Poem written Br Local GirI

The following poem, entitled ASH
es," is reprinted from the editorial
page of the Spokane Chronicle of Feb
ruary IA. The author is Bonners
Ferry girl, Miss Lillian Brown, grand
daughter of d. G. Farnsworth. the
wellknown merchant of this place.
The maturity of expression and senti-
ment shown in this poem is truly re-
markable in one so young, Miss Brown
being member of the sophomore
class in the local high school.
Dawn in the temple-the watcher
prays
By the sacrificial fire,
And the prayer he prays for his man
hood days
Is prayer for his hearts desire.
Night in the temple-the watcher
stands,
Head bowed form bent with care,
And looks at the altar with pain-filled
eyes,
For only the ashes are there.

Tax Problems Considered

County Assessor w. G. Reid reports
that at the annual meeting of the
county assessors held at Boise last
month most of its attention was given
to the question of how to lessen the
burden of taxation by more equitable
valuations. A plan was endorsed to
abolish the state board of equalization
and to substitute therefor a state tax
commission, it being considered that
an efficient tax commission was the
best solution of the valuation problem.
1t was believed that only in this man
ner could the desired result be at
tanned of each class of property pay
ing its proportionate share of the tax
burden. The assessors desired to en-
phasize their opinion that such a COM
mission must have sufficient power to
make its work effective and that it
should have not only the power of
equalization and assessment of the
property of public utilities, but also
the power to supervise the levying of
taxes by different taxing units
throughout the state, having in mind
that the ability of the property to paw
the tax is the first consideration.

Present Divorce Laws Not Salutary

The Readers Club met on Tuesday
afternoon at the home of Mrs e. l..
Squirting. A very interesting program
was presented, Mrs. Byron n. Hawks
presiding in the absence of the presi-
dent, Mrs. Geo. r. Gray. The roll call
was current events. At the close of
the business session Mrs. ]. r. Wiley
completed an interesting review of
Strachey's Life of Queen Victoria The
main event of the afternoon was a
debate on the question Resolved that
our divorce laws are not vicious"
Mrs. Ivan Neill upheld the affirmative
or the argument and Mrs. w. o. Rose
baugh the negative. Both sides were
ably presented, all phases of the sub
Ject being considered, and the debate
was listened to by the members with
interested attention. The judges were
Mrs. Il. M. Flood, Mrs. o. C. Wilson
and Miss Vina O'Callaghan Their de-
clsion, given on points, was in favor
OF the side holding that our present
divorce laws are vicious.
After the decision of the Judges was
announced a general discussion of the
question was indulged in. The con-
census of opinion being that the alb
sence of uniformity in the divorce
laws OF the several states had a de-
cidedly demoralizing effect on the
morale of our people, and that gener-
ally speaking divorces can be too cas-
lily obtained.
The attention of the members of the
club is called to the change in dates
OF meetings made in compliance with
the terms of the constitution. The
new dates are February 2S and March

Farm Bureau Rates Unchanged

AT meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Boundary County Farm
Bureau held at the courthouse ON
Saturday last, after financial report
of the treasurer, j. j. Kindschuh, had
been read, and in view Of the excel
lent financial condition of the local
bureau as shown by that report, it..
was unanimously decided by the exc
cutive committee that it would not be.
necessary to raise the membership fee.
from $3.50 to $500 per year. At a
prior meeting of the bureau held at
the international Hotel banquet hall
on January 21, it had been proposed
to increase the annual membership fee
to $500. The action of the executive
committee does away with the pro-
posed increase and no raise in the dues
will therefore be made for this year.
The executive committee proposes
in the near future to hold a series of
meetings at various points in the coun-
ty to bring before the farmers of the
community the benefits to be derived
through membership in the Boundary
County Farm Bureau and the Idaho
and American Farm Bureau Fedora

Idaho has a state institution that
contributes largely to its own sup
port and at the same time gives the
boys and girls of that school a prac-
tical, workable education; something
that fits them for the common, every
day work that they will meet with
and come in contact with when they
are out in the world for themselves.
The institution in question is the
State Industrial School at St. Anthony.
The superintendent of that institution
in a recent statement made a show
ing that is worth while. He shows
that the 275 boys and girls on the
farm and in the school produce prac-
tically all of the food which they and
the officers of the institution consume
throughout the year.
The food is produced on the farm
by practical methods; that which is
not used for immediate consumption
is dried. preserved or canned by the
girls Of the school. The hay is fed

GROOM MOORE
FOR GOVERNOR
SUCCESSFUL FARMER OF ST.
ANTHONY LIKELY CANDIDATE
IN REPUBLICAN CIRCLES
FOUR WILL SEEK REFLECTION
Political Pot at State Capitol Starts
To Boil Bit.

