ROAD BOND PLAN
GETS BAD JOLT
County Board Finds Supreme
Court Made 1t ImpraCtiCabIe
BUHL DISTRICT WOULD VOTE ON
MATTER WITHOUT BENEFIT.
Ruling Made In GOOding County Case
New Road District Possible Re-
sult-Buhl Wants Big Sum.

The proposition to issue bonds for
Improvement of the roads of Twin
Falls county and divide the proceeds
with the Buhl highway district has
run up against a snag in the shape of
supreme court decision from Good
ing county, which declares that while
the county as whole, including the
separate Independent districts, can
vote bonds, the proceeds thereof can
not be used within the independent
districts and the county cannot set
aside money from such sale for the
Independent districts use.
In the Gooding county case, most of
the county had been divided before the
bonds were issued and if the bonds
had actually been disposed of, a great
sum OF money would have been avail
able for a very small piece of terri
tory. Of course, as the people in the
Buhl district would be taxed to raise
the meney, and would then be depriv-
ed totally of its use, they could be
depended on to vote sOlidly against
any issue.
The county commissioners visited
Bull recently to discuss the matter
with the people there. They found
quite strong sentiment in favor OF
voting 100000 for improvements
within the Bull district, which in the
opinion of the board would probably
prevent satisfactory adjustment in
any event, as at the same rate the
total issue for the county would be 81
10000, which the board members be-
lieve could not be carried, even if they
should deem it advisable to submit it
County Attorney John r. Davies is
making another examination of the
law to see if any modification of the
decision named can be found, OF
whether any amendment of the sta.
tutes governing the subject has beer
enacted since the decision was handed
down. If not, the only way in which
bond issue for the rest of the coun.
ty could be submitted would be
through the creation of another inde
pendent district including all parts o
the county not comprised in the Buh
Independent district In order to sub
nit this proposition to the voters i
would be necessary for a petition fol
the creation of such district to be fill
ed by residents of the county. Should
such district be created, it would tax,
the management of the roads out O.

EXPRESS COMPANY TO LOOK
AFTER SOLDIERS FAMILIES
dependents Not to Suffer Through
Enlistment of Bread Winners in Ma
tiOnal Guard.

Telegraphic instructions recently
sent out by President Taylor of the
American Express company to the Of
ficials along the line have been re-
ceived by Fred Hale, local agent of
the company here, stating that all re-
gular salaried employees who are
married men, as well as all single
men, who have relatives dependent on
them for support, who as members of
the national guard prior to June 18th,
1916, have responded to the presi-
dents call for military service, will
receive sufficient salary to make up
any deficiency between the govern
ment allowance and the rate of pay
which they have hitherto been draw
ing. For single men without depend
ent relatives, an allowance will be
made to them sufficient to make up
one-half of the salary which they
draw regularly from the company
This provision will remain in oper-
alton until December 31st, 1916, after
which further consideration will be
given. depending upon the political
situation between Mevico and this
country.
The American Express company
has also arranged for welcoming back
into its service all enlisted employees
who make application to return with
ip 80 days after they are mustered out
of the federal service.
1t has also announced that military
service would not interfere with the
continuity of the service of those en-
ployees who return to the company in
regard to the benefit and pension sys-

welfare organizations cannot be made
applicable while employees are not ac-
tually working for the company

RECRUITING STATION
TAKES MEN FOR MILITIA
New Orders From Washington Gives
Volunteers Option Of Enlisting For
Only One Year.

According to orders received Mon
day morning from the war department
through the Salt Lake offices, the To-
cal recruiting station for the United
States army will also recruit for the
Idaho and Utah militias in the western
department. The men enlisted here
will be sent to Fort Douglas, Utah,
there to await further orders.
Corporal James Riley, in charge of
the local station, states that under the
new rulings passed by congress, it
VIII be possible for applicants who
SO desire, to sign up for only one
years enlistment instead of the three
or four year terms in effect hereto
fore. Under the old system, applicants
desiring to be released at the end of
one years enlistment had to pay $120
except in special cases in which the
soldier had relatives dependent upon
him for support. This will not be nee
essary under the new law and no
charge will be made whatsoever.

VAST POTASH FIND
INBOX Elder, UTAH
Twin Falls People Discover What
Promises to Be Bonanza
GREAT QUANTITIES OF ALUM
MIXED IN THE LEDGE.
Potash Now Sells For Si25 Ton And
Refined Alum Brings 25 Cents a
Pound at Wholesale.

