SALE IS POSTPONED
State Engineer Will Investigate the
Lost River Dam.

Once again has the sale of the Big
Lost River irrigation project been
postponed. 1t was to have occurred
at HALEY last Saturday. The reason
assigned for the postponement is CIV
en- by James e. Clinton, Jr., the re-
ceiver, who states that the Utah Con-
struction company, which proposes to
make a bid on it, does not desire to
invest it's money in the project until
the state engineer has passed upon
the Mackay dam site as to whether or
not it is safe and if not safe where a
dam can be erected for the impound-
ing of water with which to irrigate the
land included within the project. The
decision to authorize State Engineer
King to make an immediate investiga-
ton of the site was, as previously an
nounced, reached yesterday. He will
have force in the field by the early
part Of this week.-Pocatello Tribune.

KING DRAG FOR ROADS
d. Ward Kings Representative Gives
Interesting Talk.

W. H. Seed, representing D. Ward
King of the famous King Road Drag,
was visitor to this city attempting to
interest the Commercial club in ser
les of demonstrations on road work
with the King drag by the inventor
himself. The club, for financial rea-
sons, were compelled to turn the pro-
position down, while regretting such
act exceedingly. Mr.. Seed, however,
in an informal talk to a few members
of the Commercial club Wednesday
evening, gave great deal of valuable
information which may prove worth
while in working the county roads.
Mr.. Seed stated emphatically that the
right time to work dirt roads was the
minute 1t ceased raining and not a
day or two later He stated that by
the use Of the drag at this time hard
surface could be maintained and with
each successive use the depth of the
hard surface was increased He stat
ed that the maximum cost per mile
where the drag was used was only
$500 against ten times that sum
which is expended in a great many
counties by the unskilled labor put on
the roads.

BANK CASE BACK FOR TRIAL
In Divided Opinion Supreme Court
Decides Against G.. G. Taber.

In an opinion in the case OF the Ex-
change State bank against G. G. Ia
ber, the supreme court divided, Justice
Sullivan and Chief Justice Ailshie de-
Gliding in favor Of reversal Of the
judgment of Judge G. 0. Stockslager,
who presided over the trial in the dis
trict court, and Justice Stewart dis
senting from the majority opinion
The judgment of the trial court was in
favor of Taber, awarding him $3,601. 49,
From this the bank appealed. The de-
cision of the supreme court. is re-
versal Of this judgment. The case is
sent back for new trial and the costs
of appeal are awarded to the appel
liant, the bank.
This is complicated case. In the
original action the bank Instituted
suit in the district court of Twin Falls
county against G.. G. Taber to compel
payment OF two notes given the bank
one for $504.49 and one for $2,393. To
secure payment of the notes the bank
held as collateral promissory notes in
favor Of Taber from James T. Robin.
son and w. T. Robinson.
AS defense Taber charged that the
bank had been negligent In the hand
ling OF certain prOmissOry notes
placed in the bank by him for collec-
ton. He claimed to have been dam
aged in this way to the extent of $6566
and he asked for a judgment from the
bank of $3601 80
At the close Of the jury trial in the
district court Taber was given judg-
ment in the sum of $3924.07.
By the action of the supreme court
this judgment is set aside and the
case is to go to trial again in the dis.
trict court. The majority opinion o1
the higher court Is based on alleged
errors made in the trial of the case
Justice Stewart in his dissenting opin-
ion holds that there were no reversi
BILE errors made and that the judgment
of the trial court should stand

ARB0R DAY PROCLAMATION
Governor Halnes Names April "a As
Tree Planting Day.

