of democracy that will be used, and
there is some fears expressed that it
will be overworked on that occasion.
There is to be a real fight put up
against the retention OF Robert Elder
as national committeeman, and there
have been compiled that this fight
will have a determining influence on
the nomination announcements.
The last week was the most active
so far as the work of the state land
board that has been experienced for
several months past. There we're i'm
portant meetings every day, and a
great deal Of work was accomplished.
Probably the hardest task to which
the land board has set itself is the ef-
fort that is being made to reduce the
number OF employees, and to so or
ganize the work that matters will be
attended to In time and at the same
time that the most will be made OF
the state opportunity to foster its
school and cher trust funds, while
helping forward the advancement of
the state. 1t was noted that the work
OF the office is as far in arears al
though the heads OF the different de-
partments and the clerks had all been
working overtime. There are at pres
ent nearly five hundred land sale GER
tiflcates to be issued. Loans on farm
lands to the number OF over 300 have
been made since January /, 1916, and
application for such loans to the
amount of over $500, 900 are at hand
and still Enacted on. over $50 land
leases have been granted since the
first OF the year and nearly as large
a number are still to be considered.
The use of the prisoners in the PEN
itentiary In the making OF state high
ways Is to be continued. On Thurs
day last a party OF fifty Of the men
were %entrained here bound for Lewis
ton and the Whitebird section where
they will work throughout the coming
summer. The work to be done is in
the improvement of the wagon road
extending along Salmon river from
Whitebird to Riggin, and then up the
Little Salmon to New Meadows, where
connection will be made with an ex-
cellent automobile road. The road
along Salmon river was built by the
state fifteen or sixteen years ago, and
although furnishing an important ar
terry OF travel, was not built for use
of motor cars. ~Scenically 1t is one
OF the most beautiful drives In the
United States and when the road has
been turnpiked as will be done under
the direction of the state highway de.
partments. It is anticipated will pro.
vide a favorite and much used route
for those going from one portion o.
the state to the other.

LANDS ELIMINATED FROM
THE TARGHEE FOREST

On April 81 President Wilson sign
ed an executive order, eliminating
from the Targhee National forest, In
southern Idaho, a number of scatter
ing tracts of land, situated along the

areas eliminated comprise a total OF
nearly $500 acres, of which, however,
only 1880 acres, or slightly over one
fourth, is government land, the re-
mainder being tracts which are al
ready privately owned. OF the 1850

value for agricultural purposes, and
upon completion Of the recent land
classification survey OF the Targhee
forest, the above eliminations were
recommended by the forest service.
The government lands eliminated from
the forest are o under the juris-
diction of the land office at Blackfoot,
