The year before (1S77) the Nez
Perces, under Chief Joseph, had TAX
en- the war path and caused consider
able trouble, as recited in the history
of Solomon Newcomer. General
Howard and Colonel Nelson A.
Miles (afterward lieutenant-general)
succeeded in driving the Bannocks
back onto their reservation and the
Nez Perces into Canada.
The Indian troubles being over,
Joe went back to driving on the
Overland route, and continued in
that occupation for eight years, to
the time of the coming of the rail-
road.
April 6, 1882, in company with
Charles Walgamott, Joe located the
land on each side of Shoshone Falls
40 acres in all, 20 on each side
Their possessory rights they sold on
October 8 of the same year to SEN
ator William A. Clark OF Montana,
for $4,000. The senator bought up
scrip and secured title to the land
and still owns it; Joe staid with the
new owner a year; built the road
Shoshone (then the School Line
division) to the falls and was en-
ployed in freighting over it.
In 1884 he settled at Shoshone and
went into the livery and saloon bust
ness, staying there for two years
(1885) when the division point was
moved to Glenns Ferry, causing the
Shoshone pay roll to fall from about
$4,000 to 5000 per month He
then returned to Rocky Bar.
Mr.. Sullaway numbered HIS.
friends by the extent of his ae-
quaintances, and they are as the
leaves of the trees.

LOST RIVER ROAD
CONTRACT TO DEVLIN

The contract for the construction
of 1892 miles of the Lost river high
way in Bingham county between
Taber and the Butte county line,
was awarded to William Devlin, at
Mountain Home for $19,479.37, ii
was announced Saturday by H. w.
Gregory, director of highways. Bids
on the project were opened at Poca-
tello Saturday. The contract calls
for grading of the highway only.
Information on bids received on
another contract in north Idaho
were also received by Mr.. Gregory
Saturday over long distance tele-
phone, but he said the connection
was bad and he could not under
stand figures.
The contract involved the grading
and surfacing of S.25 miles of the
North Pacific highway between Kel-
logg and Pine creek in Shoshone
county and the surfacing with crush
ed gravel of SO miles of the same
highway between Mullan and Wal
llace.
Mr.. Gregory said the state had
estimated the work at 100000 and
that it was let for approximately
$4,000 less than this figure al
thOueh he cog1ld NOT understand tho
exact amount. He was also unable
to understand the name of the con-
tractor to whom the work was
awarded Statesman

aging the former Secretary of the
Ireasury's pre-convention campaign.
Mr.. Rockwell 'telephoned this op-
timistic view to the local McAdoo
headquarters yesterday. He said also
that Mr.. McAdoo himself is equally
optimistic, especially since the ac-
cession of the Tennessee delegation
was declared to have brought him
within six and a half votes of a ma
Jority. and with number of pro-
McAdoo states yet to select their
delegates to the New York conven-
tion.
Announcement was made Of tenta-
tive plans for the handling of the
McAdoo forces on the floor of the
convention. Frank H. Farris of Mis-
souri, probably will be floor leader.
He will have among his Missouri
assistants former Gov. Fred P. Gardner;
Charles NJ. Hay of st. Louis, who

WEIGHTS S-MEASURES
Meeting PLANNED
Four-Day Conference of National
Association to Be Opened
Tomorrow.
PUBLIC WILL BE ADMITTED
Sessions to Be Held at Bureau of
Standards.

