Republican ticket Of minor state Of
fices an overwhelming majority.
The feminine vote figured promin-
emily In tha halloting on the liquor
amendment.
Returns from approximately one
fourth of the precincts in the state in
dicated that the total vote would ex-
ceed 100000. So intense was interest
in the proposed amendment to legalize
the sale Of light wine and beer, that
no attempt was made in newspaper
offices up till early today to tabulate
the vote for state officers, headed by
two justices of the supreme court.

usually large margin in unreported
precincts would be required to save it
from defeat. The vote in Wayne was
47,954 for and 23,732 against in 2O2
out of 364 precincts.

$50,000,000 to be used in the construc-
tion of good roads, seemingly carried
by three to one, support for the pro-
ject coming from the cities as we'll as
the rural districts.

committee was held today to consider
the re-draft and the covenant
The council of four met this morn
ing at the residence of Premier Lloyd
George. President Wilson was not
able to attend the forenoon session,
but hoped to be able to attend the
meeting this afternoon at the Paris
white house"
The over night tension in peace
conference circles had not been dis
PEELED when the council of four met
today. In conference circles, how
ever, it was felt that the session to-
day would serve to clear the at
mosphere.
The first question taken up at tho
forenoon session of the council, at
which Col House represented Presi-
dent Wilson, was that of procedure.
This was considered in an effort to
accelerate the work Of the council
Discuss Tribunal for Kaiser
1t was planned to devote the after
noon session to the subject Of res
possibility for the war; including the
question of a tribunal to try the for
mer German emperor, the former
crown prince and others on which di-
vided reports have been presented.
1t was said by American members
of the peace conference that the gen.
eral situation was improved somewhat
today because of the agreement reach
ed by the commission on reparation
on the main features Of the reparation
questions, leaving only a few unessen-
tal details for adjustment.
Hopeful Tone Prevails
Generally a more hopeful tone pre-
vailed in conference circles as the
day went on.
Members Of the American delega-
ton declined to give an explana ton of
the rumors in circulation that the con-
ference would complete it's work short
ly. One member when asked for de-
finite information Of the situation,
said:
You know the George Washington
has been ordered to Brest. That is
good subject for speculation"
Council yesterday heard the report
OF the reparation committee. 1t is
now estimated that the minimum
amount to be collected will be s45, ,0OU.-
100000 Of which Germany will be re-
quired to S5.000,000,0O0 down.

FISHING SEASON
IS AT ITS BEST NOW

Fishing is now at it's best in Wood
river and the Sawtooth country. The
streams are comparatively low for
this time of the year and the many
fishing parties now camped in this
region report excellent catches.
Campers are becoming numerous
in the Sawtooth forest and the fine
camping sites to be found there are
attracting tourists from all over
southern Idaho.
This region is easily accessible to
auto parties, the Hailey-Stanley road
being the main thoroughfare by
which it is reached. This road is
now in good condition as is also the
Warm Springs creek road, which is
extensively used In reaching Guyer
Hot Springs and the many recrea-
tion sites above that resort.
The forest service is improving the
most attractive sites on Wood river,
placing tables and benches and
erecting comfort stations. A larger
number Of tourists than ever before
is expected this season. UnfOrtun-
ately, the lack Of rainfall thru June
and the protracted spell Of hot
weather have made the forest fire
danger unusually great. Under these
conditions it is imperative that
visitors use the greatest possible
care with camp fires, burning
matches, cigarett and pipe ashes.

Plans for Celebrating
the Fourth Completed

The evening exercises that have
been planned for Blackfoot, to enter
tain the citizens who stay in Black
foot for the holiday, have all been
completed. The Bingham County
War Veterans have had fine dance
platform constructed in the city park
and will be in charge of an open air
dance there in the evening. Every
one is extended a cordial invitation
and it is hoped that large crowd
will attend.
Before the dance begins a program
of addresses by local men and music
by individuals and the community
will be given.
The supply of fireworks is here and
Mr.. Goodenough informs us that
there are some monster pieces in
the/ collection, in fact enough that
that feature alone will be entertain
ing and well worth while. The fire.
works will be set off before the dane
ing begins, with the exception of a
few large pieces which will be kept
until later in the evening.
Several ambitious boy scouts came
to the rescue of the fireworks COM
mittee Wednesday and Thursday and
solicited the business people of the
town for dollar subscriptions to pay
for the fireworks. A fund sufficient
to cover the expense was raised.
The V. l. s. ladies are prepared to
furnish refreshments at the park and
the proceeds that are realized from
this source will be used for improve
ments. =

Idaho Falls Man Will
Buy A Typograph

c.. J. Reed, one of the Reed
Brothers who operate the Idaho
Falls Post spent parts of two days in
The Republican office this week
studying the typograph and other
things in the office, and reached a
decision on a question that had been
vexing them for some time. They
either had to buy more type or buy
some kind of type casting machine
that takes the place of hand set type
and he decided to buy typograph.
His brother, who attended the news
paper convention here in May was
converted to the typograph, and now
they are both convinced that it is
the machine that will stand the test
of time and service in wiping hand
set type out of use.
When Mr.. Reed was ready to
leave The Republican office he placed
his name on the visitors register and
wrote in the comment, "The most
complete newspaper office l have
even seen."

