bottle of the "tonic" to a 19 .year old
school boy and assisted him In syphon-
Ing the wine from the bottle, furnishing
Mm with a syphon and giving him in
structions as to Its use.
Hale to Boy Denied
For his defense Crocker denied having
old the tonic and refused to admit that
the testimony of the youth was true in
any particular. He admitted having
bought 24 bottles of the stuff from the
wholesale drug concern April 1, four
days before his arrest. Kleven bottles
were round on the premises and seised
by: the officers making the arrest, be
sides a number of empty bottles with
the label on them. These Crocker claimed
ne bought as empties from boys.
Miss Robinson, a nurse, appeared for
the defense and corroborated Crocker's
testimony In certain particulars. Crocker
. had sworh that the boy In question had
come Into his store, asked for a m&ga
stne and went out. He came in later, so
Crocker said, and obtained permission
to use. the telephone behind the pre
scription desk. He departed on both
occasions without buying a thing.

the defendant's testimony but could not
identify the boy, who was present In
the courtroom.

GRIFFITH SAYS
DEPRECIATION
FUND IS NOT REAL
President of. P. R., L & P. Co.
Says $1,154,798 Represents
' Theoretical Accruals.
When the reports of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company, on
file 'with the city audltcr. show an ac
crued , total of $1,154,798.96 in the de
preciation fund, it does not mean that
such an amount Is available to pay the
cost of replacing depreciated property,
declares President Franklin T. Griffith.
Rather, he says. It is a "bookkeeping
Item"' and represents sWieoretlcal accruals
or, money that has already been spent
in repairing wornout facilities.
ine state law requires that such a
fund be maintained... saved out of the
gross revenues, and set by for the days
when- replacements must be made with
out involving the' introduction of new
capital. The 'law specifies, however.
that such a fund may be used in build
ing extensions or other new facilities
In the case of the Portland Railway, '
Light & Power company, the public
service commission ordered $30,509 set
side monthly, but a provision was made
that this sum need not be taken from the
earnings until the net earnings of the
company are sufficient to permit set
ting aside such amount safely. In tY
meantime the commission held that the
company could set aside 15 per cent of
the gross earnings, less the cost of
maintenance of way and equipment, Mr.
Griffith said.
"The principal value" of depreciation
account on the books," said Mr. Grif
fith, "is to maintain property and pre
vent utilities from using depreciation
funds for dividends.
"When the depreciation funds are
used for the purpose of betterment, such
betterments are not capitalized and the
people using the utilities are not re
quired to pay. interest on such invest
ments.
"Under the law we are required to set
aside certain sums to build up units
that some day will be completely out of
service. This money Is taken and placed
nto ' properties of the company. Such
nvestments are not capitalized and
when betterments are made the cost
8 educted from the depreciation fund-.
Mr. Oriffith cited the fact that no
dividends had been paid by the company
n four years, that inftead the stock
holders had contributed $2,500,000, and
f a depreciation fund of more than
$1,000,000 existed in actual cash or in
securities, such action would not have
been necessary.
The financial forecast of the com
pany for the remainder of the present
year was produced by Mr. Griffith to
show its financial difficulties. This fore
cast purports to show that with every
expense reduced from original estimates
the entire earnings of all properties op
erated by the company must be used
to maintain the company. And the
same forecast also shows that by using
me total anticipated earnings of the
company, only ordinary improvements
can be made.

FLOOR WALKER HELD
Charles Snyder's Arrest Came
Through Lost" Fur Said to Have
Been Turned Over to Him.
On a charge of the larceny of a
larpe number of men's silk shirts, ties
and handkerchiefs from a department
store, Charles Snyder was arrested Sat
urday afternoon by Detective Dan
Kelleher. Snyder was a floorwalker.
Mrs. C. Fv. Harov-er, a salesgirl, was
arrested on a charge of receiving sto
len goods.
Detective Kelleher stated that a trunk
full of 'unused silk shirts and 15 soiled
shirts, along with other men's furnish
ings, were found in Snyder's room at
the Kose-Friend apartments. The offi
cers say they also found several pairs
of gloves and a quantity of dress goods
in the rooms of Mrs. Harover.
The arrest was brought about
through a lost fur. Several weexs
j ago a patron of -the store found a fur
that another person had lost. This
woman said she turned the fur over to
Snyder, asking him to turn It in to the
office. Several days later, the woman
asserts, she returned to the store and
inquired at the office concerning the
fur, as a "lost" advertisement Had ap
peared in the newspaper. She Is said
to have been told that no fur was
turned over to the bureau of the store.
A few days later Mr. Harover is said
to have been seen wearing the fur, and
with this additional Information house
detectives worked on the case.

