IDAHO FALLS.


The celebration of the Fourth pass
ed off most successfully. 1t was es-
timated that there were Van average
of over twenty thousand people in
town on the two days of the cele-
bration. . The best feature of the pro-
gram was the merchants parade on
Saturday morning. The floats were
both unique and original in design;
some exceedingly artistic. Prizes
were awarded as follows First, John
son & O'Malley, plasterers, who dis
played their work on wall erected
on their, float; second, divided be-
tween Anderson Bros. and Ferrell's
department stores; third, divided
between Anderson Bros. Bank and
Wipperman.
The baseball game on Friday be-
tween Idaho Falls and st. Anthony
was won by the latter, score 8 to 1;
on Saturday between Pocatello and
st. Anthony resulted in victory for
the former by score of II to 5.
The broncho busting and bucking
contests attracted great crowds on
both days Many wild horses were
saddled and ridden: one or two be-
came so unmanageable that they tore
through the crowd and ran over sew
eral, but no serious injuries were in
tlicted. Some doubt is expressed as
to the value of such exhibitions.
While a wild horse must often be
handled roughly. needless display of
this is to be deplored. That some
horses were cruelty dashed and spur
red last week to furnish entertain
ment for the spectators cannot be
denied. Too little feeling is shown
for the youthful horse--man's most
useful beast. We need to cultivate
more of this feeling.
The celebration closed by an illu-
minated parade, led by the president
of the club of commerce in costume,
which was a beautiful and fitting
finish

FRUIT GROWERS ASSOCIATION
NEEDED,

1t is time some organized effort
was being made to handle the fruit
produced in this locality. Whenever
there is too much of anything for the
local market, and not enough to sup
ply outside markets with any partic-
ular amount put up in standard
crates and in marketable condition,
it makes slump in the price, and
the producers have to bear the loss.
There is plenty of market for all
of our berries and other fruits, but
the trouble Is that none Of the mer-
chants find it desirable to look up
the markets and familiarize them
selves with them, and the producer
cannot do it alone. He can always
find somebody to whom he can ship
his produce for while, but that per-
son or firm is apt to be the one that
does not pay. The excuse made is
generally that old kick that it was
not put up in proper condition, or
was partly spoiled when it reached
the market, and this is only too true,
in many cases. The producers need
to organize and learn how to pack
their product. and take the trouble
to keep in touch with the market and
with reliable dealers or consumers, so
they can get the pay for what they
deliver in proper condition. If they,
do not care to take the risk of ship
ping, they can generally find mer--
chants willing to handle the product
when it is properly packed, and when
orders can be filled with certainty. II
dealer goes out and gets orders
and is then unable to fill them, he
soon gets to point where he does
not care to take orders, and then the
producers are apt to criticise him for
not handling what they have to sell.
Both the producer and the dealers
need protection, and they should
build up a system together.

TO FRUIT GROWERS OF BINGHAM
AND FREMONT COUNTIES.

Blackfoot, Idaho, June "a.
Owing to the unreasonable weather
in these counties during the blossom
ing period of the orchards rendering it
impossible to do the calyx spraying at
the proper time, 1t makes 1t very neces-
sary that all growers should at once
get at the spraying in order to place
the poison on the fruit and foliage be-
fore the first brood of worms begin to
work.
The state board of horticulture in
their bulletins recommend three differ
arsenate of lead. OF these the arsenate
Of lead is by far the best as 1t contains
a small per cent of glucose causing
the spray when dry to adhere better
to the fruit and foliage making 1t less
liable to be washed off by showers and
in all actual field work as well as ex-
periments has given the best results
in the larger majority of cases where
used.
FORMULAS lbs. Arsenate Lead to
so gallons water. Mix arsenate with
little water to make very thin paste.
Then pour into barrel or tank with
water and stir occasionally to keep
well mixed.
Thoroughly spray both inside and
outside of trees from all points to COW
err all leaves and fruit until the spray
drips from the tree as 1t would with
rain.
AS you no doubt all know that our
state laws prohibit the sale of wormy
and scaley fruit, each grower should
put his shoulder to the wheel and spray
AT ONCE In order to obtain the great
est returns from the product of his
orchard.
The time for best work has passed
and only by prompt attention to the
spraying can the best results be OBJ
tanned. To use a popular expression,

FOREIGN SETTLERS.

