They Attack Miss Scott

Senator Walker has said some
things in the senate which reflect
ed discredit upon the state super
intendedt of public instruction and
other members of the administra-
ton, who have audited her ac-
counts from month to month. He
has demanded an itemized account
of all the business of the office for
the past two years, and wanted
her to drop everything else to fur
nish it. A summary Of it was
furnished, whereupon he waxed
warm and insisted upon having
it in detail, matter requiring an
immense amount of work. Then
did the lady from Blackfoot rise
to the occasion and inform the
senatorial messenger that the
vouchers were on file with the
secretary of state, that they are
public documents, and that the
committee might inspect them,
but that her. department had not
the time to furnish statements and
transcripts Of such a mass of
papers.

The Club Dance

Last Friday evening the Alph
club had one of its good times at
the art of terpiscore. Manager
Jackman anticipated the wants of
the party and served something to
keep them from getting too ''dry.' >
Some said it was not all lemon,
and others said it had "stick"
in it. Anyhow it pleased those
who liked it, and those who did
not care to drink did not make
any kick, and inasmuch as they
did not say what they thought,
we are not quoting them. Every
laddie and his lassie had a bushel
Of fun, some of the married folks
had a link or two Of jealousy over
dancers who repeated, y and the
gentlemen agreed to have another
series Of dances.

Legislative Committee Comes

Last Saturday morning a COM
mittee from the legislature visited
the Idaho asylum and in the even
ing to St. Anthony to spend Sun
day and inspect the reform school.
On Monday morning they return
ed to Pocatello where they visited
the Idaho Academy. The per-

Senator Lewis and wife, Of Latah;
Representative Thomas, of Nez
Perce; Moore. Of Fremont; Nc
klnlay, of Sboshone; Senator
Wayman, of Owyhee, and Miss
Hice, stenographer. The purpose
Of the trip was to visit the three
state institutions named and re-
port on their condition and res
pective needs.
When the party left Boise there
were a number of others with
them, among whom were Q. V.

Flouring Mill for Basalt

Dye is a familiar name at Basalt
and has been for the past twelve
or fifteen years, but Basalt has
never died or been over dyed; in
fact it was such stayers and push
ers as the Dyes that want to see a
Touring mill at Basalt, and at a
meeting called for that place last
Saturday the matter Of building a
mill was discussed, and next Mon
day another meeting will further
open the question and its fitness for
the present age and strength Of
the community. The day has
come when farmers can spend
their time to better advantage than
going long distances to mill, or
letting cheap grain 60 out Of the
country when they could make
more money out Of it by feeding
it to stock in the form Of chop,
bran or shorts. Goshen and Presto
should 60 to the meeting and
whoop it up. A bridge across the
river to connect them with the big
farms on the west side would be
just the right thing for going to
mill and for developing some big
beet farms that are beaten in the
race until the mill is built.
Remember the date, Monday,
February 9th at 2 p. m. and be
at the meeting.

That Reading Room

There are 2S7 patients at the
asylum, and most of them have
more time than they know what
to do with. A large percentage
of them like to read, but the state
has not provided much reading
matter for them. Some Of the pub
fishers send them papers. and peo-
pie Of Blackfoot are requested to
collect books, papers and maga-
zines which they are willing to
part with, and bring them to The
REPUBLICAN office to be sent to
the asylum. Representatives of
the institution viii! call regularly
for them and for our exchanges.
Persons who wish to buy old
papers for shelves and carpet pad
ding at the rate of all you can
carry for quarter, are respect
fully informed that we have gone
out of the two-bit business and
will hereafter send our exchanges
to the asylum or free reading
room.

That Uncle Tom Show

The Mason and Dixon show
presented Uncle Toms Cabin to
a packed house Monday night,
and the common verdict is that it
was not good. Aunt Chloe was a
man, the bloodhounds had to be
dragged down the trail after Liza
and George Harris met his wife in
Ohio with as little manifestation
of joy or emotion as one man
meets another after a weeks sep
aration. Lie stood around like
buck 1njun and allowed her to
hold the baby and carry it while
while they were trailing through
the woods. Topsy was the best
character, Uncle Tom was we'll
taken, and several Of the others
were fair. Perhaps our stage is
not what they needed, or it may
be the big audience did not ap-
plaud enough to raise the spirits
of the actors, but they were there
to present their show and the au-
dience was there to witness it.
The community parted with big
bunch of money, and would ap-
preclate the local press if they
could be informed as to the merits
of show before it places its
tickets on sale.

