v. 1. S. MATTERS.

The v. /. S. with the assistance of
the new town council are doing good
grade work in the streets of the
cemetery and will institute another
clean up day soon, when all owners
Of lots will be asked to join the work
ers by doing work on their own lots
only.
Some graves of Il. A. r. men were
found in the potters field section and
measures will be adopted for their
removal to suitable lot as soon as
possible.
The question of such things as po-
tato parings, feathers, ashes, ETC.,
being thrown in the trash boxes was
again discussed at the meeting Tues
day, and the secretary was again in
structed to remind the public through
the press that these boxes are only
intended for tin cans, bottles, broken
dishes, glass and such other refuse
as cannot be burned or disposed of
to men who gather up slop etc for
feeding pigs. This advantage is also
taken to again warn those who car
ry off or mutilate the boxes that there
is fine attached to same when the
guilty parties can be located. Take
pride in the alleys and phone Mrs.
Gagon when you see things in dis
order; she is chairman of the box
committee and the society will be
grateful for your interest.
Rev. Edwards was present at the
Tuesday session and presented the
Diamond Jubilee celebration to take
place July 4th in our town. The
ladies were already interested but
he created so much enthusiasm that
unanimous vote was taken in favor
of the society purchasing flag for
the occasion, after which it will be
presented to the city of Blackfoot for
patriotic use.

at Idaho Falls and the Blackfoot COM
mercial club to raise $500 each, and
this work will be undertaken by pop
ular subscription. Another meeting
of the committee will be held at
Idaho Falls on Wednesday the 18th.
It is desirable to get all exhibits to-
'gether by the first Of June.
People are requested to assemble
whatever they have that they are will
ing to furnish for this purpose and
deliver it to the committee or to
Hubbell Brothers at the elevators at
Idaho Falls or BlackfOot where 1t
will be cared for free of charge until
time for shipment.
Jos. Taylor will give fine lot OF
potatoes and some other products OF
his farm and the Johnson -Severson
company of Blackfoot is preparing
some samples Of fine wool.
People should respond as freely as
they may feel able in contributing
both products and money as the COM
mittee have to donate their own work
and nobody receives any pay for prod
ucts or service. The money is used
to pay freight, dray bills, lumber bills
for packing and Grating, and other
things furnished by disinterested peo-
pie who require the cash.

LEARN THE LAWS OF IDAHO.
The State Adopts New Mode Of Let
ting all its Citizens Know What
Laws Have Been Enacted.
Nobody need be Ignorant.

Nobody need be ignorant.
The complexities OF eur present
civilization have made 1t impossible
for anybody but a lawyer to keep well
informed as to the existing laws, and
the general public knows but little
Of them. To publish all the laws that
are enacted at each session OF the
legislature, would be to create great
expense bill and load the public with
lot Of matter they would not care
to read, but the last session made 1t
the duty of the secretary OF state to
have published In the leading news
papers Of each county, synopsis Of
the new laws, and though the state
ments are brief enough Is given to en-
able person to get an understanding
of the intent of the law and to look It
up more fully by its title If they wish
to.
In this issue Of the paper we are
inserting supplement giving what
has been compiled for publication BY
Secretary of State Robert Lansdon

said he was willing to serve without
compensation il the rest preferred
to do that. Mr.. Younie' replied that
he was willing, that until the bond
issue was made there would have to
be economy practiced somewhere to
keep from going behind.
A petition was presented asking
that Shilling avenue be made a ce-
ment walk district and this was very
favorably considered. The petition
was supported by large percentage
of residents and property holders,
showing that they were anxious to do
their part. 1t was decided to estab-
lish the curb line thirty feet from
the middle of the street and the at
torney was instructed to draft a reso-
luton to bring these matters before
the public and it will probably be
done by the next meeting, after which
the public will have legal notice Of
all the details, SO they can offer sup-
port or protest as they may choose
before final action is taken.
A building permit was granted to
w. T. Lindsay to build stable, and

g. w. GRAY HONORED BY THE
GOVERNOR.
(Pocatello Tribune.)


Charles w. Gray, OF the real estate
and loan brokerage firm of Gray g.
Gray of this city, has been honored
by Governor Brady by appointment
as a member OF the committee to de-
termine the best method or advertis-
ing Idaho at the Seattle exposition.
The other members of the committee
are Reilly Atkinson and ID. W. Hub
bard of Boise; Major Fred Reed Of
Twin Falls; Henry Heitfelt OF Lewis
ton, +. G. Bowman of Idaho Falls
and Herman Rossl OF Wallace. The
work OF this committee is thus out
lined In the Statesman:
Idaho will be the most thoroughly
advertised state represented at the
Seattle exposition, If the plans of the
commissioners materialize, and assur-
ance have been given by practically
every county and commercial club
that they will. Among other features
recently proposed and found accept
able by the board, Is moving picture
show adjoining the Idaho building,
which will display selected views of
industries actually In progress In the
state.
1T was hoped that an auditorium
might be constructed adjoining the
reception hall in the state building
where stereoptican might be i'm
stalled, but this was declared not fea-
sible by Architect Fennell. After
considering the possibilities afforded
by the spacious grounds, 1t was the
consensus of opinion Of the board
that separate structure to the rear
and to one side OF the main edifice
and connected in some manner would
be even more desirable"

BURTON Il. FRENCH IN THE
CANAL ZONE.
Studies Conditions Along the Big
Ditch That Cuts The Two
Americas.

Burton L. French and wife have
just returned from a trip to Panama
where they wen, for pleasure and to
study conditions developing there.
Mr.. French has represented Idaho
for three terms in the national cap
ital and is now a private citizen again
by reason OF slip in convention.
During the campaign he went out and
helped to elect the man who was to
take his place, and won the admira-
ton Of the people Of the state by
working as Loyalty as Col. Hamer had
done under similar conditions two
years before
Mr.. and Mrs. French are both close
students and the tour to the canal
zone was full of interest to them. It
was more to them because Of their
connection with public service for the
past few years and it is reassuring to
see young man who aspires to gov
ernment service educating himself In
practical knowledge Of Its affairs.

Took down to her bed March 29th,
and died April 18th, at 1880 o'clock.
Bright's disease with complications of
heart was her trouble and she had
been treating for asthma and other
minor ailments, not realizing the aw-
full grip this disease had on her. We
hoped for while that she might
get up and around again but, of
course, knew her disease was incur
able to ever rally.
She was rational up to the very
last moment and realized that her
days were numbered.
We buried her here in Kalamazoo
in Mountain Home cemetery.
Have been here on the farm for
over two weeks but must soon return
home to Grand Rapids as my little
family needs me.
It will be months before ! will
realize that my poor old mother is
