SANDWICHES DISAPPEAR FAST
TRAIN CROWDED WITH VOTERS
MANY COMING FROM WOODVILLE'
TRACT NEAR SHELLEY GALA
DAY FOR THE HOME TOWN. !.

The reservoir election at Springfield
was attended by little less than ZOO
people who voted and good many
who had no vote.
It was held at the public school
building and was conducted by three
judges, ]. s. Shrock, Thomas Black
burn adm J. G. Graham, assisted by
clerks, T. E st. John, Dewitt Brown,
Fred Durkee, H. G. Allen, T. c. Sparks
Lee Cummins, Charles Young and
Mrs. L. G. Brimhurt.
Lots to eat
Refreshment was served all day
in the basement by members of the
domestic science club of Springfield
and by a committee sent out by the
people of American Falls. The lat
ter, served free lunch and the former
served for the purpose of making
money to be used for improving the
cemetery. The American Falls COM
mittee served coffee, sandwiches, with
doughnuts and apples, furnishing sug-
ar and good rich cream for the coffee.
All day the big cream pitchers stood
on the table refilled at intervals from
the buckets, and all lovers Of good
coffee helped themselves cafeteria
style.
At the other side of the room was
served various kinds Of home cooked
cakes and baked beans. Automobile
service afforded transportation to and
from the trains, and special train
service from Blackfoot at Ten o'clock
and to and from Aberdeen twice dur
ing the afternoon enabled the people
to attend easily.
The most of the interested voters
lived along the Aberdeen-Springfie
canal and in the Woodville country
near Shelley, and special automobile
service carrying them to Shelley in the
morning and home again at night was
provided for them, there being SO from
there and one auto load that failed TO
connect by reason of a breakdown on
the road.
POcatellO Helped
Supt. Brooks of the Montana divi-
sion brought the special train from
Pocatello and spent the day looking
after transportation. The Pocatello
chamber of commerce had a commit
tee working to see that all persons
directly interested in getting the stor-
age rights was given every opportun-
ity to vote for the proposed reservoir.
The committee paid the fares and for
the auto service where 1t was needed,
and the people of American Falls paid
the expense Of operating the cafeteria
luncheon. This was done because the
people Of those towns felt that 1t was
q matter of interest to the whole
valley and to their town to have the
great enterprise started as American
Falls has been waiting in suspense
for many years to have a decision on
the matter, and Pocatello, the gate

SOMETHING NEW IN HISTORY
schoolboy Discovers That Nelson Won
tho Battle Of Waterloo In
One Round.

History Is contained In the history
book is not half so entertaining as his
tory as written by the schoolboy when
he Is being examined to find out what
he doesn't know. With the concise
ness Of a press bureau, he has been
known to state: "The Battle of Wa
terloo was in 1906. Nelson said every
man should expect to do his duty.
Nelson won in one round"
Another boy seems to have got mixed
between geography and history. Ac-
cording to him, "the feudal system lies
between the Humber and the Thames"
It was the same ''young hopeful" who
stated that his fsvorite character in
history was Henry the Eighth, because
he had eight wives, and killed them
all, and the last survived him."
An original genius told the exam
liner, In writing, that "Wat Tyler lead
the pheasants' revolt because he was
himself a pheasant, and that Its cause
was that a shilling poult!ce had been
put on everybody over sixteen!"
It will be news to most people that
the circulation of the blood "was dis
covered by Martin Harvey" and also
that the three estates of the realm

AGED CARPENTER
 LEAVES FORTUNE

BRADFORD, Pa., Jan. 25.-Some time after the death of Fred Smith, of this place, it was discovered his home was a sort of treasure chest, with money hidden in unsuspected places. Smith, who lived alone in simple fashion, was an aged car penter. No one who knew him sus- Dected he had any money.
 So far nearly $5,O0o has been dis covered, the majority of which he had hidden about his home. There was also $75O in a local bank. The first finds were made in an old clock and bureau. The two hiding places yielded more than $3,000.
 The last find of any importance was made by local undertaken, who unearthed an old sugar sack in the cellar which contained $640 in silver dollars, half dollars and other small change.
 So far as is known, Smith left no will and had no relatives.

PRISON OFFENSIVE .
 TO ''NOBLE NATURE''
Stone walls do not prison make,
 Nor iron bars a cage"

PORTLAND, Jan. 25. - The i'm mortal words of the poet Richard Lovelace are wrong, if opinions Of Daniel D. Davis, alias Herman Sauer, convict on McNeils Island, at Ia coma, can be believed.
 Davis, convicted of violation of the Mann act, in a letter to United States Attorney Lester Humphreys, of Oregon, declares this degenerat- ing life. of prison psychology is dele terious to my sensitive organ of mental health, and, in sooth, the life is destroying the finer qualities of my noble nature
 Davis has applied for pardon, but Humphreys refuses to aid him. The prisoner stole a 15-year-old girl from her grandmother. He took her to New York, picked up two other girls on the way and married one of them. He had already another wife in Texas and had pledged his troth to many.
 "The inevitable process of mental deterioration is perpetual and quite noticeable among all inmates" Davis writes.
 q have a desire to reach out into the light of civilization for life that is noble and grand. l foster sanguine expectations that before my mind is obdurated by prison envir- onment you will come to my rescue and save me for future citizenship

DRY AGENT WILL
 FACE CHARGES OF BRIBERY

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 25.--While he openly preached prohibition and wig orously lauded the virtues of the Vol stead act, o. H. P. Shelley, suspended Federal prohibition agent for Mon- tana, was recretly accepting bribes totalling nearly $10,000 from brewing companies and drug concerns accord ing to indictments returned against Shelley by the Grand Jury in Butte. Shelley, national Republican com. mitteeman from Montana, will go on trial in Federal Court here early next month. He is at liberty on $10,O0O bonds.
 He is specifically charged with talk ing a S5,000 bribe from the Montana Brewing Company of Great Falls 15 days after he took over the duties of his office, September 1, 1921.
 ! Shelley was suspended August 10 1922, three months before the indict ments were returned against him. Shelley is charged with having al lowed breweries to sell beer contain
 ing alcohol in excess of the lega amount, permitting these concerns tc falsify records of operation and also permitting irregularities by numerous drug concerns.
 l Two indictments were returned against the prohibition officer-one containing seven counts, charging that s77O0 was paid him by two breweries and the second indictment, containing five counts, charging that various drug stores paid him $1,502.50. alleged to have been the "go-between' allaged to have been the "go-between'
 in the illegal transactions between i Shelley and the drug stores, while an other former prominent Helena man is mentioned as acting in similar 1 capacity in the brewery cases.
 In many speeches before conven tions and uplift meetings Shelley ap peared to be an ardent prohibitionis' and loudly proclaimed the supposed benefits accruing from the eighteenth amendment He has been closely identified with politics in Montana for many years. being the present ma ; tional Republican committeeman from this state. ... Following his suspension as prohi bition director Shelley spent several weeks in Washington conferring with party leaders regarding his case.
 As,a a sidelight to the Shelley charges, prosecution brought by the State of Montana against the Montana Brewing Company of Great Falls last summer, alleging excess of alcoholic content in their manufactured beer, failed, but few months later, on Oc- tober last, the company pleaded guilty to a similar charge before Judge George M Borquin, in Federal Court here, and paid fine of $1,500..
 The approaching trial of Shelley is attracting wide interest.
