NEW ENTERPRISE FOR BLACK
E0CIT

w. l.. Braley is making some in
vestigations of the profits of raising
asparagus, very~commonly but err
roneously called "aspara grass" His
attention was called to it by G.. w.
Parrish who does much market gar
dening east of town, and Is supply
ing the local market. Many people,
and especially the older settlers, have
become accustomed to doing without
asparagus and many other equally
delicious and wholesome vegetables,
and until their attention is directed
to 1t, they are slow to adopt it. So
long as only little of 1t is raised,
the price Is apt to be high, and with
its increased use, great profits can be
made supplying 1t at more moderate
prices.
Asparagus is perennial plant, and
needs but little cultivation, though
it needs good mellow soil for good
results. Like rhubarb, when once
started, it can be relied upon to come
up and be ready for use early, just
when people need this change of diet.
Mr.. Parrish brings in bulbs or
oldlhS VI asparagus every Qdy IHdL
are about an inch in diameter and
six inches long, that are grown in
two days. That is, he cuts the stalks
every second day and they are just
right for use. II left much longer they
would bet getting woody or fibrous
and would not be so nice for table
use.
There is cannery at Woods Cross,
Utah, where they have been making
great profits on this product for many
years, and land rents for 500 an
acre per year to raise it on. Mr..
Parrish says he has had experience
both at Woods Cross and at Black
foot, and finds this soil and climate
better adapted to its growth. This
being the case there is no reason why
Blackfoot should not be canning as
paragus and making money for all
connected with 1t, except that we
have overlooked good thing.

LEASE LAND ON RESERVOIR SITE
Uncle Sam Will Permit Use of Fine
Ranches on BlackfOot River
4 During Season of 1909.

Uncle Sam wants to lease his lands
on the Blackfoot reservoir site for
the crop season Of 1909 and sell the
improvements thereon. Major John
J. Granville, superintendent in charge
Of the Fort Hall irrigation project,
is advertising the reservoir site for
lease. The lands include SO acres of
the William H. Chester place, 240
acres of the Tolmie place, 100 acres
of the Grant Barney place and sos
acres of the Ira Hogan place. These
ranches were acquired by the govern
ment last year, some by condemnation
and the others by direct purchase. All
of them are we'll improved and the
terms of the lease will provide for
outright purchase of the improve
ments and their removal within a rea-
sonable time after the expiration of
the lease.
Work on the Blackfoot dam is
rapidly, but the reservoir
will not be ready for closing the
gates until next year-Po catello Trib-
une.

Hospital
The Village Improvement society
is requested to consider the matter
of keeping the Rest Rooms open as a
hospital or place of common refuge
for persons who may meet with acct
dents or be taken i'll and need atten-
ton. 1t was suggested that it would
be very nice provision If physicians
would tender their services free OF
charge for such cases as might come
to the hospital on this occasion, SO

might happen. The speaker said that
our physicians are as generous and as
public-spirited as anybody else, and
that they would probably respond il
needed, just the same as other citi-
zens who will work that day to have
every feature of the big jubilee as
perfect as possible.
Must Meet Often.
! Chairmen of committees are re-
quested to organize their members
for active work and to call their mem
bers together often to plan the work
and make reports of their progress to
the general committee. The commit
tee on general arrangements con
sists of T. r. Jones, G. A. Edwards,
Byrd Trego, K. P. Brown, j. T. Car
ruth, and l., r. Thomas. While the
work is in progress this committee
will probably hold a meeting every
evening to confer with one or two
of the other committees.
One man expressed the fear that
some of the committees were too
large in numbers, and that perhaps
the work would drag for want of the
quorum at meetings that are called.
Chairmen are instructed that any
even one on the committee,
If only one is at the meeting, should |
80 ahead with such work as seemed |
best, and those who neglect or are
unable to get to the meeting are ex-
Dected to cooperate in whatever is
planned at such meeting. The work
must go on regardless of numbers or
he lack of them.

States Depository in 1905. A United
States depository can receive moneys
for the government, but cannot pay
out to individuals, while United
States depositary can receive money
and pay it out again to individuals
on presentation of proper checks or
vouchers This enables the bank to
let considerable federal money out in

thing doing such as paying of the
Indians allotment and building can

This settlement is about fifteen
miles below Blackfoot, and also has
some springs, fish ponds and fine
farming lands. 1t has a post Office
and school, and some fine placer
mines that attracted the attention of
Madam Nordica last year. She took
up some claims and you need not be
surprised IL she goes to gay Paris
on her present honeymoon to promote
a scheme to make Rich famous for
It's mines.

THEY ARE GETTING RESULTS.

An interesting experiment has been
going on In one of the business houses
in BlackfoOt since the first of the
year, that is worthy of notice, and is
of considerable interest to the public.
1t has often been remarked that
none of the Blackfoot merchants car
ry large advertisements all the time,
and 1t has been accounted for by
careful observers on the ground that
so much reliance was placed upon
the Indian trade, people who do not
read the papers. Last January the
Brown Eldredge Furniture company
decided to carry half page advertise
ment for six months, telling some
thing new each week, to see IL the
public were sufficiently interested in
business matters and home building,
to keep In touch with their operations
and study their goods to the extent Of
buying Systematically OF the speciali-
ties this firm brought to their atten-
ton.
The business has been entirely In
the hands of s. w. Wilson and e. T.
Peck, Mr.. Wilson placing the goods
on exhibit in the big plate glass win
dows, and Mr.. Peck preparing the
snappy advertisements each week to
call attention to the goods on dis
play.
Results have been carefully check
ed and sales compared with the cor
responding seasons of past years, and
it is most assuring. Comments Of the
customers show that they read the
matter In the paper, and that they
study the goods In the windows and
on the floor. This leads to COM
parison of the goods on display with
the goods already in the homes and
in the homes Of others, and as is al
ways theicase when high class articles
are being compared, the high class
article wins favor. If the person
making the comparison has good fur
niture in his home, and notices the
harmony of the displays made by this
firm from week to week, he has de-
sire to keep to that which builds the
inside Of his home in harmony. The
old resident who has some fine chairs,
decides that when he buys the book
case or the cheffonier, he will get
equally good and to match.
The young married couple in studying
the situation, begin to picture the
furniture that harmonizes, and IL
their funds are not sufficient to get all
they want and have it good, will get
a few pieces and splice out with some
goods, boxes and calico until they are
in position to add to their needs
and have it good. The new settler
who builds shack in a hurry and
goes to buy a cupboard, kitchen
cabinet, table, a bed, some window
shades and linoleum, thinks twice be-
fore taking something cheap, for he
expects to buy more next year and
be wants it to harmonic all round.
This firm keeps the variety--the
good, better and best-one of the
things that has brought them GUS
toners and brought the same Gus
toners back from year to year to add
10 their stock is the personal interest
.aken in getting every customer sup

the course of which he comments, as
follows, on the market value of slaves.
"The prevailing price in 1908 for
men was $45 each, women and child
rem half price. In 1907, before the
panic, it was $50 per man. All slaves
entering the valley must lay over at
Tuxtepec, where an official of the dis
trict counts them and exacts a toll of
ten per cent Of the purchase price for
protection.
'The almost open partnership of the
government in the slave traffic must
necessarily have some excuse. The
excuse is the debt, and S. advance fee
usually paid by the agent to the Ia
borer. It is unconstitutional but it
serves. The presidente of Vale Mac

official in all southern Mexico who will
not recognize the advance fee as a
