OVERLAND TO STERLING
Local Sheep Men Forced to Walk to
Camp to Prepare for Lambing

In this day of modern conveniences
and conveyances, conditions do not
always necessitate people walking 60
to 70 miles to transact business, but
such an incident took place in Arco
this week.
The Toland Sheep company are
wintering their sheep at Sterling this
year and intend to start Landing next
Monday. Both Rollin and Bert To-
land have been snow bound in Arco
for some time and it was becoming
absolutely necessary that they get to
the sheep camp. They put off going
as long as they could, expecting the
arrival of train daily, but all hopes
for trains were vanished the first of
the week and they started out across
the 40-mile desert on foot, leaving
Monday afternoon. The snow is SO
deep that to drive across with team
is an impossibility.
They were accompanied on their
trip by Frank Silene, who, after
reaching Blackfoot, left for Salt Lake
City to take course in embalming
and undertaking, having abandoned
his planned trip to California, where
he was going for the same purpose.

HOG DAY IN ARCO

Five hundred head of hogs were
disposed of in Arco this week by
the farmers of Big and Little Lost
river valleys. They were purchased
by a Mr.. Berg and they are still in
Arco waiting for train service to be
resumed.
One of. the we'll known farmers of
the Little Lost section pulled down"
check for over $500 for his share
of the hog money and still some peo-
pie say there is no money in raising
hogs.
This is the greatest section for
hogs in the state of Idaho. Scarcely
week passes but what from one to
five car loads of the porkers are ship
ped out to western markets.
F. e. Harger, of Moore, shipped
out car load to the Portland market
last Thurday by the Inflated freight
that was stalled on the desert for so
many days. The price of hogs is
steadily climbing upwards, and there
are several cars loads in this section
yet which are for sale.-Arco Adver-
tiser.

NO PEACE WHILE NATIONAL
FLAG DIPS IN DISGRACE

st. Paul, Minn.-Peace at any
price advocates were criticised and
national preparedness was termed a
religious as well as a patriotic duty
by Archbishop John Ireland at the
cathedral here Saturday in funeral
Grafton over the body of Colonel
Josiah R. King, said by Minnesota
historians to be the first man to an
swer the call OF President Lincoln
for $4,000 volunteers in 1851 to put
down the rebellion.
my prayer is that our country
may have commercial and SOCIAL
peace; that we may have the pros
perity to make us great in all things
good and may have quick response
to patriotic duty" the archbishop
said:
1--WE hear much of peace at any
sacrifice. Peace, with honor, yes.
Peace, to the glory of our country,
yes. But if it means that we are
to be the prey of. international am
bition; if it means that we are to
do the bidding of every other nation
on earth and that our flag must dip
in disgrace, then we must not have
peace"

WOMEN BRING PROS
PERITY TO THE WEST

That the women have become a
vital force in the progress and devel-
opment of the new west is shown by
their coming together again in the
campaign of united effort to help
build up the manufacturing indust-
ries Of the west.
The Western Consumers week,
started by The New West magazine
and endorsed by the women of Idaho,
Utah, Washington, Oregon, Montana
and Nevada, was launched last year
to cover the intermountain north
west.
While each state has it's home in
dustry day conducted by the manu-
facturers, this week was started by
the consumer-the housewife-and
originated in the household science
department of the women's clubs of
Idaho. Three years ago Idaho
Home Industry week was the out
come of the club women's work. They
called upon their governor, John NJ.
Haines, and to him is given the honor
OF issuing the first Home Industry
week proclamation. Last year Gov
ernor Alexander issued similar
proclamation.
AS yet Idaho has but few manu-
featuring industries. Southern Idaho
must depend on Utah and Oregon and
northern Idaho on Oregon and Wash
ington for their nearest manufacture
ing industries. The women were
loyal to their home state as far as
nOsSihIo ond than Utah 0nounr 49,
Washington came in for their patron,
age. Last year, when The New West
magazine asked the club women of
Utah, Oregon and Washington to join
in the movement, they responded
nobly. A partial list of the clubs that
endorsed and worked for the move
ment is printed in this issue.
The object of Western Consumers
week is to bring the e-inAmerica
closer home, so that the
consumers may become better ac-
quainted with what is being manu-
featured in the intermountain north
west, to further the prosperity of the
west by creating demand for west
ern manufactured goods.
Ii every woman in the west asks |
for articles with the western trade
mark during this week, think what
a demand will be created. The wo-
men of the west are back of this
movement and they are determined
that the year 1916 shall be year
Of prosperity to their home states.
They hope thru their efforts to cause
The factories to increase their output,
10 increase the number of people en-
ployed and to build up the payroll,
hereby bringing happiness and pros
Derity to all.
But the manufacturers must do
heir part. They must have their
goods on display in the stores and
ldvertise them so that the women
nay know what to ask for. The
women will depend largely upon the
'ages of The New West magazine for
Information concerning the western
manufactured goods.-New West ,