CHANGES MADE
IN FIGHT PLANS
Will Abandon Battle for Formal
Declaration Before Actual Rati-
fication Struggle Opens
ENEMIES ARE RESPONSIBLE

WASHINGTON, July with the
beginning today of a weeks recess
of congress, it seemed assured that
senate opponents of the league of
nations would abandon any plan for
formal declaration on the subject
before the fight for actual ratifica-
ton of the treaty begins.
Until the recess plan was sug-
gested it had been the apparent pur-
pose of opposition leaders to make
an effort as soon as the appropriation
bills were passed to bring some
senate action in advance of presenta-
ton of the treaty. For this purpose
is was said the opposition would
press the resolution Of Senator Knox
of Pennsylvania, Republican, to
serve notice of unwillingness to ac-
eept the league covenant as an in
separate part of the treaty and that
of Senator Fall of New Mexico, Re-
publican, to declare a state of peace
with Germany.
Both Resolutions May be Sidetracked
1t now is expected, however, that
the treaty will be presented as soon
as the recess is over, and that both
of these resolutions will be consid-
cred then to have outlived their USE
fulness. Present indications are that
from now on it will be straight out
and out fight over unqualified
ratification.
Altho many senators left the
capital today, some of the leaders re-
mained actively at work on plans for
the ratification fight In general, the
opposition lines are shaping on the
basis of the ratification reservations
suggested by Elihu Root, while the
presidents supporters were prepar-
ing for struggle to secure accept
ance of the covenant without the
alteration Of single provision.
Congress last night enacted all ap-
preparation bills needed by the vari-
GUS agencies of the government for
the new fiscal year that began yes
terday.
After being in session until mid
night the house and senate finally
reached agreements on bills that
have been in dispute for weeks. The
measures as passed included the
army bill, carrying $775,000,000;
the sundry civil bill, carrying $780,
100000; the District of Columbia
annual budget of SIS, 100000 and
a deficiency measure Of $25, 0,O00f

THE TELECRAPHERS'
STRIKE CALLED OFF
Operators Asked to Return to
Duties; Future Looks Like
One of Promise


The strike of telegraphers, which
began June IL, was called off at
noon July 2, by S. J. Konenkamp,
president of the Commercial Tele-
graphers' union of America. He
called off the strike after he had con-
ferred with other officials of the
union. In an address to the mem
bers of the organization by Presi-
dent Konenkamp it was evident that
he held Burlson responsible for the
failure. He also declared that the
future seemed to be one full of
promise, despite collapse of struggle
inaugurated on June IL. Operators
were asked to return to their duties.
In his address President Konenkamp
said, 1.-The C. T. U. A. will not sur
render. Some reorganization of the
union may be necessary, but our
banner, flung to the breeze in 1902
will never be furled."
1t was announced that meeting
of the executive committee of the
organization would be called in a
few days to consider plans of re-
organization.
The Garment Workers union
called strike in Canada July 2, de-
manding the same wages paid in the
United States. Two thousand mem
bers of the union responded to the
strike order in Montreal.
Electrical workers and shop crafts
unions of Spokane served notice on
July 2, that a strike of electrical
workers and shopman would become
effective July 3.

TO RELIEVE THE
NEED OF WATER

Cultivating the soil and making
a dust-mulch to prevent evaporation
will help make the crop without
further. irrigation.
Any crop that can be cultivated
after irrigation, that is, as soon as
the soil stirs up mellow, will hold it's
moisture longer and the plants will
get more growth than If cultivation
were emitted.
Anything that plugs up the
crevices keeps the moisture from
wasting. Anything that keeps the
soil mellow and steamy aids plant
growth. II you are in doubt about
it, cultivate strips across the field
and watch results.

ESTABLISHING OUR

AS announced heretofore, we with
held decision till the first day of
July regarding the starting of q
daily paper on the twenty-second Of

In the face of the present short
age of merchandise to advertise, the
shortage Of water for making crops

many advertisers that for the pres
ent they prefer to merely use the
semi-weekly newspapers and not be
called upon to help maintain daily,
this office decided to postpone the
starting of the daily.
