the tragedies of the fiat as they have
appeared before the footlights within
the recollection of most of the readers
of The REPUBLICAN. It's isolation and
splendid stock range, suitable on the
one side for summer and on the other
side for winter. it's matchless climate

Do They Knowa

The March number of the Wes-
tern Publisher Chicago in review
ing the work of some of the
western newspapers, gives Black
foot paragraph which may or
may not reflect the sentiment of
the people, but we copy it SO you
know what the Chicago man is
saying about it, 1t reads this way:
"Byrd Trego, of the Idaho Re.
publican, is giving the citizens of
Blackfoot paper of which they
are justly proud. Byrd is a writer
of real merit, a hustler and a man
who begets the confidence of his
patrons. -

New Townsite Sprouted

Behold a new town is born.
The matter was settled at a meet
ing held on the spot Monday
evening. Although the material
out of which it is made is old, in
sense, yet it is a new town on a
new townsite. 1t is to be made
out of the land in the farm of
James Nelson, who lives on the
east side of the railroad a distance
Of eight miles above Blackfoot.
The town is so new it has not yet
been christened, but if an astrolo-
ger should come along and write
up its "horoscope" as they do
peoples, it would read with this
kind of jingle:
"Iou were born on Monday,
March 13, under the influence of
the constellation Taurus, which
gives to you proud, independent
spirit, a high, pure moral nature,
anu a restless energy that will
enable you to set your mark high
and reach it. The daffodil is an
appropriate emblem for you, and
ambition is your leading charac-
teristic. IF the fee were larger
he would know more to tell you.)
A ward was organized short
time ago covering the new town
site and some adjacent territory.
G. Malm. the Blackfoot tailor, is
the ward recorder, Moroni e.
cham, bishop; and Charles Robin
son and E. A. Grover, counselors.
There is blacksmith shop oper-
ated by James Nelson and store
was opened some time ago by
Z. I. Draper.

V. |. S.

A large number of our citizens
have complied with the ordinance
of the city council in regard to
the cleaning OF the streets and
alleys adjacent to their premises,
Some, be it to their credit, did SO
before the ordinance was passed.
But let us all have sufficient
civic pride to attend to this matter
without waiting for personal no.
tification from the authorities.
Remember this supplies to"renters"
just as forcibly as to property
owners. If every one will coop
crate in this civic house cleaning
it will result in a sanitary and
clesnly condition of our thorough
fares to which we all can point
with pride and satisfaction. Con-
suit the marshal as to the locality
of the city dumping ground.
Don't dump promiscuously or you
will be ordered to remove it to the
proper ground. Now just a word
in reference to bon fires. They
are necessary evils. Start them
in the morning SO they will have
time to burn out before night.
Then pour water on the ashes.
Many disastrous fires have origin
ated from the wind tanning the
embers into flame during the
night. Let us all use every pre-
caution and safeguard against fire.
Put out your bonfres.

BACKFooT BINGHAM COUNTY, IDAHO, FRIDAY MARCH

of Colorado, which has been so
long pointed to as an example of
wondrous transformation and mar
velously beautiful places.
Mr.. Dobell spoke again and re-
lated an incident to show that one
of the difficulties we must expect
to meet with in settling up the
country is that people will not be-
lieve what they read about the
country if we publish the simple
truth, and that, to great extent,
they will have to be shown.
G. Il. Holbrook, the grocer,
made some suggestions about send
ing ont folders to people who are
lnquiring about lands, and W. d.
Trego, of the sugar company, sug-
sested putting a lot of condensed
information on the backs of all
letter paper used by the people,
so that it would be sure to 60
wherever letters 20. Others made
various other suggestions and F.A.
Sweet, manager of the American
Falls q CanalPower company, who
was detained at home, telephoned
in some interesting matter about
advertising by means of booklets.
w. E, Barnhart, of the real estate
firm of Mcdonald & Barnhart,
telephoned that he had another
appointment and could not be at
the meeting, but that he under,
stood the purpose of the meeting,
that he was in favor of under
taking something in which there
should be a union of effort and of
purpose, and that he wanted to be
counted in on whatever plan the
meeting adopted; that he was
ready to do his share, and was not
so particular to have a plan that
Just suited blm as he was to have
plan that suited the majority,
and that he could adapt himself to
that.
E. M. Kennedy phoned In that
he was ready to do his part, what
ever 1t might be, and that he was
with the meeting, although he was
down on the farm.
Louis Felt, manager of the
Blackfoot Implement company,
said that he believed Blackfoot
had some of the best things in the
state to offer to homeseekers; that
it was one of the least advertised
localities, and also, one of the
easiest places in the state to reach.
Charlie Hart, of the firm of
Hart, Rowles & Kinney, tele-
phoned that he could not be at
the meeting but that he was inter-
ested in whatever was done.
Bishop Peter G. Johnston came
in late and expressed lively
interest in the work.
1t was decided that another
meeting should be held on Friday
evening, the 18th, when it is ex-
pected that more of the business
men could attend, and more def
mite action could be taken.
The meeting viii! be at the office
of The REPUBLICAN at 1880.

Business Mems Association.


