q BRIEF PERSONAL MENTION.
FRANK ". Beane, for sheriff, is we'll
and faYorably known throughout the
state. as he was formerly register of
the land Office under Cleveland's first
administration. He came TO Idaho in
1885. In lS95 he viii be the sheriff OF
this county. and # any Republican de-

give 1t. Mr.. Beane is also member of
the national committee, and has seen
enough Of Washington life to enable
him to stand high in the councils of
the parry, and this has been attested
time and again.
FRANK ByBEE,
for assessor and collector, has lived
here nearly all his life, and needs no
recommendation at this late day. He
has always proven himself an out and

IPOPULIST ORATORS AT BLACK
FOOT.
! j. w. Ballentine, Populist nominee
Tor governor, and Mr.. Spence, for the
attorney generalship, addressed the
people of this place last evening. Of
course, L listened; but not for the even
lng-iife is much too short to stand
! that sort of thing. Mr.. Spenser got
tired up after the first hour, and for
another hour and fifteen minutes
worked himself up to such frenzy that
! he was wholly oblivious of time OF
course, as might be expected, the peo-
pie all came away when he managed
to let go, and Mr.. Ballentine looked
out upon row of benches that pre-
Iviously had held a full sized audience.
Chairman Rinck, of the Populist state
central committee, would do we'll to
furnish Sponsors travelling companion
with lasso, SO he could make a
good thrown now and then. While
mot a Populist, 1 am charitable
enough to ladle out a little wholesome
advice now and then to the opposi-
ton.
SOME POINTS ON BLACKFOOT.
Blackfoot is twenty-six miles from
Pocatello on the south. and the same
distance from Idaho Falls on the
north. Without taking a census of
the population 1 will place it at a good
round 1000 people, and they are of
that type that build up rather than
tear down. They are energetic, pro-
gressive, and to all appearances are
well satisfied with their surroundings,
believing that the future holds for
them golden store in quantity. In that
they are right. I base the assertion on
what L have been able to learn dur
ing my short and busy sojourn here
What have thev here? They have in
Improvements to stamp it for "gilt
edge" and a country round about that
is fruitful in resources, and destined to
yield all the different productions in
the way of grain and fruits. Within
the town / have noticed the follow
ing: A splendid courthouse, one of the
finest Touring mills in the state, hav-
ing capacity Of sixty barrels daily,
the bank of C. Bunting & Co.. with a
capital of $4,000 and which does a gen
eral banking business, a magnificent
state insane asylum, a high school
building. three fine churches. The
United States court is here, likewise
the district court. The United States
land office is here, and there are a
gocdly number OF business houses that
seem to be all doing a good trade.
D. H. Biethan is now putting the |
touches on a brick structure |
17x55 feet, to be used for a drug
store Cozy, homelil6e and we'll shaded |
homes may be seen on every hand, |
betokening luxuries in the coming |
years.
The Blackfoot News, with Colonel |
Jones as editor and proprietor, prints |
the news, and in a way that is highly |
creditable. 1t is Democratic-it is |
right in the matter of politics, as well |
as all else.
BLACKFOOT A SUPPLY DEPOT
Blackfoot is a supply depot, and on
a scale that would astonish those not |

ing business lively in that line. The
great copper mines situated at Hous-
ton, ninety miles west Of here, get all
supplies from this point.
TRAINS OF FREIGHT WAGONS.
Trains of freight wagons line the
business in itself The wagons are
coupled up, two and three together
and from six TO twelve horses attach T

are loaded, 1 tell you. Three wagons
will haul out a carload of goods. Nine
" miles is a long way to haul coke to

i've. When hauling coke. bales and
ooxes of dry goods are piled on high.
