Caldwell High Team
Defeats Boise Braves
Baseball T e a m Takes
Boise Into Camp
Wednesday

Caldwell high schools baseball team
won the first regularly scheduled
league game Wednesday afternoon at
Boise when Coach Keane's Braves
were roundly trounced to the tune OF
7-5. As a result OF the contest, Coach
Berry's cohorts have visions of an
other district pennant to round out
the season.
Bardsley occupied the box for Cald-
well and performed capably for six OF
the seven innings that the matinee
lasted He held Boise swat-smiths TO
four scattered bingles and was in
danger of being scored upon but once.
With what seemed to be safe lead.
Earwood took up the burden in the
seventh inning. He was wild, walked
two men and Boise batters collected
three hits off his delivery and piled up
three scores. Boise might have been
running the paths yet but for bone
head on a bench signal that nipped
the rally in the bud.
Lawson. Lowell and Jensen. club
artists with last years team, took
kindly to the offering of the Braves
twirlers and starred with the stick.

That Any Offer Will

WASHINGTON - The United
States shipping board has made an Of
ficial denial OF the report that its ships
will be a, sale at any price. The Board
saws that suggestions that a sale-at-
any price policy might be adopted re-
suited from a natural heSiiancy on the
part OF operators to venture at this
time upon operations designed to
build up new lines or to take over
some OF those now maintained by the
Board.
The usual policy OF apologizing
for its method OF procedure is being
maintained at the Shipping Board.
but nevertheless the bait is being held
out to prospective buyers OF ships

OUTLOOK DARK
FOR DRAINAGE
Boards Meet and Ad-
journ; No Progress
Is Made

Drainage on the Boise project is
not one whit nearer as a result of the
meeting of the two boards of directors
of the Payette- Boise Water Users as
sociation than it was prior to the
Tuesday conclave Neither board
showed an inclination to step down
and out, there was no apparent effort
to amalgamate the two conflicting
groups, and the possibility of market
ing bonds based upon delinquent
drainage assessments seems to be at
a standstill.
Judging from the results of the
meetings Tuesday, there is little to
hope for from this possibility OF OBJ
tanning drainage. 1t will be remem-
bered that contracts permitting this
plan of drainage finance have been ap-
proved by the secretary of the inter
ior taking the signatures of both
boards as making the agreement fully
legal.
But bond buyers object TO the dual
headed organization. They are willing
to purchase the securities provided the
bonds are approved and legally signed
by only one board But the other
board. either one, or part of both.
must go out of existence first.
T. w. Tarr heads a committee from
the board growing from the now de-
funct Boise Project Improvement club
that was authorized to fully investigate
phases of the proposed bond sale. An
other meeting OF this so-called in
surgcnt" board will be held the latter
part of the month to hear this report.
1t is not considered likely. how
ever, that tangible results will follow
from the course now being pursued so
far as actual drainage at high speed
is concerned.

CANYON COUNTY
FUTURE DEPENDS
ON DAIRY COWS
Farm Bureau Launches
Campaign to Put More
and Better Stock on
Farms.

Forty acres of Canyon county farm
land, half dozen good dairy cows,
800 chickens. a few hogs and a few
ewes will give farmer a certain an
nual net income of at least $500 and it
should reach $1,000"
That is the basis of the program of
the Canyon county farm bureau under
the direction of A. o. O'Reilly, new
county agent. Canyon county. ac-
cording to a recent survey, conducted
by the farm bureau. today has 1900
dairy cows.
"And the surface hasn'. been even
scratched" is Mr. O'Reilly's version
of the future. 'You can go into the
country and you have TO hunt to find
cows. There should be two where
only one is pastured today and we can
get them il we go after them right"
Asked what sort OF a program to
add to the dairy COW census of Canyon
county. Mr.. O'Reilly explained that in
his opinion the problem was one of
getting a few good cows for every
farmer. stocking every farm with half
dozen cows.
Not one man in 200 can go into
the exclusive dairy business and make
a success at it," Mr. O'Reily pointed
out 'If dairying is to become the
background of farm activity, il won't
be because a score or more of men
have fine big producing herds but be-
cause every farmer has a few good
cows. Get away, too, from the pure
bred idea What we need is high pro-
ducing grade stock and good bulls.
"No, | wouldn't go to Wisconsin
for this stuff" he answered to a ques-
ton. Farmers back there sell only
their culs. and we buy them none
the wiser. Young heifers from Oregon
and Washington herds are the best
buys"
There are other features of the dairy
business that are developing rapidly
here, Mr.. O'Reilly pointed out. In
the past three weeks, no less than FIVE
county agents from Iowa have come
to the Boise valley to buy dairy stock.
They come to Idaho in preference to
going to the dairy districts of Wis
consin and Minnesota, Mr.. O'Reilly
explained, because they can get bet
ter class of stuff for their uses at less
cost than they must pay in the east.
Right now the farm bureau is en-
gagged in wiping out the "boarder'
COW from the herds of Canyon county
farmers. Mr. O'Reilly hit pessimis-
tic note when he remarked that prob
ably so per cent of the cows now being
MIXED in Canyon county are eating
up the profits from the other half.
Some of them don't give any more
milk than a goat he remarked.

LEVY Of S1.00
IS CERTAIN IF
BONDS Do FAIL
Henry Beck Declares no
Alternative at Com
mercial Club Meeting
Tuesday Evening.

Don't let the people 6d them
selves. That $l.0o levy for war
rant redemption is going on if
these bonds don't carry. We can't
nav our taxes ourselves but the
law says to put on that S1.00 levy
and we are going to do it. 1t is
true that this has never been done
before but we haven't been COM
missioners, either.
Thus did Henry Beck, chairman of
the board of county commissioners.
Tuesday evening set at rest any idea
that if the proposed S3s0,0O0 bond is
sue for redemption of outstanding
county warrants did not pass there
was any possibility of spreading war
rant redemption by tax levy over a
period of several years. These re-
marks came as climax to a long dis
cussion OF the subject led by Mr.. Beck
and County Clerk A. ]. Dunbar at the
regular meeting of the Caldwell Com
mercial Club.
Cites Statute
Article 32l7 of the compiled Idaho
statutes, which Mr.. Beck cited for
authority for the position of the board,
directs that commissioners must make
a levy of SlO per $4,000 assessed
valuation where that levy is necessary
to retire warrant indebtedness. That
there is no penalty clause attached is
no argument against complying with
this statute, Mr. Dunbar declared.
County commissioners he pointed out,
swore wher they took the oath of Of
fee to uphold the constitution of the
State of Idaho and its laws. Under
that oath there is no alternative.
That the proposal to bond the coun-
,y for s350,000 does not exceed the
need for warrant redemption was
cited by Mr. Dunbar. Total outstand-
ing warrant obligations, including ac-
crued interest, total $3.50, ,528.1l, ac-
cording to a check made April ! at
Mr.. Dunbar's direction.
This total warrant indebtedness, in
cluding accrued interest, is divided as
follows:
Current expense warrants

BULL ELK ELECTROCUTED
SOME TIME LAST WEEK


Last Friday E. E Wheeler, chair

titled that one of the male elk of the
local herd had been found dead on the
south side of Canon creek, about op-

Investigation disclosed that the an
imal had been electrocuted by coming
in contact with an electrical trans
mission wire carrying 1900 volts oil
electrical currant hanging SO low that
the elk came in contact with it in
passing.
While all regret the loss of this an
imal it is fortunate the loss of life
was not that Of human being, in

We understand an effort will be
