up the former merchant-prince as
king of confidence men.

MIDKFF WAS THE wINkER

In the ten round boxing contest
pulled off at the Auditorium Mon
day might. in which Midkiff of
Blackfoot, and Holcomb. of Rock
land, were the contestants. Midkiff
was declared the winner, his op-
ponent being counted out in the
fourth round. There was a large
crowd in attendance and it seems
to be the opinion of the majority
that Holcomb was the most clever
and scientific boxer, but he did
not have enough steam behind his
punch TO do much damage. This
condition. it is asserted by friends
Of the Rockland boy is due to the
fact that his training had not been
thorough enough to put him in con-
ditiOn.
Two good prehminaries we're
pulled off before tthe main bout
which afforded much amusement fol

Commissioner Sparks.

When seen about the road bond
question this week, Commissioners
Sparks expressed himself in a way
that showed him to be thoroughly
convinced thGt the only way in
which the roads of the county can
be improved to the extent that they
should be. within a reasonable time
is by bonding the county. Mr..
sparks said
Ever since the county was or
ganized, the matter of road i'm
cfrement has been one of tthe
nl- grievious questions that we,
as C. missioners, have had to com
te wa. We have a big area
Of uldev c'oped territory. and from

past summer and with that amount

ten times as much money we could

FUNDS FOR STATE HIGHWAY
HAVE BEEN APP0RTIONED
Power County Gets Eight Thousand of Two Hundred
Thousand Dollar Melon--County Must Put up $4,000
for FortyTwo Miles of First Class Road

Boise. Jan. 1.-The state highway
commission has apportioned s238.-
600 to the different counties of the
state to be used in the construction
of permanent highways in harmony
with the general system mapped out
for the state. This money is appro-
priated with the distinct understand
ing that before it becomes available
the respective counties must comply
with the requirements of the state
highway Law.
This money is to come from the
sale of a 100000 bond issue and
from the money collected by the
state from the license tax ON auto
mobiles and other motor vehicles.
But as the bonds are not yet sold
and as there is a suit pending in
the state supreme court to test the
constitutionality of the automobile
license tax, the appropriations made
to the counties must be considered
as tentative to be ratified later.
The apportionment is as follows:

COMMISSIONERS MAY AND
SPARKS EXPRESS VIEWS
They Favor the Issuance of Bonds for Building County
Roads and Seem be Confident in the Position That
no Other Method Will Prove as Efficient

work is undertaken by that method
those who are now opposed to the
bond issue for reason that it will
increase their taxes will find that
their taxes will increase from year
to year with the growth and
development of the county and the
road system will never be what it
should be until bonds are issued and
a large amount of money is raised
at one time In this county the ex-
penditure of $4,000 or 100000 a
year will accomplish nothing in the
way of permanent improvement, and
| am positive that eventually the
county will have to be bonded for
this purpose.
Il am just returning from my old
home county of Box Elder, Utah,
where they are just completing a
system of roads at cost of $275,-

ton of taxes and | found that the
tax for interest and sinking funC

few cents over $500, and tina
man explained to me that the de
crease i'm the general levy for roa'
purposes would more than offse
THAT amount SO, as a matter o
fact, he was actually paying les

You might say for me- also. tha
if the people are afraid that tn
money is going to be squandered'
q will favor the selection of a mol
. partisan, non-interested commissio
, to have full charge of the constru'

would like to make the statemel

Unfortunately the audience was
much smaller than usually greets
