CONTRACTOR READY
TO START BUILDING
Preliminary Work on Site of New
Jewett Car Plant Is
Completed

DETROIT, Mich, June 8.-Pre-
liminary work has been completed
and the site turned over t. the
general contractors for new
Jewett plant which will bring pro-
duction of this automobile up to
over 500 daily. The plans for-the
new plant, which will be one of the
most modern in the city will be
announced soon, according to NJ.
H. Jewett, president of the Paige
Detroit Motor Car company, build
ers of the Jewett. It's location gives
ideal facilities for shipping and re-
ceipt of freight, says the Paige
president.
Pressed for information con-
corning the new plant, Mr.. Jewett
said that it would have two of the
longest final assembly lines known
to the automobile industry. He be-
lieves that they are the loagest
used in the production of any au-
tomobile selling at $1,000 or more.
THE market for Jewett cars APP
pears to grow daily" said Mr..
Jewett. "With nearly 10000 cars
on the road, every section of the
country now has an opportunity
to view the extraordinary perform
ling of the Jewett.
EThese Jewetts have been
placed in the hands of their own
ers in slightly over one years
time, as production on this model
was not on a quantity basis until
late in March, 1922. The Jewett
was first announced in January,
1922. Distribution has now been
secured in every section of the
country. We need not be told this
by our distribution department
either. The sales report show it.
Each Jewett sale has brought or
ders for many more from that ter
ritory.
"The present demand for
Jewetts, we feel, justifies our new
! factory and it's consequent doub-
ling Of production

Big Liquor Haul.

Sheriff William kirkpatrick and
Deputy Ralph Decker made a rich
haul (at Sandpoint) April when
they stopped the Spokane-bound
Spokane International freight train
which runs daily between Cranbrook
and Spokane. They took off between
so and 70 cases of '.bottled In bond"
liquor which had retail market
value of about $1,000 at the going rate
of SO per quart in Standpoint.
The liquor was cleverly concealed
but the bootleggers' "riders" who
usually "hobo" the trains carrying
their liquor had dropped from sight
and so no arrests were made.-Pend

Honeymoon island" the nickname

called from a prevailing superstition
that honeymoon couples who pass the

ideal place for honeymoon, for 1t has
been called the most beautiful spot

history of those early days is taie

made of concrete, four feet thick, were

can be seen the prayers carved by con-

TO LOAN ON CROPS
Only Staple Products For the
Present.

:. According to Washington,e D.. G.. /,
ews'dispatch last Saturday. indlca-
tions were given by the federal farm
loan board Friday night that an
interest rate Of 81 per cent would be
charged on loans made by the new
intermediate credit banks, under the
agricultural credits act.
While the interest rate to be
charged will be fixed by the credit
banks, subject to approval of the farm
loan board, farmers will be able, If
the indicated interest rate is accept
ed, to borrow money at per cent or
less The law specifies that the
rediscounting agency shall not charge
in excess Of II per cent for handling
the obligations.
The opinion was general that rate
of 81 per cent. with the rediscount
charge added, would mean
material reduction to the average
farmer in interest.
The board has decided "for the
present" to limit loans under the
credits act to livestock, grain, wool,
cotton, tobacco and peanuts as
"staple agricultural products" within
the meaning of the law. Loans on
dairy products. eggs, fruits aud vege-
tables are left to future determlna :
tion, but the exclusion Of those
commodities, it appeared, is not
intended to be permanent.
The board, it was indicated, desired
to give further study to rules govern
ing the handling Of perishable
products. A limitation OF loans to
nine months maturity also is
prescribed in the regulations as the
maximum, while the minimum life
of security to be taken by the credit
banks was fixed at not less than "six
months from the date of the transac-
tiUn."

DID NOT CUT BUDGET
Legislature Slightly Exceeded
MooTe'S Estimate.

Boise, April 9. - Statements
which have been given circulation,
particularly in North Idaho, to the
effect that the last session of the
legislature brushed aside Governor
Moore's recommendations for q
twenty FIVE per cent reduction in
appropriations over two years ago,
and made still further cut are not
borne out by actual figures. Gov
ernor Moore's budget recommend
ed appropriations that were $794,-
500 less than the 1927 appropria-
tions. Figures compiled by the
bureau of budget and taxation
show that the final appropriations
made this year were $54o,499 less
! than in 1921. In other words the
appropriations totalled $a54,3Io
more than the governor recon-
nended. This quarter of million
dollars is made up largely of
additions that were made to the
budget after the legislature had
carefully considered number OF
proposals that called for state
funds, although $2o,a8e of it repre-
sents increases over the items in
the budget. Had all ofthe requests
for appropriations been met by the
Legislature the final appropriation
would have been much larger, but
in the compromises that were
worked out the various proposals
were pared down.
Total appropriations this year
were So, ,625, 32I. Appropriations
in 1921 were s5,I65, $40.
In addition to this saving there
must be taken into consideration
the fact that the nine-tenths mill
levy for highways was not re-
enacted this year. However a
three. cighths mill levy was passed
for new buildings at state schools.
The difference between the amount
raised by those two levies is a
saving OF S3oI, 262, based on the
assessed valuation OF last year.
This makes total saving OF $84I,-
76I over 1921. Had there been no
changes from the governors rec
commended saving of $7o3,8oo the
total saving would have exceeded
the million dollars for which he
was striving.

the people are taxed shows the

She stared hard at a leaf that

tropical sunshine that had arranged
to piece the interviewer screen of

than any she had yet encountered,
seemed to be tugging at her. A
drowsy feeling crept over her and
she awoke, as If from a dream, to find
herself looking down into orbs that
glowed like wells of fire. The f1abby
fingers of the bandit had closed round
the bride and the Bajau pony was
browsing on the soft heritage that
fringed the forest track

neo," he was saying. 81 should like
