ARM BADLY FRACTURED
EnAGTUNC

p. N. Huffman was in town Tuesday
from beyond Greencreek with his
young som who recently suffered a
badly broken arm. The lad was coast
ing near the house and the family
dog got into the tract of the sled. The
boy turned out to miss the dog and ran
full tilt into the cellar, dislocating the
right arm at the elbow and fracturing
the bones badly. He was taken to
Grangeville and an X-ray photo was
taken of the joint and the fracture
reduced. However, the break is a bad
one and 1t is impossible to say whether
any permanent injury will result or

they voted to hold the next state
meeting at Moscow. The meetine
this year was the twenty-first ami,
versary OF the organization, and sew.
eral states held their meetings OH the
same date celebrating their majority
There are a numb Der of camps thru.
out this state, but all did not send
delegates. Despite the distance one
has to travel from the northern part
OF the state the ladies' representing
the camps in that section were pres.
ent and enthused the order by the re-
port of the work done by their sew
eral camps.
After appointing committees ad-
journment was taken until p. m.
Just after the lunch hour the ladies
employed the time in going over the
new office Of The Idaho Republican
and seeing what an improvement the
new quarters will be over those of
many country weeklies in the state.
The afternoon session Of the camp
was made interesting to the members
by the many reports Of the diff
ficulties overcome by the several
camps ana the hopes of what can be
accomplished in the future. The
ladies appointed to fill the vacant
stations were, Mrs. Jennie Thompson
Boise, past oracle; Mrs. Smith
Blackfoot, chancellor; Mrs. Kerns,
Malad, Marshall; Mrs. Martin, Poca-
tello, assistant marshall; Mrs. Can
ham, Moscow, inner sentinel The
election resulted as follows: Mrs.
Morden, of Idaho Falls, state oracle;
Mrs. Canham, Moscow, vice oracle;
Mrs. Jennie Thompson, Boise, record
err; Mrs. Harris, Blackfoot and Mrs.
Bamber, Athol, delegates to the ma
tlonal camp which will be held in
Buffalo, N. Y. in May. The meeting
then adjourned as a state camp and
ri e evening was given over to the
program prepared by the local camp.
Mrs. Dietrich was presented with
a writing portfolio in leather as a
memento of the esteem of the neigh
bors for her efficient work in the
past three years for the several
camps thruout the state A mahog-
any chocolate set was sent to the
supervising deputy who was unable
tn be present on account of sickness.
The evening session followed an
elaborate fve-course banquet given
the delegates and visitors of the
camp by the local order which was
furnished by the ladies of the Baptist
church and served in the basement
Of the building. The tables were
decorated in appropriate colors of
the order and souvenir cards in the
colors, purple and white, were rest
ing against sticks of candy in the
same colors tied with white ribbon.
Those in charge of the banquet re-
ceived great praise for the decora-
tions as well as the menu served.
The program of the evening was
given before the regular session of
the camp when several candidates
were initiated. Miss Ennor gave a
violin solo as the opening number
which was followed by the address
of Welcome by Mrs. Archer, who well

coined all to the city and its many
beautiful buildings as we'll as to the
homes and camp room. Her address
was responded to by Mrs. Dietrich,
retiring state oracle, in which she
expressed her thanks and those of
the delegates present for the man
ner in which they were entertained
by the local order. Miss Inez Sim
mons gave a vocal solo and respond
ed to the encore. Muriel Sorrel en-
tertained the guests with splendid
reading followed by piano duet by
Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Sloan. The
ladies drill team of Malad put on a
pretty pennant drill. All wore white
costumes and shoes with purple cord
girdle and carried the purple PEN
nants with white lettering. They
will compete with the teams of Utah
for the prizes offered by the organ
ization for this spring and the
order in Idaho expect them to be
winners not only for their camp but
for Idaho.
The sash drill by several little girls
Of Blackfoot was another feature of
the evening. Mrs. Archer had spent
good deal of time with the little
folks and they did her credit by the
manner in which they did their work.
The winding of the May pole in the
lodge colors was very effective.
The local camp deserve great
credit for the work of initiating the
six candidates and their drills. All
wore white with the purple sashes
and as they are so evenly matched in
size they made a good appearance on
the floor. Before the close of the
session the delegates from the several
lodges expressed their appreciation of
the hospitality shown them while in
town. Blackfoot will be remembered
all over the state by the visitors as
the home of generous hospitality and
good will.
Three men had the courage to at
tend the meetings and banquet given
by the ladies. While it is distinctly
a ladies' order there are few male
members and those present enjoyed
the meetings..

