INDIAN BROKE JAIL

Austin Baker, an Indian serving a
years sentence for stealing, made a
break for his liberty while working
on the court house lawn, and was
pursued by another man under bonds,
who first called attention to the mans
disappearance. David Croney was
the pusuer, and kept in sight of him
for couple of miles along the banks
of Blackfoot river on the reservation
until Jailer Fernando Fackrell over
took them with a horse and gun.
Baker had revolver but had no
cartridges for it, and made a bluff
with the empty gun, but Croney and
Fackrell closed in on him and Fack-
rell took a shot and missed him, when
Baker dropped his gun and was easily
taken.

FOR SECRETARY OF STATE

o. v. Bailey of Caldwell has an
nounced himself candidate for .ne
nomination for secretary of state at
the hands of the Democratic voters.
Mr.. Bailey is the man who has been
so conspicuous in county politics in
his county on account of the fight he
lead against saloons and some other
alleged corruption, and in the cam
paign four years ago he made the
race for county auditor and won in
a hard fight, the dear people being
for Badley and the ring and ringsters
against him.
OF course Bailey can't win unless
he runs ahead of his ticket, for he
has another good man to go up
against in the person Of B. E. Hyatt,
thA republican candidate, but it is
y<ry gratifying to see good men try
'ug for it on both tickets. It is a
" road to election day. The pri-
"fy comes first.

NEW LAKE FOR IDAHO

, 1t seems pretty we'll settled that
t the place where the flag was first
raised in Idaho is to be converted in
to lake of sufficient size to float
ocean steamers. The dam is to be
just above American Falls at the
narrowest point between the bluffs,
and will raise the water seventy feet,
backing it nearly to Blackfoot. 1t
will convert Ft. Hall bottoms into
deep water, as well as the Tilden bot
toms, will make Danilson creek
port for Springfield townsite, and
Thorn Springs a port of entry for the
city of Pingree.
The fine pea gravel at Gold Point
can be transported by steamer to the
various cities along the lake shores
for making cement blocks and pave
ment. and If there are deposits of
good building sand or fine cement
gravel in the low butte near Rich or
IN any of the bluffs along the lake
shore, the lucky fellows who locate
them and obtain title will be able to
furnish material to help build the
cities on the artificial stone plans now
coming into use
1t Is said that it will require more
cement for the construction of this
dam than any other work yet under
taken in the history of irrigation and
more than the largest cement works
have ever furnished.
Will Encircle the Lake
Next Thursday a notable party of
capitalists will arrive from Chicago
to look over a project whose base of
operations will be at American Falls.
The party will be headed by Judge
Watson of Chicago, the millionaire
whose mining operations in Alaska
involve such vast sums There will
be fifteen men in the party and they
are to look over the situation to give
their final approval to the construc-
ton of electric lines, the first of
which will be from American Falls
via Rockland to Malad, Idaho, it be-
ing the plan to connect the isolated
seat with its empire rather

can be hauled by wagon, especial,
in view of the sandy places in tn,
road that reduce the amount a team
can handle. Great quantities O
lumber, wire and other materials
needed on the new farms down the
river can be shipped from Blackfoot
at small expense compared with the
team freight. The steamer will dc
shopping for the settlers along the
way, and by placing signals on the
shore at convenient landing places,
orders can be taken and goods de-
llvered the same as the rural mail
carriers do on land. When some
body wants to come to town it will
not be necessary to take the team out
OF the field> but they can hail The
boat, have a pleasure trip by steam
er and return at a slight expense
Arrangements will be made for
small dock near Snake river bridge,
and transfer men will respond with
team at the dock when the incom
ing steamer gives the signal. Fish
ing and hunting parties desiring to
go to the resorts likely to be es-
tablished in the neighborhood of
Springfield and Otis, can go by steam
er and it will be an easy matter for
a Blackfoot pastor and his flock to
go out and hold an annual service in
July at the old site of Ft. Hall where
Jason Lee preached the first sermon
west of the Rockies. for that place is
near the river bank on the steamer
line. Vast quantities of hay going
to waste under present conditions on
tie notion lapds, can be, baled and
oaded on the barges and drawn to
market up or down the river.