Monday evening there was a
meeting at the Office of The IDAHO
REPUBLICAN held for the purpose
of discussing what, if anything,
could be done to further the bust
ness interests of Blackfoot by
means of some united effort, which
could be carried,on in systematic
manner and which would make a
fair distribution of burdens and
benefits.
The matter was discussed at
considerable length by the differ
ept persons. G. A. Dobell, of
the FIRST National Bank, empha-
sized the fact that we have re-
sources which would attract set
tiers and homeseekers if they only
knew something about them, but
that, while other places are herald
ing their good things by means of
printed matter placed in the hands
of homeseekers, We are making
no particular effort in this direc-
ton and people take it for granted
that we have nothing to otfer.
He stated that he had looked over
the state pretty thoroughly before
locating, and, in comparing differ
ent places, he was always impress
sed with the magnitude of this
part Of the valley and the abund
ance of water, leaving the way
open for development of settle
ment on a grand scale such as few
localities can offer.
r. N. West, of the firm of
Boyle Bros. & West, made brief
speech in which he reminded his
auditors that Colorado had made
the most notable success of agri-
culture of any state in the high,
semi-arid region; had captured
the best markets, and made for
themselves the greatest fortunes
and the greatest name, and that
!, we have as great plains, as good
!acIimate, and, in addition
aual advantages III other re-
cts, we have abundance of
7 water, and, in fact, waste more
water than they use in Colorado.
F. A. Monroe, manager Of the
Snake River Valley Sugar com
pany, endorsed what had been
said and added very important
matter-that we not only have
water but good water. That in
many localities in Colorado where
they have achieved SO much they
are not only hampered with lack
of water, but that what little they
have is not good, and that, where
there is but little water and that
not fit to drink, it is a pretty hard
proposition for intelligent and cul
tured people from states in the
rain belt, to 90 10 and make
homes, putting up with the new
problems of irrigation, and the
added privation of doing without
decent drink of water the year
around, both for themselves and
their domestic animals.
That what has been done in
Colorado under these unfavorable
conditions, can be done and will
Ebe done here with greater despatch
Eand greater satisfaction, and that
1--WE can interest as good a class of
3settlers and investors here as can
Sbe gotten anywhere.
II Mr.. West got the floor again
and spoke on the subject of re-
Sorts, saying that Colorado had
made a specially of resorts for
Bpleasure seekers and for health
eekers, and that Colorado had

1.-THE CHAPFRONS" PROVE
hit OF THE SEASON

BY far the best production that has
come to the Elks' theater this season
was The Chaperons" last night. The
theater was literally packed, and that
the large audience thoroughly en-
joyed the performance was evidenced
by the frequent and virorous applause
IL gave the company.
The company is composed of about
t~hirty-ive people. among them being
several very good voices. The girls
are not all pretty, but they are bet
ter looking than the average bunch of
show girls who manage to visit Albu-
querque, and if anything, their voices
are better. The male chorus sings
exceptionally well and was compelled
to respond to two encores. Perhaps
looks have been sacrificed for voice in
THE Chaperons,' but nobody com
planned, for while it is pleasing to
look at a bevy of pretty girls pirout-
ing around the stage in fancy cos
tunes, it is more pleasing to listen
to good voices in the same girls even
If the appearances are not so fascinat-
ing. And there was no fault to find
with the voices of the members of
The Chaperons,' especially with the
chorus.
The company, besides the chorus,
carries an array of pretty costumes,
several people who say and do funny
things, and some of the stunts are
very old, but they are said to have
been original with 'The C~haperons,'
and were old simply because the com
pany had never been here before and
some other company had stolen the
stuff and sprung it first, There are
several individual stars in the cast,
and among these Harry Ladell stands
alone. He does some very clever
dancing and gets off a number of ex-
tremely ridiculous acrobatic stunts,
that kept the house in a contiguous up.
road whenever he appeared on the
stage. Others deserving of special
mention are George Lydecker, Edyth
Valmesda, Doris Goodwin, Ruth
Lloyd, as the professional Paris chap
eron; John Price, as the Irish subway
contractor, and Adam Hogg, the
American pork packer. The chorus
The Whole Dam Family" was a very
accurate production of the now fam
GUS picture by that name, even to the
youngest member of the family, and
made a hit.
On the, whole, those who purchased
tickets for last nights show, were fal
from disappointed, and it is certain
that Manager Matson was happy, as
every seat in the house was sold, and
before the curtain went up the sign,
standing room only" was posted in
the theater. 1t is hoped by the thea
ter-goers that many more equally as
good attractions have been booked for
the 1905-06 eason by the manage
ment.

GARDENING NOTIONS.

Mr.. Greiner Talks About Handling
Onion Chan and Winter Onions.
Some time ago one Of the large onion
seed growers In California asked me
how best to utilize lot Of onion chaff
that seemed too rich to use for ordinary
crops where irrigation is not practiced
in a shortage Of rainfall on account OF
danger from burning I'VE now have
a pile" he says, which we are reduc-
ing with lime and water containing
over 1,2OO cubic yards" AS the in
quirer also had big lot Of stable and
poultry manure the problem seemed to
me Of easy solution. Whenever a gar
dener has a lot Of miscellaneous bulky
materials, whether 1t be onion chaff
or any other chaff and weeds and all
sorts of rubbish, everything of this
description can go on the compost heap.
The bottom may be formed Of the
coarsest Of the stable manure then the
rest may be added in alternate layers.
If too dry, water or liquid dipped up
from the barnyard may be added until
the whole heap is uniformly damp, but
not wet, for we desire to have the pile
get warm by fermentation. 1t may be
forked over several times so that all
these various materials will become
thoroughly mixed and finally become
well rotted and Of even texture and
quality. Then this compost is good
for any crop to which one may wish
to apply it, 1t is safe and usually very
effective.
Winter Bunch Onions.
From the appearance Of my patches
Of White Portugal and other onions

last summer and early fall, conclude
that many Of the plants from seed

season. Those from seed sown in the
latter part Of August are not quite SC
large as l would wish Perhaps they
will winter all right and IN that CASE
will make bunch onions a triie later
but give me a smaller proportion Of
bolting plants. Still / do use even tn,
