JAMES Il. GOOD, POLICE JUDGE

James E. Good, lawyer, has been
rendered the nomination for police
Judge, and says that while he did
not seek the nomination he will be
glad to fill the position if the people
see fit to elect him. He believes
firmly in the advisability of acquir-
ing a power plant for the city, even
if they have to bond the city to make
a start, and then bond again later
for more money to continue develop
ment work and to add to the plant as
the town grows.
Mr.. Good has given considerable
study to the matter at Idaho Falls.
and has been much impressed with
the values added to the city and the
revenue added to the treasury by the
development and operation of power
plant there. He believes Blackfoot
should provide for it's future even If
it has to let the ture pay off mu h
Of the bonds in order to enjoy the
benefits of the early effort and in
vestments in the power site and
equipment.

C. +. SMITH, COUNCILMAN

G. F. Smith is for cleanliness and
has b en- all these years in Blackfoot
He. has built up The Blackfoot Steam
Laundry, an institution that has
taken more starch out of shirt
bosoms, shirt waists and other out
ward appearances than anybody else
on the ticket. The machinery in his
steam plant has separated much dirt
and grease from clothing and floated
it off down the sewer, and if he is
elected on the council he might vote
to separate capital from eastern in
vestors in the process of floating
bonds to get money to develop more
power.
If anybody asks you what is the
bonding limit for Blackfoot, ask Mr..
Smith, and he will ask you how many
new additions will be added to Black
foot before you wake up and say
whether you want municipal power
plant. He lives out in the Younie
Addition and represents the third

FRANK HEESE, COUNCILMAN

Mr.. Heese is a man who feels an
interest in securing the best there
is within the reach of the town finan-
cially in the way of public improve
ments that are in constant demand
and which tend to save their cost;
if there is both economy and security
in the town owning it's own light
plant and water system, he suggests
that he rising generation can have NO
ground for objection if they inherit
some bonded Indebtedness along with
a valuable utility.
He thinks a man should own his
home; a city should own it's own
water and other necessities; it should
not wait until power sites are taken
and then go out cunning for sites
to develop. He thinks Blackfoot
should display more pluck and push
than it has been doing, and has been
rendered and has accepted the NOM
ination for councilman for the first
ward because of his holding these
views.
Mr.. Heese as lived in Blackfoot
20 years, and is carpenter and con-
tractor, who has erected many houses
and helped make the habitat now
constituting many beautiful homes.
He lives at the corner of University
and Jackson streets in the first ward.

on the dry farm, and his windmills
are pumping water on many desert
farms without in any degree discom-
moding the wind or firing it out. If
the city undertakes to build a power
plant and he is on the council, let
us hope he will be as interested in
making the water work while it
passes the wheel as he IS in making
the wind lift the water on the farms.

years ago, Mr.. Hendrie has been
very busy man having been field

toring and tramping, Rockefeller an
nounced that he would not return to

with the men in the camp. Before re-
firing, Mr.. Rockefeller ate dinner in
the miners boarding house, and then,
spent the early evening talking with
the men, who had just come from the
underground workings.
Mr.. Rockefeller had to wait for the
second table at the Primero boarding
house. When he arrived, tired and
hungry, the boarding house boss said
all the tables were filled, so the repre-
sentative of Wall street and Stand
