That Expectation Of War Materials

war Is an issue being pushed In Power
County by many representative men
of the town and country. Influential
men of the county are circulating pc
representatives In Congress asking
them to support the neutrality bill re-
Gently introduced into the Senate by

selling arms, ammunition Or artillery
and explosives, Of any kind for ex-
except upon proof that said arms. am
unition, artillery and explosives are
not TO be used IN said war against a
country with which the United States
is at peace.

GERMAN AIRCRAFT
BOMBARD ENGLISH TOWNS
Several Deaths Reported and Proper
ty Loss Said to be Large.

German sircrait' made long threat
ened raids on England Tuesday night
and attempted to blow up with bombs
the kings royal residence in Sand
ringham county Norfolk. King George
and Queen Mary, who had been stay
ing at Sandringham with their family,
returned to London only Monday to re-
sumo their residence in Buckingham
palace.
1t is not definitely known whether
the raiders were Zeppelins or aero
planes, but Zeppelins were reported
Tuesday afternoon as passing over the
North sea In a western direction, and
there. is an inclination to believe these
were the raiders.
( The night was quite calm but dark
and cloudy which made 1t impossible
for the people in the towns over which
the outlines OF the machines, though
the whirr of their propellers and the
droning of their motors could be heard
distinctly.
A Zeppelin is reported to have been
brought down by the fire of a warship
at Hunstanton few miles north OF
Sandringham.
Bombs were dropped in Yarmouth,
Kings Lynn, Sandringham, Cromer,
Sheeringham and Beeston and every
where except at Beeston, casualties
and damage to property resulted
The first place visited was the wide
town of Yarmouth. A man and wo-
man were killed number OF other
persons were injured, and much dam
age to property was done by the raid
ers in their visit which lasted less
than ten minutes. Four or five bombs
were dropped in Yarmouth.

Neeley settlement and we would have
been helpless had there been an up
rising
During this excitement an anus
ing thing happened. John Calder was
living at the mouth of Rock Creek,
taking care of some placer mines there
Among his possessions was an old
yellow mule which wore a bell when
not working. One day the mule con-
cluded to go on a visit to Halls ranch
on Raft river The mule arrived after
dark. The man staying at the ranch
heard the bell and imagined the In
dians were coming. He corralled the
stock on the ranch and then sought
refuge in the top of a cedar tree.
where he stayed all night, nearly
freezing
Another early day tragedy was the
drowning of Joe Bush. He attempted
to swim across the river at Ferry Hol-
low. after some cows, and was drown
ed My boys found his body on the
bank of the river at Neeley. We sent
word to the people of American Falls
but they did not seem to want his
body-he was "a rather worthless fell
low-so we made coffin for him and
gave him decent burial.
Another tragedy occurred in making
an arrest. Two men had been guilty
of some misdeed, I do not just remem-
ber what, now. and the sheriff was
after them. They came as far as my
place and separated, one going west,
and one turning toward Neeley, and
hiding in the willows on the place now
owned by Lot Payne. The sheriff and
deputies came along soon after and
followed the one who went toward
Neeley. In a little while they came
back and stopping at my place lifted
cover and disclosed the body of a
man. The man had no gun and I al
ways thought his killing was unneces-
sary.
These were happenings of the years
from 1882 to 1884, according to my rec
objections.

UNCLE SAM TOO POOR.
Cannot Provide Mail Route For Flor.
ishlng Country.

The florishing country of Crystal is
still handicapped by lack of a star
mail route. Every time the people pc
tition they meet with rejection ON the
ground that cancellation of their post
office does not warrant the expense
of mail route. II Poeatello and Am
erican Falls would report cancellation
that comes from that community Tn
Gle Sam might be surprised.
Every resident of Crystal Is an un-
paid mail carrier On every trip made
to or from Pocatello or American Falls
by residents of that settlement, mail
Is carried back and forth. Sometimes
the load on returning is one-third mail.
These facts taken from the county
record show the need of mail route:

Number paying on real estate ........ 30
Number paying on improvements

Indian Scare.

Stokes was the cause of our only
Indian scare. One day when a number
of Indians were in town, Stokes went
into Danielson & Stevens store and
asked to buy some cartridges. The
clerk refused to sell him any. where
upon Stokes jumped over the counter
and got them. The clerk, fearing for
his life, ran out doors. Mr.. Campbell,
who was then running a butcher shop
warned the Indians and everyone else
TO seek places OF safety. Stokes ran
out of the store and began shooting at
the Indians who mounted and rode
past Mary Franklin's house, seeking
safety in flight Stokes got on his
horse and followed them for about
three miles. shooting one of them in
the foot
The Indians sent word that they
must have Stokes or they would kill
all the people on the river. This caus-
ed great apprehension for a time.
There were only three guns in the

KETTNER FIGHTS WITH

San Diego, Sept. 21.-William
Kettner will fight for a higher
, tariff at the next session Of con,
gress. He wants the schedule

''Protect the farmer" is his
slogan. "iIf the farmers have

they raise children who need
clothes and shoes. Then, they
like to send their children to
schools in cities. | believe most

come from the country"
Kettner favors a tariff commits
sion. He would refer the entire
question to the trade commission,
which he declares. "has more
power than commissions created
hv the federal government usu-
ally have.
II believe all that is necessary
to put the tariff problem into the
hands of this commission is a res
olution. This commission can
And out just what the different
industries Of the country need in

Always For Protection.
He stated that he was always
a protection democrat and would
fight anything or anybody for the
interest of his district.
"I've been in California since
1885" he said. "and have learned
to love it. I viii do nothing that