HORSE SUPPLIED WITH
A NEW TOOTH

Just because Lester Clapper, of
Nassau, showed particular regard for
an old track horse, "Rickety Ann"
which he had priced very highly for
several years, DR.. Franklin DeBois
Smith, a veterinarian of East Chat
ham, supplied the missing link in the
makeup of the horses by putting a
new tooth in the animals jaw. Mr..
Clapper took the horses to- DR..
Smiths animal hospital several days
ago and stated that for some reason
or other the food which went into
the horses mouth took a back track
and came out its nose. The doctor
found that one of the animals mo-
lars had dropped out leaving a hole
extending to the nostril. The doctor
then set out to discover a remedy
and finally had DR.. w. e. Walker, a
dentist of Chatham, make vulcanite
tooth for the horse. A silver plate
was put in the nostril and a bolt
extended thru the artificial tooth and
the plate and the horse now eats
and drinks the same as in her first
days of track work.

THE RUPEES IN TOWN

Mr.. and Mrs: Ansel Rupe came
in from Sterling, Saturday, on their
way to Pocatello to visit relatives.
They called at The Republican office
as lot Of good people do, and paid
up arrears in subscription and set
1t ahead year. Mr.. Rupe said he
had finished tanning that wheat and
alfalfa seed spoken of in our special
edition and had screened it and OBJ
tanned three seamless sacks more of
the alfalfa than they estimated. That
added about $50 to the gold mine"
in addition to expectations.
Since we sent out the Agricultural
Edition in December, the Rupees have
become a bureau for information
about this country. They receive
letters from many states, but mainly
from Missouri, Colorado and Idaho.
Some of the letters ask for particu-
lars about how to plow up an alfalfa
meadow and leave enough roots
growing to get a seed crop, and when
to SOW the wheat to get wheat crop
with it. Mr.. Rupe tells them that
he sowed his wheat about the last
of May, and as for the blowing, there
is little danger of getting it plowel
so good that alfalfa will not grow
again. Trust it for that. He did not
water his wheat and alfalfa until he
had to to keep it from burning, and
Watered it only twice in the season,
This brings the two crops along to
bloom and seed time together.
Referring again to the letters they
receive, most of the writer's ask a
few questions about the country and
some ask many; but Mr.. and Mrs.
Rupe think that a great many of
them write just to see if there is
Rupe family at Sterling, or whether
our story was faxed thruout. They
answer all letters, and find the keen
est pleasure in those that come from
relatives and old acquaintance who
has lost track of them. AS tribute
to the power Of printers ink. they
say the publication of the story Of
their struggles, the cordial friend
ship of so many local people and the
letters they have received about it,
make them feel a new satisfaction
N their work, a recognition they
know now they had hungered for,
Ind that comes to them with a de-
gree Of stisfaction they had not felt
before. They had thought some of
ceiling out and quitting the farm for
change, but lucky is the man who
inds his avenue of success and sticks
o it. H

PIONEER is DEAD
George Chaplin One Time Candidate
for Governor Passes Away

Idaho Falls.--George Chaplin died
at his home in this city very sudden
ly about 6 O'Clock Saturday evening.
He was apparently as we'll as usual
until a few moments before his
death. He was II years of age. He
was one of the oldest pioneers OF
southern Idaho, having come from
Brooklyn, N Y, in the early seven
ties. He mined on Snake river for
year or two and then freighted
from Corinne to the mining camps
near Boise. He finally located is Cas-
STA county, filing on small stream
of water, controlling the stream, and
doing some farming. Parties who had
settled further down the creek paid
him a good sum for his farm to get
the water. He then came to Idaho
Falls and was publisher of the Idaho
Falls Times for a number Of years.
He served on the city council two
terms and some Is years ago was
the Democratic nominee for governor
of Idaho. When Bonneville county
was organized he was appointed pro-
bate judge of the county.
He is survived by his wife, but no
children. His only SON passed away
several years ago.

Fancy hand-slected and picked Ida.
no potatoes are selling on the Chi
cago market at cents each and are
in strong demand at that price, being
placed on sale in the fancy markets

Cuba. The potatoes are each wrap
ed in an attractive-looking tissue
which bears the label, Strictly fancy

Idaho potatoes are also being fea-
tured on Chicago and other eastern
city menu cards in the higher priced
hotels. With strictly fancy selling at
that price some Idaho man is missing
an opportunity to make some good
money. Even If it will not be pos
sible for the Idaho grower to get so
cents a dozen for his potatoes he
might pack them in fancy boxes for
the high priced trade.-Idaho Regis

Illness Of His Son Calls George Raine
to His Home, First of Week

George Raine, of the Idaho Lum-
Der company, at Moore, received
word last week that his little SON
was very i'll. On promise of train
service ne waited until Friday and
having received no more word from
nome nor no train in sight, heNstart-
ed from Moore, Friday evening, to
make the trip home on snow shoes.
His home is on farm near More

easy to reach telephone or telegraph

for one unaccustomed to that mode
OF travelling. No one here has re-
ce1ved word of his arrival, but of

made the trip in safety and found all
we'll at home.-Arco Advertiser.
