CITIZENS MEETING
HELD ON MONDAY
FIFTY MEN OF PROMINENCE IN
VICINITY DISCUSS SUBJECTS
OF INTEREST TO RESIDENTS
OF BINGHAM COUNTY. ROSS
FORK ROAD, COUNTY DIvis-
ION AND OTHER SUBJECTS.

A meeting of the citizens Of this
city was held last Monday afternoon
for the purpose Of discussing subjects
of much importance to the people in
general.
Hon. Samuel ]. Rich, immigr, tion
commissioner, called the meeting to
order, and explained the object OF
the gathering together of the bushes;
men of the community. Subjects Tor
discussion were the construction OF
the Ross Fork road, the division OF
Bingham county-both on the north
and south ends, and the sale OF the
asylum lands between Murhhey's
and the county road.
P. w. Powers was chosen perma'
nent chairman of the organization.
and w. G. Craig, secretary.
The first subject discussed was the
taking of of Power county from the
south end of the county, and it was
quickly decided that such a move
would not receive the sanction OF the
residents of this community.
Secondly. the division of Bingham
county on the north was voted down.
hy all present except five. excepting
that the subject be submitted to the
people and that the definite boundry
be given.

community before the state legisla-
ture. Hon. S. ]. Rich was appointed
and a fund of $4,000 was raised to
defray Mr.. Rich's expenses to BOISE
in behalf of the road.
The sale of the asylum lands was
discussed, and it was decided that II
would be most advantageous to the

ing in everyone's mind that much
good had been accomplished.

STATE BRIDGES

MAND ACCOUNTABLE. KEN
NEDY TRYING TO FIND OUT
LET FOR SURPLUS STOCK.

State bridges carrying with them
liberal appropriations from the state
treasury, are in demand during the
present session of the legislature for
there are more bridge bills before
both houses at the present time
than there were introduced during
the entire session two years ago.
The following are some of the de-
mands:
Canyon county-rBrigde across the
Snake river to a point near Payette.
Elmore county-Bridge across the
Snake river at a point between
Glemns Ferry and Mountain Home.
: Lincoln county-Bridge across the
Snake river between Lincoln and

HORSE MARKET
IS ON DECLINE
FLOODED WITH
BILLS FOR STATE BRIDGES
ALL ASKING FOR THE MONEY
TO BE APPROPRIATED FOR
TO BUILD THEM. SEVEN
COUNTIES IN THE LISTS.

E. M. Kennedy, who has bought
and shipped horses from this locali-
ty for number Of years past, has
been trying this fall, to find AIN out
let for some of our surplus horses.
Every market has replied to him
that there was an unusual supply on
hand and that prices were down
from twenty-five to fifty per cent
to what they have been for the past
two or three years.
Local demand is the cause of the
high prices locally end not the mar
ket demand But few horses have
been shipped from here in the past
two years on account of prOhibitory
prices. We like to see our people
get good prices for everything, but
but we believe horses are one thing
that are too high. We think that
any farmer can afford to stay in
the horse business if he c-m realize
$125.OO average for a 5-yoar-old, 400
pound horse.
Good quality draft horses ere still
fair price but the small kind is
suffering a heavy decline of more
than fifty per cent. What you must
do is to grow fewer and better
quality and then put them in market
able condition.

indeed, for a writer to describe the
many pleasant features Of a poultry
show, but chief among the things to
appeal to all, is the fact that there
is as much attention being paid to
the raising of line of thoroughbred
stock, and the organization may be
the first step toward the forming of
a stock association, which will have
for it's object the cultivation of bet
ter line of farm animals and fowls.

HIGH WATERS DELAY
TRAFFIC ON SHORT LINE.

With the recent heavy fall of snow
and the change of atmospheric condi-
tions Immediately following, the Snak
River valley is at present enjoying
time that should be in strict ac-
cordance with the idea of the local
optionists.
Streams everywhere are over run
ming their banks and there is water
enough cOursing over all the country
roads to do all the irrigating for
the ensuing year.
At Ross Fork over one hundred feet
of Short Line track has been washed
out, and traffic has been at a stand
still for the past two days. The
transfer of passengers by boat from
the trains on the two ends of the
break has been made and that is a.
bout all Of the business being done.
AS though to make its last stand
ere the white mann enters the land
of the red men, Ross Fork creek
has gone on a tear, and is having
one grand, glorious and gloomy time.
The damage done will be repaired
within the next day and traffic >e-
sumed.

Thus speaks the little brown hen
to the long legged rooster, who is
helping to make the initial show of
Southeastern Idaho's Poultry associa-
ton, one of the finest.
Up to o'clock today, there were

of the city hall, where the exhibit
is being held, is filled with sight
seers, who have been brought to
Blackfoot because of the poultry ex-

YOU SHOULD
STUDY AT
HOME
OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
MAKE BETTER PROGRESS IF
DOING THEIR STUDIES OUT
SIDE OF SCHOOL HOURS. UP
TO PARENTS TO RENDER
ASSISTANCE,

1t is NOW the time of year th.t
students can do their best work. The
teachers are striving to do better,
NOR thorough and greater work
now thEn at any other time during
the year. 1t is necessary, absolutely
so,-that each child above the third
grade, do some work at home every
day. Parents can do much toward the
good of the school and the pupils
therein, if they will insist upon "a reg
luar study period at home every
might. The mere habit is of value foI
the child who forms the habit of
home study, or home reading, will b.
content to stay at home evenings; he
will not desire to run. to town as soon
as the supper over each evening
This habit of contentment at home
is worth a vast amount to every one
and it is in childhood that fixed h b.
its are formed.
Just now there is special necessity
of every high school student doing
several hours work each week at
home. Parents depend upon it, if
your son or daughter does not pre-
pare at least one lesson esch evening
after school hours, that he is not do
ing work that is at all satisfactory
to the teachers. 1t is not necessary
to send out special notices of your
chlld's poor standing in classes for
you may know from the amount of
home study, the progress that pupil
is making. Certainly it is better for
your boy to be at home with book
than down town with cue Rnd ciga-
rette and he is NOW permitted to en-
joy both of the latter although there
is Ia city ordinance against at least
one of the pastimes.
There are no two ways about this
matter, your son, nor the som of
your neighbor can do good school
work while he lofts around the town
every night. The school ask your CO
operation in this matter and feels it
Is reasonable to expect hearty re-
SpOnSe from all who have the interest
of their children at heart. Teachers
can insist upon the close attention to
duties while the pupils are in school
but without some insistence on the
part Of parents there is apt to- grow
up AN idea among pupils that the
| work concerns no one save the teach
er and as soon as she is out of sight,
school duties are forgotten.
| 1t is certainly one of parents
| functions to give their unqualified
support to all efforts that tend tow
ard their child's development. Then
why let these things run slack any
longer?. The teachers need your
help and should by all means have it.
Give it now.
