HALF DOZEN WILL
BUY AUTOMOBILES
THOSE WHO KNOW SAY A SCORE
OF NEW MACHINES WILL BE
SOLD HERE NEXT YEAR.

Shoshone has never had such an
automobile fever as possesses the
town right now. It is traceable to the
era OF improved roads inaugurated by
Fred Gooding and his associates Wal
lace and Newman. lin the formation OF
the Shoshone highway district. where
they are to provide a network of smooth
roads in this part of Lincoln County.
Eighty thousand dollars will be spent
in these improvements right away and
every dollar of the fund is to be made
to tell
The first piece OF road to be tackled
was out across the lava beds lying
between this town and the Big Wood.
a stretch of something like four miles
of the most forbidding road to be
imagined anywhere. NJ. L. Kidwell with
his force OF powder men and Joe
Wheeler with a larger force OF general
Iaborers and teams are putting the
finishing touches TO put this road into
likely shape Any how the automobile
buyers have seen enough TO know that
Shoshone Is to have some good roads
at the hands of Gooding. Wallace and
Newman. so they have ordered half
dozen machines In a bunch to come in a
carload lot early in the Spring. Among
the buyers are Matt McFaii. Gus
Keefer, Gilbert White. Ben Darrsh. DR..
Baugh, W. C. Custer, Sheriff zug and
Rev NJ. Pratt, with several other pros
pective buyers in sight for the enter
prising salesman for the machines that
are in favor here.
Those who know say that fully
score of new machines win be owned In
shoshone by the first Of April.

MEAT WAR TOO
IS NOW RAGING
SHORTAGE OF CATTLE, BUT RIVALS
m SPOKANE BUSINESS CUT
PRICES THE SAME.

Cattlemen throughout Idaho are VT
ally interested in big meat war which
is in progress in Seattle. One Of the big
packing houses of that city introduced
retail markets and began cutting ths
price Of meat. believing that by so
doing they could not only reduce tbs
cost OF living but at the same time ma
terially increase the consumption
Independent butchers tried to make
the packing house cut out its retail
markets: the packing house refused
with the result that the meat war be-
gun. On account of the high price Of
beef in the eastern market last summer
and fan there has been created in the
Northwest a scarcity Of cattle: cattle
which would have ordinarily come to
the western market went cart. There
are not enough cattle to go around. The
prediction is made that with in few
months local retailers will be compeilea
to pay a far bigger price for their cat
tie than were paid by the eastern dealers
a few months ago. Certainly the meat
a few weeks ago was selling for twenty
reduced the cost of living. Meat whic,
a few weeks ago was selling for twenty
md twenty-five cents a pound can now
be had for ten, fifteen and twenty cents
Never in the history of the city has so
much meat been sold as during the past
two weeks There is no Indication that
the war viii soon end; on the contrary
there is every Indication that It viii
continue FOR six months.

HUNTERS FOR DUCKS
ON HUNT FOR MEN
HALF A NIGHT SPENT ON THE
DESERT IN CURTIS
LAKE COUNTRY.

Jere Purdum took out a party of
duck hunters to Curtis Lake Monday
morning. There Xere four of them. the
others being Messrs Wilmington.
Franknen and Ferrier. The lake being
hard frozen. no game was In sight. so
the hunters sought a slough, that Is
two of them did, while the other two.
Wilmington and Frankneli. drove the
team around TO an appointed place of
meeting. Instructions were misunder-
stood. for the separated hunters were
still separated when night came on. two
wandering around on the desert and two
driving into town and back out to the
original meeting place again In the
middle OF the night. Coming back the
second time the latter found their lost
safe home at last. There
has been some artful lodging ever
since on the part OF two OF the valiant
hunter men. so the other two hunter
men say. The hazy appearance in the
air Tuesday morning is
said to be traceable directly to the lang
uage used out on the desert the night
before.

When asked regarding who should

In this connection there are many
Of the Progresives who are talking
harmony in the Republican party, but
they are also tacking a condition onto
the harmony program. Some of them
think that Governor elect Haines
should appoint several prominent
Progresives to office under him TO
show that he desires harmony in the
party. They give no reason why these
appointments should be made other
than it would bring harmony.
Think Consultation Enough.
Republicans have been pointing out
to the many Progressives who think
that they should receive recognition
at the hands OF the governor that
they did not contribute to the election
of the Republican ticket. but that
they were against it during the cam

surprised yesterday to learn that the
