CHEAPER ADVERTISING RATES

Advertisers in Bingham county
will be interested to know that they
can now get their announcements be-
fore the people of this county more
thoroly than ever before and at
lower cost than they could before
the paper famine and the pronounced
rise in the price of other articles
used in printing. The new rate card
just being issued for advertising SER
vice in The Idaho Republican shows
that our best competitor in the
county charges 33 per cent more per
inch per 100 actual subscribers in
the county than we do, and our list
of pay subscribers in the county Is
double that of the closest competitor.
Our new rate card calls for 22
cents an inch per issue for the
month Of October and is based upon
the lowest rate usually given hereto
fore by weekly papers in the county
computing their circulation on basis
Of 1000 toal issue per week, and
that has usually been their maximum
circulation.
The Republican has had phenom-
inal gain in local circulation since
the fifteenth of last December, and
especially the past four months. Per-
sons interested in advertising are in
vited to call at the office and ask
the bookkeeper to display the sub
scription list for the mailing machine
or both. She will be prepared to
give the enquirer the total of sub
scribers in any section of the cuonty
and then the visitor can go to the
mailing machine and count them for
himself to check against her figures.
Advertising patrons may take the
totals so obtained, and unless there
are objections on the part of sub
scribers, we shall publish each week
in October the names and numbers
of new subscribers that week and
the names and numbers of those
dropped when there are any. We
want the advertisers to know just
what service they get when they buy
space in our paper, and we shall en-
able them to know for themselves
that they receive additional values
in service each succeeding week. The
more subscribers we receive, the /
cheaper the advertising rate will be
per hundred of circulation.

TOWN TEAM WINS
OVER HIGH SCHOOL
Close Game With no Score for Three
Quarters; Biethan's Men
Too Heavy

The foot ball season was opened
up nicely by the High School versus
Old Timers, Friday afternoon, and
the fans were delighted. A large at
tendance at the game showed interest
in foot ball, and received their
moneys worth of sport. Captain
Biethan's men plowed deep and the
school boys had their hands full to
prevent scoring until the third quar-
ter. Then Lowrey struck into their
line for ceveral gains and Nichols car
ried the ball across the goal. A well
directed kick made the score 7 to 0.
The school boys had better team
work, but the weight of the town
team had a great deal to do with the
victory.
The most noteworthy players in
the high school team were probably
Thomas, back, and Jack Really, full
back. They worked the forward pass
effectively. Mulville and the two
Stephens boys played their usual good
game. The town team is negotiating
with Pocatello Tech for game next
Friday.

Brooklyn and Boston, as indicated

Bannock Indian Girl Names New Hotel "Paw-nee'

Blackfoot's new hotel is to be
called "Paw-nee." This name was Sc
lected by the Eccles Investment COM
pany after examining a list Of 100
suggested by the public. The names
were listed and numbered as they
were received, and some names were
suggested by several different per-
sons.
The name Paw-nee was suggested
by Miss Sarah Pokibro, (Po kee bro,
accent keel a full blood Bannock
girl who received her education at
Ft. Hall, Idaho, and at Riverside,
California. The significance Of the
name is "Take me there" and it will
be good slogan for travellers thru
all the years during which the hotel
in operating.
A few weeks ago The Idaho Repub-
lican offered $40 to the person who
would suggest name acceptable to
the builders of the hotel, and when
the above name was accepted on the
fifteenth of September check was
drawn and sent to the lady, who
makes her home at the residence of
Mayor Peck. The mayor mentioned
that she had noticed the offer in the
paper and remarked that she believed
she could suggest a suitable name.
Later she stated that she had sent
in one and hoped it would draw the
prize. Mn. Peck made the charact-
eristic remark that it would be nice
to get the $40, and she replied, "Oh
yes, but that isn't the most interest
ing thing about. it to me. think it
would be nice to remember that I
had named so fine hotel"
Mr.. Peck informs us that Miss
Pokibro is very bright girl and can
do almost anything that she has had
q chance to learn. She is a good
cook and housekeeper, and does

the first crop from it a year ago.
Mother beets were selected and seed
planted last spring, with the excellent
results shown by the recent thresh-
ing. After period of several years

seed again.

UP CONTRACT
FOR PAVING
Cecil Clarke Appointed to Fill Mr.
MOwrey's Place on Council

The city council met IN ADJOURNED
meeting Tuesday evening and cleared
up several hanging matters OF rou-
tine business. Councilman Heese,
having moved from ward number one
to ward number four, resigned form
ally, and was formally instated as
member for the ward he now resides
in. Cecil c.. Clarke received the
mayors appointment to the council
to represent ward number one. Both
took the oath of office and the ranks
of the council are filed out to the
proper number again.
The Little Damage Claim
The mayor had received a letter
from some Pocatello attorneys re-
garding the damage claim of man
who ran his car into an open man
hole during the pavement construc-
tion. His former bill had been ignor-
ed by the MCGUIRE company because
It came so directly from the garage
that it still more than smelled of
gasoline, and even appeared to be
inflated far beyond normal size by
q liberal charge for "gas." Accord
ing to the contractors the man said
at the time of the fall that he could
probably have the car repaired for
SO The new bill from his lawyers
(minus the gas item) would stretch
$40. It puts one in mind of the
well known little ditty beginning:

claim

Contractors Bond
Mr.. Mcclure thanked the mayor
and city council for excellent treat
ment while he and his men were
constructing the city pavement.
Councilman DeKay opposed releas-
ing the paving company from their
construction bond and replacing 1t
with maintenance bond.
On motion of Stephens and Heese
the balance due Contractor J. G. Nc
CURE was authorized to be paid
$4,000 was withheld and will be paid
in 80 days. This means the pave
ment is settled for with the excep-
tion of the $4,000.
Mr.. Clarke will serve on the street
and alley and law and order commit
tees.
Safety Posts
The improvement committee was
asked to investigate the safety first
post matter, and suggest as to type
and number needed. Such posts are
to prevent the traffic from cutting
corners and endangering lives, being
placed in the center Of an intersec-
tion.
Cemetery Troubles
The cemetery committee, at Mr..
Bollings instance, received the coun-
ellis permission to investigate how
much it will cost to board up the
kitchen of the house for the care
taker, which would amount to about
$40, perhaps.
