E[KS SERVICES
BRING OUT BIC
CROWD SUNDAY
Impressive Ceremony
Marks Annual Obser-
vance of Memorial
Day at American

One OF the most impressive cerc
monial services ever opened 10 tn
public in Canyon county was tn
given under auspices OF the Caldwe
Elks lodgc in the form OF memori-
day program at the American thcatr,
Sunday afternoon. This, the seconi
such service held by the Caldwell
lodge, brought out twice as many per
sons as the program. which is open e
the public. attracted last year.
Two members of the Caldwell lodgs
w. H. Doolittle OF Homedale. and
Charles Baker. were honored at this
meeting, having been called by death
in the year that r.as elapsed since last
years meeting.
Th feature OF the days program
was an address by A. II. Conner
state attorney general. He spoke, a.
IN Elk, OF the significance OF the order
and of the memorial day that ha.
been established and universally OBJ.
served by the lodge.
While the Elks lodge was organized
for social purposes largely. the be
nevolent features have come into th'
ascendency until today the Elks lodge
is the foremost example of organiza
tions conducting such work in the
fraternal field. Mr.. Connor pointed
out. No man can be an Elk. he de
clared, without being better Ameri-
can citizen. Indeed. citizenship is one
of the requirements for membership
he pointed out. But the Elks lodge
knows no creed. except that its mem
bers must profess belief in God. No
man can be an Elk who does not be-
come a better Catholic, if that be his
religion. or a better Baptist or Me'ho
dist. the speaker declared.
Jess Brandt gave the culogy i
memory OF the two Elks who had beer
taken from the Caldwell lodge by
death during the past year. Musical
numbers included seleciio.s by Mrs
Paul Case. DIR. Carl Solamon and num-
bers by the College of Idaho orchestra
under the direction OF J. J. Smith. A.
|. Myers, exalted ruler OF the Local
lodge, presided.

TOURISTS COME
DESPITE COLD
Winter Can't Keep Auto
Parties At
Firesides

Despite cold nights pnd snappy
days. the automobile tourist season
is not yet pissed. according to William
Bischoff, careiaker OF the local park
Last week. an average of two cars
with a full complement OF passengers
stopped at the park each day.
Most OF these are tourists from Cal
fornia. 'homeward bound. according
to Mr.. Bischoff. They are headed east
many to the middle west but a few
of them are stopping in Idaho. II is
predicted that since the Blue noun
iains are to be kept open throughout
the winter. stragglers will continue
to come through this way from Cali
fornia all winter.
Business at the tourist park thi.
season has smashed all records. Ac-
cording to Mr. Bischof7s records. a
total OF ll57 cars have stopped there
this season. In addition. about 20C
are believed to have used the park
without registration. coming late in
the evening and departing early. while
no caretakers were there.
Next year. the park will probably
be put on a fee basis. Tarfic has
increased to the point where the tour
ist park requires a considerable por-
ton OF one persons time and the city
at present cannot finance such an at
tendant

TAX PROBLEMS
TAKE On MANY
VARIED PHASES
County Protesters Hear
Old Story Aired; Can
yon Officials take over
Meeting

From the initial intention of dis
cussing the ways and means OF cutting
into county expense, the mass meet
ing OF Canyon tax payers held here at
the American theatre turned into an
airing OF many things related to pub
lie expenditures, including state mat
tiers. While the original intention was
a protest at the Canyon county ex-
pense. the meeting became something
of a love feast so far as present county
officers are concerned and the oppor-
tunity was utilized to spread to those
present a detailed statement OF the
present levy.
Mrs. Matthew Golden, sponsor OF
the meeting. declared just as she did
at the water users gathering short
time ago. that something had to be
done about taxes. Conditions in this
country are becoming unbearable She
declared, pointing out that abuse OF
the taxing privilege in Russia led to
the downfall of that aristocracy and
that things here were steadily ap-
preaching that point. Even the dead
are taxed in Russia. she said.
Only about 200 persons attended
the meeting. An admission fee Of 10
cents was charged to pay for use OF
the theatre. c. A. Williams, county
probate Judge, acted as chairman OF
the meeting.
Old controversies were given an
airing. J. A. Dunbar. county clerk,
asserted that during the preceding
county administration the Wcstcott
Sales company had sold to the county
$4,000 worth of gasoline in orc
month. This statement was branded
by c. J. Westcott OF that firm as
absolutely inaccurate after the meet
ing
Henry Beck, chairman OF the board
of county commissioners. talked on
the county situation. Outstanding
warrants. issued by previous admin
istrations as deficiency paper. could be
repudiatcd by the county. he said, be-
cause il is illegal to issue warrants in
excess OF the county tax income. Such
a case had been tried once in northern
Idaho and the holder of some oi
those warrants had been unable ,o
collect from the county on them.
Charges OF wholesale graft were
made against expenditure OF public
funds on recent highway construction
in Canyon county. Particularly die
the state highway to Wilder como IL

