Ren Evans of Arbon died in 1934; his obituary and earlier papers follow him through a road campaign, a judgeship he never took up, the mail route, oil stock and a cheese factory.
From 1934 to 1939 the papers followed the effort to rebuild Arbon Valley's worn-out wheat road across the Fort Hall reservation, from a governor's inspection in 1934 to a senator's request in 1939 for $240,000 for a highway through the valley.
