way of exciting interest is to have
lantern slides made of the most beau
tiful and of the most unsightly places
in the neighborhood, and then to give
frequent stereopticon exhibitions in
the public school buildins or the town
hall. A screen can also be placed on
the wall of some building in the most
frequented part of the town, and on
Saturday evening, when the streets
are thronged, pictures can be cast up
on the screen, showing the contrast
between untidy yards, with their
weeds, rubbish, and heat, well-shaped
streets with trim lawns and vine-cov-
cred porches. Suitable Slides can be
bought or rented from the Institute
for Social Service, Twenty second St.,

THE v. I. S. OF BLACKFoOT.

This society has been somewhat
at standstill with certain work,
while the town was in process of be-
coming city. This is all over now
and we are working jointly with the
city council in cemetery work, hav-
ing streets graded, water facilities
adjusted and other preparatory con-
struction work which must be done
before any real artistic identifying
can be gotten under way. The
society has over $500 on hand, the
greater portion of which will be
used for this purpose.
AT the last meeting they unani-
mously voted to appropriate $50, or
to purchase a flag for Governor
Brady to raise at the Diamond
Jubilee celebration to be held here
July third and fourth. After the
ceremony, the flag will be presented
to the city Of Blackfoot. The city
has undergone a pretty thorough
cleaning this spring. improvements
to property are seen over the town

Several members of the Cemetery
Committee spent day in Idaho Falls
recently taking notes on cemetery
work accomplished by the v. /. S. of
that town. They were very much
pleased with their visit bringing back
with them pretty little picture of
an artistic bridge erected over the
large canal that runs through the
grounds. The society meets with
few discouragements, practically
everything it enters into with any de-
gree of determination and perser-
verence, moves along easily. Its
membership has steadily increased.

IDAHO FALLS v. i. s.
At the regular May meeting it was
decided that we have cemetery
clean up day." the move resulting
from suggestions made by the Black
foot ladies who visited us recently
and whose visit we greatly enjoyed.
The day has not been set yet but
it will be soon. A free lunch will
be served to those helping in the
work.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the city council and to make
arrangements for the annual clean
up day for the city.
The usual money-$1O-was voted
to be used for prizes to encourage
the children in making and caring
for flower beds and lawns.
The interest among the children
has been greatly stimulated through
the ordering Of penny packages OF
flower and garden seeds by the pub
lie schools from the Flower Mission,
Cleveland, Ohio. The children pay
for the seeds and do their own plant
ing and tending. This year they or
dered nearly 5000 packages. These
are sold at or below cost.
Mrs. G. e. Bowerman of St. An
thony was very welcome guest at
our meeting.
EousDFris1f CLUB.
The Round Table club met Mon
day afternoon with Mrs. Crow, a
representative number being present.
After response of current topics to
roll call the business of the after
noon was undertaken.
The program for the coming year
was thoroughly discussed and the
Great Northwest was the subject
chosen finally. This promises to be
an especially interesting year on &C
count of the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific
exposition, which will occupy prom
inent part on the program, under
the state OF Washington, Oregon,
Montana, Wyoming, Alaska and last
but not least our own state of Idaho
will be carefully studied, first, its
literature, then from a standpoint
commercially, industrially and geo.
graphically. The last meeting on
this program will be the Northwest
in Art, this meeting together with
two specially arranged social events
conclude an arrangement Of program
that will be thoroughly enjoyed by
all the members.
Further discussion on other bust
ness topics was pleasantly Interrupt
ted by the hostess, serving chocolate
and waters which proved an appetite
ing advertisement to the business of
the afternoon.
The club adjourned to meet the
first Monday in June with Mrs. Ed
munds, who will entertain us with
an account of the trip taken recently
by herself and husband.

