Promises for Factories.
"Duriug the year several PROPOSE
tions have been made to the Al
yisory Board looking to the secur-
ing of the factories of various KINDS
for the city. These have been care
fully examined, and it is the Iudg-
ment of the board that IN Farming
ton as "A rule it is inadvisahlc to Sc
cure enterprises by paying to them
bonuses. Occasionally there may
arise an exception to this In the case
of small and local enterprises.
Railway and Mail Facilities.
Recently, by change in the rail
road schedules, there has been some
Inconvenience tn the city IN the
matter Of mail services and railroad
facilities. The Advisory Board has
taken the matter up, and while it IL
impossible to report anything defln-
itc we believe that In a short time
the railroad and mail facilities will
be AS good, If not better than form
erly.
Dues.
| ait has been found difficult 20 col
| lcct the dues Of the club promptly.
Some of the members not do seem to
rralizc the need Of having available
funds with which to prosecute the
work i'm hand. Others do net seem
to realize the work that has been
quietly done and the demonstrated
value of the club. In order to make
! the collection of dues the easier and
the more prompt, and also I" enlist
a larger number in the work OF the
club, we recommend that til" dues
he reduced from ten dollars II year
| to five dollars n year, payable quar-
| tcrly. And we recommend that the
club by resolution urge its members
to promptly pay as these Install
mcnts fall due.
Summer Play Ground.
1--WE call attention to the move
Imcnt to establish IL summer play
ground ut an expense of not over
$500. and recommend the same to be
established.
ain conclusion the Advisory
Board tenders its thanks to the
members of the club, who have, as
rule, heartily supported II in its
work We believe the Business
Mems Club of Farmingtou has a
work to do, and that 1t can he done
only by close organization. Many
good effects have already been seen
from the work of the past, notwith-
standing the temporary check III the
development of the city due to tho
financial furry. We urge that this
work be continued and pledge our
selves to give to our successors IN
office our hearty support in what
ever Is undertaken for the improve
ment of the town, either along, busi-
ness lines or along the lines of civic

the unveiling was done. Rev. p. w.
Powers was introduced, and he de-
livered very impressive sermon Ia
which he emphasized the value Of
hope, the noontide sun as an exam
pie of Its realization, and the sunset
as the benediction Of the Creator.
Mr.. Powers is q Chicago man, and
he reminded US of the great beauty
of our sunsets as compared with the
sunsets Of Chicago, the productive
ness OF our new farms as compared
with the new farms of other states
farther east. He paid beautiful
tribute to the resources of our great
plains when touched by the ingenui-
ty Of man, and out OF it all brought
the impressive lesson that Hope
springs eternal" to beckon us on to
things we see by faith.

Attacked by Wildcat.

Saturday evening, about O'Clock
Peter Goertzen, son of p. P. Goert-
zen, who resides on homestead
about three miles east of town, was
attacked by wildcat while en- route
home from American Falls. When
passing through the first draw east
OF town he espied bundle of hay, in
to which he tossed stone. No sooner
had he done so than mother cat
emerged from the hay and made for
him. The boy picked up another
stone and was fortunate in hitting
the animal fairly in the head, dazing
1T, and with stick finally drove it
away. After the mother had gone the
boy examined the hay and found a
hole. which he surmised led to the
nest. Fearing the presence of the
mate the boy set fire to the nest. Af-
ter 1t had burned the hay he found
four young, which explained the fer
ocity of the mother The boy arrived
home greatly excited, and considers
himself frounate that he came out of
the encounter uninjured. American

MEMORIAL WINDOW UNVEILED.

MENlOklAL WINDOW UNVEILED
Sunday morning the Jason LIE,
Memorial Window in the M. e
church was unveiled at the specia
service held at IL o'clock.
The window was covered with q
large United States flag supported
by rings on a window pole, and q
cord was so arranged that by pulling
1t, the flag was gathered to one side
OF the window.
Rev. G. A. Edwards, pastor Of the
church, was assisted by Rev. Perley
w. Powers of Chicago. Mr.. Edwards
stated that the historical facts con-
nected with Jason Lees visit to 1T.
Hall In July, 1874, were brought to
his notice last November by an arti-
Gle published by one of the bishops
OF the Methodist church, stating that
Rev. Jason Lee was the first ordained
minister Of any domination to set
foot on the Rocky mountains and his
sermon at old Ft. Hall fourteen miles
southwest of Blackfoot was the first
Protestant sermon preached west of
the Rockies. This announcement was
made after considerable research in
the history Of the west and north
west, and Rev. Edwards first consid-
cred erecting monument to Jason
Lee at the old fort, but on account
OF Its remOteness from the settle
ments he later decided to place the
memorial window.
1t cost $3.50 besides the freight
and cost Of putting it in position, and
is being paid for in donations Of one
dollar each from adults, and five
cents each from Sunday school chill
dren.
Mr.. Edwards said he was very glad
to have the honor of placing this
window, as In hundred years from
now, when he will probably care lit
tie for earthly honors, it will be
noteworthy matter, just as the visit
of Jason Lee to this locality seventy
four years ago Is noteworthy matter
now. He said, -Four years ago this
charge asked to have me sent to
Blackfoot, and. while was disap-
pointed at that time, am glad to be |
