keeps what they call "file;" copy
of each paper they print during the
year, but not all publishers are care
full to preserve them. If duplicate
proof of publication Is wanted three
or four years after publication is
made, even tho the title to a mans
farm is stake, it often happens that
it is impossible to produce it. If a
newspaper burns out and loses it's
records, all this protection is lost.
In The Republican office are 20
big books-the files of The Idaho Re-
publican since the day it started, and
the files of competitors for years. all
bound and preserved for reference.
1t frequently happens that attorneys
come to us for duplicate proofs for
clients whose titles are in danger,
and so many such calls have been
made that two separate files have
been kept for years for use in filling
our competitors or their customers
have come to us for proofs of what
they had published in their own
papers. We have preserved the
records of their business better than
they had done themselves. Bond is
sues involving large sums of money
have been saved from dissolution by
our systematic preservation of
records and our fortunate escapes
from fire loss.
In the new Republican building a
fire-proof vault is being built to sup
plement the safe in the bookkeeper's
office, and each time a legal notice
is published of the class referred to,
the ordinary proof Of publication will
be made and delivered to the GUS
toner or his attorney, two copies of
the paper will be placed in the emerg-
ency file, and in addition to that a
duplicate copy Of the proof of pub
lication will be made out, dated, sign
ed and filed, and at the end of each
month the package of proofs will be
labeled and placed in the storage
vault to be brought to light if they
are ever needed.
In the same way the record of jobs
of commercial printing will be pre-
served. In the past few years we
have preserved the record of each
piece of work for q couple of years
after 1t was done. In the new biuld-
ing the records and samples will be
preserved for longer period. Each
job is dated and numbered, and all
jobs for month are stored under
date of that month and year. The
filing case in the new vault will have
a capacity for these things for five
years work. All these things help
to make up the Dependable Service"
that constitutes the slogan of the
working force at The Republican Of

DEATH OF JACOB TEENEY

Jacob G. Teeney departed this life
on Saturday, the eleventh of Novem-
Der, 1915, at the home of his daught-
er, Mrs. William Kinds, four miles
east of Blackfoot.
Deceased has been almost helpless
for the past three years, and the end
was not unexpected. He was vet
eran of the Civil war, having enlist
ed in Company e. Of the Fifty-third
regiment of Illinois volunteers on
the fifteenth of December, 1861. On
the twelfth of July, 1863, he received
a gunshot wound at Jackson. Missis-
sippi, and in consequence of this he
was discharged from the service on
the twentieth of November, 1864, at
Quincy, Illinois.
Two years ago his son-in-law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Kinds, took
him to California hoping the lower
altitude and the milder climate would
benefit him, but it did not and after
about year they returned to their
home at Blackfoot. When the end
came last Saturday they communicat-
ed with other members of the family
and it was decided to bury the re-
mains at the old home at Elk City,
Kansas, and his son, j, E. Teeney,
accompanied the casket in transit,
leaving here Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Kinds was not we'll enough
to make the trip, having been worn
by the long vigils.

PUBLISHERS BURDEN

The publishers burden, it is well
to note before grumbling over-much
at any unwelcome increase in the
price of his wares, seems in these dis
tracted times to be taking on proper
tions comparable with those of the
proverbial camels load which needs
only a straw to become a back-break-
er. Briskness in the munitions
market makes for torpor in the trade
of books and other reading matter,
because high explosives use up at a
ruinOus rate materials needed by
makers Of the paper on which those
books are printed. A recent estimate
made by ''The Publishers Weekly"
sets the average cost of all classes
of book and periodical paper at 80
per cent in advance of it's cost before
the war. War-promoted prosperity,
has not been shared in by the pub
Usher. He is forced to pay more for
both labor and material, while
world caught in cataclysm is not
the likeliest sort of world to buy
books and devote itself to the calm
delights of their perusal.-The Dial.

