If the plans of a number of our

fer it is the intention to have a
general cleanup at that time when
the highways and byways. the yards
and the hedges from one end of tha
town to the other viii have atten-

will be brought into service after
a long period of Inactivity and
every nook and corner will be

Faithfully the People Of Idaho.

When Senator Brady's attention
was called Saturday to Frank R.
Goodings recent announcement OF
his candidacy for the United States
senate he said: Political discus
son in Idaho on certain occasions
tends more to language than ideas,
with the result that politicians some

Everyday citizens, blessed with more
common sense and practical know

going to be misled or deceived by
statements of any candidate for the
United States senate who lays claim
to all the virtues and attributes
to others all the vices of public life.
"In a political campaign the prof
lens to be solved are those of COM

be discussed by candidates for office

the things people are interested in

AMERICAN FALLS TO BE
THOROUGHLY CLEANED

eeived from the members OF the
Syringa club asking that a day be
designated for the general cleaning
up of the town, the club ladies
giving assurance that they would
do all in their power to make the
occasion a success. The request
was granted and Saturday. Nov.
IS, was designated a cleanup day
by the mayor and council, and it
was also voted to provide teams at
city expense TO haul away the rub
bish after it was gathered into piles.
If the people generally will take
hold of the proposition with as much
enthusiasm as it has been started
American Falls will indeed be a
clean city.

There is no organization of great
er Importance, and none that con-
tribute to the welIbeing OF any
community to a greater extent than
does its musical organizations, and
in this respect there is every
promise that American Falls is go
ing to be very fortunate, in fact
is fortunate in having a band and
orchestra that win soon rank with
the best in this part OF the country.
After three or four unsuccessful
attempts to get a band started. the
boys finally got together just be-
tore the fair. and through their
Efforts that event was made one OF
the best that has ever been held
here. In fact there was no other
feature that afforded anything like
the same amount of entertainment.
And now we have an orchestra
which is rapidly becoming the popu-
lar entertainment feature at the
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1913-11-06

fully and basing estimates on the
very best information obtainable,
it was found that it will take fully
SIPS, 100000 to carry through the
proposed work, including the coun-
tvs proportion of the state high
way which is something like $22,-
600, and also a good steel bridge
across Snake river which will cost
in the neighborhood of 100000.
The date has not yet been def
nitely set for holding the cleo
ton but it is thought that if every
thing can be got in readiness the
date will be fixed for Tuesday jan
uary 6, 1914. If the question car
ries this will allow ample time to
sell the bonds and have the money
available to commence work as soon
as weather conditions will permit in
the spring.
The commissioners will meet
again on Monday, Nov. IT, and tha
time the date for holding the
election will be determined and all
information as to routes of the pro-
posed roads, etc, will be made pub
I lie. After that the whole question
as to whether or not we are to have
system of good roads will be UP
to the people themselves.

The important question with
which the county commissioners
dealt at the meeting held Tuesday
and Wednesday was that of submit
ting to the voters of the county.
the question whether or not the
county shall be bonded for the pur-
pose of building good roads. The
commissioners were all in favor of
the good road movement but hesi-
tated to undertake a task Of
such proportions, even to the ex-
tent of calling an election, without
first getting some idea of the senti-
ment of the people in general, so
the meeting of a week ago was post
poned and in the meantime these
officials made it point to ascer-
tain how he taxpayers of their re-
spective districts felt. 1t was
learned that a very large proper
ton of the taxpayers favor the good
roads movement and when the COM
missioners met Tuesday they took
up the work of ascertaining how
much money would have to be
raised in order to provide first
class trunk lines to all the thick
'~ly settled portions of the county.