A large number of Twin Falls peo-
pie have been stalking out claims with
in the past few weeks upon a vast
potash ledge in Box Elder county,
Utah, about 20 miles south of Oakley.
where deposits of immense value both
in potash and alum are believed to
exist The tests made so far have
shown the presence of $50 pounds per
ton in potash and a fifteen percent
age of alum. AS the ledge from which
the tests were made measures 20 feet,
the potential wealth OF the beds can
not be computed since potash has ad-
vanced from $50 a ton to S425 ton,
and the wholesale price of refined
alum has arisen to twenty-five cents
a pound since the beginning of the
war. So rich is the ledge in the last
substance, that it is said to boil out
during the summer under the rays of
the sun
The deposit was originally discover
ed by j. c. Montgomery, while con-
Quoting a saw mill in the neighbor-
hood. He thought nothing of the mat
ter until he learned in a conversation
with Harry Beals, that potash had be-
come extremely valuable as a result
| Lingelbach went to the place, staked
out claims and had tests made to as
certain the value of the find On
learning that it was likely to prove a
bonanza, they let a number of their
friends in on the secret, with the re-
suit that a number of Twin Falls peo-
pie have slipped over quietly and TAX
en- up claims. 1t is expected that a
company will soon be organized for
the purpose of mining and marketing
the products.
There is company operating a
potash plant some distance from the
newly discovered deposits and nego-
iations are said to be under way to in
terest this concern in the production
of the potash and alum found in the
big ledge on which the people of this
/ city have claims

Asserting that the Twin Falls-Sal-
mon River Land and Water company
continues to refuse to do the things
that are needful for the success of the
Salmon project, and that the situation
has reached a stage where drastic ac-
ton is necessary, the eighty entrymen
in attendance at the settlers meeting
at Hollister Monday afternoon unan-
imously adopted a resolution to be
forwarded to the land board and in
dividually signed a petition asking the
state to commence action as provid-
ed in the company's contract with the
state, to forfeit the rights of the COM
pany under the contract
Petitions have been prepared and
are now being circulated throughout
the tract endorsing the action of the
Hollister meeting, and joining with
that meeting in requesting the state
board of land commissioners to take
the action suggested. The petitions
and the resolutions adopted at Hollis
! ter will be forwarded to Governor
Alexander by w. F. Mikesell, who act
ed as chairman of the meeting, not
later than Thursday The governor
has intimated that he will present the
matter to the land board promptly
with such recommendation as he may
wish to make.
The settlers action was taken as
the result of a series of statements
made by Governor Alexander and 9TH
er officials of the land board, that the
Salmon settlers were unable to agree
upon any specific line of procedure.
The petition follows:
whereas, the Twin Falls-Salmon
River Land & Water Company, Ltd,
has failed to provide for the reclama-
ton of lands on the Salmon River
segregation, in accordance with the
provisions of its contract with the
state; and b
'Whereas, for several successive
years it has failed to provide for the
successful irrigation Of even such
lands in the project as are being

cultivated, to say nothing of the thou
sands of acres which the owners, at
considerable loss, have not attempted
to bring under cultivation, or have
abandoned for the time being, owing
to the inadequacy of the water supply
provided; and
Whereas, the company having fail
ed and refused to do any of the things
necessary for the success of the pro-
ject; it having failed and refused to
comply with its contract with the
state; it having ignored all demands
made upon it that it provide for the
successful reclamation Of at least a
portion of the lands embraced in the
project; and it being impossible for
the settlers farming at present on
said project to exc out a mere exist
ence from their labors, or to secure
title from the government to their
lands;
Wherefore, we, entrymen on the
Salmon River segregation, at a mass
meeting held at Hollister on this oath
day of July, 1916, for the purpose of
making our wishes in the premises
known to your honorable board, again
respectfully petition your honorable
board to at once bring such an action
as provided by the company's con
tract with the state, to bring about the
aunulment of said contract.
"This we ask in order that the state
of Idaho and the settlers on that pro
ject may be free to proceed to dc
whatever things may be necessary for
the success of the project and the ac-
complishment of the purposes of the
segregation.
eve would particularly call your at
tention to the fact that this request is
the unanimous desire of the entrymen
present at this public mass meeting
whose names are hereunto affixed
And we would further direct your at
tention to our petition dated Novem-
Der 20, 1915, containing the same re-
quest, presented to your honorable
board at the time of its meeting with
the settlers at Hollister on that date

POSTAL FROM NOGALES SHOWS
SOLDIERS BORDER POSITION

A postal card from Lieutenant Ar
thur d. Hughes of the Second infantry,
n. G. l., to ]. E. White of this city,
shows the present position of the Ida
no troops on the Mexican border.
Lieutenant Hughes writes that the
boys are working hard from a. m.
to 7:15 D. m, but that this is compen-
stated for by the fact that the officers
of the regular army congratulate the
Idaho contingent on being the best
national guard organization in camp,
a worthy compliment when it is con-
sidered that some of the oldest organ
izations in the east are encamped
there.

REPORT OF OLIVER
DEATH is FALSE
Letter Received by Rev. J +. Shep-
herd Proves That He Was Well
Early Last Week.

That the report circulated on the
streets Saturday to the effect that DR..
French e. Oliver had died in Los An
geles of typhoid fever is undoubtedly
false is the statement of DR.. j. F.
Shepherd, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, today. DR.. Shepherd said that
in the first place, the death of so
prominent a man as DR.. Oliver would
be noted in the public press, and in
the second he had received a letter
written Tuesday by Rev. A. E. Osborn,
of Los Angeles, who said that he had
been referred to DR.. Shepherd for GER
tain information by DR.. Oliver. At
that time DR.. Oliver was well, so that
the typhoid report was false.
