BACK FROM OMAHA.

j. D. Samworth of Arco spent
Thursday in town on his way home
from Omaho where he went with a
shipment of 1888 sheep for c. d.
LaFever. He says his shipment was
handled we'll by the railroad people,
and the only losses were due to get
ting 100 many in some of the cars on
the first run. They lost 26 from
this cause.
Marcus Farmer went east with the
same shipment for pleasure trip,
and visited relatives in Missouri and
Kansas. He said he had fine time,
and added, Between Teddy and my
self we had them going some down
in Kansas and old Missoo. The en-
thusiosm for Teddy is waning rap
idly wherever he visited in those
parts, and people are choosing be-
tween Taft and WILSON,
M. N. Austin VINO went east WIFI
C. c. Davison's stock, spent a month
in Kansas, and was at Topeka when
Roosevelt visited that place. He
said that after he had gone people
were giving him all sorts of c.iti-
cism, and the common expression
was that those who were for him be-
fore he came were indifferent or de-
c'dedly against him after he had
passed, He came with crouch and
took enough of it with him to supply
the next meeting, and thus give, out
the impression that he knows he Is
already beaten.

TO ORGANIZE LOCAL BUILDING
AND LOAN SOCIETY.

Local mutual building and loan
associations that do not go beyond
their own localities to seek business
have proven great blessing for the
communities where established. They
are run in an inexpensive way and
pay large profits to the share holders
whether they are borrowers or not
They enable the business man or the
wage Garner to erect their buildings
or homes at cost approximately the
same as rent. They enable the cap
italist or wage Garner to set aside a
small amount of money each month
at large rate of interest on the very
best of security-sums which could
not be invested in any other way.
These associations are incorporat-
ed under the state laws and are man.
aged by board of seven directors
elected by the stockholders who also
adopt their own bylaws, rules and
regulations. In fact they are strictly
local organization and have no con-
nection with any outside branch.
Mr.. Chas. L. Rarmer of Laramie,
Wyo.. who makes business of pro-
noting such associations, is in our
city. He has associated with him
Mr.. F. N. Parkinson of Blackfoot,
and in few days they will COM
mence the solicitation of stock for
such an association for Blackfoot.
Last years reports show that there
were 5,713 such associations in the
United States, with a membership Of
2,169,893 and total assets amount
ing to 1891, ,S67,175.. The report
shows an increase over the previous
year of ia associations 96,394
members and $72,156,966 in assets.
Many of the states are now pass
ing laws which practically exclude
foreign associations, doing business
on the so-called national plan. from
their states. Idaho should have a
law to protect her citizens against
the deceptions practiced by these for
eign associations. Many people in
Blackfoot have been swindled by
them.

SUGAR FACTORY STARTS.

The local Sugar Factory begins
their fall campaign tomorrow, Sat
urday, with 1900 acres of beets to
grind. During the summer they ex-
tended 100000 putting in new ma
chinery and making repairs. The
old system of taking out the lime and
waste from the juice has been re-
placed by what is known among
sugar as the Kelley system and WIS.,
itors at the factory will notice that
eight tanks, each having a capacity
of about 500 gallons, are occupying
the place whe4 the old presses were.
These tanks do the work more rapid
ly and with less operating expense
than the old presses did. The cap
acity of the factory has been in
creased from 800 tons to 700 tons
daily. ..--1. .-.-4 .-ee,ag1-r,ay .r,. ~
A machine has been installed to
pick the trash out of the canal where
the beets are floated into the factory.
Many leaves and weeds travel with
the beets, and add to the expense of
treatment, and the new machine is
expected to lay them out on a car
r'er and deliver them back on the
yards.
The work at the factory is under
the supervision of Supt. w. H. Var
ley. and the field work under field
Supt. George H. Smith, sometimes
called Sugar Smith, partly to dis
tinguish him from lot of other
Smiths, and partly on account of his
sweet disposition.
The fires have been started in the
furnaces and will not be allowed to
die out until holidays. All fall the
smoke rolling from the big smoke
stack will serve to remind people of
something that President Mckinley
said, "The grandest cloud that hangs
over any country is the smoke from
the chimneys of it's factories" This
locality will be hard hit if change
of administration should result in re-
moving the protective tariff on sugar.
