was discovered by neig.,bors who
turned in the alarm, but too far gone
before the fire department could
reach the scene. Some household
goods were saved. The loss was par

TENDER YEARS FOUND
WITH LOOT IN A CAVE

SACRAMENTO, Cal.-FoHr boys,
ranging in age from eight to eleven
years. have been arrested here charg.
ed with burglary.
The boys, according to the story
told the authorities. had become in
cited with dreams Of wealth and a
romantic tour of the world without
parental consent.
The four barefoot lads were ar
rested after having burglarized the
home of Charles Aston in this city.
Detectives traced the bandits" by
their barefoot prints to cave dug
in a vacant lot, in which the valu-
ables were held, awaiting pur-
chaser.
Walter Coyle. aged eight, and
Mike Koshall, ten years of age, both
wearing knee pants, were the first to
be aprehended. They immediate
ly confessed having stolen number
of valuable articles.
Next in the grip Of the law were
Lawrence Howard, ten, and Lee Wat
BAN, aged eleven. who acted as
watchers at the cave.
Part of the valuab les found in the
cave consisted of a gold wedding
ring, gold watch holder, gold
stickpin, a nugget bar set with pearlIi
and large mantel clock.

PERMIT GREEKS
TO FIGHT TURKS
Allied Premiers Allow
Advance of Forces
in Smyrna

LONDON.-The allied premiers a
their conference at Hythe Sunda,
evening decided to allow the Greel
army at Smyrna to advance agains,
Mustapha Kemals Turkish ma
tionalist forces.
M. Venizelos, the Greek premier
has been in London for some time
urging Premier Lloyd George to I'M
leash the Greek army at Smyrna.
"We have now six divisions at
Smyrna, four in Thrace, and can add
three more" M. Venizelos told the
British premier. "If we could fol-
low the Turks beyond the Smyrna
villayet we could smash Mustapha
Renal single-handed.'
Mr.. Lloyd George is believed to
have tentatively accepted the offer
OF Greek aid in extricating the
small British force now in Ismid.
The Daily Express declares tho
premier has thus involved Britain
in a new war, inasmuch as she will
be bound to aid the Greeks if the
proposed action fails to destroy the
Ottoman nationalist army.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS

Owing to the fact that hun
dreds of new names are being
placed on the Idaho Republican

been possible to get all names
properly on the list at once.
An office force has been kept
busy with this work and within
the next few days all papers will
be delivered properly.
In a number of instances in
sufficient address has been given
and the papers have been re-
turned to the Idaho Republican
office for better address, which
has caused a delay in some cases.
You are requested in case you
are not securing your copy of

Park Travel Coming
Travel to the park need not be
diverted to some other route on &C
count of the Fort Hall sand. Con-
struction work between Salt Lake
and Ogden is harder to get by. They
give the travellers almost any kind
Of detour and let them get thru
as best they can. Much complaint
has been entered against leaving the
constant stream of travellers to their
own devices to get by, and it is hoped
they will adopt the Fort Hall plan of
throwing out a lifeline.
Former Commissioner Talks
T. P. Fackrell was in from Thomas
recently and said he quite agreed
with Colonel Fugate that the second
district ought to stand the whole
cost of paving the Fort Hall sand
because it is in the second district.
He says the third district has borne
the cost of building the state high
way thru the south end of the coun-
ty. and he wants the second district
to shoulder whatever happens to
come within their boundaries, reser-
vation, sandhills or whatever it hap
pens to be. The whole line of the
Yellowstone highway will have to be
paved soon to carry the swift, heavy
traffic, and then the first district
will have to shoulder long stretch

ranged for Second
Evening

The flower committee for the
chautauqua report that decorations
are coming up for a feast of beauty
On Tuesday evening, the first enter
tanners, most OF the room on the
stage will be needed for the draperies
and actors in The Oriental Pageant,
and the decorations will not be- at
their full for that one event. On We'd
nesday they will rearrange the flow-
ers and will exhaust the supply of
peony bloom to do it. Then as the
hot days and cool days follow on,
the additional supply of beauty from
that source will be brought on &C.
cording to the generosity of the
weather clerk. A few hot days will
make the peony buds pop out like
red and white popcorn in the Pepper.
The peony supply comes from
Smiths nursery west of town, and
people desiring to get these beauties
for decorations in their homes and
offices should ring the Smith nur-
sery, phone 423R1. The prices will
be below the market in other places
because 1t is home product and
there will be no grating on account
OF freight rates." The price till
further notice will be Is cents a
dozen; S6.25 per hundred; $50 per
thousand, cash up and smile with
it. But there is no question about
the smile-everybody does it the
moment they see one peony, saying
nothing of hundred or a thousand.

the Bonded Roads

en- any training inroad construction:
that the pictures we had looked at,
showing roads in Utah and Indiana,
had not graduated us in road build
ing, and that IL the commissioners
would agree not to expend a large
percentage of the bond money in
engineering, If they would manage it
SO that most of the money would be
spent for something in the way of
actual construction and not for
blueprints and side elevations on
paper, We would like to leave it to
leave it to them to manage the road
building. 1t was said that in state
highway work sixty per cent of the
money had been spent in engineer
ing, and that was too much.
The Commissioners Said
The commissioners gave consid-
cradle assurance that they felt just
like the rank and file did about
that matter, and we common people
breathed more easily on that score
and had more confidence in the CON-
missioners. Another thing that was
much talked of was the grating of
the public funds. People were afraid
of heavy graft. Men who talked
freely on the matter said they ex-
pected some waste and some blund-
ers and some little grating. They
did not expect perfection in the
midst Of all the recklessness of the
age, but that if something like IS
per cent of the money was expended
wisely and the rest wasted they
would not kick. One man in his
said that if they would
only build a good road between
Blackfoot and the Snake river
bridge he would feel so relieved that
he would be satisfied. Of course,
that was an extreme case, and he
was probably kidding himself while
he leased others to get into the sub
ject far enough to form opinions.

