TRAVEL RULING
EFFECTIVE SOON


On and after May 10 no state Off
cial may incur expense while travel
ing for the state greater than $5
day, stage and railroad fare excluded,
and e. G. Gallet, state auditor, Satur
day sent out notices to all state en-
ployes and officials of the new law
which was passed by the 1928 legis-
lature
The new law also makes it unlaw-
full for state official or employe to
travel outside the state without the
permission of the governor. Sample
blanks for making application for this
permission were also sent out by the
auditor
Under the new statute no state Off
cial may incur expense for automobile
hire without the written permission
of the governor and when the per-
mission is granted a specific journey
is stated.
Notices of the effectiveness of the
new law were sent to all state Off
GERS, state institutions, district Judges
and court reporters.
There are special forms on which
a blanket permission may be granted
to certain state official or employe
to travel outside the state or to incur
expense for automobile hire other
than stage. These forms show the
date on which such permission is
effective and it remains in effect un-
til revoked by the governor
State officials or employees making
trip from one point in the state
to another which necessitates going
out of the state while taking the US
ual Travelled route, are not required
to obtain permission to travel out of
the state.
One particulaG phase of the law
which the state auditor believes will
give him some trouble is that the
statute does not permit of cumulative
expense averaging not more than $5
day. If an employe is on state ex-
pense for three days and puts in a
claim for SIS, it will be allowed only
If each days expense is not greater
than $5. In other words, should the
spend So one day, 81 the next
and $5 the next he would be reim-
bursed for only S13, the remaining
81 being out OF his own pocket.
The law is not effective until Nav
10 so that state officials who are ira
Yelling before and after that date must
divide their claims for this months
expense account into two parts.

WILL OF LEWISTON MAN
SUSTAINED BY STEELE

Judge Edgar G. Steele, Of the sec
ond judicial district, has reversed the
decision of the probate judge of Nez
Perce county in the Jerry Seeley will
case, and by decision just handed
down has oroeAed that the will be
admitted to probate
In this case Elmer Seeley, a SON to
the decedent, claimed that the will
of his father was executed while un-
due Influence was being brought to
bear on him by Dora Seeley, his sec
ond wife, and through the aid of her
son by her first marriage, Forrest
Grayson. Seeley, whose death .oc-
CURED last year, was we'll known
character in this section of the coun-
try. For many years he conducted
the Central ferry, says the Lewiston
Tribune.
Judge Steele in his decision says.
In the case, of Seeley VS.. Seeley,
heard in Nez Perce county, where it
is claimed that will executed by the
testator, Seeley, was secured under
undue influence, the court has most
carefully examined the evidence and
the briefs in this case and feels that
where will was executed outside
the presence of the beneficiaries, and
in the presence of disinterested wit
nesses, the court should be very care
full about setting the will aside
In order to set aside a will, on
account of undue influence, it is not
enough to show that the beneficfaries
had the motive, and the opportunity
to use and exercise such influence,
but there. must be affirmative evil
dence showing that they actually used
such influence. There is nothing OF
that kind shown in this case This
will was made year before the death
Of the decedent, Jerry Seeley; he
had plenty of opportunity to change
it, and the court feels that the whole
of the transaction simply shows de-
upon the part of the
testator to make sure OF the future
provisions for his wife The court
therefore reyerses the decision of the
probate court, and orders that said
will be admitted to probate.

PAGEANT TO TELL
DEATH OF GRIMES
STUDENTS TO DEPICT DEATH OF
GEORGE GRIMES IN HISTORICAL
EVENT JUNE 8

Entrance of Moses Splawn and
George Grimes into the Boise basin
in 1862, their discovery OF gold there,
and the attack by Indians in which
Grimes was killed, will be depicted
in the pageant of Idaho history which
university students will present June
8, as part of the commencement exer-
cises.
Moses Splawn was one of the
miners who followed the call of gold
from one camp to another, and while
he was mining at Elk City in 1861
there came to the camp a Bannock
Indian who watched them working at
the sluices> and gathering the gold
after days work. One night by
the camp fire the Indian told Splawn
of a basin in the mountains far to
the south, where, he said, as a boy
he had picked up chunks OF yellow
metal such as the men took out OF
the sluices.
Search For Lost Mine
The following spring Splawn
gathered together about seven men
and on the way met Captain Turner
with SO men going to Catherine Creek
above the Owyhees in search of the
Blue Bucket diggings, a lost mine.
After this search, which resulted in
finding what was later known as the
Silver City diggin's, they divided once
more and Splawn turned back along
the Owyhee. Here they met George
Grimes and seven men who turned
around and went back with them.
After much wandering and a great
deal of discussion they finally de-
cided to go into the Boise basin.
Grimes did not want to go, saying
he was afraid of the Indians. He
had a premonition that he would
never come out of the Boise basin
alive. 1t was in that basin that a
man named FOCUS put his shovel in
to the dirt and gravel, and from /
that shovelful worked out about fif-
teen cents worth of gold.
Grimes Last Request
Three days later, they were sud-
denly attacked by the Indians. |
Splawn and Grimes took their guns
and went to the top of the hill. Just
as they got there, 20 guns were fired /
in their faces. Grimes fell just as |
they reached the top. His last and /
only words were.
"Mose don't let them scalp me-"
He was buried in prospect hole
and his grave, with no mark to tell
what it is, remains in a beautiful
little place among the pines called
Grimes Pass"
1t was in August, 1862, that the
Boise basin was first discovered.
Numerous towns soon sprang up, and
heir phenomenal growth made it i'm (
that the seat of government
hould be closer than Olympia, Wash,
md so consent was given by congress
or establishing the temporary gov
,rnment of the territory Of Idaho.

