sign about 12x14 inches in size
and there was another one at each
end of the bridge saying the road
was closed. The one at the north
end Of the bridge was placed opposite
big decorated sign about AXIS feet
in size telling about merchandise
them said they saw the big signs
but not the little ones telling about
the road being closed.
County commissioners comment
ing on the matter said they had had
a great deal of trouble with the
public breaking down the detour
signs and the barricades and signs
indicating the road was closed. One
of them said they had built good
PANELS of board fence across the
road that bull could not get thru,
but that the drivers smashed them
down and went on, disregarding the
signs saying the road was closed or
the bridge out or danger ahead.
Night officer Clark when informed
CT the condition Of the bridge, hur-
ried out and placed a man at each
end to keep watch until he could get
the road superintendent and some
lanterns, and again barricade the
bridge.
No provision was made for foot
men who might be stranded on the
wrong side of the river, and Mr..
said that somebody max
ing the crossing on the railroad
bridge called to him at about the
time he took the plunge.
Inquiry as to why they did not do
the work in the night when there is
no travel, was answered with the
statement that they could not get
men. They said it was difficult to
get men enough to do it in the day
line. Asked why they did not repair
one side at time, keeping one track
open, they said the Orders were de-
;ayed and weak and had to be re-
llaced.

OLD FOLKS DAY

Thursday, Aug. 80 will be Old
Folks Day here this year and the
Mormon people have organized COM
mitees to assemble, feed and enter
tain for the guests.
Everybody over the age of sixty
years is invited, and it does not
matter what their church affilia-
tions are or whether they have any;
this is Old Folks day regardless.
A good many cars will be needed
for gathering them up and taking
them home, and car owners are in
vited to wash and polish their
chariots for the occasion and do their
most careful driving that day. The
cooks are hereby informed that con-
siderable cooked nourishment will
be needed that day, and offers of
goods and service will be much ap-
preciated if wired in to the COM
mittee.
We will publish the names Of all
committees next week, and we want
to remark that help that is offered
to the committee always seems q
little better than help that has to be
asked for, 80 when you see the list
of committees, ring the one in your
locality and tell them to put you
down once and then command you.
That always makes committee men,
bers feel good and think fast, and
when they have done the fast think
ing, that ought to be their share. The
others should do the work II they
furnish good plans.

who was recently committed to the
asylum at Blackfoot as the result of

NINE DISASTER AT KEMERER

An explosion in Frontier Mine No.
l at Kemerer, Wyo., the first of the
week with about $50 miners at
work, resulted in the death of about
100. of them, and injury to others.
Teh force of the explosion sent smoke
thru the mine, ripped up the tracks,
tore out the lighting system and put
the pumps out of commission. The
pumps that carried out water at the
rate of $4,000 gallons a minute be-
ing out Of commission, left the mine
to fill rapidly with water. Electric
fans operated to clear the smoke
from the mine and rescue workers
brought thirty-seven men to the sur
face in short time. Heartrending
scenes were enacted about the mouth
of the shaft as men and bodies were
brought to the surface.

