Worn Iron Nut,
Found at Scene,
to Fix Blame?

An iron nut with the threads
badly worn and which is said to
have dropped from the south
bound Scranton-rd car Tuesday
night before it's, rush down the
W. 3rd-st hill and subsequent
plunge to the B. & o. tracks, near
Superior Avenue, Cleveland, with
the collapse of the bridge was be-
ing closely guarded by city officials
Wednesday.
The city considers the nut al
most of inestimable value because
on it they hope to base proof that
the Cleveland Railway Company is
to blame for the bridge disaster.
The nut was picked up by po-
liceman early Wednesday at the
corner Of w. Prospective, and W.
3rd-st., the spot at which Motor
man H. T. Daniel is said to have
lost control Of his car.
Gustave E. c. Van Duzen, water
department head, detailed by
Mayor Davis to aid in the investi-
cation Of the accident, said the nut
was from the brake rod on the
right hand side Of the rear truck

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS

Owing to the fact that there seems
to be a misunderstanding in the
minds of some people as to the date
taxes for the year 1919 become de-
linquent, | beg to call attention to
section 1, chapter II of the 1919
session laws, which amends section
1870, chapter 1873 of the Compiled
Laws of Idaho, as follows:
No taxes levied for any year, and
entered upon the real property as
sessment roll, shall be received by
The tax collector on or after the
fourth Monday of December"
And further please note that all
tax notices read as follows:
All taxes upon which no pay
ments have been received in the Of
flee of the tax collector prior to the
fourth Monday of December will be
entered in the rolls as delinquent,
with 6 per cent added thereto and
future settlements must be made on
that basis, together with interest at
the rate Of 1 per cent per month
from date of delinquency"
From the above you will note that
all taxes will be delinquent Deem
Der %, 1919, and we request that
all taxpayers send in their remit
lance by that time.

adv. 22a-2mf. County Treasurer.

Restoration of
Trains Ordered

Restoration of normal passenger
train service in the northwestern
and central-western regions will be-
come effective at midnight Thursday
according to telegram from P. s.
Eustis, chairman of the Western
Passenger Managers Traffic commit
tee, received yesterday by DR.. S.
Spencer, general passenger agent of
the Oregon Short Line railroad.
Schedules which were in effect be-
fore the coal shortage gripped the
country will again be followed, now
that the fuel situation has been al
leviated by the return of the striking
miners, Mr.. Spencer said.
/ Altho Senator's w. H. King and
Reed Smoot were assured that the
embargo on coal would be lifted in
Utah yesterday, no official word Of
the raising of the restrictions was
received in Salt Lake during the day.
| A. D. Parsons, general sales agent
for the Utah Fuel company, spokes-
man for the operators of the state,
said last night that the new order
probably would become effective to-
| luOTTOW. lucIc was d Souci di lOCl-
ing of optimism among the business
men regarding the coal situation in
Utah.
Word was expected hourly of the
lifting of the ban which has held coal
from some of the industries, forcing
several plants to shut down. The
movement of coal from the mines,
retarded by snow and cold weather,
was nearing normal yesterday.
Mr.. Spencer said yesterday that
the word from Mr.. Eustis would re-
suit in restoration of daily service
between Blackfoot and Mackay,
Idaho, between Shoshone and Ket-
chum and between Victor and
| briggs.
Trains which were discontinued
between Butte and Salt Lake, Idaho
Falls and Ashton, Minidoka and
Bull and between Boise and Hunt
ington, Ore, will be restored, Mr..
Spencer said. One train daily each
way between all of these points was
discontinued.

The story of Dr. Tiff is full of in

of his book are more of direct inter-

others, because the object of his
writing seems to have been partly
a service to the members and mis-

church, to whom the volume is
dedicated.
The work contains complete

affairs in Bingham county:
The World Do Move
County commissioners of one of
the southern counties are sparing no
pains to educate the public in their
districts on various lines pertaining
to county matters, as was evidenced
this week by an example relative to
the care of the roads, being a digest
of the state law as recently sent out
by Secretary of State R. o. Jones,as
commissioner of law enforcement.
The commissioners also carried an
ad addressing the citizens of Bing-
ham county in Thanksgiving talk
covering congratulations on roads,
as well as various other improve
ments, and covering seasonable ap-
peals.
Thus the county commissioners of
Bingham county are breaking the
record by buying advertising space
to tell people how to preserve the
roads and protect road investment.
The whole public is confronted
Will IHe prODlem OF the tfaIHc rules
brought about by the use of modern
vehicles and the question of road
preservation under the many kinds
of traffic that has heavy weight
coupled with speed, and the force of
suction applied by the wheels in
their travel.
Bonneville Follows Bingham
The commissioners of Bonneville
county last week adopted resolu-
ton to conduct their road work for
1920 on new plan-that of en-
ploying superintendent of con-
struction for the whole county, as
is being done in Bingham county,
and setting aside an old, antiquated
plan they have been operating under.
The resolution was introduced by
Andrew Burkman, who has been
close student of road and canal work
and is considered one of the sound
business farmers of Bonneville
county.

Freight Wreck

Thursday morning last week
the crew of the water train cele-
brated Thanksgiving by getting
their train in the way of End 80
east bound. 1t is said that the
fast passenger train No. 5 bare
ly missed striking the water
train. 1t had been placed on
the main line track for east
bound trains and except..the flag
man or the east, apparently no
one was on deck looking after
the train. Anyway with no
headlight and directly in the
path of the east bound freight,
three tank cars we're piled up
and three fruit cars in No. 80
wrecked in addition to both loco
motives. The east bound engine
struck the engine Of the water
train which was headed east
and the tender and cow-catch-
er on each locomotive was
smashed. No one hurt A car
of apples was precipitated down
the embankment and barely
short of going into the creek.
another car of apples was
smashed and apples scattered
galore. A car of oranges anc
another car of grapes, all fruit
from California, were badly
damaged but not thrown out
of the cars as were the apples
The wreck was just wesl of thu
station and the result of careless
ness.

Schools Etc. Closed

K. City authorities ordered
schools, theatres and other places
for big gatherings closed on ac-
count of a shortage of coal and
office buildings and department
and other stores can be open
from 9 to a only. Factories,
packing houses and other big
institutions are getting short and
will have to operate on short
hours or not at all.
The governor of Kansas has
called for volunteer miners tc
strip coal and the unions have
declared that they will regard
all who engage in such work as
scabs and strike breakers and
treat them accordingly.
The situation throughout the
country is very serious.

In Re Divorces

Judges, probate and circuit,
are concerning themselves more
particularly in matters of separ-
ations of husband and wife which
come before them. In Kansas
probate judges who issue all
licenses and perform many mar
riage ceremonies have conclud-
ed that marriage bonds should
be entered into more deliberately
and ties much tighter than has
been the case in late years.
Making all due allowance for the
hasty marriages between soldier
boys who were about to depart
for the front in France and also
those who were in training for
the service and also for cases of
emergency among strictly civil
ians, the judges say the time
has fully arrived for halting the
nuptaiIs between boys and girls
regardless of affinity, fitness for
the solemn state, duration of ac-
quaintance and other judicial OBJ.
jections to mating which are
so frequently speedily followed
by application for separation. II
the judges are hearkened to, the
divorce laws IN Kansas will be
frightened up as will also the dis
tribution of license to marry
The judges also believe that
eugenic law should be put on the
statute book or at least, the right
for them to enquire closely int
