Cowboy Demonstrates
Remarkable Nerve

Robert Sted came in from Larson s
ranch on the head of Little Lost river
Saturday to have broken leg
mended. He started out to go to a
dance one night and his saddle horse
fell with him. He next tried to ride
over the pass to get to Mackay for
surgical aid and was out in the snow
and storm SO hours without food or
comfort and on account of the depth
of snow on the summit had to return
to the starting point. After recruit
ing from this experience he went
around the mountains to Arco and
reached B1ackfoot by rail. He had
pair of perfectly shaped crutches
which he had made from willows and
aside from their lack of varnish and
other superficial finish they were a
challenge to factory made goods.
This courageous son Of the range
plugged along with his broken ankle
bound up with burlap, and chatted
about his plight, saying he supposed
he ought to have been going to church
that night instead of to a dance, but
that there wasn't any church to go
to and he was patronizing home in
dustry as he found it.

LESLIE CITIZENS
PASS RESOLUTIONS

The citizens of Leslie, on Lost
river, have held some meetings re-
Gently to discuss the tax question,
with the result that they adopted
sweeping resolutions condeming the
present administration, both state and
county, declared that officials receive
too high salaries, that they have too
many deputies, that capital is not
properly taxed so far as it is repre-
sented by notes and mortgages and
that all the old parties should be
thrown out of office and new party
placed in power to see that tax money
is used more judiciously.
People of all parties attended the
last meeting, all were enthusiastic in
adopting the resolutions committing
themselves to the support of the can
didates nominated by the new move
ment. They elected a corresponding
secretary, who was instructed to COM
municate with willing workers
throughout the state to help organ
ize the new party. Miles Knapp of
Leslie is secretary and was instructed
to ask each of the 144 newspapers
in the state to publish their resolu-
tions

DOWN FROM SUNNYLAND

Sheriff Mulliner of Bonneville
county, County Attorney Robert
Meyer, Representative George w.
Edgington and Attorney Clarence
Crowley were down from Idaho Falls
Monday, on case before Judge
Stevens to determine case of habeas
corpus.
Idaho Falls has had scandal and
number Of men were charged with
violating the moral law in relation
to a delinquent young woman. One
'man pleaded guilty and was sent to
prison and the question was whether
to stop at that or prosecute more OF
the offenders, whom the young woman
named as having yielded to tempta-
tion held out by her. The man in
jeopardy was released.

EVENING COURIER IN
LITIGATION

AS stated last week, the Evening
Courier is in the hands of a receiver
appointed on complaint of Judge j.
M Stevens, and the differences aris-
ing between the parties in interest
will probably hav to be threshed out
in the courts.
The plant is owned by Mrs. Antilles
of Pocatello, or rather, she holds a
mortgage for the value of it. The
business was conducted by e. A.
Cooke, and Judge stevens in his COM
plant represents that he is a partner
in the business and entitled to hold 81
per cent or a controlling interest.
He sets forth in his complaint that
Cooke handled the business in reck-
less and unbusiness-like manner and
got it hopelessly involved in debts,
and prays for an order from the court
of Bannock county to have the assets
of the bsuiness sold and the proceeds
applied on the Indebtedness.
Mr.. Cooke represents that Stevens
had no interest in the plant except
SIS in money and his signature on
the joint note given for the plant
when it was purchased.

HOW TO BUILD GOOD ROADS

The people of Idaho who are at all
interested in good roads will find a
mine of solid information in the Feb
ruary issue of See Idaho First. This
is a Good Roads" number, and roads
county, state and national, are told
about in the eight leading articles.
The Lincoln way, with its $500
miles of boulevard, costing ten mil
lions of dollars, is described by the
men who are making it, and they tell
how Idaho will benefit. A list of the
principal cities along this route is
given.
Theodore Turner, chairman of the
Idaho State Highway commission,
tells what the commission is doing,
and gives a complete outline Of the
roads planned to date.
Edward s. Smith, state highway en-
gineer, gives non-technical discus
sion, showing how the farmer may
build ordinary roads in the state. This
is practically a handbook for the
guidance of Idaho road builders.
The scenic roads of Blaine county
and the Sawtooth national park are
described and illustrated by J. Rus
sell Fox, of HALEY, while G. w.
Meigham, of Weiser, tells of the north
and south highway, the road that will
remove the geographical barrier that
separates the rich north from the
fertile south.
There is much other interesting
and instructive information about the
Gem state of which the editor aptly
says
the state we love the best,
The one made up of all the rest;
A land of hope, that thrills each
breast,
This wondrous Empire OF the West.

