ADVERTISING
FAKIRS GALORE
HIT BLACKFOOT

Within the past month Blackfoot
has been besieged with every kind of
advertising fakir known to man. First
came a couple of smooth bore takers
and landed a number of merchants
on an advertising board at $25.OO
per year The board would be look
ed at once probably by everyone and
1t is good bet that man who reads
the ads couldn't walk to the corner
OF the next street and remember whose
ad he had read. Next came a quar-
tet of grafters. One with female
attachment, the others singly and
alone. They got out little postal zone
cards, directories to tack up on the
wall for several days and then be
torn down and thrown into the coal
hod with the rest of the debris. A
newspaper has an average circulation
say, of 1000 subscribers. subscri-
Der is the head Of family In that
family are probably one to three
own clothes where they want to Be

one paper Taking the amount of ad-
with fakirs in the last month for din
ky advertising schemes, expend it in
newspaper, the medium that every
business man expects to howl for
home trading and against the mail
order house, and it is safe bet
that it will be read by four times as
many people than all the sian boards

cards printed. The only trouble is
that the newspaper man is home

around the hotel lobby of the next
town how many fall guys there are in
Baacksoot and the local merchant likes
it all the same what P. 7. Barnum
said about the American people liking
to have their money taken away from
them. If a newspaper man ruts on a
contest to build up his circulation or

Death Of Mrs. Alfred

Mrs. Phoebe l. Alfred, mother of
Harvey Alfred, died at the L. d. S.
hospital, Salt Lake City, Saturday and
the body was brought to Blackfoot
for burial on the night train of that
day.
Mrs. Alfred was born in Utah, 81
years ago, and had always enjoyed ro-
bust health until two weeks ago, when
she was taken i'll while attending the
L. D. S. conference in Salt Lake City,
her condition became alarming and
the doctors agreed that an operation
was the only hope. The operation was
performed but the dear old lady, who
had suffered more than her share of
troubles recently, was too weak to
Withstand it and after the operation
grew weaker each day until the end
came
Her life was that of christian
woman, u loving wife and devoted mo-
ther and her kind deeds will live on
and on in the hearts of those who
best knew her. In 1890 she with her
husband and family went to Mexico
and until the insurrection there, at
which time hundreds of Mormon fa-
miles had to flee for their lives, into
Texas, they had worked hard in build
were compelled to leave everything
behind them. Mr.. Alfred, of this
city, wired for his mother to come to
him. She came, leaving her husband
and daughter in Ell Paso, and had
been in her sons hcme only an hour
when a telegram conveyed the intell-
gence that her husband lad died sud
denly One month later her daughter,
Mrs Warren Longhurst, sGccumbed
to the effects of an operation.
Thursday night two kilograms were
sent Mr. Alfred informing him OF the
serious condition of his mother. but
the messages were not delivered in
time for him to catch the morning
train Friday, and she passed away
before he got there. He brought the
remains here and the funeral was
held Monday afternoon from the L..
d. S. First Ward Meeting House JOS
H. Merrell, Edgar M. Alfred, brother
in-law of t,c dcceased L, r. Thomas,
andf Mr.. Dinwcedy Of Idaho Falls,

ing tributes to the noble life lived by
Mrs. Alfred.
The Optimist joins the many friends
of Mr. Alfred in extending sympathy.

Exploring Party Returned Thursday With
Human Skulls, Skeletons and Other Arti-

A party consisting of Hert, Gus and
John Roos, Ed Winn, Bert Robinson,
A. Empy and K P. Brown left Idaho

plore a cave about forty miles west
of that city and which was discover

some three hundred feet back under
the ground, eleven human skulls, three
arrows with the feathers on them,
one arrow head, part of a bow, buff

A Beautiful Roomina House

Geo. w. Walburn, who recently leas
ed the rooming house over the ALL
Cut Implement store, has recently
completed the furnishings and it is
the most beautiful place in the city.
There are eighteen rooms furnished
at cost of approximately $1,000, and
these are not inflated figures. The
equipment is equal to the furnishings
of any house in town. A well-lighted
hall runs the full length of the build
ing and this is furnished for a read
ing room, with potted plants, tables,
comfortable chairs and every eonven-
ience. The entire house is we'll venti-
lated, well lighted and a regular para
disc for the person who has no home.

