BI4ACKFOOT CURRENT EVENT

The affairs of this club for the year
are Mrs. Neil Boyle, president; Mrs.
J. B. Davis, secretary; Mrs. Christy,
treasurer Mrs. Hansborough, leader
of history, and Mrs. Tom Johnson,
leader of Kensington and household
economics. The first meeting of the
last department was held Monday
afternoon at the home of the leader
While the attendance was small ow-
ing to a bridge party the same
hour, the session was one of the most
pleasant and profitable in the his
tory of the club Interior decora-
tion was studied and discussed at
length, after which some special
thought was given window draperies,
with simplicity as the key note. Mrs.
Mitchell gave some excellent thoughts
on the restfulness of certain colors
and combinations to certain natures,
making a telling point of physic-
ian's experience with sick woman

was taken advantage of, She had liv-

color, gilt trimmings and bric-a-brac.
when removed to room with quiet
restful tones and good lines in furni-
ture, relief was experienced in a
few days Another thought advanced
was, that while we may not be able
to reach our ideals for financial or
other reasons, 1t Is proper to create
them that we may have something
to build to, that we must make be-

PROTECT SHEEP FROM COYOTES
Automatic Shotgun it is Claimed Will
Save Sheepmen Many Sleepless
Nights ~~-S

The Utah Coyote Automatic shot
gun was recently on exhibition in the
office of the Overland hotel, says the
Reno Gazette. Its name is fairly in
dicative of it's nature, although it's
function is merely to brighten, not to
kill, the pestiferous varmints that
cause the sheepmen many sleepless
night.
The '.gun" which is exhibited by
P. j O'Carrol Of the Salt Lake Hard
ware company, looks more like an
old fashioned lantern than it does
like it's own name. But it fires a 12-
gauge shotgun SHE'LL blank, every
hour for IL hours, the shells being
fired one after the other by clock
work mechanism.
The idea of the gun, as worked
out by its practical use among the
sheepmen of Utah and Idaho, is to
hang up, say, four of them on the
four sides of a Landing camp and set
them 1 5 minutes apart. Then the
herder drops off peacefully to sleep
and the camp becomes the center of a
circle Of large, automatic noises for
the rest of the night--the shots fol-
lowing one antoher in rotation
around the circle. The large, black
powder shells make brilliant flash
in the darkness; and anyone familiar
with the ways of the "outcast of the
range" will know that he will avoid
demonstrations of that sort religious

HARRIMAN'S BURIAL SIMPLE
Estates Value Estimated at $50, OOO,.
900 to $1OO,OOO,OOO

The remains of E. III. Hartman,
late president of the Southern Pacific
railroad, who died on the 9th inst,
from cancer of the stomach, were laid
to rest at Arden near his home, last
Sunday afternoon. The funeral cere-
monies were very simple and attend
ed by only relatives and immediate
family friends and closest business
associates. The multi-millionaire' s
body was laid to rest in grave
blasted out of the solid rock of hill
side.
Not until after death did the world
learn that Mr. Harriman's fatal all
ment' was cancer. Estimates of the
estate he left vary form $4,000, 600 to
$100,000,000
For one minute last Sunday, mark
ing the time when the funeral start
ed, all business of the railroads over
which he had presided was stepped.
Every railroad depot of the western
systems he directed were draped in
mourning from the day of his death
until the funeral. MN
Direction of the railroads of which
deceased was president falls upon
First Vice President r. S. Lovett, un-
til new president shall have been
chosen.
Contrary to expectations, Wall
Street was little affected last Friday,
the day following announcement of
Mr. Harrimans death. Instead OF
dropping, as many people had sup
posed they would, quotations of all
shares of companies with which the
deceased had been connected, adj

MONEY IN DAIRYING

There is money in dairying in Ida
no. There is money in it whether
the farmer sells the products himself
or whether he deals directly with the
creameries. One evidence is the an
nouncement that a train load of but
ter had been ordered by western
creamery for this territory. 1t is
coming from middle western state
and a good dea lof it will be con-
sumed in Boise, where local butter is
now selling for 40 cents a pound 1t
was only 80 when the pure food COM
missioner got busy. Then the price
went to 35, coincident with 15-
ounce package. More recently the
price went ups cents more an al
legged pound And tehre is no reason
why it should not keep on going up.

To how much of our respect is a