BOISE, Feb. 14.-It is now practical
ly assured that four of the present
state officials will be candidates for
reelection in Idaho for the offices
which they now hold, they being r. o.
Jones, secretary of state; K. r. Gallet,
state auditor; Dan f. Banks, state
treasurer, and Stewart Campbell, state
mine inspector.
1t is now reasonably certain that
Governor Davis will not be a candi-
date to succeed himself. Attorney
General Roy l.. Black will not be a
candidate for reelection but the polit-
ical forecast is that the retiring at
torney general would like to be a
candidate for governor and it is alto
gether probable that If North Idaho
decides on putting man in the field
for that office that Attorney General
Black will be the candidate.
Miss Ethel Redfield, state superin-
tendent of public instruction has
practically decided not to become a
candidate for reelection.
According to the best informed
there will be little, probably no oppo-
sltion to Gallett as state auditor, Jones
as secretary of state, Banks as treas
urer and Campbell as state mine in
spector. Gallett and Jones have each
served two terms but with such salts
faction to the state and credit to them
selves that the republican voters and
good business heads of the state feel
that change would be of no benefit
as these men know their jobs and
have performed the duties of the off
ces they fill with credit.
Banks, treasurer. and Campbell have
each served one term and according to
custom are entitled to a reelection.
Quoting a we'll known republican
party leader, Lieutenant Governor C.
Z. Moore, of st. Anthony is the logi-
cal candidate for governor and the re-
publican party and the voters of the
state want him and he can start at
Ieton county and come on down the
Snake river, counting both sides and
carry every county without opposition
to and including Elmore county and
with mighty good chance in the
north of the state.
Z. Z. Moore is a business man and
successful farmer and stock raiser of
the st. Anthony country, has been a
resident of the state for 81 years and
has been a builder and developer and
understands the needs of the people
OF Idaho, particularly at this time.
and that as governor he will give the
state a straightout, clean and clear cut
business administration. The only on
position which Lieut.. Governor Moore
could expect from his own party would
be from that faction that oppose his
stand on the statewide primary ques-
ton and in that Lieut. Governor Moore
expressed himself without fear of re-
suit or consequences, giving his hon
est opinion on the matter without fear
or regard for future politics.

IMPRESSED WITH NINE SCHEME
r. b. Hines OF Standpoint Visits the
Idaho Gold and Ruby Mine.

r. b. Hines, the wellknown pho
tographer of Standpoint, paid visit to
the Idaho Gold and Ruby mines at
Leonia last week to take pictures of
the property. He was thoroughly i'm
pressed with the work being carried
on and in an interview published in
the Friday Pend d'Oreille Review, OF
Standpoint, had the following to say:
II was amazed by the stupendous
work being done at Leonia. The mill
is long building, built on q canal
which comes in tunnel under a
mountain. 1t has two stories above
the surface and two stories below the
ground. 1t will have % tables for
the washing and panning of the gold
and rubies which are thick in the
black sands of Boulder creek. They
have six S-inch nozzles at their hy-
draulic stands and the entire develop
ment is almost ready to start opera
tions.
Talk about big Say, the Arm
strong mine isn't in it with the Leonia
project. ]. M. Schnatterly, the pro-
motor, was offered $25, 100000 and his
own figure for his commission, for
the property and he refused. How
muCn the nrsI screenings give the
company | don't know but the small
rubies and gold in the second screen
ings, by-product only, will net more
than 1925 to the ton.
"The work now nearing completion
is remarkable from another stand
point, too. For Is years or more,
Schnatterly was trying to develop the
property. He went through two re-
ceiverships, had other difficulties, had
work done on stock and right now the
whole force at the placer field is
working for their board and stock
and crazy to keep going and get the
thing producing. 1t promises to be
one of the biggest things in this sec
ton of the country"

SON Lnd :. W King left Saturday At.
ternoon for Boise to attend the meet
ing of federal and state officers who
planned to make apportionments of
road money Tuesday or Wednesday of
this week
The county officials were assured
last week that Mr.. Hail. commissioner
of public highways would recommend
that federal money be apportioned for
the Roosevelt Highway in this county.
but they hope while at Boise to influ-
ence the state highway department in
helping the Bonners Ferry-PorthilI
road.
AS the Herald goes to press the fol-
lowing telegram was received from.
Editor King:
Boise, Idaho, February 16, 1922.
Conference concluded tonight with
federal officers from Washington, ID.
c., Ogden, Utah, and Missoula No
definite appropriations named but we
are conceded a sufficient sum to care
for Roosevelt and North and South
highways. Federal officers stated ex-
pected work to be started this year.
Six delegations attended conference
making requests totaling seven mill
lion dollars. Commissioner Hall and
Director Olson gave Boundary county
every consideration, named Roosevelt
road state highway and placed it
and North and South highway on pri-
mary list, which means we will have
just consideration when distribution
of federal road money is made at final
conference to be held at Washington

