that he dragged his donkey more than

miles have been on foot. Testimony
OF his researches are found In most OF
the famous museums in this country
and in museums Of Canada and Eng

Among American pathnnders 1t is
said that this explorer has devoted
more severe labor to the accomplish.
ment of his many expeditions than any
other ten men OF this country. His
donations to museums have included
many valuable relics and much data
pertaining to the Indian tribes and
prehistoric Americans.
Captain Chittenden has visited prac-
tically every Indian tribe on the con.
tinent and has lived with some of the
distinguished old chiefs as long as six
months, or year. He has conse-
quently become versed In several In
dian languages. 1t Is an interesting
fact that, save on one or two occa.

provided with free transportation to

left the stage in the interior and pro-
ceeded 800 miles alone on foot among
the various Indian tribes inhabiting
that portion of British Columbia. Two
years later. in the dead of winter. with
the thermometer reaching Is degrees
below zero and the snow In places Is
feet deep, he walked alone over the
mountains into the gold fields of Occur

Root range into Montana distance

JUDGE COWAN SAYS

F. ]. Cowan was down from Sal.
mon City Wednesday, and says the
decree of the waters of Snake rive,
Is now filed with the court, and un-
less error can be shown it will be
made permanent as it now stands.
He says rumor is current at Sal
mon City that thirty cases of illegal
selling of liquor were on the docket
at the last term of the district court
at Blackfoot, and that they were all
continued for the term without any
proper reason being assigned.
As matter of fact there were
none, though about dozen cases
have come up since court adjourned,
and each of the fellows has decided
to waive the preliminary and bind
himself to answer at the fall term.

COLLINS FAMILY IN TROUBLE

The family of j. c. Collins at Reno
Nevada, are in trouble. Mrs. Collins
is confined to her bed with inflam-
atory rheumatism, and their son
Wayne who is about twelve or four
teen years old, had an accident with
a new gun few days ago by which
he lost his right eye. 1t seems there
was a premature explosion of a cart
ridge and it injured him about the
ace though he did not know that it
injured the eye to the extent it did.
The fluid Oozed out of the eye ball
while he was being taken home, and
the physician dressed and bandaged
it and at last accounts they had not
found courage to tell him the full ex-
tent of his loss.
Mother and son are occupying the
same bed in their Affections and each
Is heroically bracing up for the 9TH

Congressman T. r. Hamer was a
business visitor in the city yesterday.
Following the congressional session
he took brief rest and since that
time has been over the state to some
extent and states that the political
outlook is entirely satisfactory and
he feels contented with conditions.
Colonel Hamer has proved vigorous
character in congress and has accom-
plished splendid results. Locally We
know it by the pledge he made before
the club of commerce that he would
exercise his best efforts to secure for
this city federal building. The rest
is matter of action of the last ses-
sion. The appropriation for both site
and building were secured. Conse-
quently he feels to great measure
OF friendship of our people, and as a
matter. of right loyalty to common in

made good and will make good on
future appropriations4when all condi-

satisfied. He is candidate for re-

DEATH OF MRS. LESTER SILL

Mrs. Lester Sill who has been IL
for some months died at her home
at Nampa last Sunday. She had had
surgical operation performed and
1t seemed that a very serious blunder
was made by the surgeon which re-
suited in months of suffering and
death after all,
The remains We're taken to the par
atal home at Lake Pipin, Wiscon-
sin, and the daughter Helen expects
to remain there.
This breaks up Mr.. Sill's home and
after ten days leave of absence he
will go back to Nampa to take up
his work in the express office. It has
zen suggested that he might get q
transfer to Blackfoot so he could be
among his old friends, and live at
the old home with his mother, but
othing has been done yet looking to
such an arrangement.
Mrs. Sill will be remembered by
ny friends here and at Mackay
where they have lived in recent years.
When she was well and strong she
used to help Mr.. Sill with his office
work, and was always so prompt and
cheerful in all her work that patrons
missed her when they left.

Music FESTIVAL FOR A WEEK
Continued from page u

year there were Is special trains
from points within a radius of 200
miles and the festival was the great
esct success of any yet held both from
a financial and artistic point"
This little town of the same size
as Blackfoot has probably found that
a great music festival is paying in
vestment, from financial view point
as they have kept 1t up and supported
1t for rs years, in that length of
time presenting the Messiah 6S times.
We see that 10000 people attend
the weeks festival and it is probable
that they Will each spend at least
$500 which makes a total of expen-
diture in the town of $4,000. The
approximate expenses of the festival
are about $4,000 which leaves a
margin of $4,000 which is a direct
gain for the community.
Any one of the three towns mem
toned in the earlier part of this ar
ticle, could have such festival. but
the undertaking would be too much
OF a task for immediate execution.
therefore let all of them unite and
instead of having a continuous week
OF music at any of the towns mem
toned let us have two days in each
town. Having chorus at each point
all under the same director, learning
the same choral works and uniting in
each town for the benefit of all.
Let the COMMERCIAL clubs of each
town take up the business end of the
and see that it is car
ried forward.
The secretary of the commercial
clubs at Pocatello, Idaho Falls will
be able to get fuller details of the
scope and plan of this movement, by
addressing Mr.. E. G. Rowdon at
Blackfoot and are requested to ask
for any further information which
he will be glad to furnish.
