costs to rates which the railroads
now seek to put into effect. Taking
dry goods as an illustration, Mr.. Way
showed that the present rate from
Chicago to the first station west of
Ogallala, Nebraska, S21 miles is the
same as the rate to Portland 2,262
miles. This rate is s1.5S per hum
drsd pounds and this is the rate to
Idaho as well. he railroads now pro-
pose to reduce the rate to Portland
to $1.10. The cost sheets furnished
Senator Gooding by the commission
show that the cost of transporting
100 pounds of dry-gods firm Chicago
to oPrtland, reckoning not only the
actual cost of mving the gods but
in rents, taxes and 5 ga
per cent return n the investment, is
$1.1O, while the cost of moving the
same goods, Chicago to 0gallala is
only Az cents. The railroads pro-
pose to retain their present rate OF
s1.5s to ogallala and to points be-
tween there and oPrtland, but to
give Portland a rate of $110. The
cost figures, said Mr.. Way, show that
The rate the carriers propose to Port
and is fair rate, while the exist

The bill to make the Oregon Trail
a national highway has been given
the approval Of the commissioner of
public works at Washington, and the
Department Of Agriculture.
The talks at the meeting brought
out the facts that the Oregon Trail
as projected would follow the old
route Of the pioneers from the Mis-

be made one of the Federal aid high

make the settler feel that the move
means as much to him as to us.
Tributary to our lines are millions
of acres of improved and unimproved
lands which should be converted in
to farms where diversified farming,
dairying, hog and poultry raising can
be successfully carried on.
Idaho by reason of its advantages
in the way of a long growing season,
rich soil, and abundant water, should
profit greatly by this joint effort of
the railroad and the communities.
The railroad has no land to sell, nor
will its representatives make sales of
any kind. The work will be under
the direct supervision of Robert A.

TO PLACE SETTLERS
ON WESTERN LANDS

Omaha, March .15-A plan to place
desirable settlers on the large areas
of fertile land tributary to the Union
Pacific System, was announced here
today by H. M. Adams, vice-president
of the Union Pacific in charge of
traffic. "Selective Colonization" is
the name given to the plan, accord
ing to the announcement, as only
real home seekers with some means
will be encouraged to locate. Re-
duced round trip tickets of one fare
plus two dollars are being estab-
lished, tickets to be on sale on speci-
fed dates from March to November
Liberal appropriations are being
made for advertising in eastern pa
pers, and inquiries will be thorough
ly investigated and followed up by
field representatives of the railroad.
Helpful cooperation will be given
in meetin gthe wishes of the prospec-
tive settlers as to the kind of land
and type of home surroundings de-
sired, and in assisting in the move
ment of household goods and live
stock from the old homes to the new.
Arrangements will be made to putt
the new settlers in touch with coun-
ty agricultural agents, superintend-
ents of schools, home demonstration
agents, ministers, and many agencies
which may be formed to give thel
newcomers welcome, to assist them
in getting started and to keep in
touch with them through the forma-
tive period
"The Union Pacific System is en-
tering upon this work with conf
dence and enthusiasm" said Mr..
Adams, "in the belief that many use
full citizens will come to our com
munities and become permanent resi-
dents, and that the states, counties,

SOME GOOD NEWS

Announcement is made by miners
and operators in the bituminous
coal fields that wage agreement
has bee nsigned covering a period of
three years This will be good news
to Mountain Home people who de-
pend upon this kind Of fuel, and who
have had to suffer on more than one
occasion by reason of the inability of
the unions and mine-owners to get
together. In fact, it has about got
ten around to the point where this
country couldn't get through an en-
tire year without a big coal strike,
loss of wages to workmen and re-
duced profits for business men, as
well as blodshed and death in many
instances. So it is to be hoped that
the agreement just signed will hold
tight and binding, and that by the
time it expires both sides will have
come to see, as the consumer has
long ago seen, that this thing of
constantly flying at each others
throats is a money losing proposition
for everybody concerned.

LOCAL WORKER GETS
THANKS FOR WORK

The Idaho Anti-Tuberculosis Asso-
citation has sent letter of thanks to
Miss Ademek, chairman of the
Christmas Seal Sale in Mountain
Home, enclosing a table showing the
per capita sales and relative stand
ing in each county. The letter states
that in spite of continued financial
stringeney in may sections the sale
totalled S16,O11.7S in 1923, as
against s13,OO5.23 in 1922, or an
increase of $3,0O6.55. Twenty-Five
counties have advanced their sale
over the 1922 sale, four have the
same standing and eleven fell below
the last sale. The general standard
has been raised, as the highest per
capita sale in 1922 was 7.S, and the
highest in the sale just closed is S.6,
with the consistent increase all down
the line.
The schools Of the state had very
definite part in the seal sale, and
added materially to its success.
Boundary County Schools won the
scales offered to the county whose
made the highest per capita,

NIT that was the best fish that they
had eaten in many a moon.

