DON'T LIKE THE TRUTH.

The Ashton Enterprise is under
fire because-well, just because.
A couple of the young people UP
there had an exciting elopement, and
the tongue Of scandal wagged for
everything good and bad. Editor
Hartvigsen Investigated the matter
and published about half of the
truth, emitting some things that were
none of the public's business, and
now lot of people who usually want
the news, are swearing that a news
paper has no business to tell every
thing that happens. 1t is the old
story Of the people wanting the news
when it suits them, and expecting the
editor to suppress it when it is
humiliating to somebody.
That brings them back to the
question "The fear of an unbiased
and outspoken press does more to
prevent people from doing these un-
savory things than any other insti-
tuition and the next couple that
plans to fly high from Ashton, will
consider what the Enterprise will
have to say of it, and feel more dis.
posed to omit what would be humili
ating to themselves and friends.

G. ]. Peterson, at his home near

ease. The deceased was born in
Higjoch, Smoland, Sweden, February
18th. 1910, and came to America in
1868, settled in Attica, Indiana. He
remained there one year, then moved
to Manson, Iowa, and took up a
homestead and followed his trade as
carpenter and contractor for several
years. Three Lutheran churches
still stand at that place as monu-
ments of his handiwork.
Becoming broken in health, he
was advised to change climate and
emigrated to Haxtum, Colorado in
1887 and remained there seven years.
Hearing of the fertile land in the
Snake River valley he decided to
move there and arrived at Idaho
Falls in the spring of 1894, purchased
40 acres of land in the West side, but
in the fall sold the same and pur-
chased ESQ acres near Basalt, at
which place he since had made his
home.
The deceased was married to JUS
tina Abrahamson in in 1854. To
this union were born II children,
eight of whom are now living.
Mr.. Peterson was a member of
the Lutheran church from boyhood
and when he realized that the final
summons had come he expressed his
willingness to meet his Maker.
Mr.. Peterson was sufferer from
heart disease for rs years He leaves
a widow, eight children and a
brother.
The remains were inferred in the
Blackfoot cemetery.

OUR COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The people Of Blackfoot are losing
golden opportunities by not having a
commercial club or boosters club
and each year they neglect it the
more serious is their loss.
The farmers on the West side are
trying to organize something of their
own to benefit themselves without
doing anybody else any harm, and
they would be glad to cooperate with
town people in a boosters club. This
is a good time Of the year to get to-
gether in such a work. The main
thing to be done in getting together
is to eliminate politics, religion and
petty jealousies, and each work fol
the good of all.

SPOILS A NICE STORY.

A story is going the rounds of the
press that Miss Raney, pure blood
Indian girl and an actress, has made
some remarkable statements as to her
people and her determination not to
marry anybody not of her own race.
Her home is at Pocatello Idaho, and
the story reads WELL SO it is pity to
spoil it, but here are the facts in the
case.
Miss Raney is the daughter of a
white man and a Swedish woman.
She has blue eyes and rather light
hair. After the death of her father,
whose name was Phillips, the mother
married a half-breed Indian named
Charlie Raney. The daughter, Mary
Ann Phillips, was placed in school at
Fort Hall Con Lincoln creek), be-
cause the child was in the custody of
a stepfather who had Indian blood.
When Mary Ann entered school her
teachers did not like the name very
well and gave her the name of
Marie. Mr.. Raney died some years
ago and Mrs. Raney married a half
breed named Powell
The question, How old is ANN"
gives way to "How much Indian is
Ann?"

How 1t Comes About.
The credit of bringing this matter
to public notice and of making the
arrangements SO far as they have
been developed, belongs to Rev. C. A.
Edwards, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church of this place. When
he brought the matter to the atten-
ton of the men in charge of arrange
ments for the quadrennial conven-
ton at Seattle, they recognized the
important part this locality had
played in Christianity in the North
west, and responded promptly with
plans to make Blackfoot one of the
landmarks in the program and the
excursion.
Note-Fort Hall as referred to in
this article, is the place we have re-
ferred to heretofore as Fort Hall No.
One, and was the original post located
on Fort Hall Bottoms, near where the
Mort Neuf river flows into the Snake.
1t is nearly midway between Black
foot and American Falls.