Boundary county is to be organized
this week for its share in the effort
of the Near East Relief to take care
of group of orphan children left
without support or shelter by war and
deportations in Asia Minor.
N. T. Sturges, of Spokane, arrived
here today in the interests of the Near
East Relief. Mr. Sturges is a retired
salesman, having worked with one
Chicago firm for 20 years, the last
five as general salesman going from
New York City to San Francisco and
from Mexico into Canada. He lived
for over a year in Armenia and Pales-
tine and ate their bill of fare when
his stomach would permit
He has fust finished gathering 10
carloads of wheat in Whitman county,
Wash, and near Moscow, Idaho.
While at Moscow he found a large
quantity of beans grown near there
and influenced the farmers to sort
them out and sell the small and split
beans at two cents pound and then
give half of the bill to relief work.
Last year Bonners Ferry was asked
for $400 and gave $435 and this year
the relief can get car of beans for
$500.
Rev Morton is chairman of the com
mittee and will commence the work
at once, as it gives to the kiddies and
kiddies only.
Conditions in the Near East have
reached crisis, it is declared, and
food, clothing and medicine are now
desperately needed for thousands be-
set by disease and famine all along the
Black Sea coast.

INCREASE in
LEGISLATURE
WILL HAVE TOTAL OF 109 MEM
BERS In THE SESSION TO BE
HELD IN 1928
NO CHANGE IN THIS COUNTY
Only the Largely Populated Districts
Are Benefited.

The seventeenth session of the Idaho
state legislature which will begin jan
uary s, 1928, will have 109 members,
an increase of IL representatives over
the 1921 session. These figures were
announced Saturday by Robert o.
Jones, secretary of state, who certi-
fies to the county auditor of each
county according to law the number
of representatives each county is en-
titled to have in the legislature every
two years.
Ten counties of the state received
additional representation in the house
for the 1923 session. Canyon county
gained two members and all the other
nine gained one. Northern counties
whose representation was increased
are: Bonner, Idaho and Nez Perce.
The other counties are: Ada, Ban
mock, Bingham, Bonneville, Cassia,
Twin Falls and Canyon.
There is no change in the upper
house quota, which consists of A SEN
ators.
Representation in the lower house
of the legislature is based on the total
vote cast for all candidates for COVER
nor at the last general election. Each
county in the state is entitled to one
representative for each $500 votes and
remaining fraction thereof amounting
to 1000 votes or more.
Two Sessions Compared.
Following is a list of the counties
and the representation to which they
are entitled in the 1923 session com
pared with the 1921 session:

fortune of various kinds; in many in
stances for the reason that the home
environment was not good or the indi-
viduals transgressed on the law.
The school is making useful future
citizens of many of them and at the
same time educating them along prac-
tical lines that will stand them in
good need when they go out into the
world to earn their own living.
This great work costs the state but
little when compared with the good
accomplished, and the wonder comes
into the minds of many if it would
not be just as we'll or better than some
of the present methods for other in
stitutions of the state, educational or
otherwise, to be conducted on the
same wise plan Certainly it is hard
to conceive of anything better than to
fit hundreds of the boys and girls of
the state to be able to take care of
themselves largely through self-edu-
cation.

WANT THREE CARS OF CATTLE


K. K. Alexander, county agent, re-
ports that there is demand in Bound
airy county for about three carloads
of dairy cattle of the Holstein- -Freisan
and Guernsey breeds according to the
answers of 81 farmers to the ques-
tionnaire sent out about two weeks
ago. Seven requests were for a total
of % purebred and IL grade Holsteins.
Ten requests were for q purebred
and 81 grade Guernseys. One request
was for two head of either Holstein
or Guernsey depending upon the
choice of the majority of the commu-
nifty. Two requests were for Jerseys.
Several carloads of Holsteins, Jer-
seys and Guernseys have been shipped
into South Idaho within the last four
months. The Holsteins and Guernseys
were purchased in Wisconsin, and the
Jerseys came from Utah and Oregon.
In response to inquiry regarding the
South Idaho shipments, Mr.. Cammack,
field dairyman of the extension service
wrote the following:
Il have seen most of the dairy cat
tie brought into Idaho from the east
and ! consider them very good. The
majority of them have cow-testing as
soclatlon records and are well devel-
oped stock. The prices have been
about as follows: Holsteins, yearling
heifers $50 to $50, bred heifers $40 to
$S5, cows $65 to $110; Guernseys from
$40 to 500 higher. Purebreds will cost
so per cent more on the average than
the grade prices. Jerseys we are buy
ing in Utah and Oregon and find that
we can buy them from 10 to 20 per
cent lower than Holstein prices. The
freight can be figured at approximate
ly $40 to $12 per head depending upon
the number shipped in the car, the
ages, etc.
Concerning the expenses, will say
that one territory made the mistake
OF sending too many buyers into the
field which had slightly detrimental
effect on the prices but under present
conditions, we are working independ-
emily of any organization which we
think is the best plan, and by making
personal survey in community and
judicious buying we can get them ap-
proximately as before
