crowds of people. A small admission
will be charged which, after deducting
the expenses of the exhibits, will be
used in the purchasing of pictures
for wall decoration for our public
schools.
People throughout the country are
awakening to the value of good art
as creative of refining influence and
inspiring atmosphere. And SO surely
as people become familiar with the
best in art, just so quickly will the
crude in art be displaced through
appreciation of something better.
This exhibit will be held at one
of the leading churches. Committees
have planned something by way of
instruction and entertainment to be
given every evening in conjunction
with the pictures.
These pictures are of interest to
young and old. They are expected
to attract and instruct large numbers
of people. Everyone should come.

On Tuesday evening the knights
of Pythias entertained their grand
chancellor, G. G. Martin, of Caldesac,
Idaho, who was here on an official
visit. They made it the occasion
for a general gathering of the clans
and little spread of material re-
freshments following the feast of
friendship which the genial ehancel-
lor brought with him.
In his remarks 1t was to be ex-
pc ted that he would say he was
glad to be again with them in Black
foot where he had met them at the
time of the grand lodge meeting Of
last May, but he created genuine
surprise and a thrill of pride and
pleasure when he said: Wherever
l go meet men and women who had
the good fortune to be here and share
with me the good times that Black
foot gave us. They always refer to
that meeting as one Of the bright
spots In our fraternal work and freat-
|ernal experience. Whenever they
speak of Blackfoot they speak of The
Messiah and whenever anybody men
tions The Messiah they speak of
Blackfoot. OF course they all came
here expecting to be shown a good
time, but the memory of that grand
musical entertainment at which we
were guests of honor, will always be
with us. / had the pleasure this
afternoon of visiting the Rowdon
studio and hearing Professor Row.
don sing, and Miss Terry play some
Of those exquisite numbers that she
renders, and that alone repaid me
for coming to your town"
He gave them another pleasant
surprise when he referred to the cleo
tion of officers at the coming annual
meeting at Standpoint. He said he
fully expected that Blackfoot man
will be elected grand chancellor, and
referred to vice grand chancellor w.
H. Danilson who is in line to sue
ceed him in the highest position
the state domain can give him.
Major Estep, the new superintend-
ent of Indian affairs at Ross Fork,
was invited to speak. He responded
royalty, and made friends by the
dozen on the spot. Besides talking
of lodge matters he spoke of the
prospects of Ross Fork being brought
nearer to Blackfoot this summer by
the road construction that is about

to begin. He said it has been re-
ported in some of the newspapers
that he had taken steps to obstruct
the road work by raising the question
of Jurisdiction as between the state
and federal government, and that
this report was entirely without foun-
dation. He said he had been in the
newspaper business himself and knew
the difficulties Of supplying all the
news without being taken advantage
of and publishing things that were
not true. He said jokingly that
only half of what appears in the pa
pers is literally true anyway. That
he is as anxious as anybody to ami
hilate the sand road and be in posi-
ton to visit often where they have
the intellectual feasts that SO often
take form in the Grove City.
A. J. Stephens of Ross Fork will
attend the grand lodge this year from
BlackfOOt.
When the guests were seated at the
banquet tables huge cake confront
ed Chancellor Martin on which was
the inscription in letters of sweets,
the whole thing being the handiwork
of Frank Siegel of the Idaho Bakery,
that read: TX. of P. Athenian Lodge,
No. A, Blackfoot, Idaho, Bids You
Welcome" The cake was a present
to Mr.. Martin, and he shipped it
home to show his friends and home
lodge.

say this article is only half true. He
had better hide.

A Newspaper
Man Accused

Chas. p. Diehl was arrested last
week at Twin Falls charged with
using the mails to defraud his custo-
mers. The arrest was made by Har-
ry G. DIETRICH, the Deputy U. s. Mar
shall.
Diehl has been engaged in photo
graphy and printing business in an
irregular way in Utah and Idaho for
many years, having published The
Times at Idaho Falls in 1903, and
been associated with several new pa
pers in Southern Idaho the past year
or two. He has spent some seasons
travelling about getting views OF
mountain scenery, and in 1904 the
writer ran across him in Chicago,
learning some intricate details of
photography and printing that did
not appeal to S as being very much
in demand in country printing
houses.
The story of his alleged fraud as
we get it now is that for ten years
or so he has been in the habit of
watching for obituaries of well-to-do
men In eastern states, and soon after
a man was buried, SO the story goes,
Diehl would write letter to the man
informing him In a mattcr-of-fact
way that everything was running all
right at the mine and that the pro-
perty was showing up in every way
about as expected.
This letter falling into the hands
of the heirs would open up clue
to investments that they had mot
known the deceased had been making
and he not being alive to express his
surprise or to deny the existence of
mining property in his name, the
inquiry would be taken up through
the very matter-of-fact agent, Mr..
Diehl, who would make it known to
them that some of the stock had mot
yet been made out to the deceased, /,
the last payment not being due until
about certain time, and that upon
the payment of the balance, amount

Idaho Men
Are Indicted

A federal grand jury at Spokane
has indicted D. w. Standrod. A. B.
Moss. l. B. Perrine and Paul s. A.
Bickel, all prominent and wealthy
business men of Idaho. on a charge
of using the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses.
These men had invested in stock
of the Idaho Hardwood company
which planned to plant eucalyptus
trees in the San Joaquin valley in
California, and other men in whom
they had confidence, went on selling
stock and these men now under in
dictment were made officers of the
company. 1t seems that the men sell
ing stock made some misrepresenta-
tions in their advertising matter, and
when 1t came to the attention of Mr..
Standrod and Mr.. Moss they did all
they could 10 stop Misrepresentation
prevent the payment of money on the
notes and contracts. and to bring the
work of the company up to the repre-
sentations as they had been made
as nearly as was possible.
1t was such an attractive invest
ment that the men selling stock seem
to have become reckless and gone
beyond what their associates expected.

S. j. Rich, commissioner of immi
grafton for Idaho, returned Monday
from trip to Salt Lake City, and
reported that he had taken up a
number of matters with officials OF
the Oregon Short Line looking to
better advantages for eastern Idaho
in showing our resources to travellers
and homeseekers.
He had a long conference with
General Passenger Agent D. e.
Burley on stop-over privileges for
through travel to the coast, and the
matter of changing the schedule for
the Yellowstone Special so that all
tourists passing through Idaho to
the Yellowstone Park shall make the
trip in daylight instead of in the
night as heretofore.
Mr.. Rich was surprised to learn
that Mr.. Burley has been as anxious
as anybody to bring this about, but
there are physical reasons why it can
not be done yet. The hotel accom-
modations in the park are not such
that this can be done now, but plans
are under way to reach it, Last year
a large hotel was built at Grand Can
yon, and plans have been adopted
for one at Yellowstone which they

ing to whatever sum Diehl named,
the transfer could be made and the
stock delivered to the heirs.
Upon this very welcome informa-
tion being received there was gener-
ally mo time lost in making the re-
mittance to complete the payments,
and the stock in some unknown and
unknowable mining company would
be immediately made out and for
warded to the expectant heirs, Mr..
Diehl doing the whole job, printing
and all.
1t is reported that Mr.. Diehl has
j st received the appointment to
handle as sales agent, $4,000 acres
of Carey land in Owhee County on a
liberal commission, and while the
charges of fraud are pending it is
likely this appointment will be held
up.