One of the most noticeable feat
ures of Upper Snake River valley is
the number of settlers coming In and
making their homes. The valley is
a network of little settlements or
town sites and every acre of arabic
land is rapidly being put under cult
walton.
The settlers are from all parts of
the United States and from some
foreign countries. Going through a
town like Rexburg we find families
from all sections. In one afternoon
families were found from Georgia,
Mississippi, Illinois, Germany, Swift
zerland and Denmark who were un-
abel to speak word Of English.
Those families from other sections
of the United States cannot be dis
tinguished from those native to Ida
no. Their language, interests and
general life are, of course, identical
with those of persons of this state.
But a question comes as to wheth
er these foreign immigrants are
beneficial to the country and make
really good settlers. We find house
after house containing former Ger
man and Swiss peasants who respond
with "Nein, Nein," when you ask
them If they understood or can
speak English. However, they are
rapidly learning the language, not
only the younger members becoming
proficient but the older ones as well.
In these homes where the English
language is but little Spoken and but
poorly understood, we have to look
about, us to find indications as to
their usefulness or uselessness to
society.
In nearly every home we find
newspapers. Every householder
seems anxious to possess a few good
books, and all of the children try to
get to school. This certainly is an
indication of progress.
The foreign settler is for the most
part one of the thriftiest and most
Industrious individuals in America
Every garden owned by the German
settlers is a pattern for the Stacker
Americans. All kinds of vegetables
and berries, flowers and fruits are
laid out in neat, boxed rows that are
guiltless of weeds The door yards
are swept clean and the back alley
contains no tin cans and other rub
bish. Here then is another great
proof of good citizenship.
Unfortunately, the interior of the
houses are not always as Clearly as
the exterior. In some instances the
floors are spotless and what 'scanty
furniture the family possesses is
busted and tastefully arranged. But
usually the interior presents tou-
sled, dirty aspect that makes one
long for a housekeeping day House
keeping with American utensils
seems to be thing yet to be learned
by these newcomers.
On the whole these people are
strictly honest and of excellent char
acter. OF the better type we find
foremost the Germans, Swiss, Swed-
ish and Danish people One can rely
upon these people as frank, open
and honest class.
1t would seem then that these
strangers coming among us are of
good material to build American cit
liens of. If during the process of
naturalization they can retain their
native honesty and thrift they will
form class whom We native born
Americans can we'll be-glad to neigh
Dor with. Number 10.

LETTER FROM PAHsIsIARI.
Range, Resources and SchOOIs-An-
telope, High Water and Lynch
ing.

Pahsimari Valley, although $50
miles from Blackfoot, may be of in
terest to readers of The Republican.
At present farmers and stockmen are
in good spirits. Range grass is won
derfully luxuriant. Water for irri-
cation is so plentiful that streams
are all high and the little cottonwood
grove on Morris creek, where our
patriotic citizens are wont to gather
on July 4th is flooded. Celebrations
were held in different parts of the
valley
Our population of about one hun
dred and twenty-five freeholders is
spread over the country in clusters
of from few to ten or twelve fam
lilies in place, and cover in area
a stretch of open bar land As miles
in length from Ellis to Burnt creek
and from to 10 miles in width from
foothills to foothills. The assessed
valuation Is about equally divided
between Custer and Lemhi counties.
Hay, grain and vegetables have
been considered our chief crop but
enterprising citizens have demon
strated that many parts are adapted
to fruit growing. ]. Walker of Ellis
believes in five years he will need
several cars to ship his-apples. AS
for small fruits all of the. popular
kinds are successfully grown.
AS for schools and society in gen.
eral, we are an average free-hearted,
liberal western community. There
have been few morse and cattle
thieves, but are now about welded
out. There are four school districts
one at May, being asgraded school
of two rooms. The building recent
ly erected there having cost about
$4,000, makes nice improvement in
that village. Ministers from the
Chants parish generally officiate at
funerals, weddings and hold services
in our various districts.
Land values with the best of water
rights are reasonably cheap. There is
undoubtedly considerable public wa
ter to be appropriated. 1t will re-
quire some money for expensive
bitches or small reservoir. But the
expense would be low compared to
cost of water right in large canal or
reservoir propositions.
We invite the homeseeker from the
east. to investigate.
E. D. Reese finished shearing
sheep on the Goth.
1t is reported on good authority,
that VIM. Harris, an occasional resi-
dent of upper Pahsimari, who es-
capped from the custody of Justice
Nichols of May last spring, has been
lynched over in Wood River. 1t will
be remembered that Harris was ar
rested by Sheriff Jones of Shoshone
and turned over to the justice while
other fugitives were searched for.
During the sheriff's absence, the pri-
soner made good his escape. Re-
flecting persons are asking if our
slack officers are not indirectly re-
sponsible for such lynching.
Everybody is preparing to make
hay.
There are quite a few antelope on
our bars now. This speaks well for
our game wardens.
