No Politics on the Bench.

The War Mothers convention
brought to Salmon Frank Dekay,
former sheriff of Bingham county and
former warden of the penitentiary by
appointment under Governor AleXan
der. Mr.. DeKay was able to inform
a good many inquirers about matters
political while here-how it is that the
normal republican majority of 700 in
Bingham is likely to be cut in two and
how George B. Harris. democratic
candidate for Judge, is likely to do
even better than that, for everybody
knows Harris to be a clean-cut law
yer who thinks there should be no pol
itics carried up to the bench. Mr.. De
KAY is an old friend of Sheriff
Stroud and called to see his large and
varied assortment Of captured stills
stored at the courthouse.

Home Economics Picnic.

Miss Reese of Washington, D. c.,
and Miss Amy Kelly of Boise were
the speakers to entertain the ladies of
the Home Economies clubs at their
picnic and demonstration on Monday.
Because of the storms many were de-
tered from attending but about so
braved the rain and picnicked on the
island at II. Then they all went to
the home of Mrs. Dwight A. Smith.
Miss Reese talked on the extension
work as carried on througout the
United States,> as her visits take her
to every state in the union, and the
fact that from an economic basis the
saving far exceeds the cost Of the ex-
tension work.
Miss Kelly discussed the arranging
of a kitchen for efficiency and labor
saving.
Those who heard these talks feel
they were afforded a rare treat.

THOMAS PALMER
IN BAD ACCIDENT

Thomas Palmer, old Lemhi citizen,
fell from ladder at new house he
was building at Gibbonsville last Sat
urday, sustaining a broken collar oone
IN the accident. DR.. Wright was call
ed from Salmon. DIR. Palmer is adj
vanced in age, being beyond four score
but his robust general health IS re-
lied upon soon to pull him through
The fall was a bad one and bl!t for
striking upon a beard resting IN tres
ties it might have been fatal.
The two daughters of the old gen.
tleman, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Benedict,
came to nurse him as soon as they
heard of the accident, the former from
Gilmore and the latter from l.eadore.
The whole countryside was made anx-
ious. Mr.. Palmer is greatly beloved
and respected in the community. A
few years ago he was bereft of his
life partner by the death of Mrs. Pal
mer. These two fine old people were
always seen together when abroad
from their home.

NORTH FORK ROAD
TO BE PUT THROUGH

d. I. knight, engineer of the feder-
al bureau of public roads, on Monday
morning began setting up camp at
Gibbonsville for supervising the actual
construction of the North fork high
way, a contract for which was to be
let at the Ogden office of he bureau
on Tuesday. With Mr.. Knight are
four assistants, r. l.. Downing, K. w.
Griffin, Jack Andrews and II. Cortez.
In the present unit of construction is
the portion of the road extending as
far up the North fork river as the
Achord ranch. Beyond that point an
other survey is TO be made at once to
eliminate Objectionable features in a
previous survey. This survey will, it
is said, reestablish the line Of the road
as proposed some years ago by Coun-
~ Engineer Fred Crandall.
The engineering forces on the job
will be housed in q tent at the con-
fluence of Dahlonega creek with the
river. They viii board al the Royce
dwelling.

Heavy Rains Continue.

John Buster, the Salmon river stage
man, was nearing the top of Cleghorn
hill last Tuesday when a deluge of
rain caught him. He doesn't remem-
Der ever encountering deluge like it
before. If it had been caught into
the confines of canyon such as was
the case with the downpour of two
weeks before at the Schultz ranch the
damage might have been serious. As
it was the rain did no damage to speak
of.
In Pollard canyon and Jesse creek
the same day a deluge Of the same
sort came tearing into Salmon and
outspreading on to the ranches below.
Old-timers say it was record rain on
that day. The heavy cloud broke up
soon after passing over Salmon, but
it had great stores TO drop over the
entire locality before it did break.

Worse Than the War.

In the past eighteen months there
have died in the United States more
than twice as many Americans, as q
result of autonloile accidents, as were
killed in the great war. Only $4,000
of our boys went west in the big con
fiict, while in the last year and half
$1,000 Americans died as a result of
motor car accidents.
The startling feature of these fig
ures lies in a knowledge that the war
is ended, while the motor car is with
us TO stay and to increase in use.
Despite the heavy toll it takes in
human life nothing is going to stop
its progress.
Consideration Of the situation
brings its Importance home to the
country even more than to the city be-
cause nearly seventy per cent of the
automobiles manufactured in America
are sold and used in towns of FIVE
thousand population and under and on
the farms.
This means that preventable deaths
IN the country as a result Of automo-
bile activities is proportionately great,
a situation so serious that it cries
aloud that something be done to halt
this yearly national disaster.
One of the great sources of automo-
bile accidents is the grade crossing,
problem in every small community.
In many states the law prescribes
that when grade crossings are elimi-
mated the villages through which they
pass must stand good proportion of
the expense. This is a heavy burden
on the taxpayers.
On the other hand to order the rail
roads generally to eliminate crossings
at grade, either by an elevation or by
submerging of tracks, would appear to
be an unjust demand
This matter of grade crossings is
more than local. Indeed it is so ma
tional in character it might be well
for Washington to assist more mate
rally than it does in checking the
country's most notorious death trans.
