TWO LIVES ARE
TAKEN At N0TUS
Fast Mail Train Kills
Mrs. Will Ode and
Daughter.

NOTUS.-Mrs. Will Ode and
her 15-year-old daughter are dead
as the result of an accident that
occurred here about GAO Thurs
day evening when No. S, west
bound mail train, crashed into a
buggy in which the two women
were driving into town. Mrs. Ode
was killed instantly; her daugh-
ter died while being taken to her
home a short distance south of
Notus.
The accident occurred on the
main line crossing, practically in
the heart of town. Driving into
Notus the two women evidently
endeavored to stop the team south
of the tracks to permit the mail
train, which does not stop here, to
pass. The team became unman-
ageable and plunged across the
track just ahead of the train.
So great was the impact and so
solidly did the train collide with
the buggy that both buggy and
occupants were carried a consid-
cradle distance down the track.
One of the peculiar features of the
accident was the fact that the
team escaped without scratch,
having crossed the track before
the impact came, and being cut
off entirely from the buggy.
Mrs. Ode was terribly mangled
but her daughter, being on the
side away from the train, escaped
with lesser body disfiguration
DR.. c. M. Haley and County Cor
oner Paul Case were immediate
ly called. 1t was not known
Thursday evening whether or no
an inquest would be held.
Mrs. Ode was the wife of a wei
known and respected farmer o
the Dixie Community.

hitherto undefeated Boise high aggre-
CATION here Tuesday evening. The
score was 90.
Field, Caldwell twirler, pitched a
mastery game. Only in the first in
ming when two of Bosses four sale
ties came in single stanza, was the
Caldwell pitcher in danger of being
scored upon. But with men on Sec
ond and third, Boise batters lacked
the punch to put the runs over the
plate.
Caldwell started with it's usual
drive, amassing three runs in the first
inning, when Merle HURT laced a
long double to left field with the
bases loaded after two were down
1t was mighty and timely wallop
and drove in enough runs to cinch
the game.
Richardson for Boise pitched nice
game, but his support was ragged in
the extreme and hobbies came at such
times that Caldwells four hits were
converted into runs. While Boise
was booting the ball around, the Cald
we'll team played errorless ball, al
though Fields pitching was of such
high order that the infield had nc
really difficult chances to handle.
Cameron, Boise heavy hitter, only
got one real blow, although he die

REAL PROGRESS
MADE IN PLANS
/. FOR BIC EVENT
District Track Event
Program Already Well
Worked Out; Fast Ath-
letes Coming.

Preparations for the high school
sectional track meet are progressing
rapidly. This meet which will have
entered the fastest high school track
men from all southern Idaho high
schools, is to be held in Caldwell I'M
der College of Idaho auspices, May f.
Predictions are being made that of
the 1870 athletes who will be eligible
to attend the district meet, not less
than 100 will be in actual attendance
when the starter fires the shot which
will start the 50-yard dash, always
the first event of meet. 1t is con-
sidered quite likely that preliminary
races will be necessary in the event
the large number of entries makes it
impossible to run all contestants in a
single heat. If this is necessary, these
preliminaries will be staged in the
morning, together with one or two of
the field events.
J. J. Rae, superintendent of Cald-
we'll schools and an ardent devotee OF
amateur sports, is to have charge OF
field preparations and to superintend
the meet. Anse Cornell has been en-
gagged as official referee and starter
and other capable officials will be OBJ
tanned to the end that the meet car
be handled expiditiously and eff
GENTLY.
Fences will be built on the college
side of the field to prevent the Grove
Overlooking onto the track. Specia
police officers will be deputized t.
keep the field clear. Automobiles will
be lined on the south side of the fielt
while the north side will be reserved
for pedestrians.
Because of the crowd of athlete
expected here 70 rthe meet, the higl
school P. T. A. Monday evening tool
up the matter of providing accommo
dations for the guests. AS a result
not less than 50 athletes will be takel

organization was requested to act a

Traction Company Man.
ager Makes Attitude of
Concern Clear; Preser-
walton at Stake.

Expressing surprise that a quasi
lie utilities commission is should have
taken the attitude that it did, accord
ing to a statement emanating from
one of the members of the commits
man, Thursday morning, c. D. Purk-
hiser, manager of the Caldwell Trac-
ton company, Thursday afternoon au-
thorized statement making clear the
traction company's attitude and on its
protest against the Homedale extern
sion.
Il am at a loss to understand why
the state commission should be TAX
ing up the fight for the Oregon Short
Line" Mr.. Purchaser said. THE Ore
gon Short Line Is we'll able to fight
its own fight. Nor can l understand
why the commission or the governor
or the attorney general of the state
should take it upon themselves, eth
er in their official capacity or as in
dividuals, to assure the interstate
commerce commission that no protest
would be filed and then, when one is
filed, to interfere in any manner and
especially in the manner indicated by
Mr. Erbs telegram to the interstate
commerce commission.
"Mr. Erb has assumed matters to
exist which arc far from facts when
he calls my action dog in the man.
ger attitude. 1t was filed solely as
matter of self-preservation for the
enter our territory with the differ
ence in rates that would then exist, it
will mean the closing down of the
Caldwell Traction line and the dispo-
sition of it at its junk value.
THE public utilities commission has
been fully advised of our intention to
file this protest for a considerable
time. Surely it didn't come to Mr..
Erb as complete surprise. believe
that if some of our state officials
would devote more time to the inter-
ests of our own state utilities which
have just barely weathered the storm
the past few years, they would come
more nearly serving Idaho and filling
the positions that they occupy"
Mr.. Purkhiser pointed out that fail
ure to build the Homedale extension
did not mean, as alleged, the financial
ruin of upper Gem district farmers.
Most of this traffic will be within
three miles of the Caldwell Traction
company terminal, and easy trucking
distance, while 1omedale can well
care for the lower district business
without long hauls. In defense oil
this contention, Mr.. Purkhiser point
ed out that most of the Huston dis
trict farmers trucked to Caldwell las
summer, a distance greater than will
be necessary for any upper Gem dis
trict producers.
Concluding, Mr.. Purkhiser said tina
it was not the intention or desire o
the traction company to deprive an,
grower or producer of railroad facili
ties. But the traction company ha
been operated under a severe hand
cap the past two years and is onl
now getting to the place where it ca
face the future with confidence.

With the passing Of the primaries
and the selection of candidates the
real political battle proceeding the
November election is now on. The
coming campaign threatens to be one
of the most bitter this state has ex-
perienced in long time, Judging
from the mud singing that has even
developed before the primary election
1t is regrettable that candidates and
their partisans cannot confine them
selves to attacking the policies Of
parties and not the candidates them
selves. 1t is easy to find flaws in
individuals, but only the flawless
should indulge in showing up tbs
flaws Of others. and who Is SO flawless
as to take the place Of censor?
