State Superintendent of Public IN
struction Miss Grace Shepherd has is
sued a greeting to the superintendents
of county and city schools in Idaho.
asking that September "A. which

Greeting:
September IA. 1914. marks the cen
tennial Of the writing Of our national
hymn, THE Star Spangled Banner"
Dr. Claxton, commissioner Of educa-
ton Of the national bureau Of educa-
ton, suggests that very fitting way
of celebrating this anniversary would

Of this year. I think the idea a most
excellent one and trust you may be
able to have this done in your schools
Sincerely yours,

TO SAVE BEAUTY OF FALLS

The preservation of at least a part
of the scenic beauty of Shoshone falls
during the summer months while q
greater portion fthe stream Of Snake
river is diverted through irrigation
bitches. is a present problem. now that
the Twin Falls electric railway line
has been completed to that point, and
if the suggestion lately made by I. B.
Perrine is acted upon it is probable
that that end may be accomplished
At the expense of about $1,000. he
says, dam may be built at the brink
of the falls to spread the stream so
that it viii cover the rocks that are
now dry during the irrigation season.
In this respect the dam that was built
to divert water to the power plant
at the falls has proven a benefit to
the north side of the falls.-Twin

TWO COUPLES COME TO
SHOSHONE TO MARRY

Sunday evening a young couple
came in from the country and made a
heart breaking search for County
Clerk Anderson and his deputy. John
Helman. Either would have served.
but Mr.. Helman was at church and
they failed to locate him, so they set
their hearts upon getting hold of Mr..
Anderson. At last they succeeded and
routed him out of his home where he
was removing the vestiges of a motor
trip from his person. Mud -bespaller-
ed and dusty. the county clerk accom-
panied them TO the courthouse and
filed out the document they desired
which the couple Immediately gave 70
Rev. E. H. Lewis. They were at that
time named Dean Broadie and Miss
Verna Baker Henceforth they VIII be
Mr.. and Mrs. Dean Broadie. Many
friends We're pleasantly surprised on
being told of the step they had taken.
and the good wishes Of their neigh
borhood go with them in their new
relationship.

WORK PROGRESSING RAPIDLY
ON THE coTToNWooDS ROAD

The work on the road at the Cot
tonwoods is progressing in splendid
fasrion, according to W. D. Large of
the road camp located there. Mr..
Large was in Shoshone on Monday
and was a caller at the Journal
office.
He states that there are about fifty
men and ten or fifteen teams con-
tinuously employed on the work and
that the road is rapidly assuming the
appearance of a turnpike.
In commenting on the character of
the work, Mr.. Large remarked that
the road builders in the north end of
the state had a hard time of it blast
ing stumps from the right of way, but
that their arduous labors were
equalled by the herculean efforts
necessary to put a polish on the lava
rock road beds of this section.
'I am a dry land farmer of this sec
ton, and I appreciate the necessity of
constructing good roads," said Mr..
Large, "and while there is no easy job
on the work. the men who are employ
ed are not looking for snaps. They
realize this necessity for good roads
as much as any one. We are working
for the up-building of Shoshone and
Lincoln county. and for the improve
ment of the roads tributary TO and
traversing this section we shall later
be indebted for an increased activity
in the commercial life of our county
seat. People like good roads, and the
fact that highways as smooth as a
paved street in city may be found
in our district win prove an almost
irresistible inducement to visitors
from the East"

SHOSHONE ICE CAVES
AN IDAHO PHENOMENON.
GRACE NJ. SHEPHERD.

Two auto loads Of Kimberly folks
made a trip Saturday night to the
famous ice cave some twenty miles
north Of Shoshone. Everyone in
the party was surprised at what
they saw. Few people even in this
part of the state realize that one Of
the most wonderful natural sights to
be seen in the country may be found
within a few hours travel IN
Europe people go hundreds Of
miles 70 see scenic wonders not to
be compared with this. A very pc
cuIiar feature of this most peculiar
natural wonder is that the ice lining
of the caves thaws during the cold
weather of winter and freezes un
again in the summer. Governor
F. r. Gooding is authority for this
and he is corroborated by others

That is surely the most attract
i've of all summer resorts. and when
it is advertised as it should be, peo-
pie who feel as if they were really
roasting will flock there during hot
spells to breathe the breath Of ac-
tual winter cave-eneased while all

TO RELlNQUlSH BIG
TRACT ON NORTH SIDE.

Some time during the latter part
of this month, probably September -
the land department Of the state of
Idaho will relinquish to the govern
ment several thousand acres Of land
now contained in the Twin Falls
North Side irrigation project.
This project is under the Carey act
and according to the terms of the act,
land which cannot be supplied with
water in sufficient quantities under
the system on the project must be re-
turned to the government. This is
the case with the tract in question.
Representatives of the company which
operates the project met with the land
board Saturday and made the repre-
sentation that they were unable to
handle the full amount of the project
as it has been reserved by the state.
The board then agreed to allow the
REIMBURSEMENT and relieve the COM
pany Of that obligation.
That settlers may have the first
chance to homestead the tract. the re-
turn will not be made for some weeks
and by squatting on the property
settlers will have first
chance at securing it for homes. The
land is under the territory Of the
HALEY land Office.

SAMUEL SIR WAS
BAPT|SMAL NAME
INTERESTING SKETCH OF CAN
DlDATE KING, NOMINATED FOR
PROBATE JUDGE OF LINCOLN
COUNTY.