STATE LIBRARY

A great many people over the state
do not know that the state keeps a
large library of books that can be
borrowed by individuals, clubs or
others without cost except the post
up of the very best books on most
any subject, sent out in boxes order
ed by schools or other Libraries and
is called the travelling library. The
loan library consists of many humid
red books that can be secured by
writing to the state librarian and
complying with the regulations for
the loan Of such books. If club
is studying any subject and their
home library does not have the books
on that subject they can be secured
from the state by paying the postage
each way which Is only few cents.
If one does not know just what
book he does want If he will state
the subject the state librarian will
send the book which in her judgment
covers the ground most thoroly. The
people do not need to live in Boise
to make use of the state library, but
can get the books in any part of the
state. which Is sometimes a great
benefit. Any school can have one
of the regular cases filled with the
books they may care for and use
them for four months free then have
a new case with another set of books
and so have them change every few
months. The only cost to the school
would be getting them to and from
the place Of shipment. No doubt
many of the rural schools would be
glad to take advantage of this free
distribution of the best reading mat
ter and by dropping letter to the
state librarian, Mrs. Marie Schneider,
Boise, they will get the necessary in
formation by the next mail and can
soon have a library in their room
with many excellent books on all sub
jects as we'll as some fiction.

and If he fails to do SO any one else
may enter upon such land and de-
stroy them and all costs and expenses

county commissioners shall create
such districts and appoint suitable
persons in each district to act as

WHY RAILROADS FAIL

Financial New York was some
what astonished by the statement of
the railway executives advisory COM
mittee that there are $4,000 miles of
American railroads in the hands OF
receivers. This is about one-sixth
of the total railway mileage and Is
the largest number of miles under
receivership in the history of the
country. The committee attributes
this condition, in large measure, to
the fact that there are 40 different
sets of commissions and legislatures
regulating the affairs of railroads.
The result of this multiplicity of
regulatory authorities is confusion
and costly duplication of operating
expenses. This conflict of regula-
lions has been accompanied by re-
duction of rates. The situation has
become so serious that many of even
the most prosperous roads find great
difficulty in discharging their obliga-
ton of adequate service to the pub
lie and paying dividends to their
share holders. "
Some of the aspects of this serious
situation have their humorous side.
For example: One state says there
must be cuspidor between each two
seats in a car. The next state will
have none of the vulgar and unsani-
tary utensil. Cuspidors must, accord
ingly, be removed at state lines. An
other state demands window-screens
in passenger cars. The adjoining
state forbids them. The poor old
freight caboose comes in for maui
ing that costs the railroads good
money. Fifteen states insist on two
four-wheel trucks while the rest are
content with one fourwheeler. Eigh-
teen feet has been considered good
length for claboose. Thirteen
states however, have passed laws
making them not less than "a feet
long. Mississippi has raised the limit
to 20 feet and Maine has gone one
better. Wrangles over the exact !
width of caboose platforms have
whiled away many an idle hour for
state legislators. Eight states insist
on "a inches Illinois and Missouri
don't like this at all but agree that
80 inches is just rich. Iowa allows
IS inches and Nebraska 20. These
are only few of the humorous as
poets. When this same conflict ap-
pears in rate-making and regulation
of bond issues the humOr fades. r

SPELLING CONTEST

March 80 Is the day set for hold
ing the spelling contest in all the
schools of the county. After the re-
port on the contest is decided the
winners in the several schools will
come to Blackfoot for final contest
at some time in the near future the
date of which has not been settled
as yet.
The careless habit that has grown
very rapidly over the country of mis-
spelling so many words has aroused
the county superintendent to the
need of making more of an effort for
better spelling and this is one of the
efforts being put forth to arouse in
terest in the study. The old-time
spelling bees, as many of the middle
aged people remember, has long been
out of date but there is an effort to
revive it and thus get more people
interested in the matter.

