work all kinds of grating schemes to
try and get your money and after they
have done all the grating they can
they got up and go and never spend
dollar in your city, Just such is
the case in your locality, and the graf

other locality, but the Old Reliable
Photographer Glanville is still here
at the same old stand, and he never
tries to make you think he is going
to give you something for nothing,
but on the other hand makes photos

OBSERVING MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorial day is few days off, but
the G. A. r. Posts and old soldiers
generally are making arrangements for
suitable observation of the occasion.
Among the hopes that they express,
when looking forward to this day of
sacred memories, is that it will not
be desecrated by all scrts of wild,
worthless and worldly demonstra ions.
Surely there ought to be enough of
the true quality of heart to preserve
this day from confusion and clatter
Men who offered their lives to save the
republic and who stood in the rain of
shot and shell to protect the flag ought
to have some consideration on the one
day of the year, which they have ap-
pointed to lay flowres on the graves Of
their comrades and to celebrate their
memories in eloquence and music. It
does seem a slight request to make of
those who are today enjoying the
fruits of their devotion and courage.
And beyond all mere claims of rec
ognition Of duty performed, there is
In the very respect shown to a noble
cause. a Strengthening and upbuilding
of ones own character. No man can
observe Memorial Day and take a part
in its thought 7n1 purpose without max
ing himself better man.

c. E. KINNEY
DIES IN KANSAS

Although not wholly unexpected, sill
the news that c. E. Kinney had passed
to the Great Beyond yesterday after

shock to this community. He had

companied by his wife, for Excelsior
Springs, Mo-, in the hope of benefit
ting his health, it was known that his
condition was critical.

and lived portion of his life in Iowa.
from whence he came to Idaho about
thirty years ago. He has been identi-
fled with the stock interests Of this
country, and also with the dry goods

number of years in this city. At the
time of his death he was fifty-five
years of age, and leaves a wife, three
daughters and two sons who are Mrs.
D. L. O'Neil, Mrs, Frank Farmer Mrs.
Ray Ragon and Vernon and Harry Kin
ney.

raj will not be made until the arrival

SNAKE RIVER BOOMING

The rumOr was current both here
and at Shelley since Sunday that the
big government dam at Jackson had
broken and farmers along the river
bottoms were moving to places of
safety. So far as we can learn, how
ever, the reports are untrue. Super
visor Ernest F. Hale, who looks after
the government water in this district,
has not been notified of any break.
The river has raised steadily since
Sunday. and is now within a few
inches of the high water mark Of
last year, and is Atill raising. The fol-
lowing taken from the Idaho Falls
Post is perhaps accountable for the
rumor:
Snake River on Rampage
Reports from Lorenzo state that the
Snake river at that point washed out
a large section of wing dam that the
Short Line is building to protect the
station house from high water A
construction gang was rushing the work
to competition, but at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning the high water took out
large section of the work, and a pile
driver and a pile driver engine went
along with it, and are now lodged sew
eral hundred yards below where they
were being used. The engineer of
the pile driver engine narrowly escaped
going down into the water with the
engine.

ROAD TO POWELL CLEAN

Last Sunday morning about Z o'clock
four cars left Blackfoot for the Big
Lost river. DR.. w. E. Patrie, one of
the most public spirited gentlemen in
Blackfoot conceived the idea of form
Ing volunteer road building crew, and
acting on his suggestion, this paper
published an announcement to the ef-
feet that number of cars would leave
the city Sunday morning, and thir-
teen men made the trip. Naturally, it
would not be expected that bunch of
fellows out on an excursion, would do
much work, but the enthusiasm rolled
high and the rocks rolled to either
side of the road from an early hour in
the morning until darkness fell upon
the industrious bunch and stopped their
work for the day.
When the time came for the road
builders to turn homeward, the road
was well cleaned and put in such a
condition that the trip from Blackfoot
to Powell can now be covered in but
few hours by automobile without the
danger of tearing the machine to pieces
over rough rockyroads
There is but little doubt but what
there will be increased travel over this
piece of road during the coming sum-
mer, and the speckled beauties which
are now so numerous in the Big Lost
river will be greatly reduced in num-
Ter before the end of the season.

Bulge, of Bear Lake County, one of
the best known judges in the state, is
prominently mentioned as a republican
candidate for supreme judge. For ten
years, Judge Bulge has been the dis
trict judge of the Fifth judicial dis
trict, and since the end of his second
administration, his popularity has been
so great that he has had the endorse
ment of the bar of his district, and
the democrats have not even nominated
an opponent against him. At the ex-
piration of his first administration,
they nominated a man against him, but
realizing that he was confronted by
defeat, his opponent withdrew from
the race before the election. Under
the constitutional amendment, allow
ing the state supreme court to call
in a district judge to sit on the bench
during the absence of one of the JUS

WHITNEYS MAKE
DARING RAID
Ticket Wagon of the Cole Brothers
Circus Robbed at Rock springs-sev.
enteen Hundred Dollars in Cash Sc
eured-OutIaws get Away.

The Whitney Brothers, Hugh and
Frank, have been heard from again af-
ter silence on their part for the
past few months or since their spec
tacular raid on Cokeville, Wyoming,
last winter, when they held up the
bank of that frontier town and sue
ceeded in getting away with several
hundred dollars.
The Whitneys arrived on the show
grounds at Rock Springs shortly af-
ter the Cole Bros. show opened, de-
cended on the ticket wagon and at
the point of revolvers made the cash
ier turn over all the cash in sight
and then rode hurriedly away before
the alarm could be given.
There was no excitement at the
time as no shots were fired, and the
greater part of the crowd had passed
into the big tent with the exception
OF a few who were hanging around
the side shows. The circus employ
ees did not know of anything unusual
until the cashier emerged from the
ticket wagon, calling out that he had
been robbed and pointing to the fast
disappearing horsemen.
The bandits attracted no particular
attention on the show grounds, riding
up on their horses after the greatest
part of the crowd had entered the big
tent There was nothing unusual in
the appearance to excite suspicion, as
there were a number Of COW men and
sheep herders on the ground all of sim
liar appearance The robbery was per-
formed quietly and without disturbing
any other part of the show until the
men were well underway.
A posse was quickly formed and be-
gan search for the outlaws, follow
ing in the direction of the hills. Those
who know the Whitney boys are sure
of their statement that it was them
who made the hold-up.
