Idaho Leaders Weigh Promotions and State Affairs
Captain L V Patch is named lieutenant colonel of the Second Idaho infantry to succeed P H Crow, announced by Governor Alexander. Idaho's crop and food conditions show 442000 bushels of wheat and 17145 barrels of flour in dealer hands, with Idaho and Oregon far from full funding for army aid. State land sales grossed 400000 from 13500 acres in Cassia, Minidoka and Twin Falls. Indemnity timber land patents totaling 27127 acres were forwarded from Washington. University of Idaho law school risks losing AALS membership unless Dean Ayers is vindicated. County official Frank McVall failed a physical for Lt Colonel post. Freight-rate claims cite rising material and wage costs and rail service demand amid Idaho prosperity.
