BOYS and GIRLS.
ARE APPRECIATIVE
SHORT COURSE STUDENTS THANK
UNIVERSITY FACULTY AND
MOSCOW CITIZENS

The boys and girls from each of
the seven north Idaho counties, who
were in attendance at the first an
nual junior extension short course,
held at the University of Idaho last
week, expressed their appreciation in
resolutions of the courtesy and hos
pitality of President. A. H. Upham,
the university authorities, the cham
ber of commerce, and the citizens of
Moscow. The young people were
more than pleased with their stay at
the university
The following joint resolution was
adopted at a meeting of the junior
extension executive committee of the
seven counties:
In behalf of the club members of
the counties of Latah, Nez Perce,
Clearwater, Benewah, Idaho, Kootenia,
and Lewis, the executive committee
of the first annual junior extension
short course wish to take this op-
portunity to express their apprecia-
ton to the people of the university
and extension division, and citizens of
Moscow, who were so generous in
extending to us the opportunity to
attend the first annual junior extern
sion short course. We are greatly
indebted to your university faculty
and extension department for the use
of the buildings and equipment. We
hope this splendid opportunity will be
given not only to use but to many
other farm boys and girls throughout
the entire state of Idaho, the follow
ing year and each succeeding year
may this be increased. We, the club
members of the first annual junior
extension club short course, will do
our utmost to make each successive
year a greater success than the pre-
ceding one"

BOARD WOULD PROTECT
PAR0LED C0NViCTS

A resolution advocating the with
holding from publication of names of
prisoners paroled from the peniten-
tiary was passed Saturday at an ad-
journed meeting of the state parole
board held at the penitentiary. The
resolution also excludes from publi-
cation Of the names of prisoners who
apply for parole.
The action of the board was taken,
it was announced, following the meet
ing, to aid the prisoners who are
given an opportunity to " make good"
&c If the names of those paroled are
broadcasted," said F. A. Jeter, secre-
tary of state and member of the
board, it will be very hard for them
to find employment and they will be-
come discouraged"
On the strength Of the resolution,
the names of several prisoners who
were paroled Saturday, were with
held. None of the paroles are effec-
tive for at least 80 days and some
of them do not allow the prisoners
their liberty until 80 days have passed.
Pleas Unlawful
The board calls the attention of the
people of Idaho to the fact that to
enter a plea in behalf of prisoner
at the penitentiary who is applying
for a parole, is a violation of state
law. Hereafter, it was announced, in
tercessions in behalf of prisoners
seeking parole will not be considered.
Protests against the parole of
prisoner, however, may be filed with
the board.
Following the meeting Governor
C. c. Moore and A. H. Conner, attor-
ney general and the other two mem
Nv Intn IN
snected the cells out of which five
prisoners escaped Wednesday night by
saving through the bars.
Three small hack saws, which it is
supposed were used to saw through
the bars were found. The saws were
about two inches long and tied to
wooden handles. Other tools which
might have been used to remove the
iron distractions, were also found.

S4S BIRTHS, 296
DEATHS in MAY

Eight hundred and forty-eight babies
were born and 296 persons died dur
ing the period from May 10 to June
10, according to the monthly report
Of the state bureau of vital statistics
issued Saturday.
Girl babies numbered 445 while boy
babies dropped under this number
with 402. 1t is unusual, it was an
nounced at the bureau for the girls to
exceed the boys.
The death rate reports show 25
babies were stillborn, while birth re-
cords account for only 18 of these.
This is due to carelessness Of doctors
in failing to report all births to the
state bureau. They are accounted for
in the death records because all un-
dertakers are required to obtain a
burial permit and in this way the re-
port of stillborn baby finds its way
to the state office and is recorded.
Seven of the babies reported were
illegitimate. There were 828 single
babies and 10 pairs of twins. The
number of pairs Of twins is unusually
high, it was said at the bureau. Per-
sons who were born in the United
States are the parents of 761 of the
babies while 81 have parents who were
born in foreign lands.
Of the persons who died lit were
males and 119 females. The records
show that 295 were white. Almost
half, 1874, of the deaths reported were
single persons. This is accounted for
by the large number Of babies that
die before reaching the age of one
year. The report shows that Sc babies
died before reaching the age of one
month and II others did not live to
be one year Of age.
Eighty-six Of the persons who died
were native sons and daughters of the
state.

TAX REMITTANCES PILED
HIGH AT TREASURER'S OFFICE

The county treasurer's office is still
busy taking care of the remittances
which came in Saturday by mail from
all parts of Latah county, in payment
of the last half of the 1922 real taxes.
Mrs. Audrey Herington, county trea-
surer stated that, while it is imposs-
ible to tell whether the proportion of
delinquency will be greater than
usual, she is inclined to think that
it will not, as the receipts for the
week or more prior to the taxes be-
coming delinquent, were exceptionally
heavy Farmers were at the court
house Friday and Saturday from all
parts of the county paying their <axes,
and kept the office force at the trea-
surer's office busy the entire day,
necessitating leaving the mail until
fhe first of this week.

head first beneath the water.

orator, Verne Whitford, were left
struggling in the water, but man
aged to swim to the lifeboat, which

RAIN DOES DAMAGE
IN JULIAETTA DISTRICT

w. f. Albright who operates an
orchard and garden tract below Julia
eta, on the Potlatch, was in Moscow
Tuesday visiting his brother, G. F.
Albright, and states that the district
along the Potlatch, between Julia
eta and Lewiston, was drenched
with one of the heaviest rains in its
history Sunday night. Acres of
plowed ground on the steep hillsldes
slid down into the bottoms, and con-
siderable damage was done to the
crops.
Mr.. Albright says that there has
been a much greater rainfall in the
Juliaetta district the past month than
there has been here, and that alfalfa,
especially, has been damaged. Much
alfalfa has been cut and will rot on
the ground unless clear weather
comes on.
