Fight Leads to
Court and Doctor
Assault Charge Follows
Squabble on Drain
Canal Bank

James Knight and Harry Within
found their way into the district court
Thursday morning over a brawl which
apparently resulted from an argument
over trespassing and which sent
Whifiin to a physician for medical
treatment while Knight is being held
on an assault charge by county author

Whiffin. according to information
available here, was following a trap
line on a drain ditch near Middleton
when he met Knight. Words followed
and Whifin crossed the canal to the
side where Knight was standing. The
two men became engaged in a contest
OF physical prowess and Knight. OBJ

Whiffin carried as part OF his equip
ment. used the blunt side effectively
on the latter person. DR.. ]. w. Hamer
was called to dress the latter's bruises
which are said to be not particularly
serious.

Miss Helen Davis Is year old Parma

day with cotton clothes line, blind
fold herself with burlap and give the
impression that she had been assaulted
during the absence of her parents.
At least that is the theory which
county officers, called to investigate.
hold. This reasoning is substianted
by the fact that no clues were obtain
able as to the identy of the girls as
sailant. Miss Davis showed no in
juries nor could any other evidence
be obtained to indicate that some per-
son had been at the house. Miss Da-
Wis is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fay Davis of Parma, Mr.. Davis being
employed by the Parma schools. Ac-
cording to the girls story, she was
suddenly attacked from behind, bound
with the cotton clothesline in the
kitchen and taken through the house
to the bedroom. 1t was there that
Mrs. Davis found her upon her re-

COSTS
SHOWN CLEARLY
Wages and Salaries Big
Item in Operating
Costs

Omaha-What becomes of the rail-
road dollar is Interestingly explained
in President c. X. Gray's monthly talk
which appears elsewhere in this is
sue of The Tribune. Using round
hgures only, "A cents goes for wages
and salaries, 9 cents for fuel. 20 cents
tor other operating expenses, So cents
for taxes. Ia cents 70 rhirc of equip
ment and joint facility rents. IL cents
for interest on bonds and other fixed
charges and ! y cents for stockholders.
In five years between 1917 and 1922
the gross earnings of the railroads
increased. according to the statement,
SlSo7 100000, but, says Mr.. Gray, this
amount and more too was paid out
again, S9lS.000.0O0 in added wages
to railroad employees, S500.000,0OO in
added cost of materials and supplies.
Sl35, 100000 in added cost of fuel.
and Sl22,000,000 additional for taxes,
leaving none OF the increase for the
STOCK and bond holders.
"The Union Pacific system" saws
Mr.. Gray, "is one of the most i'm
portant enterprises west of the Mis-
souri, River. Its nearly $4,000 en-
ployes, and their families, constitute
a buying power which is the main
reliance of many businesses. The pur-
chases of the Union Pacific system
from firms located on the system, or
which have Offices on our lines, ag-
sregate millions of dollars each
month"
The statement quotes Secretary
Hoover's recent announcement that
one great contribution to the business
stability of the past year has been
he fact that we have had a free and
-egular and orderly movement of
transportation"
The railways are planning to spend
of millions of new money
Turing 1924 to better serve the public,

Earthquakes May
Be Forecasted
Observer Thinks Distur-
Dances May Soon
Be Predicted

Washington--Dr. Thomas A. Jag
gar, Jr., Director of the Hawaiian vol
cano observatory, which is connected
with the weather bureau of the United
States department OF agriculture, says
he believes that with continued story
OF earthquakes it will be made possible
to send out warnings in time to save
lives and. to some extent, protect
property. Flood warnings on some of
the great river systems annually save
hundreds OF human beings and thou
sands of dollars worth OF movable
possessions" he says. Increased in
formation about these volcanic and
seismic disasters which have occurred
should furnish better understanding
OF the precautions in building, and in
community practices that might be
taken by those living in regions sub
jcct to such disturbances.
The after-effcct of seismic or VOL
canic disturbance on climate has not
been studied to any extent by the
worlds scientists. DR.. Abbott of the
Institute has stated that
the climate of the northern hemisphere
was affected for two years by the crup-
ton of Mt. Katmai. Quantities OF
dust in the atmosphere tend
ed TO cut off solar heat and the tenn
perature was accordingly lowered for
many months

