Railroad Company is Erecting Round
House Here

The material for the round house
which is to be erected at this point is
arriving and work has already COM
menced. The house will be built wi h
a capacity of holding four engines,
thus assuring us that it must be the
intentions Of the company to make
this point somewhat of a headquarters
in the near future. This will be of
great benefit to the railroad company,
as well as to the men employed, who
have for the past five years had to
take care Of the engines out in the
cold and snow and without shelter,
making it very unhandy for the work
men employed at this pace. The
building is being. located in the present

Election Locals

w. Orr Chapman is still out and
around and seems to not be effected
whatever.
The vote cast in the four precincts
was not exceedingly heavy in this city
and was not near as good as it should
have been. 4
The election excitement was very
low this election and there was no.
thing out of the way in general affairs
other than few celebrations.
If ever man should rightly have a
reward coming from another man for
services rendered, why shouldn't Teddy
receive reward from Wilson.
jamestown, Daniscn, Frestcn, and
Woodville precincts are still out and
at the present time we are unaware
Of the exact count at these places.
A few of the democraticI candidates
run with but one wheel chained while
some Of them used no chains at all,
for the muddy condition of the weather
James Good on the county republi-
can ticket for prosecuting attorney i
still going and with the four precincts
to still hear from will run his score
to the sky.
The democrats seem to be perfect
ly contented owing to the fact that
they won the presidential victory,
while the republican party seem to
be contented with the state victory.
Betting was high on the democra ic
candidates last Tuesday and we fear
that number of the good sports of
the city are regretting the past elec-
tion while others are rejoicing over
the reap of the harvest.
The last Mondays issue of the Op-
timist incurred quite an excitement
among the Demos Of the county and
as they were forbidden a glance at
the newsy edition until late in the ever
ing they, or rather few begged like
good fellows but all in vain. Once in
the history of the Optimist, it was
badly wanted. Who wouldn't want a
good paper with real live news in.

ATHLETICS DEFEAT
AMERICAN FALLS

Last Sunday afternoon the old time
warriors of the football gridiron de-
monstrated tothe public as to justwhat
kind Of material they were made of
by taking into camp the huskie bunch
Of pig skin rushers from American
Falls. The local team was outweighed
some fifteen or twenty pounds but this
made no hindrance whatever and the
local boys went through them just like
pouring water through sieve. At no
time during the entire game was the
Blackfoot goal in any great danger
Kiefer, the huskie full back for the
local team, was magnetically stuck to
the ball the entire game and was un-
willing to see the ball rushed through
the lines otherwise than by hims II,
who it is naturally though has mere
wind than any ordinary man is enti-
tied to. The game mostly composed
of straight bucking with an occasional
attempt to forward pass which result
ed in failures time and time again, e.
though at one time perfect pass was
made by Kieser to Rich, but owing to
the fact that the ball was passed over
the line at point where the crowd
was thickest the ball could not be
gotten at on account of the specta-
tors, and if so it would have resul ed
in a touchdown. The two teams fought
in the centre of the field until the last
few minutes Of play when the home
boys seemed to grasp little larger
hold and slowly pound the enemy back
where when within twenty yards Of tn
goal one Of the timekeepers called
time, but as the two different time
keepers were not the same, the time
was split and there remained forty sec
onds to play. The next down the hail
was carried to the ten yard line and
then carried to within three yards of
I the goal The next down was well
marked by the off side play Of the
American Falls quarter who was at
this particular time of the game MAX
ing his plunges a little too fast and
was called this time for being off
side, the penalty being the forfeiture
of half the distance to the goal MAX
ing the remaining distance to go four
feet. At this point of the game II
was delayed for some few moments,
owing to the fact that when the quar-
ter made his off side play he also sue
ceeded in securing the ball which De-
Kay knocked from his hand and Rich
fell upon with about a hundred and
eighty pound man clinging to him
and pounding him in the ribs, this ma
turally created considerable distur
bance and came nigh to resulting in
a good old free for all, but the big
man was soon quieted down and the
battle started once more with four
feet to go. The teams lined up, sig
nails were called and Kiefer plowed
through for the touchdown, winning
the game and sending the visitors
home with shame and dafcat plainly
written upon their manly brows. r.
Rich kicked goal, making the score
seven to nothing. Blackfoot has some
good stuff in their team and with
little practice could make it hard for
most any team in the state, as this
was the first time that the boys had
been together and the public has
many congratulations to bestow upon
the team for the fine exhibition they
put forth to the spectators last
Sunday.

