AUGUST AGAIN
TANGLES WITH
MINIONS OF LAW

August Wagner, who because
of the eyebrow mustache he wore
earned for himself the nick
name of Charlie Chaplin,
while he served time in the
Idaho county Jail last fall for
Bookkeeping, has again got into
trouble, but seems, also. to have
got out almost as rapidly as
he entered the troubled zone.
August, who halls from KAN
iah, was arrested Saturday by
James Carlyle, deputy game
warden, of Lewis county, for
fishing without a license, and
for having in his possession fish
smaller than the law allows.
Wagner was taken before Pro-
bate Judge Ellis, at Nezperce,
and pleaded guilty to the
charges. The judge gave him six
months in the booby-hatch. and
then suspended sentence.
Last fail, Wagner pleaded
guilty to selling booze to In
dams, and at that time declared
his term in Jail in Grangeville
had convinced him of the ne
cessity of respecting the law.

Lolo pass road project, which pro-
vides for the building of highway
from Missoula, Mont, by way of the
Lolo pass and Kooskia, to Lewiston,
has been approved by Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace, according 10
word from Washington The road will
provide a short motor route from Mon
tana to the Pacific coast. 1t will open
country rich in natural scenery,
with rugged mountain peaks and vast
areas of timber.
Secretary Wallace said the building
of the entire road under federal aid
would follow. Portions of the road
for which money is now allotted lie
both in Montana and Idaho, the larg-
est section being from AIissoula to
LOlo pass. 1t is one of the largest
road projects contemplated in the
northwest. The plan of the depart
ment of agriculture is to carry for
ward the construction of this road
as fast as available funds per-
nit. Construction work this year will
be almost entirely within forest re-
serves, building progressing west from
NIissoula and another section, starting
in northwestern idaho, will be built
eastward. These forest roads will be
linked up with existing highways in

Idaho to complete the Missoula- Lewis
ton highway. 1t will take three or
four years to build the completed
road.
The Lolo pass highway will en-
ter Idaho in the northeastern cor
ner of Idaho county, follow the
Lochsa river to Lowell and thence 30
Lewiston by way of Kooskia and Orc
fino. On the Idaho state highway
system it is known as the Lewis and
Clark highway.
The state highway department and
the forest service have had serious
differences of opinion as TO the source
of funds for the construction of the
idaho section of this highway. The
state contends that it should be con
structed from forest development
funds while the forest. service is of
the opinion that forest highway funds
should be used for this purpose.
Conferences have been held between
the state and forest service officials
in an effort to work out a plan of al
lotment of the more than 100000
forest funds available for road con
struetion In Idaho this year and com
plete hramony has existed on what
projects should be built this year with
the exception Of the Lolo pass high
way.

topic of discussion on the streets in

That there will be no shortage of

and before the time for fling of nom
nations closes, July !, il is antici-
pated that scores of names will be be-
fore the voters.

auditor and recorder. is candidate
to succeed himself Mr.. Telcher, who
is native of Idaho county, has filed
the office for one term, and on his
record in that office is going before

ing with favor. So far, no one has
appeared in the horizon in opposition
TO him.
EIMERs NOT CANDIDATE
Sheriff j. G. Eimers has declared
he will not seek reelection. The sher-
iff has served one term. He has care
fully devoted his time TO the office
and his discharged the duties thereof
in a manner that has called forth
commentator.
It is reported that Chester Arnold,
deputy under Sheriff Eimers, will be
candidate for sheriff, on the Re-
publican ticket.
Political gossipers have been men
tiOning former State Senator N. B.
a.
two or three offices. II has been said
that Mr.. Pettibone might become
candidate for county commissioner
from the first district. His friends
say he is not opposed to this, provid-
ed his candidacy would be favorably
received by the people of that district.
Mr.. Pettibone also has been mentioned
as Democratic candidate for sheriff.

will he a candidate to succeed him
self on the Republican ticket. There

Democrat. George d. Smith, present
member of the board, and a Repub-
lican, it is believed will not be quail
fed to seek the office another term,

fered several months ago, and which
left him in serious physical condi-
tion.

BOND MYSTERY
PASSES AWAY
Former Clerk Walks Right Into
Vault and Locates EN-

The mystery of the missing bonds
is no mystery today.
N. l.. Lillestrand, formerly clerk In
the office Of land commissioner under
w. J, Prater, returned to the city to-
day after an absence of several days
and went straightway to the place
where the bonds were resting secure
ly in the, vault.
CONSERVATION reigned in the land
office some days ago when C. r. Kos
itzky, new land commissioner, sought
them so that $2S,OO0 could be paid to
the city of Minot, the bonds having
been purchased from that city. A
search made OF the vault then failed to
locate them. Mr.. Lillestrand walked.
right into the vault and picked them
up from under book where he had
placed them. ~
The mystery has disappeared, peace
reigns and the city of Minot will get
her money. excepting for one $1,000
bond which seems to have been lost
for many months.
