who was in Moscow Thursday. 1.-The
Volstead act adds much to the work
of the marshal's office, the liquor
cases being numerous, and there are
also quite number Of narcotic cases
to handle. Much of the work, how
ever, in the past three months, has
been of a civil nature. The increase
in the civil work is due largely to the
conditions resulting from the readjust-
ment period, with its attendant de-
preston in values. There are many
civil suits, bank cases, etc, which
come under the jurisdiction of the

Mr.. Breshears has been prominent
in business and in politics in south
ern Idaho for many years, and always
made his influence felt in behalf of
the University of Idaho. He prac-
tices what he breaches, sending his
children to the university as soon as
they complete their high school work.
His oldest son, Ralph, graduated
from the college of law at the Univer-
sity of Idaho last year and is now
successful practitioner at Nampa, this
state Three other sons. Arnold,
Howard and Sherman, are juniors
this year at the university. All three
are active in campus affairs Mr..
Breshears gave expression to the op-
inion that the Idaho parents who
send their children to some institu-
ton outside the state to secure their
education, can scarcely be called good
Idaho boosters.
The people of south Idaho are most
favorably impressed with President
Upham of the university, Mr.. Bre-
shears said, his visits to the southern
part of the state, and his public ad-
dress in the various communities,
having brought the university to their
attention in way that has made
them think. The taxpayers IN the

ity and of the opportunities which 1t

Conditions Improve in South
Conditions in the southern part OF
the state have improved materially
in the past two or three months, Mr.
Breshears stated. The prospects for
a good crop are cheering the people
up, a bumper fruit crop being prac-
tically assured and considerable
money has been realized during the
spring from the sale of heef cattle
and lambs, both of which have been
bringing good price. The big ton
mage of hay, which has been drag
on the market last fall, and which was
for a time looked upon almost as a
loss. has all been fed up and turned
off in livestock at profitable prices.
The acreage of potatoes planted TINS
spring is the largest in the history or
the country and should bring good re-
turns to the farmer. The farmers
made good money out of last years
potato crop, in most cases.
Mr. Breshears left Friday morning

turn to Moscow next week and will be
here during the time that the federal
court is in session.
