AMONG OUR B0WLERS.
Bowling Season Has Opened in This
City With Some Good Scores
to Start From.

The Auditorium bowling alley has
opened for the winyer season and the
lovers of this sport are working out
their arms and training their eye for a
contest which will likely be pulled off
IN the near future. The highest scores
so far are ranging between 100 and It's.
which are not what they will be when
little more practice puts the eye and
arm in usual shape.
Ten pins is the usual game with the
alley goers and among those this week
to get interested were H. R. Struthers,
who set them pace of 173. OF course
he tells us of higher scores which he
has made and goes so far as to say he
can make them again. Call Logan
has been spending little of his time
IN the alley, and while he does not say
much, one can see that he is not going
to let the high score be taken by any

WOOLEN MILL PROGRESSES.
Men In Charge of Company Organiza-
ton Report That They are Meet
ing With Great Success.

A. w. R. Berr and j. r. Clark, who
who have spent the past week or ten
days in the country south of this city,
in the interest of the American Falls
Woolen Mills Co., report that they
meet with encouragement wherever
they talk wooden mills. The trip south
took in the country surrounding Rock
laid, Arbon, Landing, Malta, Albion
and several other of the towns in that
section.
Mr.. Berr, the man at the head of the
enterprise, who came from Eureka,
Calf, and has had many years expert
ence in this line of business, says that
he is we'll pleased with the outlook for
the mills at American Falls. Of course
it is proposition which will not inter-
est everyone, but the success he has
met with assures the construction of
such plant here. He will make an
other trip into the country and visit
Pocatello and Blackfoot, and take in
the Boise fair, at which places he will
talk woolen mills. He told your re-
porter that he expected to have suffi-
cient amount subscribed this month to
call meeting of such stockholders and
organize and incorporate.
The company, it is planned, will in
corporate for $3.50, 900, but $50, 900 is all
they expect to raise before incorpora-
ton. When this amount is subscribed
Mr.. Berr will go east and interest some
of his eastern friends and thus raise
sufficient money to launch one of the
greatest enterprises in the state of
Idaho.

HARNESS FACTORY
BEING ERECTED
Expects to Be in Operation
in Sixty Days.
Building One Hundred Eighty-Six Feet
Long is Now Being Constructed
For Tannery and Harness
Manufactury.

The first dirt thrown for the erection
of the American Falls Harness and
Tannery company building probably
means as much for American Falls and
southern Idaho as the first dirt thrown
for the Panama canal did for the United
States and the world. 1t is not only
the harness factory which is to come of
this "dirt throwning" but it has opened
up the manufacturing district of Amer
lean Falls.
Had this paper, three years ago,
said that in 1909 American Falls would
have tannery and harness factory, a
wooden mills and some other enterprises
along this line, the readers would have
thought us a fit subject for Blackfoot
But they are practically here, and we
now have more right to say that this IS
not all for the next three years. How
natural for boot and shoe factory to
follow in the wake of the tannery and
a factory manufacturing novelties from
leather such as belts, pocketbooks,
gloves, mittens and hundred and one
such articles. Have we not the right
to say that within the next three years
the people of this section will be wear
ing American Falls made clothes and
shoes, carrying an American Falls made
pocketbook full of American Falls made
money?
The building which was started this
week will be 1876 feet long, constructed
of concrete and lumber. That part
which will be used as the factory and
finishing room, will 80x36, two stories,
and that containing the watts will be
1O6x26. This room will contain twenty
eight vats built in step fashion so that
fluid will run from the upper watts into
the lower ones. Manager Hughes says
the building spot is perfectly fitted for
a building of this character as the
natural slope is right for the construc-
tion of the vats and little excavating is
necessary.
In the neighborhood of $1,000 worth
of machinery will be installed as soon
as the building is ready and within
sixty days, Mr.. Hughes says, the fac
tory will be doing business and will
employ thirty people from the start
which means at least twenty new fami-
lies for American Falls.

BAND BENEFIT DANCE
American Falls Band Boys 10 Give
a Dance on Friday Evening
October Is.

In order to raise funds to meet the
necessary expenses connected with the
maintaining of band in this city, the
local band boys have made arrange
ments to give dance in the auditorium
next Friday evening, October 10, and
promise the biggest time of the year.
This is a cause which is deserving
and we feel that our citizens will ap-
preciate the efforts put forth by our
boys and assist them by buying ticket.
The Press has been informed that the
boys will not insist upon each one buy
ing a ticket attending the dance, which
will make the matter easy for some
who are not in the habit of dancing.
AT any rate we feel that the people
of American Falls will turn out in num-
bers to this event, at leat with their
cash.

Popular Young People Married.

