BIG CHIEFS GATHER
Governor VIII Share HOnOrs with In.
dian Chief ut Idaho Falls Round Up.

Idaho, Falls, Ida, Aug 30.-Gov-
ernor John M. Haines of Idaho, has
accepted the invitation of the manage
ment OF the War Bennett Roundup to
attend the opening day of the Bonnie
vile County Fair and Roundup to be
held in Idaho Falls for five days, be-
ginning September Sth, and continue
ing until the 18th. He will also lead
the parade for the two moving picture
machines.
Governor Haines will share the hon
ors with Pat Tyhee, big chief of the
Bannock and Blackfoot Indians on
the Fort Hall reservation, who will
assist in the starting.
The governor will be provided with
one OF the oldfashioned single-action
forty-four-calibre siX-shooters of the
Smith and Wesson make, which was a
familiar article of apparel in the ear
| ly days of southeastern Idaho. The
gun has quite a local history, having
at one time been the property of a
| local gun fighter in this section in
the pioneer days, and was used by him
in his last stand against law and or
der, when he fought the officers to his
death. The gun has number of
notches in the handle, a silent testi-
mony of the use to which it was put
when it's previous owner owned and
| operated a private burial ground
which is still to be seen on the out
skirts of Idaho Falls and is pointed
out to visitors as one of the sights
of the old days. The governor will be
mounted on COW horse out of which
all the buck has been taken and will
| be provided with chaps and other
cowboy outfit, putting aside his 1914
model derby for the occasion and be-
ing crowned with a seven-inch brim
white Stetson.
Chief Pat Tyhee will wear the fam
| Gus War Bonnet which was the signal
for war in the old days and the sight
of which struck terror to the hearts
of the early settler, meaning as it did
that the Indian was on the war path
| 1t was from this famous war bonnet
| that the War Bonnet Roundup takes
| it's name.
Tommy" Cannon, the silver-tongued
| announcer of Oklahoma, will be an
other familiar figure on the grounds
Cannon recently severed his connec-
ton with the Buffalo Bill show and
will have charge of the big carnival
company which is to entertain the
crowds on the nights of the fair and
roundup on the streets with big
free attraction. Cannon will act as Of
fetal announcer of the events.
The War Bonnet Roundup in one
short year has gained reputation
which is as wide as the continent and
the fame of the first show given has
spread to such an extent that the man.
agement has had difficulty in taking
care of all the entrys. The principal
reason for the success has been that
Idaho Falls is located in the center
of the last stand of the old time cow
man. Agriculture has driven the old
timer from the familiar range and he
has gone back into the hills and the
isolated places and seldom emerges

new STATE INSPECTOR
Z. II. Massey Appointed State HOrti.
cultural Inspector.

| G. K. Massey of Council Valley
Adams county, well known horticul-
| turlst Ill the western part of this state
was last night elected state horticul-
tural inspector, after John U. McPher-
| son had presented his resignation to
| the board having decided to accept
the appointment of superintendent of
the Idaho division of the potato de-
partment of the North Pacific Fruit
Distributors. Massey will enter upon
his new duties Immediately. He took
over the work of the department to-
| day.
There were large number OF appli-
cants before the board for considera-
ton after it was decided Horticultural
Inspector Mcpherson would accept
the new appointment as potato super
intendent. Among those urged for
the appointment were Lester M. Camp
bell, Nampa, formerly of Boise; c. w.
Brannan, Twin Falls; C. w. Edmund
son, Moscow; Edward Meeks, Cald-
we'll; j. F. Littooy, Boise; H. F. Ash
by, Boise; H. A. Hickey, Boise. Those
named were either active candidates
for the position or were urged for the
office by their friends
| Ac UOdIu Was III session lno en-
tire day and did not complete it's la
bors until last night and it was not
until that time that it was decided to
accept the resignation of Mr.. McPher-
son and elect a successor. Members
of the board were divided in their sup
port. State officials were consulted
during the afternoon in the making of
the appointment.
| The new state horticultural inspec-
tor has for the past four years been
engaged IN horticultural work as SUI
perintendent of large orchard To-
Gated near Council, installed by de-
velopment company. He is practical
horticulturist and comes highly re-
commended for the office which he
has taken over. The board regretted
being forced to dispense with the SER
vice of Mr.. Mcpherson, who has made
an enviable record as state horticul-
tural inspector, but the larger salary
offered him as potato superintendent
could not be met by the board and for
that reason 1t was finally decided to
accept his resignation. Members of
the board stated last night they feel
that in the selection of Mr. Massey
they have secured the services of a
horticulturalist who will be able to
carry on the work in the same able
manner that Mr. Mcpherson did
