DEATH OF MRS. w. f.. JENKINS

Mrs. Blanche La ROGUE Jenkins
departed this life at Gooding, Idaho,
on Thursday, August 18th, after two
weeks illness of typhoid fever.
She was the youngest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Emery La ROGUE, and
had reached the age of q years and
one day. She was married to Mr..
Walter e. Jenkins about five years
ago, and they had lived at Gooding
the past four years. She is survived
by her mother, Mrs. Martha La
ROGUE, her sister, Mrs. Josephine
Forbes, and four brothers. She left
no children.
Mrs. Jenkins grew up at BlackfOot
and Riverside and had large circle
of friends and acquaintances. She
was of sunny, cheerful disposition
and on this account was the light of
the parental home, as we'll as her own
home since it was established.
The remains were brought home
Saturday morning in company of her
mother and husband and his brother,
Mr.. e. M. Jenkins. The funeral SER
vices were held on Sunday afternoon
at the La ROGUE home, but the inter-
ment was postponed until Monday af-
ternoon on account of the physicians
death certificate not having been is
sued in time to accompany the casket
in conformity with he law governing
the record of vital statistics, and 1t
arrived on Monday morning.
A very large number of friends OF
the families attended the services and
the funeral.

BEGGED HERE TOO

There was a stir In Boise last week
over the little girl who was here the
week before, doing the begging act
for couple of musicians who
come this way twice year. When
here she rushed into our Office with
the air of a professional beggar, ask
ed for cash from each one as II she
owned the whole bunch, and then
hurried to the next Office. The man
is blind, and he and the little girl
and a woman furnish some music on
the streets ht times, and make a
house to house canvass for cash when
business looks dull on the street.
While on the street in Boise last
week man came along and saw the
little girl and after look of aston
ishment, he took her in his arms,
and the two showed every evidence Of
Joy at the meeting. She called him
papa, Notwithstanding she had been
calling the blind man papa. The
real papa and the blind man and wo-
man all contested for the possession
of the child, and took 1t into the
courts to settle.
The father, F. N. Warren had hah
some misfortunes and had to give
up his home, and it seems his wife
gave the little girl to these travelling
musicians and told her husband that,
she had given her to some wealthy
Tennessee people who had become at
tached to her while he was away
hunting work. He did not approve
of it, and later the parents separated
at Spokane. After a year or so he
met the little daughter as described
above, and learned that his wife had
deceived him about 1t.
The court dec 'ded against the mu-
sicians, and the father not having
made any showing that he was able
to support the child or give it pro-
per home, the Idaho Home Finding
society was designated to care Of little
Ethel until suitable home could be
found for her or until the father
could provide home.

A. G. McDONALD's HOME BURNS

The residence of A. G. Mcdonald
took fire Sunday afternoon and was
burned to the ground. The fire was
not discovered until it had gained
considerable volume, and by the time
the fire department got their hose in
operation the whole building was in
flames.
The firmen responded promptly to
the alarm, but not being accustomed
to long runs, some of them were
pretty we'll winded when they reached
the City Hall and very much more
SO when they had pulled the hose
cart two or three blocks through the
deep dust of some newly graded
streets. There were dozens of people
running along the same street with
the hose cart and apparently none of
them had any thought but to beat
the hose cart to the fire. In vain
some of the fellows in the team called
for more men, and as .Eey approached
the burning building some hundreds
of people stood about and watched
the exhausted firemen, and very few
gave them any aid. Unfortunately
the hose was strung out wrong end
to the hydrant and had to be reversed,
In this operation 1t became entangled
in some tall weeds and caused several
minutes delay.
Only few things weer saved from
the house, the whole of their furnit-
ure and fine new piano being con-
sumed. There was insurance amount
ing to $21O0. t~
Mrs. Mcdonald was attending
funeral at Riverside and Mr.. McDon-
aid was taking a nap in tent in the
yard when the fire started, and as
there had, been no fire for cooking
since morning it is not known how 1t
originated. The residence of F. C.
Parkinson next to it on the lee side
with the wind blowing gale, was
saved by the prompt use of the
sprinkling hose on the roof.

