CHILDREN TO WELCOME
PRESIDENT IN POCATELLO

Secretary Coker of the Pocatello
Commercial club was in town early
this week discussing with the trus-
tees and faculty of the school details
for big parade of school children
in Pacatello on Friday to welcome
President Taft on the occasion of
his visit to the Gate City.
Pocatello is giving all outsiders a
chance of getting in with them to
welcome the President; even to the
break fast; for Blackfoot, county seat
of Bingham county will provide the
peaches, Bonneville county will fur
nish eggs, Fremont has been in
vited to furnish elk or bear meat
and Twin Falls will supply the
'spuds.' This is an excellent idea
and works along the lines of the
true community spirit which is 60
ing to build up this section of idaho.
Now referring to the children S
parade again, the Pocatello Com

mercial Club has got a large supply
OF flags which will be furnished to
the children with which to salute
the President: it is planned to either
have them line the sidewalks of the
thoroughfares through which the
President will pass or to mass them
at the school grounds where they
will be able to see and to hear their
President. The latter idea is the
most favored and will almost GER
tainly be adopted.
Arrangements have been in hand
for special trains to be run to Poca-
tello, a special rate is granted by
the Railroad Company and it is up
to every parent to give the children
chance to see and hear the "peo-
pies choice.
The special train from Blackfoot
will leave at about $40 to 700 a. m.
and will return from Pocatello about
$3.50 a. IN.

Immediately removed to the city
hospital, where an operation was
performed. and from which she was
recovering with a degree of rapidity
that was pleasing to every one. On
Monday afternoon she was permit
ted to sit up for short time, and at
0o'clock when Mr.. Merckley left
the hospital for the night, Mrs.
Merckley's condition was all that
could be desired. She was left by
all save the attendant to sleep a
sleep which was thought to be the
quietest that she had during her ill
ness. About o'clock Tuesday
morning she died, and her taking
away came as blow to nurses, ply
sicians and family.
At the time of her death she was
forty-eight years old, and together
with the other members of the FAM

ty about three years, coming from

wish to see Mr.. Taft will be excused
until the return of the excursion

The enrolment in the high school
still grows. After the deet and po-
tatoe harvest we will have the usual
number of new pupils added and
then we can boast Of the largest
high school in Idaho with the eXcep-
tiOn of Boise.
A complete arrangement of courses
of study for the High school is being
prepared for publication. 1t is pro-
posed to offer the following courses
which will meet the demands Of pu-
pills no matter what their future aims
may be. English Course, Latin
Course, Scientefic or Agricultural
Course, Commercial Course and a
Two Years StenOgrapher's Course.
The details of each of these will be
given later.
The total enrolment of the Black
foot School is just 81 more than last
year while the high sceool has 3.
more than at this time last wear.
There are more than fifty grade pu-
pills out at this time working i'm the
beets, when these have enrolled we
will have nearly 100 pupils more than
last year. This is a good substantial
growth for the school and cOmmu-
nifty.

homes of Blackfoot citizens fifteen
girls and seven boys who are work
