The funeral of Neil A. Boyle, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Neil F. Boyle, who
died in Salt Lake City, October 5,
| following an operation for appendi-
citis, was held Sunday last from the
Catholic church at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, and was one of the largest
and most impressive seen for many
years in Blackfoot. The procession
extended from the church to the
cemetery in a long unbroken line.
Two delegation were up from Poca-
tello, representing the knights of
Columbus and Elk lodge to attend.
Only small part of the people as
sembled had been able to find place
inside the church during the services.
At the grave there rose huge pile
of flowers arranged beautifully.
This was a remarkable demonstra-
tion and in honor of remarkable
boy. Taken off in his twenty-third
year, he had already attained wide
friendship. The very qualities which
made him seem little distant to
some, natural diffidence and sensi-
tiveness, went to make his friendly
attraction more rare and thing
highly priced by the friends who real
ly knew him. He was a dutiful son,
and one who listened to the advice
of his experienced elders. He was
a good friend to have and a good
citizen. The community has sorrow
fully acknowledged it's loss.
After finishing his education at the
All Hallows college in Salt Lake he
entered his fathers business, the
Neil F. Boyle Hardware company, in
Blackfoot. and worked up from the
bottom thru every department, so
that he understood it from beginning
to end. He gradually worked into
the management of the wholesale de-
partment, and when the big ware
houses were established at Pocatello
he was placed in charge, under the
supervision of his father. Even in
the founding, this business bid fair
to be an important factor in the
future prosperity Of the intermoun-
tain region, and Neil was the logical
employer of the strong financial
backing which stood behind the
movement. .
He had not only the promise OF
building strong bushes reputation,
but he was personally d clean,
straightforward young man. In sur
rendering to the inscrutible destiny
which sacrifices such promise, 1t is
natural and comforting to believe
that character is a permanent thing,
and has it's life in those living who
were touched by 1t:
"To live in the hearts Of those
who love you is not to die"

BOOSTING OUR TOWN

Ralph Melbourne, representing the
Pocatello Securities company, was in

impressed with the amount of i'm
provements and construction work in
progress in the business section.

Pocatello Securities company and is
selling little of the stock now to
complete the fund needed for install
ing the water system in their addi-

is thoughtful of the farmers is going
to find the farmers thoughtful OF IL.
Shelley has some big men in and
around it. They have been working
to get big business interests into their
community, with the result that they
got a sugar factory this year and
nearly had twins. They lost one OF
them when all ready to break soil,
but the very effort Of trying for big
things proved a good thing for the
town. They realize now what they
can do when they pull together. They
have a promoter or two who will bob
up smiling one of these days with
some new project that the community
needs and they will work with him
and swear by him and possibly swear
at him, but the real promoter works
right on till the goal is reached. Sol
omon in all his glory was not en-
dowed like one of these.
There is another man, also a pro-
moter and a community builder, who
deserves to be remembered in the
community while he is alive and
working. He works better when ne
is encouraged, and accompl1shes
more for his community. Shelley has
such a one in its editor. The town
is small but the paper is as big as
the town in comparison, perhaps
larger. The business men patron1ze
it Loyalty but the residents are not
80 loyal with subscriptions. II they
would hunt it up and subscribe for
it as energetically as they hunt the
bargain counters, it would be possible
to have a paper they would value
more than they do.

RED SOX ARE CHAMPIONS

The worlds series base ball con-
test between the Boston Americans
and Brooklyn Nationals was brought
to a close Thursday by the Boston

games out of the five played. The
first game, held last aSturday at Bos-
ton, was closely fought, and ended

Boston could make the winning
points. On Tuesday Brooklyn rallied
and took the game at to 8. At this
point Brooklyn had a chance, but it
vanished the next day, and Thursday

HOGS STAY PUT

A case before Judge Doud over
the sale of some hogs lasting two
days this week, was decided in favor
of the defendant, Bill Horton, who
bought the porkers, and whose own
ership was contested. Sullivan and
Harris, of Salt Lake, had leased their
ranch at Pingree to J. H. Larson last
February, and tenant and owners
never did entirely agree. Larson sold
some hogs, which the leasers claimed
to own to Mr.. Horton. Then Sulli-
van and Harris went after Horton
to recover the animals, which they
said were not rightfully sold. The
court decided that Larson was in fact
the agent for the owners and Horton
retains the hogs.

BACK FROM HUNTING
TRIP INTO ALASKA

IDAHO FALLS.-Ralph Edmunds
returned a few days ago from his
hunt for big game in the wilds OF
Alaska. He left here on the first
of August and returned two weeks
sooner than he expected, having been
successful in getting the game he
wanted in just II days, when he
expected it would require at least
80 days. He did his hunting on
British soil and in accordance with
the laws was entitled to IL trophies.
He took passage by boat from Van
couver to Skagway, Alaska. He took
what is called the inside route, which
leads thru thousands of islands in
still water. He made close connec-
tions by boat up the Stickine river
to Telegraph creek. He finally reach
ed the head water of Mackenzie and
Yukon rivers.
The region is known as the Cas-
star district. His party consisted OF
two Indians and white cook, with
six pack horses. He says no one
could have hunted there before, as
all the game was tame and did not
seem to fear man. He took pic
lures of sheep, which stoop as If
posing not SO feet away. He secured
a fine saddleback buck sheep, one
black sheep and three fine speci-
mems of caribou. He secured an
"ovis tanini," which is cross be-
tween the "ovis stoni'' and the "ovis
dalla," said to be the second one ever
secured. He brought all of his tro-
phies home and will have them
mounted. Last year Mr.. Edmunds
hunted in the wilds Of Mexico and Sc
cured some valuable specimens.
