GOT TOO CLOSE TO NATURE

Back to the farm and "close
to nature" are favorite expressions
among city people the past few years,
and man visited in Blackfooot last
Friday who got too close to it. II
you don't mind listening we'll just
mention few points in passing.
He lived in Puyallup, Washington,
near Tacoma and had nice home,
and was successful man of middle
age. He had satisfied the wander
lust and the love of ease, and had
seen his community develop so it
was modern, and was longing for the
old freedom of an entirely new estate
where a man is next to nature all
the time. Somebody interested him
in the Powell tract in Idaho, and
now you're wise to the rest. G
That was several years ago, and
he opened a little store at Powell,
became sole trader" post master,
Warehouseman, carrier of the mail,
agent for the railroad, keeper of
the telephone exchange, custodian
for everybody coming and going, was
planning to establish a stage line to
connect with the new town of Nc
lollum, was doing a rushing business
with the sub-contractors - Bang!
The work shut down!
He didn't get his money; neither
did anybody else, contractors, work.
men, settlers all left. For while
he was simply the custodian of a
water car in the desert, and finally
he quit, and went to his claim near
McCollum. He thought to be plucky
and stick. He had neighbors, Nc
Collum was laid out as a town, peo-
pie were trying to buy lots and could
mt, Uncle Sam appointed him post
master, Governor Hawley went on
his bond, the railroad was about to
be built to town but there was de-
lay, settlers kept moving away from
McCollum, he got so he scarcely ever
saw anybody except when he took a
trip to some settlement that was in
habited, and he got lonely and went
back to get acquainted with his
family at Puyallup. pronounce it
just as if the "Y" were left QUIT
He had several years of camping and
baGhing and clearing off sage and
stalking claims, and when he got back
to Blackfoot, Friday, he was headed
for the claim again, not because he
wanted to be close to nature any
longer but because he had put in
so much money and was determined
to win out before he quit.
He had engaged, or thought he
had, to ride from Blackfoot to his
claim in the desert with neighbor
who drove into Blackfoot from Sweet
Sage, but the neighbor missed the
message by one train and went back
without him. This was serious.
He could take the Mackay train
to Arco, stage it to Howe, 25 miles,
leave his baggage, walk back ten
miles in the direction of Blackfoot
to his claim, take another walk OF
ten miles to get his horses, drive
fifteen miles to get his baggage and
then drive home. Or ne could gel
off the train at Powell, leave his bag.

He chose the latter course, and as

said apologetically, "I'm too close

it is the rarest nature anybody ever

SECOND ANNUAL
GARRISON SHOW
Closed Saturday, and Proved Big
Success, With Great Variety
of Exhibits.

The second annual corn show at
Garrison closed Saturday night and
was one Of the most successful at.
fairs that was ever held on the Mis-
souri, slope. The attendance was
large and every feature as advertis-
ed was far better than expected. The
great show building was crowded to
the doors from morning till night
with enthusiastic people viewing the
remarkable showing of agricultural
products. Every II of the twenty
six big booths was taken and filled
with exhibits 10y the farmers. 10.
w. Bills won the first prize for the
best individual and the Emmett Farm
Club won the farm club prize. Mr..
Bills exhibit contained 11S different
articles grown on his farm.
Ladies Department.
The ladies department was well fill
ed with the best of the handiwork OF
the %wcmenfolk, from plain sewing to
the fanciea" piece of work. Canned
fruits and vegetables as we'll as cook.
ing formed an important part OF this
exhibit.
Corn Display.
The great display Of corn which oc-
cupied a prominent place through the
center of the building over a hun
dred feet long, made every one mar
vel at the results that have been at
tanned in this community in SO short
a time. There was corn from the or
iginal IMiEaH brn to the Big yellow
dent andde al good. George Barrow
won the sweepstakes prize in corn
as we'll as the prize for the best dis
play Of corn by one a He exhib'
iJed fifteen varieties of mature corn.
One great feature of the corn e
hibit was that of the display by the
Berthold Indians.
Potato Contest.
The 500 line potato contest was
very interesting and called out a big
exhibit which was won by Harold
Burns, a school boy of the Stevenson
school district. The sweepstakes po-
tato exhibit over all, was won by
Ralph Ireland, a school boy of the
Garrison school district. In the school
children's corn contest the first prize
was won for the second time, by
Henry Barrows, a tourteen-year-old
boy Of the Hackett school district.
Over fifty thousand ear of corn were
exhibited.
Fine Addresses.
The addresses by Professor Rand
lej1 of the agricultural college, .as
we'll as those of r. A. Hoverstad OF
the 500, and Miss Newton Of the
agricultural college, were we'll re-
ceived. The address of Hon. Wesley
c. Mcdowell on Saturday afternoon
was a masterpiece of eloquence and
the immense audience which heard
him gave him round after round of
applause.
People attended from all over the
state and were one and all surprised
to see such a showing as Garrison
has made. The show will be cOntin-
ued from year to year and will do
much to improve the agricultural
of the community.