a view of having them so they will
keep clear Of snow in winter, not
having them low enough to allow
snow to lodge in any considera BILE

If the grades are built too high,
then 1t must be accepted as a part
of our agreement to take what the
commissioners gave us so long as
they acted on their pest judgment

blunder in judgment on part of the

money was we'll spent. have arrived
at the point where they can stick
to their proposition or go back on it,
PROVIDED there is no graft in the
road expenditures There is a way
to find out whether there is graft
in the transactions or no., and that
is for the commissioners to employ
somebody of unquestioned honor and
honesty to audit the accounts and
look we'll into the purchases of
goods and machinery to see il thew
were obtained at market prices. If
the accounts are found straight and
clean, then there is nothing left to
fuss about, and we are in duty
bound to stick to our original decla-
rations to be satisfied with results.
There will always be the problem of
the upkeep of the roads, and that is
the next big question to be met and
provided for.

FORT HALL SETS THE PACE

Work on the Fort Hall pavement
is progressing more satisfactorily
than at first. The contractor, Mr..
Mcguire, has considered the matter
OF moving his Idaho Falls outfit
down to speed up the work in Black
foot, and says it will be hard to find
and break in new crew to do good
work. He says he can mix in some
new men on the Fort Hall job and
Keep the overseers working sixteen
hours day supervising the work of
two shifts and get along better than
to have two crews working in sep
arate places.
The state furnishes an inspector
to make sure that specifications are
followed precisely. He is a newman
from California and has no favor
ties. He sets his foot down and
makes them follow the formula
closely, and will not allow the as
phaltum to be poured unless it is
thin enough and hot enough and the
surface clean and ready for it. A
few days ago they had a racket over
one batch of asphaltum that was too
dry to c!inch right, and the insDec-
tor stood pat and told them he would
condemn it if they poured it, so they
dumped it out and lost it but protect
ed the roadbed. One foreman had
been careless about pouring the as
phaltum on materials that would
make defective spots in the road
like little punches of manure, and
the new inspector makes them sweep
up and remove everything of the
Kind that might might make a de-
feet. Mr.. Mcguire tells the inspec-
tor to hold tight rein on every-
body and see that every foot of it
is built according to specifications.
Stuck in the Sand
When the work was commenced
very little attention was paid to
what is CALLED the ''detour." the
road around the construction gang.
Cars would get stuck in the sand
and have much delay. Where cars
met they nearly always had some
trouble getting by, and sometimes a
dozen cars at time would be saw
ing sand in one bunch. Then the
state and county and the contractor
1ecided that was not right, and they
arranged to have a relief SQUAD to
20 and pull them out, dividing the
expense among the three interests
famed. AS they studied the mat
er they concluded it was cheaper
o use some care in laying out the
letour, and spread straw and ma
lure on it. and then go to the re-
ief of anyone who got stuck. They
lave shortened up the detour and
ignaled travellers on or held them
'ack to prevent their meeting in the
and, and got 1t so regulated that
early everybody goes thru without
stop. Travellers about to take the
etour should stop and look for cars
oming, and give the signal man an
pportunity to wave them on, or to
i've the stop signal. It is easier to
emain few minutes on the paving
han to dig out when stuck in the
and. The inexperienced driver al
avs thinks he can drive right
round another car in the sand, but
hen he tries it he only gets two
heels out Of the road and kills his
1gine, and then begins to dig like
hen in a chaff pile. The reme-

FACES TASK OF
FIXING WORLD
STATUS OF US.
Americas Standing With 9th
er Nations Foremost Prob
lem of News President.
ELEMENTS ARE WEIGHED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-SweepIngly
victorious in the presidential and sena-
torial elections the Republican party to
day faced the task of fixing Americas
status among the nations of the world
and of ending a technical state Of war
that has endured longer than actual
fighting Of this nation.
President-elect Harding himself has
frankly said that detailed plans for meet
ing this task are as yet Uniformed, but
today these things stood out:
President Wilson having been defeated
in the solemn referendum" on the
League of Nations, is expected to take
no further action looking to the adop-
ton of that pact.
Senator Harding favors first the dec
laration of peace by congressional reso-
luton and second the formation of a
new association Of nations to which task
ne has promised to call the country's
best minds.
The new Senate will be Republican,
and even some Democrats will be for
Harding and against the Wilson peace
idea-notably Reed of Missouri and Wat
son of Georgia.
That is the outline of the situation Of
which the new President will be the CEN
tSA "AcA nc Calls sPeCAdl SOHsrcsc
session which he is expected to do soon
after assuming office in March.
Within his own party he will of course,
have the irreconcila bles, returned in full
force by the election Of Brsndegee, In
Connecticut, and Moses, in New Hamp-
shire, while johnson and Borah remain
IN the Senate.
On the other hand, he will have a
group representing the ideas of e1-
President Taft and Herbert Hoover that
while the present league must be modi-
fed, 1t should not be expurgated to-
tally.
Republicans here hope that when Har-
dinS's plans are unfolded in detail he
viii have the support Of both these
groups, as well as that of many Demo
Gratis who are anxious to have Americas
world status fixed.

can obscure the issue in Tuesdays cleo

The men and women who bear the
burdens and pay the price of war finally
have had the opportunity to pass upon
