HOMESTEADER FOUND DEAD
AT HIS CABIN DOOR
Jacob Trasker of Rockland Passes
Away Alone, Probably From
Heart Failure.

Jacob Trasker, a HON esteader VIII
lived in the Rockland district was
found dead at the back door OF
his cabin Monday morning by Asa
Pierson, a neighbor who had come
over to borrow a harrow. 1t was al
parent that the man had been dead
for a day or more. There were no
marks of violence, and it is sup
poesd that death resulted from nat
ural causes, probably heart failure.
His horses were tied in the stable,
and had not been fed or watered for
some time.
Mr.. Trasker came to Idaho from
Washington, ard SO far as IS
known, had no relatives in this
country. His homestead in the
Table Mountain was all in cultlva-
iton and apparently he was in line
for a prosperous year.
The funeral of Mr.. Trasker was
onducted Wednesday in the as en-
bly, hall by the Rev. Mr.. Shaw, and
interment wa smade in the valley
view cemetery.
Mr.. Trasker was quite popular
among those who knew him, and
his death is generally regretted.

ABERDEEN SCHOOL WRANGLE
Is FINALLY ADJ JUDICATED.
New District Is Created, and VIII
iage Can Now Have its Own
High School

The Aberdeen Times thus records
the final settlement of the diff
Guilty in the Aberdeen country over
school matters. In the past there
has been a continual wrangle be-
tween those who wanted a high
school and those who didn't. Under
the new dispensation, the warning
factions are put into separate dis
triots and each can have what it
wants:
Acting upon the petition of a
group of residents Of the country
Immediately surrounding the village
of Aberdeen the county comm s.
sioners assembled at Blackfoot one
day last week created a new school
district to be known as district No
50. The comm SIS s'oners also decide
not to grant the lequest of another
group OF petitioners for a new dis
trfct lying east of Aberdeen and
old district No "a will remain as it
was with the exception of the terri
tory taken out to form strict
No. So
The new district is formed with
the idea of making the village of
Aberdeen the geographical center,
or as nearly SO as possible. The
north boundary is the same as in
the Old district and S four III les
north Of the townste. The eastern
boundary extends to lAe range line
between township 81 and 80 and
j miles east OF the easte1n edge
Of the tOwnsite. The western
boundary is a half section line three
and a half miles west of the town
site of Aberdeen and the southern
boundary is the county line between
Power and Bingham counties.
The farthest point from the site
of the proposed high scool to be
erected in Aberdeen is the south
western corner of the district about
seven miles distant. No other
'orner of the district is more than {
TX miles from Aberdeen.

Fio,.r Made From Alfalfa.

Within six months rM. Cottrell
declares he will have in the market
a flour derived from alfalfa which
will be of splendid quality for the
baking Of bread or any other food
in which flour is now used. Alfal-
ia biscuits, and even alfalfa hot
cakes for breakfast, are among the
possibilities for the future.
Mr.. Cottrell, who is a member OF
the National Alfalfa Millers' asso-
citation is enthusiastic over the
uses TO which Idaho alfalfa can be
put. AS a balanced ration for all
kinds of stock there is nothing bet
ter than the mixed ration of beet su
gar, alfalfa meal and grain, when
it is properly mixed.
