A TRIO o. THIEVES WHO
CAME TO GRIEF.

Louis Hendrickson, Chester Olsen
and Billy Walton, the latter familiar
ly known as Peg, iAdulged in a
delightful little pastime last week.
They broke into the commisSary of
Corey Bros. at Arco aud stole ev ry-
thing but the ground upon which the
commissary stood. After this little
frolic they stole a Short Line car ard
hit down the track into the desert.
Word was sent to the sheriff's office
in this city, and that indefatigable
old sleuth, Doc Kestner, deputy
sheriff, took up the trail With tire
SIS energy he trailed the trio to
deserted sheep herder cabin out in
the desert, about three miles from
the Short Line track, where he found
the thieves clothes, and evids noes
that they had dressed up in their
booty. About fifty pounds Of chew
ing tobacco was also found. Not
waiting to chew up the latter, Mr..
Kestner kept up the search and To-
Gated Peg" in Blackfoot, his bad
wheel being easily traced along the
sage brush trail he took into town
The latter was pinched and quick

revealed the fact that the other two
had been seen in Pocatello. Sheriff.
DeKay soon grabbed them in the
Gate City and now the boys are serv-

they are through with that the Blaine

GOOD STREETS AND ROADS

Many improvements Being Made Along High

Division of Bing ham County Results in Ben
efit To South End of Old County.

Phenomenal Improvement has been
mad: in the condition of the roads
in the southern end of Bingham coun-
ty and in the streets of this city.
since the division of Bingham county,
and the people should feel that they
owe debt to the repres entaieives OF
the old county b cause of their eff
forts to unite more closely the two
interests OF the north and south ends
by division. Heretofore the two COM
mlssioners in the north end ruled the
board, and quite naturally they ex-
erted their influence to build up the.
district surrounding Idaho Falls Since
the division this is materially chang
ed and today the present board Of
county commissioners of this county
have done NOR toward building
good roads, which in turn are the
real homebuilders of a community,
than the old board did in their en-
tire term Of office. Peter G. Will
llams is natural road builder but
he was handicapped by being in the
minority. The county commissioners,
under the present law, each have a
road district to oversee and they are
doing their duty Well. One district,
which comes under the writer's no.
tice is that of Commissioner w. H.
Stufflebeam, comprising all that part
lying south of kimball to the south
county line. At the present time
Mr.. Stufflebeam is grading the road
from the fair grounds north to Kim
ball, and the work is under the su-
pervision of former chi of police.
c. II. Hilliard. Where depressions
in the road prevailed a year ago,
and an undulati@g vista presented it
self, there is level stretch of oval
roadway with iron culverts placed,
not on the highest points, but under
the highest points of the new graded
road, VIII re they will do the most
good, and now when rain falls or
on the highway, they fiLd a quick
outlet to the big borrow pits OF the
Short Line, or some like place as ef-
fective. Afer the completion of the
road from Blackfoot to kimball the
work of making a road from Black

on Gibson is the point at which the
Ross Fork sand comm noes and the
building of this piece of thoroughfare
will be carried to completion as a pre-
paratory step to the building of the
macadamized road across the sands.
One year ago work was started in
this part Of the state, by the county
commissioners of Fremont, Bingham
and Bannock counties to build a high
way from the Yellowstone Park to
Pocat llo, and the work of Mr.. STUFF
flebeam and Mr.. Bennett, commits
sloners of the districts through which
this highway passes, is but the cul-
mlnation of this most commendable
undertaking. Already a fine grade
has been established in the counties
north OF here, and work in Rannock
county, with the same end i'm vi w
is progressing rapidly, there being
less effort required in that county to
build a connecting link to the great
summer play ground than in this and
northern counties.
The cost of construction of the
road from the north to the south
county line will be approximat ly
$4,000, not of course including the
Ross Fork sand. Much comment has
been indulged in by those unfavora-
Bile to an expenditure of money for
this line Of work, but a Jolt in the
ribs on rough read will do much
to counteract the good done by the
tons of literature received and dis
tributed by tn: commercial club and
the board of county commissioners
are doing a vast amount of good to-
ward booming Bingham county and
making life enjoyable for those al
ready here, and attracting the stran-
ger within our gates.
m passing, the fact should not be
overlooked that the city's new may
or, board of aldermen and chief of
police are not slow in improving pub
Tic highways. Every visible rock
mas been raked off the principal
streets since the incumbe1cy of o.
lice OF the new officers and there is

Mr.. Rich STATS S that he wishes par
ticularly to take mp tn matter per-
tanning to a display to be prepared
here for exhibit at the state fair at
Boise, and for the big land show to
be held in Omaha in October.
AS immigration commissioner, Mr..
Rich has made good and has been
very active in attracting favorable at
tention to Idaho and H., securing rail
road concessions and stopov priv-
leges. He is particularly interested
at this time in seeing to it that Idaho
makes a good showing at the Omaha
land show.
Mr.. Atkinson has been engaged in
promoting publicity work in the state
of Idaho for several years and has ac-
complished more than anyone else in
that direction. The Two gentl men
are thoroughly well informed and
their visit here will result in a rem
ewsl of the spirit of publicity which
is always kept on tap in Idaho Falls.

school in a manner creditable to this
city, and with sufficient capacity to
accommodate the rapidly increasing
number of people who will attend
ther' and the board Of education
will take the matter under advise
meot next Monday evening. The
advisability of issuing bonds will be
considered. A bond issue for such
purpose is highly commendable and
should receive the hearty co-opera-
ton of all tax payers. Educational
institutions are the backbone of any
community and while building i. is
right that the board should not be
handicapped through insufficient
funds. In the event of the board
deeming it right to issue bonds, let

to be established in this immediate
vicinity.
Several sites were inv stieated and
the fifty acre tract just north of the
city limits, known as the OlSon-Hen-
ry place, now The property of the Ida
ho Falls Development Co., was decid-
ed to be the most available for all
purposes. 1t is the purpose to teach
the science of both dry farming and
irrigation if the station is established
Mr.. Farr II took the matter up with
Secretary Shattuck of the Club of
Commerce and that orga ization will
no doubt assist in securing the loca-
tom OF the proposed station.
An experimental farm under intclli-
gent supervision is greatly needed in
this section of the state. The agricul-

tion that little benefit is derived and
the conditions in the northt r.. part Of
the state are SO different from this

needed in the southeastern part of
the state.