no need of it, you will be just as OBJ
stinate and mean as the ash cart
mule in the alley and you will never
go any way but backward Honest
criticism over the beautiful work of
ones heart is not pleasant, in fact,
1t is pathetic in sense, but it is so
helpful that person should be
willing to abide by it. If we were
never criticised about the singing,
painting, writing or other talents in
which we hope to succeed, then there
would always be sameness about
everything, but, once the spur is felt,
it means making change, and, what
is more, usually for the better.
THE CENTURY CLUB DISCUSSES
FORESTRY.
Excellent Program at the Monday
Meeting.
At the meeting of the Century
Club held Monday pleasing as well
as instructive afternoon was enjoyed.
The day was Forestry Day" and was
in charge of Mrs. Cottingham, to
whom great credit is due for the ex-
cellent program furnished. Mrs.
Kurtz was first on the program; she
spoke briefly but her remarks were
indeed interesting, regarding the
subject of the day. Prof. Henry Van
Slooten was next on the program; his
paper on the preservation of our for
ests and how other countries had
guarded their forests was indeed an
interesting article, and provided
those fortunate enough to be pres
ent with much to, think Of. He made
suggestion, which If carried out,
would make noticeable difference

played piano solo and charmed his
audience Mrs. Nettleton gave some
interesting facts in regard to the for
est reserves. This closed the pro-
gram of an interesting afternoon on a
subject of such vital interest to our
country. A motion was made and
carried, that the club extend to Prof
Van Slooten and Mr.. Moffat vote of
thanks for the pleasure they had con-
ferred on the club. The club had as
a guest, Mrs. G.. P. Thompson, now
of Ogden. Mrs. Thompson resided
in Nampa 81 years ago. Mr.. Thomp-
son was the first railroad agent here.
On May tenth the club will hold it's
next meeting. At this meeting the
annual election of officers occurs.
A full attendance is hoped for.

THE CRITIC.

Did you ever stop to consider how
important is the critic? If it were
not for this person of opinions, then
everyone would jog along in the
same rut from year to year, make
the same faults eternally and never
get ahead. True criticism is the peach
stick that makes the youngster sit
up and behave, the lash that makes
the older man shrug his shoulders
and tug harder at his burden, and
yet we all have a wholesome con-
tempt for the gilt-edged criticism
until, like the bad dose of medicine,
it has telling effects and we are
really recovering from bad malady.
When you get real earnest and want
to know more and more and more,
You will take the medicine and lick

GREAT SAVING MADE
BY THIS OPERATION
Tspecial to The sentinel. !

Ogden. Utah, June 29-The i'm
pregnation of wood with a chemical
substance for the purpose of prevent
ing decay is not only successful the
oretically, but it has also been prov
en- by practice that such treatment
more than doubles the life OF timber
and thereby renders the proposition
most practically profitable.
Although the advent of wood pres
ervation into commercial practice is
of recent date in the United States,
in European countries the chemical
treatment of wood has been in gem
eral practice for more than quarter
of a century, and with most satisfac-
tory results. So successful has it
proven that the installation of un-
treated wood in any construction that
will bring it into contact with the
soil is the exception rather than the
rule.
The use of preservative processes in
the United States has been confined
largely to the southern and eastern
portion, partly due to more rapid
decay of timber on account of climat-
ic conditions, partly to the fact that
in the older settled portions of the
United States the diminution of the
timber supply is more keenly felt,
making urgent the adoption of some
means to lessen the demand.
With the exception of the trans
continental railway systems the pre-

