THE PUBLIC RESPONDS

Two weeks ago we announced the
purchase and installation of a new
lightning printing press in The Re-
publican office, operated by an indi-
yidual motor with a speed regulator.
We mentioned that they had been
placed on cement bases to give
steadiness so the printing would
be perfect. The press is es-
pecially designed for light work
such as cards and office sta
tionary and since the public learned
we had it, they have responded with
so many orders and repeat orders
1t was very gratifying to the manage
ment, especially in view of the fact
that the patrons were delighted with
the product.
We seem to be printing the can
didates' campaign cards for the
county and have filed number of
orders from other counties

SUGAR BEETs SO PER TON
Utah-Idaho Sugar Company Declares
Willingness to Pay
Price

An additional SO cents ton will
be paid to sugar beet growers in Utah
and Idaho this year. This informa-
tion was made public few days ago
by the general manager of the Utah
Idaho Sugar company. This will
mean that on the average the farm
ers will receive $5.75 for their beets
altho in many cases higher sum will
be received.
The increase will provide for to-
tai payment of about 100000 to the
farmers above the average amounts
paid in other years. All beets are
raised on contract price and the so
cents additional is purely voluntary
on the part Of the company and Is
due entirely to the wish of the COM
pany to live up to its promise to
make increased payments should
business justify such a course.
Abnormal conditions in the sugar
industry, whereby the sugar produc-
ers are receiving higher prices for
their product and the directors feel
it is right that the beet growers par
ticipate in the prosperity of the SUI
gar industry.
In this locality the contract price
of beets per ton is five dollars fiat
and the bonus given by the company
will this year bring beets up to $3.50.
Heber G. Austin, head of the local
factory informs us that at the end
of the seasons run the average sugar
content is figured up and all over
a certain per cent is paid to the farm
ers in addition to the fiat rate of IS.
In past years this has run about SO
cents a ton and this, with the SO
bents bonus, will bring the local price
of beets this year to about Sc. In
round numbers there are 10000
acres of beets grown for the three
factories in this part of the state and
the extra money the factory will pay
out this year will amount to several
thousand dollars.
Another prosperous year seems to
be staring the Idaho farmer in the
face. Wool is higher this year than
it has ever been known to go before;
wheat and other small grain will
bring a good price; so will hay be
high IL indications count; good
price for potatoes is predicted, and
with the unprecedented price of beets
in store, the average Idaho farmer
will have a gladsomeness In his poe
textbook almost to the bursting point.

PROOFS OF PROSPERITY
Paving Begun

FaVlnS DeSun
Contractor Mcclure has erected
his rock hopper and pavement mixer
near the Mackay tracks south of town
and already has had some of the
course rock base hauled to South
Taylor street, where men and teams
and a heavy roller have been shaping
and leveling the street. The curbs
are practically all finished and well
hardened; along Main street the work
of widening the sidewalks by six feet
has progressed from Sexton to Alice.
The New Hotel
Excavation on the basement has
been about completed and now con-
crete mixer is busy making the COM
pound to fill the foundation forms,
which are all ready on one side.
New Office Building
The Idaho Lumber company's new
office quarters Will soon be ready.
The building Is west of the present
office on Bridge, is two stories high
and built of pressed brick.
The Three Bungalows
Three honey little bungalows are
under construction, nearing the fin
ishing touches. On South Shilling,
the street of pretty homes is one for
Mr.. Wiggand and one for Frank Ber-
ryman. The later is having the outer
walls built of the picturesque burn
ed brick. The third house Is that of
Frank DeKay on North University,
above Alice. All are well fashioned
and carefully planned and they will
help the already high standard Of
Blackfoot homes.
Fresh Air House
Mrs. George e. Campbell, on
Northeast Main lis building summer
house of two rooms for her young
men boarders, who have been talking
about outdoor sleeping since early
spring. The house Is oblOng and the
walls only go half way to the roof,
the rest to be screened and open. The
little bachelor house stands among
the shady fruit trees on the lawn
north of the Campbell house, 1t will
be a dandy refuge from heat, turmoil
and the "maddening crowd"

German Submarine With 1000 Tons
of Dye Stuffs Steams Into
Chesapeake Bay

At 1920 Sunday morning the
the watchers as Cape Henry sighted
the submarine Deutschland, the long
promised cargo bearing submersible,
which many thought was a myth.
She is the largest submarine in the
|ocean and carried to America 1000
tons of dye stuffs from the old re-
liable German manufacturers.
This diving boat is 315 feet long,
whereas the hitherto largest German
war submarines are less than 300
feet. No passengers were carried,
only the crew of 29 men and Captain
Koenig. These sailors were all taken
from Germany's merchant fleet, and
therefor can not be held for combat
tants, as have been other crews in
termed within neutral ports.
Regular Line
It is the intention to start a regu-
lar line of undersea merchantmen
running from German ports to Ameri-
ca, which, according to German
agents here will commence operat-
ing in a few weeks The boat made
record for submarine voyages, be-
cause she was chased 500 miles out
of her course by British and French
Warships. Whenever any ship was
sighted that might be a warship, the
boat would dive under the water to
escape. The fact that British and
French vessels were encountered
argues that the feat was not laughed
a. in England as it was here. They
were watching and even as near to
the destination as off the Virginia
coast a BritishNwar vessel scared the
200 $miles out to sea

