Berlin. Dec. 16.-(By wireless to
Sayville. DIR. Alfred Zimmerman,
secretary for foreign affairs, discussed
| yesterday with a member of the staft
| of the Overseas News agency the i'm
preston created in Germany by the
attitude of the United States toward
Germany and Great Britain as outlin-
, ed in The Associated Press dispatch
! of November 19. DIR. Zimmerman
said LAS to the impression created:
Almost since the beginning of the
| war two currents Of opinion could be
discerned in Germany. Judging by
the rules of neutrality the United
States Intentionally favored Great
Britain in an almost outspoken fash
ion. according to some: others took
the view that the United States was
neutral in spirit and action. The dis
cussion between the advocates Of
these two opinions was sometimes
very animated. This discussion was
reopened by the dispatch in question.
The parties and newspapers that did
not believe that America was obserV-
ing strict neutrality accepted the dis
patch as confirmation OF their opinion
and to the others the news came as
a shock
"In order to understand this effect
one has only to recall the large num-
ber of facts which have been before
the eyes of the German public dur
ing the last few years. England has
repeatedly announced that English
ships ought to he ready to destroy
German submarines wherever they
find them. This has been publicly
proclaimed. as well. by private as by
official persons in England. Quite
recently, Lord Cecil, in the British
parliament gave expression to this
view.
The London Times of Nov. 81 pub
lished a letter from a well known
memper of parliament and ship owner
(Robert P) Houston, promising to
every English born captain a prize of
G 1000 who, with an English merchant
Houston on this occasion added that

marines have attacked and in some
cases have sunk German merchant
men without the slightest warming
Those sunk were the German steam
ers Burgemeister Votmelle. Dorita,
The EIbe and Hollandia. They were
all attacked by enemy submarines
with artillery or torpedoes without the
shadow of a warning.

1t was generally understood that
if the bond election did not carry
the hotel enterprise would be aband-
oned, as Mr.. Eccles had said all the
time he would not spend his money
in town the size Of Blackfoot If it
would not pave the streets. The
Eccles interests will build a hotel
costing hundred thousand dollars,
and it is said that the hotel will be
the base of greater operations affect
ing the locality in its agricultural
development.

PAVING BOND D
ELECTION
CARRIES
Strong Majority Favors
Paving--First Big Step
of Progress Taken.

With the passing Of the proposed
bond issue of $22,250 for paving the
street crossings and intersections,
Blackfoot has decidedly put her best
foot foremost. The vote stands 15
to for the bonds, or in round numb
ers. 379 favorable and 25 opposing
votes. This is clear proof that Black
foot wants some paving. 1t was a
fairly representative vote of the
property holders.
1t is well known that the Eccles
interests. who are contemplating the
erection of a large modern hotel in
Blackfoot, conditioned their i'm
mediate action in some part upon the
matter of paving, and we may now
turn our faces forward in the ex-
pectatiOn of seeing many things hap
pen favorably to the town in short
succession. Already the horizon is
bright with full formed promise.
This marks another birthday for the
town, and right we'll does it need
many more in quick succession.

PLEASURE TRIP
ON RIVER ENDS in
FATAL DISASTER
One Man Drowned at Tilden Bridge
In Effort to Rescue Girl

Several lives were imperilled and
one lost in the Snake river at the new
Tilden bridge last Saturday when
Bob Stone and Gertrude Nelson were
thrown from a boat in trying to cross
the river to take some kodak pic
lures. Miss Nelson's mother did
everything she could to dissuade
them from making the trip while the
current was so high and swift. Their
boat capsized in. mid stream. Stone
happens to be a strong swimmer, and
was able to hold Miss Nelson's head
above water until she caught hold
on some of the timbers of the false
work used in the bridge construction.
Stone was sucked under the timbers,
but managed to get free and start
for shore after help. He reached q
sand bar and had to wait there until
a man swan a horse out from the
shore and took him in.
Rescuer Drowned
1t was a difficult undertaking to
get boats out to where Miss Nelson
was lodged between the timbers.
Several boats capsized with their oc-
upants. One Of them, with an eld-
erly man named Larsen, was sucked
under by treacherous current and
neither man nor boat were again
seen.

YOUTHFUL JOY
RIDERS INJURED
in ACCIDENT
Hit Bridge Near Rigby, Back End of
Car Thrown up, None Serious
ly Hurt.

