| LOSING PARK
TRAVEL

Bingham county and the Targhee
forest came near losing Idaho the
Yellowstone travel entirely. At a
meeting held August 10 and IL in
the park by highway boosters from
western states it was proposed that
the new entrance to the park at
Victor, in Wyoming, should be used
instead of the southwest entrance
near Ashton, because of bad roads
between Fl. Hall and Blackfoot and
in the forest. 1t seems that every
tourist who has come this way has
spread broadcast complaint of those
two stretches.
Edward Thoreson Just came home
from trip to Portland in his car,
and he said he struck bad roads only
after leaving Idaho. Other travellers
have assured us that roads in the
middle west are much worse than
Idaho roads. But this little piece
south of Blackfoot seems to have
captured the cake for memorable
badness. To hold the traffic it must
be hard-surfaced. ;
According to statement by a
delegate at that meeting from the
Weber club in Ogden, Utah, 80 per
cent of all tourists coming thru
Odgen this summer headed for the
park were direct ed thru Wyoming to
Victor because Of the many COM
plants of impossible places on our
highway.
Bingham county has practically
promised to make good highway
thru it's whole territory to connect
with similar improvements north and
south. 1t viii take federal and
state aid and yet some, according to
Commissioner r. G. Bills, who repre-
sented this county at the conference.
This summer has been a loss in
tourist traffic, on account partly of
the Blackfoot-Ft. Hall stretch
Promptness yet may save next years
crop of tourists.-F. C. X.

directly from or thru the influence Of
the returned service men.
The good old charity army had no
funds to commence its campaign in
Europe with, and received but tiny
Dart of donations made In big charity
drives. Commander Booth mortgaged
the future of the whole Salvation
Army and put its good name into the
balance, borrowed over q million
dollars and sent the samaritans to
France. Later the Elks came to the
rescue with several millions Of dol
lars and so made their own name
brilliant in this wars record Of good
deeds.
The Salvation Army is in debt, but
it is going to come out of it between
September % and 20, so far as Idaho
is concerned.-F. c. X.

SILK SHIRTS

The Game of Passing-the-Buck

a real whirl at one of the great
American games-no, we are not re-

great game of passing-the-buck. 1t is
impossible to save or get ahead in
these stirring times. The high cost
of living keeps a fellow ground down

Ada County Sure
of Better Roads

Early reports from the Saturday
vote in Ada county for million dol

immense majority in favor of better
roads thru the sale of road bonds.
Boise, Kuna, Barber and Ustick
cast heavy vote for the bonds while
Meridian cast heavy vote against
them. Star gave a majority for the
bonds, but not sufficient to carry
since two-thirds vote is necessary.
Boise city cast but 131 votes
against the bonds but in rural dis
tricts the majority against the bonds
was larger
The total vote cast in the election,
while large, was small in comparison
with the vote cast in the usual po-
