The CELEBRATION
IS CALLED OFF

4 Montpelier's Fourth of July cele-
bration died bornin' and there
will be nothing doing here on that
day, except bali game between the
McCammon Independents and the
local team. We announced in good
faith last week that there would be
something doing here and based
our statment on the fact that a COM
mittee had secured subscriptions to
the amount of nearly $500 and that
a meeting was TO be held for the pur-
pose of outlining program and APP
pointing the committees. But after
subscribing towards a celebration,
everybody's patriotism seems to
have fallen below low water mark,
for only three men showed up at the
meeting which was called for last
Monday night. After waiting until
8 o'clock these three patriotic citi-
zens threw up the spong and by
common consent the celebration
was called off. 7

ALMA SOMSEN KILLED
BY FALLING TIMBERS

Alma Somsen met instant death
last Friday morning about 1890,
o'clock while at work on the Duffield
& Jeffs phosphate claims near
Border. Mr.. Somsen had ust
started to clean away the debris
from the mouth of the tunnel on
what is known as the Fryersen
claim, when the heavy timbcrs sud
denly gave away and in falling one
piece struck Mr.. Somsen across the
top of his shoulders, breaking his
neck and crushing his chest The
other men about the place hurried
to his rescue, but the injured man
had breathed his last before the
timber and debris could be removed
from his body.
Charlie Hoff, who is in charge of
the work at the claims, had the body
conveyed to Cokeyille at once.
The following morning a coron-
er's jury was empaneled, and after
viewing the body, went To the phos-
phate claims, inspected the tunnel
and secured all the evidence possible
regarding the accident. Returning
to CokesiIle, the jury rendered
verdict to the effect that deceased
came to his death in the manner as
above stated and no blame was at.
tached to any one,
The deceased was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. II. J. Somsen of Border.
He was twenty one years of age,
and a young man of exemplary
character and was held in high
esteem by all who knew him.
His funeral was held from the
Cokeville meeting house last Sunday
afternoon and was largely attended.
The speakers were Walter Hoge of
Pals, Bishop Hart and George Hall
of Raymond.

while Whitney never gave him any
particular trouble, he was not a
desirable man to have around. He
spent great deal Of time practlcing

during the two years he worked for
him he believes Whitney spent more
money for ammunition than he did
for clothing.
On the morning Of the 14th
Whitney, who was then at Lima,
Mont, telegraphed to Chas. Morn
ing at Cokeville, for SIS. The
request was complied with and the
money was used by Whitney to
redeem his revolver, which he had
''put in hook" the day before.
When last heard from Whitney
was near the Wyoming line and
believing that he was making for
Q section of country with which he
was familiar, Sheriff Rich re-
ceived a request by wire Wednesday
to go to Star valley in the hope of
intercepting Whitney who would
likely pass through there. In ac-

TAFT WANTS BORAH
FOR RUNNING MATE

Washington, June 20.- The
Washington Times declares that
leaders in the movement to re-elect
President Taft are set upon nomin-
atlng Senator Borah Of Idaho as
Taft's running mate in 1912, This
paper adds:
"For some days it has been going
the rounds in high political circles
thai the administration looked on
the able young senator from Idaho
with kindly eyes. But today it
came out from high source that
actual overtures have been made to
Senator Borah to get him to take
the nomination for vice president.
lie has practically been given to
understand he can have the admin
istration's backing.
at Is admitted on all hands that
Senator Borah would make an excel
lent running mate for President
Taft. The president likes him and
admires him, despite the fact that
they have clashed sharply on one oil
two occasions"
Senator Borah, when shown this
story, declared no overtures had
been made TO him by any authorized
parties, though several senators have
mentioned the matter in casual con
versatlon. He does not treat th,
rumors seriously.

MOVING PICTURES
HAVE COME TO STAY

From the Logan Republican of June
ID we clip the following article, in
which is expressed similar views
regarding moving pictures as those
given by the Examiner last week:
"rhe man or women who looks up
on the moving picture show as de-
grading and non-upliftiag, Is built in
such II narrow, hide-bound, bigoted
environment that they ought to have
wings and fly from this earth of ours.
Before the American and other
boards of Gems lrship took things In
hand, certain classes of pictures We're
presented to the people which Were
notQnly degrading, but the sweets
Of wickedness were in preponderat-
ing quantity. Now, however, the
wine bibbing, carousing scenes which
we used to be regaled with are no
more--or at least are SO infinitesimal
that they cut no great figure In latter
day film presentation.
"Such scenes, however like The
Mother which was presented here
this week, The Magdalen' and others
of like nature, have the serious and
important lessons Of life, which never
fail to impress those who look upon
them. The class of films which are
being presented in Logan today are
of high class character, and they
breathe obedience to the laws of ma
ture and the laws of the land.
The technical and educational part
of moving pictures, such as Catch
ing Salmon on the Columbia, THE
Habits of the Fly, Trout Hatching,'
and Raising Poultry, are among the
most important problems of our con-
tinent, and it Is remarkable how
much ignorance exists on these var
ious a locations. ] h way these stor-
les are presented will tend to create
a reater knowlef of I'll es Industries
and make them more valuable to US
as nation.
"And SO, story presented before
the eye in picture form will be more
indelibly stamped on the mind than
If one were only to read 1t. And for
this reason the moving picture show
cuts an important figure in American
educational and scientific realms, and
like the rest of civil problems, it is
here to stay to do its part in making
the nation broader, greater and more
in keeping with twentieth century
enlightenment"

