THOMAS HEARD FROM

II. p. Fackrell of Thomas, was in
Black foot last Monday, and when asked
what the people of his prosperous COM
munity was doing, replied that they
were busy and optimistic agriculturally
and otherwise, but politically they were
doing absolutely nothing but peacefully
waiting to ba instructed as to their
sole privilege of welding the ballot
for the benefit of some OF the chronic
office seekers of Blackfoot.
The voters Of Thomas and tributary
towns are not at all pleased at the way
thev have been overlooked in the dis
tribution of the G. @. P.'s official
spoils, and the result may be some dlS-
figured ballots.

THE NEW SUGAR FACTORY

n. II. Parkinson has just returned
from weeks campaign on the Aber-
deem branch where he has been working
in the interests of the new Eccles sugar
factory. He reports n very successful
week $ work and that the farmers all
along the line have been very liberal
in the signing of beet acreage. Ev
erywhere the people are enthusiastic
with the prospect of competition in the
sugar beet industry in this country
because all know that competition is
the life Of trade.
Even the inveterate growers of
Grimm S alfalfa seed are surrendering
good alfalfa ground for the growing of
beets for the new factory, and are out
in their cars working faithfully for the
enterprise. They are spurred on by the
fact that there is sufficient suitable
land for beet raising now under irri-
cation along the Aberdeen branch rail
road to support several factories. Much
of this land is now in alfalfa.
We feel to commend the efforts of
the Parkinson Company in the getting
of such interests as the Eccles boys in
our county with their wealth and in
fluence. What this country most needs
is money and people. If we have the
money, we will have no trouble to get
the people. The Eccles boys build
sugar factories, railroads, condenser
les flour mills, packing plants, lumber
yards and banks and hotels. Let u:
hope that the efforts of our enterprisins
realty firm will meet with the supper
of everyone interested in seeing ou
country grow.

called up by the mayor and promised
to have a new sidewalk built without
requiring the council to advertise and
have it done.
Contractor Mcclure sugmitted his
report of the completion of the paving
in Improvement District No. IS, and
demanded final settlement. The con
tract price of the work was $780,
541.75, of which there was balance
cussion the balance due the contractor,
less $4,000 to be held for 30 days to
test the work, was ordered paid.
The bill of City Engineer Young for
$764.74, the balance due him for sur
veying services for the paving con-
tractor, was ordered paid. This amount
is 21a per cent Of the contract price of
the paving, the total amount of which
was $3,5lS.96.
Complaint was made of the bad
sidewalk on the south end of Main
street, but no action was taken.
It was decreed that the plumbers
working on the Eccles hotel be required
to take out the usual license.
The request of several street sprink
lers to be relieved of their contracts

HOME MINSTRELS
MAKE A HIT

Miss Dubois and her colored troup
Of Merry Go Ro and Summer Minstrel
Girls created some sensation with their
iollv songs and wonderful dances at
the High School assembly room last
evening. A crowded house of friends
interested in the young ladies and the
library cause greeted them. They came
to help the cause, but their comments
on leaving were "that they had for
gotten all care and enjoyed two full
hours of laughter Miss Rogers, the
little colored ingenue, brought encore
after encore with her dancing, and the
song entitled "They Keep the Beer in
the Basement, brought from her the
answer, cit Sho' Must Be One Fine
Cellar and a roar from the house.
Miss Elizabeth and Margaret Dubois
gave cabaret song and dance entitled,
"Oh, Those Blues. Their dancing
was dainty, vet vivacious, and received
many encores. Miss Marion Chubbuck
| simply brought down the house as the
clever Miss Votes for Women
As infantile paralysis is the talk of
the day. Miss Lorraine Tavey represent
ed "Miss Swat the Fly and recited
most feelingly "a Warning" :" The
| two end men, Miss Fluffy (Bianche
Dunn) and Miss Board Walk miss
Rogers) regaled the audience with one
clever joke after another
| The merchants who were keen enough
to secure advertisements were wise. 1t
was one of the shows best features.
With Miss Barrow at the piano, and
Mr. Robbins on the violin, the audience
was carried back to old times with
their beautiful southern melodies, and
it seemed most fitting that an old
plantation cake walk should end the
evening. This was given by Port Ar
thur, Merrill BOYLE, Elizabeth Dunn,
Ora Rogers, Marion Chubbuck, Miss
Barrow, Lorraine Lavey. Mr.. J. II.
Early, Mrs. John Brown and Mrs. l.. r.
Aldrich acted as Judges, and the cake
was awarded to Misses Rogers and Du-
bois.
Merrill Boyle and Port Arthur We're
clever in all their stunts, particularly
in the moving advertisements, and as
an auctioneer.
The ladies under whose chaperonagc
the show was given may well feel proud
as the net proceeds were $75.oo
Miss Elizabeth Dubois deserves much
credit for training the girls.

Lumber Trade Expansion
Is Practically Unlimited

San Francisco, Nov. 22-" The trade
extension possibilities are limited only
by the extent> to which the lumber
men furnish funds for the promotion
of their own business.
This was the advice of r. Il. Weycr-
haeuser of ST. Paul who accompanied
the eastern lumbermen on their trip
west to preach the gospel of national
advertising of lumber.
At the very minimum the lumber
manufacturers of the United States
should furnish 100000 per year for
national trade extension. Unless they
do SO, it cannot be considered that
they believe seriously in the necessity
for adopting modern means for the
protection and extension of their mar
kets.
Notwithstanding the almost Grim
inal lack of support of the trade ex-
tension department, it has been able,
during the past year, to get organized
upon a sound basis, and 10 begin per-
manent work Of great benefit to the
lumber industry. One of its first eff
forts has been TO create reliable ser
les of reference literature up on the
use of lumber by the architect, the en-
gineer, the contractor and the build
er. The engineering bulletins upon
structural timber and mill construc-
ton buildings have been gladly re-
ceived and used by architects and en-
gineers everywhere, who have long
wanted and been unable to get this
kind of information upon how to use
timber. The bulletins upon Farm
Structures are getting an enthusias-
tic reception from lumber dealers,
farm papers and agricultural colleges.
They fill as distinct gap in their
field as do the other publications. in
the engineering field The bulletin on
teachers cottages has been wonderful
ly popular and the building of new
teachers cottages can be directly
traced to the influence Of this publica-
ti0n.
"There are over 100 cities in the
United States of more than $4,000 pop
ulation, in scarcely one of which is
the building code worked out upon the
basis of a right and intelligent use
of wood. These cities have been big
market for our products, in the past.
They will afford very small market
in the future unless we put the use of
our material upon the same scientific
basis as that of other materials, and
actively participate in the framing of
building codes to see that our products
are given the consideration their mer-
it warrants. Already the National
! Lumber Manufacturers association has
been of material assistance to several
cities~in the revival Of their building

ment consists of cooperation with the
retail lumber dealers. The retail yard
dealer is the man who distributes the
bulk of our product to the individual
consumer. In many ways heN knows
more about the consumers needs and
preiudices than we do. II is highly i'm
portant that we work with the retail
er in every possible way in furnishing
him with information and service that
will help him sell our material to the
farmer, the contractor, the engineer
and TO everyone who has need for a
shingle or board.
''In many ways the retailer has
gone ahead of the lumber manufacture
err in the adoption of modern methods
of merchandising. We will lose great
ly unless we cooperate with him and
make it easy for him to sell our pro-
duets.
