whole season last Sunday, Blackfoot

Motive Clerks to a score of 20 to Z.
The clerks were acknowledged cham
lpions of the o. s. L. league.
Seventeen hits were landed by the
locals on the three Gate City hurlers,
whose best efforts failed to check
the onslaught. 1t was like the Rus
lsion roller.
, Keltus pitched his usual effective
game during his six innings in the
box. He was relieved by Howard, o
new acquisition to Blackfoot from
Downey. who also pitched good ball.
The feature of the game was run
ming one-hand catch by Keltus,
Thorstenburg's home run, and In gen.
eral by the splendid hitting of the
Blackfoot team.

COMPARING ROADS AND SCHOOLS

Neils Anderson, Of Thomas, has
been studying the questions of good
roads and public schools, and OBJ
serves that the county levies $.0025
for roads for every $.0015 for
schools.
Mr.. Anderson after studying the
matter for some months has reached
the conclusion that roads and schools
ought to be about on a par, and that
the county should either add one mill
to the school levy or take half a
mill from the road levy and add it
to the school levy.

Board of Directors Doing all They
Can. Premiums Doubled ON
Farm Products. Good
Program of Amuse-
ments Arranged
PARK TOURISTS WANT TO SEE

: The success of the Blackfoot fail
now depends on the farmers. Tht
many tourists going thru this valley
every day can see the wealth of tht
field by the roadside, but those wht
stop at the fair will form their ideas
of the resources of the valley by what
they see on exhibit in the Floral hal
and at the stock pens, stables and
poultry houses during the fair. The
exhibit in the Woman's building will
show products that might be made
up anywhere regardless of sun and
soil and climate, but it is up to the
farmers and stockmen to furnish the
proof of resources this time. The
business men of the towns and will.
ages have furnished the money to
provide the premium lists and the
directors are distributing them thru
out the county. The farmer and
stockman having the products has
this one duty and opportunity to help
make up the exhibit.
If the farmer on the irrigated
tracts realized the mass of wealth
they have in their fields as compared
with their neighbors dry farming on
the desert, they would take great
pleasure in placing the best Of it on
exhibit at the fair. If he realized
how hard is the lot of the dry farmer
and how little he raises per square
foot, he would be glad to exhibit
what he raised on one square foot
of his highly productive fields, and
after comparing 1t with the dry farm
exhibit and noting what long hard
battle it takes to get even that, he
and his family would return to their
rich farm in the oasis belt, filled with
a new inspiration to so till their soil
that it will yield even greater returns
the coming year. If he could only
know how much the dry farmer has
to do and endure to maintain home
and keep even stale water in his cis-
tern, he would be filled with new
inspiration to make as much effort
to have fine water system supply
ing hot and cold water in his house
and cold water in his stables ready
to tap at a touch Of the faucet.
If the dry farmer will come to the
fair and bring his meager products
of the square foot and compare the
QudHClIy anu qudllIy Will tIo "a oouNC
of the same amount Of irrigated
lands, and then enquire into the great
difference in the amount invested in
them before either of those square
feet can be made to yield, then he
would be able to form new concep-
tion of what he can undertake with
his capital, and to judge whether he
would prefer to have his meager capi-
tai invested in ten acres of irrigable

When Mr.. Reese was asked what
he was going to do after turning over
the ranch to the new owner he said
he would look around some and see
what he took an interest in.

WORK PROGRESSES ON
THE NEW ECCLES HOTEL

Some carpenters have been put to
work again building forms for con-
crete on the foundations and masonry
of the hotel, and the concrete mixer
is once more humming. Evidently
materials are coming in so that no
further delay will be necessary. The
carpenters union seems to have ar
ranged things for work satisfactorily.
Lumber is beginning to accumulate
at the Yards of the Oregon Lumber
company north Of town.

Saves Supply Train and
Funds of Army Corps and
Is Decorated For Braueru

Vienna, Austria, Feb. IAN official
report Of the Austro-H Hungarian general
staff states that Lieut.. Jenoe of the
34th Austrian reserve infantry regi-
ment has been decorated with the mill
tary cross for an act Of bravery which
saved the dual monarchy $500. 900 in
cash. The young officer Accomplished
deed months ago during the campaign
in northern Galicia, but it has not been
mentioned until now.
On the third day Of the battle of
Jaworow the Austro- Hungarian supply
trains came under a terrible fire from
the Russian artillery and were at
tackled by COssacks.
Everything seemed lost, but Lieut..
Jenoe who commanded one of the trains
after hard fight succeeded in driving
the COssacks back and extricating his
wagons from the general chaos At
the critical moment heavy fog fell
and hampered the pursuing Cossacks.
Ihen the night came and protected the
fleeing Austrians.
Early the next morning a small de-
tachment Of COssacks caught up with
the column, but Lieut. Jenoe repulsed
the attack and captured IS Of the Rus
slams. Another attack later in the day
was also repulsed.
The capture Of the column would
have been a severe loss to the Austrians
because the wagons contained the war
chest Of the corps containing il mil
lion kroner ($2.S00.000), besides many
valuable documents.

More than 1000 textile mills. employ

either idle OF running on part time be-
cause Of the shortage Of dyes. There is
no immediate hope of relief from the
creation of an American aniline dye

is that American dye works would not

Smugglers, Dressed All
In While, Risk Death on
Russian-Swedish Border

Stockholm. Sweden. Feb. Zone would
not think off hand that there would be
much smuggling across the border between
Sweden and Finnish Russia, in winter. The
country is grim and forbiddirg- Dwellings
are few The temperature is extremely low
and many persons are frozen TO death every
year the latitude being that Of the Arctic
circle.
Yet in this far off region desperate
game is played night and day. Mostly night
to be sure. for the day is only from 10
o'clock in the morning TO o'clock in the
afternoon.
Smugglers dress all in white and pin
sheets over their sleds. the latter often
drawn by hand. Then they try to steal
across the Tonnes Elf river in the glow Of
the Aurora Borealis.
Along the Tornea Ell Russia has custom
guards stationed, big burly fellows averag.
ing several inches taller than the ordinary
mudjik. The orders are: shoot on sight
A rifle ball flies at anything seen moving
across the river except by the regular win
ter routes Of travel.
Yet smuggling Is persistent. The prize IS
a large one for the successful In retalia-
tion for the British blockade measures.
Sweden has put embargo on many aru-
cles. 1t is said that smugglers often make
one thousand per cent on their freight for
there is a dearth in many lines in the Mus
covite empire and manufacturers OF MOSCOW

Home Trade OF u. S. Is
S5OO,OOO,0 100000; Nearly

been much discussion in recent months
of the rapid growth Of the foreign
trade of the United states, which
reached the record breaking total OF
over $1,000. 100000 during 1915. some
figures just compiled here show that
even this impressive amount is insig-
nificant when compared with the vol
ume of home trade. According to this
estimate, which has been carefully pre-
pared BY experts. the domestic COM
merce of the country last wear amount
ed to over $500, 00O,000,000. or practi-
callv 100 times the amount Of foreign
trade When shipments of goods abroad
scored a total Of S1O,O00.000 for sin
gle day early last fall. it was heralded
as a wonderful achievement, but II
the investigation referred to above IS
correct in its conclusions the home
trade of this nation averages the stu
pendous figure Of almost S1,5O0OOOOOo
every day throughout the year.
