CUTTING CLOSE HOME

The Idaho Statesman, of Boise, has
adopted measure to meet the paper
famine. AS fast as subscriptions ex-
pire a notice Is sent to the patron
inviting him to renew and pay cash
in advance; failure to respond to this
invitation results in the subscribers
name being taken out of the mailing
list The result will be that people
will put up the cash or quit reading
Idaho's leading newspaper. When
this practice is followed by the con-
servative ones and the ''loose end"
managements of others go to the wall
there will be such a thinning out of
the superfluous publications that
legitimate newspaper enterprise will
have field in which to exercise it's
usefulness according to first prin-
ciples.
The output of the paper mills is
being moved direct to the presses Of
the country for consumption, and the
consumption has been so much great
er than the supply is now, that the
inevitable pinch is fast approaching.
This little eight-page weekly has a
nine months supply and is looking
on with interest to see who first goes
down the toboggin slide.

BLACKFOOT MUSIC LOVERS

The musical concert given last
Thursday evening by Miss Lucy Gates,
assisted by Clifford and Joseph Give,
was truly appreciated by a nice at
tendance at the high school assembly,
and it not only served to stop up the
void of the unmusical summer season,
but to enliven the natural expecta-
tions of indoor entertainments for
the comino winter. Miss Gates pleas
ed her audience noticeably by her ap-
pearance and bearing, as we'll as her
songs, for she was dressed in most
simple taste, with no glare of jewelry
or decorations to distract attention
from the music. Joseph Give made
more than good with the people of
Blackfoot with his cello playing, for
he is artistic and draws a fine strong
bow over his rich toned instrument.
The able accompaniment on the piano
by Clifford Give left nothing to be
desireu of the harmonious evening.
1t was prize evening altogether and
the people declare they want more
7such enjoyment.

VILLA FORCES INTERRUPT
HIDALGO DAY CELEBRATION

Hidalgo day, the Mexican inde-
pendence day, was observed all over
Mexico, Saturday, September 16, with
parades, bull fights and civil exer-
cises. At Chihuahua city Villas
men surrounded the place during the
festivities and after all had retired
for the night leaving only Carran-
"a sentries at their posts, the bandits
suddenly crept closer until they were
challenged. There was a drizzle Of
rain, enough to make the men indis-
tinguishable, so that by answering,
viva Carranza, they were enabled
to close with the pickets and over
power them.
Ride Into Buildings
They entered the city in four sep
arate attacks, opened the penetenti-
ary to liberate the prisoners, rode
their horses into the churches and
public buildings, destroyed furniture,
draperies and costly paintings. Gen
eral Trevino, being in command of
the Carranza garrison soon rallied
his men. He sent the infantry and
cavalry to take positions around the
palaces, and placed his artillery on
some heights commanding the city.
Chasing Bandits
The bandits were routed and when
they fed, were pursued in every di-
rection into the rough country of the
vicinity. About $50 Carranzistas and
from 200 to 600 Villistas are re-
ported to have been killed in
the battle. Many prisoners were
put to death, and large number OF
civilian Inhabitants of Chihuahua fell
under arrest the next day accused of
with the attackers. Gen.
eral Trevino issued orders that any
person other than the soldiery on the
streets after 10 o'clock at night
should be shot.

ALLIES ENLARGE
RECLAIMED AREA

The allies have now recovered an
area some 20 miles long and 5 miles
wide. Their lines are approaching
Combles and Peronne, the immediate
objectives of the drive, and they have
captured several miles of railroad
that ran parallel to the former Ger
man advance lines, and which served
to supply Peronne from the south.
In the 10 days between September
3 and September 13 German subma-

UNITED OR APART
THEY CAN'T. AGREE

Districts 48 and IL in the Thomas
section have been quarrelling and
compromising and having all kinds
of trouble over the school improve
ments needed by their children. Dis
trict IL stands divided upon the ques-
tion of, uniting with district 4S, and
altho district IL does not possess an
adequate school house for the grow
ing population of youngsters they can
not get majority to favor rebuild
ing the school house.
A petition was presented to the
board of county commissioners pray
ing them to provide for the union of
districts 4S and 12, which was grant
ed. But certain delegation of citi-
zens representing those of contrary
mind succeeded in having this grant
reversed. An earnest mass meeting
was held in district IL at which it
was decided to issue bonds for the
improvement of the school house of
the district. After the election had
been held with a favorable vote, the
opposition made contest of it be-
fore the district court and had the
election declared invalid.
1t takes a two-thirds vote to de-
clare bond issue properly, and
there were enough who wanted con-
solidation to defeat the bonds. For
a consolidation a majority of the
family heads must agree, which so
far has been impossible. So things
are where they were: unable to i'm
prove their own school house, be-
cause half of them want to join dis
tricts with 4S, and likewise unable
to consolidate because half want to
improve their own school house, the
citizens of district No. IL have turned
the decision over to the future.

