DANILSON FAMILIES LEAVE.

w. H. Danilson is moving his fam
lily to Mackay where he has invested
in the milling business and is mana
ger for the company.
John Danilson has a position in
Boise and is removing his family to
the capital city. In these removals
Blackfoot is losing families whose
names have been identified with the
town since the first building was cr-
ected and the first business house op-
ened. The father, Major w. H. Dan
ilson, opened mercantile business in
the valley before the town was locat-
ed. and in company with f. s. Stew
ems opened O large store near the
present site of the new depot. He
and his family have been identified
with the growth of the town down to
the present time, and all are leaving
now but the eldest daughter of w. H..
Danilson, Mrs. Roy Webster.

GRAND JURY FOR POCATELLO.

1t is rumored that grand jury
will be called in September to ferret
out violations of the local option law,
the plan being to bring home to the
fellows who drink on the sly but vote
dry" the iniquities of the present
laws. 1t is said to be the "wets"
who are pushing the prosecutions,
and particularly against the class Of
voters who keep liquor in their cell
lars. Since the enactment of laws
making it violation of the statutes
to ship liquor into dry territory, the
natter has become acute and an ef-
fort will be made to turn the major
ity to the wet column in the election
to be held in Bannock county in De-
cember.

HAIL STORM AT PINGREE

Last Saturday afternoon a violent
hail storm swept from west to east
across a belt of the Pingree country,
destroying crops over a strip about
mile and half wide. The hail stones
were not large but descended in such
Ivolleys that beets, grain, grasses and
fruits were literally cut to pieces.
Trees were stripped of their foliage
: as well as the fruit, and the rain fell
in such torrents that potato rows
were flattened out and the crop very
much uprooted as well as cut to
pieces. The damage runs into sew
eral thousand dollars.
An unusual amount of rain has fall
len this season and dry farmers are
feeling greatly encouraged.

PREACHER STIRS
UP CALDWELL
immortality Of School Children Made Texl
Of Sunday Sermon
CITIZENS DOUBT PASTOR
Investigation Meeting Held and, 1t Is Said
No Evidence Was Produced To Sub
stantiate the Charges Made.

CALDWELL-State made by
Rev. D. B. Titus, pastor of the
Christian church, during the course
of a sermon delivered Sunday night
before the united churches of Cald-
WE'LL wherein he charged that i'm
morality among school children in
Caldwell was appalling and that pa
rents were lax in their duty, will be
thoroughly investigated, according to
a we'll founded report here Friday.
During his sermon DR. Titus is said
to have stated "We have no play
ground for our boys and girls. The
boys run around alleys and learn to
mouth oaths and the town does not
care. The fathers and mothers have
not the time to listen to preaching.
ga Caldwell physician told me that
in his practice venereal diseases
among school children of school age
had increased 100 per cent during the
past year.
"The principal of schools told me
that locks on school buildings were
frequently broken and that it was
necessary to place men to guard the
school premises at night.
"a meeting for teachers and moth
ers was recently called to consider
the matter of impurity among the
scholars and only rs attended. The
parents are asleep. Had the invita-
tion been for bridge party every
last parent would have been present.
1t is time for the parents to quit
frivolous pursuits and devote them
selves of parental duty"
A regular meeting of the school
board will be held Monday evening
and Mr.. Titus has been invited to at
tend in order that the charges relat-
ing to the public schools maybe in
vestigated, If found to exist. Members
of the school board are anxious to
secure tangible evidence of the evil
said to exist to enable them to pro-
ceed intelligently in suppressing it.
The meeting is public and many local
citizens, including several prominent
physicians have signified their inten-
tion of attending.
At mass meeting before the
school board Monday evening the
minister failed utterly to substan-
tiate the charges made in his sermon,
and acknowledged that it was all
hearsay. He said he had been told
by a physician, but refused to divulge
his name. Three physicians who
were in the meeting stated that it
was not them who had been quoted.
The superintendent of the schools
stated that no guards had been plac-
ed at the school grounds except at
hallow cen night, and that only once
had a lock ever been broken as stat
ed by the minister was a common oc-
curence.

TARIFF BILL WILL KILL LEG
ISLATION FOR BIRD LIFE

Congressman Smith expressed him
self today as apprehensive that the
proposed legislation for the protec-
tion of bird life will be failure be-
cause of the action of the senate COM
mittee in modifying the provision
which has passed the house as part of
the tariff bill. He said, "out of de-
ference to the earnest entreaties of
the women's clubs over the United
States the house of representatives
adopted provision in the tariff bill
prohibiting the importation of Aig-
rettes, egret plumes or the feathers,
quills, heads wings, tails, either raw
or manufactured, of birds or plum
age, with view of their preserva-
tion throughout the world. The COM
mittee on finance of the senate, how
ever, in reporting the bill have per-
mitted the lobby maintained here by
the feather importers to influence
them to the extent of amending the
provision so as to except from the op-
Grafton of the proposed law, the
feathers or plumage Of birds COM
monty recognized as edible or pesti-
frous' which will admit into this
country the feathers or plumage of
practically every species of bird in
the world, as at present. Unless the
women of the country and others in
terested in bird life acquaint their
senators with their wishes and public
sentiment, in favor of the provision
which passed the house the probabili-
ties are that the proposed amendment
will be adopted in the senate and the
protection which is desired to be CIV
en- to bird life will be failure.
ut is singular fact that practic-
ably the entire press of the country
is opposed to the importation of feath
ers or plumes of birds for millinery
purposes as are practically all of the
women's clubs, associations organized
for the conservation of wild life, and
state game commissioners. Notwith-
standing this fact the provision in the
tariff law has been so amended as to
practically annul the proposed Leg
islation,

MAJOR REED HERE.

