GETTING READY

Dr. w. Mack, the well known
sportsman of the Island Park section,
the first of the week, shipped a guam
tity of lumber into the upper country
and will Immediately get busy with
the construction of new buildings for
his resort on the upper Snake. He
will also move his present house at
Trude siding to ground right next to
the track, so that patrons will have
shelter from sun, storm of mosquitoes
while they are waiting for trains or
rigs. Doc also states that he has
made preparations to build hunter S
cabin on his ranch property at Mud
lake this season, and the boys GER
tainly will not forget him or his
genial wife. He has recently estab-
lished a paper at Hamer, which he
says will be materially enlarged dur
ing the season. 1t is called the
Hamer News, and for the time being
printed by ready-print house in Salt
Lake.-Pocatello Tribune.

SUNDAY BACCALAUREATE

The baccaleaureate address given
at the high school by Rev. Luther
Stromuuist was listened to with
marked attention by packed house,
and was one of the best addresses
of it's kind yet delivered in Blackfoot,
It was not dramatic nor showy in any
respect. but was full of sound and
good principle.
The plan adopted this year, of haV-
ing all the exercises of simpler ma
ture and by home people, has met
with favorable comment from all
sides. No admission fee is charged
for any of the entertainments, and
while people may not have felt the
cost of tickets, yet commencement
exercises impress people somewhat
as do Fourth-of-July celebrations,
they like to feel that everybody has
an equal standing in them, and that
it is not the place for financing
things.
The graduating exercising will be
at the high school auditorium this
evening.

TRADE EXTENSION
EXCURSION COMING

Salt Lake business men are not
setting forth on the 1914 trade ex-
tension excursion expecting the cities
they visit to entertain them; rather.
they expect to entertain their hosts.
Held's famous brass band and the
Imperial Male quartet will accom-
pany the special train from the time
it leaves there May 31st, until it re-
turns from the 1900 mile swing
through northern Utah and Idaho,
June 9Th.
Held's band is famous throughout
the intermountain country. 1t is ac-
knowledged to be one of the premier
musical organizations of the west,
and will be conducted on the trade
excursion by the under and director
John Held.
There will be a concert by the
band and the quartet in every one
of the So cities where the special ex-
cursion train is scheduled to stop.
Because of the immense territory
covered and the number of cities on
the itinerary, stops must necessarily
be short-but they will be sweet.
Interest among Salt Lake business
men in the excursion is keen. Heads
of the most important business in
stitutions of the city are planning to
make the trip, to get better acquaint-
ed with the progressive citizens OF
northern Utah and southern Idaho.
The excursion will be under the di-
rection of the excursion committee
of the Commercial club, members OF
this committee, President F. Jensen,
Secretary w. C. Stark and members
of the board of governors will Off
cially represent the club on the trip,
while there will be countless lay rep
resentatives, as of the Manufacturers
association and other Salt Lake civic
organizations. While under the aus
pices primarily of the CONNER
cial club, the trade excursion is rep
resentative of all the civic and busi-
interests of the commonwealth.
The 100 or more excursionists
with their band and quartet and sup
ernumeraries, will arrive in Black
foot on their special train June S.
1914, for a stay from 1880 a. m
to 1890 p. m.

HOW SHORT LINE BUILT PARK

When the new depot at Blackfoot
was completed there was $2,700 left
of the appropriation, and it was ord
cred that the park be extended
block, using out of this $2,70O so
long as 1t lasted
The rock and other debris had to
be removed, then some fine sagebrush
soil was shipped in from near Aber-
deem and spread over the ground.
The next coat consisted of material
taken from the stock yards at Arco,
then a deep coat of the sitting from
the beet dumps where wagons are
unloaded and the fine soil from the
best farms in the country shakes out
of the fine roots of the beets in roll
ing from the wagons to the bins.
Much of the fine vegetable matter of
rootlets is carried with the sitting.
The top coat consists of fertilizer
from the sheep feeding grounds at
Spencer. Each coat was spread and
pulverized carefully before the next
one was put on, and now the water
ing is being done from the hose. An
engine and pumping plant at the
Blackfoot river supply the water to
the tank on Judicial street, and pipe
leads it to the park. A substantial
iron fence surrounds it and every
inch of the fencing material has been
coated with paint. A crew has been
working on some part of the parking
all fall and winter, and the $4,000
was wiped out long before it was
completed.
Occasionally we hear some man
saying the railroad company ought
to park the strip clear through the
town, and when we hear such re,
mark we like to go around and see
what kind of cooperation he is giving
in beautifying his grounds and the
boundaries, and in such cases VIZ
have sometimes found them lookins
about as tidy as a sheep camp. Th'
railroad usually sets a god example
but it waits for the citizens to d.
their share before they go to grea
lengths.

