the public generally become convinced
that the department is administered ac-
cording to personal or political pull.
That the department under Mayor
Hylan and Commissioner Enright has
been too much subject to this demoral-
.zing tendency is established by the evil
dence before this committee.
Where the city's official business is
marked by such laxity and disregard for
the provisions of law, IT is not surpris-
ing that the semi-official undertakings
OF the department should be carried on
II an equally loose manner. A most con-
spicuous example of this was the ham
ding of the 1918 police games money.
These games were held during the war
for the avowed purpose OF equlpping
police reserves to take the place of po-
licemen drafted into military service.
According to the official report they
yielded s3S4.000. No equipment for the
police reserves was purchased from this
fund until after the armistice; as late
as the spring of 1921 money given by
the public for a patriotic war purpose
was being spent to buy uniforms for
lady members of the police reserves.
This lack of financial control invited
loss from carelessness or dishonesty.
and while the committee has not de-
veloped evidence proving dishonesty IT
10 ciedT tndt tnere was every OppOr-
tunity for juggling of accounts at the
expense of the fund. Such matters
vitality concern the public. The present
administration has encouraged the use
of the uniformed police force in selling
tickets for benefits and the police have
raised about $1.661.000 from the public
since 1918 for such purposes. The use
of the police force to raise money Is
highly improper. This improperly Is
enhanced when there is no adequate
control over the cash obtained The
committee recommends the enactment
OF legislation prohibiting such abuses.
The report reviews the investments of
Commissioner Enright and Edward l..
Hughes, Dominick Henry and John r.
Dwyer as inspectors and concludes:
These facts do not reflect credit on
these officials of the Police Department.
On the contrary, they tend to show G.
Generalization and lack OF principle
that seriously concern the citizens Of
New York"

The Police Department under Mayor

this demoralizing tendency has been
to weaken law enforcement in this

several departments was filed yester-
day With the Charter Revision Com

The same evening at 8 o'clock
meeting will be held at Southwck.
Prem Moore will speak on "The
Feeding and Housing of Poultry"

interesting and instructive manner.
Mr.. Moore is probably the most
noted authority on poultry IN the

Heavy Horses in Demand

Harry G.. Cranke, we'll known auc.
tioneer, who is now located at Mos
COW, was transactlng business in
Kendrick last Saturday. While
here he made the Gazette call and
IN talking over business conditions
in general seemed very optimistic.
He is looking forward to very
successful sales season. Sales which
he conducted recently were surpris-
ingly good. At one sale he received
an average OF S225 a head tor horses,
but they were heavy and young.
Light horses, in his opinion, will
not be IN demand but good heavy
stock is selling at fair prices.

Monady reported raid on a still
about two miles southwest OF Pot
latch, Saturday night. Two barrels
of mash and all necessary apparatus
for the making of liquor were
found but the makers had fled.
The mash was destroyed and the
still brought to Moscow. 1t IS be.
lieved the men responsible for the
still had received wind of the raid
and had fled. The raid was made
lns a thickly wooded area and the
approach of the officers was prob.
ably detected.
The raid came as a result of Ger.
tain tips that moonshlners were
operating IN that section of the
country. The escape of the mer
wanted is believed due to the mac
cessibiIity of the region that ma de

North is Optimistic

Northern Idaho farmers will be
in better financial condition this
fall than the farmers IN southern
Idaho.
This opinion is held by both w.
H. HerrIck, assessor of Shoshone
county, and A. d. Decker, repre-
sentative of the Potlatch Lumber
company. Latah County. Mr.. Her
rick is here to attend the annual
meeting of county assessors and Mr..
Decker came to meet with the state
board Of equalization. They are
stopping at the Owyhee, says the
Statesman.
Pesslnism in northern Idaho has
changed to optimism, these men de-
clared.
In the mines. they asserted,
year and half of depression has
been followed by renewed !actlvlty
and capital brought into Wallace,
at least, has already shown re-
markable and promising return.
Mines are running full blast IN
Wallace, the home of Mr.. Herrick,
and the smelter has two furnaces IN
operation.
Lumberlng is also looking up"
they added. Regarding the wheat
outlook among north Idaho farm
ers. they said that early season pes
simlsm over the poor stand of wheat
had come to naught and that re-
turns from threshers already at
work showed production of from
60 to 70 per cent of the normal,
they said, and because of this wheat
growers of the panhandle "have it
over" their fruit producing nelgh-
bors of south Idaho.

