POWER COUNTY
\ Is NOT POPULAR

H. Barber, editor Of the American
Falls Press.
The early part of the evening was
occupied by local citizens, called upon
in turn by President MacKinnon
Among those who declared themselves
as unequivocally and positively oppos-
ed to any further division of Bingham
county were Messrs E. L. Davis, Col
NJ. A. FugatC, G. A. Bartel, F. S.
Hoskins, ]. T. Dvorak, P. A. Fugate
and j. A. Toner. The only citizen Of
Aberdeen who took the other side of
the argument and who seemed to de-
sire county division was John r.
Foulks. who was willing to give Power
county the lower half of township 6,
range 81 and the lower half of town
ship 6, range 30. He declared that a
majority Of the people living within
the territory described were in favor
of the division outlined and that they
should be given an opportunity to de-
eide for themselves whether theyshould
remain in Bingham county or go into
the new county. But little objection
was raised to this plan, but at the
conclusion of the session when a ris-
ing vote was taken on the original
question whether or not there should
be any division of Bingham county,
Mr.. Foulks rose with the rest of the
audience and the vote was declared to
be unanimous against county partition.
District Judge StevensA Represent
tives Johnston and Dickinson, and in
fact all of the visitors from Blackfoot,
availed themselves OF the opportunity
to speak against county division and
at one time when the talk took turn
toward taxation matters, all of them
were busy answering rapid fire Of
questions from Mr.. Foulks and other
local citizens. This part Of the meet.
! Ing was decidedly interesting and had
the effect of prolonging the session
to a late hour.
AS a result of tho meeting it may
be said that SO far as the atti.
tude of the people CT the village OF
Aberdeen and the Immediately sur
rounding country is concerned there
Is positively no sentiment in favor OF
county division.
1t seemed to be the general con-
sensus of opinion, however, that II
the people who live in the south malt
Of township 6. 80 and 81 are in a ma
jority in their decision to go over to
Power county that nothing should be
laid in their way. Senator-elect d.

IDAHO MAY TAKE NO PART
IN THE BIG EXPOSITION
Action Of California In Placing a
Quarantine On Alfalfa From This
State the Cause Of Trouble.

That the attitude OF California to-
wards Idaho in relation to the quar-
antine of Idaho alfalfa, preventing the
shipment of this product from points
in this state to California, will have
to change before there will be over-an-
xiety on the part of this state
to appropriate funds for the erection

of exhibits either at San Francisco
or San Diego, is evident from the
attitude not only assumed by members.

officials, including the present gov
ernor and governor-elect.
l. G. Lewis, representative of the
San Diego exposition, and George e.
Boos, commissioner Of the Panama
Pacific International exposition at San
Francisco, were the two represents
tives who dropped into Boise to review
the situation with reference to the
favorabiliity of securing an appropria-
tion or appropriations fer their exposi-
tons. It was then learned that Idaho
had been having trouble with Califor.
mia over the alfalfa quarantine, and
that Idaho's crop had been barred from
passing through California, or even en-
tering the state. Every effort has
been made to secure all order lift.
ing the quarantine. and the Idaho
state officials have even gone so far
as to offer to pay the expenses of the
California officials if they would come
to Idaho and make an investigation
of the alleged weevil to exist in the
crop Of this state.
California's attitude, it is claimed
has not made many friends here, and
the special representatives Of the ex
hibitiOns were SO informed. The sit
uation that confronted them was ar
entirely new one, and they were there
fore taken by surprise. 1t is probable
that q change Of front on the part ol
California may result in the present
embarrassing; situation being fixed uI
to the satisfaction Of all parties con
cerned. The fact that state officials
declared to the exposition represen
tatives that they did not like
the attitude of California in the quar-
antine matter may play a prominent
part in the present trouble, it is
claimed.

John Dillon had loved and wood
Enid Vance, not SO much from the
finer workings of the masculine heart
tives. He had selected Enid as a
fitting mate. Her cheeks were Grim
son with the vigor OF health and her
step elastic. To associate her with
the rearing of anything but a fine
race Of men was to doubt truth
itself.
With this In view Dillon had pro-
she having chosen to bestow her hand
and heart upon the less serious minded
Billy Langhorn.
The week following the blasting of
his hopes found Dillon escaping into
the country where he wanted TO for
get the vital expression of Ends eyes
and the crimson of her lips. Then,
too, his book upon Child Life and
Modern Parentage" would progress the
quicker for the seclusion OF the coun-
try lanes.
1t was in the heart of the woods,
while he was thus engrossed, that
wan-eyed, anemic, Elsie Lane passed
him by.
John Dillon cast but a fleeting
glance at her; he was in no way in
terested in girls since Enid had turned
him down, and least of all would care
to rest his eyes upon the dropping,
listless figure of Elsie Lane.
The girl, in turn, watched him
with covert scrutiny. Rumor had it
that this man was going about the
village expressing more or less unfat-
tering opinions regarding the lack Of
well-balanced, healthy women in the
world.
Elsie had taken these opinions as
personal. Beneath the temporary list
lessness of her manner there was a
something that had caught fire at his
words. Elsie realized that she herself
was wan-eyed and pale, but that was
because her heart was broken and
her life ruined. Hadn't her father re-
fused to let her marry Jack Rollins?
Although she was incensed at John
Dillon for his slurring remarks, she
realized that he was a splendid man,
who was striving TO produce a better

race Of people. Together with her ad-
miration there was a desire to avenge
her sex in his eyes.
When she arrived home after seeing
Dillon, she informed her father that
she intended taking possession of the
little cottage beside the woods.
IL want to try the outdoor life, dad
dy, and raise chickens and eat car
rots."
Her father glanced quickly at her
from under heavy eyebrows. Had his
daughters mind finally given way un-
der the strain? Would it have been
better to let her throw herself away
on a worthless scamp than?
Elsie's laugh interrupted his
thoughts. He breathed a sigh Of re-
lief. 1t was the old-time spontaneous
laugh that he had longed for.
'T only want to get back to pink
roses-here," she told him, laying a
finger on her pale cheeks, "and there
is nothing in the world like carrots" I"
1t was thus that John Dillon, pass
ing the cottage on his way to the
woods, saw a girl groveling in the
garden with trowel and spade. He
raised his hat when she smiled at him
from beneath her lashes. because he
remembered having met her at one of
the village musicales.
Three weeks later he saw her again
and this time stopped to admire the
riot of flowers she had planted beside
the wide veranda.

suggested happily. You look too SOM