While Third Oregon Boys Are
Over in France, Car Bought by
People of State Is in Storage.
With the boys of the Third Oregon on
the battle front in France and the new
ambulance bought and paid for by pa
triotic Oregon people still peacefully
resting Jn storage in New York Inglorl
ously denied the honor of performing its
mission for humanity the Fathers of
Soldiers and Sailors have undertaken to
speed the machine to its destination.
In getting Into the ambulance contro
versy the organization of daddies has
gratuitously taken unto itself the com
pletion of a task which ' has already
caused a serious rift in the ranks of one
woman's auxiliary and resulted In
charges and counter charges of finan
cial mismanagement. The controversy
in its gyrations has reached the ears or
United States Senator Chamberlain and
Governor Withy combe.
Contrary reports as to the reason why
the Oregon ambulance did not go across
the Atlantic with the Oregon regiment
have gone the rounds. One report was
to the effect that Adjutant General Mc
Cain had said that the ambulance waa
rejected because it was not the standard
type such as is used in Europe. Another
explanation is that the automobile was
left behind because it was not equipped.
Fathers Take Raid
The Fathers of Soldiers and Sailors,
headed by Stanf ield Macdonald, presi
dent, is taking the matter up with New
York represenetatives. If equipment is
all that Is needed, the money will be
forthcoming, it is declared.
The machine, which is a White car.
cost $3175. The money was raised by
the Oregon Army and Navy Auxiliary.
The sum of $335 was also raised to pay
for the equipment, it is said. The car
was purchased from the White company
of Cleveland, O. The. bill of sale wa.-
presented to the Oregon troops prior to
their departure from this city, by Gov
ernor Withycombe. . The machine was
duly delivered at its New York destina
tion, but there its travels ended.
Incident to the ambulance controversy
is the internal dissension which broke
out in the ranks of' the army and navy
auxiliary. Mrs. E. Rohlfing, the former
president, resigned because of the strife,
according to her own admission. It was
during her administration that the
money for the ambulance1 was raised.
She was succeeded by Mrs. Mary Nolan.
Blanche Boardman, treasurer of the
auxiliary, refused to turn over certain
funds to her suc.ces.8or. claiming that
the latter was not legally elected.
Aeeoaats Foasd Correct
Included in the funds was money said
to have been part of the sum raised for
the equipment of the ambulance. Miss
Boardman placed the funds in the safe
keeping of a local business man until
the trouble could be adjusted. . The
grand jury caused an examination to be
made of the books, and the accounts are
said to have been found correct.

