II am porter in barber shop

corner of p, your honor. Yester-
day afternoon I stepped out on
the sidewalk for a minute while
my customer was putting on his
collar. saw a Ford coupe with
two ladies in it just approaching
Fourteenth on p street, running
east. They stopped pretty quick
just before they reached the car
tracks and looked up Fourteenth.

A Potomac Park car was COM
ing down Fourteenth at a fair
clip, and the defendant. in q
Durant. was trying to beat the
street car to the stop point in
front Of our shop. Just as he
passed US he semed to think he
had room to cut in front, but he
needed another eight or ten
inches. The street car caught
his left rear wheel and tossed him
against the coupe. The ladies
screamed and / saw my customer
looking for his oyercoat, and I
ran in to get my tip"

how crazy they are. and put on

I'VE came to q stop within

Rich Strike Made
At Old Hottie Mine
New Vein Tapped; De
velopment Work
Launched

L. T. Holte came out today from
the Holte Mine Recently he tapped
the big ledge in the lower tunnel and
will begin dropping the ore down as
soon as men and supplies can be
rushed in. The ore will run better than
$3.50, and the rich streak is about IS
inches. There will be no more shut
downs in the big mine for some years
to come Ed Kesson will start his
trucks at once to get in supplies for
the winter. Only one shift OF about
twenty men will be put on this winter,
owing TO the difficulty in getting sup
plies at this late season.
This is big news for this section and
the mining country to the north. The
Holte turned out over S550.000 before
work was started to tap the ledge at
lower level. and there is enough of
the rich rock above to run the mill
steadily for years to come. When
things swing into full stride there will
be a stream of yellow metal coming
out continuously, and that means pros
pcrity for the mines and for this
sec;ion.-Payctte Lake Star.

ECONOMY WILL
BE EWATCHWORD
FOR ALL IDAHO
State Sets Example and
Many Counties follow
General Levy is Lower

Boise-The economy program out
lined by Governor c. c. Moore and
carried out by the 1923 legislature and
state board of equalization is bringing
about a reduction of over II per cent
in the tax levy for state purposes in
1928 states the Idaho Statesman OF
October 9th.
This statement was issued by the
state auditors Office Friday, after a
survey of the levies made by the vari-
Gus boards of county commissioners.
Statements of lcvies from practically
all counties have been received by the
state auditor during the past week.
This reduction of IL per cent IS es-
pecially noteworthy when the fact
that the valuation of the state has
been reduced approximately two mil
lions of dollars is considered. The
real property for 1922 shows S4S9,-
219,692.89 as compared with S457,773,-
547.3 for 1928. The personal proper
ty roll for 1922 carried total valua-
ton of $23,573,204. The figures for
1928 on personal property are not yet
completely available.
The levies for county purposes, in
cluding schools and roads, show an
average increase of over 3 per cent,
although many counties have made a
courageous effort to reduce expenses.
The increase in many counties is due
to the action of the county board in
putting on a maximum warrant re-
demption levy to clean up outstanding
warrants. Outstanding warrants usu-
ally indicate failure Of a preceding
board to levy a sufficient amount to
meet current bills.
The largest reduction in the state is
made in Ncz pcrce county, where the
state levy was reduced from o. to AZ
cents on each S100 of assessed value
and the county levy was reduced from
Sl.o2 to Sl.02 on each 500 of asses
sed value.
Bingham reduced the state levy from
65 to 48 cents and the county levy
from S2.2s to Sl.7S on each 500 OF
valuation. Blaine and Canyon coun-
ties increased the county levy 80 cents
and os cents respectively. However,
in each case the county board put on
maximum warrant redemption levy
of 81. Without this redemption levy
each county would show decrease.
In each case state levy was reduced.
According to the state auditor. it is
evident that the majority OF counties
have entered into the spirit OF the
economy program.

FOOTBALL HAS

Two Local Teams Play;
Nampa is Big
Game

Caldwell football fans will have an
opportunity to see both the College OF
Idaho and the high school football
elevens in action this week end. FRI
day the high school faces what is
apparently the hardest game on the
locals schedule when they play at
Nampa. Saturday the College team
cavorts on Cleaver field against the
Albion Normal outfit. the first time
these institutions have met on the
gridiron for many years.
Eyes are focused on the high school
game at Nampa. From all indications.
this will be the championship battle of
this district despite the fact that it is
an early season contest Nampa on
paper has the edge. having decisively
won every game played thus far. With

The Parma game left every local ath-
lete in good condition. Inexperience
and poor judgment in running the
team on the field, coupled with SEEM
ing inability to convert on favorable
breaks. seems to be the major weak
ness of the high school team.
Coach AEse Cornell has shifted his
college lineup to give the backheld
more beef and driving power. Beau

full and is playing in his new position
like veteran. Jess Brandt is work

team looks like much improved ag-

HEAD LETTUCE
DEPENDS UPON
FAIR WEATHER
Cool Days and Nights
Will Mean Marketing
Highest Quality Pro-
Duct this Week

