FirsIWard Hall
Special Program
Christmas Day

A special Christmas program was
observed at the First ward last Sun
day. The Sunday school furnished
the program in the morning, a
special feature Of which was dra-
matization of the birth Of the Savior,
showing the shepherds tending their
flocks; the Heralding Angels and
the visit Of the wise men. Other
numbers were songs and readings
by members of the school.
George T. Marshall, Jr., was
speaker at a special service In the
afternoon. No service was held at
night, the evening being spent in
the homes in family gatherings.
On Monday the children were
given a party in the amusement hall
at 2 O'Clock. At the close of the
party Santa Claus was discovered In

Santa Claus Was
Welcomed by Large
Crowd Last Week

The reception put on by Drs. Flod-
quist & Brown with Santa Claus as
the guest of honor distributing
Christmas presents to the children
attracted company of about $500
people at the depot, of which over
1000 were children. Those who were
doing the counting report that nearly
as many more were assembled about
the streets to see the parade.
Our account Of it given in the last
issue did not venture to give any
estimate of the numbers, but all
agree that it was an exhibition OF
the real Christmas spirit, and was
one of the worthwhile events of the
season. The doctors had provided
presents for less than 1000 children
and found it necessary to go out and
buy whole stocks Of the merchants
to finish supplying the other 1900
or SO that responded to their invita-
tion.

CHAPTER xxx

In chapters twenty
seven and twenty-eight
l devoted considerable
space to the three pro-
posals and three-cor-
STD y. nered promises made
by the people of this county, the
county commissio and The Idaho
Republican concerning the bond cleo
tion and the use to which the money
was to be put. / want to go back
now and give you one paragraph on
some events that happened before
the bond election and which led up
to the bond election.
During the years 1917, 1918 and
the first half of 1919 the Bingham
County Civic league, the county COM
missiners, and many Of the leading
citizens of the county devoted, con-
siderable energy to trying to get
something done toward bonding the
county to get system OF highways
built. All of their efforts went for
nothing; no plans were formed that
they could get people to agree to.
After two and half years of agita-
ton and discussion as they con-
Quoted it, nobody had any plan to
submit and everybody seemed to
have quit the subject in disgust.
The federal government was making
appropriations to be used for road
work in the various states and cOun-
ties of the states, with the provision
that the state or county government
should also furnish certain sums OF
money on condition that they would
expend it on state roads or post
roads, meaning rural mail routes, on
condition that the county would put
up dollar for dollar with the govern.
ment. In other words If the county
would furnish half a million dollars
for road work in their territory the
state and federal government would
match 1t with another half million
dollars. States and counties all over
the country were taking advantage
of this very liberal offer on the part
of the federal government and We
seemed to be losing golden oppor
tunity by not organizing a bonding
campaign, putting up money and get
ting the government to match 1t 81
that we could get roads built II
Bingham county for one half OF theil
actual cost When the civic league
gave up the matter in 1918, and con
fessed their inability to get anything
done, and when nothing was beins

Supervisors Meet
With Members of
Welfare League

The Cochise County Welfare Lea
que, composed of Mrs. Ethel Macia, of
Tombstone, Mrs. G. II. Hipst, of Doug
las, and Miss Esther Cummings, of
this city, met yesterday with Judge
Lockwood of the superior court. and
Supervisors John Hart and |. c. e.
Adams, in this city.
The matter of taking care of those
who come under the care of the Wei
fare League and those indigents be-
ing taken care of by the county was
discussed. The board of supervisors
in past years has taken care of a
large number of indigents, who now
come under the care of the welfare
league. There was some question OF
the disposition of the funds as the
board has found it necessary to hold
some that were in dire need before
the league was able to take care of
them.
These matters were Strengthened
out yesterday and it is thought that
there will be no further trouble from
now on.

Rape lying on a bed unclothed.
Although Miss Provost was unable
to recollect a remark which Assist
ant District Attorney Milton U'ren
said he understood Mrs. belmont
made to Arbuckle about the ice, Miss
Blake SAID she remembered Mrs. Def
mont had said something about Ar
buckle always taking everything as IA
joke.
Miss Blake hesitated TO describe Ar
buckles acts in regard to the ice and
took advantage of the courts sugges-
ton that she could whisper it to the
shorthand reporter.
Miss Provost said the only times
she saw any ice was when she OBJ
served it in a bowl in Room 1920,
again when Arbuckle brought in a
piece to administer to Miss Rape,
and when some one put a bag of it at
the back of Miss Rappes neck.
She testified that she saw Miss
Rape take only one drink, but that
when Miss Rape entered the room
into which Arbuckle followed her,
she sort of skipped along" Miss
Provost described Mrs. Delmont's con
dition at the party as drunk"

To by Shoup Willing to
Back Him in Move

DENVER, Sept q. = Five of the

are opposed to present rates and Of
fering to assist in an effort to get
them lowered.
Two states, Kansas and California.
have refused to join in the petition
which it is proposed to file with the
interstate commerce commission.
Governor Shoup has received a letter
from H. w. Brundidge, president of
the California railroad commission,
in which he says California approved
terstate commerce commission order
reserving the right to make adjust
ments when necessary, so that the
state can not become a party to the
complaint. Clyde M. Reed, chairman
of the Kansas public utilities COM
mission, wrote that he did not be-
lieve all the rates were excessive.
Five states have replied to Gov
ernor Shoup's appeal, but have not
yet announced their decisions. Hhese
are Utah, New Mexico, idaho, Arizo-
ma and Montana. Texas, oregon, Ne
braska and North Dakota have not
