THE CITY BUSINESS



After reading the minutes of the
last meeting the first business before
the council was he Plumbing Ordin-
ance, which, after considerable dis
cussion, was side-tracked until later
in the evening, when it was expected
more councilmen would be present.
1t was taken up later and finally laid
over for future consideration, the
vote being four to three.
Mayor West stated that he had
written to Congressman Thos. R.
Hamer, stating some facts in regard
to the necessity of trying to secure
free delivery of mails in Blackfoot,
and reply from Mr.. Hamer was
read, in which the gentleman stated
he would do all in his power to
secure same. 1t was reported that
Postmaster Curtis had received a
telegram to the effect that Blackfoot
would receive free delivery starting
May 1st.
1t was moved and seconded that
Kennedy's Addition No. be accepted
as part of the city and filed.

catcher and that the dog question
would be properly looked after this
year. He had already received checks
for three tags sold.

the report of the finance committee
be accepted.
1t was moved and seconded that
Mr.. Smith be authorized that when
he flushes the sewer to do it in the
morning and notify the water COM

SCHOOL NOTES
: l. i. + + !. + + 1. 1. i. + 1. + + :.

The annual defamation contest OF
last Friday evening was one of the
most marked achievements of the
hight school pupils during the pre-
sent school year. OF all the ten
candidates there was not one that
would not reflect credit upon the
Blackfoot school in the state contest.
1t is to be regretted that only one
be sent to Twin Falls. The judges
were unanimous in their decision for
the first place in each group, giving
awards ar follows:
In oratorical class; Geo. Dore.
Dramatic class; Hazel Hickman.
Humorous class; Mary Caps.
Music for the occasion was fur
nished by the glee club under the
leadership of Mr.. Benson. or the
four numbers rendered by them, the
little Irish song, "Mush, Mush," was
especially pleasing.
On Tuesday morning the High
School was favored by visit from
three of the speakers from the Lay
mems Missionary Conference. Miss
Rubie Weyburn spoke in a most
pleasing manner of her own school
days and made an impressive appeal
for high ideals and noble purpose
in life. Rev. Bradshaw followed her
address with a most interesting dis
cussion of customs and conditions
in China, particularly with respect
to Chinese schools, and presented
China as field of opportunity of to-
day and the arena of greatest activity
in the future.
The High School has accepted the
challenge of the alumni to meet them
in debate, and strong team will be
picked from the successful teams of
the present contests to meet the old
war-horse of the alumni.

AS an indication that the small
farm movement is coming apace is
the news that several foreign colonial
ton schemes are being pushed to con-
summation and these have for their
basis the converting of large areas Of
land into small farms and colonizing
them with Europeans trained in soil
culture under similar conditions. A
society formed in the United States
known as the Polish National Alliance
is capitalized at 100000 for the pur-
pose of aiding their countrymen to
come to America and take lands in
colonies, and some of the great Eng
lish landlords have recently been pros
pecting in the Pacific Northwest to
purchase lands to enable their ten
ants to come here and take the lands
in small holdings and give it the in
tensive cultivation they are used to
giving the lands they have been cult
waiting in England Such move
ment as this will force the movement
already begun in this county and en-
courage the division of lands into
small holdings and the more careful
cultivation of the soil.

LIGHT is BREAKING AT RENO

There has a wall gone out frof
Reno that shows the whole divorce
colony has been shaken to the very
center over the ruling from Judge
that no more DEGREES will be awarded
to men or women coming to the city
with affinities. This is the first sign of
an awakened conscience in Reno over
matter pertaining to divorce and there
is a vague sense of fear on the part
of the members of the colony that it
may be the beginning of the end.
Those who hold the marriage tie
lightly and are given over to the al
lurement of fitting through life at
tached temporarily to this or that af-
fnity have made Reno the Mecca of
frequent plgrimages, and the votaries
who worship at that shrine have been
so Indifferent to the laws and GUS
toms of the land and the convention
alities of society as to convert the col
ony into a turtledove cote while they
waited for the courts to declare that
it was off with the old love.
81 do not intend to be used as a
cats paw and assist in securing a de-
cree for q woman when she comes
to Reno with an affinity" Judge Orr
is quoted as saying this week when he
dismissed a divorce in which the af-
inity played a conspicuous place. The
scandal monger at Reno has plenty
of material at all times of the year.
The respectable public has long since
ceased to wonder, but this is the first
instance where the courts have shown
any indication of drawing the line,
The announcement has been that di
vorces could be secured while you
wait, and the waiting time has been
made pleasant by freedom of associa-
ton with the new affinity.
Public opinion has long since con-
demned Reno and ostraCised the di-
vorce colony but this is the first re-
corded instance where there has been
any intimation the courts were begin
ming to have any compunctions of con-
science concerning any of the grist
that went through the divorce mills.
There is a glimmer of hope in the an
nouncement.

