The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1904-08-12

Now that the Republicans have
held their convention in Idaho
the Democrats will feel a great
deal better since they can hold up
their hands and make their usual
bug-a boo about the awful things
that will happen, or which would
happen but for the fact that they
will Jump in and save the country
at the ballot box. The way they
and their Populistic friends have
saved the country every time they
have got Into power is the reason
they will have another admins
tration very much like the one we
are now enjoy ing. The fact that
Mr.. Gooding is IA sheep man will
be their reason for predicting the
repeal of the two-mlle- limit law,
Notwithstanding the convention
indorsed it; the fact that Gov
ernOr Morrison was not renOmin-
ated will be their excuse for
shouting Inconsistency" while
if he had been nominated they
would say hat the clique had to
be kept together to keep them
from "sqrealing" on one another.
They will put up a big bluff, but
all the time they are doing it they
hate themselves as bad as ever.

THE FATE OF OUR FAIR

Ever since the days when the
athletes from the countries bor-
dering the Mediterranean gath
cred together annually fer the en-
joyment of the "Olympian
Sports" the idea of annual fairs
has been developing, with var
ious features gaining or losing
favor according to the conditions
which existed, and according to
the character of the people who
nodded the events of the age.
Contests for prizes have always
been a feature of the Olympian
sports and of the fairs into which
they developed; but the character
of the contests has varied with the
purpose and character of the PEG
pie. The days OF the sgreat
wrestler" the "big eater and the
"mighty hunter came and went
as did also the times of the marks
man, the orator and the mathema-
tician. There was less incentive
to be perfect in mathematics when

ris wheels and steel bridges; and
since practice goes hand in hand
with theory, since speciaIties have
become the key to success in
every occupation, fairs have de-
veloped into expositions, and
business interests have We'd with

lace. to broaden some channels of
fairs and eXpositions at the ex

In periods Of prosperity money
is used lavishly to encourage the
non productive amusements: re-
action comes and more energies |
are bent to the productive and up
building features, because of the
pressure of necessity, thus exem-
plifying that,old adage, "few peo-
pie can stand prosperity"
These things are repeating them
selves IN our Blackfoot fair. and |

gets from them all is practically
this:
When the producers are hon.
ored in the distribution of valua

is made profitable for the farmer
and the manufacturer to try all
the year to increase the value and
usefulness of his products; when
it is made worth while for him to
gather data and GO back home and
try for the next year to attain still
greater excellence in his stock
his crops or his wares, when the
people come back to the fair each
succeeding year to note their pro-
press and place their orders tor
goods where they can get the
very best, or for seeds which will
produce the best, then the people
as a whole will keep pace with the
progress of its most successful cit

in the development of stock they

How to relieve London's congested
streets is a problem the authorities long
have tried TO solve, and some novel pro-
posals were made to deal with the diff
Guilty when the London traffic commits
sion met recently.
The only way to solve II, said Mr.
Charles Scott Meik, was by making new
roads. Two great arterial thorough
fares. running from north to south and
from east to west. were of first impor-
lance. They should pass as closely as
possible TO the large railway termini and
other congested eenters. Special pro-
vision should be made for through traffic
and automobiles.
Mr.. Meik suggested double-decked
construction of roads, the upper deck
being reserved for fast vehicles, includ-
ing automobiles. and the lower for slow
e. and heavier traffic. To reach the up
per deck certain secondary streets
should be connected with II. The double
decEed road should be within four
mile radius. A suspended railway run
ming along the new thoroughfares was
proposed. The cost would be 1875. 600 a
mile whereas a shallow underground
railway would cost s250,000 a mile, and
tubes S1,750,000 mile. The total cost
of the two main avenues was estimated
by Mr.. Meik at sS55, $3.50, 0OO,. but the re-
EQUIPMENT from the sale of surplus lands
would bring the net cost down to Sil6.-
$4,000. He estimated the net yearly

RELICS IN UTAH'S CLIFFS.
Prehistoric Habitntions Have Re

The discovery of cliff dwellings In
Utah farther north than they have
ever before been found has been
brought TO the attention of the local
branch of the American Institution OF
Archaeology at Salt Lake City An
expedition is being planned to make a
scientific investigation of the ruins, OF
which nothing has ever before been

They are within 20 miles of Brooks

several bloody tragedies.
So far as known the only explora-
tons of the cliffhouses made to date

probably at least dozen cliff dwell

Dickinson, most of them are SO high
that it is impossible to get to them by

The trouble comes from Mayor

dollars on all old maids and widows

on all old bachelors and widowers who
refuse a prefer of marriage. The fines
are to go toward Gowrie's library fund.
In Issuing this proclamation Mayor
SortZer overlooked one fact, but when
the confirmed bachelors in and around
Gowrie had got over their first burst
Of wrath they remembered this one
fact, and from that day began the may

FOUND MOST DOUBLE STARS.
Assistant Astronomer, II. G. Aitkin
of the Lick Observatory,
Heads the List,

No other observer in the astronomical
field has achieved the distinction of dis
covering more double stars than Assist
ant Astronomer r. G. Aitken, of the Lick
observatory staff. During the past four
years he has found the position and
measurements of no less than GAS pairs
OF double stars, the last Lick observa-
tory bulletin, just published, alone con-
tanning list of ZIG discovered in 1903.
The importance of double-star system
depends principally upon the closeness
OF its compliments, and the present list
is interesting mainly because 1t con-
tains a large percentage of very close
pairs. 1t also includes new and closer
components to six double-star systems,
previously catalogued, and companions
to several stars bright enough to be Wis
ible to the naked eye.
