GET PACKING PLANT
Talk Of New Enterprise For
RathdTum.

A number of Rathdrum citizens
are becoming interested in discus
sion of the bright possibilities oi
establishing an apple packing
plant at some point on the Mp. or
Milwaukee right of way in town.
1t is claimed that apple growers
who have had their apples packed
here and shipped from this point
the last two seasons have found
that Rathdrum has advantages
over neighboring communities that
are worth consideration. 1t is on
the mainline of the Northern
Pacific, and cars can be obtained
much more promptly than at other
points. By the use of motor trucks
considerable area of orchards
can be given excellent service.
The opinion prevails that if
suitable site is provided the
growers can be interested in organ
izing stock company and erecting
the plant.

NEW BANKING LAW
Other Proposed Measures In
Idaho Legislature,

Boise, Idaho. Several banking
bills were introduced in the Seven
teenth Legislature last Saturday.
One of these acts requires banks
to invest all trust funds and savings
deposits in such securities as are
legal for investment by savings
banks. The administration
measure includes in this list Of
securities joint stock land banks,
warrants of cities, towns and
counties outside the state, and
bonds of districts organized under
the Idaho laws and approved by
commission.
Another feature Of this bill
requires the setting aside OF all
! savings deposits for the exclusive
use of paying depositors and shall
not be used to pay any other obi
cation or liability until after tie
payment of all depositors in the
savings department. Banks shall
keep complete list of the assets
set aside for the protection of tie
savings deposits.
Under the terms of the proposed
law, officers and clerks will be held
responsible for all checks cashed
for persons who have no deposits
unless the board of directors auth
orizes such action. Officers who
knowingly and persistently over
draw their personal accounts and
the officer who permits the over
drafts shall be deemed guilty OF
misappropriation and shall be
subject to fine of $1,000 or i'm
prisonment in the county Jail for
one year or both. Banks must
carry all liabilities on their books
and officers responsible for any
violation of this provision will be
deemed guilty of a felony.
A senate bill by Pollard provides
for the furnishing of sufficient cars
by railroad companies for carlot
shipments and the creation OF a
reciprocal demurrage law which
would compel railway companies
to pay per diem penalty for each
day they forced shipper to wait
for carriers.
A bill requiring tax collectors to
notify mortgage holders when
piece of property is delinquent,
was killed on motion of Boughton
OF Kootenai who pointed out that
the act would add an expense to
the counties.
Visions of strong fight loomed
when bill made its appearance in
the house requiring all railroads to
fence their entire right of way. 1t
is expected the measure will be
fought by the Oregon Short Line
because of the heavy expense esti<
mated to run into hundreds Of
thousands of dollars.
The Progressive bill providing
for tax exemption on property I'M
provements up to $500 was lndefl-
nitely postponed by the senate,
after the Judiciary committee had
reported it out with the recon-
mendation that''it be not printed"
The measure was introduced oy
Huffman of Clearwater and IS
Identical with a bill introduced IN
the house of representatives by
Sonner OF Canyon county.
A measure aimed to change the
present system of election registra-
ton in Idaho was introduced by
Senators Huffaker and Johnson,
and provides that when an elector
registers for the general election,
he would not again register while
living in the precinct.

Beginning this summer, you
should be able to walk into

light at price scarcely higher
than matches.
T. That is the prediction of
James I. Howard, executive
chairman of the National In
stitute of Inventors.
He said today that bottled
light could be used to illuminate
the gloom of midnight at home
or out of doors.
"a camper will be able to
hang a bottle of light on
tree and forget all about Ian
terms" he said. There's no
need to strike a match, turn on
the, current, or fear that it will
burn out. Yet it gives brighter
illumination than artificial
light"
The inventor of bottled light
was said by Howard to have
discovered q substance similar
to radium, but much less ex-
pensive. This substance alb
serbs the light, can then be
bottled, and then gives off that
light indefinitely.
