BURNED TO GROUND
FLAMES CONSUMED BUILDING AT
POCATELLO ENTAlLING LOSS
OF S25o, o,ooo-REBUiLOlNG.

The Oregon Short Line car shops at
Pocatello burned to the ground Monday
afternoon. entailing a loss of more than
;250.00O The fire was discovered at 5
o'clock and owing to the highly inflam-
rnable contents of the building spread
rapidly and was beyond control before
the fire department could reach the
scene. This shop, which was built three
year ago. was a building 60x150 feet and
contained thousands Of feet of finishing
wood of great value besides machinery,
tools. ciis and paints. It was located
Just north Of the big machine shops in
the wye, but the department aided by
strong and favorable wind confined the
flames to the structure in which they
started.
Hundreds Of people lined the via
duct and watched the magnificent
spectacle of the flames which shot
sIyward for 200 feet. Local heads of
departments state that rebuilding will
commence at once.

BUSINESS MEN
ARE BEHIND TAFT
NEY ON VISIT TO BOlSE-PROS-
Porous TIMES.

Attorney Frank T. Disney returned
from Boise Wednesday morning. after
spending several days on professional
business at the Capital. Mr. Disney is
quoted by the Statesman as giving
cheering news of his home County both
as to the political outlook for the Repub-
ieans and for the County's solid and
substantial business growth
Il feel safe in saying. ''he declared -
that President Taft will carry Lincoln
County by majority of 500 votes
Similar majorities will be given all the
members Of the Republican state ticket
The business conditions in Lincoln
County has been all that could be de-
sired FOR the past few years. Our people
are prospering, and have no complaint.
ana there is a general realization that
IL is not wise to make a change during
a prosperous time. The Taft sentiment
mas been growing very rapidly in our
county for the past few weeks and the
business men of the various towns in
Lincoln County are actively supporting
Mr.. Taft, and exerting their Influence TO
carry the County for him."

THE CAREY ACT SETTLERS AND
POLITICS.

The Democratic politicians seems to
flsure tlat the greatest lot of ehi4mps
In Idaho are the settlers on the Carey
Act lands They forget that these
Carey Act settlers are among the most
cultured, refined and educated people
OF any agricultural tract in the world
and as such they are by no means the
necessary prey of Idaho Democracy.
The fact that settlers on irrigation
projects must OF necessity learn
work together for a common interest
more that other farmers makes a
tempting bait for the politician who
hopes to profit by playing up the woes
OF the settlers and posing as their
friend at court, with hope of stamp
eding the whole organization into his
own political camp.
Two years ago Governor Havlev
made his campaign on the strength of
the charges Of misconduct on the part
of the land board and the mismanage-
ment of the Carey Act lands. That
the charges he made at that time for
the purpose of boosting his political
fortunes have reacted to the detri- /
nient of the whole State to the extent /
Of untold millions Of dollars is mat
ter Of common knowledge. That he
has not done single act for the set
tier that any other man in his position
would have of necessity have done is
also matter Of every day knowledge
Not that Mr. Hawley lacked the de-
sire to do what he promised in his
to do but that he lacked that /
)ower and authority to do these things
md that most OF them would hay
been unwise had he done them is as
rue as the other facts connected with
lis administration
The Carey Act settlers are capable
# doing their own thinking on poiiti-
al matters and it is not necessary
hat the Democratic party select a Sc
ret ticket of mixed candidates and
e the only true friend of the Carey
vet settler.

ELECTION RETURNS
ON TUESDAY NIGHT
BAUGH'S OPERA HOUSE ENGAGED
FOR ANNOUNCEMENT OF RE
SUITS, FAR AND NEAR,

Messrs. Bert Bowler and Paul S. Had
dock are the moving spirits in securing
for Shoshone complete election returns
having engaged the Baugh opera house
for the occasion and arranged for the
telegraph service during the night The
house is to be heated and lighted and
the returns will be read as received over
the wires. Admission for ladies' will be
without charge but men are expected
to pay for the service to the extent of
one dollar for each admission to the
floor. Not only from the country at
large will the results be given but from
the County and State as well and no
place in the country will likely be better
served with the returns than Shoshone.
Short Idne Agent Whitenack has
made arrangements for the service and
Chief Operator D. L. Hughes will have
charge of handling the messages during
the night.

