OF bitllithic paving leading from
Idaho Falls down to our county line,
and now the people living in the
middle districts between Blackfoot
and Idaho Falls and many living
nearer Blackfoot, consider the fine
paving on the one road and the dis
agreeable section of 2.7S miles lust
north of Blackfoot, and go to Idaho
Falls to trade. Blackfoot considers
That her money was taken away from
her and used to build a section of
road that constantly takes trade
away from here and may continue
to do so thru many years.
If the next road project is planned
to complete the fine road from Idaho
Falls down to Kimbalf hill and the
natural gravel road finished, the
connection to within 2.7S miles of
Blackfoot, and that gap were left to
obstrue< travel, it would still fur
Their handicap the town and turn
the trade to its competitor.
The above estimates of cost will
be modified by the varying condi-
tions of the road and the contour,
the bridges and culverts to be built
on any given section of road. The
base has to be prepared, and the
drainage provided before the surface
is laid, and whatever project is
adopted, the results in construction
and final costs will vary from the
statements as made here. These are
laid down as general conditions and
average estimates.
Commissioners Are Willing
The commissioners will probably
act upon these matters within the
next few days, and they have as
sured us that they want to hear any
delegations having plans or protests
to offer. They cannot, however,
change the rules of the state and
federal government covering CO.
operation in construction, and any
plans or suggestions offered that, do
not come within the purview Of the
statements made above, would not ,
be practical to consider. They will
appreciate it if this is kept in mind
and plans considered accordingly. |
They will also appreciate receiving
information as to the location of |
bodies of material suitable for road |
building. 80.

REVENUE OFFICER ACCUSED

o. R. Woods, revenue officer al
Salt Lake City, and former resident
OF Idaho, is being held on a murder
charge following the mysterious
death of his wife at their apart
ments at Salt Lake this week.
Somebody killed Mrs. Woods or
rendered her unconscious and put
the body on the bed, poured benzine
on the bedding and set it afire.
Woods claimed to have been bound
and tied down and locked in the
bath room by two robbers, but there
are some lame points in his story
that cast suspicion upon him.
He got loose and got out of the
bath room while the neighbors were
breaking into the room to put out
the fire that was consuming the
bedding and the body of Mrs. Woods.
She had just recently taken out life
insurance that was made payable to
him.

DEATH OF DIR. SMITH WOOLEY

DR.. Smith Wooley of Pocatello was
found dead in his office chair Mon
day morning with two bullet wounds
in his breast, an automatic Colts re-
volver clutched in his right hand
and both two bullets, lodged in his
body, both of which pierced his
heart.
There were five empty shells on
the floor and four cartridges left in
the gun. Powder burns on the body
indicated that the gun had been fired
at close range. A careful study of
all the circumstances and a review
OF the Doctors business and domes-
tic affairs fails to throw enough light
on the situation to enable the coron-
er's jury or his friends or family to
decide whether it was case of sui
eide or murder.