SAYS THAT YAKIMA
IS NOT WELL KNOWN
Hotel Man Has Different View
point From Seattle Expert on
the Publicity Question

Ben Norman of Tacoma, one of the
proprietors of the Yakima hotel here,
writing to DR.. Kloeber, recorded his
disappointment in finding the Yakima
valley so little known in Great Brit
ain. Mr.. Norman has but recently
returned from a trip abroad and he
appears to have been greatly impress
ed with the fact that while Hood
River and Wenatchee and other fruit
producing sections of Washington and
Oregon have considerable of a repu-
tation in Great Britain, this valley, so
far as he was able to discover, is
practically unknown, except, perhaps,
to a few dealers. Mr.. Norman has
written to friends here before on this
subject and the answer the Yakima
people have made is that the fruit
business from this valley to Great
Britain is larger than from any other
valley in the Northwest and is grow
ing
Advertising the State
Advertising Washington products as
state products is one of the things
which was suggested to the members
of the Commercial club here a few
nights ago by Rufus Wilson, secretary
of the Seattle Commercial club, who
called attention to the fact that Flor
ida and California oranges are known
by their state and not as Riverside Or
anges or Miami oranges. Similarly
Colorado apples are known as such
and not as Paradise Valley apples
Mr.. Wilson outlined a plan of COM
munity cooperation in publicity which
gives each district an equal chance
with every other district, provided it's
people are wideawake and alert to
take advantage of the openings made
for them
In the British market this summer
American peaches were sold and it
was only the particular inquirer who
learned that they were from Wash
ington and only the very particular
inquirer who learned they were from
Wenatchee. Apart from the buyers,
it is said, there is but little INJURY
as to where the fruit is grown.

ANTT-SMUT CAMPAIGN
Washington State College Sends Out
Smut Bulletins

PULLMAN, Oct 16.-The loss to
farmers of the wheat belt in WASH
ington, Idaho and Oregon from smut
in the wheat crop of 1912 is esti-
mated by the Chief Grain Inspector
of Washington to amount to $1,000
900. This enormous loss has led to
the organization of a definite "Anti-
Smut Campaign" The leaders in
this movement recently met in con-
vention at Pullman to discuss the sit
uation and to plan for a systematic
campaign Of education, experimental
ton and organization to eradicate
this costly pest. AS a result of their
deliberations, the following conclu-
sions were reached: -
The increased prevalence of smut
is due largely to the increase in acre
age of fall-sown wheat, as fall-sown
grain is more susceptible to the
disease than spring grown, but spring
grain is not, entirely free from the
trouble.
Smut infection comes mostly from
smutty seed, but weather and soil
conditions influence the amount of
infection, and there is a possibility
of infection from smut in the ground
If very smutty grain has been recent
ly threshed near by.
Solutions for treating seed wheat
should be carefully made in certain
definite proportions. Some wheat
growers have been successful while
using haphazard methods, but they
are men whose long experience en-
ables them to guess very accurate
ly the strength of solutions used.
Safety lies in exactly measured
strengths.
The strength of vitriol solution is
one pound of vitriol Cooper sulphate
or "bluestone") to five gallons of wa
ter. Wheat should be soaked in this
solution for not less than ten nor
more than fifteen minutes. Some sue
cessful farmers have used as strong
as one pound of vitriol to two and
one-half gallons of water, soaking
not more than ten minutes. without
serious injury to the wheat. Toe
strong solution or too long soaked
will kill the wheat.
Formalin should be used one pound
to forty-five gallons water the wheat
thoroughly wetted by dipping OF
sprinkling. then covered with wet
sacks for two hours, then either
seeded at once or allowed to dry
thoroughly.
Unbroken smut balls must be re.
moved from seed wheat AS no meth
cd of treatment destroys the germs
in these balls, and If later broken in
the seed wheat they infect the grain
Experiments by the Experiment
Station and by practical farmers will
be begun this fall to determine what
solutions are most efficient and what
conditions must be guarded against
Complete eradication OF smut BY
the united effort of every wheat
grower Us the surest protector
against the pest

AGITATION FOR GOOD ROADS

There is no movement in the United
States more general than the move
ment for the improvement of the
highways. In every state of the I'm
looking toward the improvements of
the roads State legislatures are be-
ing importuned and associations local
and state wide are seeking to cooper
ate to bring about some concerted ac-
ton that will lead to road improve
ment.
The demand for good roads is part
of the great conservation movement
that has swept over the country and
the great end to be aimed at is the
elimination of economic waste. Sta
tstics are multiplied to show that the
farmers of the country are losing an
nually millions of dollars because of
the bad roads they have to traverse
to get their products to market.
All of this is tax on the ultimate
consumer because he pays a market
transportation. The need for good
roads has been agitated for many
years but the progress made has been
slow because the effort was desultory,
but now that there is concerted ac-
ton there is more progress. The gov
ernor of the state of Missouri is tour
ing the state with an automobile car
avian and meeting the people to
preach to them directly the doctrine
of good roads, and there is a wave
of enthusiasm attending the meetings
His chief lieutenant for the trip is
the president of one of the trunk lines
of the state which shows that the
railroads are cooperating in the move
ment.
In the Pacific Northwest Idaho is
handicapped by finding that the law
passed at the last session of the legis-
lature was declared unconstitutional

enforced delay and the progress will
be more speedy when the way is once
clear. The Oregon good roads COM
mission recently reported and there
was a demand for an extra session
put the proposed laws into effect but
the pressure was not great enough to
force the issue.
Washington has made a beginning
but the progress has not kept up with
ne demand. The next Legislature wi
be asked to cure many defects in tho
present statute and to extend the pro
visions. In this connection comes III,
suggestion that national aid be Sc
cured. and while this it not new tn,