among other things:
t'During the last two years l have

crops, in the various irrigated sec
tlons of the state. From Is to 20
acres are selected on each farm and
this is divided into three nearly
equal plats. The owner is allowed
to irrigate one of them at such times
and using the same amount of water
as has been his usual custom. This
is carefully measured by my assist
ant, after which the two other plats
are irrigated, using larger amount
OF water than the owner has used
upon one and lesser amount upon
the other.
"Thus we have in each case three
fields, all planted to the same crop
on the same soil and handled in ex-
actlv the same manner, but upon
which different amounts of water
have been applied during the grow
ing season, making it quite easy to
decide, in the fall, as TO the proper
amount to apply to the soil and
crop in question.
''This is the second year we have
been working along the foregoing
lines and we hope to continue the
work throughout next year as well.
We are now measuring water on
more than $50 fields and | am sure
that we will secure much scientific
data that will be of benefit to irriga-
ton farmers"

MONTPELIER DE-
FEATS DAIRY LADS

A large crowd of enthusiastic
fans, all anxious for Montpelier to
win another game, gathered at the
ball park last Sunday to witness a
brilliant, though cratic game.
Il he Dairy Lads started with one
run in the first session, which they
increased to three by the fifth inn
ing. The home talent secured two
IN the fifth round, and another in
the sixth. We next secured four
runs, making the score read 6 to 4.
In the eighth session, after two were
down, Huagerford was hit by pitch.
cd ball, Sarbach and Thicl hit safely
and Shopper hit TO the right garden
for three bags, and was promptly
scored by Ayers The Jensen team
made three in the ninth, after two
were out. With one on second,
the runner attempted to steal third
and was neatly put out, L. Spong-
berg to G. Spongberg.
Pidcock, short-stop, was injure d
in the second and had to retire, G..
L. Hungerford taking his place.
Myers played left field. Shopper
made several brilliant plays and fig
ured in three double plays. The in.
field put up good game, but the
outer gardeners seemed slow in re-
turning balls, probably on account
of the lnxnriant growth of grass,
which adorns that section of the
grounds.
Lawrence Spongberg pitched a
superb b game striking out an un-
usually large number of slab men
and having good control.
The next games can be called

IDAHO FALLS WANTS
FOREST OFFICE BACK

Idaho Falls is still kicking about
the removal of the Caribou Forest
headquarters from that city To
Montpelier, and from a recent issue
Of the Post we see that an effort il
being made to have the hesdquaI-
ters moved back there. However,,
We doubt very much that the
change will be made, as Montpelier
is the logical point for the office,
which should not have been located
in Idaho Falls in the first place. A
letter from Acting Secretary Moore
Of the Agricultural department 10
an Idaho Falls citizen, which was
published in the Post, gives the
reasons why the change was made
The letter in part is as follows:
1.-THE change was decided upoh
after very careful consideration. Ah
Investigation of the relative advant-
ages of the two places shows that d9
per cent of the users of the CARIBOU
forest are tributary to Montpelier, as
against 81 per cent tributary to Idas
no Falls. Montpelier is / 1-2 miles
from the boundary ,of the forest
while Idaho Falls is 25 miles from
the boundary. The nearest ranger
station to Idaho Falls is about 81
miles, of which at least 25 miles
must be spent in travel of the forest
where no phase of the work is In
sight. On the other hand, the
nearest ranger station to Montpelier
is about IL miles and travel from any
place on the forest to Montpelier Ii
practically within the forest, leaving
no waste of time in Improbable ira.
vel. Communications with the for
est for its protection and administra
tion are therefore quicker and more
economical from Montpelier. A for.
est service telephone line connect.
ing three ranger stations runs intC
Montpelier while Idaho Falls secures
connections with these stations only
by the nse of the long distance linei
at considerable expense.
1.-THE headquarters of the super
visor will be accessible and conven'
lent, with facilities for the expedi
tious and economical dispatch o
business. The advantages of th,
new location are so apparent as t.
leave no doubt as TO the advisabilit!
of the change, which has beef
persistently recommended by th,
district office for about two years.
From the tone of the above let
ter, it is quite evident that the ag
ricultural department fully recog
hizes the advantages Montpelie
offers for the headquarters, a
against Idaho Falls, and will no
likely consider very seriously tn
question of removing them from
this city. 1t would be well, how
ever, for the officers of the Com
mercial club to keep in close touc
with the situation and not let thi
prize slip away from US, now tbs
we have it,

I More than ordinary interest has
