The state legislature has fully
completed its organization and are

clash in both branches upon matters

senate it came when Senator Mac

for his reason of SO doing that he
was the only democrat upon the
committee and did not feel that
the democrats were given proper

AN EVEN BREAK.
Boys Win and Girls Loose to the
Blackfoot Team.

a large crowd watched the double
header basket ball game at the Audi
torium Friday night OF last week,
in which Biackfoot wen the girls
game by a score Of IS 10 -, and
the Power City boys trounced
their opponents by the close score
Of 90 TO 19. Both games were hot
ly contested and kept the spectators
constantly in doubt of each contest
The girls led off with rush and
for while seemed TO be the prob
able winners, but by the end of the
first half honors We're about evenly
divided. In the second half, the
visitors made up for lost time and
gradually forged ahead while the
locals struggled hard to hold their
own. The splendid basket shooting
of Miss Downing, who scored thlr-
teen points, out of the nineteen,
was the winning feature for the
visitors. For the local team Floy Gift
fin was a star, making eleven of the
thirteen points scored by the team
Bessie Burrell at right guard did
much to keep the score down.
The first half of the boys game
opened with Blackfoot taking the
lead which they held until the lat
| ter part of the second half. The
| local boys worked hard the first
| half but seemed unable to break up
the opponents system. In the secont
/ half they proved conclusiyely that
! they could come back, and gradually
! brought the score to tie and in
the last half made a whirl-wind rail-,
that completely bewildered the boys
from Blackfoot.
Parkinson did most of the scor-
ing for the visitors. running uI
thirteen of the total score. The
playing of the home team was more
evenly divided. OF the twenty, Watt
made eight, closely followed by
Staines with six. Evans played his
usual good game, interfering with
the floor work OF the opponents il
first class shape.

The gang of burglars so we'll re-

have been working in other, localit-
les for the past eight or ten months,
returned last Friday night. some
time between closing time and early

theft was the work of home talent
seems to be the general opinion, for
their work showed a familiarity with
the store room and the arrangement
of the goods. Mr.. Lawson estimat-
es his loss between fifty and one
hundred dollars. At about two o'clo
Saturday morning two men were
noticed going out on the East Fork
road and seemed to be in hurry as
they were taking the middle of the
road. Mr.. Lawson thinks also that
the burglars must have been inter-
upted in their labors as several of
the heavier articles were misplaced.
No clue as yet and the ground is
frozen too hard to leave foot

ROBBERS AT ABERDEEN.
Enter Two General Stores and the
Lumber Company Office.

On Tuesday night Aberdeen was
for the first time in its history Wis
tied by burglars. The robbers en-
tered the stores of the Valley Supply
company, the Peoples store and the
Aberdeen Lumber company office
The Valley Supply was the greatest
sufferer. having lost goods valued
at about fifty dollars The store
was entered through the small high
window on the south side of the
building, facing the office of the
Townsite company. Upon entering
the store Wednesday morning the
proprietor, j. P. Wedel. and clerks,
Mr.. Dick and Alfred Wedel. were
surprised to find that part of the
store was in disorder and that some
things had been disturbed They
at once started an investigation and
found that several pairs of shoes,
some shirts and probably one suit oi
clothes were missing The robber
or robbers evidently knew just what
was wanted, as he chose No Z sohes

The meeting WAS enthusiastic
and entertaining, and the general

many subjects of interest TO the
people of American Falls. The pros
poets of securing the new county
were thoroughly discussed and all
were optimistic regarding the out
come. In speaking of the Oregon
! Short Line industrial train it was de-
cided to advertise the matter as
! widely as possible SO that all may
know of it and take advantage OF
/ the educational opportunities it will
afford. Another subject that was
| given much consideration was the
! possibility of having Prof. Farrell
establish an experimental farm here
i Sometime ago Prof. Farrell was yer!
favorably impressed with the desir-
ability of establishing three such

the river, one just south of town

PLANNING ON A
FARMERS INSTITUTE
Preparations to be Made For
Two Days Session.
State Speakers Viii Likely Hold an
Institute Here Some Time With
in the Next Two Nonnths.
Plans Being Made.

Prof. F D. Farrell, director in
charge OF the Southern Idaho ex-
tension OF the agricultural college
and experiment station of the Uni
versity of Idaho, has ben in cores
pondence with E E. Earring relative
TO the holding of an institute in this
city at some time during the next
two months. His coming here, how
ever, will be dependant upon the
institute being well attended as his
services are too much in demand to
/ permit of his delivering lectures to
very small gatherings. He asks no
fees, but merely the assurance of a
good attendance of farmers. For
! the purpose of finding out whether
enough would attend TO make the
institute worth while, a meeting of
farmers will be called some time in
the near future. the date of which
will be announced later
II is also understood that Prof.
Farrell has ben favorably impressed
with the adyisability OF establishing
one or more experimental farms
near this town.
The following letter regarding the
institute was received by Mr. Earring
We are making arrangements for
giving number of institutes in
south Idaho during the next two
months. and we think ii highly de-
sirable that one be given at Ameri-
can Falls. We would like to has
you cali your trainers association to
gether 10 consider the desirability
Of having an institute. and to sacer-
/. tain about how many farmers would
be willing TO attend. We have SO
many calls for this kind of work
that we do not fel justified in going
TO a town the size of American Falls
unless we are reasonably sure of
an attendance of from 80 to 100
farmers.
The subjects likely to be of in
: teTest in your community are ir-
1 rigation practices, field crops under
irritation, dry farming, live stock
including hogs, sheep. horses and
