BUILDING OF LINE
rs DELAYED

Washington The application OF
the oregon Short Line for permission
to build a branch line from Roger
son, Idaho, to Wells, New, is hung
up in the interstate commerce COM
mission by a protest filed by the
Idaho, Nevada, California company,
OF somewhat hazy identity, which
objects to the Short Line until 1t
collects from the Idaho Central rail-
road sums which it claims are due
and unpaid.
The right sought by the Oregon
Short Line at this time is substan-
TALLY the same as was covered in a
permit issued a year or two ago to
the Idaho Central, but the latter
company has asked that its certifi-
cate be cancelled, so the Short Line
may be authorized to build.

MORE LIVES SACRIFICED
TO HAY DERRICK MOVING

Boise, Idaho, July 3.-During the
session of legislature last winter a
bill was introduced designed to pro-
tect those who found it necessary
to move hay derricks under high
power electric lines.
1t was born of an ugly record of
fatalities and provided that when a
derrick was to be moved, "a hours
notice to be given the power com
pany, which would have an exper-
fenced man at hand, without expense
to the derrick owner, to safeguard
the movers.
The bill was defeated, on the
ground that it was not practical to
give "a hours notice.
Three boys were killed at Wendell
the other day while moving a derrick
under high power line. They prob
ably did not realize the danger. The
"a hours notice, it is pointed out,
would have saved them to the citi-
zenship of the state if that law had
been enacted.

THE REPUBLICAN
rs OUT EARLY TO
ENJOY THE FOURTH

Owing to the fact that the regular
time for printing the Republican is
Thursday, and a big Fourth of July
celebration occurs in Mountain Home
on Wednesday and Thursday of this
week, we are printing the paper on
Tuesday. This will enable the Re-
publican force to close up for the two
days and enjoy themselves with the
rest of the folks.
We hope everyone will enjoy the
good things which the Eagles have
prepared for their guests. We know
that they have worked hard to give
the people something worth while
this year, and we feel that they have
succeeded.

REAR ADMIRAL SAYS
DRY LAW DRIVING
NATION INTO WAR

New York.-Rear Admiral Brad
ley A. Fiske, United States navy (re-
tired), asserts in a statement pub
ished Monday that the United States
is drifting towards war" because of
prohibition.
He advocated a conference of 100
leading citizens of the country to
find a way to eliminate the internal
friction caused by the application
of prohibition to foreign ships in
American ports.
Admiral Fiske said he believed
that the best brains of the country
should be concentrated at a confer
ence to settle the vexing question in
the same manner that the represent
atives of different nations reached
decision on the question of armament
at the conference in Washington
more than a year ago.

ONLY CALLED HIM
IAN OLD VILLAIN"

Plymouth, England Lady Astor
gave an audience of home town con-
stituents Saturday night her version
of Fridays scene in the House of
Commons, when she endeavored to
have her liquor bill brought to that
body.
She had read in one of the news
papers that a terrible scene" had
occurred, in which Lady Astor, with
flaming cheeks and streaming eyes,
mauled Sir Frederick Banbury."
Lady Astor said she was not ex-
cited, worried, or nervous about her
liquor bill, but she had waited all
day with luncheon of only hard
boiled egg and glass of water, for
the measure to come before the house
of commons.
Finally, when Banbury delayed
the proceedings, she said: 'Ive tried
kindness and rudeness, now I'll try
force. I'll hold your coat tails and
you shall not rise"
He answered. "You are not-strong
enough" and got up. Lady Astor
admitted the words: "You old viii
lain, 1 will get you next time," but
said that was all there was to the
scene.

DISCOVERS BONES
OF MASTODON

Twin Falls - Discovery Of addi-
tional parts of the mastodon skele-
ton, unearthed in the sands below
Twin Falls, in the Snake river, leads
TO the expectation that the complete
skeleton will soon be found and that
others may be buried nearby, acord-
ing to w, o. Syester, proprietor Of
the soft drink stand at Shoshone
Falls.
Mr.. syester discovered the first
few bones some weeks ago when
working his placer gold claim near
Twin Falls about IS feet below the
level. Since that time more of the
huge bones, tusk and four teeth
have been found so that the collec-
tion is sufficiently large to permit
reconstruction of the entire skele-
ton.
The discovery of the teeth definite
ly established the fact that the ami
NAL was a mastodon, OF extinct ele-
phant, which existed many thous
ands of years ago. as the scientific de-
scription Of the mastodon's teeth cor
responds exactly with those discov-
cred at the falls.