COUNTY REPUBLICANS
MAKE CLEAN SWEEP
Returns From Thirteen Precincts In Bingham
County Give Every Candidate a Big
and Safe Majority---Total Vote Of
Candidates as Far as Received

Bingham county piled up an over
whelming Republican majority from to
to bottom Oof the ticket.
The day opened clear and though
the vote came in slow it was steady
up to the time the polls closed and
each hour indications pointed more
strongly to Republican land slide
Each hour Of the day local Democrats
quickened their steps to head off
the Republican votes and rush to the
polls their supporters, but the Republi-
can spirit became so general that
many lifelong Democrats left the
stranded party and filed into the Re
publican band wagon.
Taft, Haines, French, Smith and 50
on down the ticket, each came in for
big majority and as each precinct
was heard from the democrats fell fur
ther and further behind. At noon the
result was apparent and when the
count commenced the opinion was
general that all was over but the yel!s
of republican victory.
The Socialist vote all over the ma
ton shows great gains and was no
exception in this county, but owing to
our figures being taken from unoffi-
cial returns, the Socialist vote was
unobtainable.
The returns over the county are
coming in slow, and there are still a
few precincts to hear from as we go a
press, AS far as obtainable the total
vote is given as follows:

BIackfoot o-Idaho Falls o

Last Thursday morning the Blackfoot
high school football team, accompan.
led by about twenty good strong voic-
ed rooters with flags flying high and
persons decked out in locate colors,
bearded the morning train for Idaho
Falls, where they went in quest of Sc
curing the scalp of the strong Idaho
Falls pig skin rushers, so they may Icy
, It away along side the various other
scalps of the season, but all in vain
the battle proved fatal and the scalp
in quest Of is still at large tn spite Of
the large number Of rooters which
tried to cheer the boys on to victory
The game was practically a buck re
, match from the first whistle to the
boys attempt to make an end run,
and but two forward passes were tried
during the entire game. One attempt
to make goal by drop kick was
made by Thorstenburg which resul ed
in failure Another hard attempt
to score was tried by pass with the
local boys within 20 yards Of the goal
which resulted as incomplete, and the
attempt, as the former ones, resulted
improbable. There was considerable
changing during the game and this it
Is believed to have helped to pass the
game by without success for anybody
who has ever played the game is
aware Of the fact that to be continu-
ously changing thepositions of the men
is going to result in no coed, and if
anything, is going to bring on defeat.
Buttcane being taken out entirely, Dib
Farmer was then put in at quarter,
making three different changes at
this particularposition enough to que r
fany team Faulkner was shifted from
right tackle to- right guard in the third
quarter, Mullvile being taken out and
Taylor put in at right tackle.
Gibby, who played at left end, this
being his first game can be congratu-
lated upon the splendid work that he
pulled off. He was at his post at ev-
cry play in the game ahd is credited
for having recovered most every fun
BILE during the game. The Idaho Falls
boys seemed to be aware of the fact
that husky Rich was the big gamer
of our team and succeeded in piling
up before him each and every time he
carried the ball and his gains were
without success. The team in general
did as we'll as could be expected with
few exceptions, and the entire game
was one of practically a bucking and
kicking match throughout, owing to
the condition the field was in.
The tie game will be played off in
Blcakfoot in the near future and the
boys should try and get accustomed
to mixing their plays up a small bi.
between now and that time and run
few end plays once and a while es-
pecially If the field is in a muddy
condition, as it was on last Saturday
Here's hoping that the team will get
out in the coming week and work
few hours each night so as they may
still be looked upon as the winning
team of the pennant

tertained at reception and dance

were done at one time. AS soon as
the pine comes out of this machine
it is sliced, and then goes through the
same process as the fruit treated by
