NUGENT WRITES OF
TOBACCO EMBARGO

Senator John F. Nugent in letter
under date Of April 20, writes a
friend in Boise concerning the EN-
barge on cigars, cigarettes and to-
baeco. His letter concerning the EN-
barge is as follows:
81 took up with the post Office de
partment the matter of the embargo
on cigars, cigarettes and tobacco, con
cerning which you recently wrote me
and | was advised that the depart
ment took this action at the urgent
request of the war department
was further informed this embargo
not only applies to mail shipments
but to express shipments hs we'll.
The war department has stated that
all standard brands of cigars, tobac-
co and cigarettes can be purchased
by the boys in France considerably
cheaper than they can be shipped
from here, and for this reason the
government urges that those wishing
to supply the boys with tobacco send
them the money with which to pur-
chase same over there, as this would
tend to relieve the mail congestion to
that extent.

APoPLEXY CAUSES DEATH OF
EDWARD ". BUCHER.

BY the death of Edward ".
Bucher, which occurred about 10
o. 'clock last Saturday night, Mont
pelier has lost another one of it's
pioneer citizens. Mr.. Bucher had
spent the evening at the home Of
Mr. and Mrs Fred Sarbach and
was returning to the home of his
son, f. F., with whom lie has lived
for the past six years, and just as
he reached the gate at his son S
home he suddenly expired, death re-
sulting from apoplexy.
Mr.. Bucher was born in Zurich,
Switzerland, in October, 1S46, and
therefore lacked but a few months
of being 72 years of age. After
completing the common branches in
the schools of his native town, he
entered a university there, taking
the course in civil engineering. At
ter graduating from the university
he followed his profession, both in
Switzerland and France, having sur
veyed much of the land in France
where the Germans are now battling
with the British and French for
supremacy. While at work In the

since been slightly lame.
Mr.. Bucher married in Switzer-
land and with his wife came to the
United States In 1876, settling first
at Providence, Utah, where they
lived two years. They then came
to Bear Lake valley, stopping al
Nounan, where they remained for
about two years and then removed
to Montpelier. For five consecutive
terms he was elected to the Office
of surveyor of Bear Lake county,
declining to stand for reelection in
the campaign of 1914. He was also
city engineer for Montpelier for
several years.
Surviving him are two sons-F. Z
and Otto, and two daughters-Mrs
William Teuscher of this city and
Mrs. Fred Lintz of Eden, Idaho
Mrs. Bucher died IN this city about
eight years ago.
His funeral services were held
from the NJ. e. church Tuesday af.
ternoon at 2 clock. AT the grave
the burial services of the Odd Eel
lows were conducted, the deceased
having been a member of that or
