Blackfoot, Idaho, December 13, 1910.
Hon. Board of County Commission
ers for the County Of Bingham, Ida.
Gentlemen: Some two weeks ago
I took up the matter OF having an
engineers estimate as to what it
would cost to make a good road
over that piece of sand in the Fort
Hall reservation, situate between
Backfoot and Ross Fork, but, as yet,
you have not taken any action in
the matter. AS you will remember,
my suggestion was that you author
ize your county surveyor to make
a profile map of this road, chain it
off, and together with a like sur
veyor from Pocatello Of Bannock Co.,
these to be assisted by Mr.. Young
of Blackfoot, a civil engineer. rem
der an intelligent estimate Of the
cost attached to fixing this piece
of road.

the state should issue bonds for and
1t is altogether proper for the legis-
lature to pass measure thus Gre
ating the necessary funds. That
piece Of road gives US a bad name
from New York to Sam Francisco. II
you will observe, every continental
auto guide in America makes REFER
ence to it as being impossible with
the ordinary machine. Much Of our
county's produce is, at an enormous
expense, dragged through the almost
impossible road, and II we had a
good road there it wouldvery much
benefit all Southeastern Idaho and
the state In general. An important
to be gained consists OF
the fact that II the road were made
passable, many parties from Salt
Lake and vicinity, would drive up
In their machines AS far as the Yel-
lowstone National Park, and in so
doing our splendid farming territory
from Blackfoot to the north end Of
Upper Snake River valley would be
seen to its best advantage. As a
representative of the legislature, /
feel l cannot too strongly urge your
immediate action in the matter, and
In doing so I may say that l have
met with our legislative delegation
Messrs. ST. Clair, Edgington and
Warnock, and they are unanimous
with me In the matter; in fact, they
urged me to take some such action.
While the present road is along,
side the railroad, and consequently
over a large stretch Of sand, it is
possible by going east a little to
miss nearly all Of it.
With a view to creating favorable
sentiment, l am taking the liberty
of forwarding a copy of this letter,
with q request that they publish it,
to our nearby newspapers, and also
to Mayor Church of Pocatello and
Judge D. w. Standrod.
Believe me, your sincerely,

That was beyond human endurance,

would be unwound in moment, and
would skip away to explore some

down; but when in hurry he would

FINE IVORY NOW THE VOGUE
Toilet Table Accessories at the Pres.
ent Moment Are Costly but De-
cidedly Smart

All the toilet and dressing table
requisites are now found in fine ivory
The only care needed is to rub of
with fresh, soft cloth, occasionally
using a rag moistened in alcohol If
spots occur These, too, are more
costly than silver, but are considered
very smart
The backs are monogramed in
black, brown, and occasionally In
raised gold. Sometimes the sets are
shown with floral decorations, but
this is not so good style as is seen in
many of the limitations,
White celluloid sets with a mono
gram in black, dark green, blue, or
brown are now to be found in good
designs with simple lines, The latest
preparations are no longer combus-
tible, and full celluloid toilet set is
a good investment for a guest room,
for a girl at college, or for the chronic
traveller; for use in a bag they are
much lighter than any other ware.
The searcher after novelty can have
her dressing table appointments in an.
tique gilt, old Japanese lacquer, or
Dresden china
Such selection is not for the aver
age buyer as, unless rare workman
ship and corresponding cost are had,
the results are likely to be poor.

HAMILTON EXPECTS A LARGE
CROWD.
Continued from First Page.)


