Mr. Byrd Trego,
Blackfoot, Idaho. ~ ~
Dear Sir:-Yours of Oct. 30th re.
ceived. The MAD River" was un-
doubtedly South Fork of Snake river.
The trail which Hunt followed going
west crossed low divide from Green
river to head of Hoback's river and
down that to South Fork. This en-
pties into South Fork just below
Jackson's Hole and at the head of
what is called the Grand Canon of
South Fork. AS | understand, this
canon is only about IL miles long,
that is the part navigable for boats.
John Days river empties in just at
the lower end of the canon and Salt
river only two or three miles further
down. Mouth of Salt river is nearly
on Idaho-Wyoming line. have been
all along South Fork up to Mouth
of John Days river, and from Heise5s
Springs to Mouth of Salt river. It
cannot be over SIS miles at the out
side. 1t is the diagonal of six town
ships on a straight line which is 50H
miles, and the river is nearly straight.
So it is hard to understand how they
put in six days floating down where
there must be an average sixe-mile
current. can only account for these
discrepancies by the notes being edi-
ted second hand. The hot spring spo-
ken of must have been Heise's as
there Is no other In that vicinity. So
they must have left the raft some
distance above. They climbed the
ridge to the north and looked across
Teton basin to the "Pilot Knobs"
1.-THE three Tetons) and you notice
that the hunter spoke of this stream
(Teton river) as emptying into Hen
rvs river North Fork) about half
way between Henry's Fort and juno
ton of North and South Fork. So
that gives another clue to the loca
Etion. In the later days there must
have been two mouths to the Teton
river several miles apart, and we
have no way of knowing whether
both existed then, and If so which |
was the main channel. This is all
very interesting to me and 1 would |
like to go over the ground again with |
this subject in view. My idea is that
the old fort was about opposite Sugar
City or little above.
Yours sincerely,
4 j. M. TAYLOR.

Byrd Trego,

Byrd Trego,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Dear Sir:-Yours of Oct. 21st re-
ceived. Ed. Henry and l., when 1t
was too late, tried to approximate the
location of Fort Henry, as We thought
that was probably the first building
erected within the present state
boundary. The nearest we could esti-
mate the location was from the des-
cription in Washington Irving's CAS-
toria," chapter XXXII ! think, where
it tells of Hunts party stopping there
making canoes and embarking on
the river, reaching junction with
South Fork in a few hours or at
least In the course Of the first day.
They must have started below st.
Anthony as no mention Is made Of
the rapids there which would have
required portage. So we judged
the location was somewhere from
ave to ten miles below st. Anthony.
/ have no doubt we could have found
the exact location If we had looked
carefully, even as late as 1890, as
very little Of the land there had been
farmed then along the river, and
though we don't know when or how
the buildings were destroyed, they
were most likely burned and pieces
of Charcoal would remain indefinitely.
1t might be possible even yet to find
some traces-especially If the ground
has been cultivated. The plow may
have turned up some relic. Since |
have been interested in the matter
l have never had an opportunity to
go over the ground. In Irving's
notes of Bonneville-s trips he gives
no help in locating Fort Henry,
though he was undoubtedly there
more than once. II you know any
one in st. Anthony or Rexburg who
is interested, they might go over the
ground. If l were anywhere on that
side of the state, would like to go
myself.
Yours sincerely,
J. M. TAYLOR.

BLACKFOOT HIGH SCHOOL
ACTIVITIES


(Reported by X. N. PARKINSON
At last our fondest hopes and de-
sires are realized. We have high
school orchestra!
The organization is complete, con-
sisting of three violins, two comets,
two clarinets, one drum and the pi-
ano. Their first concert will be at
the opening of the new high school
building. Mr.. Lee is the director.
We have an excellent business de-
partment. :. complete course in
bookkeeping, typewriting and short
hand is given. Already there are 80
enrolled in bookkeeping and As TAX
ing shorthand and typewriting. Ev-
cry day new students are entering
this important branch of study. Mr.
Lee is instructor, and is certainly ma
king a record for himself as well as
for the school. Besides being an ex-
cellent director and instructor, Mr..
Lee is a pianiste and singer of no
mean ability.
We have excellent talent for a fac
ulty male quartette. Mr.. Vanderhoof
is one of the foremost soloists of the
town. Messrs. Benson and Mcdonald
have excellent bass voices.
During the past week the question
for our winter debate was received
from Moscow. and preparations are
being made for the season. The
question decided upon was, "Resolv-
ed that the United States should gov
ern the immigration into our country
by compelling all foreigners to pass
a satisfactory examination in reading
and writing English.
The game with Idaho Falls will
be played on Saturday. whether rai1
or shine, and on the following Sat-
urday, the winner is to play Poca-
tello for the championship of eastern
Idaho. ..4
A trainload of rooters is expected
to come down from the Falls for our
Saturdays game, so :Werexpectra good
turnout from our townspeople to
cheer the boys on to victory, which
we are certain to win.
All interest is now being turned to-
ward the high school lecture course
for the winter. This course will con-
sist of five numbers, the lrst being
given on November 20, in the new
high school auditorium. The speaker
for the evening will be Mr.. Edmund
Vance Cooke, considered Americas
foremost poet and humorist. !, Mr..
Cooke needs no recommendation,
nearly everybody having read some
one or other of his poems. His lee
ture will consist entirely of his own
poems. To bring these entertainers
here is costing a lot of money. How
ever, tickets have been placed at the
lowest possible figure in order. to al
low the citizens of Blackfoot to re-
ceive the treat of their lives.
Til price of season tickets has been
placed at $3.50. Already many of
them have been sold, so in order for
the people of Blackfoot to hear these
lectures they must buy early. The
price of single admission is SO cents.
Tickets will be on sale in the high
school building or can be procured
from Kenneth Parkinson.

