of Idaho?
Christopher Columbus would have
given his seat to lady in a street
car and stand up.
Rabelais' Pantagruel would have
thought of feasting with this mod,
ern hootch?
Julius Caesar would make much
of a salary if he got into the movies?

Idaho has over $3,OO0,OOO in Treas.

The state of Idaho Is on a cash
basis; there is not single register
ed warrant that has not been call
ed for payment, and there is cash
In the treasury to an amount Of
$3,046,3S1.50. Such is the report
of D. F. Banks, state treasurer.
The treasurer shows in his report
that the volume of business connect
ed with receipts and disbursements
has increased 1856 per cent In the
past 21 months over the like pre-
ceding period. The state official
calls attention to what he terms
the admirable spirit of the bonding
companies of the state in paying
state claims against defunct banks.
In the several bank failures, the
state has not lost single penny.
Not only has the principal sum of
the deposit been collected, but also
interest on the daily balance at the
rate of three percent.

Summer Clothes and the Wearers.

While woman's appearance i'm
proves with summer, her dainty
shimmering hot weather dresses add
ing to her attraction, mans pride
in his appearance wanes. His care
fully creased trousers and coat,
nesting close to his shoulders, and
fitting snug at the waist, gives
way to the baggy, increased, ill
fitting, summer suit. Mans summer
suit is Unitarian; 1t is not beauti-
full. Fetchingly garbed in organdies
and georgettes of soft pastel shades
woman defies the heat of the SUNNI
er and looks none the worse for 1T.
Not so with man. He hurriedly dons
fabrics that bag, stretch and wrinkle
fabrics that give him a saggy,
droopy appearance. His sartorial
splendor willis before the hot blasts
of summer. While woman erases the
heat with a few pats and dabs at
her face with powder puff, man,
his face shining, his hair touseled
Precipitation whiting his collar, mops
at his steaming brow continuously.
The dapper figure in form-fitting
coat, carefully tailored trousers,
hair sleek and carefully brushed, of
spring, undergoes a metamorphisis
in summer. He may even stoop to
wear the alpaca coat, whose unstyl-
ish appearance is familiar to all
who have listened to political speak
ers.

10 per cent cut in the legislative APP
preparation to conduct the office, he
has kept within the appropriation
and, at the same time, has handled
greatly increased volume of bus
iness.
Incidentally, the treasurer's office
Is one Of the few that actually re-
turns to the state treasury net
income above the cost of operation.
During the past two years the office
has earned in actual cash, $5.41 for
every dollar expended.

CITY PARK MAKES
fine GROUND FOR
HOLDING PICN|CS

Last Friday evening several
groupes and their chaperones picnic
ed in the city park. The children
came all dressed In their white
dresses and by the time they were
ready to go home the dresses were
no longer clean and white, but were
batiked with green. There Is no
place to sit only on the lawn, or the
gravel walk.
The ladies who chaperoned the
children, while standing first on one
foot and the the other, wondered
why 1 twouldn't be a good job for
the organizations about town to
furnish a bench each. Perhaps some
one has wash bench they would
donate as a strater, then the visitors
who visit the park ON Sundays all
dolled up in their best, will not be
batiked.
And at the tourist kitchen it Is
advocated to keep it clean, and no
evidence of broom ormop. Here
donation would come under that
imperative law, do unto others.
Conditions at the park are fine.
the lawn well kept and clean. The
children enjoy the swing and the
chute, which has been moved a
safe distance from the wading pond
The tourist park is full each evening
with folks going in every direction,
and from the inscriptions on the
wall are all we'll satisfied with the

No Federal FRUIT
INSPECTION HERE

Following more than months
deliberatlon and investigation, Miles
Cannon, state commissioner of agTi-
culture, Thursday refused to accept
the proposed federal cooperative
agreement for this year covering the
inspection of Idaho fruits and yege-
tables
He made this fact known to the
Idaho produce-shipping world by
means of letter giving the entire
history Of the states dealings with
the federal government since the
question of inspection come up this
year. This letter has been mimeo-
graphed and sent broadcast over the
state.
The state will do its own inspec-
tion this year and give a shipping
point certificate, which, Mr. Cannon
says, will be just as good In any
court as federal certificate. He
cites a case where a Minnesota fed
eral Judge so held
Mr. Cannons attack upon the pro-
posed plan of cooperation offered
by the federal government this year
centers chiefly on a provision of the
agreement whereby the state would
be Obliged to pay the federal govern
ment so cents for each car OF pro-
duce inspected in the state.
Under the proposed agreement the
state would have to maintain its in
spectors, keep its organizations in
tact, and at the same time pay about
$4,000 into the national treasury
for which, 1t is alleged, there would
be no return.
With the possibility OF the inspec-
tion OF 10000 cars of produce this
year, Mr., Cannon thinks $4,000 is
too much to pay into the national
treasury to cover the services of one
man, who would be paid $2700 a
year. The excess was to be used to
pay expenses Of federal officials who
desired to make the trips to the
coast.

150-foot districts. however, the limit
fixed is merely a limit at the property
line, and after reaching such height,
buildings may go higher II set back
one foot for each three feet Of addi-
tional height. This setback must be
from the side and rear lines of the lot
as we'll as from the street line. 1t is
also provided that the board Of coming
appeals may permit tower covering
not more than 25 per cent of the area
of the lot to be erected to any height.
150-Foot Height Limit
The 150-foot height limit applies to
the central business section with the
exception Of the frontage around the

the frontage along tho Plaza and to
the commercial, industrial and eleva-

existing uses Of property. A use or
building existing at the time Of the
passage CT the coming ordinance which
does not comply with the regulations
Of the district in which it Is located
is called a non-confornning use. Such
uses and buildings may be continued.
The coming ordinance is not ro-
troactive. If, for example, there is a
store, in a block that under the zoning
ordinance Is included in dwelling
house district. the store may, neverthe-
less, be continued. A building hous-
ing a non-conforming use may not,
however, be structurally altered to an
extent exceeding during any 1o-year
value Of the building.
Enforcement Board of Zoning Appeals
The zoning ordinance will be en-
forced by the commissioner Of build
ings. No building permit will be
issued unless the building and its pro-
posed use conform to the coming reg
ulations.
In the application of the coming
ordinance many cases will arise, espe-
cially near the dividing line between
two use districts. where the strict
letter Of the zoning regulations may
properly be modified. This can be
done in specific cases without injury
to the general public purpose Of the
ordinance, while at the same time
avoiding unnecessary injury to the
individual owner. Strictly limited
discretion is therefore lodged in a
board OF coming appeals created by
