LEWISTON ~AG.- OFFICE
WILL BE DISCONTINUED

No branch office of the Idaho state
department of agriculture will be
maintained for the next two years at
least, it was announced Tuesday by
Mark A. Means, state commissioner
Of agriculture.
The announcement was made at
Boise, at the time M. L. Dean, direc-
tor of the bureau of plant indstry, was
leaving for the northern part of the
state to tell the farmers Of that sec
ton just what the department pro-
poses to do in lieu Of the service here
tofore furnished by the branch office.
Mr.. Dean will go direct to Lewis
ton, which was the headquarters of
the north office
The commissioner feels that the de-
partment can render just as efficient
service to the northern farmer with
the force of the Boise office without
a permanent employe on
the payroll for this work and he dis
patched Mr. Dean to tell the farmers
how this ~an be done.
Naturally Mr.. Means said, there
have been protests from Lewiston
against the discontinuance of the
office there, but>I feel sure that after
Mr.. Dean lays before the farmers of
the north the situation as it exists
there will be no further complaint"

CORNER DRUG INsTALLS
ELEGANT new FIXTURES

Judging from activities around the
Corner Drug Store, Charles e. Bolles,
proprietor of that institution, intends
to have one of the most attractive
stores in the Inland Empire. He is
now having installed set of front
service fixtures, on the south side OF
the store, extending the full length
of the room. The fixtures are of
birch and mahogany stained, with
plate glass mirror backs and doors.
The fixtures are in two sections, and
extend from the floor to the balcony,
with wrapping counter, with dis
play front between the two sections.
While the new fixtures will add
materially to the appearance of the
store, the main object is the extra
room, the fixtures sitting in front
of the wall shelves and practically
doubling the shelf space in the store.
1t will be necessary to remodel the
display window at the south front, to
accommodate the new furniture, and
the balcony will be enlarged. All
show cases in the front and center OF
the room will be taken out New
fixtures for the north side of the
room have not yet been received, but
will be here in time for installation
during the summer.

LITTLE CHAP HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM INJURY

Thursday afternoon a little chap
about eight years old, nephew of
Mrs. c. B. Westover, of this city, was
struck by an automobile driven by
Dr. w. A. Adair, and only by the
presence of mind of both the doctor
and the boy, escaped serious injury.
The accident occurred on Main
street, in front of Davids. The boy
started across the street, running out
from behind a car parked close to
the street corner, and running di-
rectly in front of the Adair car. The
doctor was driving slow and threw
on the emergency brake, while the
boy had presence of mind enough to
seize one of the lamps. He was
dragged a short distance before the
car could be stopped, but was prac-
tically uninjured.
Attention is called to the ordinance
which prohibits the parking of cars
within 20 feet of the property lines
at a corner, or within 20 feet of the
white lines at street intersections,
blocking cars and pedestrians from
view.
