ICE IN THE RIVER
CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE,
Wagon Bridge Had to be Closely
Watched-Dangero Jam
Now Cleared.

Ice coming down Snake river on
Saturday jamed against the wagon
bridge to such extent that the con-
dition became alarming and Sun
day as the Ice continued to float a
number Of men were put to work.
A number OF large logs had lodg-
ed against the piers and started a
blockade Of ice which continually
grew as the ice came down until
1t had formed a large berg pushing
with its strength against the several
piers Of the bridge. The work of
lostening the timbers to allow a
breaking up of the ice was a hard
and dangerous task. 1t was not
until late Sunday did the men sue
ceed in clearing the head of the big
berg and then the ice was gradually
broken off and passed on down the
river. Monday the channels were
cleared and all danger passed.
A watchman will be placed upon
the bridge at all times when the
Ice begins to move so that another
such experience win not be had.

MONEY FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
One Company Has Furnished the
Sum of 100000

The development of the Rock land
valley is going on at a more rapid
pace than is generally thought by
even those people who are familiar
with all conditions. An idea OF
this can be guessed at in the in
formation given out by James T.
Fisher who represents a loan COM
pany. Mr.. Fisher was here the first
Of the week and told the Press
that his company had in the past
two years loaned to the farmers
OF that section the sum Of 500, 900
"In every case" said Mr.. Fisher
this money was borrowed by the
farmer to improve his farm. The
applications were made to secure a
certain amount of money to build
buildings on the farms or to en-
able the farmer to clear and put
into crop all his land. The re-
suit of this money is plainly visible
in our section. 1t means that i'm
proyements are being made which
otherwise would have TO be delayed
for several years. Better homes and
farm buildings are being construct
ed. more land is being put under
and development Is be-
ing made rapidly and this all goes
to prove that the farmers are gen
orally satisfied that they are living
in a farming community"

OF Bingham county should be in
cluded In the proposed new county
Of Power. The attendance consist
ed of the people of the town and
the territory Immediately surround
ing it. Resolutions were adopted
against the giving up of any Bing-
ham county territory at this time
but it was intimated, however, that
If meeting of a committee from
Aberdeen and one from the propose
new county could be arranged lines
might be established which would
be satisfactory to all concerned.
Acting upon this information a
committee from American Falls and
a committee from Aberdeen met on
December IS. but they were inform
ed q. the outses Uf the meeting that
unless the present boundry Of Bing-
ham county was left untouched and
all territory OF bingham county be
left out OF the Lll for the proposed
new county, that the Power county
blu could not hope for the support
OF the Bingham county representa-
ton.
Feeling that the people In the
territory affected should have some
consideration in this matter, the
committee from American Falls Of
fered to sent a representative from
this territory together with q repre-
sentative from Aberdeen to make
q personal canvass OF the territory
affected. drawing the line at such
a point as would be agreeable to
a majority Of the people residing
In aad owning the property Of thar
