- Three Mexicans Held

On Wednesday morning between
the hours of o'clock and S, some
body took an axe and smashed the
plate glass front door of the Golden
Rule store and walked in, helped
themselves to 70 suits of clothes and
an armful of dresses, shirts and bath
robes. totaling $1171.3S in value.
A fresh snow had fallen and by 5
o'clock the officers were on the trail
which led to shack above the sugar
factory. Three Mexicans sat around
the fire drying their feet and their
tracks corresponded exactly with the
tracks leading from the store to the
shack.
Part of the stolen goods were in
the shack, part Of them were found
near there, q pile of suits were found
dumped in an alley in the town as if
the person carrying them had been
frightened and dropped them. The
three Mexicans were delivered into
the city bastil, the case against them
seems plain and the public will be
interested in seeing what kind of
sentence they get.

last Monday attended by delegates
from the various counties Of Idaho

good representation OF the active
business men and shippers of the
country seeking to make showing
to the railroad company that would
secure reduction Of rs per cent in
freight rate on wheat and potatoes
shipped out Of Idaho.
ALI the ins and outs and ups and
downs OF the business were discussed
thoroly, some high officials of the
railroad company being present and
they took the attitude that the farm
ers and shippers have just cause for
complaint. Railroad rates are fixed
by the public utilities commission
and the interstate commerce COM
mission and while the railroad com
panies are not allowed to raise
freight rates without the consent and
approval of the commission yet they
have authority to lower the rates in
emergencies II they wish to do so.

A good many people who travel the
Bridge Street road have been making
the observation that the road is de-

laid and already showssa good many
broken places. They want to know
If that is the kind of road we are pay
ing our money for.
The Republican writer interviewed
Jack Hartong who has charge Of
construction work under Mr.. Mcguire
and he says, that the work is defec-
tive and will have to be rebuilt.
He said that it is impossible to lay
bitulithic paving when there Is snow
or water getting into the materials.
An unusually wet season coming
early in the fall of 1920 interrupted
the work and because it was so un-
usual they held on and tried to COM
plete the job, only to have to give it
up in the end.
Desiring to have the public travel
the most direct route all winter and
not wishing to have them take the
detour. they, opened it up to traffic,
will stand the loss on the road them
selves and in the spring will rebuild
1t right.
All of the bitulithic paving laid
by these contractors is guaranteed
for five years.

The history Of, this case will be
about like the history OF the average

February Mr. Trego wentyto the First
National Bank and made application
for a,,l0an. They asked him for a

each question like a. QUESTIONABLE and

I$625; 20 hogs al. $40 EACH $4O0.

The Christian religion contemp,
lates the kingdom Of Christ. Ac.
cepting Christianity is acknowledg.
ing the teachings Of the Christian re.
ligion involving the gift of the spirit
the development of the body, TIL
passing out, called death, and tM
resurrection. f
To most people there is more OF
less difficulty In accepting all .ot
these beliefs, Notwithstanding there
is, on every hand evidence Of their
truths, and altho persons in active
life may acknowledge their being,
vet they find difficulty in accepting
the teachings concerning the resur-
rection. @ la@.
In contemplating the resurrection
of the body, their thoughts are apt
to dwell upon the. fact that after
death the body disintegrates into
other forms, often having its ma
terials widely scattered. They are apt
to accept this as a refutation Of the
theory Of resurrection. III
The active principles Of plants and
trees take on different forms and
may again be restored to their for
mer strength. For example, the ac-
tive principle of the peppermint plant
may, be transformed into some other
material and preserved and brought
out, released and used afterwards as
peppermint. Taking the body, of the
peppermint plant and subjecting 1t
to- dampness and heat, driving the
essence out Of It and bringing the
essence in contact with certain other
materials that absorb 1t and hold 1t
for future release and use, in meas
urel proves the theory Of tn erdesur-
rectiOn. t @
The delicious aroma of new mown
hay has interested men SO that they
subjected the bodies of the various
plants In the meadow to dampness
and heat, drove the essence out of
it, had It absorbed into some preser-
vatives and held it for use thruout
the year as perfume. 35
The active principles Of plants that
were in existence a million years ago
have been brought to life by the
chemists Of the present day and
thereby, proven { the theory Of the