LIBERTY LOAN PROGRESSING
Mining Men Propose to Aid Farm
ers in Harvest Season by Clos
ing or Working Part Time.
Boise. Idaho. April 20. All of Idaho's
bean and hay crops, together with part
of the potato crop, may be taken over
by the government this year. Market
Director Allred is negotiating with war
department officials with a view to
making this arrangement, which would
guarantee cars for delivery of the crops
and assure growers good prices. So far
as known Idaho is the first state to take
such action. The matter Is now before
General Goethals of the quartermaster's
department, and Director Allred is very
hopeful that his suggestion will be acted
on favorably.
Memorial day in Idaho will be ob
served this year as War Savings day.
Phil Sheridan post G. A. R."of Boise
took the lead in the movement to make
May 30 a rally day for the purchase of
War Savings Stamps, and other posts
over the state are falling in line for a
general observance along this line.
Other patriotic organizations have prom
ised their cooperation.
Miners to Help Farmers
Idaho mining men. through Jerome J,
Day of Moscow, have proposed to the
government that men from the mines
be sent to the farms to assist ln plant
ing and harvesting the crops. It Is pro
posed to close down the mines or run
them on partial shift in order that em
ployes of the mining companies may en
gage, ln farm work. The arrangement
contemplates that the various purchas
ing boards under the government shall
authorize a preference to such mines
in the selling of their ore production as
soon as they resume operations, so that
the sacrifice will fall on all mines alike.
Mr. Day is now at Washington, present
ing his proposal to the department of
labor. It is estimated that in Idaho
2000 men could ln this way be made
available for farm work. It Is claimed
that not only would the farm labor
shortage be relieved, but the miners
would profit physically by the period
of outdoor work. It is proposed that
they shall receive the same wages for
their farm labor they receive in the
mines.
'Teachers Charged With Disloyalty
The state board of education has be
fore it for investigation charges of dis
loyalty involving a number of Idaho
teachers. Commissioner Bryan has
served notice of a hearing to be con
ducted into the charges against 6. Ed
ward Scott, principal of the Besseltn
school in Lincoln county. He is accused
of making disloyal remarks to pup.ils ln
his school, discouraging Red Cross work
and the War Saving Stamps and Lib
erty loan campaigns. In Ada county
one teacher has resigned because of
protests by pupils and their parents
against alleged disloyal statements. In
another case two teachers resigned be
cause of alleged disloyalty on the part
of their principal. The Lincoln county
case is the first ln which definite ac
tion has been taken by the state board.
Education on W. S. S.
An urgent appeal to the people of
Idaho to rally to the support of the
Thrift Stamp campaign has been issued
by the committee in charge of the work.
Idaho is falling behind its quota, ac
cording to the chairman, ex-Oovernor
Hawley. and a campaign of education
will be pushed to awaken interest in
war savings.
Early frosts the past week severely
damaged the peach and apr-icot crops ln
southern Idaho, particularly in the Pay
etWvalley. Prune blossoms were dam
aged" slightly, but this fruit, the state's
leading fruit product, was not far enough
along to suffer materially. In some
sections the peaches were killed entirely,
causing heavy losses to the growers.
Pocatello loyalists made an example
of a slacker, when Frank Toby, a young
man who had been rather pronounced In
his pro-German statements was tied to
a lamp post in the business section of
the city, and forced to remain standing
all day with a placard around his neck
bearing the inscriptions: "I am
opposed to the draft" ; "I am opposed to
the Liberty loan" ; "I predict the kaiser
will be in Paris Easter Sunday."
Expert to Exceed Quota
With the return early next week of
Governor Alexander from Washington,
the matter of calling a special session
of the Idaho legislature will be defi
nitely decided. It is generally under
stood in state official circles that the
call will be issued and that a brief war
session will ba held early ln May. One
of the purposes of the governor's trip
to Washington was to take up with the
war department the matter of federal
aid for the ' recently organized Third
regiment, Idaho National Guard. Be
fore his departure he apnounced that
unless he succeeded in getting' this aid
a special session would be necessary.

There's never a dull market on the Brain Exchange. Ideas were
never in such demand before. The need of men in the trenches has.

If you are simply working with your hinds and bodies, you can
never hope to keep pace with the rising cost of living.
YOU MUST USE YOUR HEAD:
If you're digging ditches, figure out a way by which you can
move more dirt in a day, or remove the same amount at less expense.
If you're smelting ores, devise a process that will save a larger
percentage of the metal, or a cheaper process that will do the work
of present-day processes.
If you're a doctor, spend all your waking hours not actively
taken up with your practice in studying the lessons of the European
battlefields, and learn new ways to save life, learn how to make
shattered limbs useful; work out "a concentrated antiseptic where one
drop will do the work that a dram does today.
I have, demonstrated that business system applied to dentistry
DOES effect vast savings; that specialization DOES make it pos
sible for a dentist to devote all his time and ability to the particular
branch of dentistry in which he is most competent. Instead of pos

to a very human, very selfish motive, viz: IT PAYS ME to give
my patients more for their money than they can secure elsewhere.
In other words, I use my head to increase the earning capacity of
my hands.
Today, surrounded by a staff of Dental Specialists of experience
and skill, I am enabled to give the public MORE VALUE IN HIGH
CLASS DENTAL WORK than ever beore, and the cost is hslf or less
than Qtber kigh-class dentists charge for work in any way comparable.

Experience to Turn Out GOOD WORK!
