MEDICAL STAFF IS
STILL IN THE AIR
ADM BOARD INSISTS
UPON NAMING THREE MEM
RF1sS TO DO THE WORK.

Nothing further came officially
from the executive committee Of the
Medical College of Virginia yesterday
concerning the naming of tho visiting
staff of the Virginia hospital.
Chairman l.. 4. Morris of that COM
mittee appeared before the board, un-
officially. with the object In view OF
getting the board TO concur in a sug-
gestion that the hospital committee
name eight members Of the visiting
staff and the administrative board
two.
Captain Mccarthy declared that so
far as ne was concerned the board
would name three members. and the
college con- ittee might name the
other seven. This view had been
previously expressed by the commit
tee, go the question win remain in
statu quo, until the college commit
tee sends in seven nominees.
Accordingly the board yesterday
took no official action concerning the
matter
Chairman Morris stated that he had
not called his committee. since the
opinion of the city attorney had been
handed down, with the hope that the
board might agree with him in his
suggestion that eight members of the
staff be named by the committee and
two by the board.
I'VE do not care to do that" said
Captain Mccarthy. we have the
right of naming rhree. ] do not
know who they may be. but insist
that tho committee hand us list Of
seven names, SO that we many not be
confused in our several appoint
ments"

VISIT FREEZING

freezing. Va, July 24.-The copious
showers OF the past few days have
greatly helped vegetation, though the
drought did considerable damage be-
fore 1t was broken.
The acreage in corn in this imme
date section Is larger than usual. but
1t is doubtful IL the yield Will reach
that of last year by one-fourth. Irish
potatoes are practically a failure, so
far as early planting is concerned
Late planted potatoes, however. are
looking fairly we'll. Sweet potatoes
are somewhat promising.
From present indication the apple
crop will exceed that of any recent
year. Many trees are overloaded with
fruit, in consequence Of which some
are breaking down.
The berry crop, especially blackber-
ries, is heavy, and the fruit Is OF the
finest quality. Many berries are be-
ing canned.

The Aco Commercial club met in
special session Wednesday, night, May
9Th, at the Baptist church, for the pur-
pose of discussing the proposed high
way from the western boundary of
Blaine county to Blackfcot by way Of
Arco.
There were present at the meeting
from out Of town, l. E. Rockwell Of
Bellevue, Chairman Adamson of the
board of county commissioners, !
Patrie, E. NJ. Kennedy, Herman STUFF

speaker of the evening. AS is well

made mention of the fact that tt

the people of Blaine county had bee.
trying for some time to get a ST
highway from HALEY to Blackfoot or
Idaho Falls by way Of Arco, and that
instead of that there had been forced
upon them a road running north and
south connecting with the Shoshone'
Twin Falls country.
Through the repeated efforts Of the
good reads association the state high
way commission had finally agreed t
allow them $4,000 to build this run.

Blaine county will raise $4,000 an
will provide an eastern terminal con-
Meeting with some other state high
way. 1t was already possible for t.
county to get this $4,000 and all
necessary arrangements had been
made except providing an eastern ter
minal. The purpose Of the meeting
at Arco was for us to decide where
this terminal should be, Blackfoot or
idaho Falls.
Inasmuch as the road by way of
Blackfoot was only eight miles farther
than to Idaho Falls, and was less OK
pensive to psf in shape, it was de-
cided unanimously to have it run
from Arco to Blackfoot.
| Chairman Adamson called attention
to the fact that our taxes would not
necessarily be raised by building this
road, as the July apportionment of IT,
taxes would pay off the warranted il
debtedness of the county and thu
about this time Blaine county Auou.--
receive from Power county $35
which would supply the necessary mo
ney for the road and leave neat bal
ance. He explained the many benefits
| ITO be derived from the road, not only
by having many tourists pass this way
but in taxes, as the upkeep would be
very small in proportion to what is
now being spent.
Geo. E. Ferris, J. E. Smith, X. L.
Molen, S. A. Paisley and Dave Daniels
were appointed as delegate to meet
with the gentlemen named from Black
foot who will meet with the state

them the many advantages of having