G. E. Widsteen and Miss Erma Ben
nion, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilford
Bennion, were married at Salt Lake
Wednesday, The young people slipped
quietly away and were married before
many of their friends were aware of it..
Mr.. Widsteen is the jeweler of Ameri-
can Falls, and has been here for about
two years. Miss Bennion has lived in
this vicinity since childhood and is
deservedly very popular. Mr.. and Mrs.
Widsteen returned home yesterday
morning and are being warmly congrat-
ulated. Mr.. Widsteen's store was
appropriately decorated by friends DUR
ing his absence and was the cause of
much amusement.

Commercial Club Meeting.

Tuesday evening of this week the
regular business meeting of the Com
mercial club was held in the club rooms
with an attendance of thirty-three
members. Many matters of Importance
were discussed and several names pre-
sented for membership. o. H. Barber
and R. L. Tucker where elected as del
egates to the Southern Idaho League
meeting at Pocatello and instructed to
extend an invition to the league to meet
in American Falls next year. 1t is ex-
pected that this club will have large
representation at the Pocatello meet
ing. 1t was also decided to send
number of exhibits to the Dry Farm
congress at Billings, Mont, this month.
The next regular business meeting of
the club will be the 18th inst.

ing to $54.00, box of assorted fruit,
suit of clothes, 500 pounds of flour, $40
skirt, sack of sugar, box of cigars and
pair of shoes. OF this Homer Pease
again this year made a sweep and
carried home with him $2l.00, suit of
clothes, 500 pounds of flour, box of
cigars and a pair of shoes. Several
other Rockland people received good
share !of premiums, among those are
c. A.Warner and John Eliason.
Aberdeen country made an excellent
showing considering the fact that their
section is practically new country.
The older sections can not come up to
them when it comes to raising potatoes.
They took nearly everything offered
for potatoes and also took many other
premiums.
The Neeley section came in well for
premiums considering the number of
exhibits offered.

amateure. Superintendent Thompson,
too, shows up at the alley once in a
while, pulls off his coat rolls up his
sleeves and the way he sends the ball
down the boards and scatters the pins
makes the pin settlers hunt shelter.
We predict that he will stay with the
high men through the season.
Cinque is another favorite sport at
the alley and we find on the board the
names of Earl Bailey and Clarence Faa
as high score makers. Paul Evans
and David Stevenson are in the lead
when it comes to the game of fve-back.
1t is interesting to watch the different
players battle with the pins in the var
ious games which can not be called
alone passtime. There is perhaps no
other game which has the same muscle
building qualities as this and when not
carried to excess can not be equalled
from point of training.

MRS. ROBINSON SECOND.
Makes Largest Gain in the Good Luck
Range Contest and is Now in
Second Place.

Mrs. Clint Robinson, of Rockland,
made the largest gain this week in the
Good Luck Range contest, gaining the
sum of 4480 votes which now places her
in second place over Miss Warner, who
held that position for some time past.
Miss Warner made small gain this
week and while she is now third place
she is only 1920 below second. We look
for her to make big gain again this
week and would not be much surprised
to have to place her at the head of the
list by next issue.
Mrs. Mattson still heads the list but
with smaller margin that at first.
This week she made gain of 1920 and
holds first by the small margin of 24S0.
Her supporters will have to keep busy
all the time if they intend to defeat
the Rockland contestants.
The contest will close at II o'clock
noon, Friday, October 29, which leaves
less than three weeks and as the close
draws near the contest will increase
with interest and everybody will get
busy. There is no telling at present
where this range will go as the con-
testants are now running so close that
it only depends upon the effort put
forth by those interested.

A Second Visit.

w. M. Lowman, a banker and real
estate man of Hastings, Neb., arrived
in this city Saturday. He is guest of
the Fugate boys of Aberdeen and this
is his second trip to American Falls
from his Nebraska home. His first
trip was a hastily one but he was
impressed with the community, and he
makes this trip to give it thorough
Investigation. He is already inquiring
for main street property so we feel
that he has the spirit of future for
our town the same as the rest of US.

Visitors From Kansas.

Tuesday morning twelve people ar
rived here from Kansas to spend day
in American Falls to see if what was
said of this place and its vicinity was
true. The party consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. B. Unruh, Mr.. and Mrs. P. H.
Dirks, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. P. Dirks, Mr..
and Mrs. H. j. Schultz, H. D. Unruh,
Harry A. Unruh and Peter Schultz,
were on their way to the Seattle fair
and only gave us a visit of one day as
they were anxious to get to Seattle
before the fair closed and will no doubt
make more of an extended visit upon
their return.

ROCKLAND FARES WELL.
Rockland Farmers Receive a Large
Portion of Premiums Offered
Farmers Day.

Of the total premiums offered Farm
ers Day the Rockland farmers carried
away a large percentage. There is
nothing strange about this for they
Justly should. The farming community
has been established for many years
and they have that advantage of har-
vesting their grain from cultivated
fields of many years standing and pick
ing fruit from old orchards. This year
they did not carry away as large per-
centage of premiums as last year which
shows that other Localities are rapidly
coming to the front with cultivation.
But Rockland received the long end

Light Earthquake Shock Felt.