PRESIDENT WANTS
 ID GO OVER TRAIL
DeSirouS of Making Overland Trip
 Through Alaskan WildS
By The Assoelated Press.

By The Associated Press
 Aboard U. S. s. Henderson With President Harding, July 11.--Carry- ing with him memories of most pleasant day spent in the Alaskan capital President Harding sailed from Juneau early today in further search of information relating to Alaskan problems. Decision was reached just before sailing to stop at skagway en route to Edward instead of mak- ing the visit to the town on the re- turn trip to the continental United States.
 The rain which fell throughout yes- terday was continuing when the Hem derson sailed. and with the fog, made the time of arrival at Skagway uncer- tain, which however, was expected to be about noon.
 The visit of the presidential party to Juneau ended last night with a brilliant reception at the governors mansion attended by several hundred persons. During the afternoon the president and his cabinet advisors conferred with several leading Juneau citizens on the steps the federal goy- trnment would take to aid in the de- velopment Of the territory.
 While it was indicated that the president and the members of his official family have reached no defi- mite conclusion they have well in mind the problems peculiar to south eastern Alaska.
 Virtual decision, was reached yester- day to abandon plans for the trip from Fairbanks to Chitina over the Richardson trail because of it's rigor- cua nature. necessitating travelling in automobiles for three days over rough roads, with some of the party sleeping in tents, but today the president was said to be reconsider ing. and desirous of making that portion of the trip as scheduled. Mrs Harding was also said to be in- sisting that the trail portion of the trip be made as scheduled, although all the members of the party, includ- ing President Harding, have urged her not to attempt it,
 If the trail trip is abandoned the rarty will return from Fairbanks to Seward on the Alaska railroad.
 The president is also understood. to have virtually decided to use the marine transport Henderson rather than shipping board steamers for the voyage from San Diego to New York or Washington via the Panama canal and Porto Rico.

HARNESS VERMONT RIVER .
 TO SUPPLY ELECTRICITY
Deerfield Valley Between Wilmington and Massachusetts Line in Process
 of Transformation.

Wilmington. Vt, July 1.-The Deerfeld Valley between this town and the Massachusetts state line is in process of transformation from a quiet, picturesque country with one little village and several agricultural communities to a great artificial lake. This reservoir of energy is destined to send power over electrical transmits sion lines to mills and factories many miles distant in Massachusetts.
 On either side of the valley are chains of high hills running almost parallel to the Deerfield river. Here and there the valley widens to in- clude open fields, and again the hills close together and leave but a nar- row pass for the river. At Davis Bridge, where the valley is wide, a dam is being thrown across, Under present plans the valley will be f1ood- ed in 1924, ~s '.s -..
 Against the huge dam the river will send water from it's sources in the Vermont mountains until 1t reaches d depth of 200 feet. The water will back up against the hill sides and submerge fields now under cultivation. It will cover the little community now known as Millers' Mills and will wash back to the out skirts of Wilmington. The lake to be created will be ten miles long and half a mile wide.

FUEL IMPORTS GROW.
Lack of Transportation Causes Brazil
 toNBuy Coal From Outside.

Rio De Janeiro. July 11.-Although the greater part of Brazil lies within the tropics, one of the greatest prob- ems involved in the country's eco- homie expansion is that of fuel supply. In 1922, according to official figures published here, Brazil spent approxi- mately s27,0oo,ooo on imported fuels.
 The principal difficulty in the way of developing known sources of fuel in Brazil at present is the lack of transportation facilities Coal mined in Brazil now costs more on this mar ket than that imported from England or the United States.
