The expense attached to the special is iron? $800 to $tooo, br during the witter aeaaon tlie aitofLfroin . the main . line of thc Short Lne to Yellowstone National Park is not mcd and therefor the track is nor. in the best of condtion as well as blocked with snow- Through the use of the long distance telephone, Harry I^rrberton, who b it the rnonjitains with a searching parry communicated from the range cabin w th Lee and it , was agreed tbey should meet at Big Springs 'tonight or tomorrow inornng, At this conference Lam: lerton wfl report his findings nnd the plan taking a trip to Jacfc-noo Hole will be gone over. The theory entertsfned by experienced hunters famijiar wth the toitcrn Fremont county country is that Corbin ran across a num. her of elk and in the mad chase to tiring one of the animals down "tbey lead him far from Big Springs and that vcinitv, over the divide and into Wyoming. Knowing thai Jackson Hole was before him arid that ' t e a famous retreat for elk he decided to keep on the traD _ of the animals eventually going into that section, Where, finding ' the sport was good be decided to remain, or. having completed his hunting. Is now enroute for home Laat season Jackaon Hole became famous1 for the irnmber of elk that retreated there during the severe winter and the many that \died ol exposure. The trip, however, troo? Big Springs to Jackson Hole is a very dangerous one and vnly be accomplished by one fam-iliar with the timber and ah experienced hunter. There arc many hunters who re-hue to accept the Jackson Hole theory, declaring that't would be impossible for Corbin,' equipped as he was, to make the long journey to say nothing of his horse, which would have to travel without proper food. Until 'definite news o learned of Cnrhin aj lo wlietlier he or dead, theores will be advanced as to how he.met his fate, or tb> ]•••>- b lilies of his rescue- It was itated by an experienced hunter today that ii would have been an easy matter for Corbin nnd his horse to have slipped on the traJ and fallen down'the tfde of the mountain where, eventually, they were hurried breath many feet of snow. The most ba fifing f.-ature of .lie tacts surrounding Corbin * d sap pcarance s that no trace whatrv- . n has been found of his horse. It lias been said that the animal may have broken a leg and to end rnisery Corbin kSetd it. Without rood the horse could not have trav ded fan and sooner or later it would have to be abandoned- If abandoned H is claimed by rmny that the searchers would haVi found *t m the victory in which Corbin wss l u t seen. Othet suggestions are that both men and horse may have" fallen into a sink hole and been killed. On receipt of telegraphic request sfrom Bo Be, the war department telegraphed Major Brett, superintendent of tbe Yellowston, national park and former stationed at Boise, to send out searching rartea to look for Corb;n. There are a number-of famous government scouts now with Brett a the National park and they have been brought into service in an attempt to locate the nfismg man- Troop1 have been detailed to cover the more nsolated sections of the for-cst- and especially to. patrol (bat ikctxm bordering on eastern Fremont County. It ia believed that f Corbu is in the park he will be. located sooner or later by these active troopers, who are familial with tbe park and are equ pped to cover a great deal of ground in a -hort rime.- I t ia reported that snowstorms are raging n the national park and eastern Fremont county, causing the search to become more difficult assessor to appoint deputies and clerical assistant* when so em* 'powered kf die board of county j •commiss pners and which prov dcil for'sheriff* to succeed themselves the fote-atood: No 19406, yes 3^049: no 18,500. yes 30X41; no In the second proposed amendment, which submitted the qucst- :on as to whether or not the supreme court jhall be authorized to call a d strict judge to sit therein when a justice of the supreme court is disqualified or unable tc tit therein, resulted 31 a vote of no 12,630, yes 36 593- Thc ih rd amendment which was proposed dealt wilh the quest- •on as to whether or not tbe legislature should ba perm tted to authorire a bond issue sufficient lo complete the construction and funrshtig of the state eapitol- The vine resorted, no 21,637, y*5 26.189.

The Post was bound to jecrecy as it were, or asked to give no publicity to.the nutter, and respected, lor a t"me, the "wish of some of thc club officers, but it seems the -iame pledge was not exacted from other papers in the community, wc do not feel bound to respect the wish of the secrecy, ao we give the matter that our readers rosy know- Tt wil be remembered that s ntoYerornt waj agitated two years ago, and was fairly in good working order, but a kick wss made by individuals—whose names wul be temporarily wthheM—on the, line of demarkation, some adhearing for a line north of Shelley, and others for the base Tne, which ruru sooth of Shelley. For a time if looked as though a zigzag compromise line would eventually be agreed upon But reports- were made to ihe club, and meetings were held and to make a long story short the thing standi Just where it stood prior to the iiegotia-lions with the residents of Black-foot. For one thing shoufd be borne 111 mind- The residents of Black-foot do not want county division— unless, perchance, an arrangement could he.peeieccd whereby a great slice of territory legitimately belonging to the north half of the county was conceded, and in that event, division would be worse than useles.1. Every obstacle pos' s:ble will be thrown in the way of division by Blaekfoot people, and they are not to be criticised In the least for it. They are holding onto the projiosit^n as tang as they poss-bly can, ahd there is no rea-c- n why they should not- But commercial, political aod other matters haye reached that -tape that makes it imperative that Idaho Falls has recognition of its own as .-the legitimate bead of a -ounty—Idaho Falls Post A I vcly meet ng was held in the Commercial Club rooms la>t Wed- -.esday even ng w hen a large/number of Ihe club members assembled •ii regular meeting. Reports Font ibe various com mil tecs were aeeptetl li% ihe club The most important report given WSS that i»f the road comm ttee. In the absence ol chairman Webster Pres'dent Henry T Flamm gave Ibe report. He said lhat tbc Sun-nyllcll toad was now open and that ivith the exception of moving the lencei on the r i:ht of way in two places that t wss already for use- However, it (s !>eing used at the present time neTng opened up a few days ago. He complimented the people «f Sunnydell for the manner in wh:ch they hail come through and 1 red np to theii rgrermcnt. that of op-nTig the toad irom the Sifiton dug-way to Sunnydell. He said thai the com missbner; had done their part by completing the dug-way at Suttoi, sod when the fences were moved m two places thit tbe people of Rexburg had J6ne the r part and lhat when completed tt would be one of the best pfeces of road la the county. The commercial club gave the road committee a vote of thanks lor their efforts and praised nCtl very highly for thc accomplishing • f rr-uch good- The road com-ni. ltce nf the Commercial dub baa '•cen a live one and the people of Rexburg and vicinity sfaould appreciate this fact. If the dub had done nothrig else except that wtveh thev have done for the loads. It has done faithful service « r the.people of the town and is worthy fo be classed among our Ire* institutions. A resolution was passed corn-mending the citizens along the Rexburg Canal in the c ty, the Rex-hurg Irrigating company and tbt City Council for their efforts to change the course of the canal to the north dty limits. Thc Commercial Club rooms were rented to tbe Presbyterian Church. Other m nor matters were gone over snd tbe meeting ad loumed.
