Holds Good at BIackfoot.

A great deal has been written
about tuberloculosis III beef, but
the Ladies Aid society of Black
foot has made a most practical
application Of a few well known
facts. The public mind has not
been wrought up over anything in
connection with chicken like the
ssembalmed beef" or tuberculosis
sensations, and they are getting
MP chicken dinner for this even
ing at the old arniory. There
will be boiled ham too, but chicken
is to lead the van and crow and
cackle SO to-speak all evening.
Ministers are provcrbially fond
of chicken with golden trumsticks
aud the ladies are determined that
since it is good for ministers to
have chicken, it must be good for
all, and that Is one reason why
you are going to join the gang in a
little tete,a tete atthe old armcry

A Big Eaten!
Respectfully,
G. W. kooKwoop.

The Young Ladies Mutual I'M
provement Association of the
Blackfoot Stake will give a five
O'Clock dinner, and a ten O'Clock
supper at the Progress Building
Monday the 26th Of March.
A special train will come from
Idaho Falls to accommodate people
up that way, and it is designed
that there shall be jolly good
time all evening. They have e1-
gagged Pocatello music, a large
number of chickens have been en-
gagged for slaughter the day before
and there will be a fine chicken
dinner with noodles like mother
used to make. Anyone who
doubts t lis part of it will DO the
right thing to 60 and be convinced
for chicken dinners are like saliva
ton in one thing-you have to
get your own consent before you
can get the good Of it. Get busy
now, and obtain your consent to
be there and the rest will be easy.

Weather Report.

In some parts Of the State the
depth of snow at the close Of Feb
ruary was less than that at the
close of January, and in but few
sections was there a marked in
crease in actual depth in exposed
places, but the precipitation for
the laonth Of February consisted
for the greater part, Of rain and
moist snow, which contributed to-
the solidifying process that began
in the latter part of January, and
excepting the snow that fell late|
in February most Of the supply in|
the mountains at the close of the
month was unusually compact.
High winds during the latter half
of the month assisted this packing.
In the extreme northern portion
of the State, drained by the tribu-
taries Of the upper Columbia
River, large number OF CORE
spondents report only an average
supply Of snow, but there is 30
indication of deficiency in any
part Of this area. In parts of the
drainage areaa Of the Salmon and
Clearwater Rivers the fall of snow
seems to have been relatively
light, particularly,in Lemhi aud
Idaho Counties, and the prospect
for a large flow from these streams
was not good. Elsewhere in the
State correspondents are almost
unanimous in reporting the supply
of snow to be above the average,
and in predicting an unusually
large waterfow from the varioud
streams. The general prosper
in the southern counties has moi
been SO good before in years.

Back From the East.

u. w. Nichols returned Satur-
day from a trip to Kansas City
where he went with shipment Of
cattle. While there he visited
around IN some of the neighbor-
ing states and found many people
talking of coming west to grow
mp with irrigation. They are
studying the west more closely
than they ever appeared to before
and many of them had maps OF
Idaho in their pockets or their
homes. He found some who had
"Homes in Idaho" pamphlet
issued by the American Falls
Canal and Power company, and
were much interested.
"Things look prosperous down
in Kansas said Mr.. Nichols, !
but in Missouri and Arkansas the
rank and file Of farmers complain.
ed of not making more than ex
penses, and are anxious to &c

original contracts, and we took in
for beets alone, $4,000. {

AOA t0SSsc ~sOAsSS VIZ
This year we shall plant 500
acres nore than our five year con-
tract. There are now men grow
ing beets here who bitterly OPP
posed it at first, and all they could
to discourage the industry, and
as | told Mark Austin, when the
enterprise was first launched, be
fore our five years contracts are
out, We will bury the factory in
bcets, and beet contracts will be
at premium. Since the advent
of the factory, our farms have
doubled, and in many instances
trebled in value. Many who were
borrowers have become lenders,
Beautiful homes are being built,
and farms are putting on tidy and
prosperous appearances. Our
farmers are doing large and in
creasing business, and we are
looking to our beets as our cash
crop. And Others have become a
side issue. Today there are only
seven farmers in Iona who are not
growing beets. What can be
be done here can be donein every
town ia the Snake River Valley,
for what village would be willing
to say. Our land IS not 50 good
as our neighbors.

raising Of beets,
Iona, Idaho, March 9th 'o6.
Editor Republican,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Possibly a few words OF encour-
:agement to some who look with
distrust upon the growing OF sugar
beets, might not be amiss at this
time.
| first became interested in try
ing to establish this industry III
this valley through Mr. Trego,
who with others, visited our vii.
lage with the Soren Hansen con.
tract.
The possibilities Of the industry
we're forcibly brought out by Mr..
Trego and o.workers, so much sc
that | contracted to grow beets,
under this contract with a haul OF
eight miles looking me in the face
and further offered to furnish, fol
a pariod Of five years, ten acres o.
good land, to anyone, free cf cost,
who would grow that amount o.
beets for five years. Later, whel
the proposition came closer home
/ contracted forty acres, and>wher
the proposition was made to bui'o
the factory year sooner than an
ticipated, / made an additlona
contract for one year OF eighteeI
acres.
This business at that time was
new to me. The eighteen acre:
in 1908, averaged fourteen and 3
half ton per acre. In 1904 j
planted 25 acres, a part of which
was on the same ground, which
averaged IS tons, and after paying
all my labor, which included seed,
planting, blowing, cultivating,
watering, hauling and Japanese
labor, it netted me $40 per acre
and was, after paying the hanc
labor (having done the rest our
selves) twice'the money we tool
from 95 acres of other crops
From 80 acres in 1905, | deliver
ed over 700 tons, and received
after paying $3.50 for hand labor
$23SO..
This crop Of beets, together
with 80 tons of hay, and 1906
bushels of grain, was raised ane

with an additional man to pillow
the beets, and pile the tops at time

with the men from the various
portions of the state, and enjoy
a short vacation,
Wayne Darlington, former
state engineer, arrived last even
ing from Los Angeles to attend
the political conference, being a
member of the state executive
committee. He states it was
storming heavily in the southern
California city when he left and
he travelled through storm all the
way to Idaho. The storm, he
says, seems to have been one Of
the most widespread and severe
that has ever visited the west.
George F. Gagon of Blackfoot,
who has been auditor and recorder
and clerk OF the district court of
Bingham county for eight years
past, is among the people from

ment, it is hinted that he is nnrs-
ing boomlet to become the Re-
publican standard bearer for the
position of secretary Of state this
year, to.succeed Will Fl. Gibson,
who has served two terms in that
position. His friends are "point-

Of his ability to fill the state po-
sition.