officer with two hundred men from
Glasgow came to London on the same
train with the writer. The men had
all failed on eye tests and the Off
GERS assignment was to pilot the
Scotchmen to London and to get
them aboard a train for Scotland, not
an altogether easy job. 1t was jok-
ingly explained that the Scotch sur
geons received half a crown for ev-
cry man they passed on enlistment.
Hard Training.
The recruits are earnest and are
worked very hard. One basic princi-
pie Of the training seems to be the
order that every man shall walk at
least fifteen miles daily. Since a
large proportion of the recruits come
from offices and other indoor employ
meDt this alone is a weary process.
Very few of the men have any desire
to kick about the footballs which are
provided for recreation and the six
moving picture shows or "cinemas"
as they are called here, are not all
crowded. The t'pubs' close in Alder
shot at eight each evening and by
nine o'clock the town is as quiet as
any rural village.
Immense Task.
AS for the immense amount Of de-
tail necessary to equip the troops
that are nov being raised in Eng
land, some idea of the undertaking
may be CLEANED from two acquisitions
issued by the war office yesterday, the
first for one million and a half of
blankets, the second for five hundred
thousand razons. Evidently the Brit
ish soldier is expected to shave him
self, instead Of enjoying the atten-
tons CT a company barber.
The German prisoners at Alder
shot are in barbed wire enclosures
lighted at night by arc lights. About
two thousand of them had arrived in
AldershoE September Is, and they are
having precisely the same fare as the.
English soldiers. AS one spectator
paradoxically expressed it, they are
perfectly happy but thoroughly dis
.contented.' Leapfrog is apparently
their only recreation. At present they
are nc: permitted to correspond with
people at hcme although they had
that privilege until a few days ago.
In the house of commons yesterday a
representative of the war office said
that such privileges "have been tenn
porarily suspended until such time as
the German government sees fit to
grant similar, privileges to British
prisoners in Germany" He conclud-
ed his explanation of the situation
with this expression, II hope the Jus
pension will be of short duration"

MORRISTOWN, June morris
town people are looking forward to
the time when the proposed postoffice
building will grace the site which the
government purchased at the head of
Morris street. Plans for the building
nave been prepared apd a sketch of
the proposed structure has been Sc
cured through the efforts of Robert
ID. Foote, of this town. Congressman
futile has advised Mr.. Foote that the
working drawings for the building are
now being prepared and should be
completed about July l. The specifi-
cations will then be written and it is
expected that bids will be called for
early in the fall.
The building is to be of two stories,
Harvard brick and marble columns,
the architecture to be along colonial
lines. For the latter feature the town
has Mr. Foote to thank, for the orig
inal plans called for a building with
the general lines of mausoleum, but
upon his strenuous objections the
plans were changed and Morristown
will have a building fashioned along
colonial lines in sympathy with it's
historical associations.
A room is to be provided for United
