NEW COMPANY DRILLING

A new company has been formed

'sary.
Mr.. Herseman recently received a
report on the Fossil field oil from
federal government experts. The
report says that the oil is the high

THE NEED OF BORAH

Senator Borah will be told by his
friends in Idaho, as he has been told
by his friends the nation over, that
he is needed in the United States
senate and the councils Of the nation.
Certainly there is no question as to
his being needed in Idaho.
Senator Borah has been requested
and urged by the people of Idaho to
permit his name to again be used as
candidate for the office that he SO
ably fills. It is hoped and expected
that by the time his present term ex-
pires the war issues will have been
settled, SO far as the actual physical
conflict is concerned. The after-War
issues will be just as difficult Of adj
justment, and as well balanced
minds and as firm hands will be
needed on the ship of state then as
now. The period of adjustment after
the war will need as great states
manship as the nation needs now,
and men seasoned in the work will
be required
1t is we'll realized that in again
consenting to make the race for U.
8. senator personal sacrifice is en-
tailed, Senator Borah has had con-
ferred upon him all of the honors
that his state can give and certainly
he has earned the right to retire
from active public life and take up
the matters of personal interest and
begin to lay by that which is needed
for future years and which his pres
emit position does not permit 1t will
be a sacrifice to make the campaign
when he could retire filled with
honors, but Borah is not the calibre
OF man to retire when he is needed,
and he may be counted upon to be
factor, big factor, IN the settlement
which Is to. come. Borah IL better
known and appreciated from with
out the state than within, but that
Is to be expected.
The nation needs Borah and his
state certainly does.-Idaho Falls

Farewell, SECOND IDAHO

The Second Idaho il headed for
war;
For a time the regiment from the
Gem state win be in training camp
and then-to France.
We may not know when the boys
go to the front, but whenever it may
be the big heeart of Idaho will go
with them and the prayers Of the
people for a safe return.
One may only speculate with mis-
givings as to the duration of the
war. The clouds do not seem to be
perceptibly lifting. The conflict may
be continued for long period. How
ever it may be prolonged, whatever
requirements may be made upon
American valor and resourcefulness,
we who are left behind will know
that the Second Idaho boys are do
ing their full duty, that theey are
meeting, promptly and effectively,
all demands made upon them.
That is the American way; that
is the wstern way; that is the Idaho
way.
These boys are going forth to
fight. not because they hate Germany
but because they love America; not
because they are filled with revenge
but because they are fired with the
spirit of liberty that has freed hu-
mainly Of enslaving chains from
Thermopylae to Santiago, from Lex
ington to Verdun.
We say goodbye with swelling
breasts and moist eyes but with the
prideful knowledge that under any
circumstances he colors Of the Sec
ond idaho will never be dragged into
tho dirt while there's a man left