WOLVERINE ROAD REPAIRS

The road thru Wolverine and over
the pass is in pretty good condition.
The rocks have been removed and
some washouts repaired. The re-
ports that have been circulated to the
effect that the road was closed were
not correct, but there were two or
three places that were difficult to
get q car over.
There are three places near the
summit that tax the power of the
better class of cars to ascend, and 1t
is generally conceded that Fords can
not go up loaded. Ford parties gen.
orally do some tightening of loads
and some pushing for few rods at
three places.
When a band of sheep goes thru
they get some loose rocks into the
road, the quantity of rock depending
upon the way the sheep are handled.
Some herders string the sheep out
and keep them moving along in
single file for the most part and they
do scarcely any damage, but others
move them along in punches that
swarm above the dugrOad and oc-
casionally send q dog around above
them to drive them down enmasse
into the road and they bring down
an avalanche of loose rocks. The
law makes the owner of the stock
liable for the cost of repairing after
his herd, but it is not very we'll en-
forced.
Most of the rocks on the Wolver
inc road are of lime formation and
crush quite readily under wagon
wheels, especially the heavily
loaded wagons, and that makes the
roadbed better all the time.
The road on the eastern slope OF
the range has a gradual ascent and
is not at all difficult to ascend, but
on part of the western slope the
was not we'll supervised
cend too rapidly in places and drops
down again, losing the advantage
gained A few such places need do |
ing over or trimming some to make
them all right for Ford cars, and /
more acceptable to others. The road
was laid out on an s per cent grade,
and was sponsored by James Christ
ensen, who superintendent most of
the work. He received an injury
that kept him at home for a while
and it was then that dugroads were
made on some of the hills that have
not proved at all satisfactory. A few
lays work at each place with a
couple of men and teams, work done
by men who know what is needed,
would change 1t from a work-your-
road to a road that all cars
could negotiate, ascending the prin
,ipal part of the range from either
tide in thirty minutes.
The year 1922 saw the greatest
,olume of travel of a merchantable
lind on this road, when a stream of
rattle poured across getting out
imber for potato cellars. During
July, August and September the
our-horse teams went in caravans
cross the range, the largest string
eing nineteen outfits, and this traf-
c crushed loose rock and packed
he roadbed, and the rain and snow
t winter did some cementing of the
rushed rock. If timber brought
nto the valley on wagons is worth

imber before this time, and it is get

NAV. of course, be stored In jars OF
any convenient size Otherwise,
small bottles holding about half
cupful are recommended In order to
do away with the necessity of reheat-
ing the extract or reprocessing jar
to prevent spoilage each time part
of the contents Is removed.
Making Citrus Pectin
Pectin extract may also be made
from citrus fruits, preferably thick
skinned oranges and lemons. ING
fruit should be- washed and wiped
dry and the outer yellow rind should
be pared on carefully. using silver
or glass knife or a steel blade that
does not stain. Next cut on the
white peel In as large pieces as pos
sible, making sure that none OF the
fruit adheres to 1t. II IS much IS
one-half pound Of peel is collected ct
one time the extraction Of the pectin
may be begun 1T once. II, however,
the peel is collected from time to
time In smaller amounts 1t can be
dried and kept until there Is SUI
f1cient to make 1t practical to extract
the pectin. In this case somewhat
different method is followed.
In making pectin from fresh peel
use two quarts of water to one pound
of fresh white peel. The govern
ment's instructions are to put the
peel thru a meat grinder, using the
coarse blade, and then place 1t In an
enamled ware (granite) saucepan
large enough to permit rapid boiling.
Cover the peel with the water and
allow 1t to stand for one or two
hours. Just before beginning to heat
measure the depth of the material In
the pam This may be done by stand
ing a silver knife or spoon handle
upright in it and then noting this
depth in inches. Boil rapidly until
the volume is reduced to little less
than one-half of the original, meas
uring the depth as before. Strain
thru four thicknesses of cheesecl0th
and allow to stand until dripping Is
complete. The dripping may be
FASTENED by pressing the mass
lightly with spoon.
Two more extractions are made in
the same way, adding two quarts OF
water to the peel each time. 1t is
not necessary, however, to allow the
peel and water to stand for an hour
before heating. Mix the three ex-
fractions together; the total should
be about two and half pints. Lemon
extract made this way Is sufficiently
for use, but better re-
suits are obtained with the orange
pectin If the combined extracts are
by boiling unti1 the
yield is reduced to two pints. Stir
the liquid to prevent scorching.
This citrus-pectin can be stored In
the same way as apple-pectin extract
but it does not always keep so well.
IL 1t is to be stored for
3 month or longer the sealed bottles,
II Of small size, should be put in
boiling water for twenty minutes, or
II of large size, they should be kept
In the water for thirty minutes.
Pectin extracts should always be
shaken before using.
Good Pectin Recipes
Besides its use in making jellies
Dectin can be employed in making
frozen desserts. For instance, a de-
icious sherbet can be made by COM
)ining one cup of rich, tart apple
,ectin, cup of sugar, a cup of milk,
cup of cream, few grains of salt
md from teaspoon to tablespoon
# lemon juice, If desired. Freeze

making ice cream.

