AGED miner, Wife
TO COUNTY farm
GAVE A YEARS TO HOPELESS
QUEST FOR MINERAL WEALTH

After having spent A years in the
timbered district at the foot of Gold
Hill, northeast of Harvard, isolated
to a great extent from the rest of
the world, and spending their time
and what money they could get to-
gether in the vain hope of developing
a mine which would make them in
dependent, Mr. and Mrs. Adam Carri-
co were brought to Moscow, Satur-
day. and have been sent to the county
of Moscow. to spend the remainder
of their days.
Mr.. Carrico, with his wife and a
brother, first located in the Gold
Hill district in 1879, and secured a
title to some placer ground. At that
time there was considerable placer
mining being carried on in Gold Hill
district, and farther up the Palouse
in the Hoodoo district. For many
years the two brothers were able to
wash out more than a living and de-
velopment was started on a promis-
ing quartz property. For years they
labored faithfully on this property
taking out enough gold from their
placer diggings to pay expenses.
Some 80 years ago Adam Carrico be-
came blind, and this made it i'm
possible for him to do much work.
The brother, however, who is still
on the property, carried on the work,
until the past three or four years,
when it was impossible to carry on
any longer, although there is every
reason to believe that the property,
if developed, would be worth con-
siderable money
CarricO so Years Old
Adam Carrico is 80 years of age,
but in good physical health. Several
years ago a high school class from
the Palouse high school, went to the
Carrico mine for picnic. AT lun-
cheOn time they carried to the aged
blind man a dish of ice cream. and
were informed by him that it was
the first time in some 20 years that
he had tasted ice cream.
Saturday the Latah county sheriff's
office was notified by residents of
the district that the couple should be
cared for and that Mrs. Carrico was
mentally unbalanced They were
brought to this city by Deputy Sher-
iff Grant Robbins, and after an exam
ination by County Health Officer J.
w. Stevenson, and Probate Judge Ad-
rian Nedson, they were committed to
the county farm Mrs. Carrico, who
is in the habit of talking to herself
almost continually. probably as a re-
suit of being alone the greater part of
the time for so many years, was pro-
nounced entirely harmless, and the
officials believed the aged couple
should be allowed to spend the re-
mainder of their years together. The
wife has faithfully cared for her hus-
band during all the years of his blind
ness Although their means are ex-
hausted they had never asked for
help. and had continually lived in the
hope that they might realize some
thing from the mining property to
the development of which they had
given almost their entire lives.

COMPLETION Of
HIGHWAY ASKED
BOISE WANTS NORTH AND SOUTH
LINKED T0GETHER-AD0
RESOLUTIONS

Boise-Boise has Joined hands with
north Idaho to use its influence to
bring about the completion of the
north and south highway. The
chamber of commerce of this city has
passed the following resolution and
forwarded it to Governor G. G. Moore
and William G. Hall, state commits
sioner of public works:
Whereas, the north and south
state highway is one of the first high
way projects approved and author
lied by the state of Idaho and is of
first Importance to the people of the
state in the development of that spirit
of unity and patriotic loyalty which
should exist in every commonwealth;
and,
Whereas, a large sum, aggregat-
ing $4,000,000 or more has been ex-
pended by the state and national gov
ernments in cooperation with coun-
ties and local communities upon said
highway; and,
Whereas, the benefits which would
be realized from the use of the high
way are made unavailable and the
purposes of the investment practf-
cally defeated, by reason of a few un-
completed sections in the Salmon
river canyon, viz: South from Rig
gins, IA miles; between Lucille and
higgins, miles; between completed
points, 8 miles; total, 23 miles. The
further expenditure of a relatively
small sum would open the highway
to through travel and traffic, making
possible that intercourse and ex-
change which would result in added
prosperity, and promote better feel
ing within the state. Also removing
the barriers which now exist between
the people of the north and their
state capital; therefore, be it
Resolved, that further delay in the
completion of the highway through
the Salmon river canyon would be
unwise, uneconomic and unjust, and
we hereby recommend and urge the
early completion of the same and the
much needed surfacing of that por-
tion of the constructed highway lying
between the summit of Whitebird
grade and the town of Whitebird.
When harvest and threshing season
is over, laborers will be more plenti-
full and as the climate of the Salmon
river canyon is well adapted to fall
and winter operations. we recommend
that contracts be let before that
time

LAW REGULATES
FUND INVESTMENT
SUPREME COURT DECISION IN
LATAH HIGHWAY DISTRICT CASE
CONFIRMS DISTRICT COURT

According to an opinion handed
down last Friday by the Idaho state
supreme court, in the case of Susa
3. Oversmith of this city, against the
commissioners of highway district No.
2 of Latah county, highway commits
sioners in the state of Idaho may
not invest funds of the district in
any other way except that prescribed
by the Idaho law.
In January of this year the COM
missioners of highway district No. 2,
G. P. Mix and J. H. Hazeltine, passed
resolution providing that $500
would be invested each year with the
Investors Syndicate of Minneapolis,
a foreign corporation, for period of
ten years. AT the end of that time
the syndicate was to pay to the dis
trict 100000 The district proposed
to raise the $500 annually by taxa
ton, and the principal collected was
to be used in paying interest and
principal on outstanding bonds of the
district. The first annual payment
was made to the syndicate, and the
action by Mrs. Oversmith was to re-
cover this money, and to prevent fur
ther payments.
Investment Contrary to Law
Judgment was taken against the
highway district by default in the
district court and the appeal made
to the supreme court was from the
judgment directing the return of the
funds. The lower court also held
that the district could not again en-
and the supreme court affirmed this
decision.
Public funds may only be deposited
in accordance with the state deposi-
tory law, enacted by the 1921 session
of the legislature, the supreme court
held. 1t also said that the purpose
of the act is to safeguard and protect
the funds of political subdivisions and
municipal and quasi-municipal sub
divisions of the state.
Under this law funds of any such
highway district may be invested only
in United States bonds, Idaho bonds,
bonds of any county, municipal cor
poration, or any school or highway
district of the state, state warrants
and bonds of any association, corpora
ton or company approved by the
DO1A VI SOFtIuOIS Ol luG NEW OTk
stock exchange.
Not Designated Depository
" 1t is apparent" says the court,
that the Investors syndicate is not
a designated depository within the
provisions of the state law, and not
being depository, it could not re-
ceive deposits of public funds. 1t is
also apparent that the installment
savings certificate of the Investors
syndicate does not fall within any
class of securities specified in the
law.
While it is quite proper and in
keeping with the statutes of the state
governing the investment of public
funds that the burden of the taxpayer
should be lessened to the extent of all
interest that may be earned by public
funds collected or to be collected, the
investment of such funds is controlled
by statutory provisions which must
he strictly followed, even though the
interest so earned is less than might
be earned by speculative invest
ments''
The opinion of the court was pre-
rared by Chief Justice Alfred Bulge
and concurred in by Associate Jus
tices Charles P. Mccarthy, Robert N
Dunn. William E. Lee and William
A. Lee.