B. ]. JONES IS STRONG
FOR MILK CONDENSARY

B. j. Jones, extensive land owner
and pioneer resident of Palouse pre-
cinct, in the northern part OF the
county, was in Moscow Tuesday on
business. Mr. Jones is an ardent
booster for the establishment of a
milk condensary at Palouse, which
would be fed largely from the district
along the Palouse river, in Latah
county He states that the farmers
are showing deep interest in the pro-
ject, believing that it would mean
added income, and would also enrich
the land, much of which is showing
the effects of continual cropping.
Development is progressing farther
east in the county, in the timber dis
trict, where farmers are locating on
the cut-over lands, the acreage of
which is rapidly increasing, and Mr.
Jones states that thousands of COWS
could be fed on these lands and that
the market for milk afforded by a
condensary would result in the build
ing of hundreds of comfortable homes,
the building of more schools and a
substantial increase, within few
years, of the taxable property in the
county.
A canvass is being made of the dis
trict to ascertain the number OF COWS
which would be available and prac-
tically every farmer is signifying a
Willingness to stock his farm with
some COWS. large eastern mis-
concern has expressed an
interest in the project and demands
that the milk from 1000 COWS must be
guaranteed.

KENDRICk FARMER
COMMITS SUICIDE
DESPONDENCY OVER ILL HEALTH
BELIEVED CAUSE-TWO SHOTS
CAUSE INVESTIGATION

Ira D. Bradshaw, pioneer resident
of the Kendrick district, committed
suicide this afternoon at his farm
five miles northeast of Kendrick, ac-
cording to word received late this
afternoon by the sheriff's office. He
had been sick for some time and it
is believed by the authorities from
the reports received that he was
suffering from dependency over his
i'll health.
Mr.. Bradshaw has been sick for
some time with fever, similar to
walking typhoid. He told his wife
that he was going out to look at his
hogs and he took his high power rifle
with him.
Two Shots Heard
Mrs. Bradshaw neard two shots and
summoned the neighbors, who found
Mr.. Bradshaw with the top of his head
blown off, powder marks on his face,
and the gun by his side. A physician
called from Kendrick said that the
case was one of suicide although Off
GERS, from the reports, were unable
to explain the two shots distinctly
heard by Mrs. Bradshaw
DR. F. NJ Leitch, Latah county
coroner, and Grant Robbins, deputy
sheriff, left this afternoon to investi-
gate. All indications, however, point
to suicide, according to the report
received here.

Cash BASIS OLUTION
OF FARMERS PROBLEMS

Boise" The solution for the prob
lens of the Idaho farmers is to get
upon cash basis,' says Mark A.
Means, state commissioner of agricul-
ture. realize that such a sugges-
| tion is easier said than done and it
may seem like strange theory at
this time when so many OF the far
mers are loaded down with heavy in
debtedness and struggling to get back
upon their feet financially. But it
can be attained if the farmers will
raise variety of crops so that they
will always have something to mar
ket
/ The great trouble in the past has
been that we have been too much of
one crop state. In the hope of
making a big return we have rushed
heavily into one crop or another and
have neglected to put out an anchor
by dlversifying our crops SO that we
can always have something to SELL
| feel that another mistake has been
made in trying to hold our crops too
long in hope of higher market. My
theory in operating my farms has
always been to sell my stuff when it
was ready and get the money 1t is
too risky to speculate on hopes for
higher markets. By getting my
money | was able to pay cash for my
purchases and was not eaten up by
interest charges and could get what
ever advantage there was in the cash
price.
Idaho is coming back strong. We
have the soil and the resources that
will bring great production but we
will have to get down to smaller acre
age, diversified crops and farm the
year around We ought to have a
silo for every automobile in the state
and a cream station for every gaso-
line station. When we can always
have little something on the farm
to sell and will sell it when it is
ready for market we will have the
money to get on a cash basis and
prosperity will be ours.
There is only one time when it
might be better to hold for time
than to sell when the crop is ready
and that is when the price offered is
very near the cost of production. IF
there is a profit to be had it is better
to take it than to hold for possibly
higher profit and be eaten up by
shrinkage and interest.
do not believe in preaching or
trying to farm by theory but these are
of success Own what
you have instead of letting some other
fellow have the big interest In it.
When we get on cash basis we can
do that"