The seventeenth annual national
conference on weights and measures
will meet for four days at the bureau
of standards, from Monday until
Thursday. and will be attended by
delegates from all parts of the United
states. State and city weights and
measures officials and representatives
of manufacturers. railroads, weighing
departments and industry will be
present for the purpose of studying
mutual problems connected with COM
mercial weighing and measuring.
This conference is an annual affair,
originally organized in 1906 for the
purpose of bringing together the Of
fcialS charged with the adminiStra-
tion of weights and measures laws
in the several states. While retaining
this character, the conference has
now expanded greatly and its discus
sionS embrace not only model laws
and specifications and tolerances for
weighing and measuring devices, but
also methods of sale of commodities,
trade practices adversely affecting
the consumer. methods of eliminating
short weights and measures and, in
short. all topics which have bearing
upon the general problem of protect
ing the pocketbook of the customer
Wherever weight or measure is IN
yolved.
VIII Discuss Bread Decision.
Prominent on the program OF the
forthcoming conference will be a
careful consideration of the recent
decision of the Supreme Court which
nullit1ed certain provisions of the
Nebraska standard weight bread law.
This decision directly affects similar
legislation already in effect in Cali
fornia, Indiana, Montana, North Da-
kota. Ohio. Oregon. South Dakota.
Texas, Washington, Wisconsin and
the District of Columbia, and indi-
rectly affects the bread laws Of some
nine other states. Representatives of
many of these states will be in at
tendance at the conference, and an
effort will be made to promote con-
certed action on their part to secure
imm ediate modification Of existing
statutes to conform to the opinion of
the supreme Court, so that the bene-
fits of this important Legislation will
not be lost to the public.
Another subject of general interest
to be considered is the testing of
taximeters to insure that they are
accurate in their charges, both for
mileage and for waiting, time. The
fraudulent marking of jewelry, the
sale of wood, the sale of berries in
baskets, the celebration of tank
trucks used in the wholesaling of
gasoline and fuel oils and similar
topics VIII complete the program.
Public Is Invited.
The meetings of the conference are
open to the public, and all those in
terested In any phase of weighing or
measuring are cordially invited to
attend.
The last conference, which was the
sixteenth, was held May 81 to "a
1928. The official report on this con-
ference has been published, and is

tive, the Commission made a further
study with the idea of locating the
diversion dam high enough on the
Colorado River to permit the con-
struction of tunnel leading to the
Williams River reservoir. This prov
ed to be the most feasible plan, for it
was found that by constructing a 92-
mile tunnel, the waters of the Colo
rado river could be diverted to the
Williams River reservoir at a cost of
about two hundred fifteen million
dollars ($215,000,O00.00). The tunnel
heading would be at elevation 1860
feet above sea level. Further studies
were made to determine the feasibil-
ity of constructing tunnel from the
Glenn Canyon reservoir and also one
leading from lower Marble Canyon to
the head waters of Verde River. The
latter plans were pronounced entirely
impracticable on account of length of
tunnels required, and the time requir-
ed for their construction.
Having decided that the 92-mile
tunnel scheme was the most practic-
able, a study was then made to plan
t1S CdItdI SNSGGI1 OH II1o Dc1S1S 10 IIIl-
gate two million acres. 1t was found
that under this plan of development,
the cost of the completed project
without interest, would be approx
mately four hundred fifty million dol
lars ($450,0 0,000.00), or $225.00 per
acre. The Arizona Engineering Com
mission therefore agreed to the fol-
lowing conclusion:
"This agrees that the High Line
Canal Project is not feasible at
the present estimated cost of
$225O0 per acre, and that no
funds should be appropriated for
a detailed survey of the project
as a whole"
On account of certain information
being unavailable, the commission
recommended an appropriation of
S25,O00OO be made by the Arizona
Legislature to check the assumed
length of the Diamond Creek-Big
Sandy tunnel and Williams River
Bouse Valley tunnel, the dam sites
on the Colorado and Williams rivers;
verifying the length of the main
canals; making approximate classifi-
cation of material, etc.
Since | was Chairman of the Ariz-
ona Engineering Commission, | took
an active part in the field work, and
the preparation of its report. A few
days after completing report of the
Commission, joined the Grand Can

this party, l selected dam sites and
supervised the survey Of such sites in
the canyon of the Colorado River be-
tween Lees Ferry and Boulder Can
yon. While the survey was being
made of that section of the canyon
below Diamond Creek, / studied the
conditions carefully in order to locate,
if possible, a site where it would be
feasible to construct dam to raise
the water to elevation 1000 feet above
sea level Such dam site was found
at point 10 miles below Diamond
Creek. A good dam site also exists
just below Spencer Canyon, but here
