A Matter of Location

Porter & Milne have sold their ranch
at Howe to Little brothers, of Boise,
who took possession November 10th.
Now that Little brothers have little
ranch on Little Lost River, We wonder
what they will do with it. 1t is about
500 miles from the home at Boise, and
nobody hardly knows where it is at in
relation to it's county seat. The county
lines run near the house and if a crime
were committed in the door-yard the
case would have to be tried at st. An
thony. To get there person would
gfTt2rAArco, s5 miles by wagon, then by
rAt tlSsS...s Anthony via Blackfoot and
Idaho Falls.
If anything happened back of the
stables that had to be taken to the
county seat they would go to Arco and
then by rail to Haily via Blackfoot, Po-
catello and Shoshone, a distance of
some three hundred miles.
If little ''slop-over" should occur on
the hills north of the house, the parti-
sipant would have to be taken to Sal
mon City for trial, and to get there
they would have to take a little trip
over the mountains about 13o miles or
go to Arco Blackfoot and Dillon, Mon
tana, and then take the stage over the
Bitter Root Range, some $50 miles.
Granting that Little brothers escape
litigation over their Little Lost River
possessions, it might interest them to
know what has happened to some Of
the former occupants of the house.
One of them died natural death in
the house, two others died with their
boots on, from pistol shots, and two
are in the pc enitentiary. This SO clarified
the atmosphere that all has been peace
and quiet for period

when Bishop Simpson arrives late at a
conference, and, travel worn, steps into
the pulpit and recites the wonderful old
hymn:

"This," says DR.. Van Dusen, "was
more than the pent-up fire of that pio-
neer congregation could stand. Is it any
wonder they shouted? Would it not
have been wonderful beyond measure
if they had not shouted?" In these
days of "silken prosperity" the man who
late for the service would very
likely tell a funny story in order to get
his hearers in good humor. This mod

Knapp ON Beet raising.

Miles Knapp of Leslie has spent the
week in this city, and says he, didn't
raise any sugar beets this year because
his land was not in proper condition and
also because those beet contracts looked
too cold blooded for him: too iron-clad
for man to sign and expect to live
through. But, says Mr.. Knapp, Il
guess they're all right. I notice the su-
gar company have treated people very
nicely, and have done things for the
growers that they didn't agree to. |

Senator Dubois is quoted as saying
to representative of the Pocatello
Tribune two weeks ago that he is in
favor of removing the Indians from the
Lemhi Reservation to the Shoshone and
Bannock Reservation SO the former one
might be opened to settlement, and he
says he favors this plan because be-
cause there is more good farming land
in the Lemhi Reservation than there is
in the other. Back of all this there
may be another reason. Mormons are
not SO plentiful in Lemhi as in Bing-
ham and Bannock counties.

She entered large department

Her purchase left a remnant of one
and one-half yards. The clerk sug-
gested that she buy the remnant.
What will you take for it?" asked
the woman. Fifty cents, madam"
replied the clerk. We'll, I'll take 1t,
but you can keep the yard you've just
torn off," The clerk was staggered
for . moment, but appreciating the
humor Of the proposal made the ex
change.

About sixty people went to Pocatellt

About sixty people went to Pocatello
to see Roselle Knott in her presentation
of "When Knighthood was in Flower"
This was good play but the Short Line
took people to Pocatello in a cold car
and gave them decided chill. The man
ager of the Josephine Deffry company
was roasting them at the same time and
deputy county physician, McAtee was
placing them in mental quarantine, but
the Short Line chill prevailed.

Press Club Moves

The Blackfoot Press Club meets to
night and its members will discuss tw
things which ought to be taken up b,
the Commercial Club if we had one
First: The matter of getting our 10
cality into line for the Irrigation Con
gress and the benefits which may be re
ceived by having the excursion visit thi.
place on its tour of the state next June
These matters form one of the ques
tlons which should be the subject for de-
Liberation at many consecutive meetings
during the next six or seven months
and it should not all be left to the Press
Club with its half dozen members.
Second: The second matter which
they will take up, and which tho mer-
chants would do we'll to participate in,
in some systematic way is the formation
OF a "black list" made up of the names
of the people who can but will not pay
their debts.
A large volume of business is done on
credit, and there are those who are so
smooth at evading the payment of bills
that they have everything they want
and do but little to deserve it. BY the
time they get black listed with one mer-
chant they get into another and later
some new firm in town carries them till
the new firm is sick of it, This goes on
with variations from year to year, and
the other customers have to pay enough
more for goods to make up such losses.
1t affects the pocketbook of every per-
son who buys goods or has produce to
sell. Providing means Of cutting such
people off from the means of preying up
on the community, is move that should
receive the approval of every good citi-
zen. Such move should be carried on
with care. No man who makes a pro-
per use of such means as he can com.
mand, should be placed on the blacklist,
but If he had no means at his command
