PROBATION OFFICER
BILL PASSES SENATE

The act to make sheriffs of this
state ex-officio probation officers and
which has the opposition of many
women's clubs and organizations Of
the gentler sex over the state, was
passed by the senate this morning
under fire of several senator's. who
declared passage Of such measure
was a most reactionary step. The
act is known as senate bill number
140, substitute for senate bill number
81. 1t passed by vote Of 20 to H..
Senators Hart, Whitcomb, Frazier,
Rockwell and Proctor spoke for It..
Macbeth, Zuck, Graham and Elliott
were strongly against 1t. Those in
favor of the measure claimed the bill
would not jeopardize the good work
of juvenile courts; those opposed to
It were confident that It would result
in that very thing. The latter CLOSED
passage of a measure of this kind
was reactionary in the EXTREME

PINGREE TO THE FORE

The Pingree townsite has been pur-
chased by a company who are carry
ing out a plan to colionize the COM
munity in a most effective way. There
are some 1900 town lots and so gar
den tracts and small farms incorpor-
ated in the plan, and they hope to
find purchasers for all of it within
the coming year or so. 1t Is said
to be very strong organization, and
with the great resources of the sur
rounding country there is no reason
why it should not be made an i'm
portant, shipping and trading center.
1t has the railroad, good depot, a
fine hotel, a fine schol house and
some business houses we'll built.
A blacksmith shop is the latest ad-
dition to the business Of the town,
and farmers in the community are
signing up to raise large quantity
of sugar beets for 1915. A CONNER
cial club has been organized, and
the members will give some substan-
tial aid to the work of making a
greater Pingree. One of the things
they have in mind to try to secure
is stock yards to enable them to load
stock on the cars.

CANNING FACTORY
IS SECURED FOR
THE GROVE CITY
Plant of Latest Type to Cost $4,000


Plans were perfected last week
which assures the immediate erection
of a $4,000 canning factory in this
city, and the launching of new in
dustry which promises to be one Of
the biggest boons that have come to
this community. The project has re-
ceived the financial and moral sup
port of the representative and wealth.
lest farmers and business men of
Blackfoot, and that no time will be
lost in prosecuting the work to
prompt AMI successful conclusion was
shown Saturday evening when the
subscribers, at a harmonious meet
ing, appointed an executive board to
act on behalf of the company.
The work of interesting the farm
ers and business men in the industry
was begun last month when J. A.
Law and w. F. Dreher, of Salt Lake
City met with the representative
men and presented plan which
made a strong appeal to them. A
committee consisting of E. M. Ken
nedy, P. E. Van Orden and Ernest
F. Hale, were elected as the execu-
tive board. One Of their first duties
was to secure a site for the fac
tory. This will necessarily be on or
near the railroad.
The factory will have an initial
capacity of 10000 cans per day of
the different kinds of fruits and veg
etables, and will distribute many
thousands of dollars in this communi-
ty for products that heretofore have
been going to waste.
The company will be incorporated
under the state laws, and the stock
will all be owned by the people of
this community. Stockholders will
be given the preference of growing
the product for the factory.
The building will be erected south
of Snake river bridge just opposite
Judge Doud's residence and on the
west side of the railroad track and
wagon road. 1t will be frame build
ing, two stories, on cement founda-
tions. Work commenced on the build
ing Wednesday, and drilling outfit
began drilling for water on Thursday,
with orders to go deep enough to
secure a good supply Of pure water.
The work of securing the needed
subscriptions to the enterprise has
been greatly aide1 by Mayor r. N.
West, P. e. Van Orden and Ernest
Iale.

In Nobody's Court

Blackfoot has been disturbed by
some violations of the moral law of
late, and lot of the 'scandally in
clined" residents have been invent
ing additions to the stories of what
seems to have really happened. AS
is usual in such cases some of the law
abiding people have been made VIC
tins of these damaging stories, and
they victimized one man who was not
disposed to allow his name to be used
in that way. The statement came
from William Springsteed, vagrant
serving second term of 80 days in
the county Jail for the present winter,
the man who carries the meals to the
court house FOR the other prisoners.
In his statement he used the name of
Georeg Keberlein, and when Mr.. Keb-
erlein heard of it he went promptly
to the court house to interview
Sheriff Simmons about the fellow and
found Springsteel alone in the office
for the moment. On being informed
that Simmons was out of town, Mr..
Keberlein confronted Springsteel
about the statements he had made,
and Springsteel added insult to the
injury. Mr.. Keberlein promptly
smashed him in the face a number of
times and put the fear of gossip into
him sufficiently we'll to last him for
the season. There are many other
scandal lovers and character assas-
sins in town of all grades and both
sexes who need as severe a treatment
as was administered to Springsteel.

