This is the season of the year when the
housewife has to depend largely on canned
goods in making up her daily meals, and
there can be a great saving made in buying
canned goods if the housewife will buy them
by them by the dozen or case in place of one
or two cans at a time. We always make a
good substantial reduction by the dozen or
case, as the expense of handling is much less.
Ask us for the price on a case of the brand
of Corn, Tomatoes, Peas, or String Beans,
that you are using, and see how much mon
ey you can save by buying by the case or
dozen.
We will make up cases of mixed canned
goods giving you the case price.

IDAHO LEGISLATURE

Both Branches Get Down
to Business Commit
tees Are Named.
(Special to The Argus.)
Dolse. The two branches of the Ida
ho legislature got down to real busi
ness Monday, when the committees
were named In the house by Speakei
Conner and the introduction of bills
began. Up to Monday the only bills
Introduced were for various county di
vision schemes. m
The prohibition Issue Is the abaorb
lng topic In legislative circles. The
declaration of Governor Alexander in
favor of the enactment of a state wide
prohibition law, to become effective
January 1, 1916, came as a completu
surprise even to the leaders of his
own party.
Governor Alexander gave as hla rea
son for advocating the enactment of
a law not set forth In his party plat
form the changed conditions arising
out of the voting of Oregon and Wash
ington dry. With Idaho's western
neighbors dry and this slate wet. he
argued, the border towns would be
come the rendesvous of the liquor
traffic. He therefore asked that the
state be made dry by legislative enact
ment on the same date that the sa
loons will bs abolished In the two
states to the west.
Embuilement Is Investigated.
Next to prohibition, legislative in
terest centers in the situation result
lug from the embexslement of state
funds by O. V. Allen, former slate
treasurer, and Fred M. Coleman, his
deputy, both of whom are now serv
ing terms In the state penitentiary.
Oovernor Alexander haa recommended
that no action be taken until the re
port of W. H. Oleason, the expert who
Is at work on the books of the trees
