Since the old-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different salves have been tried for
skin diseases. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and cannot penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating

Geo. Cox Drowned

Mr.. Geo. Cox, of Vernon, B. c.
and a son-in-law of Mrs. Harriet
Craner Bailey of this place, was
drowned a few weeks ago IN the
Swan Lake which ls located near
his home in British Columbia
while hunting for ducks. 1t ap-

day previous and had good sue

Others went out Mr.. Cox and
Mr.. Thomas whent out on the
lake in small boat to scare the
ducks up while the other mem-
bers of the party were ambushed
to shoot them when the latter
rose to fly.
Both were good swimmers but
from the sketch given of them it
is supposed that the small boat
would not carry them and began
sinking. Mr.. Thomas attempted
to swim but being heavily loaded
with ammunition and gun boots
could not make it. Cox stayed
with the caboe till it finally turn
ed over and becoming numb
holding on so long before he
could get aid he finally went
down. He too, had considerable
ammunition on him and his
heavy clothing made it imposs-
ible for him to swim. Mr.. Cox
leaves a young wife and several
small children to mourn his loss.
His parents were in another part
of Canada at the time but return.
ed later. They were formerly resid-
ents of this place, his father being
a son-in-law of David Walker OF
this place.
Mr.. Cox was highly respected
in his home town and the paper
giving an account of his death
speak highly of him. The bodies
of both men laid in the water
four and one. halt days before
they could be found.

McGee & Sons
Sell Out.

Monday of this week McGee
and Sons who have operated the
moving picture shows tor a year
or more in this place sold out to
B. R. Lapree of Cottonwood.
Mr.. Lapree will move his family
here to attend the school and at
the same time look after the bus
mess he has recently acquired.
The purchase price of the mac
hInery, seats, piano, and other
fixtures was 100000 exclusive
of the land and building upon
which the house stands.
Mr.. Lapree, while he has not
had any direct connection with
the show business to speak of
has had considerable experience
travelling with large shows
throughout the country and there
is little doubt but that he will be
very successful.

Campaign Case
Lost.

The case brought against the
present county commissioners by
las. B. HIT who is a candidate
on the democratic ticket for Sen
ator from Cassia County was
decided in favor Of the commits
sioners by Judge Walters and so
reported to this paper on the 2nd
inst.
This suit was brought by Mr..
Hit to try and recover money
that the commissioners had ex-
pended in irving to bring tojust-
ice the violaters Of the local opt
ion law i'll this county.
This case was believed by many
to have been brought on, SO that
IN the event OF winning out, it
would have furnished good cam
paign thunder against the pre-
sent board OF county commits
sioners, but it failed and plainly
enough it reacts in favor of the
cou st the board sought i'll up
holding the law.
1t is conceded on every hand
by the law abiding class of peo-
pie thet money spent in the en-
forcement Of the law is just and
right, but where it is spenr in as
sisting to evade the law it is
wrong. The commissioner are
thereby exonerated from the
charge and no one regrets it un.
less it is the ones who brought
the charge. No campaign thun-
der out of that failure.

Cassia County
Fair Successful
EXHIBITS IN FINE SHAPE.

The Cassia County Fair held
at Albion last week was a very
successful one. The exhibits
were III fine shape and worthy of
cOmmendation.
The most attractive feature Of
the fair was the farm proIuctex-
hibitons. The fruit taken over
Fl ON Oakley by John Adams won
first prize all the way through
except in two instances where it
took second prize. The fancy
work was also very beautiful. -
While there were plenty OF
sports to make the affairinterest.
ing more attention was given to
the offering of good prizes for the
farm exhibits and other products
of the hand and soil which is ev-
identity going to give an impetus
to this kind of activity instead OF
spending hundreds OF dollars for
sports where the results in nearly
all instances are anything but
satisfactory.
While large purses are offered
for horse races and kindred in.
ducements in the outcome the re.
suit is unsatisfactory; Gambling
and drinking are encouraged by
such exhibitions and some one
wins and some one loses.

Lively Blaze at
0. S. L. Depot
FIRE WELL CONTROLLED.

A lively blaze broke out in q
box car at the Oregon Short Line
Depot on Thursday morning at
about one o'clock which awaken
ed Agent Reese shortly afterward.
He got out as quickly as possible
and attached the hose to the tap
which is connected with the de-
pot tank and begun fighting the
flames,
He also gave the alarm but it
was some time before many peO-
pie of the town were aware what
was wrong; as soon, however as
word was sent round the crowd
began gathering and no more
faithful work could hardly have
been done tor about two hours
than was manifested in this in
stance. The cars were standing
on the south side of the depot
and within twenty feet Of it, and
a south wind blowing. The Car
in which the fire started WAS
filled with mixed merchandise
which burned rapidly. The at
tention of the crowd was given
to the protection of the car ad-
joining it on the north and near
est the depot and they success
fully kept it from burning to any
extent and luckily SO for had it
got we'll fred there would have
been no hope of saving the depot.
The entire 100 #. platform tor
handling freight, a car and the
merchandise in it, was entirely
destroyed and a refrigerator car
bailey damaged. The loss OF
merchandise will probably reach
$4,000 and the other losses
amount to $15OO.OO or more
making approximately <2,OOO.OO
total loss.
The fire is believed to have been
started by hobo who had been
r driven from the carin Intervening
at about 10 pm. when Agent
Reese was locking them up for
the night, and as it started from
= the inside it was several hours
before outside indications were
. noticeable.
1t is considered very fortunate
that the depot was saved as the
wind was taking the flames dir
ectly towards it and only through
the untiring efforts OF the crowd
, which numbered about seventy
t FIVE persons was it prevented
from burning.