not shaken. He successfully main
tanned that he had simply bought the
liquor for Shultz and had not made
the sale TO Shultz himself
Shultz had admitted that he asked
Powell to get the liquor for him.
On cross examination Powell stat
ed to Attorney Logan that the mys-
terious cache where he bought the
liquor for Shultz is located; back of
the Pacific saloon, near high board
fence, on Pitkin avenue. He de-
clared that he had been there several
times and deposited money and then
went away to return later but he had
failed TO get liquor only ON this oc-
casion when he got il for Shultz. The
charm didn't work every time. He
had been told of the cache" but he
did not tell who told him about il.
No other witnesses was introduced
for the defense.
The defense questioned whether
Ward No. 4 wherein the barn was
located, had gone dry" at the recent
election and it was as result of this
contention that City Clerk VorbeclS
was called to the stand. BY his
records the court held that ward
four is dry territory.
In this contention is involved the
important problem now before the
state supreme court rs TO whether II
precinct or city is II voting unit in
local option elections.
All the evidence being in the
struggle over the nature of the in
structions to the jury began. Here
a most important point was raised
as expected. The attorneys for the
defense asked that the court give the
jury the same instruction given in
the gambling case Saturday, that if
it was evident that a paid agent OF
the prosecution had cnticed the de
fendant into violating the law then
the defendant should be acquitted.
This ruling has been upheld by the
state supreme court.
Attorney Fry, for the defense, made
a very forceful and earnest argument
quoting the law and citing rulings
and authorities. in support of this

He let Shultz have tins. Said Shultz
stated to him that he was feeling
badly and was very anxious to get
some whiskey and. wanted to know
If Powell could get some for him.
Powell said that he told Shultz he
would try. Said he did try that day
but could get none. Late in the day
Shultz came to see If he had gotten
the liquor. Next morning. June IA,
Shultz was around again after Powell
to try again to get him some whiskey.
Powell said that he told him he
would and took IA dollar from Shultz
and then went to n place where he
had heard that liquor was in cache"
that he laid the dollar down in GER
tam place and went away and when
he returned in about % minutes he
found the pint bottle supposedly full
of whiskey setting where the dollar
had been.
Powell said he took the bottle,
went back to the barn and later when
Shultz called let Shultz have it. He
said that he had no other liquor
about the barn. that he made no
profit on the liquor but that he
thought ne was accommodating a
friend when he got the liquor for
Shultz.
Powell declared that he had never
made a practice of selling liquor. He
said that he got the liquor for Shultz
only because he thought he was a
friend and because he thought Shultz
needed it.

servatiVe treatment of wood is sell
dom made use of in the intermoun-
tain region. However, as the country
becomes older and more settled in
dustrially. the users of timber Will
feel more free to make the additional
investment necessary.
The preservation of timber in use
in contact with the soil is question
of intense interest to the man who
looks at the economical side. The
fact that a railroad tie. costs 60 cents
untreated and has a life of from 5
to 7 years, can by treating, be made
to last from l ) to 30 years at an ad-
ditional cost of from 40 to so cents
with the added saving of the cost of
replacing the decayed tie, raises the
proposition from one of theory to one
where dollars and cents count. This
saving is as applicable to posts, poles
and mine timbers as to ties If the
amount of timber now used for these
purposes each year in the intermoun-
tain region could be diminished by
one-half by doubling its life by the
use of preservatives, the total saving
in money outlay alone would be
enormous.
1t is for the purpose of bringing
the possibilities of timber treatment
to the attention of those using timber
that the office of products in the local
district Office of the forest service at
Ogden is maintained. If by demon
stration the amount of timber used
can be decreased by increasing its
life il is felt that as much service has
been rendered as to grow new forests.

instruction He declared that the
fact that Shultz had enticed Powell
into getting the liquor for him was
clearly established and Powell's testi-
mony to this effect was undisputed.
Therefore. urged Attorney Fry. the
jury should be instructed to return
verdict of not guilty as Shultz, n
ployed by the prosecution, had en-
ticed Powell into getting the liquor
for him. Attorney fry presented an
extended array of arguments and
authorities.
Attorney Logan. for the prosecu-
ton, objected strenuously to the in
struction, holding that it should not
be given for many reasons. He too
made a strong argument and pre-
seutation of his side of the question.
Nearly an hour was consumed in
arguments and consultations over the
instructions. The admission of the
bottle of whiskey as evidence was
again brought up and a number of
other questions were raised. AT the
time The Sentinel went to press it
looked as if the jury would be in
structed to acquit the defendant If it
was found that Shultz had inticed
him into violating the law.
The arguments will probably be
made early in the evening.
