An Ambitious Farmers Society
Society of Equity Proposes to Run Colossal National
Buying and Selling Organization.

Mr.. George E. Carpenter, represent
ing the Farmers Society of Equity, "
is in Richfeld this week, with the idea
of organizing the farmers into pur-
chasing and selling union to embrace
whole nation. The society already has
a strong hold in eastern Idaho, especial
ly among the potato growers around
Idaho Falls, where it is promising to be
great asset for rural prosperity. 1t
looks so good to the farmers here that
many of them are applying for mem
bership.

IT'S A GOOD BRIDGE.
Fine Section Line Road Across
COulee East of Town.

The big bridge across the coulee
east of town, has been finished and
the approach is graded up for regu-
lar traffic. The bridge has five
stone piers, about five feet in
height above the normal surface OF
the water, and the approach is all
graded up on both sd s to Almost
a level with the top of the
bridge. 1t is the most pretentions
Of all the bridges so far built on
the Richfield tract, and more dirt
was moved on building the grade
than in any other. So has been
the practice all over the tract, the
approaches are being graded up
level, SO that there is no steep
plunge TO get on or off of the
bridge. The bridge cost approx
mately 100000 with the grading.
M. E. Bailey spent Sunday in
photographing a number of bridges,
culverts and important grades and
fills out over the highway dis

pictures.

clarinets, and two d.ums. There
are already four inst uments in

COURTING DEATH.
Joy Riders Take Foolish Risks
On Railroad Crossings.

While actual statistics show
that only one and one-half per cent
of automobile accidents occur at
railway crossings, nevertheless
this one and one-half per cent is
so large that automobile asso@ la
tions are cooperat ng with the rail
ways to minimize the number and
bring about a greater exercise {
care on the part of pedeste- ians
and drivers of moor vehicles. In
making an effort to ascertain
wherein the responsibility for
crossing accidents might rest some
observations were recently made by
one of the railroads with Off
ces in San Francisco, and the state
ment of the results, involving 49,
522 motor vehie les, 4246 teams
and 1926 PEDESTRIANS, show that SO
per cent of the drivers of motor We
hicles took no precautions, what
ever, to prevent being struck at
crossings, Il per cent passing
at high rate of speed.
It Is pointed out by rail
way officiels that the millions nee
essary for added grade protection
weuid levy an extra toll on the
rate paid by shippers and pas
engers. There would be less nee
essity for this if more precautions
were taken by pedestrians and
drivers at the crossings.
The observations were made In
San Francisco, Lodi, Sacramento,
Stockton and Oakland, The to-
tai of the pedestrians and drivers