Residents near what is known as
the lgo switch north of American Falls
report that at $50 Tuesday two slight
earthquake shocks were felt at their
homes. The second was severe enough
to shake the dishes and cause the lamps
to swing which hang from the ceiling.
OF course there was no damage done as
the shocks were so slight and only suf-
ficient to cause a little alarm where it
was felt.

CANAL COMPANY MEETING.
Steps Taken to Incorporate the Ameri-
can Falls Canal Association at
Regular Meeting.
(From Special Correspondent

lfrom Special correspondent
Aberdeen, Oct. Saturday after
noon, Oct. 2, at Aberdeen, the Ameri-
can Falls Canal association held it's
annual meeting presided over by Presi-
dent c. w. Brown. Secretary A. j.
Snyder read to the members Attorney
Barber's opinion of the results of the
recent issue with the American Falls
Canal and Power company. After much
careful deliberation by the various
members, resolution, introduced by
j. N. Searles, was passed, instructing
the governing board to ascertain what
steps were necessary to incorporate the
association, and, if feasible, to take
those steps. Another resolution was
introduced by Mr.. Searles and passed,
changing the time of the annual meet
ing from the first Saturday in October
to the first Saturday in December, as
October was one of the farmers busiest
months. To recompense the secretary
for time and trouble in performing the
various duties of the office, salary of
$50 was decided upon for the ensuing
year. The governing board of last
year was reelected and from them will
be chosen the officers.

Mr.. and Mrs. Mozart, of Ohio, en-
route to the Seattle exposition, came
out Sunday night to visit their old
friend, Rev. j. B. Baer.
John R. Foulks, who has been an al
most constant attendant at the bedside
of Mrs. Foulk's mother at Salt Lake,
was here for few hours Tuesday.
On their way home from the Seattle
fair, Mr.. and Mrs. Schmidt, of Kansas,

The Aberdeed-American Falls Deep
Well Drilling company has been kept
busy putting in wells for the town
people. They have yet large number
to drill.
The Aberdeen Townsite and Invest
ment company's office is now open for
business, Miss Nora Jones having been
transferred from the Blackfoot office to
the company's office at Aberdeen.
Main street is to have five blocks of
cement sidewalks in the very near
future. David Turner is now hauling
the gravel from the river bottoms, and
the work on the walks will be pushed.
A meeting of the school board was
held last Saturday night at Aberdeen,
at which the teachers contracts were
signed. The following Monday three
of the schools of the district opened
with large attendance. The Aberdeen
school has ninety pupils, four beginning
high school work. Mrs. Jackson is in
structing the primary grades and E.
w. Harold the advanced grades and
the high school. Miss Mary Becker, of
the Central school, has twenty-five
pupils and Miss Margaret Giesbrecht,
of the Homestead school, began with
twenty pupils. All of these, however,
will be materially increased.
By the recent agricultural exhibition
at American Falls, the contentious of
the Aberdeen boosters have been proven
to be not only true but far below the
real facts. Aberdeen's fruit trees are
not yet old enough to bear; but with its
potatoes, vegetables and grains carry
ing off first honors against the prod
ucts of older irrigated communities and
better advertised localities, its people
are justified in placing it first among
the irrigated districts of the vicinity of
American Falls. Its soil and water are
unexcelled and its people are class of
farmers who are not satisfied with
second place. The goal on which their
eyes are fixed is the leadership in
potato production. That this goal
will be reached admits of little doubt,
and the time of its accom- olishment is
not far distant.

CAN'T FIND the REL
ATlvES OF DEAD

In the morgue at the Thompson
and Fisher undertaking rooms, on
lower Bennett avenue. Cripple Greek i.
there lies the bodies two men. of
whom, despite every effort to do so.
the undertakers have been upable to
find any relatives.
There is a coincident in the death
of the two men. Both were taken to
a district hospital several weeks ago.
and both died on the same day. early
last Sunday morning. And ncw
their bodies lie in the same morgue.
One of the men is named Richard
Feeney. He was 65 years old, al old
SOLDIER, being member during the
Civil war of the Ninth Pennsylvania
volunteer cavalry. Although Feeney
had lived in or near the district for
many years prior to his death, and
has many friends there, none OF these
seem to know where any of his rela
tiyes are.
Before coming here he lived in Pu-
eblo. and efforts have been made there
to learn something of his family, but
without success.
The other body is that of Albert
Stewart Stewart was barber and
lived at Fifth and Bennett avenues,
Thus far the authorities have been
unable to learn anything regarding
his family. or his former home before
coming to Cripple Greek. The bodies
will be held at the undertaking rooms
for several days, pending the result
