AUTOS COLLIDE IN POCATELLO

An automobile accident occurred
yesterday a THE corner of Center and
Main street, which resulted in the two
cars which collided being badly
smashed up, and one of the occupants
of one of the cars suffering a broken
hand and the other being badly cut
around the head. One of the cars
in the accident was the Oakland car
of Gus Spongberg, the coffee mer-
chant on South Main street. The
Spongberg car was running on Main
street and the other car driven by
a man from American Falls, was pro-
ceeding east on Center street headed
towards the viaduct, and it is stated
travelling at good rate in order to
get start for the viaduct climb.
The Spongberg car was in the mid
die of the street and altho, it is said,
the driver of the American Falls car
applied the brakes he could not stop
in time and struck the Spongberg car
in the midle throwing it to one side.
Windshields and lights were smashed
btu no one in the Spongberg car was
hurt. Messrs. Tussing and Collier,
two residents of American Falls, were
the injured persons in the other car.
One suffered broken hand and both
were considerably cut by flying glass.

SAYS DEMOCRATS HAVE
SPOILED ANTITRUST LAW

WASHINGTON, D. C.-"The high
price of Of gasoline, which affects
the owner of every automobile in the
country as well as all business houses
which use gasoline trucks; the high
price Of print paper, which has af-
fected every newspaper and publica-
ton in the United States, particularly
the owners of the smaller news
papers; the high price of binder
Irvine, which is costing the farmers
millions of dollars-all these increas-
ed expenses affecting millions Of our
citizens and costing them billions of
unnecessary expense, is due to the
Wilson administration and the Demo-
cratic party declared Representa-
tive Halvor Stevenson, of Minnesota,
in a statement here today.
''The Democratic party promised
economy and gave us extravaganza.
It promised lower cost of living, but
it has gone up and is still going up.
1t promised to curb monopoly, but
the Democrats have pulled the teeth
out of the antitrust law by the Clay
ton act to such an extent that we
are now in the grip of some of the
most rapacious trusts in the world.
"When l sought to get the govern
ment to prosecute them for violating
the antitrust law the Department of
Justice could not find sufficient evil
dence, altho the secretary of the in
terror, the bureau of Mines. and the
Trade commission investigat-
ed the subject and reported there was
no natural or economic cause for the
increase in prices and it must be due
to monopolizatioE.
"The paper trust has gradually
raised the price of paper so that
many of the smaller newspapers may
have to go out of business. The set
tiers who furnish the pulp wood have
been paid the same old price but the :

TEUTONS PRESS THEIR

Allies Continue Gains ON Western
Front; Rumanians Gain
Positions

Field Marshall Won Mackensen,
commanding the forces of the central
powers against the Russians and Ru-
manians in Dubrudja, has carried on
a successful drive for several weeks,
meeting with fierce resistance, but
making Roadway. The Russians now
hold just little of Galicia.
The Serbs continue to hold out
stubbornly in Macedonia, and have
made some advances around Mona
stir.
The first of this week the British
took three miles of German trench
in the Thiepval region, the Regina
trench, long coveted by the allies and
stoutly chung to by the Teutons.
There were extensive dugouts and
comfortable quarters underground
for miles. BY a most severe bonn
bardment and curtain fire the Brit
ish succeeded in breaking down all
resistance and now occupy the
trench. With the clear weather the
offensive north of the Somme is re-
sumed and the gains being made as
regularly as before the recent bad
weather, which hinders the gunners.
