LIBERTY PEOPLE WILL
USE ELECTRICITY

James Clark was over from hber-
ty yesterday and in conversation
with the Examiner representative.
he stated that the people of Liberty
are very hopeful over the future of
their section. There is strong be.
lief that coal will be discovered
there next spring in paying quantity
and within another year Liberty
will be supplying ali Of Bear Lax
county with coal.
Mr.. Clark also stated that tn,
granting of franchise to the Tellu.
ride Power Co by the towns of
Montpelier and Paris, was pleasing
to the people of Liberty, as ,h'
companys transmission line will
pass there, and quite number Of
the farmers had already announced
their intention of having electric
lights placed in their homes. Several
are also figuring on putting IN
motors with which to operate wash
ing machines and for other nse,
about their homes.

0. 5. |. PAYS TAXES
UNDER PROTEST

Tuesday Tax Collector Dunford
received from the treasurer of the
Oregon Short Line Railroad COM
pany a check for $40, 324.sl, being
the amount of the company's taxes
in Bear Lake county for the year
1911. The check was accompanied
by a statement that the taxes were
paid under protest, which doubtless
means that the company intends to
test the legality of some of the pro-
ceedings of the state board of equal
ization, which has resulted in a
pretty heavy increase in the comp
any's taxes in Idaho this year.
We presume that similar protest
has been filed with the tax collector
in every county in which the Short
Line payes taxes, and that test
case will be brought in some one oi

political. If the nomination were
left to the selection of the mem bers
of the house of representatives,
there is little doubt that the Missouri
ian would carry off the prize.
1t is generally conceded thai
Wilson and Harmon will control the
bulk of the delegates to the next
convention, but even their most
optimistic representatives doubt the
ability of either to command the
two-thirds majority which is requir-
ed to nominate in the Democratic
convention.
Then, in the deadlock which seems
likely to ensue, friends of the speak.
er intend to press him forward as a
compromise. A great deal of quei
work is being done both in and out
of congress in his behalf, despite
the fact that his own state ia in a
way already committed to the candi
dacy Of former Gov. Joseph w.
Folk.
The candidacy of Oscar w. Und-
erwood is something which has bee
quietly but steadily growing from .
small beginning for the past 81,
months. His boom springs prim
arily from the fact that the Demo-
Gratis to large extent are casting
about for satisfactory candidate,
one who is not too radical, nor ye,
reactionary, and who has the
qualities of tried leadership.
The only objection which is rails
ed against Underwood is a sectiona
one, the fact that he comes from the
South
Against this, his supporters make
Chls sort OF an argument. Ihey
point out first of all that it is time,
nearly fifty years after the close of
the war, that sectional,sm should
cut no figure in the politics of a re-
united country. Moreover, they
show that he was born in a stat,
which did not leave the Union dur
+, ing the war-Kentucky-that for
twelve years he lived in far north
ern state-Minnesota- that the dat.
of his birth was after the war had
begun, and that it was only in hls
search for a place to locate as a
young lawyer that he selected Birm-
ingham, Ala, as his home.

CONCRESSMEN WHO
WANT TO Be PRESIDENT
Speaker Champ Clark and Floor Leader Under
wood are Democratic Aspirants- Senator La
Toilette Also Has Eye on White House.

Washington, Dec. 16-Despite
the fact that seldom since the Civil
war has the country gone to either
house of congress to select candi-
dates for the presidency, and still
: less frequently has it transferred
any man from congress to the White
house, there are today at least three
statesmen serving in the national
legislature who have more or less
well defined aspirations for higher
honors.
These are Speaker Champ Clark
of Missouri and floor leader Oscar
W. Underwood of Alabama, both
worthy rivals of Governors Wilson
and Harmon for the Democratic
presidential nomination, and Senator
Robert M La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin, who is conducting an active in
surgent propaganda against Presid-
ent Taft in the hope that he may
succeed in snatching the standard
from the president and become tn,
Republican nominee in the approch-
ing campaign.
A roster of candidates for the
presidency of both praties in the
past fifty years shows that for the
most part presidential nominees
have been men without experience
in congress. Grant, Hayes, Arthur,
Cleveland, Roosevelt and Taft

mental affairs elsewhere than In

Garfield had had successful career
in the house and so had Mckinley

elected twice to the presidency.

