SUBMITS FIGURES
ON NORTH ROAD
FINDS NEW PETITIONED ROAD
WILL COST LESS THAN FOR
MER SURVEYED ROAD

While in the city the first of the
week, W. o. Zeigler, who lives on the
North Shoshone tract, stated that he
now has estimates from the surveyor
on the cost of the proposed road north
from Shoshone on the half section line
and that the road on this line will cost
nearly three thousand dollars less than
If run on the section line west OF town
as first suggested
According to Mr.. Zeigier the Hne duo
north of town furnishes q better road
bed, Is nearer, being practically a d.
rect line, with fewer grades than tho
old road The steepest grade on the half
section line Is five per cent with the
slope this way, making 1t easy for the
ranchers to haul big loads to town.
There Is also saving in expense In
bridging the Big Wood on the half sec
fion line over the old road. also on the
north road the Little Wood river al
ready has a bridge here in town while
the other way q bridge would have to
be built across the Little Wood or the
present bridge across Big Wood moved
and new one put in its stead.
While a number of the citizens are
arguing for one or another Of the new
lines. others suggest that the most przc-
tical way would be to put the present
roau in first class condition and let IL
go at that. While the old road is a
little longer than either OF the new
lines, it could be put in first class shape
for much less money than it will take
to open a new line.
We all want the road that will give
the greatest benefit to the most people
with the least expense and the commits
sioners who have the final say are as
much interested as any and will do
what seems best for all concerned.

In Lincoln county there is local
fight greater than the presidency 1t is
the desire for county division and the
establishment of two new county seats,
and the building of two new court
houses. Why not make the divisions
smaller and give RichfieId and Minidoka
and Rupert and Wendell a court house?
If three court houses are good for the
people, why not make a more generous
distribution of the good things?
The biography of Victor Johnsons
oratory in the Gooding Herald was a
classic. There are pointers in it from
which "Our Victor may gather food
for Improvement in his style.
The system of politics introduced into
this campaign by TAFT and Roosevelt
would make old Abe blush for the part
he founded.

opinion with bayonets. The present
political squabble is an opinion with the
ballot.

says: Roosevelt got into the game too
late"
Really now, what have you figured
out would be your loss if both Bill and
Theodore were defeated at the conven-
ton and our Bill Borah were placed at
the top of the main mast?
The Eastern press have for once dis
covered that there is power in the
west. The support many of the great
dailies are giving Borah is unaccount-
able on any other ground than that he
is the man Of the hour.

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN FUND
 WHEN AND HOW SECURED

As there are many democrats in last election, the following from the amounts to the party success in the Arizona who contributed in varying
 Washington Post analyzing the na tional fund and the sources from which it was received will be interest. ing to Review readers:
 lt cost the democratic party slightly over Sl.lOO,000 to elect Woodrow Wilson president of the United States This expense vas borne by 91.O0O persons. who contributed in varying amounts to the popular campaign fund
 These Cwo remarkable facts will Be sho'fn in a statement soon to be filed with the clerk of the house ot representatives by Rolla Wells of St Louis, trustee The law allows 30 days after the election for campaign com mittees and candidates 10 file state ments or tbeir receipts and eXpendi lures. The democrats will not use all that time for Treasurer Wells now on his way to St Louis from New York. stated that the books we're Drac tically haIanced A surplus. in favoi of the committee has developed. and this is another strange thing in con committees.
 Although no accgrate public record has ever been kept before, men who have led in the work of political naT- ties state that there has been no sUc' ccssful campaign in recent year. that
 cost so little as the one just con cluded by the democrats. Likewise, and this fact also remains TndispIIed. the expense of no campaign for the presidency has ever been participated in by so many contributors,
 The idea of a popular campaign fund was first put into operation four wears ago in Mr. Bryan's contest. Then, it is estimated. something like g, 900 individuals contributed. Up 70 that time it had been the custom for a comparatively small number of pa triotic party men to finance the cam paigns Of both parties. Perhaps before 1908 never had as many as 1000 per sons donated to pay the expenses Ji a presidential aspirant.
 The bulk of the Wilson fund, the records of the committee show was received in contributions of from Sl to $1O. The largest single subscriD- ton was that Of Charles R. Crane, or Chicago, who gave S40.000. Cleveland R. Dodge, of New York. gave S55.o0o.
 Only a few contributions of more than $1O.O0O were received. Less than 2.50O contributions went over the S100 mark.
 New York led all the states in the aggregate amount subscribed, with S356. .OG0. Illinois came second, With S124.O0O. Then in order came Penn sylvania and Texas.
 The aggregate amount sent in by the DisU jet Of Columbia democrats was Sg.JS0.
 The Wilson managers declare that not one penny Of their fund was talk en from a corporation, and that no money was taken from private par ties. + an ulteriOr purpose in giving was suspected. This was in accord ance with a stipulation by Governor Wilson himself, made at Seagirt dur ing the first meeting there Of his cam paign managers The governor asked
