Will Raise Beets

j. M. Stratford of Berthoud,
Colorado, arrived in Blackfoot a
month ago and has been looking
over the country till he has con
cluded it is just about what he
wants. He has engaged to raise
100 acres OF beets on his place
one mile above Wapello, and his
family arrived week ago. They
are all we'll pleased with the pros
poets here, and Mr.. Stratford says
that if a lot of his former neigh
bors in Colorado and Nebraska
knew of the resources Of Idaho
there would be more immigration
than there is.

given by one department of the
Current Event Climb, last Saturday
at the opera house; A good at
tendance Of ladies were present to
enjoy the program.
The first on the program was a
beautiful piano solo, Butterflies"
by Mrs. Archibald, next Mrs.
Jones read an account of the organ
ization of the The Idaho State
Federation Woman's Clubs, which
was organized at Boise last week.
< Mrs. Biethan read paper on
Home Manners and Morals, which
was suggestive of much thought
and very instructive, after that
followed a discussion on the sub
ject many taking part; Mrs. Barn
hart to the ladies about organizing
a village Improvement Society in
Blackfoot. The suggestion was
we'll received, nearly all present
fayoring the idea. The ladies
hope for the help of the men as
well as the ladies of the town in
organizing this society, which has
for its object the beautifying and
cleansing of our village.

Village Improvement Society

There will be meeting at the
Armory next Tuesday at 3 p. m.
to organize village improvement
society. The purpose of the Or
ganization is not to improve the
town by building but to keep
clean and orderly and in sanitary
condition that which is already
built. This is primarily wo-
mans society, but the ladies do
not expect to monopollze the
pleasures and expense of keeping
the town neat and presentable; on
the contrary they will invite the
gentlemen to become honorary
members which entities them to
pay fifty cents year into the
treasury and to be one OF the
right worthy watchdogs of the
weed cutters. They can then at
tend the meetings and during the
recess can approach the chair and
ask her to appoint committee to
wait on the village council and
tell them what alley it is that
John Doe persists in filling with
bones and tin cans instead of put.

which the association has placed
in a convenient spot for him and
painted white so the dray man
coming up the pike will recognize
his own and take possession Of the
contents.

Lewis and Clark Exposition

A hundred years ago last sum
,ner Lewis and Clark left ST.
Louis and travelled up the Nilsson

Rocky Mountains in the following
spring and descended the Colum
bia, to its mouth, wintered in the
woods on .the south side of the
1river and started on their return
early in the spring. They passed
passed back through the present
state of Idaho by the same trail
they took the year before, cross
ing the Bitter Root range where
Fred Vogler's stage line crosses
It now. The'exposition at Portland
this season is in .commemoration
OF the exploration of a hundred
years ago, and the shows such as
constituted 'The Pike" at St.
Louis will be known as s'The
Trail at Portland, SO you can
slit the Trail" at any time after
The fair opens: Many features of
the fair at Portland will be the
same as they were at St. Louis,
and there will be some points of
difference. The fair will be open
to visitors on Sunday, but the
''Trail' will be closed. Visitors
at st. Louis could 60 out on "The
Father of Waters" on Sundays
and have some pretty fair trips on
a muddy stream between low
banks bordered with brush and
timber. At Portland they can
go out for steamer trip through
forty miles of the grandest can
yon that steamers can navigate, or
60 down the river hundred
miles and pass out upon the Pa
ciic, breasting the long. smooth
waves that roll in from six thous-
and miles Of open seas and skim
across the great bar at the mouth |
of the Columbia, or strike with a
thunder sound against the white
cliffs that stretch away to the
northward. At Portland there
are cable roads to take visitors up
on Portland Heights to view the
great rivers and dozen notable
peaks of Washington and Oregon.
Everybody will pronounce the
name of Portland the same, but
''St. Louis' suffered fracture to
somebody's ears as often as the
name was called. The fair will

