PROSPECT OF F|REMEN
CALLING OFF PARADE
WASHINGTON Hose
Decline to Aid
in the Plans.
MONEY LACKING

Members of Washington Hose and
Chemical Company have withdrawn
their support for the coming active
firAmen's parade scheduled for Octo-
ber. This action was taken by the
company owing to the small amount
Of money collected for the event. Not
only members of the Washingtons
are skeptical over the proposition but
men from the various companies
about town are inclined to believe
that the city has been solicited too
much for this season and that 1t
would be wise to postpone 1t for an
other year.
Members of the Washingtons balk-
ed at inviting three companies to at
tend the event as their guests until
the general parade committee would
guarantee them at least $500 to de-
fray expenses. At the present time
the treasury 10 very low and the
looks for large and successful
campaign are becoming very dark.
Some Of the other members claim
that the parade could be held this
year but that II 1t is success will not
be realized as II the event were post
poned for year.
Some of the members claim that
the proposition should not be under
taken when turned down by the
Board OF Aldermen whom first
broached to them. II the Washing
tons are assured of the sum wanted
then again will they fall In line and
work for the cause. Until some
definite amount is given them all
plans az far as they are concerned
will lie dormant
From the attitude of the Washing
tons and the earnestness Of members
of other companies bitter fight will
likely be waged. Joseph Hornsby,
captain of Protection Hook and Lad
der Company, when told of the ac-
tions of Washington Hose and Chem
ical Company, replied that the parade
would be held this season If his
company was the only one in line. In
the department many are In favor
of holding the event as scheduled and
say they will work tooth and nail to
Rure funds to carry out their origi-
al Intentions.
| The~-ext meeting OF the general
parade Committee will be held next
Mondays &ht at which some definite
action will be taken.

into the freight and express business,
carrying packages great distances for
the same price as for short ones, car
rying package, say from Chicago
to Powell as cheaply as from Black
foot to Powell, and a general impress
sion exists among consumers that this
will enable them to get goods cheaper
which it probably will, but they for
get that they have to pay some kind
of taxes to repay the loss to the gov
ernment, and this process of building
up distant cities at the expense of
rural communities is one of the grave
problems of the day. Establishing
the parcels post as now proposed
means the payment of special taxes
to pay special postal appropriations to
maintain the express department of
the postal system. 1t all has to be
paid out of one pocket or the other,
and the worst feature of it is that
people come to look upon the govern
ment as some foreign affair that they
are to bleed all they can. forgetting
that they have to put the substance
into 1t before, they can draw it out.

b. H. s. ACTIVITIES
(By X. N. Parkinson)


The past week has been one of ex-
element, two basketball games and
two debates were held. In the bas-
ketball games Blackfoot was again
victorious, winning both games. The
boys won from the Pocatello High
school in the last league game of the
season by score of 81 to rs. From
the blow of the first whistle to the
call of time in the last half the game
was one Of continued excitement. Will
Parkinson, Pennington and the two
Taylors played an exceptionally
strong game. Earl Miller was also
seen to advantage in basket shoot
ing.
In the girls game Blackfoot was
victorious by score of 10 to S. Po-
catello was completely outclassed but
despite this fact fought gamely to the
end.
Loula Doning and Sylvia Adamson
were certainly there as forwards,
completely mystifying their guards.
Valine Cutting, Hoover and Bales
also proved themselves stars at
guards. Only one field throw was
made by Pocatello, showing the dex-
terity with which our guards worked
BY winning this game the girls are
entitled to championship game with
Twin Falls, to be played Friday night
at that place. The winner In this
game is entitled to game with Boise
for the state championship. Here's
hoping they win the pennant
In the debates st. Anthony was
victorious, winning in both cases by
an almost imperceptible margin.
At Blackfoot st. Anthony won by
decision of two judges to one, while
at St. Anthony they received the de-
cision of all judges, winning by one
point.
At St. Anthony the debate was
whirlwind from start to finish. Both
sides were thoroughly acquainted
with the subject and delivered 1t in
masterful form. The decision was en-
tirely in doubt until the end, the de-
bate being so close. Those repre-
senting Blackfoot were Hattie Ramey,
Stuart Hoover and Kennett Parkin-
son. Those representing Blackfoot
at Blackfoot were Frank DeKay, Jas.
AdamsOn and Rose Fuller.
While losing both debates, yet we
are not in the least discouraged and
hope to completely outclass our anc-
lent rivals, the Alumnis.

are coming to be the most important
business and social events that are
held, and many things are being
brought to the sales in the eleventh
hour that add interest and add to the
volume of business transacted. Peo-

the business they can at these out-of-

of Mrs. Margaret Emily who was ar

stolen horses captured at Firth in
the hands of three men thought to
be employed by her.

Mrs. Emily lived at Blackfoot some
years ago and is also known as six

bought the horses, but she did not me-
gotiate the sale through the Indian
agent as regulations require, and it
is up to her to show that she bought
them at all.
