The following bunch of humor falling
from the pen of w. E. Wheeler of the
Idaho Register few weeks ago, shows
the caliber and quality of the gentleman's
thoughts.
'Our friend Byrd Trego of the Black.

paper, 8 pages are printed in Salt Lake,
and is called the patent side. Byrd says
he is contemplating having the other four
pages printed there: he says it is cheaper

where the paper stood on the various
county and state questions. During the
fair he got out daily; but it was a hard
blow to the fair When people learned
he was going to infiict the Republican

This prince of knockers has been known
for long time as man with scowl
and club, by which lie brought much
business into his camp, but the time
comes with every buffer and prevarica-

With this edition we say good night to
the year 1905 and send greetings to all
for the year 1906
Many important events are slated for
the coming twelve months, and Black
foot will be the scene of its share.
The meeting of the "See- America
First" congress, at Salt Lake, January
Is, should receive our attention: the
meeting of the Irrigation congress in
June and the visit of the delegates to
eastern Idaho deserves our earnest ef
fort. The "Third Opening of the Carey
lands, southwest of town, should be a
matter of concern to every business man
and every one who tolls, for directly or
indirectly it will sooner or later affect
MS all. The same may be said of the
prospective opening of the reservation.
where agricultural and mineral lands
will join the world of usefulness. and
hot springs may become health and
pleasure resorts.
Much progress has been made the
past year, and those who say the build
ing and business operations have been
overdone, may or may not Judge cor
rectly, but all that is here is likely to re-
main, with minor exceptions, and it is
quite probable that many additions will
be made.
We do not mention this because we
wish those already here to have more
competition, but because we think they
are coming and may come in 1906.

anyhow, and its boyish methods, so that

plans to meet the new conditions which
come with growth and improvements.