they We're, or how tthey got there.
No signs of clothing was to be
found, not even a button. Bones
We're strewn all around the mouth
OF the cave and scattered over the
hill side, inside the cave nests had
been formed of human bones and it is
estimated that in the neighborhood
OF $50 people had met their death
together in this MYSTERIOUS hole.
The party returned to Idaho Falls
today bringing with them eleven skulls
and other relics which are now on
display at Ed Winn's drug store,
Idaho Falls.
Doctors who have examined the
bones would not venture an opinion a
to how long they had been there.
Another cave larger and deeper
was entered by the party but only
human bones, probably carried there
by animals, were found The party
expects to again go to these caves
and explore them more thoroughly.

High Water In BIackfoot River

The Blackfoot river Is On ram
page and farmers living along it's bank
have been kept busy early and late,
building up dikes to hold the stream
within its banks and prevent the wa

river is higher than it has been in
many years and some farms between
the rivers have been more or less
flooded, however, no serious losses
have been reported.
The fall in the temperature dur
ing the first of the week lowered the
water tc some extent and it is be-
leved that this will eliminate fur

ANTI PASS LAW
HITS WHERE IT
SHOULD NOT
For State Officials
Not Sufficient to Pay Travelling
Expenses = Sheriffs Of the State
Also Affected by Provision.

There is deep grief and not little
worrying on the part of state officials,
especially heads of departments, as
well as many county officials, over the
anti-pass feature of the new public
utilities bill, for passes on railroads
in the future will be much more diff
cult to secure than in former years,
says the Boise Capital News. Instead
of consulting the representatives of
railroads for passes, applicants will
after May 5, when the commission
takes up it's duties, have to consult
that body.
Newspapers Are Immune
Newspapers and magazine publica-
tions within the state will be on the
pass list in the future as they have
been in the past, due to the fact that
it is recognized they give an exchange
in advertising. One of the amend
ments offered to the public utilities
bill when it wis before the legislature
attempted to prohibit this exchange,
but it failed. The proviso in the act
relating to this matter is as follows:
Passenger transportation may is
sue to proprietors and employees of
newspapers and magazines and the
members of their immediate families,
in exchange for advertising space in
such newspapers or magazines at full
rates, subject, however, as to such
reasonable restrictions as the commits
sion may impose"
There is just one ray of hope for
heads of state departments and their
deputies who have and now are trav-
cling on passes, for the new law pro-
vides that the commission may direct
the state officials who shall have
passes. The law says: Nothing in
this shall prevent the issuance of free
transportation by any common car
rier to the members Of the commits
sion created by this act, or to such

Planning To Explore The Desert

Jake Baird and Harry Hamilton of
Springfield, Fred Bennett, of Presto,
and Karl P. Brown are preparing to
explore the desert west of Springfield
for about ten days. The trip into the
big lava beds will be made with pack
horses, water will be carried for do
mestic purposes, the outfit loading
light to make time. The quartet are
old timers in hitting the trail in the
hard spots, can endure riding without
water if necessary and will make an
exhaustive search for the mythical
meadows and lost river of which SO
much has been written recently. Ko-
daks will be brought into requiston
and as many views of the unexplored
land will be taken as are possible A
small party of people is preferable to
large one because of the lack of
water and the necessity of enduring
many inconvenience, many of which
cannot be gone through by some pao-
pie. The men will endeavcr to lay
out route for a road to some of the
big lavas and make an auto resort of
some place where running water is
abundant. Adrian and Ed Parsons re-
Gently returned from trip of 100
miles into the desert and they found
a running stream of water, with bear
and deer signs all around it, and it is
thought that a good hunting ground
for the larger game can be discovered
in the big crevasses which abound in
the country 100 miles to the west.
