School Opens

/
School has begun and some of the
children are happy and know it and
some are happy and think they are
not. Prof. Ware is back and we are
assured that the good work he did
last year will continue. Misses Wal
lace and White, the two assistants in
the lower grades have made a good
impression on those whom they have
met. Miss White is from our sister
town not far away, called, we be-
lieYe, Mountain Home or some such
name. Enough said. OF course she
is all right. Miss Wallace is from
Belmont, Wash, and a graduate of
the State U. at Moscow. Washing
ion is pretty good state if one has
some of the advantages of Idaho
training to add to the Washington
Inheritance.
Gun Club Posts Farms
The Gun Club which is the short

Tuesday night. Twenty-four we're
present and total membership of
thirty-one to date is reported. Steps
were taken looking to the securing
of the NO TRESSPASS cards enough
for all farms and ranches. The Di-
rectors were directed to carefully
formulate the membership bylaw
and report at the meeting Sept. 16.
Also a rifle club annex of the pro-
gram were taken. The complete
plan will be announced at the next
meeting. A Law and Legislative
committee was selected. j. E. Ing

Erkenbeck are the members of the
same.

field and good yield from all of it,
Others are likewise rejoicing in the
prospect. The fruit crop is coming
on some three or four weeks earlier
than usual due no doubt to the very
warm weather and the dryness of
he air. This same tendency was
noted in regard to the garden crops.
The irrigation was all right for the
'oots but the dry air ripened the
.rop too rapidly. We must find
ONE way to secure sufficient humid

Who are so wise can offer sugges-

on the more strict enforcement of

WHITNEY TELLS OF
 TEAPOT DOME DEAL
Testifes Regarding Financial
 Operations of Fall

Washington. Jan. 3.-Harry Payne | Whitney New York banker ana sportsman, told the senate public lands committee today of his part ir 1 the floating corporations organized by Harry F. Sinclair, to operate the lease of Teapot Dome naval oil re- serve.
 A total of 55,00O shares of the Mammoth Oil company and con- siderable interest in the Sinclair Oil ] company were purchased by him ir October and November, 1922, Mir Whitney said, in three blocks. For the first block comprising 5O,000 shares of Mammoth and 50,0O0 shares of Sinclair oil, he said he gave "ade- quate security in exchange" includ- ing 5000 Standard Oil of New Jersey, 2,000 Standard Oil of New York and 6,000 Reynolds Tobacco.
 The second block of 50,000 shares of Mammoth, he said, cost s1,025, 1000 and the third, of 55,000 shares, was obtained in exchange for 23,000 shares of Reynolds Tobacco.
 Before Mir. Whitney was called,
 
 B. Mclean, publisher of the Washing ton Post, D appear before it later and testify regarding a loan of s100,- GOO he made to Former Secretary AL bert B. Fall, who was head of the in- terior department when the Teapot Done lease was signed.
 ''I don't know" said Mir. Whitney. 'I was invited to participate and it gave me q chance to get that addi- tional stock on payment of the amount of ell which was S10 a share. Of course I was liable for the balance at any time"
 He said the price to be paid under the syndicate agreement was $50 or s32 a share. Mir. Walsh pointed out market quotations of s56 a share had been published, and asked why this handsome profit had not been taken.
 Tt may have been," said Mir. Whit ney. "I haven't had a report on the syndicate. But a quotation doesn't mean we could have gotten that price for the stock"
 The Sinclair issues had in every in- stance been purchased for his own account as an investment, the witness declared, with the exception of small portions of the syndicate interest, were still held in his name.
 Mir Sinclair is to be recalled to- morrow for interrogation along the same lines, It was indicated the in- qniry would be concluded early next week, with the appearance of MT. Mclean and two other witnesses who arc 10 testify upon geological features of the reserve.
 In addition to the stock owned out right, MT. Whitney said he had taken a s25,000 share interest in Inc Mammoth on syndicate, which Mir. Sinclair has testified was organiz- ad to carry out the lease.
 What was the object of the syn iicate?" asked Senator Walsh, demo- ,rat, Montana.

MUSSOLINI SAVED
 ITALY FROM 'REDS'
Speaker at Rotary Club Luncheon
 Describes Italian Premier

Detailed information concerning the 1 administration of Premier Mussolini i in Italy, which places that official in different light than he has been 1 regarded heretofore by many, accord 1 ing to expressions of opinion after
 wards, was given by Attorney James l Roe of New York, at the regular l weekly meeting of the Rotary clut
 today.
 Mir. Roe has just returned from Italy where he made a study of the situation. He explained that Italy was in a state of disorder and was dis orga nized immediately after the war. For 40 years she had been the worst governed country in Europe" he said. He said paid agents from Berlin and Moscow in the employ of Lenine had tried to disseminate terrorism in it's
 worst form into Italy. Riot han ramp
 ant. Veterans of the war were mur-
 dered in the street, women and chill
 dren were not safe. Italy was under
 the red flag"
 He explained how Mussolini was a captain who mustered together sol ulcTS Un lnt DOIutT ldllus Ol lHt Coull- try and finally wrested the country
 from the grip of bolshevism.
 He explained how, after Mussolini was put into power almost by unani- nous choice of the people he showed himself to be a wise and able ruler. Strikes and lockouts have been abol- ished and the capital and labor prob- lem has almost been eliminated. When an employer or employe is guilty Of an injustice he is taken 10 q public square and in full view of the public given a large dose Of castor oil. Il usually cures all the trouble.
 He showed how Mussolini has i'm proved conditions, doubled the in- come of the railroads and cut the fax rate of the country in two. He spoke of the Corfu incident by explaining that Greece was pust a pawn in the hands of the British foreign office while the Turks were pawns in the hands Of the French foreign office, which was secretly backing Moscow. He said Italy's act was Il stand openly and above board against the secret in- trigues Of Europe and q warning to the men in London and Paris "who had reduced the League of Nations to state of imbecility"