AUTO TURNS OVER
And INJURIES FOUR
Car Goes into Canal and Parties
Pinned in Water-Heroism
Of Injured Woman

AS result of an auto accident
last Friday noon four persons were
badly injured and are now in the
hospital at Burley.
Albert Anderson of Oakley was
driving a Ford car in which were
Mrs. Anderson and small son, Mrs.
Lille Woodskow and an elderly man
whose name was not learned.
Mrs. Anderson sustained fracture
of the right arm below the elbow and
was badly bruised. Mr.. Anderson
was also painfully bruised and re-
ceiyed a bad cut over his right eye.
The small boy received fracture OF
the left knee and was also bruised.
but the elderly man came through
unscathed. Mrs. Woodskow has two
broken ribs and bruises All were at
once rushed to the Harley home
where DR.. Mather dressed their
wounds and rendered medical aid.
The following morning all were
taken on No. IS to Burley and placed
in the hospital Their homes are
in Oakley, Idaho. The party had been
visiting relatives In Caldwell, and
were on their way home when the ac-
cident occurred
The only explanation the driver
Mr.. Anderson, could give OF the ac-
cident's cause was that just as he
was approaching the bridge over the
canal near the pumping plant the
steering knuekle broke and he lost
control of the car, which missed the
bridge and turned bottom side up
in the ditch All OF the occupants
were thrown under the car. Although
Mrs. Anderson's arm was broken, she
managed In some manner, to get
out from under the car, then succeed
ed in rescuing her husband and lit
tie boy. She then ran to the Jackson
garage, where help was obtained at
once and the other parties extricated.
Dr. Mather stated to the Republic
can that Mrs. Anderson displayed
great heroism and nerve as well as
good Judgment when she stayed at
the scene Of the wreck and pulled her
husband and son from under the
ear. Immediately after the party had
been rescued Mrs. Anderson was
overcome and tainted.
The car in which the party was
riding was badly wrecked and was
eft here to be either repaired or dis
posed Of.

SATURDAY CROWD
WAS LARGE ONE

Residents of Mountain Home re-
marked upon the large number OF
people on the streets Saturday even
ing last. The gala spirit seemed to
be working and everyone was feel
ing happy and carefree.
If a Fourth of July celebration
will help to bring out the good feel
ing now displayed, why would 1t
not be a good plan to have some
kind Of a roundup or celebration at
least twice year?
Suppose we start In right now and
plan for big Mardi Gras festival
and Halloween celebration for the
last of October It will yield big re-
turns in community spirit as well as
in material things.

That's Mountain Home and sur
rounding community as far as the
Big two-day celebration is concerned
The Indians from the Duck Val
ley reservation commenced coming
to the city Sunday, and by the time
the big parade is scheduled to start
the territory in the neighborhood of
Owyhee, Nevada, will be as desert
ed as an ancient magpie's nest.
The Eagles committee in charge
of the race track have worked hard
in putting the track in condition and
it is now in fine shape. Good horses
from all over the state are here to
compete in the~races to be held Thurs
day. and some warm contests are as
sured. It is probable that races will
be arranged for several days after the
two-day celebration has ended, and
lovers of the sport of kinds will get
their fill.
The parade will get under way at
$50 wednesday morning, and it will
be hummer Many business houses
are decorating cars and floats, and
some beautiful conceptions will be
entered. The famous Duck Valley
Indian band will lead off, followed
by the ex-serviee men, cars, floats,
etc., and the patriotic program will
follow Immediately after the parade
has disbanded.
The lovers of baseball will see a
fine game Wednesday, when theI
teams of Hammett and Bull hook up.
Both aggregations are putting up a
great article of ball and the game
will not be over until the last man
is out.
The Duck Valley Indian Band will
give concerts at various times during
the two-day celebration, so we are
assured of plenty of music.
There will probably be some slight
changes in the printed program, but
It will be pulled off substantially as
printed.
