FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT AT
BAD CURVE NEAR FORT HALL

Two women, Mrs. T. R. Frazer
and Mrs. Jardin Van Loan of Paco-
tello, died Monday In Pocatello as
the result of injuries sustained Sun
day when the car in which they were
riding with their husbands went over
the embankment at the sharp curve
near the government school at Fort
Hall, and pinned the two women UNI
derneath. The men were thrown
clear of the car, and escaped injury.
Mr.. Van Loan was driving the car
at the time the accident occurred,
and the party was coming to Black
foot to visit friends. Mrs. Van
Loans side and chest were badly
crushed, and Mrs. Frazier suffered
a fracture of the skull at the base
of the brain.
1t is stated that forty cars were
overturned at this point on the yell
1owstone highway in 1922, though
no fatalities resulted from these &C.
cidents, and a number have been
overturned already this year. This
bad curve is to be eliminated, in the
road building program this year.

cd by which the mistress of the

mural decorations of the entire dom.
icile in less than minutes is being
devised here in the Nela Park re-
search laboratories of the General
Electric company.
The new device, operated entirely
by electric lighting, is capable of
throwing as many as fifty distinct
wall paper designs on the wall of
the room in less htan sixty seconds,
with practically no human effort save
the movement of a tinted glass slide
on which are arranged the various
colored daubings.
The effect Is obtained by the use
Of specially made magic lantern
box, which, when completed, may be
concealed in the room and arranged
80 that the wall designs will be
focused perfectly and changed at
will. The colors, as we'll as the de-
signs OF the decorations, may be var
led, according to the effect desired.
One may brighten the home to the
stage of absolute gaiety through a
play of brilliantly colored designs,
or change to quiet and sombre tones
at will.

A FINE PICNIC GROUND

One of the fine picnic grounds Of
the Blackfoot country is situated ter
miles southwest of town at the foot
of what is generally called the Ferry
Butte. The land belongs to Johnny
Race Horse, and is covered with a
scattered growth of natural timber
with open spaces or glades varying
In size from few rods up to few
acres. 1t is on the reservation and
near the Blackfoot river, but not
near enough to make the water a
source of danger for children
The Indian name for the Butte
is Pogoah, meaning a hill covered
with sage brush, and at a big social
gathering of many Indians and a few
whites near there last Sunday the
wish was expressed by the Indians
that the picnic grounds be given a
name to be used by both Indians and
whites, and Henry Hootchew sug-
gested the name of Pogoah Park.
He said the name of Pogoah had
been applied to the Butte for two
or three hundred years, according to
the legends of his people, and quoted
as his authority a book entitled
Uncle Mick Among the Shoshones,"
the author having studied their le-
gendry and written it up.

BUILD POWER LINES
BIRCH CREEK MINES
Warm Springs Power Company Man.
agement Looking Over
New Field.

IDAHO FALLS.-R.. F. Grouse,
manager of the Warm Springs Pow
er company, left this morning for
Dubois where he will meet with re-
representatives. of the u S. Smelter
company, which has taken over the
Gilmore-Pittsb urg mines in the Birch
creek country. The smelter COM
pany plans the construction of a big
plant at the mines which will require
power. Several hundred men will
be worked. 1t is the purpose to
build these power lines so that all
the Birch creek section may be de-
veloped as there are a number of
paying properties in that section
that have been held back on account
of the lack of power and transpor-
tation. The power company is in
position to build the lines If the de-
mand justifies. The opening of
these mines may mean railroad de-
velopment in that section.
Among the mining properties in
that section are: The Scott mine,
the Meta, the Weimer, which have
been big producers the Kaufman,
the Nicho1a, from which one-third
of the lead ore of the world was
taken at one time; the Spring Noun
tain, the Lemhi Yanion, the Red
Warrior, the Latest Out, the Pitts
burg Gilmore and others, all within
100 miles of Idaho Falls.

STANDARDIZING MAIL BOXES

Grant Holt, the carrier on rural
route No. 3, is advocating the use of
different pattern of mail box, and
pattern to be used on the rural
routes of the United States and has
presented his drawing and model Of
the mail box and post to the postal
department at Washington.
Mr.. Holt has been carrying mail
for twelve or fifteen years and has
given considerable study to the diff
ficulties in putting up and maintain
ing mail boxes. There are so many
things that can happen to the box
after being erected that Mr.. Holt
has tried to provide against as many
of them as possible. His calls for
post 6x6 inches in size, seven feet
long, set two and a half feet in the
ground, and the bottom of the mail
box being four and a half feet from
the wheel tracks. The post is set on
a slant leaning toward the side on
which the mail wagon will pass. The
front end of the box is set even with
the front side of the post and the
rear end extends back but is sup
ported by brace 2x6 and about a
foot and a half long. The brace
stands on slant and another piece
of 2x6 connects with the top of the
brace at the top of the post, it being
spiked together and is held down by
two strands of bailing wire run thru
the timber and twisted. The mail
box sets level and the object of hav-
ing the post lean toward the vehicle
is SO that the hub cannot strike the
post and it allows the wagon being
driven up closer to the mail box,
it more easy for the driver
to reach into the box.
At some places on the road where
mail boxes are set up, the carrier
has to get out to reach some of them
and Mr.. Holt has a cabinet to hold
quite lot of mail boxes and allow
the driver to reach any or all of
hem without leaving his rig. There
IS no suitable place for animals to
rub against this type of post and
nail box as on most of them. Near
y all of the posts and boxes now in
Use furnish a convenient place for
IN animal to get under or against
t and lift the box off of it's anchor
lge, and it was this feature that Mr..
1oit has been trying to overcome.

pared by the losing team. One of
the features of the entertainment

had gained an unfair advantage in
the drive. Drew Standrod from
Pocatello was appointed judge of
the trial and the plaintiff and de-

The invitation of the Pocatello
Post to attend their meeting of July
3, at which time National Com
mander Owsley will be in Pocatello,

The supper was served by the
members of the Auxiliary under the
direction of their president, Mrs. c.
A. Hoover. Miss Marjorie Albert
son played a number of pleasing
selections during the serving
of the meal, and in the meeting that
Miss Rose Engdahl favored
