EFFICIENCY IS
DECLARED
BY CONVENTION

Returning delegates from the Civic
Convention at Wailuku declare that
one CT the most significant acts of the
entire session was the stand taken
for efficiency in public work by the
adoption OF a good roads resolution
with civil service clause in it.
In adopting this resolution unani-
me usly, after a lively discussion over
the inclusion of the civil service
clause, the convention recognized that
the time has come in Hawaii when
efficiency must be made an issue
whether 1t results in temporary loss
or not. The delegates say that the
convention by its action indicates
plainly and emphatieally to candidates
fer Office that the issue of efficiency
Is live che in this campaign.

plan for a new territorial reads sys-

ice clause providing that appointment

FAIR DIRECTORS
HOLD MEETING

Monday evening at the regular
weekly meeting of the directors OF
the BIackfoot fair. it was decided to
do some advertising on the films at
the picture shows in Idaho Falls,
Blackfoot and Pocatello, and Mr..
Buchanan and Mr. Ma CoshRm were
delegated to attend to it.
W. H. Stuffebeam was delegated
to attend to newspaper advertising in
Pocatello. F. C. West was engaged
to do some posting of bills in the
country. The Blackfoot Concert
band was employed for the fair week,
their bid being lower by three dol
lars than the bid of the Modern
.Woodmen. E. NJ. Kennedy was dele
gated to look after getting riders
and horses for the wild west features
of the fair, and there was some dis
cussion as to automobile and motor
cycle races, It was decided to have
no automobile races for the reason
that the track is not suitable, and
there would be danger of accidents

HE LIVED AT SALMON

A. j. MacNab was in the city on
Wednesday hunting up the "old
boys" that are left and shaking their
hands and wondering that there are
so few of them He is not very old,
but he stood guard on the frontier
when the Sioux, the Blackfeet and
the Mes Perces were still unsubdued;
he was long the business partner OF
Senator Shoup; he helped to lay the
foundations of the state of Idaho. II
every kind act that he has performed
was a flower, Idaho would bloom like
garden of roses. He has gone to
live down by the seashore in Califor-
MIA but about one year the Old
wonderlust comes upon him and he
deserts his home and comes to cast
his eyes on the desert mountains and
to shanke hands with old friends.
When he passes on about a quarter
of century hence his friends will
say: Nothing allied him except
that his heart kept enlarging until
finally there was no room left for
it and it stopped beating. Good

Incomplete Returns Of Primary
Election Some Yet Doubtful

In the Republican party, the NOM
inees so far as indicated as settled
beyond doubt by the early returns
are Haines for governor. Taylor,
lieutenant governor; Brady, senator;
Allen, treasurer; Mccoy, state super

Democratic: Alexander governor;
Nugent for the senate.
County nominations: Simmons,
sheriff; Dickinson, county attorney;

superintendent of schools; Christen-
sen, Bond and Fackrell, commission
ers.
The following list is the complete
report from twelve precincts with
frangments of two others. The re-
turns from seven precincts seem to
have been sealed up without any

requires, and with nobody having
copied it to send in 20 the secretary

THOUGHT 1T WAS MRS. BOND

Charlie Hughes was out in the
sand hills last Friday looking for
Blackfoot's lost woman, and sighted
a woman at some distance, and she
disappeared suddenly. He rode
quickly to the location and sighted
her again walking away with her
back to him, and carrying bundle.
He thought it might be a squaw. and
when he rode up close she turned
hnd it was white woman. He was
sure it was Mrs. Bond, and dismount-
ed and began talking to her. She
responded, but spoke with a foreign
accent She said she was going to
Pocatello; that she had come from
Butte, and had only enough money
to pay her fare to Blackfoot and
was walking on in to Pocatello where
she would find q home with her
nephew.
Mr.. Hughes informed her that she
was going away from Pocatello, and
that she would have to return to
Blackfoot, some six miles, and take a
new start. She was woman about
fifty years old, quite intelligent and
courteous, and was very tired and
hungry. Mr.. Hughes gave her his
lunch, tied her luggage on his sad.

He made her comfortable for the
night and on Saturday morning
bought her ticket to Pocatello ant
put her on the train.
BY this lucky find another mys
terious disappearance and probable
death was averted.

Paris Remains Calm

when Paris presented the appearance
of such complete calm," says the
Paris correspondent of the Chronicle.

