CATTLEMEN WILL
HOLD STATE MEET

The Idaho Cattle and Horse Growers
Association is to hold it's first annual
convention in the Idaho convention
city, Pocatello, on the 31st day of Oc-
tober,, 1916.
The association is composed Of Idaho
men who make business of growing
and ranging cattle and horses on the
public domain and on the forests within
the borders of the state. 1t is the out
growth Of an organization of several
associations formed in Custer county
and throughout Central Idaho for tho
protection of the industry, and in less
than six months has gained eight hun
dred active members, representing 1885,
600 head of cattle and horses, with an
estimated valuation of ten million dol
lars worth of live stock, that all de-
pend more or less for range on the for
ests and public domain, as much of the
stock is grazed thereon one-half of the
time, at least, and the remainder of the
time is fed III pastures of the Idaho
ranchmen.

BIG HAYSTACK
PARTLY BURNS

Last Saturday afternoon a 300tOn
stack of hay OIL the old Pratt ranch,
about four miles from Blackfoot, and
belonging to the Idaho Land & Live
Stock Co., was found to be on fire.
Between fifty and seventy-five of the
neighboring farmers were soon on tho
scene and did everything possible to
conquer the flames and save the hay.
Finally the burning east end Of tho
stack was cut off and the balance Of
the big stack was saved. About seven
ty-five tons of hay were destroyed.
The fire is supposed to have been caus-
ed by internal combustion. The Black
foot fire department responded to the
call for assistance and did all it could
to subdue the fire.

fend our reputation and business which
he has uniustly and untruthfully as
sailed, even to his own great disad-
vantage. Trego, like some of his pres
cnt friends who were once his most
bitter enemies, but are now using him
for their political purposes, will do well
to cease their scandalizing and injuri-
Gus personal attacks, for some of them,
in more ways than one, have records
that they should be ashamed of-rec-
ords that should ever keep them from
attempting to tarnish the reputation
of any one-particulary of any one
less guilty than they. As it is often true
that it takes thief to catch a thief,
it is also true that it takes reprobate
to be a character assassin or blackmail-
er.
Round up the men who are continu-
ally and surreptitiously bulldozing and
backcapping their fellow citizens for
political or private gain and if you in
vestigate their political and private
records you will come to the conclu-
sion that they are far more disrepu
table than those they seek to injure or
defame. All men are sinful enough
without making them more sinful and
the struggles of all men and women are
unavoidably severe enough without try
ing to make their struggles unbearable
by constantly publishing their petty
indiscretions that no man is entirely
free from, and it is far better to sup
press than publish them, especially if
we have some Of our own.
We are glad to know that The Ida
no Republican is soon to desert its
present disreputable environments, and
hope that when it is comfortably es-
tablished in its new and undefiled
business home that it will be happy and
virtuous enough to remember the past
and overlook the faults Of those who
have been willing to forget it for the
benefit of the community
just for the purpose Of electing po.
litical friend whose record is not above
criticism. We do not believe the voters
of Bingham county who have known
"Ras' Christensen for thirty years
will approve Of this brand of political
boosting.
No normal newspaper editor will at
tempt to besmirch the reputation of an
honest man and disgrace his posterity

GUILTY, OR
NOT GUILTY?

We are more than pleased to know
that Mr.. Trego in the last week s is
sue of his personal organ accepted our
challenge to inform the public where,
when and how we ever defended graft
ers. His first alleged CRATER that he
says we defended is A. E. Christensen
Of Shelley, who for many years was
surveyor of Bingham county when it
paid the paltry annual pittance~of $500,
much to the injury of himself and large
family. When Mr.. Christensen was de-
feated for county surveyor two years
ago he was accused by Mr.. Trego of
unlawfully confiscating surveyor g
stadia rod, worth new $3.50, and
"some other' goods, which gave his al
legged theft a valuation Of $3.50.
Owing to the fact that we have per
sonally known MIR. Christensen for
about six years, as an honest man, and
have the pleasure Of the acquaintance
of many reputable citizens Of Bingham
county who have known him for twen-
ty-five years, who will gladly testify
to his unimpeached integrity, we did
not believe he was guilty of the charge
so publicly made against him by The
Idaho Republican. But before at
tempting to acquit or convict Mr.. Chris
tensen Of the charge preferred against
him we interviewed James Young, his
successor in the county surveyors Of
flee. Mr.. Young informed us that Mr..
Christensen upon his retirement from
office told him that he had the alleged
stolen stadia rod at his home in Shelley,
and desired to use it for a short time.
AS Mr. Young had rod of his own he
told Mr. (hri or on fhof ho xva1,
come to the use of the rod to complete
the work he was doing Mr.. Young
also informed us that the ''other
things that his official predecessor
had in his home in Shelley were some
old and almost used-up record books
that he did not intend to use. Under
these circumstances if Mr.. Christensen
is CRATER and thief Of the county s
property we are not ashamed Of hav.
ing defended him. Two years ago when
was solicited by the editor Of The Re
hold-ups which he terms $1,000
write-ups.' But this ancient anc
almost obsolete political graft of un
spurned by Mr.. Christensen, who in
he had lived in Bingham county fol
thirty years and needed no introduction
much less recommendation from him
Had Tregos $1,000 graft been success
full the Idaho Republican would have
told it's readers that Mr.. Christen
sen was one of the most honored farm
ers in Bingham county, competen
and trustworthy county surveyor wh'
never shirked his duty to better him
self at the expense of his constituents
or took advantage of the many oppor
tunities he had of charging the coun
ty exhorbitant prices. Mr.. Christensen
is not the only man in Bingham count,
and Blackfoot who has been misrepre
sented and maligned for refusing to-b
a victim of this particular hold-up ar
tist IS policy for revenue only-tha
has been far more profitable than hon
Orable.
In order to receive sympathy h