not be Christian here and here
after The unsaved tries to hide be-
hind the hypocrite; why not hide he
hind something larger than himself?
Lastly many refused to come be-
cause they are ashamed of Jesus. and
this was illustrated by the girl who
was ashamed of her mother who had
many scars received in saving her
daughter from burning home;
ashamed of Jesus who had been
wounded in the attempt to give all
salvation. Following a short prayer
and the invitation to which many re-
sponded, Mrs. Welles sang most
touchingly, Ashamed of Jesus"
In giving the announcements DR.
Hamilton said he wanted to see every
seat filled this evening; it had been
said that the audience will go to the
JeffrIes show but he did not believe
it; he had not asked the audience to
invite their neighbors but he wanted
them all to use their telephones to-
day and urge their friends to be
present in large numbers; he had
great confidence in the Grand juno
ton audience. The services would be
interesting and the ministerial quar-
tet would sing, which Rev. Edwards
said as a reason for large collection
was worth rs cents.
There will be prayer meeting Sat
urday evening and on Sunday morn
ing at ] O'Clock the services will be
held in the auditorium and all Sun
day schools will attend the services.
Sunday afternoon the service at the
Auditorium will be for the men and at
the Methodist church there will be a
meeting for the women.
DR.. Hamilton urged all who mad
heretofore been members of a church
| in other places but who had not hand
ed in their letters; all who had been
members but who had fallen by the
way and all who wished to become
members of any church to do SO be-
cause of the satisfaction ii will give
the pastors; he paid warm tribute
to the ministers of Grand Junction In
saying that they were the most loyal
and devoted men whom he had ever
worked with; there were no jealousies
but each and every one was working
for the cause of Christ.
Yesterday afternoon between two
and three o'clock the women were
addressed at the Auditorium by DR.
Emma F. Drake of Denver, who is
devoting her time to the cause OF
Purity She urged every mother
to set her impress upon the genera
tions to come and drew very graphic
picture of the responsibility resting
upon the mothers.
At o'clock DR.. Hamilton spoke
from the theme, Things That Ac-
company Salvation" They were joy,

life and real love for the lost.

is always a hypocrite himself, for hs
knows that that is not the real reason
for his rejecting Christ. The rea.
reason for our rejection of Jesus is
that we are ashamed of him. We
haven't backbone enough to ackBow-
ledge a crucified Christ as our loro
and master.
For special music last night, Prof
and Mrs. Henderson sang Living in
Him; and, after the sermon, Mrs
Welles sang Ashamed of Jesus
Quite a large number went to the

urged the people 10 make any special
effort to fill the Auditorium. But,
for tonight, he asked that every seat
be filled. for people were going to
make that tcst of the sincerity of
those attending the meetings.
Il do ret believe" he said, that
any OF my congregation are going to
the show; but, since IL requires
special effort to come out during the
week. | ask YOU to make the effort,
in order that We may have every seat
taken in spite of the other attrac-
tion.'
By request, DR.. Hamilton preached
on the same subject as the one he
took for Wednesday night-''Why
Men Reject Christ,-his text being
Therefore | cannot come"
All of the excuses given by the
guests hidden to the supper in the
parable had this in common with
most excuses offered today for not
coming to Christ: they were false
Men do not want to come to Christ.
and they, therefore, seek to make ex-
cuses for their failure.
One common excuse is that il is
not popular. The man who is afraid
to risk the poor opinion of his set is
a man who lacks backbone and man
illness. Your set may laugh you out
of heaven and into hell, but they can
not laugh you out of hell
Another common excuse is infidel-
ity Men say they do not believe
in Jesus; do not believe the Bible.
lnfidelity is one of the devils favor
ite weapons. 1t never has and never
can make men better; but in thou
sands of cases it has proved their
ruin.
SHOW me a man" declared DR..
Hamilton, who proclaims infidelity
and talks against the Bible, and
will show you man whom the BIZ
BILE condemns"
But there are so many hypocrites
in the church" is a very common eX-
| cuse. No one regrets the fact that
there are hypocrites in the church
more than those who love the church
most. but that is no reason for re-
fusing to accept Christ. If a man
were sincere in this objection. he
would prefer to spend few years in
| church with them, than an eternity
in hell with them. There may be
| hypocrites in the church, but there
will be none In heaven. One who
! makes this excuse always compares
the poorest church member with the
most neral worldly man. II is fact
that one who hides behind n thing
must be smaller than that thing. If
you are hiding behind a hypocrite.
you must be smaller than he. Fur
