STATE LEGISLATURE APPROPRIATES
$4,000 FOR GRAVE CREEK ROAD
Grave Creek Appropriation Passed Only After Being Defeated
the Senate by the Splendid Work Jones and
Representative Fenn-Governor Will Sign Bill

An appropriation bill of $685.
900, for the Grave Creek road
between Cottonwood and Grave
Creek which was killed in the
senate last week was revived by
Senator Jones and Representa-
tive Fem in the closing hours
of the state legislature and an
appropriation for the same pro-
ject in the sum of $4,000 was
attached to the general budget
bill and passed by both branches
of the state legislature. The
first news of the passing of the
bill was received by M. M. Bel
KNAPP, Saturday morning, in a
telegram from Senator Jones
announcing that an appropria-
tion for $4,000 had passed for
the Grave Creek Cottonwood
road. 1t is understood here,
that the Governor was also one
of the instigators in having the
bill passed and that he will sign
the document goes without say
ing. The bill differs somewhat
from the first one, in that it
makes an appropriation of $780,
900 instead of $25, 900 and takes
the power of spending the money
from the commissioners of the
Joseph, Fem, Keuterville and
Cottonwood highway commits
sioners and places the disposal
of the money in the hands of the
county commissioners. The first
bill also provided that the Fem,
Cottonwood and Keutervile high
way districts as well as the coun-
ty each put up a sum of $2500
towards the construction of the
road which is also eliminated in
the second bill.
Representative Fem is the
father of the first bill, and he
with Senator Jones are sure to
Re congratulated for the splen-
did work they accomplished at
the Sixteenth session of the
state legislature.
We believe we are expressing
the sentiment of the voters OF
the west side in extending to
them a vote of thanks for theil
faithful work and the results
they accomplished for Idaho
county during the recent ses.
sion of the state legislature.

OFFICIAL DEFOOTER.

u. ID. Hamlln, who was APP
pointed Deputy Sheriff for the
west side of the county by
Sheriff Eimers some time ago
will also act in the capacity of
official defooter for this locality.
Trappers and others in this sec
tion who have hides from which
they wish to collect the bounty
in the future will not have to go
to Grangeville to have the same
defooted and the necessary
papers made out to collect the
bounty. Mr.. Hamlin now has
the necessary credentials to do
the work. This is a very econom-
ical move on the part of the new
sheriff. as many times people
taking furs to Grangeville spent
their entire bounty money for
expenses while enrouted to and
from the county seat.

cite measure which was signed
by the governor but to which he
suggested an amendment. The
bill will allow sales of cigarettes
to adults. Dealers are to be put
under a $500 bond and pay a
license fee of $50 a year.
Speaker Johnston, relinquish-
ing the gavel, told the house
that the bill was compromise
measure agreed upon by the
governor with senate and house
leaders.
Among 13 senate bills to
which the house gave approval
was senate bill 298, by which the
Albion normal school will be
moved to Burley.
Speaker Johnston, in closing
discussion on the bill, said:
"You have the opportunity to
settle this matter for all time
and if you accept it your success
sors will always thank you. BY
voting now for this bill you will
remove this temptation from
every Legislature that follows"
House bill PAT, providing for
raising the salaries of the Sec
retary of state ard state auditor
to $4,000, was killed in the house,
II to 26. The house had amend
ed the bill to include raises to
$4,000 for the state superinten-
dent of public instruction and
the state inspector of mines.
The senate eliminated the amend
ment, but authorized raises for
the secretary of state and audit
or. The house would not agree
to the bill without the amend
ment, so killed it
Contest on Primary.
The deadlock came up during
the closing hours on the direct
primary referendum after the
committees in the two houses
appointed to confer on the prim-
airy failed to agree and so re-
ported. The house passed a
Joint resolution, referring the
question to the voters at the
next general election, as to
whether or not they desired the
next legislature to pass a direct
primary law. At the same time
the senate passed a bill provid-
ing that the question should be
submitted at the primary cleo
ton. The house amended this
bill providing the referendum
should be had at the general in
stead of primary election. TIL
senate refused to concur in the
house amendment by a vote of
% to 18. The senate failed to
act on the house joint resolution.
So the primary failed to pass.

