of their terms if they desire. When
they do resign, if they do at all, the
county commissioners will fill the va
cancies as they choose; and the inter
esting point will be, whether they will
choose along the lines of least resist
rectly to Richfeld on the matter,
though it is reasonable to expect that
if any one planned to get endorsements
for office growing out of county di-
vision, Richfeld should have been con-
suited because of her part in the divi-
sion vote. AS all the present county
officers but one, outside of the two com
missioners who are necessarily resi-
dents of other districts, now live in Sho-
shone, it is fair guess that some of
the outside townspeople will be given
show. A third appointment may also
be necessary, as E. S. Smith, the old
county surveyor, lives in Gooding coun
ty, and was named by the governor as
their new surveyor; though he has not
yet resigned from this county.
Later advices are to the effect that
whatever disposition there had been to
hold up the Minidoka appointments un-
til the possible Lincoln county vacan-
cies were arranged for, had been given
up; for the governor has appointed the
following list of officers for the new
county of Minidoka:
Commissioner F. Beymer, Ru-
pert; F. J. Marshall, Hillsdale; w. w.

Dried Potatoes Promise Well
German Process Makes Them Weather. Proof and of
Better Feed VaIue--An Industry That Looks
Good to Potato Gr0lOing Idaho.

Idaho farmers will be interested in
dried potatoes. Drying potatoes is a
new industry originated and developed
in Germany. 1t has already become of
great commercial Importance. In 1907
there were 118 factories in Germany
There are now 104 The dried potato
is used for stock food. Only the culls,
except when the bottom has dropped
out of the market, are used
There are two types of drying appa-
ratus on the market The one pro-
duces the so-called potato schnitzel, ,"
which is made into pieces about as
thick as a small lead pencil and dried
under very intense heat. The other
produces what is known as potato
''flocken" (fakes). In this latter
method the potatoes are first cooked
by steaming and then mashed and dried
by passing between hot rnllers heated
by steam. Since the rollers are placed
near one another, the mass passes be-
tween like sheet of paper. The heat
causes the mass to adhere to the ex-
terror walls of the rollers and the mo-
tion of the machine is so regulated
the substance is dried before the rollers
have half completed the revolution
Two knives on the outside of the roll
ers cut off the dried mass, which has a
bright yellowish-white appearance, a
good smell, and forms coarse sort of
potato meal

Strikes Affect Trade of London

London, June 2S.-(Special)-The trade
of the port of London suffered in BILE
first from the widespread railway strike
in August 1911, and later from the coal
strike in the early part of 1912. An indi-
cation of how greatly the trade OF the
port of London was disturbed by the rail-
way strike is the fact that in the four
months from April to July, 1911 there was
an increase of 323, 240 tons over the CORE
spending period of 1910, while there was a
decrease of 4S3, us tons in the business of
the port in August, 1911, as against Au-
gust, 1910. In the month of March, when
the coal strike was on, there was a de-
cline of 2Sl ,1S9 tons in the trade of the
port The fiscal year of the port of Lon
don authority ends on March 81 OF each
year.
The total net tonnage arriving and de-
parting with cargoes and in ballast from
and to foreign countries and British pos
sessions and coastwise during the year
which ended December 81, 1911, was 80, 49,
1853, as compared with 39,473,00l tons in
1910 In these figures what is known as
the Queensborough, trade is included. The
day and night service formerly MAIN
tained between Queensborough and Flush
ing. but as the night service has been
changed to Folkstone, the Queensborough
traffic was reduced last year by about
4OG, coo tons.

establishing a central receiving office to

the cars and later delivered by messengers
at stated times.
Anxiety is expressed in Birmingham as

feared that it may increase the tendency
of heavy industries to migrate to the sea-

firearms are tested, was established in

suggested as it was not necessary to show
large profit, there being no dividends

it was not opportune to give the gun

Paris, June &.-(Special)- l)-Criminals of
France are literally trembling in their

Countess Melusne, also known as Nine

According to Countess Melusine human

Countess Melusine says the idea first
occurred to her while reading the story
of Oedipus, a famous parricide, who bore
on his feet the stigma of the infamies
which he was to accomplish. Ever since

ness has buked larger during 1912-13l
than in any previous year in the coun-l
try's history, but profits were less in pro-
portion to the volume of transactions and
production.
There were several protracted periods

era, but never when as many men were
at work, more wages paid. more freight

classes of manufacture, and. though the
gross volume of trade has not suffered
greatly as yet, the net returns have

Reward on invested capital has steadily
diminished and progress in almost every
quarter has CONSTRUCTED or stopped. Ex

Everybody in the money world seems to
be in accord with the shop worn phrase

Preaching Higher Prices
1t is upon such hazy conditions that the
stock market bulls are preaching higher
prices In their language and literature
they figure that the worst Is over, or that
it has been discounted. In a very mod
crate way they act in accordance with
their theories, and the absorption OF
curities is rather better than for some
time past. 1t is not with hungry and
fearless spirit that they leap into the bat
tie, however Timidity and a certain feel
ing of distrust over the accuracy of the
position taken, is feature of bullish pre-
tension. Traders on that side do not deny
that they might develop higher speed on
the retreat than on the advance. Figur-
itively speaking, they are more likely to
run down hill than UP hill.
They try to make themselves believe
that stocks are safe purchase because
the surplus floating supply of securities
has been sold out. They lack convincing
facts in support of this claim. The rec

Chewing Gum Saved Her

Graham of Monte Nc, here related re-

The girl stumbled over a stone and fell

distance from the rattler, with it's mouth
wide open, ready to sink it's deadly fangs
into her cheek.
The young woman was chewing gum
and her fall caused 1t to fall out OF her
mouth, striking the snake squareiy in his

on it, and while the reptile was in this
position the girl sprang to her feet and

was battling Nelson who fixed the
maximum weight al that figure, and In
this he was copied by his successor
Ad WOIgast. Champions of former days
such as Layigne. Erne and Cans did
not draw the lines so tightly, and in
the absence of fixed rules covering
the matter of pOundage it has been
left TO the discretion of the holder OF
the title. Therefore the argument ad-
vanced by certain critics that a match
between Willie and Packey at a higher
scale than 1913 would not involve the
championship is out Of order
Mcfarland would be the most for
midabIe opponent that could be Sc
lected for the present champion He
representa- the highest what is" in
boxing science and bout between this
clever pair would be a great eXhib1-
ton of boxing skill and ring general
ship. Packey had Willie in his camp
for a while and recent ring history
shows that the latter prOfited by the
experience, but it is doubtful if he alb
sorbed sufficient knowledge of ring
craft to enable him to hold his own
with the master boxer
The champion has gone on record
that Packey is entitled to a match for
the title, and there's no getting back
of that.
Looks like it's up to Willie to make
good

Langford and Joe Jeanette goes

nOUnced that it showed a decided su-
periOrity.
The fight will mean a lot to Sam

he was not anything like the Jean

experts who believe he has gone back.
He win have to be at his very best

I am told that Mike Gibbons viii run
out on New Workers this fall and jour
ney instead to California to try his

roth and other western promoters have
long been trying to land the St Paul
man for some coast bouts. and I IN
derstand that Mike has finally con-
scented to take the trip and show the

Word comes to me from San Fran
cisco that Gibbons viii make his 20
round debut at COffroth's club some
time in September, and it is likely
that Bob McAllister, the Olympic club
graduate will be his opponent. I saw
McAllister box a few exhibition rounds
while out there last winter and he
looks like youth of much promise I

pounds and if the match is arranged