Miss O'Malia's Accounts
Found Out of Balance
BELIEVED CRIMINAL
INCENTIVE LACKING
Auditor Defenbach Uncovers Short
age Which May Go Back Several
Years - Burt Smith Ap-
pointed Treasurer

Elmore county citizens as a whole
were profoundly shocked Monday OF
this week when it became known
that Auditor Defebach had reported
othe board of county commissioners
that he had found a shortage in the
county treasurer's accounts of over
eight thousand dollars.
The commissioners at once con-
yened and after talking the matter
over with Miss O5Mailia, the county
treasurer, asked for resignation. This
was at once rendered, and the COM
missioners then appointed Burt
Smith to fill the vacancy.
Miss OMAHA appeared dazed by
the turn of affairs, and according to-
her statement to the Republican
could offer no solution to the mystery
of the missing funds. She was posi-
tive that her two deputies, G. G.
Zacher and James O'Neill, were hon
est. and she was equally positive that
she had, not spent a penny of thel
county's money.
The general feeling over the coun-
ty is that Miss OMAHA is absolute
ly honest, and that carelessness in
the conduct of the treasurer's office
is the worst which can be brought
against her.
OF course the county viii lose
nothing, as Miss O'Malia is bonded
in the sum OF $4,000. The bonding
company will undoubtedly see that
thorough check-up is made before
making good the shortage, if any
then shows. Already several small
items have been discovered which re-
duce the amount of liability.
Inasmuch as no audit of the coun-
ty's books have been made for many
years, it is possible that the short
age may date back, although Miss
OMAHA does not charge this, norl
seek to evade her responsibility in
the matter.
James O'Neill has been appointed
deputy treasurer unde Mr.. Smith,
who will assume the office as soon as
his bond is made.

GOODING ASKS FOR
SHORT HAUL RATE

Appearing before the Senate COM
mittee at Washington on Interstate
Commerce in behal fof Senator Good
ing's bill which would prohibit the
railroads from charging more for a
short haul than for long haul,
Leonard Way of Boise, Senator
Gooding's secretary, speaking for the
Public Utilities Commission of Ida
no told the committee that his state
and other Intermountain states are
supporting this bill because they de-
mand what they concede to every
other section, the benefits of their
geographical location. New York,
Boston, Portland and Seattle and
other coast cities are entitled to the
advantages accruing to them by rea-
son of their location on tidewater,
he said, but it is equally true that
Idaho and all the Intermountain
country is just as entitled to the ad-
vantage of their geographical loca-
tion.
Lying closer to the great manufac
turing eenters of the East than are
the terminal cities on the west coast,
Idaho and the Intermountain states
want rates on what they buy in the
east that are lower than rates from
the east to the Pacific coast. Lying
closer to Portland and Seattle than to
Chicago and oher big eastern markets
the Intermountain country demands
rates on her products to west coast
terminals lower than rates to the
more distant consuming markets of
he east.
Mr.. Way pointed out that the con-
iumer payes the freight on manufac-
ured products; the farmer pays the
reight on what he ships to market.
The farmer and the consumer, who
,ays the freight are interested in
Iaying reasonable and nondiscrim
natory rates.
Until Congress definitely and in
terms lays down an abb
olute long and short haul clause,
here will be continued changing of
ates and agitation said Mr. Way.
his constant changing of rates dis
urbs business, retards development
nd tends to upbuild localities hav-
lg favorable railroad rates at the,
xpense of communities paying the
ighest rates, and rates which con-
-antly fluctuate. If Congress will
ass the Gooding Bill, this constant
citation will cease, he said. In the
eantime, said Mr.. Way, develop '
ent of the Interior remains at {
andstill, capital does not want to

Ada, Benewah and Bear Lake eoun-
ties won honorable mention.
The Association adds to their an
nouncement the following explana-
tion OF what is done by them with
the seal sale funds:
May we call you attention again
to the fact that the anti-tuberculosis
work is supported entirely by the
sale of the Christmas seals, and that
95 per cent of the money raised is
used right in our own state to carry
on our program for the prevention of
tuberculosis. We are concentrating
on the health program in the schools,
our organization cooperating with
superintendent and teachers. We
have enlisted yearly more than co.
000 Idaho school children IN the
Health Crusade, through which they
learn health habits and personal and
community hygiene. Our nursing
service has now been extended into
thirty-nine of the forty-four counties
of the state. In the past -four years
over $4,000 children in S35 schools
have been inspected by our nurses,
who have incidentally interviewed
$3.50 parents about the health of
their children. AS follow-up ofl
the nursing service, nutrition classes
have been SUCCESSFULLY developed in
twenty-one centers under the direc-
ton of our erusade-nutrition Girec-
tor. These classes are for the bene-
fit of the many underweight children
found by the nurses hTe children
drink milk in school, and many soon
come up standard weight, showing
surprising Improvement both in men
tai and physical development. Au-
thorities agree that undernourish-
ment in childhood frequently leads
to a breakdown with tuberculosis
later in life. so we fell that this is
an important feature of our preven-
tiYe work.
In addition to the school program
as outlined above, we make a con-
slant study of the tuberculosis prob
lem in Idaho, with survey of cases.
an effort to secure care and
relief for them through existing
agencies. We also carry on CON
stantly a campaign Of general educa-
lion of the public on prevention Of
tuberculosis, through the press, by
The distribution of literature, by lee
lures and talks in lodges. clubs and
other organizations, and by the
showing of films and slides.
An important feature of our pro-
gram is our cooperation with and I
supervision of the local tuberculosis
organizations in nineteen counties.
We finance them and help them to
'lan their programs Of work to meet
heir local health problems.
Our organization works with state
md federal bureaus for clean milk ,
nd the eradication of tuberculosis
n cattle. Meanwhile we must keen
p our campaign to secure sanator-
um provision in this state for the
Unfortunate sufferers from the dread
1hite plague, so that they may be
estored to active productive eiti-
enship.