"There ought to be a million people
in the upper valley of the Snake, and
am going to work toward that end, "
said. Major Fred R. Reed, state i'm
migration commissioner to a Tribune
man this morning. The major came
down from Idaho Falls on the Yel-
lowstone train last night and left at
noon for Salt Lake. Last night in
Sunnyland he addressed the Idaho
Falls Chamber of Commerce and en-
thused the people of that community
over a plan to prepare a splendid ag-
ricultural exhibit for the Panama-Pa-
cifc exposition.
Major Reed passed through Poca-
tello last Monday ON his way to
Butte, to meet party of men who
are interested in Idaho. From Butte
he went to Idaho Falls and then Wis
ttod the various towns from that
point north as far as Ashton.
, "Take it from me-" he said today,
"the upper valley of the Snake is a
wonderful district. Thousand acre
dry farms up there this year will
yield as high as 35 bushels of wheat
per acre. Twenty-Five thousand acres
of seed peas will produce as high as
80 bushels per acre, and the product
will be worth between $3.50 and $2
per bushel. There is room for mil
lion people up there, and If only we
could impress its fertility, its splen.
did climate, its great school systems
upon the minds of the farmers OF
the overcrowded east, we could popu-
late every acre.
idaho is this year ripe for effec.
tive exploitation. We want to ad-
vertise the state so that the hundreds
of thousands of easterners who in
1915 will go to San Francisco to the
Panama exposition, may be in mood
to make a side trip to this land OF
opportunity. ."-Pocatello Tribune.

THE CITY BUSINESS

The city council held special
meeting Tuesday evening to act up
on the resignation of Sexton w. B.
Jacobs. 1t appears that strained re-
lations exist between the sexton and
members of the Village Improvement
society and he decided that he would
not be able to please all of them, and
he wanted to be relieved. He was will
ling to serve until they could get his
successor initiated into the work, and

KIEFER-DEkAY WEDDING.

Miss Annie Kiefer and Mr.. Roy s..
Dekay were married at the home Of
the brides parents on Monday morn
ing, July 28th at nine o'clock, Rev.
Mr.. George of the Episcopal church
officiating Miss Minnie Kiefer, sis
ter of the bride, and Mr.. V. G. White,
state veterinarian, were bridesmaid
and groomsman. There were pres
ent besides the family, Mrs M. A.
White of Idaho Falls, grand mother
of the bride, Mrs. VIM. Varley and
Miss Grace Thomas of Blackfoot.
The groom's present to the bride was
beautiful diamond sunburst. After
breakfast the bride and groom left in
Their auto for their honeymoon.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.

bered among the older ersidents of
TIE valley, and the groom is the ac-
live member and manager of the De-
Kay Grocery company of this city.
Both are we'll known and popular in
this section, and in evidence Of. this
we cite the fact that they were the
winners of the fine Mcintyre automo-
bile given away in the popularity
contest last year by the Idaho Re-
publican and the Brown-Hart Co.
The two worked together in manag-
ing the campaign in the name Of Miss
Kiefer, and won by margin Of near

lations at this time and wish that the
car may never stick in the mud or
miss spark.

TELEPHONE SUIT is
FAR REACHING ONE

The recent suit brought at Port
land to dissolve the telephone trust in
Oregon affects directly one of the tel
ephone companies operating in Ida
no and will undoubtedly affect indir-
ectly another should the government
be successful in that suit
The case brought at Portland charg
es the Bell Telephone company oper-
ating in that state, Washington and
northern Idaho with violating the
Sherman antitrust law. There are
80 companies in ell made defendants,
but the charge is that they are all
operated by one central company, all
the subsidiary end formerly inde-
pendent companies having been
bought up by the one large company,
the Pacific States Telephone C Tele-
graph company is the branch of the
company operating Bell telephones in
north Idaho.
The mere fact that the merger of
various formerly Independent COM
panise has been brought about would
not, of course, bring such a merger
under the prohibited clauses of the
Sherman antitrust law, but in addi-
tion to the merger interstate traffic
must be affected. The company op-
Grating in northern Idaho also oper-
ates in eastern Washington and
northeastern Oregon, hence it does an
interstate business.
The government at Washington
seems to have taken more than usual
interest in this case inasmuch as Con-
stantine ]. Smyth, former attorney
general of Nebraska, has been sent to
Potland as special assistant to the
attorney general to represent the gov
ernment in the case and the case will
be tried in the United States circuit
court, presided over by three judges.
The three judges regularly belong
ing to that circuit are Judge William
A. Gilbert of the district of Oregon;
Judge Erskine M. Ross of one of the
California districts and Judge Will
liam w. Morrow, also of California.
In case any one of these judges could
not act another federal circuit Judge
would be called in.
The government asks that the al
legged trust be required to dispose Of
the stocks, bonds and physical pro-
perty of all former companies which
it is alleged were merged into the one
trust company, such sale to be made
to persons or corporations not con-
nected in any manner with the alleg-
ed trust concern.
If the government should win this
case, it will naturally follow that like
action would be taken against num-
Der of other alleged telephone trusts
districted throughout the country