The possibility of German raid
is Slight. Solitary fortresses may per-
haps be masked, but the attempt to
cut down the Disc valley towards

first routing the masses of the army,
is madness.

Final Effort Being Make to Keep

desperately to prevent the success OF

On the eastern war stage Russia
frankly confesses to disaster to two
army corps with the loss of three
generals, elsewhere the Russian arms
seemed to have triumphed. Galicia
has been successfully invaded and
Lemberg will soon be evacuated, ac-
cording to reports from the st. Peters
burg war office.
If this is true, the Austrian men
ace to Russian Poland will be ended
and Russian forces can begin to con-
verge for the march to Berlin, the
Russian objective in north Galicia,
apparently being Koenigshutte,
whence they can march on Berlin via
Breslau.
On the upper Disc the British are

Germans from obtaining one of the

DEATH OF ID. WORTH CLARK

d. Worth Clark, of Pocatello, the
Oregon Short Line attorney, died Fri
day morning at o'clock after sew
eral months of sickness and on oper-
alton. The Pocatello Tribune has the
following to say:
1t is with profound grief that this
community, as well as this part of
the state, receives the news that D.
Worth Clark died at Salt Lake at 5
o'clock Friday morning.
He had been or the sick list for
several months and following a re-
lapse was taken to Salt Lake short
time ago and returned in the belief
that he was on the road to recovery.
Another attack seized him, however,
and he was taken back to that city,
where he underwent an operation and
assesses were removed from the up
per portion of the stomach, as well
as from the liver. He showed i'm
provement following the operation,
but the long period of illness had re-
duced his system to the point where
it could not withstand the shock.
At his bedside were his wife, his
sister, Mrs. Harry Holden, of Idaho
Falls, and his brothers, Barzilla w.
Clark, mayor of Idaho Falls, and
Chase Clark of Mhckay and other rel
atives as well as his law partner
Jesse r. S. Bulge, who was almost
constantly in attendance during the
last illness of his friend.
ID. Worth Clark was one of the
best known men in Idaho. For many
years and up to the present time he
was regarded as one of the leading
Democrats in the Gem state and was
known as one of the most success

A CENTURY AGO AND NOW

One hundred years ago yesterday
the "president's palace at Washing
ton was gutted by fire, and from this
event it became universally known as
the "White House" 1t was at the
time Of the war of 1912. In the
Pickering light of burning Washing
ton the scarlet-coated figures OF the
incendiaries, the soldiers of the Brit
ish king, were to be seen rioting in
the streets of the city they had cap
tured after President Madison and
his cabinet and most of the citizens
fled at their approach. In the general
flight. Dolly Madison, the presidents
wife, fingered long enought to cut
George Washington's portrait from
it's frame and DAIRY it off to safety.
1t is related that the presidents DIN
ner was still steaming on the table
when the British burst into the
"palace," as it was then called. In
the light cast by the burning capitol
the Treasury building, the Arsenal
and 1000 volumes contained in the
congressional library, the troops
rushed to the palace" Some seized
flaming brands from burning sa-
loon and thrust them into the drap-
cries of the presidents house. Mir
rors, furniture and bric-a-brac were
smashed, while the flames burned un-
til they had gutted the interior and
scorched the exterior. When the
palace" was repaired the fire marks
were obliterated on the outside with
white paint This, it is said, is the
way in which the building become
knomn as the white House."
Today the White House is visited
by more than 1000 persons every
day. More historical events have
centered around this shining, white
mansion than any like building in the
world during the past century.
Twenty-eight presidents and their
families have lived in it, and two
have died within it's walls. Lincoln
went from its Red Room to his assas-
sination at Ford theater; Garfield
was carried unconscious to its shelter
where he fingered in pain from the
assassin's bullet many weeks before
he died. The greatest statesman of
the world have assembled here to dis
cuss the destinies of governments and
nations. It's magnificent ballroom
has been the scene of functions
whose splendor has riyaled those OF
the most sumptuous or Oriental
courts. Here the chief executive con-
ducts his business. To maintain the
White House and its expenses 1t re-
quires over $3.50, 900 year. Under
the head of household expenses,
horses and vehicles, etc., is the item,
$4,000; fuel, $4,000; lighting,
$4,000. To-day the White House has
been enlarged to accommodate the
growing official family Of the presi-
dents. 1t has been reported that
since it's foundation the American
people have spent more than $4,000
900 to keep it in proper order for
their first citizen. Elk.
