PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE

The President sent special mes
sage to Congress last week, and the
following are some of its features:
The immediate re-enactment of the
employees liability act, limiting It's
scope.
Passage Of a comprehensive act
providing for compensation by the
government to employees injured In
service.
Action in connection with the
abuse of injunctions In labor
cases."
Action to secure better control
over business concerns engaged In
interstate commerce.
A certain measure of federal con-
troll over physical operation Of rail-
ways.
Forbidding use of mails and tele-
graph and telephone lines for gambl-
ing in stocks and futures.
Full power to the Department Of
Justice to deal with great corpora
tions.
Some Striking Points
There is no nation so absolutely
sure of ultimate success as ours.
l do not believe that the actions OF
this administration have brought on
business distress. But IL II were
true that to cut out rottenness from
the body polite meant momentary
check to an unhealthy seeming pros
perity I should not hesitate to put
the knife to the corruption.
1t is all wrong to use the injunc-
tion to prevent the entirely proper
and legitimate actions Of labor Or
agnizations in their struggle for In
dustrial betterment.
The administration and those who
support its views are not only not
engaged in an assault on property
but are strenuous upholders of the
rights of property.
We act In no vindicitive spirit
and we are no respectors of persons.
The business" which is hurt by
the movement OF honesty is the kind
of business, which ~ in the long run,
1t pays the country to have hurt

Bridge Meeting at Tilden.

There will be a meeting at Tilden
tonight to take steps to raise that
$4,000 necessary to start, things to
moving on the new bridge connecting
them with Pocatello.
A meeting was held Saturday even
ing and committee appointed to
draft bond, while others obtained
signers to certain amounts of money.
1t seems that the first step In the
enterprise is up to the people at Til
den and Otis, and when they do their
part, Pocatello and the two counties
are. ready to reach into their treas
uries.

ON
DRY FARMING

Mr.. e. r. Hawley of Howe, Lost
River, went down to Salt Lake to
attend the Dry Farming congress
and incidentally stopped on his Nre-
turn to shake hands, pay subscrip-
ton, cast his votes for piano con-
test girl and tell us the news. Mr.
Hawley is at once a farmer of repute
and a cattle man of note. He says
the Dry Farm congress was all right,
that we have been asleep for ages,
and have never had dream, no,
not even the Mormons have ever had
it revealed to them the possibilities
Of dry farming. He wants the farm
ers to dig little deeper and not crop
quite so often; says they have the
cream of all the land upon Little
Lost, and that the cows give only
cream, that they have 100000 acres
of the finest land in the state of Ida
ho that would yield Is bushels of
wheat to the acre under this process
of cultivation. The great secret 0f 1t
is deep blowing and thorough culti-
vation. Mr.. lHawley says that while
he is getting to be an old man and
has farmed all his life he realizes
there is much yet for him to learn
about, and he found a lot of good
things at this congress. Thinks our
young men should take more interest
and show more activity along the
line of progressive farming. He
agrees with Mr.. Younie, that Idaho
needs an experiment station and
must have one; is going to communi
cate with Congressman French and
advises others to do the same. We
elect officers to see that the wishes of
a majority of the people are carried
out, and we should be aggressive In
making known our wants. We can
get the government experiment sta
ton If we interest ourselves suficient~
ly. Mr. Hawley also thinks that two
thirds of the forest reserve land could
be cultivated under dry farming.

