HIGHWAY COM.
Is EXPENSIVE
WANT THE STATE HIGH
WAY DEPARTMENT ABOL.-
ISHED--COST EXCESSIVE

Boise,-The abolishing of the
state highway department as an
rxtravagant and Unnecessary arm
Jf the state government will be
recommended in resolutions pas
led by the State County Com
missioners' association at its
closing session last Thursday.
Recommendations that the re-
solutions ask the entire abolish
ment of the state highway COM
mission came toward the close of
lively session, at which some
twelve OF fifteen commissioners
rom counties had declared their
cooperation with the highway
department had proved costly
nd had not resulted in the con-
Struction of roads, but that prac-
tically all the money which the
counties had been forced to put
up had been expended i'm excess
sive engineering costs and over
head.
Among the speakers who most
STRONGLY attacked the commits
zion were r. B. French of Blaine
county, Commissioner Harvey of
nnnock, L. B. Marklson of Pay
otte. B. r. Meek of Franklin and
Commissioner Cantwell of Valley
Many others voiced a sentiment
that their experience in coopera-
tion with the state highway de-
partment had proven detriment-
al to road construction and cost
ly to the counties.
The commissioners voted un-
arimously to maintain a legis-
lative committee of five in Boise
during the legislative session.
Officers elected for the ensu-
ing two years were: President,
James A. Welch of Boundary;
vice president, w. F. Bracken of
Twin Falls: secretary, A. E. Po-
heroy of Gem; Treasurer, H B.
Illingworth of Ada.
In behalf of the northern Ida
no counties an invitation is to be
extended to the commissioners
to hold their 1921 session at
Standpoint, which invitation will
lie extended by Senator Andrew
Christensen. who is a member
of the board of Bonner county, |
but will resign to again serve in
the upper house of the legisla-
ture.

er Governor Frank Steunenberg,
who was blown to pieces by q
bomb planted at his gate at
Caldwell on the night of Dec.
81, 1905.
Leading members of the Ad-
ventist denomination of Idaho
are behind the movement to get
Orchard out of the penitentiary.
Their plan is to have him grant
ed permission to leave the coun-
try after a few months and to
place him in foreign mission
field as an Advent worker and
teacher, especially to teach
trades to the men among whom
he will be placed.
Various persons who were as
sociated with the prosecution of
the officers of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners have been ap-
preached within the past few
weeks in behalf of the parole for
which the Adventists soon ex-
pect to ask. They are claiming
that Harry Orchard is now a
changed man and is willing to
take up the missionary work de-
legated to him and to devote the
remainder of his life to doing
good among the poorer classes
of some foreign land. They also
feel that his Imprisonment of IL
years and his good record there
has been sufficient to pay the
penalty of his crime.
Harry Orchard was sentenced
to be hung by Judge Fremont
Wood at Caldwell March Is,
1908. Governor Gooding COM
muted his sentence to life i'm
prisonment.

view of Patrick Gibbon, mining
engineer and geologist, who has
been in the district since October
making Investigations and as the
result of whose findings options
have been taken on 5000 acres
of land for the purpose of ex-
ploitation. The options are in
the name of Mr.. Gibbon, but he
has local associates i'm Lewiston
and Charleston.
There have been rumors cur
rent for some time that oil in
vestigations were in progress in
this locality, but not until yes
terday was a statement made
available for publication. It
was learned that Mr.. Gibbon
quietly entered the field in Oct
ober and spent a considerable
period in the investigation be-
fore any information was given
out. Later the securing of op-
tions resulted. The informa-
ton is that within the next few
days there promises to become
public important developments

NUCENT LANDS
FEDERAL JOB
COMMENT ON NUGENT co
ING TO FEDERAL TRADE
COMMISSION.

Boise, Idaho, Dec. lS-The an
nouncement from Washington t,
day that the appointment o.
United States Senator John f
Nugent of this state as chairman
of the federal trade commission
will be sent to the senate fol
confirmation Monday and that
the junior senator will accept
the post Immediately, thereby
causing a senatorial vacancy foi
the unexpired term to March 3
is taken TO indicate by party
leaders in Boise that United
States Senator elect Frank r.
GOoding will be called upon To
take up his new senatorial duties
sooner than he expected.
Gov. d. w. Davis, in whose
hands.will rest the power to APP
point the successor of Senator
Nugent in the event of confiima-
ton of his appointment and his
immediate acceptance, was not
in the city today and a statement
from him therefore could not lie
secured. Those close to the
states chief executive, however.
seemed to Re of the opinion that
the appointment of Senator-elect
GOoding would be but logical as
he is going to Washington the
first of the year anyway to be
present at the opening of the
hearings on the proposed new
tariff bill which the new republi-
can congress is expected to pass
and will remain there for an in
definite period.
Senator-elect Gooding announ-
ced several days ago that he Con-
sidered the traiff measure of
vast and vital Importance and
he wished to be on the ground to
become familiar with its terms.
He considers it one of the most
important pending pieces of leg
islature to his constituents in
Idaho.
II is said the friends of Senat-
or Nugent are greatly pleased
to learn of his appointment.
They are confident that his con-
firmation will follow as matter
of course. Many of them had
hopes that Senator Nugent
would return to the state and
assist In the reorganization of
the democratic party, which is
now under way, but they feel
that under the circumstances
the important appointment ten
dered to him is not only in re-
cognition of his services in the
senate but is in recognition of
the democratic party and demo-
Gratis in general in Idaho.
Senate Confirms Nomination
Washington, Dec. 20.-Nom-
ination OF Senator Nugent of
Idaho to fill vacancy on the
federal trsde commission was
confirmed today by the senate

can, Idaho. .
Senator Nugent's appointment |
was the first presidential nomin-
alton to he confirmed by the SEN
ate during the present session
and was a courtesy usually
shown to a member of congress. |
All other nominations sent in
by the president have been held |
up without an executive session |
even for committee reference,
but proposals are under discus /
sion for disposals of army, navy
