was decayed, and the cavities in it
filled the description that had been
given by the mother and convinced
err that the body was that of her
daughter.
Name Was Not Known
1t has now been more than year
since the case first came to the atten-
on of the authorities and from the
first it presented unusual features.
The young woman came to the city
in company with a man who did not
know her name, was later found
dead in an opium den and for several
days laid unidentified. A thorough
investigation was followed by identi-
fication and she was buried by local
order. Several months later a letter
was received by the chief of police

ing his orchard clean and free from
disease" said Horticultural Inspec-
tor Guy Graham, Friday. But for
the sake of bringing the matter to
the notice of those who do not know
l want to say that the law is dras-
tic. The board has decided that it
must be observed. In cities and
towns, where the orchard may be
small, there is danger of the disease,
whatever it may be, spreading to
valuable shade trees. 1t is unneces-
sary to state that the majority of
commercial fruit growers are famil-
lar with the law, and they know
that by observing it they come out
the best in the long run
Notice Given First
1t is understood, however, that no
action, such as destroying an infect
ed orchard, will be taken without
first giving the owner due notice.
The law specifically states, according
to Inspector Graham, that such &C
ton may be taken by the inspector
or his deputies without giving notice
where the diseased trees are the re-
suit of gross carelessness and it is
that the owner is familiar
with the law.

DON'T WALK ON THE TRACKS

AS stated in this paper last week,
Miss Marion Chubbuck was struck
by an engine and narrowly escaped
death. On looking the matter up
we find the circumstances of the &C
cident were as follows:
She was taking the short cut be-
tween the depot and North Main
street, passing between the track and
the railroad park. The walking by
the park fence was not very good
so she took the better path between
the rails. While following this she
remembered the warnings not to
walk between the rails and as a pre-
caution she looked over her shoulder
to make sure that there was no train
coming. An engine doomed up right
behind her and she spraing sidewise
across the rail but was struck about
the time her feet touched the ground
again. She was knocked down and
the engine went by, scratching her
as it did so. She was only slightly
injured but very much shocked and
scared.
Mr.. Chubbuck stated that he had
frequently given his children warn
ings about their right place in rela-
ton to the tracks and cars, and was
very much surprised at her disre-
garding it. He received letter since
then from the Safety First commit
tee censuring him for not having in
structed his family about such mat
tiers. -.
This paper has frequently called
attention to the fact that persons
walking on the tracks are tresspass-
ers and that according to all rules
and experience they are taking grave
risks of injury and horrible death.
Experience shows that nobody, how
ever, intelligent, or alert, is safe
from being run down, as they be-
come accustomed to the signals and
noises and while concentrating their
thoughts on something else are over
taken. In this instance the engineer |
was looking back at car that he
was handling and was not near a
crossing.

HORSES POISONED

The last of the week some poison
that was put out for rabbits killed
some horses in McDonallville. Three
animals belonging to L. L. Corey and
three of William Gray's were found
dead and another one was badly at
fected.
n An analysis of the contents Of the
animals stomachs revealed strych-
nine and indications are that poison
ed grain was put out in piles suffici-
ent to feed horse and not in &C
cordance with instructions furnished
for killing rabbits.

MORE TRAVEL FOR THIS VALLEY

A meeting has been appointed fol
March % at Pocatello, Idaho, for
the representatives of commercial
bodies, auto clubs and good road
builders to lay plans for making tn
road from Salt Lake to Yellowstone
park one of the best in the west
the purpose being to encourage the
auto travel Of tourists over this route
in addition to local value for the use
of local people.
Blackfoot and it's auto club will
probably plan to be well represented
at that meeting and certainly the
community and the valley may safely
expect to reap rich returns from the
Improvement of the road named.

STUDYING
THE POWER
QUESTION

T. N. Parkinson and H. M. Heimer-
dinger have a copy of the report of
the expert, who audited the books
for the city of Idaho Falls, SO far
as it affects the power plant and are
studying it with much interest and
with increased enthusiasm for mu-
|nicipal plant.
They report that thep liant is max
ing profit of over $4,000 month
and that allowance is also made for
the cost of operation, sinking funds
for building and interest on bonds,
and for depreciation of the plant.
Rumors that these matters have been
manipulated differently are said to
be contradicted and set at rest by
the experts report

THE GLAD NEW YEAR

William Allen White, in discuss
ing the celebrating of the New Year
1915, has the following to say,
through the Emporia Gazette, about
the years successful termination in
the little city of Emporia:
Not drunk was on the streets of
Emporia last night. No one slept
in the city JAIL Ten thousand peo-
pie in Emporia, and $4,000 in Lyon
county, managed to be happy about
the new year without filling their
skins with liquor. They had reason
to be glad, without going outside
themselves for stimulants to their
gladness. Why should we get drunk
New Years eve and raise hell that
doesn't exist in our normal lives?
We never much blame people who
get drunk; many have to do it be-
cause their own troubles make life
a torment, from which even the tenn
porary relief of few hours jag, is
worth seeking. But we have no use
for community that is organized
SO badly, that hundreds Of people
are SO unhappy that they can't face
the new year without getting corned
like side of beef!
Emporia had not a drunk on the
street last night; not a man slept
in the city jail. Then thousand peo-
pie in the town and $4,000 In the
county seem to be looking forward
to the new year in rather pleasur-
able and felicitous mood.
So here's happy ney year to
everyone!-Exchange.

Case Now Closed
A few days ago Mrs. Flemming ar

WINGED by the evidence, pictures, and
effects given her by the police and
as last resort examined the decay
ed tooth which proved beyond the
possibility of a doubt that the girl
was her own. The event was the
