CAR CRASHES INTO POLE;
DRIVER SLIGHTLY INJURED

While driving his Oakland automo-
bile east on Front street, South Mil
ford, about one o'clock Saturday NOR
ming, Harry Jackson, proprietor of a
soft drink store in Milford, ran into a
large telephone pole at the corner of
Front street and Carlisle Lane. The
impact of the crash broke the pole
about halfway up; but the wires held
the broken end from falling to the
ground. The automobile was COM
pletely demolished. Jackson, who was
alone at the time, had two teeth
knocked out and his chin slightly cut.
To persons who viewed the wreck of
the car on Saturday morning, it is al
most impossible to conceive how jack
son escaped without serious injuries.

eral highway funds, to the Idaho Pa

Such move on tho part of tho

right direction, and would, perhaps,
offset the losses OF Bear Lake coun-
ty in past years due TO inability Of
