Chased by
Timber Wolves

Homer Edwards, a buckeroo who
has gained prominence locally as q
broncho fighter and all round horse.
man, had thrilling experience last
Friday on the reservation. While
near the Blackfoot river bridge east oi
town, he was surprised by band OF
large gray timber wolves, seven in
number, which trotted along after
him for a distance of G half mile. Mr..
Edwards was going to his ranch on
the upper Blackfoot and had no gun
on him. While he was aware that
wolves at this time of year are not
hungry enough to attack q man, it
made him feel rather strange to have
the hairy brutes make a companion
of him. Gray wolves have not been
heard of in this country for a num-
ber of years and it is Thought that
this band was changing range from
the rapidly settled desert west of
town.

in White?" by the Tabernacle choir.
Then followed the invocation by

Changes In
Rock Saloon

What is still known as the Rock
saloon building is undergoing some
changes. A. B. Stevens is putting in
a modern front in THE once famous
building, which was built by Billy Meis
tor for a saloon in the days when the
main street of Blackfoot wa3 being
changed from the railroad right Of
way back to it's present line. Shoot
ing affrays, cowboy fights, arguments
over the best way to carry sour dough
cans, heated talks among prospectors
as to which had the best tellmare,
listening to freighters from the Lost
River mines pulling big loads, the
whine of a sheep dog as some one
kicked him, were common things
around this old building in the days
of the saloon. Since things became
dusty around Blackfoot the room has
been occupied as q pool hail under
the name, The Blackfoot Pool Hall
and is an orderly well conducted place
owned by Japanese.

Administration
Strikes back at Critics

Governor Haines does not intend
to sit still and permit adverse critics
to charge his administration with ex-
travagance; with being false to it's pr
sions Of economy and retrenchment.
From the. beginning the governor has
prided himself on bringing tho bushes
of the state to better business stan
dard; to the establishment of sys.
tenn and better management in every
department of the state government.
In an "Open Statement to the Peo
pie o. IdaEr on the State Tax Levy"
issued on Friday, Governor Haines sui.
mits facts and figures that will be Of
interest to every taxpayer in the state.
In this signed satttshrdluu ywf cmfwy
Why Statement ls Made
"The announcement by the board
of equalization of the state lcvy and
the amount which will have to be
raised this year by direct taxation
from tho various counties, has been
made tho occasion by the opposition
newspapers for a declaration that tho
present administration has failed to
redeem it's promises in the matter OF
giving the people an economical, bust
ness administration Of static affairs.
1T is pointed out that the board Of
equalization is raising through direc:
taxation $24,238.73 more this year
than was similarly raised in 1912, and
an attempt is being made to use this
fact as proof of extravaganza and
breach Of faith on the partt of the
state officers.
People Should Have the Facts
''It is my belief that tho people
should be fully informed on this matt
ter SO that they may know the exact
status Of the question and be able to
decide for themselves whether or not
the state government has been eco
nomical and businesslike in it's opera.
tions. 1t is true that direct taxes have
been increased by the amount named,
but it is also true that those who have
attempted to make capital out of this
fact have not been fair enough to
give the reasons for this increase or
the facts from which the reasons
might be deduced.