A SLAM ON THE HOTELS

In the last issue of our contempo-
rary, the editor vents his spleen on
la local business man, evidently the
proprietor of hotel, and calls him
goat and shrimp-a goat because
he sends east for his stationery and
a shrimp because he writes his own
fire insurance. The editor adds caus-
ltically that insurance agents in town
patronize this shrimp as readily as
they do the other man engaged in the
same business, but that hereafter he
will take pleasure in teering all the
business he can to the other fellow.
There would be certain amount o:
merit in the contention If it were
true, but we have the assurance Of
the victim of this attack that, al
Though he had been engaged in writ
ing fire insurance for some time be-
fore he went into business here, he
employed two local insurance agents
to attend to his fire risks, of which
he carries large amount. That he
has all of his stationery printed at
the printing house nearest him In
Blackfoot, and that he follows to the
letter the theory that home dealers
should be patronized so far as their
ability goes to supply the things need
ed.
Another Injustice
About six years ago an attempt
was made to establish town at
Firth, about ten miles up the road
from Blackfoot and Mrs. M. l.. Jones
established a good-sized hotel, the
second building on the new townsite.
Through all the ups and downs Of
business she conducted good hotel.
and to this day has done her part by
the town, generally keeping better
hotel than the business of the town
justified.
On the same page OF his paper In
which he berated the aforementioned
'igoat" and shrimp" the editor gave
q very commendable little write-up of
the flourishing town of Firth. and
said the town is In need of hotel
and that anyone seeking location
for such business could not do better
than to start in that embryo city.
The unfairness of the matter of
agitating for competitive house In
such a small place becomes plain
when one considers that such move
would mean bankruptcy for this en-
terprising widow who has invested
the few thousands she possesses in
hotel that must of necessity fail if't
the patronage were divided at this
time.

mans dairy and Doud's dairy were
not up to the standard for sanitation
and the methods of handling the milk
We're not what he law requires and
they were given severe instructions.
/ A lot of outbuildings and old ware
houses and woodsheds along the al
, leys were condemned and ordered
cleaned up or removed. Some people
who have been dumping the contents
of slop buckets in the yard and not
covering it up to keep the flies from
obtaining food wore instructed about
burying it or keeping it in closed
cans with the ans actually closed 50
the flies could mot get in.
Managers of meat markets were in
structed about cleansing their knives,
saws, steels and meat hooks with hot
water and lye at close intervals so
that no stale or rancid meat or oil
could be communicated by contact
with the fresh meats. Refrigerators
where butter is kept were inspected
and the owners instructed about
cleansing them in the same way SO
that particles of butter sticking to
shelves cannot become rancid.
The commissioners protest against
the vender of milk who docs not
operate a dairy but simply peddles
some about town and does not COM
ply with the law which the dairy men
must, and since he is under less ex-
pense than they are he cuts the price
and violates the law in his small way
and thus makes it harder for the
doiry man to maintain a profitable
business done in a legal way. The
commission advises people to patron
ize the man who makes it his bust
ness, and then report him II he does
not comply absolutely with the law
When we interviewed the commits
sioners on Thursday at noon they
were going out to inspect the Nelson
corral on North Main street, and then
the septic tank or sewer at the Asy-
lum. They had already inspected the
Asylum buildings and found them in
good condition, and especially COM
mended the things pertaining to the
food supply and maner of handling
it throughout. They said that il
they got time they would go through
the alleys of the town and show peo-
pie where death turks in lot of
shacks and outhouses which they
have become used to and do not
realize the danger of. Also a
lot of things that are a men
ace in the way of fire which
they might as well remove and Sc
cure greater safety for themselves
and reduce their rate of, insurance.
They felt that they had to finish last
evening and take a night train out,
and If hey told us where they were
going to land next we are to be pro-
foundly ignorant about it, as they
always clam the right to surprise
people, and them they can be as len
lent with offenders as they think they
ought to be i'm their campaign of
education-and compulsion when
needed.

