THE ARco ROAD

Butte county has made good
road from Arco to the Delzer ranch
and Bingham county is anxious to
complete it equally good from there
to Taber. From Arco it follows the
Howe road eight miles and then runs
on an air line on fine gravel to
Delzer's. 1t is said there are good
reasons why much tourist travel will
be diverted thru Blackfoot If this
road is made good.
The secretary of the interior has
designated the -Blackfoot road
government highway, and that
puts it in line for permanency and
federal money for futures.

The first indication that change
had occurred in Mr.. Harding's condi-
Jon came shortly after o'clock, when
Mrs. Harding personally opened the
ioor of the sick room and called to
those in the corridors to find DR.. Boone
and the others quick. At that time
Mrs. Harding was understood to have
been reading to the president, sitting
at his bedside with the evening paper
and messages of sympathy which had
been received during the day.
DR.. Sawyer was alone of all the
doctors in the presidents apartments
when the climax came. He first was
called by Mrs. Harding, who then
rushed to the door leading into the
hotel corridors and commenced an i'm
patient search for the other physi-
clans.
The death of the nations chief exec
1tive was announced in these words:
"The president died instantaneously
and without warning and while con-
versing with members of his family
at 1880 p. m. Death was apparently
due to some brain evolyement, prob
ably an apoplexy.
During the day he had been free
from discomfort and there was every
justification for anticipating a prompt
recovery"
The story of the presidents tragic
end was told officially this way:
1.-THE president died at 1880 p. m.
Mrs. Harding and the two nurses, Miss
Ruth Powderly and Miss Sue Daus-
ser, were in the room at the time.
Mrs. Harding was reading to the pres
ident when, utterly without warning,
4 slight shudder passed through his
frame, he collapsed and all recognized
that the end had come. A stroke Of
spoplexy was the cause of his death.

Big Meeting Of Red Men

On Saturday afternoon about It's
Indians assembled on the campas 81
Fl Hall to receive a report from
their Washington representative,
former Senator Fred T. Dubois, who
has been looking after legal and
business matters for them for many
years as it affects their irrigation
project.
Mr.. Dubois relation with the
Indians dates back forty-three years
when he came west and went into
business at Fl. Hall and later served
as United States marshall, territorial
delegate in Washington, representa-
tive under statehood and then
senator.
During his service as representa-
tive Mr.. Dubois conceived the idea Of
securing the water from the Jackson
Hole and Salt river drainage in
Wyoming for use in Idaho by reason
of the geographical structure of the
country, and pressed the matter to

one of the worlds leading figures,
passed away at that time when his
physicians, his family and his friends
thought that medical skill, hope and
prayers had won the battle against
disease.
The disease had been conquered, the
fire was out; but seven days of silent
intense suffering had left their mark,
and stroke of apoplexy came without
an instant's warning and before phys
icians could be called, members of his
party summoned or remedial measures
taken, he passed from life's stage at

years served his nation and for many
more years his native state of Ohio.
Calvin Coolidge, who succeeds War
rem G. Harding as president of the
United States, has been in public life
and before the public eye more than
twenty years. He was prominently
mentioned as a presidential possible
ty at the Republican national conven-
ton when President Harding was NOM
mated in 1920 at Chicago. When he
was elected for second place on the
ticket and accepted that nomination,
Republican leaders considered him
valuable asset to the ticket.
In his capacity as vice president,
Mr.. Coolidge has taken more active
part in the affairs of the nation than
has the occupant of that office in any
previous administration.
Calvin Coolidge took the oath as
president Of the United States at
Plymouth, w., at 2:47 a. m. Friday,
Aug. 8.
The new president was sworn in by
his father, who Is notary public, and
at whose home he was visiting. The
text Of the pledge is prescribed by the
Constitution, and was telephoned to
him by the White House.
Word Of the simple ceremony was
telephoned to Mr.. Coolidge's Secre-
tary, Edward T. Clark, who, after Sow

White Leader of Indians

For years the Shoshones and Ban

counsel in many of their water
problems, and when they send a
delegation to Washington to confer
with the Great White Father and
his sachems, they usually visit the
wigwam of Mr.. Dubois in the capital

their talk with him, get the lay of
