GETTING READY FOR
THE HOTEL BUILDING
Old Buildings Being Cleared Away;
Expect to Start Excavation
by Fifth of June

The clearing of the site where the
new Eccles hotel is to stand Is in
the hands of the Parkinson Realty
company. The Hopkins brothers, who
owned the house on the corner OF
Taylor and Pacific, retained both the
house and barn. The latter made a
trip to the other side of town few
days ago and spent one night In the
middle of Main street. The second
house was sold to Mrs. Carson and
the third to Mr.. Hinckle, and they
are being wrecked this week. It is
the intention that excavation shall
begin by June 5 and in the mean
time the lumber yard on the Tanner
addition, where lot was purchased
by the Oregon Lumber company, Will
be rushed so it will be able to fur
nish the necessary lumber when
building begins.
According to the most recent ad-
vices, architects are working at the
plans for the hotel structure and will
probably have them completed with
in week or so. 1t Is being consid-
cred by the Eccles Investment COM
pany to build a garage just west of
the hotel, facing Pacific street, which
will increase the convenience of the
hotel service. Under present inten-
tions this garage will be occupied by
the Bills Auto company, and will be
completed some time in August.

WOMEN CALL UPON
BORAH TO WORK FOR
NATIONAL SUFFRAGE
Borah Politely but Firmly Refuses
Reads Both Letters i'm Senate;
Reserves Right of Opinion

At q mass meeting in Boise some
very comprehensive resolutions were
passed, resolving to protest against
the blocking in the house judiciary
committe of the federal suffrage
amendment known as the Susan B.
Anthony, demanding that it be voted
upon in this session and calling upon
Senator Borah to work and vote
for the passage Of the amendment
in the senate"
Senator Borah answered In like
wise decided way, and equally COM
prehensively, that inasmuch as he
has held opposite views on the sub
ject for a long time, and has not
yet changed his mind, it would be
impossible for him to surrender his
convictions on this vital matter. He
afirms that he desires the people of
Idaho to feel that he wants to serve
their best interests and also that he
entertains convictions of his own as
to how best to do so. In conclusion
he writes:
Following in the wake of those
who lately visited our state in the
interest of this amendment great
number of resolutions are coming in
to my office, all clothed in exactly
the same language. AS it is impos-
sible for me to find time, as l should
like to do, to write them all / take
the privilege of making this letter
public that they may understand that
my failure to answer is not byreason
of any want of decision in the mat

ANDERSON WILL MEET SMITH
HERE NEXT WEEK

In their last match, May 10,
Dutch" Anderson won two falls out
of three over Red Smith and the
90 was fast and interesting all thru.
Smith has secured a return bout and
they will mix again next Monday
evening at Buttcane's hall. They are
both in good condition. Smith goes
out to the sugar factory and wields
q pick and shovel for exercise and
they both expect to do some road
work this week. Wrestling has
"come back" in Blackfoot. The fans
who attended the match between
these two boys couple of weeks ago
are we'll aware that every time they
get together on a mat a speedy go
is assured. The attendance this time
will be much larger. A lot Of fell
lows had no idea before May 10 that
so good match could be pulled off
in Blackfoot. The preliminaries have
not yet been arranged for; an effort
will be made to secure a couple of
boxers for one preliminary. Interest
in running high and very likely some
side bets will be placed. Outside bet
ting Is going about $3.50.

BLACKFOOT BOY IN
BIG ZEPPELIN RAID

Willis s. Thomas, son Of City At
torney l.. r. Thomas, and who is now
on a mission in the north of Eng
land, tells in recent letter of his
experiences during German air raid
on the town in which he happened to
be living.
AS he says, the windows of every
house are curtained in black so that
no tell-tale light may serve as q
Guide to the marksmen above. On
this particular night he was preoc-
cupied indoors and had not heard OF
any warning about danger of an at
tack. Suddenly a loud explosion
close by startled him. It announced
the enemy's presence. 1t was IL
o'clock. r
Willis turned out the light in his
room so that he could open the win
dow and peer out. More explosions
came in quick succession and as he
looked there came other streaks OF
fame down from the sky. And there
above them circled the dark engines
of the air, in plain sight, but high
up. The bombs were striking within
small radius of him, mostly among
the business houses and churches,
many of which were utterly wrecked.
Is persons were killed by the explo-
sions and over 100 injured Willis
will remember that night and its ter
rible, yet fascinating, experience. HE
is expected home in July.

resses and actors all did well, put
lots of zest into their parts and kept

RAINY SEASON BEGINS

A very welcome shower visited
parts of the valley last Saturday and
the weather Clerk in his goodness has
repeated the dose many times since.
According to the prognisticator at
The Republican office the rainy
weather will continue until the four
teenth of June and then it will clear
up and be warm.
This is based upon the fact that
the chautauqua comes to Idaho Fails
on the sixteenth and we want them to
get started off right with the weather
in their favor.

because it starts at Blackfoot the day

is that the programs, except for the
two speakers. were entirely compos-
ed of numbers rendered by high
school pupils, thus making them
truly school affairs.
Reverend Frank Wemet, of Idaho
Falls, delivered a most inspiring ad-
dress, the subject Of which was
Reverence; The Fear of The Lord
is The Beginning Of Wisdom" his
text was taken from Psalms CXI: 10
" and proved to be of absorbing
interest to the large audience pres
ent. He emphasized that youth in
social activities, folly and zest, was
inclined to become irreverent and
temporarily forget those things
which should at all times be held
most sacred; that thinking of our
mothers and fathers, who have only
the fondest hopes for us, of good
men and women and of noble things,
instead of the frivolous and often de-
grading pleasures, will breed in us
reverence, and with that many other
things will be acquired to make our
lives more unselfish, happy and help
full. The address was very impress
siye. as was manifested by the emo
tion of not only the members of the
class, but by the greater part OF the
audience.
