An interesting little episode &C.
CURED the last OF last week, when
one of the McNully brCtnels south
west CT town ordered the sac
crush grubbeIs who were clearing
the roadway along the railroad,
through the MoNulty Ind, to leave
and never come back under penalty
of various dangers and serious re-
prisals. 1t appcaIs that Menu ty
nad never favored the road crcs-
sing his land, and at the present
time he figured that if he cod-d
Keep the commission from doing per
manent work there, it would S op
the road service altogether. The
commission, however, had already
gene to the county records and
found where the road had been pro
perly laid out and accepted as
public road, years ago; and besides
it has been used as highway for
thirty years, which was many years
before the McNulty filing was made.
No trouble is anticipated in show
ing the land owners that the road
is established beyond the possibility
Of its being moved or closed except
by the consent of the commissioners
and the county board.
If you want to work, or if you
know anyone else who wants to
work on the specially men
teams don't wait; come
or send them in, and there's work
as long as they stay.

EQUALIZE TAXES.
You'll Have To Hurry II You
Want Them Changed.

w. j. Taper went down to Sho-
Sncne, Sunday, to take his place as
lead Of the county board of equali-
saticn, which will be in session at
ne county seat until the 28th of
he month. They will be ready to
lear all complaints as to real estate
assessments, whether too high or
-c~ low, until the 2Sth After that
line, there can be no exemptions a.
owed or exemptions made for any
reason whatever; so all who have
omplaints to make had better make
1hem now. If there is any one
who does net know the assessed va
uation placed on his land, and he
believes it might be too high or too
cw, there is time to find out before
the commissioners close the books
against all appeal. In general, it
is believed that the valuations this
year have been exceptionally fair,
and that there will be very little
complaint for any reason whatso-
ever.
The commissioners will meet next
Monday in regular commiss :oners'
session, to consider bills and all
other forms of county business. This
week, they consider only the equa-
ization matters.

FIRST c. o. ID. PACKAGE.
Great Cut In Cost OF Postal Ser
vice Compared To Express.

4 Postmaster Reeves received his first
&c. 0. d. mail packages, Thursday of
this week. The new postoffice ruling
makes it possible for dealers or others
to send any kind of mailable packages
to its destination, with instructions to
the postmaster to collect on delivery,
the same as express companies do.
The fee is so much lower-on small
packages the total cost will not be one
half as great as the usual cost by ex-
press-that it is probable the service
will come to be almost universal. In
addition, there will be an office wher-
ever mail is received, which will make
two or three times as many Offices in
the whole United States as there are
railroad or express stations.

Way Across Arizona Desert.


Manager Kays of the Idaho Irriga-
ton company has already Travelled
more than $500 miles in his new
Ford car, and he expects to make
it close to 10000 before the year
is out. The car is light and re-
liable, and can go anywhere
horse can go-except into a river
where the horse could swim and the
car couldn't. A better car for real
use would be hard to get.

As the road commission gets the
roads worked into coed shape, bridg-
ing all the coulees and bitches and
leveling down some of the abrupt
little pitches in the present roads,
it is believed that there will be a
big sale for light autos on the Rich

will there be uniformly better roads

The most startling news announce
ment of the week is that which cam
out in the afternoon dailies of Mon
day, saying that the great financial
firm OF j. S. and W. S. Kuhn had
failed, and that the banks and 9TH
er enterprises OF the company had
closed their doors.
Ihe company had it's general head
quarters IN tit.sDurs, wh~re 1t
wius in control of the Fist Second
National bank Of Pjetsburg, rated as
one OF the strongest in the count y.
AN examination OF the bank affairs
by the national bank examiner, show
cd that it would be necessary to
close in order to adjust some of the
business OF the concern Along with
the bank, seems to go all the enter
prises CT the Iirm. The Am srican

pany, ho-ding and operating wafer
works in sores of cities of the
United States, is affected, as VIII
be also the Great Shoshone power
company, and all the irrigation en-
terprises of the company, in Idaho,
California and elsewhere. 1t is be-
lieved that the embarrassment VIII
be only temporary, and that the
great empire builders will be aDle
to regain their standing
An interesting side light is the
comment from sources that may be
regarded as especially wei in o. M
ed, that some Of this may be due to
the activities of the General Eleo-
tric company, or the Power trust"
This company is not believed 10 be
in any way associated with the

ties in Idaho have been sold, save
the part still heeld by the Kuhns

their personal investments; and the
failure of the Kuhns would not af-

Reb Russell had little luck Satur-

his record for the week stand at
three victories, which is quite some
work for one man, especially if he
is pitching for the White Sox. Reb

style.
Ping Bodie made the star play that
pulled the game out for the SoX.

doubled to Pings territory, and the
Italian, by fast work and a perfect
relay to Weaver, nailed the tieing run
at the plate. If Bodie was half as
fast on the bases as he is in the field
he would be good enough for regular
duty.
To date the Sox have won six
games and lost seven on the Eastern
trip, finishing strong after a disas-

teams. Washington and the Athletics
have been soft for the South Siders.

that's Connie Mack, winner of four
American League and two worlds
pennants, manager and part owner
Of the Athletics, who 20 years ago
quit shoe making at HaverhiIl, Mass,
to play ball.
Connie Mack is worth perhaps a
quarter Of a million, and he made it
out of baseball, saving and investing
his money.
Mack went into baseball because
he loved the game. He is a success
through his ability to judge and han
die men, because of his far-sighted-
ness and Unerring judgment, backed
by hard work. He required no pull.
He had ability.
Mack was % when he quit making
shoes. His first baseball job was as
catcher with a Connecticut club
which sold him to Washington. He
went next to Pittsburgh. For nine
years Mack played in the National
and he was in the Brotherhood for
a year.
Mack bought his release from
Pittsburgh, counting his 10 years a

He signed to manage Milwaukee,
