ferson to protect the new frontier O the Northwest Territory.
 A few years later the early settler. and soldiers at the fort established Ia rope ferry. A flat bottomed scov attached to rope running from banl i to bank was drawn across the river by hand. Later a floating bridge 1 hinged to the bank, was installed, but in 1852 while being drawn in to permit a ship to pass it swamped and severa persons were drowned. 1 The settlers returned to the rope ferry, which functioned well for four years. On September 19, 1856, thirty persons were crossing the river in the , scow when ship sailed up and fouled the ferry line. Fifteen of the thirty were drowned
 A swinging bridge of wood and iron was next built. Its 211 foot span cost $54,O00. On Tuesday, Nov. 8, 1863, on election day, the bridge tender took vacation leaving an assistant in charge.
 Late in the afternoon a drover started to herd 150 head of cattle across the bridge. A teamster with two horses and man and girl in a buggy were also on the bridge, when two tugs whistled for the draw.
 The bridge tender started to swing the span, when the bridge collapsed under the weight of the cattle. The girl was drowned but the men, cling ing to the horns of the cattle, were rescued.
 A wooden bridge was next erected, and served until the great fire of Oct. 9, 1871. There is story mostly le- gend, of how prominent citizen stooo guard with gun all night to keep the bridge tender from opening the draw to save his bridge before all the re- fuges had fled from the fire dis trict.
 A steel bridge followed-it cost 115,500-and was dedicated with great celebration. Twelve years later the schooner Granger, the tug Chas. w. Parker, and the steam barge Bus mess all tried to pass through the south draw at one time.

vention now In session in Chicago
and the rapidly approaching Demo
cratic national gathering in San
Francisco. the biggest, and perhaps
the most important. campaign In the
history Of our country is upon us.
1t viii be lively tussel between
the opposing candidates. and the
campaign gives promises Of being q
hot one from the start.
Locally little has been said or done
in political circles, and 1t seems that
party leaders are simply waiting for
the completion Of the two big com
ventions before breaking loose and
getting the local situation lined up.
The Examiner wishes to announce
at this time that its columns will be
open to a clean, broad discussion OF
questions affecting Bear Lake coun-
ty and the state of Idaho in general
All factions viii be accorded the
same consideration, and the various
parties are invited to use the Elk
aminer in the approaching campaign
and can rest assured that all matters
entrusted to us viii be treated in the
strictest confidence.

BAD ROADS.

1T seems strange that the roads
within the cities and towns of Bear

than the highways throughout the
country districts. yet this is exactly
the situation here this spring. 1t
doesn't matter in what direction one
might travel, as soon as the outskirts
Of Montpelier are reached the roads
are smooth and in good condition ex-
cept IN scattered spots.
However, as you draw nearer the
little settlements or villages you be-
gin to encounter rough. cut-up roads.
and in almost every instance the
main thoroughbares OF the various
towns are bumpy. cut up and dry. No
matter how slow an auto il driven

SHIP BY MAXWELL
 CRY OF DEALERS

Tn conjunction with their activities in tours, parades and other events of Ship -by-Truck- Good Roads week, Maxwell truck dealers throughout the country will take opportunity to i'm press upon the people of their respect i've territories their own particular slogan, Ship by Maxwell
 Behind the Ship by Maxwell key note is an interesting record" said R. D. Roper, local Maxwell truck dealer.
 "Phe first Maxwell truck marketed appeared in 1917. Today, about 20,000 of them are in service. All the demand is such that the Maxwell production program for the next fiscal year, be- output of trucks in the history of the organization.
 ''The truck weighs 2,400 pounds, and it's capacity is 1 F tons, or 5000 pounds. There are numerous instances in which it has consistently carried loads far in excess of its rated capacity; in which upkeep has been practically nothing, and other striking claims are made as 70 gasoline, oil, and tire expense. How aver, the Maxwell company. in present. tng. records of the trucks performance, aas chosen not to stress individual ,eats Instead. it has taken replies rom about 2,000 users of Maxwell trucks to whom questionable was sent.
 These replies were averaged with the result that the performance figures represents a composite of the result of experiences of 1000 users. operating

under almost every conceivable condi- tion.
 The average length of time the trucks were operated was 20.3 months; miles driven, l5.713 daily average mileage, S6.5; miles per gallon of gaso- line, HOS: miles per gallon of oil. 194.4; average load. 2,647 pounds; total cost of repairs. SS79O, for entire 2o.S months, tire mileage, 13,291 miles.
 One of the questions was. What is your opinion regarding the mechanical performance of the Maxwell truckg Ninety two per cent of the replies came under the general heading of fsatisfactory.' By that, I mean that the terms used in registering a favor able opinion ranged from best ever or can't be beat, to good or satisfac- tory Seven per cent said fair and one per cent reported unsatisfactory Regarding this one per cent, inquiry showed that the majority Of these eases Of dissatisfaction could have been avoided had the local dealer given the service ordinarily expected of him.
 Maxwell trucks are now on duty in 143 different lines of business. Their scope of service. as shown by reports of owners, is not limited to any parti- cular field of activity. While a goodly percentage Of the 10000 are engaged in delivery work for city merchants, other thousands are doing the heaviest kind of duty on farms, in logging camps, oil fields, and in regular passenger ser vice over rough roads in out-of-the- way regions not served by railroads"