Anxious eyes are cast heavenward
these days watching for weather
changes which may jeopardize the fine
head lettuce crop now rapidly matur-
ing in the Boise Valley. Sunday
nights shower probably was not hard
enough to injure the crop but threats
OF warm weather may cause damage.
Continuation OF fair weather for
lettuce growing will insure marketing
the finest quality OF head lettuce ev-
er sold from this state or any other,
it is said. While shipments have been
going out at an increasing speed the
past wek. the quality has not been
exceptionally good because OF early
October rains. In fact, some of the
stuff has been quite inferior with loose
heads predominating. according to re-
ports.
But the major portion OF the crop,
that now rapidly approaching maturi-
ty, is the highest quality. Cool days
and nippy nights.
Prices continue good for first class
products. Mondays federal report,

CALDWELL HIGH
LOOKS GOOD IN
bATTLEFR|DAY
Easily Wins from Parma
by 26-7 Score; Hard
Nampa Game Ahead

Caldwell high schools football
team, taking advantage of a few
favorable breaks and displaying more
stuff than the team generally has been
credited with possessing, romped over
Parma by a 26-7 score Friday after
noon on slow Parma field. Parma's
one tally came in the first quarter,
the result of a Caldwell tumble, re-
covered by Parma and converted into
a touchdown by straight line pluuging
for the IS yards intervening between
the tumble and the goal line.
Not until the second quarter did
Caldwell really get within striking
distance. Then. by a SUCCESSION of
off tackle plays. Caldwell backs car
ried the ball over. Once, in the sha-
dow of their own goal posts. Parma
held and punted out but an end run
with CLANCY carrying the ball, follow
ing his nice return of the kick placed
the locals within scoring distance and
this time the Parma line could not
withstand the onslaught. CLANCY mis-
sed goal and Parma still led. But a
few minutes later. Caldwell again
worked the ball within IS yards of
the Parma goal line when Pete Kim
got away on forward pass. Bone
head football by the Parma safety
gave Caldwell this touchdown for Kim
received the pass with no on. to stop
his scamper for the goal line.
Kim. incidentally. looked like mill
lion dollars Friday. His tackling was
good. he was in every play and de-
spite his lack of weight he upset more
men than any player on either team.
An intercepted pass in the final quar-
ter which Kim carried for another
touchdown after parading down the
field for IS yards added the last laurel
to his performance of the day.
The third quarter was scoreless, al
though Caldwell high was once within
shooting distance. Not long after the
final quarter opened, Caldwell backs
again took the ball over on straight
football. Clancy converted and the
score was 20-7. Kim's final touch
down from an intercepted pass when
Parma tried the aerial offense on her
own 80 yard line netted the final Cald-
we'll score. Goal was missed
Caldwell Plays Nampa next Friday
At Nampa. This game is certain to be
the hardest one of the season for the
local team. Nampa this year has a
powerful eleven having run up 1911
points and has not yet been scored
upon.
Caldwelrs eleven promises real late
season strength. But it is far from
q we'll finished team as yet, inexperi-
ence being written all over the teams
performance. Teach at quarter play
ed 4 nice game Friday but his work
in directing the locals offense was far
from high class in the selection of
plays. And the entire team shows
inexperience in functioning, failing
repeatedly Friday to take advantage of
opportunities.
Walmsley at full was the Parma
luminant He was a bulwark of
strength in backing up the Parma line
and made many substantial gains by
plunging through the Caldwell for
ward defense. For Caldwell, Kim,
Clancy and Bardsley looked best. The
latter, playing a rowing center, pulled
the unusual when he intercepted one
of Parma's passes late in the game.

DANISH STATE AN
 EXPENSIVE LUXURY
Chancellor of EIchsqusr Says
 Situation is Not EnViahls

Copenhagen. Denmark, Feb, 2.-AI insight into Danish finances Is to hs found Ia a recent speech In th' Rigsdag by the chancellor Of the sx' ehequer. He says the situation is D, no means enyiahle. and he calls fol immediate reductions in state ex penditures as preferable to increased taxation,
 The expenditures of Denmark have risen enormously since 1918, ae eording to a Danish economist. Ter years ago the annual total income ai Danish citizens amounted to 77h,, 100000 crowns of which ss.0Ao, ,o0n or a little more than iA per cent were paid to the state in taxes, Den. mark now eonfronts q budget oi s0.o00.0n0 crowns, or nearly seven times as much as before the war, Between i9it and 1891 Denmark had a national income Of i2.7b0. .n0o. .0n0 crowns. of which 2.43T, T,oe0.0on. CT about % per cent. were paid into the national treasury Hence it is seen what an expensive luxury the state has become.
 Denmark must strive hard 10 get back 10 normalcy in her expenditure" a leading Danish business man has said to the correspondent Of The As- sociated Press. IL is no good nibbling at the salary Of the individual of- fieial. That merely makes for inef- ficient public servants. and will only reduce expenditures q few millions. No if is necessary 10 scrap whole de- partments. or at least reduce tho number of persone by one-third or one half of the present number. Gov ernment departments have. in so- called good times. tendency to appointed official creates work for another one. The result has been far too many officials and more expens- i've street car and railroad fares. gas electricity. etc.. without a correspond ing increase in quality of commodity. or service"
 Another prominent leader in the commercial world was more definite in his policy. He deplored. for in- stance. that the Danish foreign of- flee, at time when other govern ments were cutting down expenses. had increased costs by appointing new ministers and consuls every where. In his opinion it was high time for minor states like Denmark to abolish altogether the costly prac- tice of keeping ministers abroad. He suggested merging the present con sul-general and minister into one per son a kind of high commissioner. who should chiefly look after the business end of the nations interests leaving political problems to the so- lution of special delegations.
