FOR SECRETARY OF STATE

wish to announce to the voters OF
the State of Idaho, that / am a can
didate for the nomination of Secre-
tary of State on the Republican ticket
at the primary election to be held on
the last Tuesday in August, of the
present year.
1t was my good fortune to serve
the State of Idaho as Chief Clerk to
the Secretary of State for a period of
four years, from 1903 to 1907, and
by reason of this experience I &C.
quired thorough and practical
knowledge of the essential duties of
the office. Therefore, in asking the
voters of the State of Idaho to sup
port me for this important office, do
so with firm conviction that l pos
sess a clear and definite understanding
OF the duties and responsibilities i'm
posed upon the Secretary of State by
the Constitution and laws of our great
commonwealth and if elected, I
pledge myself at all times to faith
full, conscientious and honest admin
lsuation OF the affairs of the office.
Respectfully submitted,
BYRON E. HYATT,
Boise, Idaho.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN TELEPHONE
COMPANY

The fact that the business of the
local exchange of the Rocky Noun
tain Telephone Company is constantly
increasing is good indication of the
business activity in Blackfoot. At the
present time this exchange has about
$50 subscribers, and employs four
operators. Mr.. c. F. Green, who is
in charge, has by adopting systematic
business methods brought the SER
vice up to the very highest pitch of
efficiency, and not only that, during
his connection with this office which
only extends over three months time,
1t has jumped from the lowest to the
highest in the percentage of collec-
tions made and business gained by
the exchanges in this district
Mr.. Green is native of the Empire
state, and has had wide experience
In the telephone business. For a num-
Der of years he held responsible posi-
lions with various New York COM
panies, however he fell victim to the
western fever and his location here
in Blackfoot is the result. Mr.. Green
is of the type of men who actually do
things and that he is successful is
hardly surprising to those who know
him.

brighter year along educational lines
is in prospect.
A four years high school course
Is maintained which admits its gradu-
ates to any of the leading universities
and colleges of our country. In this
course for the past year has been Of
fered two semester's work in agri-
culture. Not elementary, superficial,
theoretical agriculture. but a course
equal to that given in our colleges
and pronounced by competent critics,
the best in any western high school.
The popularity and efficiency of the
Blackfoot High school is attracting
many pupils from the country dis
tricts, who are admitted to all
courses without tuition.
Frequent and radical changes in
schools of our state have in past
years made consistent development
impossible. The. Blackfoot schools
have been hampered in this same way
but we are glad to announce that
Superintendent w. D. Vincent will
be at the head of the schools another
year, Principal j. B. Griffing will
again direct things in the high school
and twelve of last years teachers will
return to their respective grades in
the fall. We predict year of unus-
ual growth AMI enlargement for 1910

BINGHAM COUNTY SCHOOLS
by The County superintendent Miss
Belle Shaw ~

In school population Bingham
county ranks fourth in the state
having almost seven thousand chill.
dren between the ages of six and
twenty-one years. The average daily
attendance is about five thousand
pupils.
These five thousand children are
taught in fifty six school districts by
one hundred fifty three teachers.
Twenty three of these districts en-
ploy from two to five teachers. Shell
ley has seven. Blackfoot nineteen,
and Idaho Falls twenty-nine, making
twenty-six graded schools in the coun-
ty. Eighty per cent of the children
attend schools where at least two
teachers are employed Shelley,
Blackfoot and Idaho Falls maintain
high schools. These towns are easily
accessible from nearly all parts of
the county making it possible for
the majority of our young people to
obtain high school education.
Bingham county is proud of her
school property, the aggregate value
of which is not less than $250.0O0.
This will be increased this year by
not less than $4,000. The buildings
that are being put up now of brick
or stone. have from two 10 eight
rooms and are modern and wei
The salaries paid to he
teachers are good. The teachers are
the brightest and best that the mid
die west affords We believe the aver
age work done in our schools as good
If not superior to that done in any
of the older states.