Democrats
Split Blankets
PIPE OF PEACE TURNS ToMAHAwK

For months past there has
been considerable rejoicing in the /
ranks of the Democratic party
because of the split that had
come in the Republican party,
which apparently has given more
hope to the Democratics than
has shown up since the time of
Cleveland's election, but in Idaho
this spell has been broken by an
eruption that threatens the COM
plete defeat OF the party IN the
state this year.
For some time past it has been
known that the forces Of Cover
nor Hawley and those OF Nugent
have been boiling under cover
and at last they have erupted in
Mt. Peele style with hot streams
of interlectual lava emerging in
all directions, scorching every
thing in it's course and driving its
most healthy stalks back into
the fertile soil of the Republican
party where there is continual
growth under an even temper
ture.
The bone of contention that
has caused the wide split in the
hope of democracy is that Of the
Senatorial Toga wanted by Gov.
Hawley and also john NuRent,
and the thing that aggravates
most is that ex-senator Dubois is
said to be coming back to the
state shortly to take hold of the
democratic campaign; this doe:
not set favorable with a great
majority of democrats and 50 the
scrab is on.
1t is said that either Hawley OF
Dubois IS satisfactory to the
Hawley forces while the Nugent
lineup will not stand for any
such business. Democrats or
every hand are lamenting the
crash coming so late in the day
with little hope ofbringing about
harmony before the election and
as result many prominent dem
ocrats throughout the state ART
lquoted as saying that President
VIM. Howard Taft is the mar
they are going to vote for; they
feel that under his leadership
their industries in Idaho will far,
far better and prosperity keel
coming as it has since CLEVELAND
lett the White House.
AS result of this democratic
crisis the Republicans have ittl'
} to worry about as the Progress
i've movement is believed by al
observers to be waning rapid,
and on every hand the sentimen
is settling down to TAFT for Pres
: ident with a complete Republican
lineup throughout the state.

Piano Contest.
CANDIDATES GETTING BUSY.

The voting contest for the new
Hamilton Piano in the Davidson
Brothers store is beginning to
wax warm.
The method employed for a
lady to get this piano is based in
the number of coupons she can
sell which entitle her to so many
votes and the person acquirelng
the coupons can trade them out
at Davidson Brothers store for
face value. The young lady who
is the most active in selling cou.
pons will of course procure the
most votes.
The votes as they stand are:
Ida Little 1910
Lillian Davidson 6S5
Iva Schirling 555
Nettie Critch6eld 500
Grace Read 70
The votes of each person enter
ing the race will be published
from week to week until Christ
mas time when the contest will

New Birch
Creek Road
Nearing
Completion.
WILL GREATLY INCREASE TRAVEL.

~ AA@A< " I'm - lINANEASE NA Ill
The new road that IS beng put
up the Birch Creek under the dir
ection of a committee from the
Commercial Club is nearing COM
pletion and before many days
travel will be along the new road
up the creek bed instead ofup the
mountain side and winding
around it as it has been ever
since this country was settled.
Mr. John Cau6eld has force
of men and teams at work and
has had them busy for the last
month and he is progressing rap
idly with the work. He is doing
some good work and the road
promises to be one Of the best
canyon roads III this section.
The course OF the road is also
very scenic and will furnish a
splendid summer resort for peo-
pie who desire a short outing
where they can get shade and at
the same time go hunting and
fishing.
Oweing to the passage being
impossible for loads heretofore
there has been little or no timber
taken from that source and it is
hoped that none of it will be TAX
en- out when the road opens.
In tact steps have already been
taken whereby the canyon and
side-hillS on each side will be set
aside for a park and anyone at
tempting to cut the green timber
which now adorn that stretch OF
country along each side for some
distance is liable to prosecution
tor cutting it out,
1t is the nearest point we have
where people can take their fam
lilies out for a ride, spend few
hours in the shade, enjoy their
picnic, do a little fishing and
hunting and return the same day
and it has been the intention of
those promoting the construction
of the road to have had it set
aside long ago but the matter
has been delayed till this late
date,
The value of this road as a
commercial feeder is apparent
and within a short time it's effect
will be telt as well as the conven-
ience to all travellers to the juno
tion ard beyond, and as drive
way it offers the greatest induce
lnents of any nearby roads.
1t will also shorten the distance
between here and Almo about
2.5 and also make it possible tor
large loads to be hauled to this
point for shipment or market,
The citizens OF this community
should follow the opening up OF
this road and see that the Auto
mobile highway that is in course
of construction in Utah and
headed for the Gem State should
be brought over this part of the
road, making it the most direct
route into the Gem State and al
the same time offering them a
road already constructed for sew
eral miles. an item of itself wher
the matter of building mountair
roads is taken into consideration
1t will furnish the shortest, most
scenic and direct route to Idaho.