The time has again arrived when.
In accordance with custom, it is nec-
essary to designate day to be known
and observed throughout the state az
Arbor day This day is of peculiar
significance to Idaho and to the other
arid states of the great west. It's pur-
pose is to foster the cultivation OF
trees and the protection of birds.
Every tree which Is made to grow
ADDS beauty to the landscape and
makes our state more desirable place
in which to live and the multiplica-
tlon or trees has a tempering effect
upon thee atmosphere, increasing its
humidity and thus tending to mitigate
the desert character of much Of the
area Of our state.

governor of the state Of Idaho, do de-
signate and set apart Friday, the 24th
day OF April as Arbor day, and do rec
ommend that insofar as practicable
this day be designated by county SUI
per1ntendents of schools throughout
the state as Arbor day in their res
pective counties. l recommend, also.
that the day be generally observed by
the planting Of trees and by the hold
ing of exercises calculated to Impress
our young people with the great inn
portance to us Of the cultivation OF
trees and the protection of birds.
In testimony whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state to be affixed
this 18th day of March, 1914

The Anti-Saloon league OF Ameri-
ca has announced it's purpose to
throw the whole power Of it's organi-
zatlon to the assistance of the Anti
saloon league of the respective states
and the other organizations co-opera-
ting with them. Seven Of it's speak
ers will tour Oregon in April They
are Ex-Governor Malcolm r. Patter-
son of Tennessee; DR.. Purley A.
Baker, general superintendent of the

gia evangelist. 1t is announced that
other speakers of equal prominence
will follow at brief intervals through
out the summer. These same speakers
will be used in the other four states.
The campaign in opposition will
be directed in this state by the
Oregon Home Rule league, which is
canvassing for funds and already has
raised a large sum. The stated
ground Of the OPPOSITION is that, as
Oregon counties, towns and precincts
already have local option, under the
home rule law, it would be unjust to
vote those of them dry under state
prohibition which may express by the
ballot desire to remain wet

SENATORIAL FIGHT BRISK
Candidates Headquarters in Seattle
Busy-Todd Reported Gaining.

The campaign for the Democratic
nomination for United States senator
is taking definite shape with the pri-
maries only three weeks away. Three
of the candidates have established
headquarters in Seattle. Hugh G..
Todd has his at 209 Lyon building,
while the Cotterill headquarters are
in the same building and the Turner
headquarters nearby. Black has no
Headquarters in Seattle.
Todd's headquarters appear to be
mighty busy and his campaign has
taken on renewed vigor and strength
within the last week. With three
stenographers and typewriters busy
and two assistant managers, all vol
unteer workers, Todd is conducting
what is said to be the most agrees
sive campaign of any of the candl-
dates. Todd's friends claim there is
sentiment going over the state that
he is more acceptable to all of the
Democrats than any of the other
candidates, and that consequently he
is the most available candidate for
the Democrats to nominate because
he is the one that is sure to unite the
party behind him if the Democrats
vote for him on September 8.
One evidence that Todd is gaining
ground faster than any other candi-
date is the fact that last week twenty
women gathered in his campaign
headquarters and started volunteer
precinct work among the women vot-
ers of Seattle.

ropean war, would have made this
age a memorable one in the political
annals of our country? Three out OF
every four persons in Southwestern
Washington believe in the president
and his policies, but at the same time
this district has representing 1T In
Washington a man who is bitterly
fighting the president and his poll
cies. Sound judgment and a normal
vision suggest that we be represent
ed in congress by man whose poll
teal creed gibes with that of the
administration.
Hereafter it will be more to be
an American than it ever has been
heretofore. The prostration of the
great first-class powers of Europe by
this war means that the United
States will gain lead over them
that will place this country in class
wholly by itself. We will do the
trading of the world. We will be the
bankers of the world. Our ideas
will be the ideas that will eventually
form and mold new, worldwide
nationalism. New dispensations will
take form and back of them will be

lions Of the American people have In

and revolutionized the utilities of the
world. so the ideals of the American
people will, during this century,
transform and revolutionize the

"Never in history have we needed
great leader more and not in his
tory have we had more genuine, q

man than President Wilson. Shall
this district stand behind this man,
or shall we send a man to Washing

finds his own political prejudices so
dominating him that he cannot har-
monte with the administration on
| any plans for the upbuilding Of the