PIONEER OF IDAHO BAR
SUDDENLY SUMMONED
"Uncle" Jonas Brown of Boise Passes
Away at Home i'm Boise

Boise, Sept. 17-Jonas Brown,
Familiarity known as "Uncle," one of
the best known pioneer lawyers of
the state is dead here from heart
trouble at the age of 81 years. Mr..
Brown was one of the charter mem
bers of the Masonic lodge of Idaho,
was active in the order in the pio-
neer days of Boise basin and was
a past grand master of the grand
lodge. He held all the important
positions in the Masonic lodge and
was in attendance at the grand lodge
in Twin Falls the past week.
Crossing the plains with an OK team
from Ohio to Shasta county, Cal, in
1858, he spent his entire life from
early manhood, more than half Gen.
tury, in the golden west and his life
has been inseparably interviewer with
ifornia, Washington and Idaho. When
he first went to California he worked
for time as a carpenter and later
engaged in mining. In 1856 he was
elected county clerk of Siskiyou coun-
ty, which office he held two years.
He was afterwards deputy county
clerk for two years and next held the
important position of deputy sheriff
in those stirring days. He moved to
Florence, Idaho, and held the offices
of clerk of the district court, clerk
of the probate court, deputy county
auditor, recorder and deputy treas
urer of Idaho, all at the same time.

FACTORIES COMPETE
FOR BEET CROPS

A number of meetings have been
called in the Aberdeen branch section
OF Bingham county recently by the
Eccles Investment interests. in the
hands of H. N. and F. N. Parkinson.
To each meeting a representative of
the Utah-ldaho sugar factory was in
v1ted and crop contracting was talked
to the farmers with the eloquence and
vehemence of evangelism. 1t is claim
ed by the Eccles people that they
have already signed up so much land
that not 1000 acres are left in the
whole region to be had for beet grow
ing.
A Sure Thing
The contest Is centered on the
question as to who shall build fac
tory in that section and railroad feed
ers for the beet crops. The Utah
Idaho sugar factory assures the peo-
pie that If the thousand acres can
be secured for its use there will be
a factory on the branch somewhere,
presumably at Aberdeen. Nothing Is
definite about the place, nor about
the manner of feeder lines of trans
portation which are promised in con-
nection with the factory.
The Eccles representatives say only
that they have enough contracts to
build factory for, and that there
will be railroad to carry off the
beets. They will not say where the
factory will be placed, nor what kind
of railroad it will be. That company
has heretofor used the electric lines
exclusively. The Utah-Idaho people
say they will transport next years
crops from the ground upon which
they grow to the factory by trucks
or railway, or that they will pay the
farmers for hauling.
Market Price.
The Eccles men promise, in the
contract to pay the farmers the high
est price that is offered at any time
for their beets. They remind the
farmers that the other people have
not paid them as much money as
they might, and that already the
threat of competition. has loosened
them up to promise a new factory
on the branch, and transportation.
Both parties are signing up beet con-
tracts as tho life depended upon it,
and at all events that country is made
Is a beet growing section.

HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES
ELECT THEIR OFFICERS

The four classes at the high school
took the first opportunity to call
meetings and make a choice of Of
| ticers to manage their affairs during
! the school term. 1t was a matter
of glad reunion and meeting Of old
friends with the three upper classes,
and only the "freshies" were intro
duced to a new and mysterious op-
Grafton, their first lesson on self gov
ernment. OF course the upper class
men made it further mysterious and
difficult by their advice. They crowd
around the sanctum into which the
non-plussed freshment had retreated,
and even, If rumor may be credited,
they hurled hard missiles, shoes and
brick-bats, thru the doors and win
dows to intimidate the infants"
pristine deliberations. Mr.. Marlowe
undertook to be the freshman's
Moses, and he instructed them wisely
lin matters of law making and law
abiding. He also told them how
they ought to act in a perfectly dig
nified freshman meeting and depart
ed, having set the wheels in motion.
The election results are as follows:
4 Seniors: Port Arthur, president;
Beatrice Blomquist, vice president;
Albert Browning, treasurer;;\ Leta