INSTITUTE
AT ABERDEEN

O. F. Smith returned from Aber-
deem last Saturday, and reported that
the institute held there Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday was the
best he had attended in the state.
The meetings consisted of seven
sessions, and were held'in bie tent.
All kinds of farm topics were discuss
ed, including irrigation, fruit rails
ing, poultry, meadows, pasture, sugar
beets, home building and centralized
schools. Mr.. Smith emphasized what
we have always told our readers, that
the settlers down there are of the
thrifty get-up-andgo kind, and what
ever they do is done In an intelligent
manner.
A year ago the first settlers went
in on the tract, and by midsummer
they had big settlement, many big
fields of grain, fine school building
put up by donation among the set
tiers, and many other things done
that bespeak the character of the
settlers.
They have asked the townsite
company for ten acres Of land on the
southern boundary line Of town, for
location for the new centralized
school, and will arrange to teach
agriculture as well as the usual
studies. A petition will be present.
ed to the commissioners at the April
term, asking that their school district
be enlarged to include about 100
square miles, and the free delivery
of pupils will be adopted, the same
as at Twin Falls, which seems to be
pronounced success.
The lands to be included in the
new district, Mr.. Smith says are
bounded as follows: Commencing at
the N. e. corner of tip. 5 south, 81
east; then west ID miles to county
line, south to Blaine county line east
to Snake River, then up the river
to the line between sections 81 and
80; then north to place of beginning.
They are planning to put up a
four-room building this year, and It |
is to be built so this can be added to |
and make 1t eight rooms. We pre-
dict that Aberdeen will do great
things in the next few years, and |
we wish to repeat what we have often
said before, that our Blackfoot peo-
pie would do we'll to get railroad
from here to American Falls to come
In touch with the settlements on the
Carey tract.
If we were living at Aberdeen we
would agitate for the experimental
station on dry farming to be located
on the plains west of there and north
of the Short Line. II we lived at
Tilden, we would try to have It on
the lands now embraced In the reser-
vation opposite Tilden. II we lived
In Pocatello or American Falls we
would be satisfied to have 1t any
where on the southern part Of the
reservation Being a resident of
Blackfoot and interested in Lost
River, we would suggest having 1t
on the great plains west of Moreland
and south of Tabor, or In the vicini-
ty of the Big Butte.

SCHOOL FAIR
PROPOSITION

The school fair heretofore an
nounced for February 22nd has been
postponed. Whether it will be held
in April during the teachers insti-
tute or laid over for one year is not
yet determined This decision is
the result of a conference of persons
representing several schools that
ought to be represented in the ex-
hibit, and whose superintendents
wanted to participate, but could not
arrange to make the necessary pre-
parations in so short time. In
deed, they had already assumed all
the work they could handle before
the school fair was announced, and
while they thought it a most ex-
cellent thing to do, something else
would have to be neglected if they
had their schools prepare work for
the exhibit. None of them wanted
to be left out, and none of them
could see their way clear to do JUS
tice to the fair.
The Blackfoot school, which was
to be the host in this matter, is at
an especial disadvantage for such an
affair, because it is just changing
superintendents, and will change
again before the date set for the fair.
The school needs another teacher,
but this one will not be employed
soon enough to tighten the work this
month.
The Blackfoot School.
Work is progressing nicely in all
departments; all the teachers and
pupils are working to their full ca
pacity. The discipline is good, and
all seem determined to do their part
toward making good score in a
general way. Rev. C. A. Edwards is
acting superintendent until some
body can be employed to fill the
place. The board is so well pleased
with his work that he was asked by
them to continue to the end of the
term, but he declined to do so be-
cause he would have to neglect his
church work. He says there is as
much to do at school as one man
should have on his hands, and there
is also ample room for a minister to-
work in Blackfoot.
Mr.. Richardson, the teacher of
athletics, is assisted by Hugh Nc
Vicar who has had considerable
training in athletics before coming
here, and they handle the classes in
two sections. Everything in this
line is done according to schedule
that fits into class work in the other
buildings, and all pupils will be
graded in athletics the same, as in
other work.
The citizens class work each
evening is going on with much in
terest to those taking the work. The
>gentlemen's evenings are Monday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday
from 1880 to 10 p. M, and the ladies
on Tuesday and Friday at the same
hours
Country people wishing to study
the work of athletics in the school
can gain admission to the building
for class work at any time during

but. after all, looks, eyes, smiles and
hair are the main points to be consld-

as these things appeal more to woman
than to man, she is in the way to
make more mistakes. Common sense
ought to tell women that good-lookin'
men don't make the best husbands;
but that's where the trouble hes-the
lack of common sense. A curl hangin'
low over a forehead and sort OF tune
