CANDIDATE RESIGNS OFFICE

The office of fuel administrator
for Idaho has been filled heretofore
by Ex-Governor Frank R. Gooding
who Is now in the race for United
States senator, and in taking up his
political activities he thought it
proper to lay down his work as fuel
administrator, and has rendered his
resignation to DR.. Garfield, effective
the first of September.
Mr.. Gooding states that his work
as fuel administrator has been given
an infinite amount of assistance by
the newspaper men of the state and
says their hearty cooperation has
brought him into closer touch with
them and their methods and their
instruments for communicating with
the public in a way that leads him
to conclude that these silent workers
are doing far more to win the war
than people generally have any idea.
He says that IL the newspapers help
all the war activities as effectively as
they do the fuel administrator when
coal is scarce and quick delivery of
information to the public is essential.

The Pocatello L. d. s. stake choir
will give grand concert here FRIDAY
night in the first ward meeting
house. While this choir is new or
ganization it has appeared in grand
concert, having given an open air
concert on the Pocatello court, house
grounds Pioneer day. They also
gave Stevens night in Pocatello,
which was a big success. It consists
OF over seventy-fve pieces.
Its main success is due to its ex-
ceptional good leader, Prof. Hen
ricksen. He is supported by few
well trained voices, but he is sue
cessful in getting wonderful results
out of ordinary singers, They will
come by auto and it is expected to
be a merry train of songsters who
Will be riding the Lincoln highway
next Friday evening, Aug. 80. Due
to the many war activities that peo-
pie are so often called upon to con-
tribute to and also because this is
partially arranged as joy ride;
their regular concert price of SO
cents will be cut in two and the
charge will only be rs cents.

OF the court, and in the course of his

TAKES A RAP AT TREC0
Blaclfoot Man Reviyes an Old Scrap. Gives
Queer Reasons Why People Should
Vote for Ailshie

In the last issue Of The Blackfoot
Optlmist is an article written by A.
>. Dickinson attacking Editor Trego
In reply to Trego's editorial saying
that Judge Ailshie was not the kind
OF man the people of Idaho should
elect to the United States senate.
Dickinson states that Trego is
against Ailshie because Ailshie was
chief justice of the supreme court
Of Idaho and voted against Trego,s
interests when it came up to them
on appeal. Mr.. Dickinson points
with pride to a number of jurors who
also passed judgment on Treeo IN
court, and expresses regret that he
cannot get the rest Of the names.
We take pleasure in handing him
herewith the names of the rest Of
the jurors who went on record IN
that scandal and still live in this
county to keep company with their
own memories of it. Mr.. Dickinson

EDITORS NOTE

This paper Is publishing series
Of articles for the purpose of show
ing people in what respects we waste
money by the present methods of
making and repairing roads, how at
the same time we cause q high rate
Of depreciation on cars and other
vehicles while travelling the rough
roads, how we lose time in travel and
lose money moving crops on poor
roads, and how we can gain in every
respect by arranging for series of
bond issues and great campaign of
road work following promptly on the
close of the war.
The plan advocated is to spread
fine gravel on the earth roads during
the winter months and press it in
with the steam roller in the spring,
thus initiating what nature has done
in certain places in making the best
and most durable roads we have in
the county. tt

QUICK TRIP FROM SALT LAKE

d. A. Jenkins and Harold Baker
came thru from Salt Lake the last
OF the week in Mr.. Jenkins car in
SIX hours and fifty minues.
The supposition is that they
touched all the high places and the
curves. One feature of the trip was
that they started with some water
melons In the rear aisle, and as they
pumped around and broke them
selves battering against the sides the
riders took time off to conserve the
melon by the proper process. BY the
time another melon was broken.
there would be room under their
belts for some, and they would again
take time on, resting the engine.

There is evidence of confusion in
