miles of shifting sand dunes, and
would serve no purpose except to
shorten the distance of auto tourist
travel.
A small minority favors the. pres
ent road leading toward Black noun
tain, where is also several miles Of
bottomless sand to negotiate. The
majority seems to favor the river
route, by which all Of the producing
mines could be served. This route
would connect with the old river
road to Osborne's Well, thus elimi-
mating the Big Wash. through which
the supervisors claim it is impracti-
cable to build road.
Tuesday afternoon the board went
over the balance Of the river route
leading to Oshornes Well, or as
much as is passable at the present
time. This follows a hard mesa
about two miles east of the present
route, and is inexpensive to put in
to good condition From this point
they went to BOuse, and the follow
ing day came UP the route along the
railroad, taking the Bouse Wash
road into Parker
Upon arriving here Wednesday
noon Supervisors Donovan and Pro
ebstel favored constructing the high
way along the railroad as FAR as the
limits Of the reservation, stating
that they were assured the govern
ment would construct the balance Of
the road into Parker, which at the
very least would cost about $4,000.
The reason Che supervisors favored
this route Is because 1t would not
cost more than couple of thousand
dollars to build it from Bouse to the
reservation line.
Before leaving town Wednesday
afternoon it was suggested that$the
question of the route Of the county
highway leading from Parker be Left
to the taxpayers of Parker precinct.
This was agreed to by the board,
and for the purpose of getting the
various interests together meeting
has been called for Friday night,
May q, at the Commercial Bank.
Everybody interested in the pro
posed county highway is requested
to be present and express his views
upon the matter At this meeting
resolutions will be adopted suggest
ing to the board the route desired by
the people, here, ,and a petition will be
prepared asking that such route be
adopted at the next meeting of the
board OF supervisors, which Is to be
held the first of June.

In a Bad Fix.

Henry Turk. while returning from
trip across the river on his motor
cycle, one day last week, unw1ttingly
got himself into a tight place, one
equivalent to that of the fellow who
found himself between the devil
and the deep sea-" Joy riding was
fine and Henry was having a bully
time until he came to the Santa Fe
bridge. There he had to dismount
and push, his cycle over the ties as
the road bed Is not boarded. It was
a slow job but he was doing fairly
well and reached the middle of the
bridge when a train had to show up
behind him. Henry was in a bad fix,
He couldn't turn back, 1t was useless
to go ahead. he hated to throw the
cycle overheard as 1t would be lost
and yet It would be smashed if 1t
remained on the track. and to flag
the train was not to be thought OF
for very sufficient reasons. So he
took the only alternative and put his
machine as near the outer edges oi
the passageway as possible and trust
ed to luck. All the cars passed but
the steps of the caboose struck the
cycle and smashed the front wheel
thereof. Henry pushed his disabled
cycle home, barrow fashion, and has
since been riding a bicycle

UNITED STATES MAKES
IMPORTANT PURCHASE
President Wilson Breaks All Former
Records in Affecting Acquisition of
Danish West Indies.

WASHINGTON - President Wilson
practically has concluded negotiations
for the purchase of the Danish West
Indies, for the sum of S5,000,O0O A
treaty between Denmark and the Unit
ed States providing for the transfer of
the three small islands in the Antilles
has been drafted by Secretary Lansing
and Constantine Brun, the Danish
minister here. Every effort is being
put forth to insure perfect completion
of the deal while Germany, who in
terferred twice before, is too busy
fighting the allies to make another at
tempt Action in the matter is being
carried on with the utmost secrecy
and if the cession of the islands be
effected President Wilson will have
broken all records in the last fifty
years for the peaceful extension Of
American dominion and influence The
Danish West Indies consist of the
three small islands of st. CrOix, st.
Thomas and st. John, aggregating 1873
square miles and possessing pOpula-
ton of 27,0S6 persons, mainly free
negroes who are engaged in the cult
walton of sugar cane.
The islands are of stragetic import
dHCe, particularly III RELATION 10 lue
Panama canal, and acquisition of the
same would be regarded by the United
States as a violation of the Monroe
doctrine. This menace will be re-
moved by cession of the islands to the
United States In a former attempt
at negotiation of the purchase of the
islands, in 1867, by Seward, the treaty
failed of ratification by the senate.
Germany once attempted to buy the
islands but the United States warned
Denmark against the sale. Again in
1902 Secretary Hay negotiated thh
purchase for 100000, but the treaty
was rejected by the Danish parlia-
ment, as the result of German influ-
ence. 1t was recently thought that
Germany was trying to gain a foot
hold in the group.