Gregory Jones to be
Blackfoot Post Master

The name of Gregory Jones has
been sent to the senate by President
Wilson for confirmation for post mas
ter at Blackfoot and when this is
done it will end the long costest for
the position. 1t is a victory of the
Elder-Nugent faction of the party
over Dubois.
Mr.. Jones is a son of Col. J. W.
Jones deceased, and has had fifteen
years training in office work of the
most exacting character and will be
eminently qualified to take up his
duties as postmaster and handle
it we'll from the start
Dubois Opposes Gregory Jones
Reports from Washington indicate
that former Senator Dubois appeared
before the committee on post office
affairs and made a protest that caused
the confirmation of Gregory Jones'
appointment to be held up.
Until recently Dubois and Jones
have been close political friends, but
then politics makes strange bed
fellows"

VIOLATING STATE
BANKING LAWS

NAMPA-J. A. Givens, vice-pres-
sident, and G.. L. Robbins, a director
of the Bank of Nampa, Ltd, of this
city, which was closed by the state
bank commissioner September 27,
1913, were arranged before Justic
Blunch here Monday afternoon on a
charge of violating the state banking
laws. The charge is founded on al
legged falsifications contained in a re-
port of the condition of the bank to
the state bank commissioner under
date of April Is, 1913.
Two Placed Under Bond
The proceedings at the arraingment
were brief, all unnecessary formali-
ties, even the reading by the court of
the complaint being waived. Justice
Blunck set the preliminary examina-
tion for Friday at 10 a. M, fixed the
amount of Mr.. Givens' bond for ap-
pearence at the examination at $780,
900, and Mr.. Robbins bond at $2500.
Both bonds were furnished. Attorney
Barnes Of Boise appeared as counsel
for Mr.. Givens; Mr.. Robbins had not
as yet retained counsel; the state was
representa- by county Attorney Henry.
Warrants for the apprehension of
the two bank officials were issued
last week, but pending service of the
same, the matter was not made pub
lie. A warrant was also issued at
the same time for G. e. Lore, cashier
of the Bank of Nampa, when it sus-
pended business.
Cashier not Apprehended
None of the defendants have shown
any inclination to keep under cover.
Mr.. Lore is understood to be in Los
Angeles, Cal, and while no reply has
yet been received from the tele-
graphic information sent officers
there, the Canyon authorities have no
fear but what he will be located. Mr.
Lore has previously asserted his will
ingness to return here If court pro-
ceedings required his presence and it
is anticipated that as soon as he
learns of the warrant issued, he will
start for Idaho. Mr.. Givens was at
La Grande, Oregan, and when in
formed Sunday night that the case
had been instituted he took the first
train to Caldwell Mr.. Robbins was
acquainted by telephone of the mat
ter, Monday morning, and at once
appeared before Justice Blunck for
service.

DEATH OF DIR. LEFEVIOR

DR.. LeFevior, an aged vender of
corn salve, who has visited Idaho
many times, died at Midvale, Utah, a
few days ago. He was found in an
unconscious condition and it was not
known who are his relatives. He was
said to be 102 years old, was a great
talker, was given to fortune telling,
reading by the stars and the palms
and other means, and was fond of
entertaining in this way.
He was at Blackfoot last summer
and had been coming this way about
once a year for a long time.

L. j. JORTER SPEAKS UP

rt r
Il. J.. Porter, the overseer in road
district number eight, rises to remark
that his friends,who read last week s
tax article in the Republican, and
who know his disposition to take rest
and nourishment as often as may be,
will acquit him of the charge of work
ing nights especially of such charge
as working II nights and 80 days in
three months.
The article did not refer to Mr.,
Porter, but like a good scout he
wants folks to know that he is not
getting dangerously industrious in
his years that seem sloping toward
the sunset.

JOLLYINC Us ON
NATIONAL PARK
Pocatello Tribune


A friend in California sends this
little pleasantly, published in San
Diego paper, evidencing that the ma
tives of other reserves appreciate that
we have national resource out here
that they can't get away from-Po-
catello being the center of population
in this instance.
The write says:
THE Yellowstone National park is
a public pleasure ground, maintained
by the United States government for
the enjoyment of the people and the
brown bears of the nation.
THE park is typically American
because of it's size. 1t is the largest
park open to the public anywhere.
Many nations could not have a park
of this size unless they borrowed
some territory from their neighbors.
1t has about $500 square miles and is
not fenced in. This is carelessness,
of course, and leads to some trouble,
but the government has never had
time to dig the post holes.
"The Yellowstone park is situated
in the northwest corner of Wyoming,
about $125 from the center of popu-
lation, including Pullman fare One
might think from it's inaccessibility
that it was postoffice, but in this
case the government had some ex-
cuse. The park is where it is because
it was impossible to move the scenery
of which it is composed to some more
centrally located spot.
Scenery and natural curiosities
are the strong points of the Yellow
stone park. 1t contains several
mountain ranges, plateau, large
number of canyons, large lake,
3O0-foot waterfall, and magnificent
collection of geysers. In fact, the
park has monopoly of geysers in
this country, and geyser lovers who
Wv hoI lAhC IlO PAlSO Vi dulnloolOu al
at liberty to jump off the dock.
"The Yellowstone park is 1000
feet high in some spots, and in others
reaches so far down that the water
in the springs is red hot and smells
of sulphur. Watching the geyser
throw water at the dog star, boiling
eggs in mud pots and escaping from
the tame bear, catamounts, mountain
lions and rattlesnakes are the favor
ite occupations of the tourists. Guns
are not allowed in the park, and the
bears and buffalo are so tame that
they will frequently walk up to a
shivering stranger and attempt to
borrow a chew of tobacco from him.
1.-THE Yellowstone park has the
grandest and wierdest scenery on this
continent, and if it were near New
York the government could make mil
lions by charging admission. It also
contains another great American
curiosity-good roads. Automobi-
lists who have travelled mostly in Illi-
nois and Missouri frequently go to
the park to see these roads alone"
