A WORTHY ORGANIZATION.

The OrOville boy scout troops are
starting campaign to raise the $500
needed for the completion of their
building which is being constructed
near the baseball park. This is a
worthy undertaking and they should
and will meet with success.
The local scout troops are part of
a national organization brought about
for the purpose OF increasing the
ability of boys to do WORTH while
things for themselves and others. 1t
Is laudable undertaking and many
prominent men are devOting good
portion of their time, without any ma
terial reward to foster this movement.
The boy scouts are taught to be cool
headed in danger and to be resource
full and efficient. They are instructed
IN first aid, life saving, signaling,
nature study, seamanship, campcraft,
woodcraft, chivalry and patriotism.
The character Of the organization
Is indicated by the scout oath which
Is as follows: "On my honor l will

SERVICE IS THE THING

II we look back fifteen or twenty
years, we recall that the policy in
most merchandising and Industrial
lines was one in which the sale was
the principal object, without especial
regard to the satisfaction of the pur-
chaser thereafter. This was also
true, in a degree, with the public
utility companies. In the early days
the companies oftentimes brought
the service to the consumers house,
and concerned themselves no more.
They did not feel any further respon-
sibflity or give much further thought

Ole SWANSON FINED
FOR M|STREATING STOCK

Ole Swanson, farmer living six
miles northeast of Moscow, at the
foot of the Moscow mountain, was ar
rested Wednesday by Deputy Sheriff
Grant Robbins and brought to Mos
COW, where he was fined $75 by Pro-
bate Judge Adrian Nelson Neigh
bors living near Mr.. Swanson have
been repeatedly complaining against
the cruel and inhuman treatment that
Swanson has been inflicting upon his
livestock Twice in the past two
years he has been before Judge Nelson
on a similar charge, and has been
dismissed with a small fine and a
promise to take better care of his
stock
Wednesday, when Mr.. Robbins and
Latham Moore, from the prosecutor
office, arrived at Swanson's home,
they found COW tied in the barn
yard Upon inspection they dis
covered that the baling wire. with
which the COW was tied, had been
drawn so tightly across the cows
forehead that a deep cash had been
made and the flesh had festered and
grown over the wire in such manner
that it had to be cut in order to
remove the wire. They also found
that all of Swanson's stock was
underfed and was kept in filthy
barns, without any care whatever.
Swanson was very indignant when
Mr.. Robbins started to demonstrate
him on the condition of his stock,
but when he was taken into custody
and was forced to come to town he
changed his attitude and pleaded for
leniency. Upon paying his fine he
went away from the court house ex-
claiming, "Oh such day"

PIONEERS TO MEET AT
lewiston September q

LeWiston-The annual reunion OF
the North Idaho Pioneer association
will be held at Lewiston, September
27, and citizens of Lewiston are max
ing elaborate preparations to make
the affair a success. This annual re-
union of Idaho pioneers is unique in
that it is more truly typical of old
times than any other such gathering.
Many other places give shows and
pageants and other forms of enter
tainment, but at this reunion the old
pioneers themselves meet together,
have their banquets, tell stories,
dance the old time dances and sing
old songs. At the reunion last year,
over four hundred old folks, together
with hundreds of the later genera
tions, gathered together for two days
at what was pronounced to be the
most memorable event in the history
of Lewiston.
The reunion is open to every one
in the Inland Empire interested in
pioneer affairs, but special invita-
ton is extended to pioneers of North
Idaho and the Inland Empire to at
tend. All real old pioneers, that is
those who came to Idaho as adults
prior to the Indian war of 1877, will
be entertained free of charge by the
city of Lewiston. Citizens of every
community are urged to send their
old pioneers to the reunion, as it
means so much to these old people
who will soon be passing on.
The meeting will be held at the
splendid new Lewis-Clark hotel. Re-
gistration will be commenced at 1000
O'Clock a. M; business session will
be held at 200 o'clock; banquet at
500 o'clock, and old time dance at
900 o'clock. Cars will be in atten-
dance at all times to care for the
wants of visitors.
Any person having pioneer relics
are also urged to send them to
Charles Kress for the pioneer ex-
hibit, which will be held during the
reunion. The relics will be carefully
preserved and returned after the re-
union.

Argentina Finds Oil

Buenos Aires-(A. P)-The dis
covery of what are apparently rich
deposits of petroleum in the province
of Jujuy, Argentina, has elated indus
trial interests. Borings made under
the direction of the administration of
state railways resulted in striking oil
at a depth of $50 meters The well
did not prove to be a gusher as at
first reported, but a column of oil
ascended the tube for distance of
$50 meters, from which two tons were
pumped in three hours. Work was
then suspended to await the arrival
of storage tanks. The engineers are
confident that borings 80 meters
deeper will tap an extensive petroleum
strata. The oil is said to be of high
quality.

VAST SCOPE OF
PROHIBITION WORK
u. S. COURTS IMPOSE S12,467, $50
IN FINES SINCE 1920-JAIL
SENTENCES DEFERRED

Washington-(A. P)-Conviction of
judges, attorneys, federal and state
officials and millionaires among the
host found guilty of violating the pro-
hibition laws was detailed in a re-
port submitted to President Coolidge
by Attorney General Daugherty.
A synopsis of the report, made
public with the assent of the presi-
dent, reviewed the federal judiciarys
work in administering the prohibi-
ton law in the first Al months of its
operation 1t showed that since the
statue went into effect January 16,
1920, more than 10000 cases had been
terminated in United States courts,
with 72,4S9 convictions and fines ag-
gregating 12,467,660
Prosecutions Increase Yearly
Prohibition prosecutions have in
creased yearly, the report showed,
while Jail sentences for the last 23
months have totaled more than 5000
years.
Attorney General Daugherty's re-
port also disclosed that more than
year ago he sent a special series of
instructions to district attorneys on
prohibition enforcement, demanding
more relentless campaign against
bootleggers and other prohibition
violators, especially cliques,"
rings and so-called LEADERS in
all large cities.
In 80 per. cent of federal court
cases, the report said, the defend
ants were found guilty. Although the
records for the last fiscal year are
not complete, the report estimated
that there had been at least 10000
more convictions than in the preced-
ing year and Is, 900 more than for two
years ago.
Paddock Provision Effective
Mr.. Daugherty reported that the
i" paddock provision of the prohibi-
tion law had been one of its most eff
fective weapons, enabling closing of
many buildings where liquor were
+" nuisances." Increase Of Jail SEN
tences also has been deterring in
fluence, Daugherty told the presi-
dent.