endorsed and copies ordered sent to

all other cities and town from Bliss
to Weiser who were not present;
Resolved; That il is the sense OF
this meeting that the state highway
department complete the placing of
their standard direction signs as fast
as their funds will permit. and that
the state highway department advise
each city in this territory as to the
standard sign that has been adoptd by
the department.
"Be il futher resolved that each
city pledge its cooperation to the
highway department in this mater and
further agree to carry out and erect in
their respective city limits the same
standard uniform sign to the end that
highways leading through all cities
shall be properly and adequately
signed"
In addition to this major item OF
nter-city business. the National High
way association road maps for this
territory this year came in for con-
siderable criticism. In depicting the
park to park highway system, the
maps show the Old Ore
,on Trail to terminate at Boise and
he highway to continue westward as
he Pioneer Way" from Boise,
through Emmett and Payette. Mr..
Woods explained that the state high
way department had nothing to do
such a route and that, as 2
natter OF fact, there exists no state
highway between Emmett and Payette

Meeting, this marter will be taken up

CITY BUSINESS
FEELS EFFECTS
Of GATHERINGS
Grange Convention and
Poultry Show Inhuen-
ce Noted; Conditions
Good, Bank Finds

Business in Caldwell was given
quite an impetus during January
through the poultry show and grange
convention, the monthly statement OF
the Caldwell Commercial Bank points
out Considerable hay will reamin in
this region. the bank believes. unless
unforeseen wathcr conditions demand
heavy consumption. In general the
report, which follows, is optimistic;
There were few days during the
month OF zero weather and below as
also a snow fall OF about five inches
on the first day OF the month. The
low temperature. due to the dryness
OF the atmosphere. was not severe,
and live stock has Jared better than at
many times when the temperature
recorded was warmer but more wind
and dampness prevailed.
1t is apparent at this time that
there is more hay in this locality
than will be required for local feed
ing. Stockmen bought only sufficient
hay for their use, based on a favor
able winter and as the weather to date
has favorde their judgment. it appears
that unless the feeding sason extends
later than in now indicated, the sup
ply purchased will be sufficient for
their needs. The prevailing price con-
tinues. according to location, from
500 to $500 per ton.
The price OF wheat, barley and oats
range about the same as reported last
month. A considerable amount OF
grain as also corn is being fed to
sheep and hogs. Thrc is a good
supply of all kinds OF grain and espe-
c:ally corn in the hands of the pro-
ducer. The slow but gradual selling
of these products, while not stimulat-
ing a rushing business has tendency
to keep up an average business condi-
tior.
The movement OF these products is
rather slow at present but it appears
that there will be at least fair de-
mand for potatoes OF good quality
little later in the season.
Clover seed Of good quality is in
demand at price from lSc to 20 c per
lb. The bulk OF this seed has either
been sold or consigned on an advance
payment.
There has been some sales recently
of range cattle at fair prices.
Such sales as have been reported
were made TO buyers who made inn
mediate shipment OF their purchases

WOMEN DISCUSS
CHILD LAbOR"
Proposed Constitutional
Amendment Endorsed
By Society

Strong endorsement of the proposed
constitution amendment making a
child labor law operative was voiced
at meeting of womens missionary
society OF the Free Methodist church
here "Wednesday afternoon when Miss
Grace Kowalk presented arguments in
favor OF the prohibition of child labor.
The afternoons program. OF literary
nature. was given over to considera-
ton of this problem. now much dis
cussed over the country.
Only such forms OF child employ
ment which cause perversion OF devel-
pment can properly be labelled as
Child labor and are generally re-
garded as wrong Miss Kowalk pointed
out that a distinction exists between
Child work and child labor" Child
work. she said. is educatives. which
child labor is exploitive. Public in
terests enters this problem, Miss Ko-
walk declared, not because OF the
mere fact of employment. but because
the effects of child labor are of ma
tionwide concern.
Following Miss Kowalk's discus
sion OF this subject, various phases
were discussed by other speakers.
notably street traders as a vocation
ior children and the influence OF NAL
nutrition upon child development and
IS relationship to child labor
