None on the Yellowstone Highway

None on the Yellowstone Highway
None Of the money derived from
| the sale of bonds will be expended
on the Yellowstone highway. There
will be $4,000 of state money for
use in improving the state highway
and Bingham county has to put I'D
part OF that in straight taxes whether
we want to or not. If this money
is not expended on the state high
way 1t cannot be used at all in this
county
If we should defeat the bond issue
we could not take one cent of the
state money for any other roads than
the state highway, and if we approve
the bond issue, the money derived
from the sale of bonds will all be
used on other roads than the state
highway.
Doing This for the Country
People who have been planning to
vote against the bonds for fear it
would be used on the road between
Idaho Falls and Fl. Hall would waste
their votes, for it would not have
any effect on that matter in any
event. 1t is purely question of
bonding to get money to build roads
among the farms or refusing to bond
for that purpose. 1t is a question of |
making the people in the towns put |
up money to build roads in the |
country, and letting the people in
the towns pave their streets at their
own expense or travel in the mud |
and dust. When streets are paved
in town, the cost of paving is charged |
against the abutting property, but i
when roads are paved or crowned in |
the country, 1t is charged against
the whole public, including the town
people.
Railroad Wants to Pay
The railroad company pays IA per
cent of the taxes in Bingham county
and 1t has no vote on the bond ques-
ton, but the company wants to see
the bond election carry, and they
want to pay their share of the ex-
pense. They do not haul their loads
on wagon roads at all, but their
patrons do, and when farmers can
not haul between their farms and the
loading stations, the railroad COM
pany cannot load and unload cars.
and they lose money by having their
cars standing idle on the sidings
waiting for weather and roads II.

RODE in ON SHEEP PELTS

H. c. c. Rich was in from Pingree
one of those muddy days lately, and
when asked how he got to town in
such time, he pointed a rig with
a pile of sheep pelts on, and said he
came on them, feeling that if the
outfit swamped in the road, the pelts
would serve as life preserver.

When the Com
missioners Sat Down
They First Agreed to Distribute
the New Road Among all
the Districts
IN PROPORTION TO VALUATION

The first thing the commissioners
of Bingham county agreed upon be-
fore taking single step looking to-
wards bonding the county for good
roads was to divide the road con-
struction and Improvements among
the three commissioners districts in
proportion to the assessed valuation.
Every District Gets Some
The second thing they agreed to
was that so far as it was possible for
them to do so, they would divide
road construction and improvement
among the respective road districts
in proportion to their assessed valua
ton.
Bonding for the Farmers
The third matter they agreed upon
was that the first road work was to
be expended where the traffic was
heaviest, and especially where the
hauling of produce would best be
served by it, The money is to be
expended primarily for the interest
and advantage of the farmer, max
ing roads between his farm and the
loading stations and between the
farm and the trading centers, and to
carry the heaviest, swiftest and most
congested travel and traffic of what
ever kind wherever it is found within
the county.

literally alive with mules and men.
The public square would not begin
to hold the automobiles and they were

change in the hour, brought many to
town by eight o'clock.
Good mules were in great demand
but not many on the market and only
few Of this class sold. There was
no demand for the inferior kind.
Hundreds of mule colts were here
and only few Of these sold as the
demand was light.
Politics was the talk of the day
and many came to hear Governor
