Because Adler-i-ka lushes the

MANY DEMOCRATS GET
STATE POSITIONS

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 3f.=Resig-
nations from and appointments
to state positions took place at
the state house yesterday. The
official family of the Democratic
party which takes charge Of the
state government IN the future is
not as yet completed as to its
personnel, but many Of the more
important appointments are dis
posed of.
designations that automatical-
ly go into into effect tomorrow
are: John Shook, warden of the
state penitentiary; Dr.. Ralph
Falk, secretary of the state board
of health; Dr.. E. E. Laubaugh,
state bacteriOlOgist. . Their sue
cessOrs will not be named until
the new board of health convenes.
1t was said yesterday that DR.. w.
R. Hamilton may succeed DR.. Falk
as secretary of the board of
health.
The term Of Office of Axel p.
Ramstedt, president of the pub
lie utilities commission, expires a
week from tomorrow, or Jan. 8.
There is widespread speculation
at the state house as to what ac-
ton the governor will take in re-
gard to this position. There are
many Democrats in all parts of
the state who believe they can fill
the post with credit. While
President Ramstedt is a Repub-
lican, it is said the governor is
not particularly anxious to make
a change. 1t is possible he may
permit the position to remain in
the hands of President Ramstedt
indefinitely.
While there has been talk of
consolidating the pure food and
board of health, vital statistics,
etc, departments nothing definite
has been settled upon. DR.. Ham
ilton, president of the board of
health, held a conference with
the governor yesterday afternoon
and the matter was discussed.
Pure Food Commissioner j. X.
White is still in charge of the
pure food department and will
continue to hold that Office after
the first of the new year.

return, covering a distance of 1910
miles in a week.
Thus, what all the good roads
propaganda for the past fifteen years
has failed to achieve, the freight car
shortage and a national crisis have
accomplished. The public has been
forced to make greater use of it's
greatest transportation asset - the
country road.
The truck line from Akron to Bos-
ton is called the Akron & Boston
Express" The present equipment con-
sists of four farm trucks of one and a
half. three and five ton capacity. It
is planned to increase the equipment.
A regular schedule is maintained.
The schedule calls for the round trip,
1,51O miles, in less than one week
The express companies, it is said, do
not deliver stuff as rapidly as that,
and the truck costs are competing
with express rates.
Service was started last April and
it is hoped to continue thru the win
ter unless it be stopped by too much
ice and snow. There is only twenty
eight miles of unimproved road, which
bothers considerably in muddy
weather. The poor condition of some
old wooden and steel bridges is an
other handicap.
The country road is at last coming
into view as the railroad of tomorrow.

If you will consult a sufficiently
large-scale map of ireland and look
at a spot in the Atlantic some ten
miles off the west coast, half way be-
tween the bays of Sligo and Donegal.
you will find, if the photographer in
question has done his work conscien-
tiously, a little green spot which rep
resents the island of Innishmurray.
The long title of this tiny speck of
land trails on the map like a comets
tail, over lea CUES of the blue Atlantic.
and in a similar fashion does the
trail of its reputation extend inland
into Sligo and Donegal
If you will consult the English au-
thorities in the aforementioned coun-
ties, they may invite you to visit In
n1shmurray for yourself. If you seek
for Information at the Sligo County
Council. you may learn the truth, told
perhaps not without a certain sympa-
thy, digPified appreciation of the
humor of the case. Also, you will be
advised not to visit Innishmurray
without first taking pains to make
known the unofficial nature of your
business. Otherwise you may be taken
for the tax-collector, and granted a
warmer reception than you like For
that is the fatal secret of Innishmur-
ray: 1t pays no taxes. 1t is not es-
pecially exempt by act of parliament
1t gets its exemption from the strate-
gic value of it's situation and the de-
termination of its inhabitants
Innlshmurray is a small bit of an
island, with a fishing population OF
perhaps hundred souls. There is no
regular passenger or mail service. 1t
lies on no steamer route. The people
ra1se enough vegetables to balance
their diet of fish, and when thew nc n
sundry other comforts of civilization
| they visit the mainland in their own
boats. When the tax-collector calls
upon them they are prone to meet
him with a volley of stones. and as a
result. the said collectors have OF, en-
been unable even to hire a boat to
make the trip. At last reports- In
nishmurray was not only persistiny in
its attitude of defiance. hut SETTING
away with it.