Samuel Sir King-whoever in all
Lincoln county knows the Christian
name of the Republican nominee for
the office of Probate Judge, whose
friends piled up for him one of the
high scores in the primaries? Well,
Samuel Sir is the name bestowed upon
him in baptism. The King children
had appeared so rapidly that they had
to be named two or three at a time
when the preacher appeared in THEN
pioneer neighborhood. So at the time
Of this baptism there was another
brother also and they called him
Frank John Broxon in honor of an
old friend. There was . Bible name
picked out for the next in line. an
infant, who had to be carried in the
arms of his nurse, and she was asked
TO name this child" as sponsor. Sam
uel, Sir" she answered in a deferen-
tial tone, and the preacher so repeat
ed the name after her for the present
of Lincoln county.
Mr.. King came mighty near being
born a subject of the British crown,
but he wasn't. for his parents had
settled in the state of Ohio just before
Samuel Sir saw the light of day. THE
father was a farmer
There the children were all educat-
ed and trained in business pursuits.
Samuers education and life work hav-
ing been along lines to perfect his
clerical abilities. In Kansas he be-
came known as one of the best abb
stracters in the state. He found time
also to study law and is a good lawyer
but never practiced that profession
except in connection with his work
of perfecting abstracts. incidentally
he became remarkably artistic pen
man, an accomplishment that will
stand him in good stead if he should
be chosen TO fill the office he is now
seeking.
Mr. King is a scholarly man and
student of Shakespeare. How he be-
came citizen of Lincoln county and
settled way out in the sagebrush sew
en- miles beyond Dietrich when that
town had neither habitation or name
is explained in the fact told above.
that his people were farmers before
him and he was simply in his element
when he had ogne back to the land

with modest comforts around them.
but each with well stored and culti-
waited mind that to each a kingdom is.
Mrs. King is a descendant of the
Sharpless Quaker family of Pennsyl-
vania, belongs to the Daughters Of the
American Revolution and both are
members of the Protestant Episcopal
Church.

cases are to be referred to the state
highway commission, which has jur-
isdiction and power to compel these
officers to fulfill the law.
The auto license in this state is
simply a lieu tax, and is exceptionally
light when compared with the taxes
assessed against autos in other states
Utah, for instance. assesses a license
and also a property tax against each
machine. Thus, the cost of keeping
up ones car in that state is a great
deal more than it is in the state of
Idaho.
Three thousand six hundred licenses
for autos and motor bikes have been
issued in this state this season, and
the average tax collected on each car
and cycle is about fifteen dollars.
Mr.. Wheeler has recently completed
a tour of several counties of the cent
raj and southeast part of the state
and relates the experience of himself
and Will Newman in getting over the
Galena summit and down into the val
ley of the Salmon river For a con-
their cars, both of which were Fords,
around and then back up the hill, the
machines having more power when
reversed than when on the straight
ahead. In order to feed the oil into
the engine, they kept up an abnormal
pressure by inserting their tire pumps
into the tank and pumping vigorous
ly. When they had crossed the sum-
nit they found that they would need
with which their machines were
equipped. Thereupon they cut two
trees, each about thirty feet long and
six inches in diameter, which they
trailed behind the cars in making the
descent.
After Mr.. Wheeler left Idaho Falls
on this tour he started west on the
road to a town named Howe. The
sagebrush and lava desert known as
Rolling Plateau lay between, and he
lost his way, arriving at point on the
Lost river many miles to the south of
Howe. To use his own words, he
didn't know HOW to get to HOWE.
He hasn't been there yet.
He says that the finest scenery to
be found anywhere is along the Sal
mon river in the mountains, and that
the trouble required to get there is a
small price to pay for the privilege
of seeing the country.
Mr. Wheeler goes next to the Twin
Falls country, Jefferson. Madison and
Fremont counties, and a couple of
counties in the extreme southeast
part of the state.
He estimates that two or three
weeks more will be needed in which
to finish up his work.

SOME MIXTURES.

More than one man got nominal
ton that he never sought For in
stance Paul Kartzke, who ran for the
Republican nomination for the state
Senate and was defeated by Zug, Sc
cured the progressive nomination for
the same office and one vote did II
Likewise George Redmon, defeated for
Sheriff as Democratic candidate, got
the same nomination by the Progress
sives. So also Charles J. Lisle. Robert
]. McAfahon and Walter A. Heiss were
twice named for Representative and
County Commissioner respectively in
the same way.
A large number OF the committee
men for both the old parties were
tied in the vote received. In this way
it fell to the County Commissioners to
decide such cases by lottery, by which
c. Hansen won over E Noble for the
Democrats in Shoshone. Louis Gieske
in North Shoshone. Lawrence I. John

OTHER RESULTS.

The Democratic results were never
in any doubt as to the county nomina
tons except that OF Sheriff. for which
Office alone there were more than one
candidate. For Sheriff Jenkins had
more votes than Redmon by Il. There
was only one other interesting fea-
ture in this party in the fact that

WHERE TO FIND THE TEACHERS

School began Tuesday with larger
attendance than usual. Shoshone is
fortunate in securing such capable
corps of teachers. They are all pleas
antly settled in their new homes. The
Misses Fitzpatrick and Jennings are
with Mrs. Price Newman; Misses
Peterson, Natter and Voris with Mrs.
Fred W -Gooding; Misses Anderson
and Hoffman with Mrs. W. H Murphy
and Miss Palmer is with Mrs. John

Owing to the increase in attendance
in the grades. Miss Josephine Parry
has been added to the teaching force.
She is teaching the third and fourth
grades on the South Side.

The first four names in this list
will go upon the ballot to be voted
in November and from among the four
two judges are to be chosen for ths
bench Of the Fourth District.
All of them except Boutwell, are res
idents of the south side of the Snake
river which would seem to give the
Shoshone lawyer a decided advantage
in the race, unless there should be a
combination against him on the south
side. which would hardly seem to
be likely.