A NEAR-FIRE

At about IL o'clock Monday night
an alarm of fire was given, the Com
mercial hotel being full of smoke,
but no damage was done. 1t seems
that the plant for heating water for
the lavatories produced a great
smudge in the cellar when it was sup
posed to have burned out, and this
rose through the building.
The management regrets having
disturbed peoples slumber for fire
that was all smoke, and is grateful
for the prompt response Of those who
turned out for service.

UNIVERSITY FOR BLACKFOOT

The time is approaching for Black.
foot to set forth its claims for the
Methodist university to accommodate
students living in the district between
that served by the one at Denver
Colo, and the one at Salem, Ore.
When the Protestant religion was
first planted west of the Rockies by
Jason Lee, it was in the Blackf0ot
country that is was first sown, and in
the Willamette valley next. The uni
versities at Denver and Salem have
grown to be great institutions and
are great drawing cards for business
for those localities. Few places be-
Tcweo,.- the .t,hs two have natural advant-
ages to offer that edus,. those of the
Grove City. In the midst of great
agricultural section, with easy con-
nections by rail in all directions, ex-
cept perhaps from the southwest and
that coming into form by the compile
ton of the Aberdeen branch to Mini
doka. with its enviable climate and
good water it affords some of the
things most needed for such an in
stitution. 1t would be as near the
main lines of two trans-continental
roads as 1t would be possible to have
it and yet be free from the objection
able element that belongs to rail-
road center or a manufacturing town.
Two miles out of town in almost
any direction would be a good loca-
tion for the university, but perhaps
the most desirable place would be
on the south side of the Blackfoot
river on the Fort Hall reservation,
just being opened by allotment of
j. lands. 1t would be easy to secure
lands sor it at this time. 1t would be
on the linz, of railroad and at con-
venient place to reach by electric cars.
1t would be on the new automobile
road being built across eastern Idaho
to connect Salt Lake City with the
Yellowstone Park, and but few i'm
provements would have to be undone
to lay out the grounds on large
scale i'm any way that might be de-
sired.
AS a money-maker by increasing
the value Of real estate both in town
and in the surrounding country, in
creasing the markets for the products
of the farms, and attracting good
class of people it would have a more
beneficial effect at the outset than
the coming of the sugar factory had,
and advantages would come from
year to year for all future time.
1t would bring desirable class
of young people and teachers to the
town, would increase the Intellectual
wealth of the community by attract
ing high class entertainments that we
cannot secure now on account of the
small population, and by creating en-
tertainments incident to the univer-
sity work. The study of music, lit
erature and art, and the making of
fine homes in which Blackfoot excels
SO many of its sister towns, would
all receive new impetus, and the
things already attained in such lines
would be a strong argument in Sc
curing the university.
The attention of our business men
and property owners who wish to see
a substantial Increase in values. is
respectfully directed to this matter
as a conservative and laudable ven.

THE BELMONT TRAGEDY

The victims of the fire in the
Belmont mine at Tono pah were
buried vest erday. The funeral
took place during the worst
blizzard of the winter, but the
people of Tonopah turned out in
large numbers and followed the
remains to the cemeteries.
Serious charges have been made
against the management of the
mine and thorough investigation
of the fire is d emanded by the
public. The Goldfcld News in
discussing the fire says:
1t has been charged that the men
who were sent into the Belmont
mine on the morning Of the
discovery Of the fire went into the
mine under penalty of dismissal if
they did not go; that the men went
as employees under orders and not
as volunteers; that the property
was insufficiently equipped as to
ventilation facilities; that no
adequate firc-fighting appliance
was ready for use; that a system
Of peonage existed in the mine
whereby certain under-bosscs
exacted tribute from certain miners
as reward for allowing these
miners to hold their positions.
thai this system Of ribute had
caused the mine to be fred
purposely and that the fire was
not an accident.
Each and every one of the above
charges is grave in itself. When
they are all combined, they suggest
possibility that the disaster in
Il G Belmont is not only a tragedy
but monstrous crime.
