Immediately following the desertion
of his wife and SIX children by David
Allen-the history of which is we'll
known-a subscription paper was started
for the relief of the family, which had
been left, according to the wife, in a
destitute condition, and the good and
generous people of Blackfoot dug deep
into their geans and fished up some rs
odd dollars, which was turned over to
Mrs. Allen. This description was made
up of amounts ranging from 80 cents to
S., and was given with a "God help

On the very night of it's delivery into
her hands the recipient began to show
her motherly and womanly appreciation
by forgetting her sorrows and appear

pie at places of amusement. Thus
started the round of pleasure and de-
bauchery that eliminated on Tuesday
in the departure of the family for south
ern points and more congenal climate,
where the motherhood save the mark

owner OF q motor car who exceeds the

number of policeman is limited. When

drivers they are withdrawn from their
proper duty of guarding homes and
preventing disorder. Business men

to motor cars, have property
which needs police protection, They

at least. must be admitted TO do their
work at small expense, The engineers

land at an average cost OF four and
one-half cents an acre. Even this Is
On Increase over the expense In pre-
vious years. which has been three
and one-half and four and one-thlrd
cents. The reason Is that most OF
the level, accessible and easily sur.
veyed land has been disposed of. That
which has to be surveyed now Is
mountainous or Inaccessible, and con.
sequently the cost is greater.
