DR.. Fewkes reported a scattering of

a mound which he firmly believed a

Investigate this particular spot was

The surrounding country is rich in

pleasure in announcing the Schumann

FARMERS AND HOUSEKEEPERS'
WEEK AT IDAHO TECH.
A GREAT SUCCESS

The first Farmers an Housekeepers
week ~ Lhes1daho Technical Institute
last week was a great success in ev-
cry way. Under the auspices OF this
state school the Extension Depart
ment of the University of Idaho and
the U. s. Department of Agriculture
a large number of experts of the coun-
try were gathered together to give
the farmers and their wives the bene-
fit of great practical experience and
the result OF years Of investigation in
all lines. The program was excep-
tionally strong and many speakers
were present who were not on tho
original schedule.
The registration shows that several
hundred people took advantage OF the
demonstrations and lectures and from
all there seems to come the feeling
of satisfaction that great good was

The spirit OF cooperation Of the

by all and plans are already under
way for a better and more extensive

AGED WOMAN SUFFERS
STROKE OF APOPI,EXY
Mrs. Evellne Currier of ROckland
Aged 72, Suffers ApOpletic Stroke
Reported to be Improving.

Last Friday Mrs. Eveline Currier,
agen 72, suffered stroke of apoplexy
at the home of her son, H. B. Currier,
near Rockland. The attack, consider
ing her age is serious, but her many
friends will be glad to learn that she
is improving. 1t is thought that worry
brought on by the loss of pocket
book containing about $40, was the
cause. The loss was sustained during
a trip to American Falls on the 2Sth
or>e9th of Jonuary. Whether lost on
the streets of American Falls or on
the road home is not known. Mrs
CurTier had the pocketbook In the
Riverside Mercantile Company store
a short time before leaving for home
and did not discover that it was miss
ing until she arrived home. 1t was
showing quite hard at the time and
unless picked up within few min
utes it would have been buried in the
snow Anyone finding the same will
confer a great favor upon Mrs. Cur
rier by reporting to her son, H. B
Curier at Landing, or with the Press
office.

BOARD OF TRADE SOCIAL
BRINGS LARGE ATTENDANCE
Slush and Water Not Enough to Keep
People Away-Good Program Of
Music and Short Talks.

The social meeting OF the Board OF
Trade at the Remington Monday ev-
ening brought out sixty-six people,
Notwithstanding the very unfavorable
condition OF the streets. Slush and
water made walking very bad and on
this account poor attendance a
was expected. The meetings Of the
past few months had been so pleasant
however, as to overcome the unpleas-
antness OF getting around, and sixty
six sat down to a well prepared and
well served chicken dinner. The at
tendancelat the January meeting was
seventy-two. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
kluck drove in from their home on
the Sunbeam divide to attend and
were the only ou. Of town people
present.
The program was as follows:
Piano duet, Mrs. Voight and Mrs
Richards.
Address, Local Conditions" d. w
Davis.
Vocal Solo, Prof. Warwas.
How Get Office and Keep It." by
Mayor H. c. Wones.
Vocal Solo, Mr.. Weller of Portland
"a Visit to the Idaho Tech" Madge
e. Whistler.
Violin Solo, Piano accompaniment
Mr.. and Mrs. Voight
Vocal Duet, the Misses Ruth and
Grace Cronkhite.
The musical numbers were espec-
tally good and all received encores.
The talks were impromptu efforts, Mr.
Wones and Miss Whistler having had
no intimation that they would be call
ed upon but rhey acquitted themselves
with much credit The talk of Mr..
Davis was along serious lines and
contained some good thoughts.
The capacity OF the Remington is
being taxed at each of these meetings
and during the summer they may
have to be held OH the lawn.

CHURCH BUILDING CAMPAIGN
BRINGS NEARLY $4,000,
Subscriptions Not All in Yet and
$4,000 Mark WIN Probably be
Reached-Building to be Soon Com
menced.

The financial campaign of the NJ
E. church closed successfully Sun
day evening, with nearly $1,000 pledg-
ed. Since that time other pledges
have been received bringing the total
up to $9.260.
Rev. ]. Wesley Miller, who bore the
brunt Of the campaign, is very much
gratified. Soon after coming here he
began negotiation to lease for a
tearm or acquire by purchase the
Presbyterian chucrh property, realiz-
ing that the Methodist church was in
a position to be without a building at
any time. At one time negotiations
were under way to exchange the
Methodist church at HALEY for the
Presbyterian church here. The
Methodists have the building at Haley
while the Presbyterians have the
congregation. Here the Methodists
have the congregation and the Pres
byterians the building. Everything
looked favorable for an exchange for
time, but about the time of the be-
ginning of the Taylor meetings Rev.
Miller was notified that the Presbyter-
ians would want possession of their
building about the first Of April, as 1!
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1916-02-10

