Last week the COmmlSSlOu6rB U
/ Bingham county took the county ca
and drove to Boise to make the in
itial move to secure a refund o
| $4,000 Of moneys paid out to paw
the first section of the FIT. Hall SAND
on the ShOshone and Bannock re
servation. They returned with more
assurance of success for the under
taking than they had hoped for be-
fore they went, and although 1t may
take some months or possibly year
| or more to complete the transaction
they have reason to believe they will
succeed.
When they laid the matter before
the governor and the state highway
commission, they met with unex-
pected response and aid because OF
the fact that the state put in sixty
thousand dollars and wants to get
that refunded. The roads across
Indian reservations are one hundred
per cent federal projects, and, the
county and state will go into the
matter jointly asking for the re-
turn of the money that was expended
while the decision was pending as to
the policy the federal government
would adopt regarding roads across
reservations.
An additional point of interest
was added to our case when the
commissioners said that when the
refund is placed to our credit we will
Immediately make application for
state and federal aid to pave the
Yellowstone highway from the
Blackfoot sugar factory north to
the Bonneville county line, dis
lance of about twenty miles, and use
this money to pay the county's share
of it. The state is now maintaining
the road at considerable expense,
for it is crushed rock surface and
during the drouth the binder has
pulverized and the dust kept blow
ing away, leaving the crushed rock
SO loose it is causing good many
wrecks from skidding This hap
pens when cars meet or pass and
leave ruts suddenly. That feature
of the road has been giving the state
considerable anxiety, |
and now with the prospect of get
ting it paved, the state is anxious
to get action. The state has no
money to pay it's share of the paw
ing, but now it hopes to get it by the
refund, and as there are about a
million dollars now lying in the
treasury to the credit of Idaho for
oint road construction, and scarce
y any counties in a position to
match it, the prospects for our new
paving project look bright. This

MARY GRA1A1A BONNER
~-~----- coPTMGHr on WL4TtAN EEW1RAPLa VfaIoN
BUNNIE BoNNIE's MOTHER

Bunnle Bonnie was named after
great grandfather Of his. For the name
of Bunnie Bonnie was a family name
of which to be proud
He was dear little bunny rabbit
and his mother dearly loved him. He
had beautiful pink eyes and soft,
white loyable body and his nose wig
gled in just the most adorable fashion
ever rabbit nose could wiggle.
Mother Rabbit said to herself:
Mothers may talk Of theib babies
and of how cunning they are when
they coo and scold and laugh and
giggle and crow. They may laugh
when their babies do such interesting
little tricks as to try to catch hold of
their toes and even look as though they
were going to have toe soup or toe
dessert the way they try to put them
in their mouths.
'sThey may be delighted to see them
eat good meals and I've heard of a lit
tie boy named CHARLES Norman whose
mother was proud Of him because he
could swallow with his mouth openi
Mothers are amused at such little
things! Now / am amused at more
important and interesting things than
those.
Il am interested in seeing my little
darling as he wiggles his nose. That's
something worth watching! He wig
giles his nose in such a perfect rabbit
fashion-oh, he is wonderful at it.
Eyes, my little darling. you are a
wonderful rabbit and no other child
could be so dear as Bunnie Bonnie
is to his mother"
Bunnie Bonnie nestled up quite
close to his mother and his soft, furry
little body was very near hers.
He had been playing. He had been
eating. Now he was tired. And as
he rested against his mother, she
thought of the days to come when he
would be big rabbit
She thought of adventures he would
have. She thought of the lessons she
must teach him. for every rabbit must
go to his mothers rabbit class.
Or he must go to some rabbit class,
at any rate, and learn what is good to
eat and what is not so good, what is
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-03-20