recognized even tho run up in imita-
tion. of a big liner, first showing
bright and then being dim.
They fooled me- said the look
out afterwards, "they are arranged
to fool enemy warships and they GER
Itainly do it,; at first Ibid not dare
Ito report her to Captain Hinsch for
fear that | might be wrong-when
he heard about it he was the hap
|plest man in the world"
Not Built to Fight
The Deutschland carries mast
that sticks Is feet above the surface
OF the water. Her name is painted
in an arc around the ancor chocks in
letters foot high. She has hand
rail about three feet high that runs
all the way around. This is for the
protection of the crew. 1t Is like
the bridge of an ocean liner, and is
not such as has ever been used on
a submarine before. In fact, this Is
the first submarine built for the pur-
pose of carrying goods and not fight
ing or exploring. With one-third
the length of the largest ocean going
liners, she has a speed of IL knots,
and made the trip across the ocean
with the 1000 ton cargo in 16 days.
There is absolutely no war-like ap-
paratus about this boat, not space
for ammunition, nor mechanism for
throwing guns up or torpedoes forth.
Improved Machinery
\ There are number of new things
about this submarine which show the
fertility of German science, in the
face of difficulties and lack of ma
terial hTe most important new fea-
ture perhaps, is the clutch by which
the electric batteries used when the
boat travels beneath the surface can
be recharged from time to time. This
one point is chiefly responsible for
the tsuccess of long distance under
sea navigation. Then, the German
chemists have supplied an apparatus
that purifies air, after it has been
breathed.
Enough food was carried in the
highly perfected German style OF can
ned and tubed nourishment to last
the crew three months, and they car
ried an emergency supply of more
concentrated food that would have
fed them for some time after that.

BURNED INFECTED BROOD

Bee Inspector Stoneman recently
made series of visits to bee colonies
thruout the county and in one or two
places found hives infected with the
American Fall brood. There were
four such cases, one at Kimball and
three at Basalt. This disease is COM

to another and the hive has to be
burned when once infected.

fans were treated to one of the best
games staged on the local diamond
for noticeable length Of time. Po-
catello came up with thcir strongest
lineup and expected to add another
victory to the string already at their
belt; but when the dust cleared
lackfoot was on top and the score
was three to one.
Feature Plays
The game was full of fast plays
and happy endings. Jimmie Sullivan,
on second for the locals, played a
star game He started two double
plays and his one-hand stop of
Adolph's drive in the sixth made Ed
die Collins look like a second rater.
Sorenson caught a steady game and
the rest of the team fielded in major
league style. Blackfoot sat on the
bleachers and howled with. honest
pride.
Keltus pitched with his usual pre-
cision and success; the fans are COM
mencing to realize that he is a jewel
and to show their appreciation Of his
good work.
Lead i'm First
The game was decided in the first
inning. DeKay safe on an error, ad-
vanced to second on Sullivan's sac
rifice. Lloyd singled to left and
afterwards stole second and Thor
stenberg famed. Keltus doubled,
sending in DeKay and Lloyd. Soren-
son showed little mercy for Houlahan
and drove a two-bagger over Bills
head, scoring Keltus. Lent flied out
for the third down and the score was
three in Blackfoot's favor. The game
was won.
The Indians scored their lone run
in the third. Derham walked. Bist-
line bunted and Derham kept on run
ming to third on the throw to first.
DeKay made good peg to catch
him but nobody was on the bag to
get the throw. So, Derham rambled
home with PocateIlo's first and only.
Settle to Deadlock 4....
From the third inning to the last
down neither side had much chance
to score. HOulahan pitched air tight
ball after the first and the Indians
never had more than one man on at
any time.
The Indians, after splitting even
with the Stahl and Dean club, Of Salt
Lake, have intended to lay claim to
the Utah-Idaho semi pro champion
ship. The result of this game is that
ho un m fret rnnknn with
Blackfoot before they decorate their
heads with any more feathers. Be-
sides they lost their scalp at Black
foot and everybody knows what that

Another game will be played be-
tween the two fast Idaho clubs in
the near future. Stahl and Dean, of
Salt Lake, will also play here If ar
rangements can be made. Fans, look

of the proposition As to the offer Of the Southern

that it taken to be merely desperate expedient Of
the Southern Pacific to shut out the z. P. & s. ".
If possible to accomplish it It will be remembered
that the Southern Pacific threw every possible obstacle
IN the way of the E P. & s. W. IN connection with
rightofway across the Rio GTande and west of the
city, and in connection with crossing at Deming.

However not the least of the annoyance is caused
by the smoke, cinders, sOot and fumes from locomo

trains heavy, and the escaping steam Sometimes
standing locomotives in the city blow off and the
and jar create tremendous disturbance. Trains

boys and young children, court death by climbing be-
tween and over cars OF even under them, when the
moment The Herald is discussing conditions west of
Campbell street There are many other crossings In
other parts of the city where conditions bad
worse. These problems will have to be taken
up in due time
It is hardly necessary to date on the injustice Of
continuing the present arrangement; it IS costly,
annoying, dangerous and uneconomic all around in
broad The question is how best to change 1t.
Most people jump at once to the conclusion that all
that is necessary is "force the railroads to sink
their tracks"
The Herald believes that this would be no solution
at ALL in fact, than solution because it would
be a permanent arrangement, making 1t impossible
thereafter to reach a really satisfactory solution
To sink the tracks would be costly. It would
destroy Main street and other streets needed for the
expansion of the city The problem of drainage would
be serious. It would be unsightly arrangement
some north and south streets, important thorough
fares, for street traffic But sinking the tracks would
not do away with the destroying noise with
the terrific jar Of the earth by the many heavy passing
trains, with the smoke, cinders, soot fumes, and
sparks from locomotves-sll these would remain for
to curse the heart of the city and render life more
burdensome than il should be well regulated city.
The only way by which Sinking the tracks" could