THROUGH PULLMAN TO PHOENIX AND BACK
 SECURED FOR BISBEE
Long Fight for Better Sleeping Car Accommodations to Phoenix and Return Ends in Success for the South.

Bisbee and Douglas have at last won a fight for through Pullman service to Phoenix and return. The first part of the week the Arizona Corporation Commission, in response to arguments put forward by residents of the Co- chise. cities, issued an order which will compel the Pullman company to attach a car directly out of Phoenix through Tucson to Douglas. This car will leave Douglas nightly, on the Golden State limited for Phoenix over the same. route.
 Many months ago a through Pull man service was established between Tucson and Phoenix. Upon leaving Phoenix, and taking the Pullman, the passenger found is necessary to change cars about 3 o'clock in the morning. The Pullman was switched off at Tue son and remained there until the fol lowing night when it was sent back to Phoenix. Upon leaving Bisbee or Douglas for Phoenix it was necessary to stay up from either of the towns to Tucson. Then, if the Tucson peo- pie didn't take the reservations in the Pullman, they were assigned to peo- pie from this region of the state.
 It was pointed out that the chief ob jection to the plan lay in the South ern Pacific because the establishment of through Pullman to Douglas would give passengers an all night ride through Southern Arizona, out of Phoenix. and no change would be necessary until the following morning. It was also shown where the Tucson people did not need the acc2modation as most of them went to Phoenix and returned to Tucson over other trains than the Golden State Limited.
 The service will be started as soon as possible and will mean a great i'm provement for the travelling public along the line of the Fl Paso and Southwestern.

ROpLES MOVEMENT IS
 MUCH OVERESTIMATED
Communication from Mexico Indicates that Rebel Leader
 Is Short Handed.
(By Review Leased Wire)

FL PASO, Jan. "A statement of his movements in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, has been received here by partisan from Jose Robles, self styled General in Chief of the Army of Re storation of the Republic" which in- dicates that rumors reaching the bor- der have exaggerated the importance of his successes at least up to Novem- Der 30, the date of the communication. Although he crossed the state of OaXa- ca from the Puebla frontier to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec during the past October and November with what he terms a division, the towns and villages visited do not appear on or dinary maps and he speaks of a skir- mish at only one point. After captur- ing an abandoned train, he moved back into Oaxaca, according to his report.
 The narrative opens on October 4. Robles, it says, attained Mogone on the Tehuantepec railroad on November 2 There he forced some government troops to abandon a train from which some arms, saddles and horses were taken. At Jalapa, a small town near Tehuantepec. he drove out the garri- son. Before evacuating, the Constitu- tionalists set fire to the buildings.
 The cry of Robles, affixed to his proclamation, is Constitution, Reform and Peace"

HURLEY RESIGNS FROM
 TRADE COMMISSION
Chairman of Federal Trade Commission Says Personal
 Business Is Suffering.
(By Review Leased Wirel

NBy ReEleW Leased wire!
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the federal trade commission, resigned today to resume his business in Chicago, which he told President Wilson was suffering from his absence. The resignation was ac- cepted, although the President will urge MT. Hurley to change his mind.
 The chairman will leave the com mission February l. and Vice Chair man Harris automatically will succeed him.
 MT. Hurley denied reports that he was getting out because of differences with other commissioners over the conduct of the newsprint paper and other investigation.
 This resignation makes two vacan- cies on the commission. Commissioner Rublee left at the expiration of the last congress when the Senate, again failed to confirm his nomination, and the place has never been filled.

IS THERE A PAPER TRUST?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Attorney General Gregory today took over the yield of the federal trade commissions inquiry into the print paper market with a view to determining whether there is paper trust, and to insitut- inv civil and criminal proceedings against manufacturers or others who may have violated the antitrust laws.
 President Wilson is understood to be following the inquiry closely. A mass of complaints and testimony and large number of secret reports from the commissions field force of in- vestigators have been placed in the attorney generals hands.