White Knob Affairs

N. Ell. Clark. receiver for the
. White Knob Copper company,
, with offices in New York City and
Mackay, Idaho, returned Tuesday
evening from a hurried trip to
New York where he went to con-
fer with officers and stockholders
of the company about the policy
to be pursued and the operations
for the immediate future: Mr..
Clark spent four days in New
York and met a large number of
the stockholders, and when asked
by representative of the REPUB-
LlcAN for a statement he said: 81
found the stockholders verv much
at sea at what was best to do, and
all of them seeking information
about the property at Mackay.
The assessment which was levied
some weeks ago has been paid
and they are hopeful that the
property will yet be placed on a
paying basis, but they are anxious
to do the right thing in this crisis
and consequently are acting with
greater caution and are giving the
matter closer personal attention
than they have done before. The
property will be sold at a receivers
sale within few weeks or as soon
as the legal steps can be taken,
and it will be bought in by new
company. Stockholders will re-
ceive preferred stock for the cash
they have paid in recently and
common stock for their original
holdings. The new organization
will be capitalized at six million
dollars, with large block of
treasury stock and about $4O0, 900
in the treasury to be used to pay
up claims of local creditors,
amounting to about $50, 900, and
to develop the mine. We pro-
pose to expend money carefully in
following the ore bodies and to
carry on all operations in an eco
nomical manner. We will put on
about thirty or forty men tomor-
row (Thursday) and the work of
development may continue slowly
for many months. There are
men enough at Mackay to till all
places at present. | think this
covers the questions which the
public want to know about; we
have no secrets, but we have
troubles and we are trying to
meet them squarely.''

Potato Contest

Ii was peer tnat maze MlIWau-
kee famous; it was strawberris
that made Hood River famous
it was potatoes that made Greeley
famous and established a name
for Greeley that makes Idaho
potatoes sell in any market in the
if they are only billed out of
Greeley Colorado.
Idaho can produce potatoes that
are large and rich; and crisp and
that ripen so they keep as long
and as nice as any potatoes in the
world, but the potatoes buyers of
the world do not know this. When
Idaho educates them in this par
ticular lore they will know it and
buy our product and pay the
price. 1t is better to raise pota-
toes to sell at $50 than to raise
them to sell at 5. As. and when we
have quality to correspond with
other qualities and when we let
the world know what we produce
we shall get the advanced price,
and not have to send them through
Gseeley to find the buyers. Ship
pers at Blackfoot and Idaho Falls
have shipped out potatoes that
were not ripe, and which did ines
timable injury to our interests. If
there were an organization to look
tor markets in the interest Of
growers, and to protect the pur-
chasers from getting green or
frozen potatoes, and none but per-
feet product were shipped by the
organization, we should soon have
the kind of a potato market that
Greeley has so long enjoyed and
which have made them so much of
the wealth of lucre.
If a contest could be secured
by the Blackfoot Fair that would
command such a keen interest
among the farmers that they
would seek the most approved
and sientific methods Of growing
potatoes, this result would follow:
Each person making the expert
ment would be benefited by 1t
and would able to do the following
year on a large scale what he did
On a small scale the first year.
Each person entering the competi-
ion bringing to the fair 800
pounds of his product, the same
% become the prorerty of the fair
Association. One hundred com
oetitors would bring in carload
which at the close of the fair could

County, divided or undivided can
,an do this; Riverside can do it,
)r Mr.. Quinn of Basalt can do it
alone if he goes at it with the
same vim that produced the grand
display of farm produces that he
lad at the fair last October. We
commend this to the consideration
If the officers Of the fair and the
armers and business men who
wish to have Blackfoot become
amous for some staple article Of
commerce.