had been decided to combine the work
here and at Aberdeen under one man
about that date. This left no other
course than to erect building.
When these facts we're laid before
the trustees by Mr.. Miller about the
first of the year, and all the corres-
pondence shown them, they voted to
build church costing not less than
five thousand nor more than eight
thousand dollars, furnished. To pro-
vide a liberal margin for shrinkage.
the amount to be pledged was fixed at
$4,000 and this will probably be
reached within the next few days
Arrangements we're made to securs
the services of DR.. Y. c. Tiff to raise
the money and his coming was widely
advertised. Owing TO snow blocades
he did not arricve until late Sunday
afternoon and left Sunday night after
the services. Following his sermon
about $4,000 was added to the sub
scriptions previously secured.
Rev. J. ID. Gillian of Boise, the first
M. e. pastor here, and District Super
intendent, H. w. Parker of Twin Falls
assisted Rev. Miller and gave very
valuable aid.
The membership responded liberal
ly as did other citizens and their lib
erality makes 1t possible to erect a
building which will be credit to the
town and a great convenience to the
public. Construction work will be be-
gun just as soon as weather condi-
tions will permit and it is proposed
to dedicate the church July 2.
The sermon by Dr. Tiff ON I'm
mortality" Sunday evening will be
long remembered No one expected 10
find DR.. Tiff SO vigorous and force
full at 20 as he was at As. especially
when he had just emerged from a
snow blockade Of three or four days
and was necessarily much fatigued.
Notwithstanding this he held the clos
est attention Of his congregation for
an hour and ten minutes and left
with them something TO be remem-
bered with pleasure. He is well pre-
served for one Of his age, and buster
at seventy than most men at forty.
He will return during the summer at
which time he will deliver an address
ON Forty Years on the Western
Frontier" that is full of historical in
terest.

BEN MESSENGER ASPHYxIATED
IN OGDEN ROOMING HOUSE
Gas Leak From Stove in Room the
Cause-Was There Buying Horses.

Ben Messenger, a former Arbon res
ident, but who has been at the Farm
ers' Barn for several months with his
uncle, J. d. Smith, was asphyxiated In
a rooming house at Ogden Friday
night last He had bought bunch of
horses and started them overland to
Malad in charge of a couple of boys,
and expected to overtake them Satur-
day and go into Malad with them. Mr..
Messenger went to his room about
nine O'Clock. An employe Of the
rooming house went with him, lighted
the gas heater and instructed him
how to turn 1t off. That was the last
time he was seen alive. Saturday
noon the door to the room occupied
by him was broken In and Mr.. Mes
senger found dead. The fire was out
and the gas turned on full. He had a
small sum Of money with him, which
was unmolested. The door was
locked on the inside and snow on a
shed under his window showed that
no one had entered the room. Wheth-
er the gas was blown out or the flow
stopped for some reason and later
came on, is Of course not known.
Mr. Messenger was 35 years of age
and in comfortable circumstances.
His health was not the best but he
was cheerful and apparently in the
best of spirits. His brother, Byron
Messenger, and Mr.. Smith went to
Ogden on receipt of the news and had
the body prepared for shipment to his
old home at Dayton, Washington. The
body, accompanied by the brother,
passed through here Tuesday night.
The unfortunate man was highly re-
spected and his tragic death has cast
a gloom over all his acquaintances.

DEAN DDINGS WILL
INTEREST ALL
One Of the est Livestock Authorities
in the West to Talk at Farmers In
stitute Tuesay.

1t will be a rare treat for Ameri-
can Falls, when we are favored at
the Institute next week by the ap-
pearance of Professor E. ]. Iddings,
dean of the College OF Agriculture,
University of Idaho. Few men are
as fluent and as authoritative speak
ers as is Dean Iddings. Having en-
joyed a very wide and interesting ex-
perience among stockmen, his lectures
are the expression Of the broadest
and comprehensive knowledge Of live
stock husbandry. So expert in his
Judgment and SO sought after his op-
inions that the farmers of every class
In the entire west are making de-
mands on his time that makes it diff
ficult to catch him off duty.
Professor Iddings has done much
valuable educational work in the
stock judgings of the numerous west
ern fairs. The fall and early winter
finds his schedule so full as to re-
quire his absence almost totally from
the University during the season
He has become so popular Judge
for the very simple but good reason
that he tells why ne makes this or
that placing and in such straight
forward and plain manner as to indi-
cate that he knows why and whereof
he speaks.
Professor Iddings has been slated to
speak twice during the institute al
American Falls and on two very in
teresting subjects which come straight
home to us. 1t is safe to say tina,
both will be revelation ON their re-
spective features of farm life. He will
be an unwise man who misses either
There are others to speak at our
institute and all come here as very
carefully selected material to bring
the right kind of and most applicable
message to Power county. 1t is to
be hoped that their visit will be ap-
preciated by all.
