Money for the Road Bonds
Commissioners Hope to Have Funds to Ca ny Or
Work Within the Next Thirty Days.

The commissioners of the Richfeld Highway Dis
rct expect to have the money for the $50 coo bond IS
sue here ready for use within month. Because of
the district having been in organized existence less than
year. there extra amount of red tape Appar-
emily everything is Strengthened out is working
along nicely, and the money should be here soon.
The Recorder earnestly desiring to help this good
road movement along, suggests that there is ideal
way to investigate the roads and where they need
fixing. That is, to charter big auto, with not-too
soft cushions and reckless driver and start out to
the whole of the district in day They'll find the
bumpsl Yes, and these bumps will look far more inn
porant and deadly than if seen foot or horseback
from buggy. You KNOW what kind Off road you
have after you 60 over it full tilt with auto!
Farm work has opened up, but SO late that only
few of the farmers could work the road at this time
Pfobably there will be enough of them ready by the
time the money comes and the plans completed for
doing the work
1t will doubtless be remembered that the good peo-
pie of Richfed organized the highway district with but
two dissenting votes and voted for the $4,000 bond
ISSUE 1913 to q both these votes being the best
cord in the state. There is progressive COM
munity in Idaho.
The commissioners have spent many days working on
road plans for the district.

Salt Lake Plans for Frontier
Show De Luxe.

Salt Lake is advertising THE
Stampede" western sports carni-

to be held July 4 to 10 of this
year. 1t is promised to be one of
the biggest things Of the kind ever
held in the country. The great sue

eclipse both of these famous shows,
by Offering more money, a bigger

to visit the famous Salt Lake City
1t is the first of this class of shows
that has ever been held within reach
Of this part Of Idaho, and a large

Goodbye to RichfieId.

lett Monday for their new home at
Homedale, near Caldwell. They
have the best wishes of all who
knew them here. They had not ex-
pected to go until Tuesday but got
their packing done up earlier, SO
that the longer stay, with all their
goods hid away in boxes, would have
been burdensome rather than other
wise. DR.. Reynolds mother. who has
been living with them, had the mis-
fortune to fall one night last week

feared she would not be able to
go with them for some days; but
the injury proved to be less ser
ious than feared, and all went to-
gether.

One of the matters for the gossips oi
Washington is the alleged probable
break between President Wilson anc
Secretary of State Bryan. There are
several million people, both friends anc
enemies, who believe in the ability and
tact of the Nebraskan as at least the
equal of the presidents; and doubtless
they will feel, as Bryan is said to feel,
that the presidents unheard-of inter-
vention in matters belonging to his de-
partment-like the Chinese loan and the
California alien land LAWS anywhere
between thoughtless lapse of courtesy
and boorish, wanton insult. The aw-
full Theodorus the Great never did so
rawly, say the critics, and he was the
acme of awfulness for the thin-skinned
critics. Back of the presidents action
some have professed to believe they
see the shadow of the next presidential
campaign. Bryan is an ardent advo-
cate of the one-term idea; and on this,
if on nothing else, it is alleged they are
certain to part.

Modest Arbor Day exercises were
held in the Richfield schools, Friday
afternoon. Part Of the regular class
work was disposed of. after which each
grade gave its own appropriate class
exercises and planted some shrub or

house grounds need some more grading,
and then should be sown to grass, but
even the few Arbor Day shrubs are a
decided improvement.

she infused new life and beauty. Easily
the gem Of the concert was her superb

it seemed a new and ideal Interpretation.

element of novelty. was Nine. Nordica' s
old favorite, Der Erlkonig.'' But
a series of delightful numbers, as varied
as a mammoth bouquet and all of them
bearing the stamp of real artistry.
Mr.. Rummel was more than a surprise
as virtuoso. Graceful in execution he
played his eight numbers, with two en-
cores, in masterful manner, his Sarasate
selections, particularly the Introduction
and Tarantele,' exhibiting richness of
tone, Intelligent and sympathetic inter-
probation and splendid technique. His
"Orientale," by Cui was also a beautiful
number splendidly played.
Mr.. Simons' accompaniment were ideal
and that to der Erlkonis'' was excep-
tionally brilliant and won warm recogni-
ton by the audience as well as by Nine

in the applause.

immigration bill, including an flliteracy
test for aliens. was passed by the House
yesterday afternoon. Every stage of the
conference report was opposed vigorous
~, and much of the six hours was occu-

The fight against the measure centered
on the provision which would exclude
subjects of countries issuing certificates
of character. when the immigrants fail
to present such certificates. Representa-
tives Lenroot of Wisconsin, SABBATH of
Illinois and Moore of Pennsylvania con-
tended that by this provision any coun-
try might keep citizens from entering
the United States by refusing them GER
tificates of character.
