business that the business might be-
come a part and parcel of the com
nn1lnity. To this end at the close of
the meeting the advisory board con-
sisting of four managers from sepa-
rate sections were chosen. This con-
sulting board WILL in conjunction

SUIT FOR AUTOMOBILE DE5T
RESULTS IN HUNG JURY

Ross & Brown, who are automobile
dealers at Walla-W -Walla, spent the bet
ter part of the week in Shoshone pros
ecuting a lawsuit against O. NJ Har-
ness. The suit involved part of the
purchase price of an automobile sold
to Harness in 1912. his bank credits
having been attached in an endeavor
by the plaintiffs to get their money.
Similar endeavors have been made by
others frcm time to time TO extract
money from the same defendant, but
all came to naught from the fact that
his assets have been carried here in
the name of others. Harness has
heretofore operated shows at upward
of a score of different towns in Ore
gon, Washington. California and Ida
ho, according to the reports that have
followed him here.
The Ross & Brown suit came up be-
fore the Probate Court yesterday
morning. the plaintiff being repre-
sented by Johnson and Haddock and
the defendant by J. R. Boutwell,.
The jury sitting in the case was
unable to agree and the matter was
settled out of court. Bert Bowler,
Capt. Phillips, Bert Rhine, Lynn La
Munyon. George Campbell and Will
lard Fields made up the jury.
Defendant claimed allowances that
caused the dispute.

SHARK SERVED AS HALIBUT.
Special Fish Train from the Coast is
Called "Shark Special"
lHerald-Repuhlican.l

Jenten season affects the railroads
as it does every other business, adding
TO railroad traffic. To supply the de-
mand for fish in the states of Utah,
Idaho. wyoming, Montana and east
ern Oregon and washington the Union
Pacific system has put on the SHARK
Special." which runs two days each
week east from Portland Fish OF all
kinds and descriptions are carried on
this train. The canned variety of sal
mon and "French" sardines are placed
in cars with the staple halibut. AS
there is well defined rumor current
on the north Pacific coast that fisher
men off the Columbia river bar and IN
Alaskan waters are not too particular
al to the pedigree of the halibut they
catch. the train has been named the
"Shark." 1t is said in whispers OF
course that many times young and
tender man eating shark find their
way into the "unsopriscated" inland
conntrv under the label of halibut.
The train is run as second section
of the fast mail in order to carry fresh
fish to the inland markets. The de-
mand for fish during the Lenten sea
son is so great that the large orders
cannot be carried on regular trains.

ROY JONES VICTIM OF
DEMOCRATIC FACTIONS.

of Thomas B. Martin to be United
States marshal for Idaho. This was
the place selected for Roy Jones. ac-
cording to the plans of the Hawley

JUDGE WALTERS
TO LEAVE BENCH
TWO TERMS HAS MADE sHo-
SHONE MAN POPULAR WITH
LAWYERS AND OTHER CITl-
ZENS.

TWIN FALLS, March 1S.-Judge E.
A Walters will not be candidate to
succeed himself at the coming election.
His positive statement to this affect
was made to the Times on the occa-
sion of his recent visit to Twin Falls.
While the matter has been under ad-
visement for several weeks, the gem
ial Judge did not make up his mind
to desert the bench until the past
week. AS the senior member of the
Fourth District Judiciary. Judge
Walters could without question have
another term without opposition, so
satisfactory has his qualification for
the Office been. Bar and all others
called to transact business before him
are willing to conceed his ability and
his integrity.
Judge Walters stated to the Times
that he would take up his neglected
practice in some hustling community
and attempt to win back the private
practice which he sacrificed to accept
the judgeship. The best wishes of the
entire district will go with Judge
Walters in any field where he may
choose to locate.

governor of Idaho and three ex-gov-
ernors of this state will don overalls
and assist the residents of Caldwell
in building good roads today, the first
municipal holiday in the history OF
the northwest devoted exclusively to
the work of repairing highways. The
movement inaugurated by the road
committee of the Caldwell CONNER
cial club has assumed proportions far
i'm excess of the hope of its originat-
ors. and will doubtless prove a per-
manent feature in building and re-
pairing roads in this section. The
initial work of the volunteer road
makers will be on the boulevard east
TO the Nampa highway district, which
is a portion of the tentative route OF
the porposed state highway
Word has been received from Gov

of the road committee. to equip them
with overalls and shovels and to sup |

ternoon. The chairman has also IS
sued an edict absolutely prohibiting
speeches, and in order TO make good
II will be necessary for all visitors to

JUDGE WALTERS.
(From irwin Fails Times.)

(From Twin Falls Times)
The decision of Judge E. A WATERS
of the Fourth judicial district TO take
nm his private practice and forsake the
bench is causing disappointment to
many friends and admirers in this
county at least. Judge Walters has
oroyen that he is fully competent 10
administer law and justice in the two
terms which he has served. Cou-
pled with his ability to see the right
side of every case is a purpose to push
I;tigation to the uttermost and save
expense to the taxpayers. He mas
been popular with the lawyers of the
district more than any other man on
the bench, while probably driving the
same lawyers at greater speed in
getting cases tried and off the docket.
It is a great loss to this district ms
fixed purpose not to stay on the bench.
Tpdee walters will undoubtedly be a
welcome addition to the legal frater-
nitv wherever he may locate.

intimated heretofore. comes as an un-

Judge Walters has served two terms
or eight years in the office he fills SO
acceptably. While it is true that prl-
vate practice at the bar would yield
him a better return in money, that
consideration is not what caused him
to retire next year, but the higher
obligation upon him to save the health
of Mrs. Walters in change of loca-
ton is the reason for the change in
his plans. The family may seek new
home on the coast, where there is
plenty of demand for the legal service
of the retiring Judge and where Mrs.
Walters has already found health.
