TO RENAME BLACKFOOf

Governor Brady has issued q call
for the formation of geographical
society for Idaho the first meeting to
be held In the Senate Chamber OF the
capital at Boise next Monday
The purpose of the society Is to
gather information regarding the &C.
Ography Of the state, and to consider
the matter of giving new and more
appropriate or more acceptable names
to some places.
The name OF the Snake river is
again being attacked by the over
fastidious, and Blackfoot is some
times mentioned as replusive name.
Dead Mans Gulch, Starvation Can
yon, Skeleton Valley and others may
be changed to SYNONYMOUS terms such
as Deceasabyss, Apetiticide, and Os-
teumland. Blackfoot may be given
the name Of Atsinah, with accent on
"ah," and the seventh largest river OF
the world, the one whose valley is
now in the public eye more than any
other on account Of the millions that
have been spent In advertising It
may be given the mellow and musical
name originally springing from the
savage mind when he applied the
gesture and grunt which in our Ian
guage would be "Wiggle Waggle.''
Of course Big Hole and Little Hole
must not be disturbed for we need
them for the wind to whistle through
but there are so many willow creeks
and Birch creeks they ought to be
reduced to one each, and new names
given to the others. In doing this
there would be, a golden opportunity
to honor some OF our populist polite.

an opportunity to investigate all

Many Of the business men have ex-

the committee will probably plan to
afford them such opportunity. Such

NEWSPAPER BOYCOTTED

The Idaho Recorder, published at
Salmon City by H. E. Frost, is now
the victim of a boycott as a result
Of the local option election.
Mr.. Frost expressed his opinions
on the question through the columns
OF his paper, and did 1t In a clean,
upright and fearless manner, and to
his influence may be charged the
small majority of fifty or sixty in
favor Of the county going dry.
1t seems that the building in which
the Recorder has been published is
owned by man who was much dis
appointed at the result Of the cleo
ton, and he made his boast that he
would put the Recorder out Of BUSH
ness.
Accordingly he notified Editor Frost
to vacate the building within thirty
DAYS and stopped his advertising and
subscription and has. apparently made
a canvass to induce as many others
as he can to follow his example.
Meanwhile Mr.. Frost is rushing work
on a building, into which he can
move his plant, and If the temperance
people of Salmon do not stand by him
lin this matter they don't deserve to
ever have any newspaper unless II
lis edited by the boycotter himself and
this is what the Recorder says of him
In black and white.
ITO use plain language every man
lin Salmon knows that he has been q
leech on society ever since he has
been resident of the country. Every
brick he has used in structural work
has been at the agony Of his deluded
patrons; every ounce Of mortar used
in placing the bricks in position could
have been mixed with the tears Of
wives and children.

The value of growing live stock

hogs and 274 horses were brought to

"He never spoke right out till Amos

"What?" queried Aunt Ems visitor.
"Well, Amos worked logging along

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine

their attractiveness to the way they
