County Central
Committee Meets

Last Friday the county central
committees of the several parties
met at the county seat and organ
lied for the coming two years. Most

body from the precinct.

THE CITY BUSINESS

The city council met in special
session Monday evening and fixed the
tax levy for the year at eleven mills,
levy of last year. The amount of
taxable property was found to be
$1,SOO,0O0 and the revenues required
are about twenty thousand.
The city attorney was authorized
to carry on some negotiations look
ing to a settlement of the problem
of the Batway ditch.
The directors of the fair appeared
before the council and asked for an
appropriation of $500 for the fair,
and discussion followed as to the
wisdom of increasing the city debt
for that purpose. 1t was stated that
the association had made some i'm
provements last year amounting to
about $4,000, and are in debt about
$2100 and that as the fair brings
much business to town that is of gen.
eral benefit to all, from the business
man down to the smallest rooming
house and the humblest laborer it
was only right that the city should
encourage the holding of the annual
fair. The money would be used to
pay premiums on farm produce and
other things made or raised by local
people and it would all travel in the
channels of local trade and be a
benefit to all.
Alex. Younie said he realized that
the fair was a benefit to the town and
country, but he did not favor giving
any money out of the public treasury
for it's maintenance. That the tax
payers had not authorized them to
spend their money for horse races,
and that If the horse racing could
not maintain itself without special
appropriations of public money they
had better cut it out.
Members of the fair board stated
that the city had given $500 about
four years ago and there was no
particular showing of disapproval;
that Idaho Falls gives money every
year in sums varying from $1,000 to
$25OO, and that if their fair with its
utter lack Of agricultural and horti-
cultural exhibits and art and house.
hold exhibits was worthy of such ap-
preparations as that, surely the
Blackfoot fair with its abundant ex-
hibits and premiums amounting to
ten thousand dollars was worthy of
public aid.
Mr.. Younie replied that perhaps
the special appropriations were what
is the matter with the Idaho Falls
fair; that there was little but horse
racing and wild west exhibits; that
1t was amusements pure and simple
and did not attract exhibits of the
products of the country; that nobody
visiting the fair learned anything
that enabled them to raise better
things or make better success of their
useful Vocations; and that If special
appropriations are what has develop
ed the kind of fair they are giving
then it behooved Blackfoot to avoid
appropriations and let the fair stand
on it's merits and be self sustaining
or fail.
1t has been customary for the city
to give the fair the money arising
from privileges, and in their meeting

WOOD MADE FIREPRooF.

1t is said that the London Metro
politan railway has freproofed all
its rolling stock without the elimi-
nation of woodwork and the struc-
tural and decorative advantages
which woodwork affords. The meth
cd Of fire proofng is the same as that
now being employed by the admit
rally. This consists of the impreg-
nation of the pores and fibers of the
wood with chemicals such as render
the wood absolutely Aameproof.
Wood so treated is said to lose none
OF its natural characteristics and has
no harmful effect upon CLUES, nails,
varnishes or metal fxings with
which is may be brought in contact.

you DON'T KNOW YOUR VOICE
Scientific Explanation Of Why One
Does Not Hear u az
Others DO.

You have long known that you do
not see yourself as others see you.
Do you know that you don't hear
yourself as others hear you? asks the
Boston Post.
Laroy, French scientist, declares
q person does not really know his
own voice. He had several persons,
all intimate friends, record few
sentences on a photograph together.
When the records were reproduced
the persons could more easily recog-
nize the voices of their friends than
their own.
This is due, Laroy says, to the diff
ference in the quality of the tone.
When a man speaks he hears his own
voice, not only through the air as
Others do, but it passes through the
lungs, throat and mouth. The sound
thus has a different tiInbre from
that conducted to the ear only by the
air.
Another way to prove this is to
put the end of wooden rod between
the teeth and pronounce a vowel con-
tinually. Have another person put
the other end of the rod between his
teeth and stop up his ears. He will
find the sound stronger than when it
reached him through the air. The
tone is also of different quality.

INDIGESTION AND AUTHORSHIP.

II. G. Wells is among those who
believe that Indigestion is an aid to
successful authorship. Some year,
ago, when called upon to answer tn,
question, "What is the first stei
toward literary productions" NJ,
Wells replied: at is imperative.
you wish to write with any power G.
freshness at all, that you should nj
terly ruin your digestion" Victor
Hugo appears to have done his best
to bring on Indigestion. Edmond
Lockroy states in his memoirs thar
it was Hugo's invariable custom
when served with crayfsh to devoul
the head, claws and tail; and tc
swallow the skin and pips whenever
he ate an orange.

THIS THE AGE OF WONDERS
Much Has Been Done, Yet Fountain
Of Youth, Long Sought for, Is
Undiscovered.

We are fortunate in that we live
in an age when the incurable is be-
ing made durable and the fatal r1ade
harmless, the Philadelphia Press OBJ
serves. Diseases that by our fore
fathers would have been held infal-
lible tickets for the long journey are
now invested with no such terrors.
We prevent yellow fever and mala-
ria by discriminating two kinds of
mosquitoes. We vaccinate for small
pox, long a terror to the nations, and
see the death rate fall steadily. Ap-
pendicitis we operate for with calm
assurance of recovery. Tumors are
excised, and radium cures cancer.
The wonders of surgery follow one
another fast. Nowadays a surgeon
will carve you patient at any point
of anatomy, take out a vital organ,
look at it, clean it, and put it back,
ticking away as merrily as ever. The
last wonder is of course that per-
formed before the biologists here
when every drop of blood was taken
from a living body and purified,
while the veins were filled with a
salt solution, and then returned,
clarified. This was "tried on the
dog" doubtless it will soon be on
humans. But the world still waits
for something even indefatigable
science has not solved. Today, as of
old, the fountain of youth is eagerly
sought. Not year has been added
to the span of human life. With the
aid of surgery and medicine we may
live out the allotted time, yet no way
has been devised of adding anything
to that mortal span.

PURPOSE IN LIFE'S TRIALS
but Thinker Believes Them Part
Of Purifying Process.

No man in the world ever at
tempted to injure another without
being injured in return, some way,
somehow, sometime. 'fRecompense

lowly Nazarene. 'Inasmuch as We
have done it unto one of the least of

Personal magnetism = spiritual,
may cost sorrow, suffering and tears,
but back of it all is a purpose and
when all ife's lesson shall have been
learned that purpose may be re-
vealed to us, and through our tears
we may see the wisdom of the trials
and tribulations through which we
were obliged to pass, and our spirit
ual magnetism shall partake of the
purifying process, as we add other
pages to the chapters of our book in
this little span of life.-Edward B.
