J. M. Hill of Macksy spent Sun
day in town, and likes the place.
He says we are not so sporty as
the Mackay, but are also less
likely to 60 broke. "Whyo we
bet on anything that comes along
at Mackay, "said Mr.. Hill" We
think nothing of betting $4,000
or SO, 900 on ball game, or ST.
900 on a foot race. Why few
days ago, there was a bet of $500
on a bird flying. Yes there
was. Two birds sat on wire in
front Of Chase Clark's office and
the fellows began to speculate on
which bird would fly first. Money
was put up on both sides, and
when there was $500 staked on
the birds one OF them Aew and
the lucky fellows took the money.
! don't suppose you agricultural
folks here would use up any en-
ergy about bird flying, but you
would stake everything on beet
crop and feed the world on sugar
in the fall. Why | had a letter a
few days ago from my old mother
at Springfield Illinois, God bless
her, aid she said she was pre-
serving fruit with sugar made at
Blackfoot, Idaho, and what do
You suppose she SAID! 1T is such
nice sugar!' 1t costs us 1915 a
sack here, but ! suppose you get
it very cheap there! Now | wish
you would tell me why they can
ship it back to Illinois and sell it
for less than you can get it for

Mrs. Hales and Mrs. Morgan
of Park City were the guests Of
James Just and wife last Satur-

James II. Miller of Shelley
brought his family to visit friends
in Presto Sunday.
"Labor Day was observed in
most appropriate manner, the
threshing machine having started
up on that day and all hands
labored in the good old fashioned
way.
Twice during the past week
there has been need of a road
supervisor or sheriff to assist
some of our neighbors in pulling
out of a mudhoIe on the county
road between Presto and Shelley.
Now this is no new thing, owing
to the pure neglect of the people
living along that road it is already
bog hole. There is law against
such abuse of the public highway
but does not seem to disturb these
good citizens. They even irrigate

FAIR NOTES
Presto people feel quite Gu

that are hard to beat too.
Messrs Just and Twitchell have
a fine Stallion they will show in

when asked about construction
work on the unfinished portion OF
the canal below Springfield, he
haG orders to push the work just
as fast as men and money could
do it.
When asked as to the state
ments made in the American
Falls Press as to the great length
of time required to complete it he
said it had been badly misrepre-'
sented by that paper, and that the
fills yet to be made, two miles
long and eight feet high spoken
of by that papel, have been rep,
resented to be about twenty times
as long as the survey shows ! them hvel J
to be.
On Monday evening after the
money and receipts had been ex-
changed on the land sale, meet
ing Of some Of the heaviest
stockholders IN the canal was held
in the canal was held in the par
Tors Of the Cottage Hotel to dis
cuss matters of interest concern
ing the completion of the big cam
al, and the plans mapped out pro-
vide for its completion to Ameri-.
can Falls by June 1908. They
we're all enthusiastic about the
future of the canal and the big,
tract of land under it, and some
Of them expressed a wish to push
the proposed railroad thru the
tract, but the majority held to
the policy Of completing the canal
before taking up that work. There
was some talk Of having the road
connect with the q. S. L. at Ban
mock Station and Blackfoot in,
stead Of at American Falls and
Blackfoot as 1t has generally been
indicated, for the reason that more
traffic would point toward Poca-
tello and Sal Lake than the south
and west frep Aberdeen, aud this
would shorten the amount of road
to build and Operate.
A Water Users Association
was formed at Aberdeen Saturday
evening. Officers were elected,
bylaws adopted and a large mem
bership formed. The member
ship fee was fixed at $1.50 and
annual dues at $1.00.
The meeting was attended by
many settler and mem bers of the
canal company, and the meeting
was harmonious and satisfactory.