Some time ago when the coun
ty attorney called the attention o.
peace officers of the county to Sec
1914 of the Penal Code which
says in part "That any game
played with cards, dice, or any
other device, for money, checks
credit or other representative o1
value" is punishable by a fine OF
not less than Two Hundred Dol
lars or Imprisonment in the coun-
ty jail not less than four months,
a question was raised as to wether
cigars and drink were 8 Represen-
tatives Of value,' where upon the
County Attorney wrote to the
Attorney General for his opinion
regarding this particular phrase
and his reply is as follows:
"Attorney Generals Office,
"Bolse, Idaho, Feb. 3, '05.
"Mr. R. McCracken, Prosecuting
Attorney, Blackfoot, Idaho:
''Sir: have your letter of
January 9th, submitting the in
quiry whether or not the phrase,
or other representative of'value,
as used in Sec. 4S44 Of the Penal
Code, relating to gambling, etc.,
is sufficiently comprehensive to
induce dice and card games where
the stakes are cigars and drinks,
and | have to advise you that, in
my opinion, this phrase, together
with the preceding words Of the
section, namely, money, checks,
credit, is sufficient to bring with
in the statute any gambling game
where anything of value is at
stake. Chief Justice Shaw, in
Commonwealth VS.. Taylor, IA
Gray, 26, says:
GA game of hazard to determine
who shall pay for the beer or other
liquid to be drank, is strictly playing
for money. it is to determine which
party shall pay sum of money for
the other.
81 am of the opinion that it
was tlls inteadent of the legisla-
ture to make it an ofense to play
a gambling game where anything
of value is at stake; in other
words, the phrase 'or other repre-
sentative of value is equivalent
to saying, 'or anything having
value.

Idaho Women Meet

: Forty one delegates to the Fec
{ GRAFTON of Women's Clubs met 9
: Boise Jan. 80 and proceeded
take steps for the organization 0
, a federation of the clubs of th
state of Idaho. Some unique an
interesting features manifesto,
themselves in their dellberation
which should make the men Q
Idaho proud of them. For in
stance one of the old crude argu
ments used against woman suffer
age was that IF waman votes
she will have to work on tht
roads. ?" And again, eff womer
vote they will neglect the home.
Now behold the representatives
OF 1900 members of the woman's
clubs of Idaho assembled in Boise
appointing Legislative committee,
a committee on state history and
a committee on domestic science
and good roads. Whether this last
move grew out of the splendid
work of the village Improvement
society working for the improve
OF streets in Idaho Falls and other
towns, we are not advised, but
each president of the several dis
tricts Of the state rose in turn and
talked about legislation, history
and good roads, and the great val
ue of the study Of domestic science
which, in short, means housekeep-
ing and home making.
Passing on to other matters they
took up that greater and grander
subject which underlies them all
and transends them all IN, import
snce and far reaching influence,
the science Of race Improvement.
One of our great teachers once
said that the education of child
should begin at-least one hundred
years before it is born, and Mrs.
Minnie Howard of Pocatello gave
a very interesting address, on the
principles involed. The Boise
Statesman says:
"The factors in race improve
ment, she stated, were antenatal
heredity and prenatal influence,
consious and unconscious. The
post-uatal influences were educa-
ton and regligion. The key to
the science of race improvement
lay in individual duty. The
speaker drew illustrations from the
lives of Hagar, Napoleon, Plato
aud Mrs. Booth Tucker. Her re-
marks had strong religious and
scientific trend. She spoke with
out notes and made an excellent
and lasting IMPRESSION
1t is most hopeful sign to see
organized work and recognition in
this matter at a time when the gov
ernor and the Legislature are busy
with bills seeking to place every
reasonable restraint possible about
those who are responsible for the
character of coming generations.
The following verses written by
some author unknown to us, helps
to illustrate the principle involved,
and furnishes the hope for the
future and incentive to do and to
act for generations yet unborn.
There lived aTman who raised his hand |
and said,
II will be great"
And through a long, long life he
bravely knocked
At Fame's closed gate.
A son he left who, like his sire, strove
High place to win
Worn out, he died, and, dying, left no
trace
That he had been.
He also left son who, without care
Or planning how,
Bore the fair letters of deathless
name
Upon his brow.
Behold, genius, touched with fire
divine''
The people cried,
Not knowing that to make him what
he was
Two men had died.

