lent fight with the elements to get
the soil to yield up crops adapted
to the ssemi-arid regions.
A century of progress in the de-
velopment of the west has taught
one lesson that only the short-sighted
will overlook. The solitary man ex-
plores new regions; little parties or
pairs of men investigate, and finally
the family unit comes to make 1t
their habitat and they stay. The
school is organized, the children
taught, the flag unfurled to indicate
the kind of government to observe,
and a unit of q commonwealth Is
born. Enemies may drive. them out
temporarily, crop failures may thin
their numbers at times, but the in
fiux of years exceeds the exodus, and
the natural increase builds up a pop
ulation that loves even the forbidding
things about 1t, and they think only
Of mastering the difficulties.
So strenuous becomes the night Tor
existence in many cases that the first
settlers face the struggle seriously
and set their ambitions only on exist
ance and are content to win. Those
that follow later, profit by the ex-
perience OF the first ones, and attain
great success. Comfort, profits, lux
ury, follow in unexpected waves, and
what was looked upon as folly In the
earlier stages becomes an accomp-
lished fact and source of much pros
perity both within and beyond the
borders Of the regions affected.
Blackfoot lies closest to the region
under discussion. It is connected
with it by rail and state highway,
by daily trains and daily autos. II
receives the first benefits CONNER
cially, and in case of crop failures
has the first chance to offer aid and
to help turn failure into success thru
perseverance. With this issue OF The
Republican, we begin a work OF years
reporting upon conditions as we find
them in the desert, and pointing out
with unfeeling sincerity our predic-
lions of successes and failures to be
expected from given conditions.

The lull of the lenten season is

free to proceed with. their frivolous
pleasure and the penitential period

The post Easter season was de-

CONQUERING THE
BIG DESERT

Counting all that country desert
between the irrigated districts of the
Snake river valley and Lost river,
is only fair and convenient way to
name it. We have called 1t, Snake
river plains" because 1t was less
forbidding expression than desert;
it has been demoninated, "The great
plains,'' "The dry farm region" and
various other things in the effort to
avoid the use of the ugly word,
Desert" but this paper will here
after face the problem squarely and
call the desert desert; a farm.
farm; field field; patch a patch;H
and failure failure. We are con-
vinced that this great belt of the

lease millions of wealth in the next
ten years, but not without much
courageous effort on the part OF
thousands Of people, many or whom
will figuratively, "bite the dust" and
be forgotten in the transformation.
For 80 years since travel by white
men began to be done with some sys-
tenn thru this part of the world, the
belt under discussion has been known
as "the big desert" and has been

men. 1t has reduced animal life by
heat and thirst IN summer and by
cold and snow in winter. 1t has
swallowed up herds of all kinds and
skeletons of travellers found from
time to time tell the story of the
fate of parties that sought to cross
it. Now, in the second decade OF
the twentieth century, a few thou
sand people have built homes upon
it's bosom, many of them equi-distant
from the two great rivers and as far
as possible from each of them. Some
have built shacks in the sheltered
places, and others have built fine
houses on the hilltops. Some have
drilled wells, two, three, six hundred
feet and obtained pure cold water,
and others have placed cutters on the
caves of the buildings and connected
with great cisterns SO they can be

LJME TO DINNER
MEN

Some dinners are coming up Tor
the business men of the town, served
by the ladies of the Village Improve
ment society, so the men can talk
of things that will better the condl-
tions. commercially. and otherwise.
The men will have chance to talk
a little on any subjects they wish,
and it is especially desirable that
they discuss those things that will
make for q cleaner town; more
beautiful appearance of private
grounds; better roads in the various
parts of the county; more co-opera-
ton in careful driving on roads and
streets; the possibilities of a greater
dairy industry and just how to get 1t
to operating; the way to get more
railroad facilities: the way to en-
courage dry farming and eliminate
the useless foolish risks; the way to
discourage the waste of water in ir-
rigation-Oh, there are plenty OF
theings to talk about, and something
more should be done than to take
absent treatment or to assent to
everything that is said and go home
satisfied.
Blackfoot will never live up to the
full measure of its opportunities I'M
til it's people begin to cultivate OPP
timism or discomfort or both. A year
ago some fellow wearing a celluloid
collar blew into town and told some
of the club women that he could tell
them what was the matter with the
town and for $50 he would go farther
and tell the people how to work to
administer the remedy. They fell for
it and handed him the $50 and had a
couple of public meetings. Scarcely
anybody went and when he told them
the same things that had been pub
lished and were fresh in the minds
of the readers, people went home and
said they. knew that before.
If they had handed the fellow the
$50 to go out and do the work and
had gotten the work done in advance
of payment, that would have been
practical, but what Blackfoot needs
is to have all of its dirty alleys and
unsightly things made to stand out
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1916-04-28

The meeting was one Of harmony
and earnest attention to all matters
pertaining to national politics, and
while many men were there who ex-
pect to be candidates for state Of
fees, nothing of the kind was in
jected into the proceedings ard very
little was said about those things
outside of the meetings. 1t was the
occasion for a pleasant reunion OF
the big men of the state, and was
marked by uncompromising OPPOSE
tion to Democracy.