IN MIDST OF THE
CHINESE REVOLT
REV. Mr.. BRADSHAW AND FAMILY
ON FAREWELL VISIT
HOME.

Rev. F. j. Bradshaw and family are
paying a farewell visit to relatives here
before returning to West China as miss
ionarles. 1t was in this province that
the present Chinese revolution broke
out and it is so far from the seat OF
government that some time has been re-
quired to restore order.
Mrs Willard H. Roots had not seen
her sister, Mrs. Bradshaw, for eight
years until this visit and it may be as
long again before they see each other.
The uplift given the common people
of China by these missionaries alone
explains the miraculous transformation
Of the stagnant empire into the pro-
republic now knocking for
recognition at the doors Of our great

TWIN FALLS MEN REPUDiATE

Down in Twin Falls County the
Democrats nominated a third party
ticket without first going through the
preliminaries of asking the prospec-
tive candidates if they would enter
the contest. When the ticket was an
nounced there was a storm of pro-
test from the candidates named, and
it was only a short time until it was
learned that the Democrats had sec
reilly named the ticket and placed it
in the field

ELECTION BALLOTS
DELIVERED BY
THE TON
1T WAS A BIG JOB FOR CLERK
ANDERSON AS WELL AS THE
PRINTERS.

County Auditor Harry w. Ander-
son and Deputy John H. Helman have
spent the better part of this week and
two days of last week in the delivery
of the election ballots and other para
pherfIalia for the voting to take place
next Tuesday,. The whole mass of
printed matter weighed upwards of a
ton. the ballots itself being a blanket
affair a great deal bigger than one page
of this paper. BESIDES these there we're
the special ballots for the Constitutional
amendments, which are more than p
foot square.
In the work of delivery the greatest
care was taken that none of the ball
lots go amis Helman travelled a hum
dred miles the first day that he was
out and Anderson perhaps far, mostl
of the distance covered by these Off
Gals being made by horse vehicles. In
one case, that of the Clear Lake de-
livery the bundle had to be sent to-
Bull, in Twin Falls County. to reach
its destination. The Clerk required a
receipt signed by two of the election
judges for the supplies for every pre-
cinct in Lincoln County.
There were five routes of delivery.
one from Bliss. one from Minidoka, one
from Wendell. one from Jerome and one
from Richfield
The presses of Melvin and Son, who
did the work for other counties besides
Lincoln were kept running night and
day to get the ballots out on time.
MIR Anderson did not return from his
rounds until Wednesday evening. having |
visited all the southeastern section of
the county. For two days he drove in |
the rain. From Jerome he delivered the /
ballots for all the southern part of the |
county. Everywhere he found manifest |
evidence OF prosperity among the new
settlers In increasing acerages brought |
under cultivation and put to profitable |
crops. On the Bert Perrine ranch, two
and half miles from Jerome. ne found
q hundred and sixty acres Just put into
apples. all being fenced with antirabbit
wire which is nailed to growing posts in
the shape of poplar trees all around the
tract.

All records for continuous rainfall

according to Edward L. Wells. director
Of the Boise office of the government
weather bureau
a total of 153 inches was recorded

''The nearest mark for continuous

Wells yesterday was recorded in
October of 1911 when in a single day
lSs inches fell. The storm of sunday

THE NEW AND THE OLD.

MANY careful taxpayers have been
indulging in caustic criticism of the
tax levy for 1922 says the HALEY
Times and thar paper cites the fact
that the levy for Blaine county last year
was SiS2 on the 500. that hundred
being the actual value of the property.
Inc new assessment based on 40 per
cent of the valuation, mind YOU, is 1915
on the 500. That is according to Jim
tawley's fool idea Of fun cash valuation
without an equitable levy. Compare
your own tax receipts and the new
levy and see what you get as a result
from his fine discrimination against the
taxpayer. Here and there may be
slight reduction but in 80 per cent of the
cases in Idaho there is am increase and
that without reason or Justification

that the debt on Hepburn Park has not