Transportation by water for al

OF the new steamboat Power City
will be made on the 4th of July, car
rying a big bunch of people from
the Power City who will visit ovel
night and establish more friendsly re
lations with people here.
Harry Young, formerly of Port
land, Oregon, but now a resident oil
American Falls, was here Tuesday or
an educational visit among the busi.
ness men of this place. and made
many acquainted with the new pro-
Ject. He was invited to speak at the
meeting of the city council in the
evening and they manifested much in
terest in the subject.
Mr.. Young has had about thirty
years experience in river navigation
on the Columbia river and about two
years ago he became interested in
navigating the Snake river in its up
per reaches, and after making a SER
les of Investigations he decided to
build a very light draught boat for
freight and passenger service between
American Falls and Blackfoot.
On Saturday the tn of June such
a boat was launched at American
Falls, and is now being fitted with
specially constructed machinery, CIV
ing her great power, and light
draught. The boat is IS feet long

length of 65 feet, is ii feet wide and

CHANGE IN SUGAR FACTORY
PLANS

1t has been decided by the officers
of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company
that the Blackfoot factory will not
be operated this year on account of
the reduced number of acres planted
to beets, the acreage being only about
three thousand. The beets will be
sliced at Ilaho Falls this fall, but
there is nothing definite as to future
operations.
The price of lands has advanced
greatly since the factory was located
here, and farmers generally claim
they can make more money on other
crops than on sugar beets.

COMMENTS ON THE MUSICAL FES.
TIVAII

The comments made by people who
attended the Musical Festival were
unanimous in its favor Practically
everybody was pleased with it, and
many went expecting common place
rendition, were much surprised. Some
who went from a sense of duty be-
cause they thought they ought to sup
port the undertaking, went again be-
cause they were unwilling to miss It.
One such man went three times, and
said If they were going to give 1t
again the next night he would be
there Some of the Pythian visitors
were so delighted with it they said
it was worth coming from North
Idaho to hear.
Two local men were talking on the
street and one said, "Oh, 1t was good.
Of course, there was one time they
dropped a note or two." But the
other retorted, ooh, they dropped a
note or two did they? Well, I didn't
know it. I don't care If they drop
ped two bars, it was good. and I'm
mighty glad I was there when it hap
pened."
The newspapers Of the country
have given Blackfoot much desirable
notice on account of the undertaking.
First in announcing that it was be-
ing attempted, and then saying that
1t was great success. We have dis
covered nothing but favorable COM
ment and the Salt Lake papers have
given very flattering write-ups of the
event.
Prof. Mcclellan of Salt Lake was
so pleased with the reports he re-
ceived of it that he wrote here con-
Prof Rowdon and saying
he would like to be in on it next
year.
Financially the event was not prof
table, the expense not being entire
ly covered by the sale of tickets. but
many offers Of donations of sums Of
money have been made by well-to-do
people Of the community who say It
was a great advertisement for the
great benefit from an
standpoint, and that they

Bile investment to encourage such en-
by donating to cover

PINGREE LAND CONTEST

Matters relating to the title of the
lands embraced in the Pingree Town.
site have come to focus and have
been filed for hearing early in Au-
gust. 1t will in no way interfere with
the opening planned for the End of
July, but will interest those who
give the titles to purchasers. Pro-
vision has been made to safeguard
the interests of purchasers and the
sales will go on uninterrupted.
The contest grows out technical
points in the final proof of the origi-
nal locator, B. H. Cannon and Spauld-
ing C Spaulding having taken the
view that absolute compliance and
not PRACTICAL compliance with the
law was necessary to acquire title
and acted accordingly.