OLD NEWSPAPER Is
GIVING NEW SERVICE
Provides q Species of Insurance for
Patrons in the New Building.
The Plan Explained

For a number of years The Idaho
Republican has been following a
course in preserving records that
gave unusual protection to custom
ers, but not many people knew about
it. One of the things provided for
in the new Republican building is
an extension of this protection for
the customer.
There is class of notices publish
ed in newspapers that are called
"legals." They have to do with the
titles to property as in the settlement
of estates; the establishment of pat
ents to public lands as in the case of
homesteads and desert proofs; the
title to property sold by the couN or
its order; the title to water stock
sold after publishing delinquent no.
tice; the validity of bonds as in bond
ing a school district or town or
village; the legality of court decis-
ions based upon proofs, that publica-
tion has been made on certain dates;
the validity of the acts of guardians
in handling property for heirs, and
various other legal steps that are
vital to the persons affected.
Experience has shown that there
are two points of danger by which
people may meet with losses unless
protection is provided against the un-
forseen things that follow One is
in having errors in the publication
of legal notices, not corrected in the
proof reading, and the other is in
having the proof of publication lost
or destroyed and not being able to
get duplicate. Every newspaper

IF NEWSPAPER PRICES GO UP

The continued pinch of the paper
famine is making nationwide stir
in newspaper circles, and it brings
publishers back to the old question,
ITO be or not to be"
The Republican has been hoping it
could get thru without disturbing
prices of subscription, and still hopes
to do so. No change in the matter
will be made before the first of jan
uary, and those who hold receipts for
subscription paid up to a given date
will not be affected by the change
until their paid subscriptions expire.
The person whose subscription is paid
to January 1917 or 1918 has by his
prompt payment in advance benefited
the publisher and at the same time
secured himself against possible
rise of price.

TAKE FAMILY TO BOISE
FOR RABIES TREATMENT

Roy Ivy and family, who live west
of Blackfoot, in the Moreland dis
trict, were summoned to Boise last
week by the state health department
to undergo treatment because of hav-
ing been exposed to the infection of
rabid stock. Mr.. Ivy lost a number
OF horses, and others of his neighbors
lost cattle. Not knowing what was
the matter with the animals they
tried drenching and all means to save
them, thereby running the risk of
infection. Paul H. Alfred, who
brought in the head of a COW to send
to Boise this week, lives in that same
community, and said that within the
radius of few miles nearly $1,000
worth of stock has been lost recently
thru rabies, chiefly contracted from
the bite of infected dogs. He said
the people are becoming alarmed and
are asking for concerted action in
muzzling the dogs or shooting them.

BLAZE AT COUNTY SCHOOL
UPERINTENDTNT'S HOME

About noon Tuesday the residence
of Mrs. Lulah Smith took fire and
came near burning down. The fire
was discovered by Mr.. and Mrs. s.
L. Reece, who live next door, and
first aid was quickly given. A little
water by the fire company finished
the job and there was but little dam
age aside from the smoke.
The fire started near the kitchen
range but seems to have originated
in the hot air pipes in the partition.
Nail holes were found in them at the
point where the fire did most damage.
1t burned a strip of partition a foot
wide and a few feet righ, burned thru
the floor and saturated the furnish
ings with smoke.
The loss was covered by insurance.

AID SOUGHT FOR A

Word was brought to the county
commissioners last week thru A. S.
Dickinson that John Williams lay
sick at ranch east of town, i'll fed
and ill covered, and desiring death.
1t was said he had not even under
wear. Mrs. Williams is at her ranch
on Henry creek, and from his two
daughters the sick man could not re-
ceive proper attention. The commits
sioners took up the matter to in
vestigate and help out the situation.

MOTORING PARTY HAS
VERY NARROW ESCAPE

Mr.. and Mrs. S. l.. Reece, with G..
R. Hit, state bank commissioner,
and L. c. Collins, assistant cashier
of the First National bank, were re-
turning from a Challis- Mackay trip,
by way of IDAHO Falls, when sharp
turn, concealed from the approach
ing driver, caused an overturn of the
car and destruction of the cover. By
good fortune none of the occupants
was injured seriously, tho Mr.. Hit
was badly bruised.
1t was Sunday morning when the
party left Salmon, and within seven
miles of Idaho Falls they came upon
the irrigation ditch before they saw
it and were tumbled out. The car
was righted, the cover thrown to one
side, and they had a cold ride into
the Falls, in Is below weather.

merchants were not advertising so
he could visit them. spin web across
