cation Congress to be held in Sacramen.
to, September 2-7 next The president
of the congress, Governor George e.
Chamberlain of Oregon, has written to
the governors of the sixteen western
states and territories which come under
the provisions of the national reclama-
tion ac. inviting them to be present and
especially urging the Importance OF the
presence of the executives Of all these
states. Governors of other states have
also been or will be invited to attend and
several are expected to come long dis
tances for the purpose Of attending and

Summer Coal Famine.


A serious coal famine is threatening
this city and the entire Snake River
Valley. For over six weeks there has not
been any coal shipped into Blackfoot for
commercial use. During the winter the
railroad urged the storing of coal in the
summer, and altho the dealers have
made extensive preparations for the coal
their orders have been turned down an
the ground that it is impossible to get
cars.
As all the threshing machines in the
valley are equipped with coal burners,
the coal famine threatens the grain
crop. The situation has become SO ser
rious that an appeal will be directed to
the interstate commerce commission
asking for relief.

has also been admitted to the practice
of law in this state. During visit here
last July he acquired interests in tracts
Of farm lands in this county, the title
to which was defective, and on this
account represented but little value.
1t was to the very complicated legal
task of clearing title to these lands that
Mr.. Harding has directed his attention
and met with success. He is now the
owner of valuable land in this county
near Idaho Falls which he regards
a very valuable investment.

sweet memories of scenes among the alb

Other Projects.

The editor of The Republican spent
last week looking up irrigation projects
and resources which might be de, sioped
in the Lost River Valley and on the
Snake River Plains, and some time in
July we will give report on them.
The resources of those localities stand
out greater as one studies them more,
and we consider them of mutual in
terest 70 those places and Of this valley.
A big holiday excursion to Lost River
points to enable everybody to see and
get acquainted, would be of much value
both socially and CONNER cially.
If 500 or 1000 of us should go out some
hot morning to visit Lost River people
for a day, we think they would meet us
with open handed hospitality and show
us the best fishing, the coolest canyons,
the greenest ferns, the coldest water.
the sweetest cream-but stop! We are
nearly asking them to invite us out
there; yet if we went we could furnish
the keenest thirst for their spring water,
the finest berries for their cream, the
finest cakes to eat with berries and
cream in the shade Of the ferny canyons
the best of fishing tackle to catch their
trout, and the handsomest girls to en-
tertain their gallant farmer boys.
1t is little early to go now. We will
wait until haying is over.