In the Police Court

Ross Chalmers, Ed. Byers and Har-
ry Smith we're in police court Mon
day charged with having had fight
on Saturday night. No testimony was
taken in the matter, but 1t was report
ed that the fellows were kidding
one another in Smiths cafe and car
ried matters so far that Chalmers and
Byers hoped on to Smith with pieces
of furniture and beat him up. After
a lull in the battle Smith went out
side with them and started in to
get even but an officer arrived and
it was not finished
When arraigned before Judge Ezell
they admitted having had a fight,
expressed regret over their conduct
and promised to be good. Judge Ezell
fined Byers and Chalmers ten dollars
apiece and Smith five dollars.

COMMISSION SUSTAINED
BY Close Margin State Senate Permits
Public Utilities Commission
Certain Rights

BY vote Of 15 to IA the senate
Friday reserved to the public utilities
commission the right to regulate
competition among the public utili-
ties corporations of the state of Ida
no. The resolution was somewhat of
surprise, as previous test vote on
the measure favored it 19 to II. 1t
is probable that reconsideration will
be asked.
The section of the present low
which would be repealed by the bill
provides no public utility may enter
any new field without first obtaining
certificate of public convenience and
necessity from the commission.
Senator Pugmire, Democratic lead
er, made a plea for the passage of the
measure, contending that the plat
forms of both majority parties called
for this change.-Capital News.

Riverside, California, where he will
visit for several weeks with his
brother, who is raising oranges and
lemons there.

busy men of Blackfoot for the past
five years and in that time has not
had vacation. He said as he got
on the train that If anybody caught
him doing a lick of work for the
next 80 days it would be from force
of habit, not because he intended to
do it. His intention is to rest and
store energy.

NEWLY APPOINTED
ASYLUM BOARD IN
EXECUTIVE SESSION

The members of the newly appoint
ed Asylum board met at Blackfoot,
Monday afternoon, to go over some of
the matters which will need immedi-
ate attention when their commissions
take effect on the sixth of March.
The board organized with George
H. Fisher, Of Bancroft, chairman; L.
e. Dillingham;, of Mackay, secretary;
8. l.. Reece, of Blackfoot, being the
resident member here.
The board were anxious to deter
mine who should have charge of the
farm and garden for the coming year,
and make engagements so the work
might begin with the season and with
the most competent persons obtain
able. Lewis Killian, Of Blackfoot,
was engaged as farmer; and T. J.
Burns, as gardener. Both of these
gentlemen have had an extended ex-
perience in these positions and the
board were glad to secure their SER
vices.
In the matter of appointing the
medical superintendent it has been
known for some time that DR.. D'Orr
Pointer, of Montpelier, had been
agreed upon and it needed only the
confirmation of the board to settle
that. It is said that the present in
cumbent, DR.. Hyde, was an applicant
for reappointment, but this was not
acted upon. There are rumors afoat
indicating that the production of the
big farm has very materially de-
creased and the expense for food
stuffs increased accordingly under the
retiring administration; that the ap-
preparation is exhausted and unpaid
bills awaiting the action of the new
board
Whether these reports are we'll
founded or not will probably appear
when the board looks over the whole
situation, and the responsibility for
the choice of managers will rest with
them. The institution is in very
crowded condition and the board will
probably be obliged to provide addi-
tional accommodations for them in
some way.
Chairman Fisher is one of the lead
ing business men of Bancroft, and a
man of good address and good per-
sonal appearance. Secretary Dilling-
ham is the editor And proprietor of
The Mackay Miner and one Of the
active men whose influence is felt in
whatever is undertaken in that
county, relative to local or state mat
ters.
S. L. Reece is the cashier of The
First National bank Of Blackfoot, and
takes front rank among Blackfoot's
capable business men.
DR.. Pointer has been resident OF
Blackfoot and Montpelier for about
20 years and leaves very large prac-
tice at Montpelier to accept the posi-
tion of medical superintendent. He
was an attendent under DR.. Givens
and DR.. Moore in the asylum in the
long ago, and when DR.. Moore turned
over the institution to his successor
it was young Pointer who was called
to fill the place until other arrange
ments could be made.
Mr.. Killian and Mr.. Burns bear a
local reputation for having raised
the productiveness of the farm and
garden to the highest state ever at
tained there, a condition of no small
importance in meeting the expenses
for food supplies.
