Fifteen Day Run Was All.

The Blackfoot people who were
transferred from the sugar factory in
this city to Nampa are gradually com
ing back to Blackfoot. There was
but a fifteen day run of the factory l.
that city, owing to a scarcity of beets
The price per ton to the farmers has
been raised in this district to $500
and it is believed that the farmers
will raise this year a sufficient crop
to insure the Blackfoot factcry's run
ming several months Gext year. The
factory is of untold benefit to the
community in that while it runs, as
large herds Of cattle are fed here
through the winter months and mar
ket is afforded fer the hay raised
here, but it has been the general
opinion heretofore that the price
paid fcr beets was insufficient to
justify the farmer in raising them.

ard cheek tinged lightly, and dove
like eye, and all hearts blessed her
as she passed bye
Such a one was Miss Sadie Robin
son, daughter of Mrs. Cecilia Robin
son. residing between the forks OF
the rivers. Down in the beautiful
farm land that knew her, as the sum-
mers harvest had been gathered with
the cycles of men, so the grim reap
er entered the home of this beautiful
girl and prepared to gather unto MIN
self a queen Of the valley that will
know her no more. Miss Robinson was
stricken with appendicitis and was re
moved to- the Pocatello hospital where
an operation was performed. Hopes
of her recovery were entertained un-
til Wednesday mcr9ing, when she
grew worse and she died before the
MONDAY sun had reached the zenith

seventeenth year. The body was
brought to this city this morning

Portland Mecca.

Portland, Or, Dec. 20.-When the
annual convention of the National
Wool Growers Association opens in
Portland January 4, it will be the
biggest anG most important gather
ing of sheep raisers in America for
years. Questions of vital imrc rtance
to the sheep industry are to be con-
sidered and the future policy OF the
wool interests are to be outlined.
According to those high in the
councils CT the organiza ton, little
support for the wool men may be
expected either from President Taft
or the next congress. Both, it seems,
are determined to lead Schedule X
to the slaughter in revising the tar
iff bill. The friends of the threat
ened schedule would leave the sub
ject to the tariff board, but it is
said President Taft feels that the
public expects further tinkering with
the rates on wool mad woolens and
he is detedmined to accede to their
demands.
1t is felt by the woolmen that
their SIDE OF the case has never
been presented to the public fairly,
while on the ether hnad they charge
the agitation which has arisen
against them to the mudslinger and
the muckraker in the sensational,
magazines.
Schedule k said D. O. Lively
chairman of the general arrangement
committee, will be the meat of the
cocoanut as far as the convention is
concerned. 1t is the life Of thewoo
trade and when it is threatened the
danger. WoolgrDWers ALI over the
country are alarmed at the rapid ad
valcemenL off the sentiment for a
change in the wool schedules of tht
traiff.''

prominence, who will speak On tariff
matters and ether subjects CT vita

A great sheep and goat show viii
be held in connection with the con
vention which meets at the Armory
and prize animals from all over thu
country will be on exhibition. Breed
ers and woolmen are taking unusua
interest in the approaching session
and they will attend in very larg,
numbers, it being expected that no
less than 5000 people directly inter
ested in the sheep business will be
in Portland during the four days o
the convention.

PETER CORTRO
FALLS FROM BOAT
Contractor On Dredge At Forks Of River, Falls
In Snake River. Body Searched for With
out Result. Heroic Effort Of S. V. Clev-
. enger Unavailing.


Last Friday morning about II: 45,
S. V. Clevenger, manager of the Gold
Point Extraction and Exploration Co..
Rem Osberg, of Thomas, and Peter
Cortro OF Blackfoot, attempted to
cross the Snake river from Gold
Point to dredge boat upon which
Clevenger and Cortro had a wrecking
contract The material in the boat
and the machinery were to be sold
at public auction by an agent of the
dredge boat company. When mid
way of the stream at a point that
had been crossed all fall by eleven
ger the boat began to rock and was
quickly capsized. Osberg was first
to get into the water and having cn
a pair Of hip waders was iacapacitat-
ed to such an extent that he could
do nothing, and finally came out of
the river about 600 ieet below. Cortro
stood up in the boat and told eleven
ger he could not swim. Clevenger re
piled that that was al right, that
he would get him out and when the
boat turned over Clevenger caught

Ccrtro and lifted him onto the boat
three different times. The boat was
rapidly floating toward whirl pool
and finally when Clevenger realized
that he could not save Cortro and
that he could barely escape himself
he gave up the fight and swan for
shore.
The Modern Woodmen of America
of which Cortro was member, re-
paired to the scene of -he disaster
and dragged the river and a constant
search has been kept up since the
drowning in the hope that the mans
body might be recovered, but up to
the present time mo trace of it has
been received. A brother of the de-
ceased, who resides in WISCONSIN
was notified and came to Blackfoot a
few days ago and has since been
searching the river. Cortro was, a
cripple. He was a man who was al
ways looking on the bright side of
life, and although a, resident of this
community a short time only, he
made many friends

LIVES OF CHILDREN IN PERIL

The Rexburg public school building
containing at the time fire wa sdis-
covered 618 pupils, was burned to the
ground last Monday at neon. Al
though the fire broke out immediat-
ely beneath the main entrance which
quickly shut off escape from that
source, the pupils were all emptied
from the building in less than three
minutes and without accident OF any
kind, due to frequent fire drills, re-
quired in the school, after a rear
stairway had been installed to meet
just such contingency.
The word was sent here to DR..
Hyde, president of the state board
of health who is president of the
board of trustees of the Rexburg In
dependent cshool district, and to Pure
Food Inspector James H. Wallis, who
is also a member of the beard.
The fire which broke out about II
O'Clock this morning, is supposed to
have originated because of some
defect in the furnace which is located
just under the mian entrance and in
the center CT the building. The build
ing which had been erected less htan
four years ago was built of cut stone
and no provision had been made for
esress from the building other than
by the main entrance. DR.. Hyde and
Of "a OF
demanded that rear stairway be
put in and after a hard fight, some
of the people believed that the ex-
pease was unnecessary on account
the stairway was but recently Install
ed and a system CT fire drills insti-
tuted.
From the details given to DR.. Hyde
and Mr.. Wallis here it is evident
that it was this only that probably
saved the lives of many of the child
rem who mi ght otherwise have becom
panic stricken and possibly have bee
shut off entirely from escape.
The old school building, a frame
aftair, is still standing adjoining the
new building burned this morning an
arrangements will at once be made
to open school there and in rooms
abaut the town until a new building
can be constructed.
DR. hyde when seen today was not
certain, of the amount of insurance
carried but he believed that it is
s11, 900, $1,000 CT which was renewed
1nly on Thursday of last week, also
against opposition of some members
of the board who expressed conf
dence that building such as the ont
they had would not suffer loss from
fire.
The walls os the building were lef'
intact after the fire and the belie1
was expressed that they had net bee
damaged sufficiently to prevent re
modelling of the building by putting
the interior work.
DR.. Hyde, who had come to Boise
to arrange the biennial report OF TIT
state board of health and to prepare
certain legislative recommendation
the board desired to make, determln
ed to leave at once for Rexburg t.