dangerous and what is not, when to
lie low and when to run about, who
were his friends and who. were his
enemies.
All of those things he had to learn
and many other things, too.
The school days would be busy days,
but they would all be days of adven-
ture, too. He would be adventuring
all the time, seeing new sights, learn
ing new smells, remembering the
thump, thump signals of the rabbit
world
And then he would go forth by him
self, and he would pick out dear lit
tie mate, and he would be grown up.
How strange it did seem to think of
Bunnie Bonnie ever becoming grown
up rabbit gentleman.
Perhaps when he grew up he would
pick out one of the charming apart
ments in the rose brier patch not far
away.
The Wild Rose Apartments they
were called, and there were two fam
lily houses there, as we'll as apart
ments. A long, long row of them, and
they were really lovely, and house,
keeping there was made easy.
1t was so safe-no apartments were
any safer. And with the lease Of the
apartment the dew-drop water came
with II without any extra charge.
That was ready every morning,
quite early, just when the rabbits were
looking forward to refreshing morn
ing drink Of dew water-the finest
water to be had.
SO Mother Rabbit dreamed ahead.
And she knew that Bunnie Bonnie
would become famous, and that all
the rabbits far and near would be say
ing to each other:
.sYou know Bunnie Bonnie, don't
you? A splendid rabbit chap! He
can do anything. There isn't thing
in the world he couldn't do, and that's
the truth"
Mother Rabbit could almost hear
them saying these things now.
She didn't quite know what famous
things Bunnie Bonnie would do, but
she knew he would do them, and she
put her face close down by the face
of her dear little sons and said:
"Only never take foolish chances,
my son, for they are only foolhardy,
and the really brave are never fool
hardy"
And for answer very sleepy little
rabbit wiggled his most adorable little
nose.

CrocodiEes Shed Tears
to LIRE Their Victims

The use Of the saying, crocodile
tears" is due to an old belief that the
crocodile. in order to lure its prey
within its reach, sighed and moaned
like 8 person in distress.
The expression was a common ore
as far back as the days of the Latin
and Crack authors, Virgil stating that
the crocodile "wept at the sight of a
man. anil, having caused him to APP
proach, deqoured him. The express

sion is applied to those who falsely
arouse the pity or charity of men.
Erasmus, in his "Adagia," recounts
a legend of the Third century to the
effect that crocodiies wept in order
that they might make the river banks
slippery and thus cause their victims
to fall in, later using additional tears
to soften the skulls of those who had
slipped and make them easy to mas
ticate
AS late as. 1865 we find similar
statement to the effect that lin a GER
tain countree large snakes called

There is a certain basis of truth IN
all these beliefs, because crocodiles Do
emit loud and plaintiye noises, some
thing like the bowling of dog, but so
far as is known this is not done with
any intent to lure prey within their
reach.

MYTH all the investigations under
w taken and contemplated by con-
gress and all the time it is wasting in
acrid partisan debate, one wonders
why it does not order an inquiry into
its own neglect Of pressing public BUSH
ness There are those, too, who think
there might well be an investigation
of the influences that induced the
house to pass, last week, the bill au-
thorizing acceptance of Henry Ford's
offer for Muscle Shoals. Mckenzie of
Illinois introduced the measure and 1t
was adopted by a vote of 227 to 142,
party lines being disregarded. Under
the terms of the bill Ford will obtain
for $5,O00,0OG properties that cost near
1y $84,0O0,000; he has the right to
lease dams and at Muscle Shoals
and adjacent power stations for 100
years for total rental of nearly $780,
100000; the government is to replace
the Gorgas steam power plant for not
more than the So, 427, 487, for which it
sold it to the Alabama Power COM
pany, and sell it to Ford along with
nitrate plants and 2 and the Waco
quarry It is not necessary to give
other features of the bill, but it may
be stated that the offer of group Of
southern power companies, submitted
in the Hull bill, was in the opinion of
competent authorities. much more gen
erous. Also there is before congress
a measure for the starting of great
superpower project in which Muscle
Shoals would be a vital link, and many
eminent engineers and Industrial econ
omists are convinced that superpower
development is to be the greatest thing
in the country's near future

EDWARD B. MCLEAN, the WASH
II ington newspaper publisher, ap-
peared before the Teapot Dome COM
mittee and admitted that at Falls re-
quest he had previously misrepresent-
ed the circumstances of the famous
100000 loan. His testimony may be
thus summarized:
Fall, in November, 1921, asked him
for loan Of 100000 to buy ranch
He gave Fall two checks for this
amount, but Fall returned them I'M
cashed. Two years later, in Deem
Der, 1923, Fall, a sick man under IN
vestigation, called Mclean to Atlantic
City and asked him to make a public
statement to the effect that he had
furnished the 100000, making 1t ap-
pear that the checks had actually been
cashed He agreed on Falls assur
ance that he had not obtained the
money from Sinclair or from any con-
nection with the Teapot Dome. Later,
when disclosures before the senate
committee began to arouse his suspi-
cions he told Fall he was going to
tell the truth and did so to Senator
Walsh when Walsh went to Miami in
January. He agreed it would have
been better for all concerned if the
truth had been told in the beginning.
McLean's story minimized the i'm
portance of the mass of kilograms that
passed between Washington and his
place in Palm Beach, and he scoffed
at the rumor of a million dollar slush
fund.