LOWER TUITION FOR

Cost per Pupil Will be Less
Than Last Year

The cost of maintaining the local
school last year was $12,O33. ID.
This was just $2O4.86 more than 1t
cost the previous year even tho an
additional teacher had Ibeen en-
ployed for the grades. The cost of
the high school last year was about
$3.50 per student per month less
than tor the previous year, or IN
other words of the $12,O33.l4 spent
for the school $5,673.l1 was tor the
high school. This makes an average
cost per student of S120.57 per year
or Sl3.40 per month. The previous
year the cost was about $16.7O per
student per month.
This week Mr.. E. E. Bechtol is
making some changes in the school
building that will add another room
to care for the needs CT the Com
merIcal students. The new room is

,Genesee News: While only a small
portion OF the threshing has been
done in this section, enough has
been threshed to give an idea of the

least u part of the fall sown grain.
Edgar Evans last week finished
threshlng his wheat and reports a
satisfactory average. He had IS
acres of summe rfallow which was
sown September to Red Russian,
which yielded an average of AZ
bushels per acre. He also had so
acres of summerfallow that was
sown just month later that averag-
ed about 80 bushels, and Is acres
of corn ground that averaged but 22
bushels, but on the whole the aver
age was far above that in most Sec
tons.

GRAIN YIELDS ARE
ABOVE EXPECTATIONS
Difficult to Estimate Average
for This Section

10 give an accurate report OF the
grain yields of the Potlatch would
be almost impossible. Publishing
a list of some of the best yields re-
ported would leave the impression
that this section harvested bump
er crop. On the other hand, If
none but the lowest yields were
given, the figures would look like
almost total failure. The Sec
tions of the Potlatch that were
blessed with the heavy rain the first
part OF June. have good crop aver
ages. but the spots that were mis-
sed have a very poor yield, except
in rare instances.
Conservative estimates place the
total average for the entire Pot
latch country at better than IL bus
hels. American ridge will aver
lage considerably over 20 bushels,
but that section had more late ram
tall than any other.
Carroll Cox of American ridge
reports an average of 80 bushels
on l20 acres and part of this was
stubble ground. Carl Hartung OF
Cameron made an average of &c
bushels from one of his fields
Art Rognstad got "a bushel average
on Big Bear ridge. On the same
ridge Thorvaid Nelson had 20 acres
that made IS bushels to the acre
and 1t IS reported that A. Hooker
on part OF his crop, got 4O bushels
the best yield on the ridge. Geo
Davidson on American ridge hac
one piece that went nearly 40 bush
els while his average was about 80
Bill Stump near Southwick got
about the best yield in h,s locality
with 80 bushel average. These ar.
some of the. good yields and a.
they make better showing thar
the poor ones, we will let it 60 al
that. 1t doesn't read like the Pot

FRATERNAL ORDERS
ASSIST WITH FAIR
Making Preparations for Big
Event Sept. IL

The Management of the Lewiston
Charleston Tri-State Far and Round
up has been most active IN Its
efforts to secure the cooperation
and assistance ot the various civic
and fraternal organizations IN stag
ing this years program and an
nouncement is now made that the
Knights of PythIas and the Dokles
will have charge of the formal
opening of the big exposition on
September IL. The Lewiston lodges
have sent out hundreds of invita-
tIons to their fraternal brothers.
asking them to visit Lewiston on
this auspiclous day and participate
IN the many festivities to be pro-
vided. 1t will be great day for
the knights and the Dokles and the
many stunts to be provided by these
lodgemen will add much to the big
program already secured by the far
management.
The making of the fair program
is now complete, according to an
announcement by Charles +. Parker
who will have charge of the race
events. Mr.. Parker states there
will be more and better horses in
the Lewiston stables this year thar
for many seasons and it is the pur
pose of the fair management to fea
ture the race and arena events al
the entertainment and amusement
program. In addition to these fea
lures. large number of specia
entertainers have been contracted S,
that the Lewiston fair program thi
year will be little short of a three
ring circus. The arena is bein,
constructed so that there will be n,
interference between the arena an,
