Salt Lake earned the privilege last
week Of devouring the choicest meat
of the west, when buyers attending
the fat stock auction of the fifth an
nual Ogden livestock show, bid in
prize winning lambs and steers for
capital city dining rooms. James
Brennan, manager of the American
Packing & Provision Co., at Ogden,
representing the Hotel Utah, paid
17.5 cents per pound for the grand
champion carload of fat lambs
brought to the show by Mike Barclay
of Blackfoot, Idaho. This purchase
will be served, it is said, to delegates
to the National Woolgrowers' con-
vention in Salt Lake late this month
The. Rotisserie inn of Salt Lake
acquired a prize winning Hereford
steer for IL cents a pound. The
Union Pacific railroad bid in the
grand champion carload of fat steers
at IL cents per pound for its dining
and hotel department. With the dis
position of these individual efforts to
secure the finest meat at the show,
the packing house representatives
settled down to the grind Of buying
in all offers at substantial prices,
which spoke we'll for the general
average of the droves and herds. dis
played here.

required to pay some additional
amount Of this balance.
The net result of this settlement
seems to be that the county receives
right away about two-fifth of the
money which it had on deposit with
the equivalent of first mortgage on
at least $4,000 worth of property to
secure payment of the other three
fifths And neither the bond COM
pany nor Mrs. Robethan is released
from liability on their bond, and il
1t were necessary, the county could
recover its entire loss from these two
parties alone. The depositors Of the
city and school district are also Sc
cured by judgments against persons
having on the records of Bingham
and Bannock counties properties
many times greater in value than
the amounts on deposit.
rhe only concession that was
made by the county, city and school
district was to wait while for their
money; but in consideration for this
extension of time granted by them,
they all have secured everything
they could have secured by fighting
the cases thru the courts. And at
the same time they have saved what
might have resulted in very dis
astrous litigation for dozens, If not
hundreds, of persons whose notes to
the Standrod bank are now in the
hands of the Federal Reserve and
Portland banks. The settlement
will also give the signers of the
ponds q fair chance to save their
properties from being sold under the
hammer.

WHEAT GOING UP

The notable upward trend in tn,
price of wheat during the last few
weeks, due to reported crop shortage
in Canada and other large wheat.
producing countries, should give new
impetus to agriculture on Camas
Prairie.
Favored with a very fair crop this
year, Idaho county farmers viii at
last receive for their wheat a price
that is somewhere near the cost of
production. Since the fall of 1920.
wheat farmers have played in ex-
tremely hard luck, and 1t certainly
must be refreshing to them to see
the price Of the commodity they have
to sell make substantial advances
The farmer only wants a fair price
for his product, and to this he is
justly entitled. He has passed
through a long era of difficulties. and
it is sincerely hoped that his better
fortune which is now apparent will
not be merely transitory.

By such method, only on
vastly larger scale, was one Fl. F
Samuels nominated for governor o.
Idaho on the Democratic ticket, si1
years ago. Only it was the old Nom
partisan leaguers, who swarmed the
Democratic primary, and captured the
gubernatorial nomination, while the
regular Democratic candidate was put
ON the shelf.
The Free Press feels safe in predict
ing that Tuesdays primary in Idaho
county will be a farce, and will not
bring forth an expression of the
wishes of any considerable number of
the qualified electors of the county.
The average voter knows that, no
matter who is nominated for county
office, he still will have taxes to pay,

him in the face. He is displeased with
politicians and their methods, to the

STAGE LINES AGAIN

Stage lines which operate between
GrangeviHe and Lewiston, in competi
tion with the railroads, are having al
kinds of difficulties, but these troubles
seem to have arisen particularly be
cause of activities of rival stage
lines.
Competition between the stage lines
is keen, and at the present time five
or six automobile stages are operating
each way daily between Grangeville
and Lewiston. Consequently, with
what business the railroad is able to
acquire, in the way of carrying pas
sengers, the revenue derived by the
stage lines cannot be large, for their
expense is no small item.
J Now the stages are grabbing much
business that should legitimately go
to the railroad, the heaviest single
taxpayer in Idaho county. The rail-
road operates summer and winter,
good weather and bad, and regular
trains whether there is no passenger
or a hundred. But the railroad stu
