CLUB MEETS

Electric light stringers across Main
street was the principal subject of
discussion at the Monday luncheon of
the Commercial club. While no defi-
mite action was taken, the idea
seemed to find unanimous favor
Several members were enthusiastic in
their approval. 1t seemed the opinion
of the business men that something
was needed to brighten the town on
Saturday nights and during local cell
ebrations. The stringing of banners
and pennants to augment the lights
was also suggested.
The attendance at the weekly lunch
con was unusually small, owing to
many members being out of town.
Byron N. Hawks was temporary
chairman. The committee of five
appointed last week to confer with
Standpoint on the state highway cele-
bration reported no conference had
yet been effected.
In connection with Frightening the
appearance of Main street on Satur-
days and holidays, Chairman Hawks
said he had the two welcome signs
used so effectively by the Fourth of
July committee and that any local

( County Agent r. A. Alexander gave
an interesting talk on his fight
against insects. He reported partial
success in his war on grasshoppers,
saying that in localities where he
worked early in the season good re-
suits were obtained
Mr. Alexander blamed the preva-
lence of aphis this year to the work
of ants. "Aphis," he said, secret
fluid called honey dew This is
eaten by the ants, and in order to
keep up the supply of food, they will
carry the aphis from one feeding
ground to the other-that is, when
they have stripped the leaves from
one tree, they are transported to an
other, much as a farmer takes his
cows from pasture TO pasture to in
sure a good supply of milk"
Other pests which Mr.. Alexander is
fighting are the Canada thistle, quack
grass and potato diseases Regarding
the latter the county agent said he
had 25 farmers of the county, repre-
senting an acreage of from 25 to 35
acres, who had agreed to plant moth
ing but certified seed next year

Apportion School Money

The semi-annual apportionment to
the several counties of the state of
the. public school interest fund was
announced Thursday by the state SUI
perintendent of public instruction.
The apportionment, which is based on
the number of children in the state
of school age, totaled 1925, 5,769.49, and
was divided between the A counties.
Ada county received the largest
portion of the money, having more
children of school age than any other
Canyon county, however. run this a
close second, receiving approximately
$1,000 less. Ada county has more than
10000 children, and received $685.
1912.

IDAHO IS NOW
ON CASH BASIS
STATE TREASURER REPORTS
OVER Ss,00O,000 NOW IN
IDAHO TREASURY.
INCREASE in BUSINESS VOLUME
Report Shows Decrease in Amount OF
Expenditures.

The state of Idaho is on a cash ba-
sis; there is not single registered
warrant that has not been called for
payment, and there is cash in the
treasury to ain amount of $3,046, ,371.-
So"
This is the beginning of the 81
months report of ID. r. Banks, state
treasurer, to Governor ID. w. Davis.
The state treasurers fiscal year be-
gins Oct. /, and MIR. Banks report
covers the period from Oct. /, 1920,
to July l, 1922.
The treasurer shows in his report
that the volume of business connected
with receipts and disbursements has
increased 1856 per cent in the past 81
months over the like preceding pc
riod. To support this contention, he
includes in his report table of re-
ceipts and expenditures for the period
of Oct. /, 1918, to June 30 1920. This
table shows that in that time there
was received 1898 ,22130, and paid
out $13,626, ,244.12. In the period from
Oct. l, 1920, to July /, 1929, there was
received $22.084 ,33S51, and paid out
$21,237, 1864.
Also Mr.. Banks points out that
since he has been in office there have
been two less clerks in the office than
formerly and the appropriation for
the conduct of the office has been 10
per cent less. He says for the bien-
mum of 1919-20 the appropriation was
$32,950, while for his term of office
the sum allotted is S29,6 $50.
During the past Is months, Mr..
Banks says, the state has earned $5.72
for every dollar expended in that time
in the treasurer's office. The actual
a4h
while the office has expended $22,-
245.
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
that have occurred" he says, "the
state has not lost single penny. Not
only has the principal sum Of the de-
posit been collected, but also interest
on the daily balance at the rate of
per cent"
Indebtedness of the state is shown
to be as follows:
Bonds ............ S5,919 900
Treasury notes in anticipa-
ton of tax money ...... 1,735.000
Total ..... .....-........ S7,654,OO0
In closing his report Mr. Banks
compliments the administration on
the enactment of the law creating the
reclamation district bond commission.
He says
This commission, without any ex-
pense to the state, causes a complete
examination to be made of any irriga-
tion district wishing to issue bonds
Under certain rules the commission
approves such bond issues and certi-
fies its findings to the treasurer, who
places a proper certificate on each
bond.
This law has had a most beneficial
effect upon the reclamation credit of
the state. Irrigation bonds certified
by the commission have found a ready
and favorable market"

THIRD PARTY
in THE FIELD
PR0GRESSIyES PLAN TO HOLD
PRIMARY ELECTIONS THIS
YEAR In THIS COUNTY
is SOME QUESTION OF LEGALITY
Names of Committeeman and Officer,
of Election Submitted.

The county officers of the progrcs-
sive party have notified County Audi
tor Brody that the party will hold a
primary election August /, and have
advised him of the names of the var
ious precinct committeeman and the
persons who have been selected to
serve as judges and clerks of the elec-
tion.
This will be the first year in the
history of Boundary county that there
has been a third ticket in the field
and there is legal question concern
ing the status of the progressive party
which will have to be solved by the
attorney general. The present cleo
tion law requires the filing of nomi-
nation papers by democrats and re-
publicans wishing to become nomi-
nees of their party and fee to the
extent of one per cent of the first
years salary of the office sought, is
collected from each candidate and
turned into the general fund of the
county in which the filing is made.
1t was ruled two years ago that per-
sons who had not made the proper
filing on either the democrat or re-
publican ticket but whose names had
been written in at the primary cleo
tion on either ticket, could not quail
lfy and so become nominees of the
party on whose ticket their names had
been written and it was not permitted
to print the names of such persons
on the ticket at the general election.
There is no question but that the pro-
gressive party may secure a place on
the state ticket by the filing of peti-
ton.
In order to be on the safe side
County Auditor Brody has ordered an
extra supply of election supplies and
blank ballots for the use of the mem
bers of the progressive party. 1t
is understood that several members
OF the progressive party have their
names on the democratic ticket by
reason OF having voted the democratic
ticket two years ago when the non
partisans attempted to capture the
democratic party.
Apparently the progressives will
not try to hold elections in all the
twelve precincts of the county. And.
by the way, it will be remembered
that two years ago there were but
eleven precincts. The twelfth pre-
clnct was created recently and con-
sists of the district surrounding the
Cynide Gold Mining property and is
known as the Buckhorn precinct.
The officers of the progressive
party have filed lists of committee
men and judges and clerks for Port
hill, Bonners Ferry, North Bonners
Ferry, Meadow Creek, Leonia, Addie
and Naples precincts as follows:
Porthill Committeeman
c. j. Daufau; judges, A N. Green,

on ocean passage as compared with a

after word was circulated that an ag-
excessively bearish position as to wheat
had been taken by a Chicagoan who
last spring was conspicuous as bull.
Reports that Great Britain and France
