What For ?

County commissioners. we learn

through the first unit of the Blacl
Canyon. And The Tribune is not We,
possessed of information that gives
one sound reason for constructing a
new road except that the commits
sioners seem to be determined to do il.
What for, More economically.
the first unit can be served with cross
roads. Farmers in that district who
will have their homes touched by the
proposed road prefer the cross road
plan. They want an outlet to the
railroad. to schools and to livestock
feeding grounds. And it seems that
preceding board contracted to inn
prove those cross roads. a contract
that apparently is valueless.
Already we have one more road
west than is necessary. II the money
that was spent on the Pacific high
way had been utilized on the Old
Oregon Trail. today perfect road
would be available west And now
the commissioners talk OF anotherl /,
They say seeped conditions make

maintenance. They forget. perhaps.
hat the conditions below the first
init will prevail even there when the
econd unit is completed. As a matter
II fact, the Old Oregon Trail is a

day for celebrating the close OF
the last great war which for a
time threatened to plunge civiliza-
ton archaic chaos and utter ruin.
The observance of this day also
wildly brings to our minds the
sacrifices made for the preserva-
ton of all we hold dear by the
heroic men of America, many
of whom gave the last full mea-
sure of devotion.
1t is in keeping with the spirit
OF loyal citizens in treasuring the
memories of the immortal deeds
of our patriots to set aside one
day in order to impress our minds
with the great accomplishments
OF all who labored to bring the
recent conflict to 4 successful con-
clusion. This day should be one
of rejoicing for victory: prayer
for the boys who did not come
back and thanks to Almighty God
for his many blessings.
Since November llth falls this
year on Sunday and since the
national American Legion has set
Monday, November 18th, as the
day for observing Armistice Day
l deem it meet to follow that cx-
ample.
NOW, THEREFORE, !, c.
c. Moore, by virtue OF the author
ity vested in me as governor, do
hereby proclaim November IL.
1928, a holiday in the State of
Idaho, and do earnestly recon-
mend that all people by public
manifestation and gatherings do
unite in celebrating the ending
of the sanguine conflict and in
paying tribute to the defenders
Of the nation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, l.
have hereunto set my hand and
caused to be affixed the Great
Seal of the State of Idaho, at

Reports Of Domestic

Be Myth.

VIENNA, Oct. 25.-(United Press.)
Captain Won Houten. chief Of the
military police in Doorn-the one
man in all the world who is supposed
to know what is going on inside
Castle Doorn-says that the house
hold of the ex-Kaiser is nc different
from other ordinary households
throughout Holland and the rest OF
the world.
Won Houten, speaking at the re-
cent international police chiefs som
ference here. declared:
almost daily I come into direct
contact with the ex-Kaiser and his
household and I can assure you that
stories regarding differences in the
house of Wilhelm II. are a myth.
1.-The Kaiser lives with his wife
and other members OF his family
on the best of terms. The conduct
of their household is very simple
and the Kaiser and his companions
bother themselves very little with
political matters.
1.-THE relations between the Kaiser
snd the crown prince are no better
and no worse than in every family.
Every family has It's frictions."
The task of guarding Doom
against the escape of the Kniser re-
solves itself rather into the task of
guarding the Kaiser. as far as the
Doom police are concerned.

TUo Stories of
Double Murder
Heard by Jury

BOHEMIAN. Mont. Oct. 25.-Twc
versions of the killing of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Sprouse, South Dakota
automobile tourists who met their
deaths near Central Park, Mont,
November IA. 1920. were before the
Jury in the Seth o. Banner trial
when IL was recessed here. The
FIRST version. as told by Mrs. Banner,
child mother and former wife OF the
defendant. was that banner shot
Mr.. Sprouse to rob him and then
killed Mrs. Sprouse to prevent her
from informing the authorities.
Tho second was conveyed to the
jury today by the defense in the
form OF hypothetical questions to all
of which Mrs Banner answered
mo-.
This version was that Mrs.
sprouse had surprised her husband
and Mrs. Danner in improper asso.
citation and had killed her husband
with a shotgun. Then. while at
tempting to kill Mrs. Danner with
a revolver. Mrs. Sprouse had been
struck on the head by her intended
Victim with a hand ak. dying in
commissions 20 minutes later.
Two hours and a half of cross
examination failed to shake Mrs,
banners story. In a quiet voice
which seemed to come from utter
WEAKNESS and resignation, she re
piled to questions of Attorney
Justin NJ. Smith. She admitted that
her marriage to Danner at the ago
of Is in Dillon, Mont. in 1916 took
place after proceedings had been
instituted against Danner by county
authorities. the child being born the
next day. which was Christmas eve.

was away from camp and you were

will go with me. I will dress you