Mrs. o. Buchanan and Mrs. L. r.
Thomas.
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. G. L. Custer preached a
sermon Of special value to young
men, bringing out the reasons
why young men should be form
ing good habits and good charac-
ter during the twenties, instead Of
sowing wild oats to harvest later.
He emphasized the idea that every
young man, sooner or later expect
to lead some noble young woman
to the hymenial altar; and as he
conld accept nothing short of
purity and honor and clear re-
cord in that hour, he should bring
bring nothing less in himself; that
he also holds arlwoman in higher
and holier esteemif she espouses
the Christian faith; and for that
reason he should also enrich the
union with a faith that would
enable them to set up a Christian
shrine in establishing the new
home. There we're e large num-
ber of young men in the congre-
cation, and all listened with mark
ed attention.
AT THE METHODIST CHURCH
Rev. O. A. White had larger
congregation than usual to hear
"Rewards and Punishments" as
brought ont by his discourse,
beginning with the operation Of
of laws on the statute books for
the restraint of propensities IN the
individual, securing protection to
those who observ, and punish
ments, forfeitures or sacrifices for
those who violate the laws. He
directed attention to the operation
of the natural law which secures
health, strength and enjoyment
of proper and natural wishes to
those who observe them but brings
pain Inconvenience, sacrifice and
disapointments as the result of
dissipation, or violation of the
natural laws. Using these as ILL
ustrations he proceeded to the
more difficult analysis Of the oper-
tation of the spiritual law, taking
the tender admonitions of con-
science, the strength of character
and the ease and dignity that
come of following its admonition
the weak, wavering condition,
the disease and lack of noble
mein that follow its violations.
Making this the connecting link
between the things which may be
seen, and the unseen, or spiritual,
he brought out the idea that spir-
itual strength and wealth and cap
ity are also growth or lack of
it, which are to great extent de-
pendent on the will of the indiv-
idual as affected by surroundings
and material which he provides.
for it to build on. Also that the
laws in the spiritual realm cannot
be enforced fully in this life, but
in due time in the next world
rewards or remorse shall be meted
out to each individual.

INSURANCE SUITS
Failures to Agree on Figures OF Set
tIemcnt Result in Litigation.

Six suits were filed in the circuit
court yesterday afternoon by the
IIarth Grain company against as ma
ny insurance companies. The Defend
ants and the sums asked of them are.
The German Insurance company of
Rochester, n. Y, $4,000; Connecti-
cut Fire Insurance company, of Hart
ford, Conn. $4,000; German Fire In
surance company, of New York, $2,-
500; Continental Insurance compa-
ny, of New York, $500, making a
total of $4,000.
The plaintiffs warehouse, con-
tanning a lot of corn, was burned on
the night of June 2, 1905, The COM
panies sent adjusters here and they
figured up the loss but the Harth
Grain company refused to accept
their figures, which was considerably
lower than the face of the policies.
The company claims that its loss was
total and asks for the full amount of
insurance carried on the warehouse
and contents. The insurance compa-
MES claim that this is unreasonable
as the loss was not $4,000.

GOOD PROGRESS
Is BEING MADE IN THE SURVEY
OF THE OHIO.
Crew of Fifty-four Men Now Be-
tween Evansville and Lew
isport.

Since the two crews that were ma
king a survey of the Ohio river have
been consolidated under the manages
ment of Capt. S. F. Crecelius, SPLEEN
did Roadway is being made in the
survey between Louisville and Ev-
ansville, Ind. Up until two weeks ago
one of the crews had been engaged
In finishing the survey between
Louisville and Cincinnati. When this
work was completed the upper crew
was combined with the lower crew by
order of Capt. Harry Burgess, engi-
neer, in charge of the survey.
A report was received at the Office
of Capt. Burgess at Louisville stating
that the survey party had reached
Lewisport with the work and that
good progress was being made, con-
sidering the season of the year Ii is
the hope of all concerned that Ev-
ansville may be reached before such
weather will set in that will compel
the crew to lay off until spring. 1t
is about so miles from Lewisport to
Evansville and if the weather per-
mts, Evansville will be reached in
about four weeks. The combined crew
consists of 81 men. High water has
been great menace to rapid pro-
gress in making the survey this fall.
