Condition Of Health Demands
That He Cease Activity in
Business Affairs-Successor
Not Announced.
FAREWELL ISSUED PATRONS
Expresses Gratitude to People
Who for Years Were Directly
or Indirectly Associated With
Roads Success.

From printers devil' to president
of railroad is a long jump, but 1t was
made during the active business career
OF Colonel Edgar M. Heigho who an
nounces his resignation as president Of
the Pacific & Idaho Northern railroad,
of which he had been The head and
active manager and director for many
years. Ill health forces him to step
aside His successor has not as yet
been named. Saturday Mr. Heigho is
sued n farewell to patrons of the road,
with which he has been so long iden-
titled, who reside in Washington and
Adams counties.
Colonel Heigho took charge of the
railroad as vice president and general
manager in 1908. He was made presi-
dent in 1910. In November, 1917, he
suffered a severe stroke of paralysis,
as the result of overwork, which for
two months made him almost blind,
seriously affected his vocal organs and
rendered his right arm and leg almost
useless. Contrary to medical advice,
he remained at his post, because of
war emergency and scarcity Of help.
However in November, 1910, he re-
signed as general manager, closed his
home at New Meadows and came to
Boise, where it was hoped the mildek
climate and lower altitude would help
him.
STARTED AS PRINTERS DEVIL
Colonel Heigho began his business
career as q printers devil' on the
Detroit Free Press. At the age of Ia,
he started railroading, and since then
has made his own living. He came to
Boise in 1887, when 10 years old, as
assistant to the superintendent and
auditor of the Idaho Central railway,
now the Nampa branch. This road was
in bad shape, run down, dilapidated,
payrolls in arrears, without funds or
credit. He put it on its feet, built
extensions to the then 60 miles of
railroad, to Glendale, Evergreen and
finally to Meadows. The road is now
80 miles long. 1t opened up Adams
and Washington counties. Some idea
of the development of the section trib-
utary to the road can be realized when
1t is said that at the time Mr.. Heigho
took charge the assessed valuation of
the whole section was but $4,000, 900;
now it is $17,00O,O00. an increase of
$15,000,000. He refinanced the rail-
road three times in 16 years. He built
the Pomona hotel at Council and the
Hotel Heigho at New Meadows. In
fact. he worked Al years without a real
vacation. The Improvement in his
health has been miraculous. but it Is
found he needs complete rest.

Traffickers Are Getting Rid of Hidden

Berlin July lin view of the i'm
pending raising of the blockade, the
governments recent action in reduc
ing the prices of food staples is forcing
food traffickers TO get rid of hidden
supplies. AS result sharp decline
in prices is reported from all sections
OF Germany, the most marked decreas-
es being in the Rhenish zone of occu-
patton, where they have fallen from
30 to 60 per cent.
AS stocks in occupied territory ap-
parently exceed the demand, large
quantities are being shipped to Berlin,
where good prices prevail. Berlin will
probably he the last city to enjoy ap-
preciable price reductions, as much of
the city's supplies must be shipped
long distances.
1t is reported from Weimar that the
government will exercise active CON

exports. The latter part of the pro.
gram is meeting with vigorous opposit-
ion in commercial and industrial ex-
port circles, where 1t is maintained
that personal initiative would be more
successful abroad than government

Anti-Prohibitionist Declare They

to Repeal Law

Washington, July 13.-Wet leaders
have marshaled all their forces for a
fight to repeal wartime prohibition
and substitute a joint resolution au-
thorizing the President to allow the
sale and manufacture of beer and
wines before demobilization ends.
This is the chief battle the vets will
make when the wartime and national
prohibition enforcement bill begins
its hard course, under the fiye-minute
rule, in the House tomorrow.
Absent members, some of whom
voted both for wartime and national
prohibition, have been summoned to
be on hand tomorrow when the last
stand battle will be begun to prevent
the nation remaining on a dry basis
until Jan. 16, when the Eighteenth
amendment, providing for national
prohibition, goes into effect.
Leaders in the anti-prohibition
movement declared tonight that they
had received promises of enough
votes TO repeal wartime prohibition
by amending the bill to authorize the
President to lift the ban Immediately
upon beer and wines. They asserted
that this amendment would prevent
the sale and manufacture of whisky
during the period of rehabilitation
and would be supported by a number

LOOKING TO UNITED STATES
For Leadership in Education and
Science

Washington, d. c., July 12,-Declar-
ing the world is looking to the United
States "to assume the responsibilities
of leadership in educatin and in
science" made vacant by Germany
through the war, Commissioner of
Education Claxton, in letter to col
lege and university presidents made
public today, asks that steps be taken
by American schools to attract stu
dents from Europe
apparently Germany expects to re-
gain the influence which she formerly
exerted over foreign nations by means
of her universities. technical schools
and scientific institutions" Mr.. Clax-
toms letter says, pointing out that
there is no immediate prospect that
Germany can make successful appeal
to the students of Great Britain,
France or Italy However, the letter
says, because of proximity Germany
may be able to draw students from
Czecho-S -Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, Russia,
Rumania and western Asia. but Am
erican schools through the offering of
scholarships should be able to counter
act this advantage.