THE CITY BUSINESS

On Tuesday evening P. G. Johns
ton went before the board and asked
permission to build several blocks OF
pavement abutting his property on
south Schilling avenue and it was
granted He also asked the council
to extend the sewer line or name the
terms on which it might be extended
to serve that part of town. He
expects to build several residences
and would like to connect them with
the sewer. A street crossing was
asked for the lower end of the
avenue. He asked to have his field
taken out of the city plat to relieve
him of the heavy burden of city
taxes. He was granted permission
to build all the pavement he wanted
to and the things asked for that would
cost the city some money were re-
ferred to committee.
The city has had crew of work
men doing some grading on Court and
University and laying clay pipe to
take the place of an open ditch for
quite a distance. The work hung on
like the job that's never finished,
and there has been great deal of
talk about the expense of the pipes
and the expense of the long-drawn
out work. Other applications were
made for bitches to be piped, and
people looking into the matter and
guessing where it would end and were
predicting a bankrupt city govern
ment The council took the matter
up and adopted resolution to pipe
nothing hereafter except street cross
ings.
| Councilman Bond reported in re-
gard to the seeding of the street be-
tween the railroad right of way and
the residences between Sagehurst
and Bergman orchard, that there
seemed to be no legal provision by
which the council could grant per
mission for irrigation to get the grass
started in a street, and it was up to
the individuals to beautify the street
abutting their property if they could
with interrupting trayel.
Some minor matters regarding
sanitation, papers blowing about the
streets and alleys, hose for the Gem
etery, plating the location of wyes il
the sewer system and the control Of
hydrants were talked about ant
orders made regarding them.

CONSPIRACY OF
TWENTY-THREE
Chapter Seven

A year ago this week / met j. M.
Stevens on the street and he
asked me what thought about going
to trial at the May term of court
which was about to convene. l said
I was anxious to get into court and
fight it out but that my attorneys ad-
vised caution and delay until public
sentiment settled down to something
normal.
He said it was true that verdict
in such cases usually corresponds to
public sentiment unless the jury is
kept isolated from the public, and
even then they are liable to be swayed
by what they see and hear before be-
ing placed on the jury. He said pub
lie sentiment seemed to be nearly all
against me, but that it might all be
different in another week; that when
ever they got cooled down and over
their excitement was the time to try
the case, and for me not to go to
trial until that time came.
Among the many rumors that were
going the rounds was one to the eff
feet that certain parties on Little
Lost river wanted to help hire law
yers to prosecute me. That some Of
them were clients anyway, of certain
lawyers who were talked of as being
employed or about to be employed
or who would go into the case If
enough money could be raised.
There was some talk that these men
wanted to pay contingent fee
they would put few hundred dollars
apiece into the fund, and it was not
to be paid over to the lawyers ex-
cept on condition that the jury con-
victed me- Some of them seemed
willing to spend little money just
to help prosecute the case, but for
conviction they were willing to pay
we'll. I could not get anything very
definite at that time, but every time
any of them came to town I would
see them in close conference with a
man who for business reasons was
very active in turning everybody he
could against me.
One of my bondsmen told me that
people were making life miserable
for him because he would not with
draw from my bond; that he would
be glad when the siege was over
and that if he had not seen so man!
blackmailing cases in his life he
might yield to their clamor, but eX
perience had taught him to have faitl
in humanity and never to let loose
in storm. He had seen many case'
but this was one of the worst fo
people to take sides when they ough
to keep out. Sometimes he didn'
know hardly what to do, but beinl
constitutionally set in his ways h
guessed he would be able to stanC
them off but he didn't like to b
bounded about it so much.
There were other things happen
ing at this time which we had liste
for publication to show you some o
y the "inhumanity of man." (and VIC
MANI but since the publication of thi
series began they asked for quarter
and to be spared from being publicl
humiliated and agreed to be goo
hereafter. They did not spare us an
"a our loved ones year ago, but W
have sealed up that part of the stor
and this chapter is cut short.

Fierce
Battle
Raging

PARIS, Oct. 27.-The west
bank of the river User between
Newport and Dixmude is literal
~ an inferno. Already across the
stream the Germans are hurting
every ounce of their strength
against the allies front in a de-
termination to break through to
Dunkirk and Calais. The fight
ing is increasing constantly in
violence. Both sides are rushing
up reinforeements and il is adj
mitted that the situation marks
the climax of the western action
in the present war.
There was no cessation i'm the
struggle Monday night. Through
out the hours that should nave
been in darkness the combatants
played enormous searchlights
upon one another's ranks. Burst
ing bombs and shrapnel lit up the
heavens. The thunder of the en-
gagement could be heard for
miles. Warships and British
monitors are Smelling the Ger
mans mercilessly.
