Idaho reports a dredge on upper McBey Creek in Bonneville County seeking gold. State Land Board allegedly granted oral permission, while officials later deny knowledge of any permit. Clerks provided forms only for operations over 500 cubic yards, leaving smaller digs seemingly unregulated. The episode echoes a decade of dredge control concerns and lax oversight.

Editorial says legislature on centennial funding Idaho
Editors argue a small appropriation to support Territorial Centennial publicity is preferable to a large bureau. They criticize a $200000 to $400000 plan as wasteful and point to the Idaho Department of Commerce and Development for coordinating state publicity. They accept the legislature’s stance and call for prudent spending. They also apologize for Lions Club Girl Scouts misunderstandings and thank supporters, with contact in Steve Jones.
