HILL BUYS LINCOLN
COUNTY RAILROAD

The operations Of the Hill inter-
ests in Idaho railroad building con-
firmed by a report Of the sale of
the Idaho Southern to the Hills.
This sale took place last week, and
carries with it the transfer of the
two pieces of road, one from Good
ing to Jerome and the other from
Miner to Oakley, designed as a con-
Meeting link for the extention OF
the Western Pacific, which really is
a Hill road, from Wells, New, to
this section of Idaho. In turn
there would be built Northern
connection, probably through the
Salmon, to which point the Hill
lines already extend.
The building of i20 miles OF road
TO fill gaps would put the Western
Pacific trains into Gooding. and it
would be a short shift to make the
Northern connections mentioned to
give the Hill forces direct access
TO San Francisco Bay.
Yes, there are great things ahead
Tor this Southern Idaho country.
In this connection it is signifi-
,ent that f. C. Bush, general pass
niger agent of the Idaho Southern,
vill leave very soon for Alabama,
where he becomes a travelling pass
niger agent for the Chicago and |
new line from st.
.ouis to Birmingham.

HOW CANDIDATES
SPENT THEIR COIN

The Lincoln County candidates al
filed their expense accounts within
the time limit prescribed by law,
with the exception of one. The
figures show that money did not
control the result, for some of the
losers were the heaviest spenders.
This was notably the case with
Sutherland and Zug, who were the
Republican candidates for Sheriff.
Sutherland reported his expendi-
lures at 1920, while Zug scatter

RECREATION FOR
SHEEP HEROERS

Our Spanish fellow citizens are
among the most interprising of all
the townspeople as indicated III the
present building operations in Sho-
shone. One large stone structure
of basement and two stories. with
ground plan 80 by 81 feet. to be
occupied as a roOming house ex-
clusively for that race of people,
and another building about 80 by
100 feet towering up like a grain
elevator are among the new build
ings the Spaniards are erecting
here now. The latter structure is
designed as a recreation OF hand
ball hall OF court and is being fin
ished with that end in view. Like
the rooming house it is substan-
tial structure. Domingo Fabla is
the owner. There was already an
other building of the same sort in
town. but the new place will doubt
less enhance the popularity Of the
games that the Spanlards espee-
tally take to, which always include
hand ball. Michel Gallo is the own
er of the new rOoming house.
Every year sees the Spanish col
ony in Shoshone increased. The

in the winter season, when the

there are several hundred of the

as dependable and trustworthy peo-
pie. and are known as Basques but
their language is Spanish.

Concord, N. H., Dec. 30.-When tne
New Hampshire legislature assemblies
day after tomorrow. the lawmakers
will face one of the most puzzling SIT
nations in the history of the state. AS
soon as they have organized for busi-
ness they will be called upon to select
a governor to succeed Governor ROD
ert P. Bass, whose term is about 10
expire. In the November election none
of the candidates for governor polleo
tho majority vote as required under
the constitution, and the choice oil the
governor therefore devolves upon the
legislature. In addition to selecting
governor the Legislature will name
United States senator to succeed
Senator Burnham, whose term VIII
end next March.
Whether Democrats or Republicans
will be selected for the two high OIL
fees to be filled by the legislature IS
a matter that cannot be foretold with
certainty. The legislature is appar-
emily Republican by narrow margin
The Progressives, however, claim Tor
ty-one of the Republican members, and
are pledged to act independently. This
gives them the balance Of control, and
leaves the result in doubt.
The senatorship is the problem IN
which most interest is manifest. The
ayowed Republican candidates are

governor AND SENATOR

former Governor Henry B.. Quinby
and Rosecrans w. Pillsbury, editor of
the Manchester Union. Henry E. Hol-
lis and Clarence e. Carr are the Dem
ocratic candidates for the senatorial
toga. Governor Robert F. Bass is re-
garded as receptive Progressive can
didate. Many look for deadlock over
the senatorship.
The problem of the governorship is
expected to present fewer difficulties
in it's solution. In the election of No
vember 5 the Democrats made sweep
ing gains and all but succeeded in
landing their candidate for governor,
Samuel d. Felker of Rochester. Mr..
Felker had a substantial plurality, but
under the constitutional provision re-
curing a majority of the votes the
election was thrown into the legisla-
ture. In making their selection, the
lawmakers will be required to vote
for one OF the two leading candidates
at the election, Felker, Democrat, or
Franklin, Rochester, Republican. AS
Felker received the plurality of the
votes cast at the election it is believed
that many of the Progressives will
feel it their duty to vote for him. Gov
ernor Bass. leader of the Progressive
Republicans, has gone on record az
favoring Felker over Worcester, the
choice of the regular Republicans.
