MARY FRODSHAM BARKDULL
DIES AFTER SHORT ILLNESS

The many friends of Mrs. Eugene
Barkdull were shocked Sunday morn
ing by the announcement of her death
at her home after an illness of about
two days. Few of her friends in
American Falls even knew Of her ILL
ness before the announcement of her
death came.
Friday morning about 2:S0 Mrs.
Barkdull was seized with commissions
at her home on Fall Creek. Mr.. Bark
dull hastened to the residence of Will
Oliver, Mrs. Oliver being sister of
the deceased, and all hastily returned.
Mrs. Barkdull was unconscious upon
their arrival and remained so until
the end.
DR.. Logan was hastily summoned
from Rockland, and Drs. Starr and
Moth were later called in consulta-
ton, but all had been done thai could
be done, and peace came to the suf-
ferer about four O'Clock Sunday morn
ing.
Mrs. Barkdull was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. p. Frodsham, pioneers
of Rockland and was born and reared
there. She was married about year
ago, and was a frequent visitor to
American Falls with her husband.
She was young woman of exception
al character and culture, esteemed
wherever known on account of her
lovely graces. She was widely known
and her death occasioned genuine sor-
row in great many homes in ali parts
of the county.
Funeral services were held at
Rockland Monday, several hundred
people being in attendance, about fif-
ty of whom were from American
Falls and Pocatello. The greatest
sympathy is extended to the heart
broken husband, parents and brothers
and sisters, who are comfortless over
their great loss.

VOLUME XIV.
SECRETARY OF STATE BARKER
VISITS AMERICAN FALLS
Sheds New Light on the Huston Loans,
and Asks Only That He Be Judged
by the Same Standard as Other
Members of the Land Board.

Secretary of State George r. Barker
nesday, coming in from the Salmon
River tract, where he had been on an
inspection trip with Governor Alex
ander. He spent the day meeting
American Falls people, and left in the
evening for Pocatello
Mr.. Barker talked freely about the
Huston loans, which have brought
much criticism upon members of the
state land board, and asked that he
be judged by the same standard as
Governor Alexander, the only other
member of the board except Huston,
who was present when the loans were
made.
"The board had been prepared for
the action taken in granting the
loans," said Mr.. Barker" by what had
preceded their granting. The apprais-
ers had been laid off during the winter
monthe to reduce expenses. Mr.. Hus-
ton had mentioned in a former meet
ing Of the board that some Idaho
Falls people desired loans, and stated
that as he was going there on busi-
ness, he would make the appraise-
ments and had been authorized to do
so.
Governor Alexander and were not
surprised, therefore, when he present
ed the applications, with the appraise-
ments made by himself, and as we had
the money on hand, the loans we're
Immediately granted. Mr.. Huston
urged that as no expense had been
incurred in making the appraise-
ment that It did not appear to be fair
to charge the borrowers the usual ap-
praisement fee. Governor Alexander
thought this was fair, and moved that
the one per cent fee be waived and
I seconded the motioon. The loan
was as regular as any other made, so
far as Governor Alexander and / were
concerned. I was as much surprised
as anyone when the disclosure came.
"As soon as the loan was granted
Auditor Houston had warrants drawn
for the loans and took them to Gov
ernor Alexander and had them sign
ed. ! did not know that the warrants
were signed before the abstracts OF
title had been received and approved
No member Of the state land board
except Mr.. Houston and the governor
knew this, and no members of the
board except Mr.. Houston and the
governor are responsible for any ir-
regularity connected with the loan.
All / have a right to ask is that
judgment be made on the facts in the
case, and that i be judged by the
same standard used in Judging the
governor"

FLYING MACHINE SIGHTED.

Senator X. d. Houtz, alighting from
Number II Wednesday evening, an
nounced that a flying machine had
just passed over the northern part Of
town, headed westward. He said it
was flying low, apparently not more
than five or six hundred feet up, ahd
travelling fast. 1t was so low that
smoke could be seen coming from the
engine. The representative OF the
Press, to whom the senator related
the story, thought he was joking, and
asked the senator what he had been
taking. The senator insisted that he
was serious, and that DR.. and Mrs.
Logan had also seen the aircraft,
when the train was near the stock
yards.

WE TAKE OFF OUR
HATS TO GERMANY

Germany has done much, very much.
TO advance world progress, and in this
one respect We must make to her our
sincere acknowledgements for world
advancement, and not the least of
these is her successful crossing over
to this country with her wonderful
submarine boat, the Deutschland. 1t
has really called out Americas great
est admiration. The feat is indeed
very wonderful, and even II the feat
opened up no greater potentialities, 1t
would indeed be very wonderful and
finally dramatic. But that is not all,
the possibility OF greater feats to fol-
low is the thing that fires our imagi-
nation.
Captain Koenig declared dramati-
cally that this achievement had broken
England's rule OF the seas, and
American naval officers at Washing
ton are very much inclined to take
seriously that boast. The Deutchland's
right to enter and clear from neutral
ports can not be challenged II Port
Collector Ryan Of Baltimore has made
a correct report. She carries no guns,
is manned by merchant crew, car
ried a cargo and is not warship in
any sense. The mere fact that she
can dive and dodge enemy raiders has
not the slightest adverse bearing on
her rights in the neutral harbors OF
the world. She has as clear a right
to bring us dyestuffs and return with
crude rubber and nickel as a British
merchant vessel to come into the Co
iumbia river for wheat. salmon and
lumber.
II vessels of the Deutchland type
can run the blockade, the blockade
may cease to exist Her captain says
she earned enough by bringing ST.
100000 worth OF dyestuffs to the Unit
ed States to pay her owners outright
for her construction cost. II she
should get back safely to a German
port her chievement would be power
full incentive to the speedy building
of others OF her type.--Idaho Falls

the loaning OF the funds thus realiz-