Abuse Of School Houses

also OF the abuse OF or imposition
of the teacher. In all new states
dancing Is one of the most popular
amusements, and the less intellec-
tual wealth there is in commun-
ity, the more material wealth and
energy they devote to the educa-
tion of the heels. Stating it
conversely, the more vitality they
use up in the dance hall, the less
desire there is for intellectual pur-
suit, and the less appreciation of
opportunities for education. Es-
peeialiy is this true where dancing
is continued to the point of wear
mess. Dancing for recreation is
beneficial, but the exercise should
cease while the energy and spirits
are at their height. Developing
power is one thing and using it
up to the point Of WEAKNESS is
quite another.
In the country. where people
60 a long distance to a social
event, they tarry longer than they
would if 1t were not much trouble
to assemble. If the school house
is the only public hall, it is used
for everything. If the seats are
fastened to the floor they are
taken mp under the promise to the
teacher that they will all be re-
placed. If they are put back at
all it is not we'll done. Books
are spilled out and scattered, pens
are ruined, ink is spilled and
marks Of midnight luncheon are
on desks and books. In the ma
jority Of cases the desks are left
lined up against the wall with dirt
and. luncheon under them and
guilds of tobacco in the corners,
and the maps and decorations are
marred or ruined. The teacher
has a hard or humiIiating task
cleaning up after each dance, and
here are sown the seeds of a bad |
feeling toward the community;
the school and teacher that per-
NIT this thing are lowered in the
eyes of the community, and the
teacher who rises to the occasion
and refuses to submit to the i'm
position is fired, and the commun-
lty loses bundle of the best brain
and nerve that ever paid weeks
board in their midst.
In years gone by the Mormon
people in our Mormon counties
used the school for religious meet
ings several nights in the week,
besides Sunday and Sunday night,
eaving the house for the teacher
% sweep and put in order. In
many cases the people built the
house by subscription with the
understanding that they were to
be used for all purposes, and the
1eacons who found the house in
good order for the meeting were
satisfied to shut their eyes to its
when the meeting was
over. Protests from the teacher
ver generally in vain, and finally
eachers and superintendent rose
o the occasion and said, "This
hing be damned,'' and it was
discontinued in most of the com
nunities, and now since one
ource Of hampering the work Of
'ducation and holding it down

Creamery for Shelley

Last Saturday there was a meet
ing at Shelley for the purpose of
considering the matter of estab-
llshing creamery at that place to
gather cream from the territory
including Basalt, Taylor, Goshen
and Presto. A Mr.. Morrison, of
,Ellensburg, Oregon, offered to
put in the plant and put in the
backing to establish the creamery
and put it well on its way, If the
farmers would guarantee the pro
duct of 1000 cows. Mr.. Morrison
was just on his way back from a
trip to Iowa, and wanted to make
an investment in Idaho. He said
one of the greatest troubles about
starting creameries is that they
are started without sufficient back
ing to carry them over the period
of greatest expense and discour-
agement, and they go to the wall.
In some instances when they get
short Of funds they seek to hold
down expenses by employing
cheaper labor or paying less for
cream,, and the result is a poor
quality of butter or falling off of
in the amount of cream to be had,
or both, and failure was the result
where success was possible. Some
of the advantages Of which Shelley
boasts are: The farmers have
cheap hay with an uncertain mar
ket which would be established at
home if they fed cows. No coun-
try in the world can produce hay,
grain and roots suitable for COW
feed as cheaply as the farmers in
this locality. The introduction Of
sugar beet puts beet pulp
within the reach of the farmers
and combines the income of the
beets for sugar, and beets for milk
products. The monthly pay roll
from the creamery greatly adds to
the circulating medium through
out the year and aids the farmer
between the receipts of the har-
vest time. Mr.. Morrison men
toned the fact that the Oregon
creameries buy the product of 81
and So hay, and that they consider
sugar beets worth more for dairy
than for the manufacture
Of sugar. Another meeting will
be held tomorrow, Saturday, Feb
ruary 4, at which time representa-
tives from the places named will
meet with the Shelley people with
some definite information. The
plan is to use the hand separators
and gather only the cream, leaving
the milk for the farmer. Much |
depends on the number of COWS
that are in the localities mention
ed, or which can be brought in to
furnish cream. The inevitable
funny man in the meeting called
the turn when he said that there
are lot of cows that might be
MIXED that would not give cream
enough to grease pig for a cele-
bration, and that the people would
DO we'll to consider whether or not
heir cows are of the milk stock or
Kentucky whip stock. As a solu-
ion Of the question he suggested
hat they be up-to-date and get a
breed Of cows that are large and
give rich milk, and said that Prof.
French, of the state university, is
to have obtained this re-
suit by crossing the Jersey COW
with a locomotive, and expects to
develop a COW that will give boil
ID milk absolutely free from the
germs of disease; but we think the
