RETURN FROM EAST. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Darscheid returned Monday evening from a month’s visit to their old home} at Carlinville, Ill. When they} first arrived in the east the weather was cool and agreeable but before leaving it became very, sultry and hot. They re-| turned home over the Southern Pacific. Crop conditions in the east, according to Mr. Darscheid are very good but in some local- | ities in Illinois the crops are be- ing materially damaged by the chinch bug. Corn in _ Illinois} was selling for 92 cents a bushel for feed. Coming west, crop conditions | also looked good to them and in many sections they noted that} the heavy rainfall had been de-! trimental to the farmers. In southern Idaho much alfalfa hay was damaged by the rain after} being cut. While they enjoyed every minute of their visit they were more than pleased to return to} their home near Cottonwood. | FOR NEW CARS ONLY. | Many automobile owners are} under the impression that if| they wait until August 1 they) will be entitled to the one-half license fee charged on and after | that date.

PARDONED PRISONER WILL! BE GIVEN NO PUBLICITY Say It is Hard for Ex-Convict to Find Employment and to Hold a Position or “Make Good” A resolution advocating the) withholding from publication of names of prisoners parpled from the penitentiary was passed Sat- urday at an adjourned meeting of the state parole board held at the penitentiary. The resolu- tion also excludes from publica- tion of the names of prisoners who apply for parole. The action of the board was taken, it was announced, follow- ing the meeting, to aid the pri- soners who are given an oppor- tunity to “make good.” “If the names of those paroled are broadcasted,” said F. A. Jeter, secretary of state and member | of the board, it will be very hard for therh to find employment and they will become discouraged.” On the strength of the resolu- tion, the names of several pri- ssoners who were paroled Satur- day, were withheld. None of the paroles are effective for at least 30 days and some of them do not allow the prisoners their liberty until 90 days have passed The board calls the attention of the people of Idaho to the fact that to enter a plea in behalf of a prisoner at the penitentiary who is applying for a parole, is a violation of a state law. Here- after, it was announced, inter- cessions in behalf of prisoners seeking parole will not be consi- dered. Protests against the parole of a prisoner, however, may be filed with the board. Following the meeting Gover- nor ©, C, Moore and A, H, Con- ner, attorney general, and the other two members of the board, with Mr. Jeter, inspected the cells out of which five prisoners escaped Wednesday night by sawing through the bars. Three small sack saws, which it is supposed were used to saw through the bars, were found. The saws were about two inches long and tied to wooden handles. ‘Other tools which might have been used to remove the iron ob- structions, were also found. REGISTER ADVANCE PRICE. July 1st, the Craigmont Regis- ter advanced the price of its yearly subscription from $1.50 a year to $2.00 a year. There is only one paper on the mountain today that still maintains subscription price at $1.50 and | it would be no surprise to news- paper men to see this paper ad- vance its subseription price. At the time, all papers made an an- nual charge of $1.50 a year news print could be bought for less {than 4 cents a pound while to- day it costs $7.50 a hundred, for No. 1 news, f.o.b. Spokane or Portland. The Register has also made another change, and in the | future it will publish its paper on Wednesdays instead of Thurs- days. MOVE WHOLE TOWN. Removal of the town American Falls to make room for the storage basin of the great American Falls American irri- gation district marks an epoch in the reclamation service of the United States. The entire town will be moved and in addition a number of miles of railway will be torn up in order to make room for the immense project. This reservoir will have a capacity of 1,500,000 acre feet and will be the largest reservoir in the United States and the fourth largest in the world. The floor of the reservoir will con- tain 83,000 acres. The estimated cost is $12,000,000 which in- cludes the cost of moving the town and railroad and construc- tion. The project when complete will water nearly 3,000,000 acres and offers the greatest asset southern Idaho can contemplate at the present time. plans call for the irrigation nearly 500,000 acres. of George A. Smith, former edi- tor of the Grangeville Globe, for more than 20 years engaged in newspaper work in Idaho county, spent a short time in the city on business matters. While here he made the Chronicle office a pleasant call.

A corporation was formed last week in Orofino with.a capital of $50,000 for the purpose of con- structing a modern hotel in that place. It is planned to build a three story structure having forty steam heated rooms, nec- essary baths, office room, kitch- en and dining room. C. E. Faye, real estate dealer of Culdesac, was instantly killed last Wednesday evening wh2n his car went.over a 800 foot em- bankment on the Culdesac grade. He was alone in his car except for the company of his faithful dog, whose barking after the ac- cident attracted the attention of a man who was passing by . The court made an order Tuesday at Lewiston placing claims of the Kamiah school district and village in No, 2 classification as regards of pay- ment in the liquidation of assets of the Kamiah state bank, which failed three years ago. The state bank commissioner had given these claims less favorable classification. The Kamiah commercial club is behind a movement in that place to levy a five mill tax for a general street improvement program. Under present state law it will be necessary to hold a mass meeting to authorize the village board to levy the five mills which will be required for the work since the levy author- ized by the statute restricts the trustees to a ten mill levy for general purposes. June 20th was the 56th wed- ding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Wimpy of Nezperce, and a number of their children and other relatives—fourteen in all—assempled at their home and assisted in the celebration of the event. A big dinner was a fea- ture of the day’s pro, » which | included visiting and interesting discussions of the family history which had been made during these years of wedded life. The Nezperce fire house was attacked by fire Monday after- noon about 3:30 and only quick work of the volunteer firemen, who were in town on the job, saved the station and the livery barn next door. The bell tower and bell were damaged as well as slight damage to the roof of the station and to one wall of the barn. The fire started in the attic of the fire station and is thought to have been caused from defective wiring. The fire bell is believed to be permanen- tly damaged from the effects of the flames. That Dr. C. A. Hoover, super- intendent of the Idaho state insane asylum at Blackfoot, has placed his resignation in the hands of the directors of the in- stitution was admitted late Mon- day by David Burrell, commis- sioner of public welfare and a member of the board. It is understood that the resignation has been in the hands of _ the directors for several days. There are rumors in official circles in- dicating that a change may also be made in the superintendency of the sanitarium at Orofino. Mr. Burrell would not makea statement relative to the Orofino situation and Governor Moore is not in Boise, but it is known that he has contemplated changes in the operation of these institu- tions. It is pointed out that Governor Moore made the condi- tions at state asylums a definite ‘issue during the last campaign. Recently .officials of the United States public health service have visited some of the state institu- tions and have publicly criticized the manner in which the state’s charges are ing cared for. This is considered the immediate cause for Dr. Hoover’s action. “Under Two Flags” Orpheum.
