A DOUBTFUL COMPLIMENT

A Seattle firm importing some very
fine horses wanted them shipped
across the continent from New York
in the shortest time possible SO the
horses would not become travel
weary. Accordingly they arranged to
have them carried on express time,
and would have secured something
better if there had been anything bet
tier or faster in speed. Everything
went we'll until they were on the divi-
|sion between Granger and Pocatello,
when a telegram was sent in asking
that this car of horses be cut out of
the Fast Mail, known as No. 8, on
account too fast running.
The management of the road has
been listening to complaints about
too slow running for stock ever since
the road was built, and now that
one man was more than satisfied,
it caused no little stir in railroad
circles.
The fact is that No. 9 leaves only
two impressions on people that ride
it from Granger to Pocatello-great
speed and sharp curves-and the
horses became seasick. When horse
gets seasick he slobbers and purges,
and when he gets the floor wet and
slippery he slips and falls on each
sharp curve, and that keeps him busy
getting up until the next curve is
reached.
The car was cut out after the train
again reached the level plains

precious stones in the United States,
and every known gem. cut and IN the
rough state, is represented in this
wonderful collection. 1t is worth
any ones while making special eff
fort to see it, and is a chance of a
lifetime to secure fine stone at a
reasonable price. Birth and rare
stones can be procured out of this
beautiful collection which cannot be
purchased on the market. Don't fail
to see it. Mr.. Robinson's courteous
explanation of ancient history of
many of the gems is very interesting
and an education in itself to people
of good taste and gem lovers.
The proprietor of Scott's Pharmacy
deserves credit and shows business
foresight in securing Mr.. Robinson
with his grand collection to exhibit
in his store, giving his customers and
the citizens of Blackfoot a chance to
see this grand display.
Mr.. Scott extends a cordial invita-
tion to everyone to come and see this
costly mass of wealth and splendor,
the work of old grim Nature. Not
an imitation in the exhibit.

WHAT HELP DID THEY WANT?

The editor of the Optimist COM
plains that at the installation of the
new city officials last week, the retir-
ing city clerk occupied the mayors
chair and ex-Mayor West occupied
one near the door; that after the oath
of Office was administered the new
board had to take hold with mo
introduction to the duties of office, no
assistance from the outgoing offic-
ials," all of which indicates that the
fellow was hungry for something to
criticise.
Farther on he quoted the remarks
of one of the councilmen in the meet
ing who criticised the work of paving
and connecting sewers but who kept
saying that he was not casting any
reflections upon anybody. 1t is not
our policy to hold public servants up
to ridicule, but while the Optimist
was quoting speeches why did it not
quote the other speech by the same
councilman that brought down the
laugh upon himself? The talk of
"buncombe" in paving and sewer
work will look as fiat by the harvest
time as the request for a financial
statement did when 1t was shown that
such statements had just been made
and published by the retiring Fin

THE POLL TAX QUESTION

Since the law has been altered to
require poll taxes to be paid in cash
the question arises whether or not
women shall pay. While it was col
lected in labor the fair sex was spar
ed, and in so far as it applied to them
the law was dead letter. But now
the tax question is live one, and
Governor Hawley insists upon the
letter of the law being observed, and
this probably means payment of poll
taxes by all persons between the ages
of 81 and As.
In Bannock county the assessor is
planning to collect three dollars per
and this is irrespective of race,
color, etc., but up to the present
time no decision has been handed out
as to what course will be followed in
Bingham county.

Sunday, the 14th of May, has beer
selected as the date for celebrating
a quarter of century of church work
in Blackfoot by the Methodists, and
on that day as many of the pastors
will assemble as can come, to renew
their acquaintance with the people
and the place where. they once serv-

Twenty-Five years ago Boise, Sal
mon and ,Blackfoot were the three
places in Idaho that had Methodist
churches, and now that the one at
Blackfoot has become so linked with
the history of the state and the north
west by its connection with the Jason
Lee Memorial, more interest attaches
to it, and as stated above, day has
been set apart to celebrate the COM
pletion of the first quarter century
of it's continuous work in its own
building.
Only seven pastors have served in
that time, and they have all been
invited to be here at the celebration,
though some of them will only send
letters. The principal service will
be held at II o'clock in the morning,
and DR.. Powell of Caldwell will de-
liver the Baccalaureate address to
the graduating class in the evening
at the church. On Monday evening
he will deliver lecture on "Gump-
ton" at the same place.
Considerable interest attaches to
the art windows in the church, and
there is talk of securing another to
unveil on the 22nd of October in
commemoration of the passing of the
first white men through the valley in
1871, this one to be a river scene