INDIAN COUNCIL MONDAY
Continued from page 1
the unwary, making paupers for
somebody to care for.

Mr.. Dubois said he had only lately
discovered that such papers were Is
sued, and while he did not know
about these abuses here he had been
afraid it was wrong. He believed II
was a measure intended to give
Oklahoma Indians the right to lease
their oil lands or sell them, and, OF
course, the law was made general
and applied to all the Indians. II
they approved of it he would ask
members of congress to introduce q
measure exempting the Shoshones
and Bannocks from the operation of
the law, and 1t would be necessary
perhaps, for him to have q formal
protest prepared by them and sent to
Washington to sustain him in his re-
quest for such legislation.
The Indians talked 1t over to-
gether and decided that such action
would best enable them to have pro-
lection for their people. They agreed
with Mr. Dubois that the way for the
Indians to remain independent and
self supporting was to hold their
lands and make improvements rather
than selling them.
One of the Indians said he had
some coded land in the upper Port
Neuf valley that had no water right
and wished to know whether it could
be arranged to secure a water right
in the financing and building of the
FIT. Hall or the Greater Fit. Hall pro-
ject, and Mr. Dubois said that was
the kind OF needs the projects are be-
ing promoted for, and that he could
MT dn6nifolU ohnnf fhia
piece of land, but it was detail that
would need to be looked after during
the progress of the work and he
hoped it would be done. But as to
the location of this land, he did not
understand how it could be ceded
land if it was in the upper Port Neuf
valley, as all the coded lands were
within five miles Of Pocatello.
Further talk thru the interpreter
revealed the correction that 1t was
decided land and he still held the
deed.
Another Indian speaking thru the
interpreter asked about the money
that was given by the Oregon Short
Line for the right of way for the
road when it was built What was
ever done with the money.
Mr.. Dubois said that was a good
while ago, back in the year 1881, and
the price paid in money was $4,000
and some other considerations, free
riding on the platforms of passenger
trains, he believed, covering period
of twenty years or something like
that. The free riding privilege for
the Indians has been lived out, and
forty years was a good while to go
back to see just what the Indians had
done with their money.
The Indians smiled at bringing up
that question for the senator to
answer, and passed to other re-
marks and made it known that the
particular errand they had come for
had been satisfactorily attended to,
and they wanted to assure Mr..
Dubois that their hearts were glad
because of this sitting with him and
hat they would return to their
homes leaving the matter in his hands
or action and that they would do as
le wished. They all shook hands
cordially with the gray-haired states
nan, who bears their messages to 4
y Washington, and went their way.

Corporation Counsel T. Gillespie
Walsh making plea of leniency for
a disabled overseas soldier, charged
with violating the speed regulations

was temporary totally disa bled
overseas soldier, under treatment by
the Veterans Bureau for his physical
trouble and drawing compensation,
most of which he sent to his wife;
that the man was a student at the
Catholic University. taking a special
course in mathematics, and was
otherwise a good citizen, law-abiding,
and that this was his first offense.
He made a strong plea for temper!ng
of justice with mercy. Judge McMa-
hon took the matter under advise
ment and before the court adjourned
sentenced the man to pay the mini
mum fine OF SIS.

Courts:s1725 18th street, with two bullet
wounds in his head
Capt. H. L. E. Long. a member Of
the jury. after examining the auto
matte pistol which was found near
the dead man, testified il would not
have been necessary Sor the trigger
to have been pulled. twice. but that
the one pull on the trigger would
have discharged bullets as long as
the pressure remained.

counted by f. d. Hulen, Concha s
roommate. and Detective John Fla
herty told the jury of finding the
pistol on the floor between the left
hand and hip. He also told of discov

play any unusual attitude