Another one of the pioneers of
Bear Lake valley has been called to
his final rest, in the person of John
q. Hoff of Georgetown, who died
suddenly at his home yesterday
evening about $50 o'clock. Death
resulted from dropsy and oomplica-
tions incident to old age, Mr.. Hoff
having passed the 73d mile stone in
life on the 10th of this month.
While his condition had been poorly
for the past year, he was feeling as
we'll as common yesterday, and was
about the house during the day, and
the end came unexpectedly few
minutes after he had lain down on
couch to rest.
MIR, Hoff was born in Philadel-
phia, where he grew to manhood.
When President Lincoln's call was
made for volunteers, he enlisted
with Pennsylvania company and
served his country faithfully during
that struggle.

POCATELLO GETS REDUC-
TON I'm FREIGHT RATES

Pending a final determination of
the inter mountain rate cases, in
volvlng the "long and short haul''
decision of tine interstate commerce
commission, and a settlement of the
Spokane rate cases, the Oregon
Short Line, in conjunction with
other roads of the Hartman sys-
tern, has adopted temporary tariff
affecting the inter-mountain terri
Tory, effective January %, 1919.
Pocatello is granted material ie-
ductions from Chicago and Missi-
ssippi and Missouri river points.
Under the re-adjnstment, rates
from the points named to the Gate
City OF Idaho are fixed on the
straight mileage basis, as compared
with Utah common points.
In other words, slightly lower
ates are granted Salt Lake and
Ogden than Pocatello, but the diff
ference is only temporary.
Positive assurance is given that
when permanent tariff is published
which ;s expected to be within &c
DAYS, Pocatello will be placed on al
exact equal footing with the Utat
towns.
This means that PocatellO whole
salers aud jobbers can compete on al
equal basis with Salt Lake and Og
den jobbers, and the metropolis 0
southeastern Idaho can dominat
the trade of this region.-Pocatell

BEAR LAKE WILL HAVE
TEN DELEGATES

The republican state convention
which will be held at Lewiston the
latter part of next May, for the
purpose of selecting delegates to
the national convention, will be

Lake county will be entitled to 10
delegates In the convention. The

ventlon was made from the vote

Justice OF the supreme court.
The method by which [ b
counties in the state shall select
their delegates is to be left to the

choose them by the old convention
method or by the direct primary
plan, as fosfered by Senator BoIah.

state at this time. but the Examiner

COMMENTS ON THE LEAGUE GAMES

OF the three two-baggers made in
the Oahu League games, that by Es-
pmda was the only one to score a run
ner. In the seventh inning of the
Stars, Hayes walloped the sphere to
oenterfeld for two, advancing Kan
Ven to third, with Williams still to
bat, but the best Williams could do
was to pop one to the infeld. Sum
ner's two-bagger woke the fans up.

GOOD TENNIS
ON SATURDAY

The second afternoons play in the
Castle cup tennis tournament brought
out some good play on Saturday, for
of the nine matches contested five of
them went the full three sets, three
were decided in two straight-out sets,
and the other one went by default.
One game in the first round, that
between F. E. Steere and G. L. Duck
worth, was decided early, Steere win
ming 81, GA. Then Steere had to
stack up against S. A. Baldwin and
lost out after three sets were played.
Baldwin put up a great game against
Steere, who owed fifteen, and Steere
also played in fine form. The first set
went to Baldwin So, Steere took the
second rs, but Baldwin came back
for the third and won it 6-3. 1t was
somewhat unfortunate that Steere had
to play two matches in the one after
noon, otherwise he may have stood
even better chance against Baldwin.
Greenwich won out from Durston,
6-3, 3-6, GA. Theo. Richards was beat
en- by r. Sinclair 6-3, 6-1, and on the
result of this match alone Sinclair
must be regarded as having as good
chance as any player to pull off the
tournament. O'Dowda of Eva got
through his second engagement with
success, winning from w. A. Wall, 6-3,
SO, SO. Buttolph beat ]. Guard, 60,
2-6, 6-1, and ]. Macauley beat c. G.
Bockus, 60, 4-6, 6-S.
This afternoons matches promise
well. They are as follows:
Neighboorhood Courts.
L. NJ. Judd VS.. w. Greenwel.
]. ODowda VS.. S. A. Baldwin.
Beretania Courts.
Buttolph VS.. ]. Macaulay.
]. r. Judd VS.. ]. Sinclair.
Rather a mix-up occurred between
V. Stevenson and G. G.. Guild as t.
their first match Stevenson was busy
and could not play and decided to de
fault to Guild, but Guild also found
he was busy and came to the con
clusion that he had better default tC
Stevenson. Neither of these players
turned up for the second round, which
gave J. R. Judd an easy path into to
days matches.

The double plays in yesterdays
