RIGGS ENDORSED FOR
POSTMASTER
Unless There is a Slip, Sam ID.
Riggs Will Succeed Ed
Waring

Unless something unexpected hap
pens in the fight for the Emmett post
mastership, Sam D. Riggs will re-
ceive the plum and succeed Ed War
ing when his term expires in Febru-
airy. The local Democratic central
committee has been notified that Mr..
Riggs has been endorsed by the state
chairman and his name forwarded to
National Committeeman Elder.
Mr.. Riggs is thoroughly competent
for the position. His success in the
race against two other mighty good
men, w. T. Calender and c. l.. Gam
age, may be attributed, in addition to
his qualifications, to getting IN the
race early and having strong back
ing. He announced his candidacy as
soon as it was known that Woodrow
Wilson had been elected. His only
other avowed antagonist at that
time was Ralph Womack, who later
withdrew. R. B. Wilson and w. T..
Calender entered the fight, but Mr..
Wilson withdrew in favor of Mr.. CAL
lender. The contest cut some fgue
locally in the state election a year
ago.

TO MAKE CUT OF PLOW-
man TUNNEL
Bids for Work Show that Cut
Can Be Made $4,000
Cheaper

Bids for the enlarging and improve
ment of the Canyon canal tunnel at
Plowman's were opened Monday by
the board of directors of the Emmett
Irrigation district, and when a COM
parison of the cost of cementing the
tunnel and making it an open cut
was made, the cut had the best of
it by more than $4,000. No definite
action was taken on the bids, as the
finances to pay for the work have not
yet been arranged.
There were three bidders, each sub
mitting figures on a cement tunnel
and an open cut. The lowest bid for
the cement plan was $4,000 The
bidders were: Utah Construction Co.,
the Union Construction company and
the Manley Brothers Construction
company, all of Boise.
Engineer Horne recommends the cut
in preference to the tunnel, and it is
certain the cut will be made when the
work is undertaken.

rasp not on his nerves.

The Arlington Monument.

Of interest to Grand Army men, as
well as the public generally is the Ar
lington monument to the nations SOL
diers and sailors, for which congress
in 1913 appropriated $750,O00. The
work was placed in the hands of a
commission of national Importance.
The site selected was in Arlington
cemetery-the famous burying ground
across the Potomac from Washington,
which was once part of General
Robert E. Lees estate. The vast Ar
lington amphitheater, as designed by
the architects, will cover about 10000
square feet of space. The elliptical
colonnade will contain more than 100
massive columns. Within the oval
there will be seats for 5000 persons.
Beneath the colonnade, stretching out
in either direction from the speakers
forum. a series of crypts will be con-
structed wherein may DE buried the
noted men of the army and navy.
The spacious structure at the entrance
will be used for a mortuary chapel
and military museum. Its walls will
be lined with priceless relics CLEANED
from many battle fields. This great
national monument is being built of
Vermont marble.

PEACE OUTLOOK HOPEFUL
P. Monroe Smock to Accompany the
Ford Peace Expedition.

Mondays papers announced that P.
Monroe Smock, the silver tongued or
ator, poet, lawyer, preacher and poll
clan of New Plymouth, has accepted
an invitation to join the Henry Ford
peace expedition to Europe and leaves
this week for New York to board the
Oscar Second. Mr.. Smock will vir-
tually represent Idaho in the peace
expedition.
Therefore, it is safe to predict that
the outlook for peace is brighter. Nay
more, with Mr.. Smock's oratorical
powers in good working order, it may
be said in all confidence that peace
is assured; that the swords will be
beaten into pruning hooks and the
big guns became nesting places for
the swallows. Peace? It's a cinch.

Attack Repulsed

Six disconsolate boys and six sor-

street corner last evening. They
were hungry. The sorority girls had
a party and the six couples planned
a raid on the party's refreshments.
But their plans were frustrated.
After an animated conference, six
boys bought six bags of popcorn, and
shared them with the six girls, thus
appeasing their appetites but not
their feelings.

Advantages of Domestic Science

c. L. Gamage and his good wife
are strong partisans of the domestic
science department of the city schools,
and there is a reason. Both of their
children, John and Mary, are taking
the course. One of the requirements
is that each student shall do GER
tain amount of housework at home.
SO John gets up and builds the fires in
the morning, cooks breakfast and
washes the dishes. At night, Mary
gets supper and cleans up the work.
AS Mr.. Gamage is a member of the
school board, one can discern his fine
Italian hand in the requirements of
the domestic science department.