BULL MEETING WANTS
ROAD BOND ISSUE
aLrge Gatherings at Opera House
Listen to Eloquent Talk by TheO-
dOre Turner.

BUHL-The sentiment of meeting
held Saturday night was decidedly in
favor of bonding the district for hard
surface roads leading to all parts of
the Bull Independent road district.
The meeting was held in the opera
house and was addressed by Hon.
Theodore Turner, of Pocatello, who in
troduced in the legislature the bills
providing for automobile licenses and
the state highway. Mr.. Turner's ad-
dress was listened to with great at
tention The figures in regard to the
cost and ways of securing the requir-
ed money for hard surfacing we're
quoted in the last issue of the Bull
Herald as follows:
Assuming that bond issue for good
roads, say in the amount of $4,000 90,
would be authorized, the question
would then be asked, naturally, how
could such a sum be repaid with in
terest without being a great burden
on the taxpayers of the road district
Twin Falls county is bonded for
$100 100000 for road and bridge pur-
poses These bonds bear 81 per cent
interest with no sinking fund for the
first ten years The annual interest
Is 90,0UU. III IOdQ numbers the ulOlOI
vehicle tax collected annually in this
county is $14,00O.OO. OF this sum one
fourth, or $3,5O0.00, goes to the state
and three-fourths, or $10,50000, re-
mains in the county OF this last sum
S550000 is applied on interest on
county road and bridge bonds, and the
balance, or 100000, is apportioned to
the Bull Highway district, which re-
ceives about one-fifth, or 100000
On the basis of the survey and esti-
mate of road from Bull to Castleford,
good average of all the roads in the
Bull Highway district, fifty miles of
crushed rock surfaced road could be
built for $170,000.00 Making a liberal
allowance for contingencies an issue
of 5000, 100000, ten-twenty bonds
which is less than one-half the bond
ing power of the district, would build
| fifty or more miles of permanent, rock
surfaced roads.
The assessed valuation of the Bull
| Highway district is $4,000, 10000, and
( the law allows a bond issue not to ex-
coed 10 per cent of the valuation
This would permit a maximum bond OF
! $43O, 100000

NO CHANGE IN
MEXICAN POLICY
General Intervention Not Being
Thought of In Washington
RELATIONS NOT REGARDED AS
UNDULY STRAINED.
State Department VIII Conduct NegO-
tiatiOn With Carranza De Facto
Government Direct.

WASHINGTON - Negotiations with
the Carranza government over dispo-
sition of American troops in Mexico
have been transferred to Washington
by failure OF Gems. Hugh l.. Scott,
Frederick Funston and Gen. Alvaro
Oregon, Mexican war minister, to
reach an agreement at El Paso. Here
after discussions will be conducted
through diplomatic channels directly
between President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing and Gen. Carranza and
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassa-
dOr-designate.
Despite the final break in the FL
Paso parleys, officials here do not APP
pear to consider the relations between
the American and Carranza govern
ments unduly strained.
1t was suggested that Gen. Carran-
"a, faced by the political situation in
Mexico, was unwilling to make any
written agreement to which his oppOn-
ents could point as indicating a sur
render of sovereign rights. Under that
theory, Gen Oregon, it is understood,
has given assurances that every posi-
BILE means will be employed by his
government to aid in the speedy eX-
termination of the bandits while the
formal diplomatic discussion Of the
withdrawal suggestion proceeds 1t is
possible that neither side will en-
deavOr to force the negotiations while
the disturbed condition along the bor-
der continues
Secretary Baker announced that no
change in the Mexican policy had been
decided upon. No new orders for mil
tia organizations to go to the bOr-
der were in contemplation, he said,
and indicated that no general inter
vention in Mexico was being thought
of at present
Renewed indications were given that
the administration has no intention of
withdrawing American troops until it
is definitely established that the dan
ger of further border raids has been
removed The administration consid-
ers the next move up to Gen. Car
rama
Secretary Baker has laid before the
cabinet latest information from Gen.
Scott and said that for the present he
thought there were sufficient Ameri-
can troops along the border to handle
the situation.