AS TO BRiBED INSPIRATION.

There is legend of the Coliseum,
says the Los Angeles Times. Some
foreign ambassadors were about re-
turning to their homes when Greg
DRY the Great presented them, as a
gift for their several sovereigns, a
handful of earth from the arena Of
the Coliseum. The ambassadors. dis
appointed, at the meagerness of tire
present. refused to receive it and
drew back with expressions of disre-
respect. Whereupon the sgreat pope
stretched forth his hand and pressed
the sand with his closing fingers And
p-drip-drip-the blood OF the
martyrs which had hallowed il in
the cruel years of bloodshed and fire
dropped to the ground at the feet of
the embassy
Something like that there is that
lives in a national hymn. Such d
hymn is not composed" in a prize
poem contest. II is the breath of the
national life. And it isn't worth $50.
1t isn't worth 10 cents. 1t isn't
worth" anything.

MAR|C0PA LEADS
IN TAXABLE WEALTH
s21,oooooo.
An Increase Over Last Year OF
1929, 1851.

Maricopa with s2f 100, 900 Will lead all
other counties in the territory in the
matter of property valuation for tax
able purposes. This will BE- an in
crease of 1929, 1851 over the valua-
| alton of year ago. Cochiss then, as
for three years before. was the leader
but its valuation has fallen slightly
this year so that it is only little more
| than $19,000,000. 1t is believed that
there'll be about $4,000, 900 added to the
territorial valuation so that there ought
to be a decided lowering of the tax rate
for both county and territorial pur-
poses.
The greater part OF the Increase in
this county is made on improvements
though there is ten per cent raise on
| land.
An important Item in the increase
comes from the property OF tie Mesa
Improvement company, better known as
the Chandler property south of Mesa
owned by DIR. y. j. Chandler and a
group of Michigan capitalists, includ-
ing D.. NJ. Ferry, the famous seed man
who secured possession Of it more than
twenty years ago. The new town of
Chandler on the line of the extension
of the Arizona Eastern south Of Mesa
lies in the heart of it.
This property consisting or about IS
600 acres was turned in at $14.OO an
acre for taxable purposes The board
of supervisors yesterday sitting as a
board of equalization raised The valua-
ton to 80 an acre, thus adding to the
total, s12S.OOO
The public utility corporations have
al come in for large increases, the
raises being based of course on their
increased business over last year. That
of the Pacific Gas * Electric COMPANY
will probably be s225.O 200. The valua-
ton Of the Phoenix Electric Railway.
computed in part upon its extensions
was raised from $4,000 to 10000.
Nothing of course can be done with the
telegraph and telephone companies as
the last legislature took them out of
the hands of the counties and cities, the
courts having recently passed upon a
suit to test the right IF the city to
collect from them.
Merchants stocks run higher this
year than last for the reason that they
are all larger.

AN EARNEST PROTEST
AGAINST MORE SALOONS
Especially on Washington Street Be-
tween Second and Third.

Residents, business me nand prop
erty owners interested in that section
of Washington street lying between
Second and Third are determined thai
there shall be no saloons there. APP
plications have been made for two sa-
loon licenses, the applicants intend
ing to locate one on each side of the
street. A large majority of the per-
sons directly interested have pro-
tested to the board of supervisors
against the granting of the licenses
and II is quite certain that it viii
not be done.
But in order to make assurance
doubly sure the following protest to
the city authorities has been pre-
pared:
To His Honor, the Mayor and Com
mon Council of the City of PhOe-
nix:
We desire at this time to enter our
protest against the granting of liquor
licenses for operating saloons at Nos.
225 and 23S East Washington Street.
Washington street, between Second
and Third Streets contains more re-
tail stores visited by women and chill
dren than any other block in the city.
In the course of u day hundreds of
women pass this block, and for this
reason and many others unnecessary
to mention, we most strenuously OBJ
ject to the granting of the licenses.
Phoenix at this time contains a
sufficient number of saloons without
starting new ones in a locality where
we have gotten along nicely without
them for over eight years and where
ninety per cent. of the tenants are
against them.
We trust your honorable body will
refuse to allow the issuance of Ii
censes at these locations or anywhere
on Washington street between Second
and Third streets. Respectfully sub
mitted,

Examples Of self sacrifice by Chris
danized Koreans are also among the
favorite narratives of the mission
aries. One story is that missionary
visited small church to hold quarter

mortgage of 500 on the church, but
learned that II was paid. This surprised
him, as he knew how poor the people

Brother VI. our leading men," said
one Of the congregation, could not
endure the thought that the house of
God should be in debt to a heather
money lender, so they put mortgages
on their own homes and lifted the
mortgage from the church"