We reluctantly admit that we have o.

cretion, but absolutely only to dc

Wealth and RESPONSIBILITY.

Just before the late Albert A.
Sprague died he had the pleasure Of
seeing a pension system for old en-
ployees-long a cherished project
put into effect. Three employees who
had served the concern long and faith
fully we're made the first beneficiaries.
January 1, 1914, a large sum, subse-
quently increased, was set aside as
the nucleus of the pension fund. 1t
was determined that the beneficiaries
should not be required to contribute.
The only requirement is that the bene-
ficiaries should have a service record
of at least twenty years and be sixty
years Of age. The plan not only af-
fords encouragement to the sober and
deserving employee, but also illus
trates in striking way that sense of
responsibility for wealth and the well
fare Of those who help create 1t, which
is the best characteristic of the best
type Of American business man It is
noble monument to the public spirit
of one who was, in so many other
ways, one of Chicagos most public
spirited citizens.-Chicago Herald.
Bonners Ferry herald., 1916-07-28
The Local Paper.

The local newspaper is an institution
that is well deserving the consistent,
liberal support of the merchants and
the public in any community. The To-
cal newspaper is the reflector in which
is mirrored the spirit of the town in
which it is published. Pick up live
aggressive weekly newspaper and you
may safely conclude that it emanates
from place that has enterprise, pro-
gressive tendencies and future pros
poets Open a newspaper that shows
evidence of the practice of grinding
economy, in the limited space devoted
to the recounting of local events, in the
meager patronage revealed in its col
umns and your natural guess that there
is lack of pride, loyalty and ambition
among the inhabitants whence it came
will not be far wrong. If newspaper
carries a comprehensive representation
of local advertising, of ads that show
frequent change and timely announce
ments it is safe wager that the people
are not going to the city or putting
their money in the mails in order to
purchase their requirements from
abroad. If mail order house is look
ing out for a point where it can dis
tribute its catalogues with the assur-
ance that they will command attention
and get business it will give first pref
erence to the locality in which the
dealers are neglecting the opportunity
for calling attention to their merchan-
disc and service through the avenues
of publicity.
There should be a close contact and
cooperation between the merchant and
the publisher for the promotion of their
mutual interests, for thereby the larg-
est measure of public good may be
accomplished. The larger the infiu-
ence which a newspaper exerts the
more potential it becomes in commun-
ity upbuilding and the more profitable
are the returns for investment in its
advertising space. One of the most
powerful Influences employed in bust.
ness upbuilding today is the utilization
of the precept: You boost me, and I'll
boost you," and the merchants and the
country newspaper working together
systematically and enthusiastically
along that line can do more to promote
the growth of the smaller towns and
help them to retain the trade that log
ically belongs to them than all the de-
nunciation or appeals for sympathy
that can be launched.

Battle StubbornIy Fought.

London.-The battle on the Somme
front which began Saturday at mid
night and has continued since with
brief lulls is still being engaged in
by British and Germans with the ut
most stubbornness. An indication of
the importance the Germans attach
to defending their third line is found
in the report of General Haig, the
British commander, and in the Ger
man admission that troops have been
brought from before Verdun in order
to lend all possible strength to Gen
eral Won Einen.
The British, if they are making but
slow progress, have been able to re-
pulse all the fierce German counter
attacks and fully maintain their
ground, although the fighting largely
consists of hand-to-hand conflicts
There is no news as to whether the
Australians, who hold the greater por
tion of the village of Pozieres have
yet secured the eastern part, which
is on a plateau. But General Haig