to the bone, was what Gus Mos
her suffered before being rescu-

brought to that town Monday,
says the Lewiston Tribune under
an Orofino date line of March

vicinity for the past four or five
years, was last seen in Pierce on
Christmas day. On that day
he left for his cabin on the divide
between .Orofino and French
creeks and is known to have had
a supply of provisions sufficient
to last him all winter.
Not coming out at any time
afterward, the people of Pierce
became apprehensive and about
a week ago party started out
to find his cabin. Owing to the
deep snow. which partly covered
his domicile, it could not be To-
Gated, and the searching party
returned to Pierce. Last Satur-
day. the search was resumed by
another party, and they succeed
ed in locating the cabin Saturday
There they found him, with his
feet frozen and the flesh had be-
come so mortified that from one
foot the bone was protruding.
He was still alive and able to tell
his story.
He stated that he had left
Pierce on Christmas day, and
froZe his feet while mushing
over the French Creek mountain.
He managed to reach the desert

stopped for four or five days,

Of Cadski's Husband
Hans Tauscher Said to Have
Displayed Friendly Attitude
Since the War

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3o.-Thc War
and Navy Departments see no objec-
tion to the return to this country of
Captain Hans Tauscher. husband of
Nine. Gadski, opera singer. and former
imperial German army officer, who de-
parted in 1917 with Count Won
Bernstorff while under Indictment in
San Francisco for violation of Ameri-
can neutrality. Despite the fact that
Tauscher was supposed to have been
connected with the activities Of Ger
man agents here, it was learned to-
day that the War and Navy Depart
ments believe Tauscher is in posses
sion of secret information which
would be of value to the government
and certain American industries and
therefore are not opposed to his re-
turn. officials of the Department of
Justice refused to discuss the matter.
Tauscher wishes to become an Ameri-
can citizen as an example to his coun-
trymen of the proper solution of Ger
many's future through the cultivation
of good relations with this country,
official Berlin advces say. He has
suggested that the government drop
the Indictment pending in San Fran
cisco. Since his return to Germany he
is said to have evinced friendly atti-
tude toward this country and also to
have used his influence in behalf OF
American prisoners of war.

Eliminating State Bank

BISMARCK, N. d., Oct. 3O-The
voters of North Dakota have repudi-
ated Townleysm in such a decided
way that speculation on the political
future Of the state is now the chief
subject of interest. Late returns from
the recall election confirmed the earlier
news of sweeping defeat of the Non
partisan League. Returns from all but
290 precincts out of 2,O86 in the state
give the following figures on Governor:
r. A. Nestos, Independent, 1O5, 1872; !;
Lynn j. Frazier, Nonpartisan, 94,O66.
Nestos's majority, 11,126.
The state where the Nonpartisan
League was born, where it flourished
and ruled with high and lavish hand
for five years has awakened from few
erish dreams of state socialism.
The voters who stood by the league
and it's program through six state
stoned and took in their hands a weap-
on fashioned by the league legisla-
tors, the recall. and with it they smote
their radical chiefs with a decisive
blow. The election results briefly fol
low:
Governor Lynn J. Frazier, Attorney
General William Lemke and John N
Hagan, Commissioner of Agriculture
and Labor, the "big three" the all
powerful industrial commission, are
ousted from Office.
R. A. Nestos is elected Governor
Sveinbjorn Johnson, Attorney General,
and Joseph A. Kitchen, Commissioned
of Agriculture and Labor.
Important initiated laws appear to
have carried, carrying out part of the
new program announced by the In
dependents. These laws, if passed, will
wind up the Bank of North Dakota
establish a state rural credits system
like that Of South Dakota, limit state
bond issues to $7,500,000, except as
secured by real estate mortgages re-
store the old law for repositories of
public funds and change the member
ship of the industrial commission
The new commission is to consist of
State Treasurer John Steen, Secretary
of State Thomas Hall, and Joseph A
Kitchen, the new commissioner of
Agriculture and Labor. All are Inde-
pendenta.
