We are glad to observe that the
people of Blackfoot have not been fed
very heavily upon the diet of distrust
and difference. Cliques there may
be, and knockers we have few, and
when anything of public interest is
being considered, some sharp lances
are hurled, but after the vote is taken
and opinions have been weighed up.
some disappointed fellow can get up
and move to make it unanimous and
it goes. And a gratifying thing about
it is that the whole bunch with an oc-
casional exception, will go out and
fight to sustain the plans they did
their best to defeat before adoption.
That is the kind of difference and the
kind of loyalty that builds best, and
it requires little daily sacrifice on
the part of the individual to Guilt
vate it, little of the spirit of tolera-
ton such as Robinson Cruso had to
exercise when he took Friday in as a
friend and neighborN on the island.
The only time he had things absolute
ly his own way was while he was all
alone, yet those of us who are voted
down all the time enjoy thousand
more good things than Cruso bad at
his holidays and celebrations.

w. T. HAWKEY SELLS OUT

w. T. Hawkey the fruit inspector
for this district, sold his sixty acre
farm three miles north of town for
$S,000.00, and purchased quarter
section of w. F. Porter at Porterville
which he will improve after the man
ner of one who has faith in our
fruit industry.
Mr.. Hawkey had in a few years
converted piece of unpromising
sage land into a fine orchard and
farm, and in selling it he turned over
to his successor piece of property at
it's best both for home and as a
producer. Mr.. Hawkey will probably
put out large amout of orchard on
the place he has just purchased.
J. c. Millick is the purchaser of
the Hawkey farm and it speaks we'll
for the country that gentleman who
has lived here long time and who
has city, country and mining property
invests large sum in fruit farm.
Mr.. Millick is one who invests for
profits, and is acknowledged to be a
good Judge of futures, so people who
are doubling whether land values and
orchard property are good invest
ments, may take cue from this
transaction wherein successful people
back up their judgment with the
coin.

THE NEXT GOVERNOR

We are to have Governor Brady
with us today and this evening, and
on this occasion at least citizens OF
all political parties can and should
meet him freely and cordially. He Is
our chief executive and is our guest.
People who like him will want to
meet him on that account and those
who feel Indifferent toward him
should take this opportunity to learn
more about him by meeting him, for
he is candidate for reelection this
year, and people must know the
candidates in order to make an in
telligent choice.
Two years ago we opposed his NOM
ination and stated that If he made a
good governor we would be glad to
acknowledge it before the end of his
term. We have been saying for sew
eral months that he has made good
and we can as conscienciously vote
for his nomination now as we voted
against him two years ago.
We think that by the rules of poll
tics and in fairness to him and to the
state he is entitled to a second term
Others may not agree with this
view but whether you do or not come
out and meet him socially at the Com.
mercial club this evening. He Is ou1
governor and our guest

HOW LIVES THE PRESS?

One day this week the editor of this
paper was hailed by man in the
street who seemed to have something
important to say, and on our going
out to where he sat upon his wagon,
he said, II want to put question to
YOU, to give you something to answer
in your next issue. We want you to
tell us all about the new direct pri-
mary law. Give us the whole thing
in this ISSUE"
We looked at the gentleman in as
constituent, and backed up little for
fear his gall would spill. A flood OF
memories rushed upon us as we re-
membered that the man never was
known, or at least we never heard of
his paying a newspaper subscription
bill. He is not a subscriber for our
paper although he received 1t for
some years before we learned how
impossible it was to get money out
of him. Years ago when he wanted
to run for office and was treated to
most unmerciful roasting by our con-
temporary, we took his part to the
extent of saying that it was out Of
place and unkind of any editor to give
a man such a roasting even If his
statements were true, because the
mans wife and children would be
hurt by it and he might not be great
ly benefited
1t is an unwritten law among news
paper people that the man who never
does anything to support newspaper
has little grounds on which to COM
mand it's service, and If the man in
this case had been subscriber or
hadbeen on good enough terms with
his neighbors so he could borrow it
every week, he must have observed
that we began last November, and
have occasionally re-published the
new primary law several times, and
scarcely an issue goes out now that
we do not rehash 1t in whole or in
part. We have heretofore announced
our intention of keeping the paper
full of the subject and of "dinging'
people with it until all might be ia
miliar with it's provisions. 1t is the
old story that the people who do not
take the papers and do not read, can
not be reached by the press. and no
other adequate means has been de-
vised for reaching people so easily
and SO cheaply. After we shall have
put in half year trying to teach the
new law and it's workings, some fell
low will wake up and want all the
energy of the Office put to work to tell
it over again for him.
We think it is up to our friend
who wanted Office years ago to get on
the right side of the situation by sub
scribing for both of his home papers
and letting go of the practice of bum
ing or borrowing his reading matter
and only getting it part of the time

BIG MEETING AT ABERDEEN
Settlers Will Take Over The Manage
ment of the American Falls


Last Monday there was meeting
of all the settlers along the American
Falls Canal as we'll as representatives
of the Canal company, the purpose OF
the meeting being to consider the
matter of turning the management OF
the canal over to the settlers this

Most of the settlers voted against
taking the management at this time,
and minority of the settlers and the
representatives of the canal company
bolted the meeting and organized a
company to take the management this
spring. The majority was notified OF
their intentions and late in the day
they all got together on the plans
proposed by the minority The man
agement of the water this year will