A party of young people from
Blackfoot received severe jolting
when their car struck high arched
bridge near Rigby, and three Of their
number were badly shaken up and
bruised. The members of the party
were Miss Berenda Showalter, Laur-
en- Wright, George Daviss Miss Al
freda Showalter, Charlie Davis and
Miss Letha Jacobs. The last three
were injured badly. enough to lay
them up for several days, and they
accepted the hospitality Of ;rancher
for conyalescense. The car was not
damaged much. It was SIMPLY . case
Of taking a ffisky, leap, alighting
ri~ht side up and in. the road. The
three who were left at Bill's ranch
were brought home to Blackfoot Wed
nesday afternoon, and are getting
well rapidly.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1916-05-12

saw the timbers apart. The swift
current heaved and tore the boats as
the men sawed at the timbers. Miss
Nelson had been in the icy water
for almost four and half hours by
the time the last timber fell away
and up until within few minutes of
that time she remained conscious.
They took her to the bank, wrapped
warm blankets about her, and hur-
ried her to Pocatello by way of
Blackfoot in car blonging to r. A.
Ward She was painfully bruised,
and chilled to exhaustion, and In a
very serious condition. Her father,
John Nelson, and her brothers, up
on Lost river, were Immediately In
formed of the accident.
Another Almost Lost Life
A man became excited during the
first attempts to get boats to Miss
Nelson's rescue, jumped into a boat
capsizd few yards from shore, and
was soon in great dancer himself.
1t took rescuers an hour and half
to get him back to safety. DR.. Nc
Kinnon, who had been called from
Aberdeen, threw the man rope and
pulled him In.
Body Not Found
A skilled diver made several dives
for the body of Mr.. Larsen, but gave
it up as hopeless task.

IMPROVEMENTS IN
& WATER SYSTEM
New Pumps and reserve Tank To
Be Installed. Will Sink
Another Well

When the water was shut off one
half the time for several days last
week many persons thought that in
case of fire there would be shortage
of water. But it was just the other
way, there was a shortage of domes-
tic supply SO that in case of fire
there would be plenty. In other
words, one of the four pumps used
by the water company to elevate the
water to the big tank was put out
of order and had to be repaired. To
keep the tank full with the other
three required that the domestic sup
ply be kept down to no more than
was absolutely, necessary. -9------'---',----

HEAVY FROST NIPS
MOST OF THE FRUIT

The farmers and town folk who
raise fruit report that so far as ap-
pearances 20 nearly all fruit has
been killed blythe cold frosts of
Tuesday and Wednesday nights. 1t
may be seen about Blackfoot that the
blossoms were altogether nipped off,
but it is yet quite early. and there is
hope 4Ar pretty good fruit supply
out of what is saved or had not
come to bloom.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1916-05-12
Doubling the Reserve

But soon there will be even less
danger of shortage Two large CEN
trifugal pumps have been ordered
and a supplementary reservoir Is be-
ing constructed on the surface at the
side of the tank structure. The first
unit of this reservoir will be 25x30
feet in size and IA feet deep, and 1t
can be built up higher as the need
grows. 1t will hold $4,000 gallons.
Instead Of one lift from the wells
to the top of the elevated reservoir
the new arrangement allows the
water to be relayed; first brought to
the surface and then elevated. Ac-
cording to G. F. Hilliard, manager
of the water company, they are going
to drill another we'll for one of the
new pumps. The pumps can all be
directed into the water mains, with
out spending any force raising the
water to the tank, If occasion should
demand. There is some talk Of run
ming a four-inch water main up to
the high school, but whether 1t will
be done is uncertain. Mr.. Hilliard
said this week that when the new
14-inch well is drilled and the new
machinery installed, at cost of
$4,000 and $1,000, the company will
be equipped to meet the growing
needs of Blackfoot for ten years to
come.

BUSINESS men HOLD
GET TOGETHER MEETING

prefaced his speech with the remark
that he had not known before that
day that Blackfoot was without a
commercial club and that he was
very glad to see the beginnings
made.
The Judges Dream
Others who addressed the as
sembly were Mayor Peck, E. Pearson
and Judge Anderson. The mayor
was promised systematic support
from every ward in favor of the bond
election. JUDGE Anderson plead
strongly for good roads, 80 that the
whole county can be In close touch,
one part with another, thru the best
facilities for travel. He rehearsed
a horrible bumpity-bump nightmare
he had experienced upon falling
asleep in the back seat of an auto
mobile coming up from Pocatello.
Only a man familiar with his Dante
could have suffered from such a
dream. But the judge blamed the
rough road just south of town.
Do 1t Again
Upon the information that there
was enough money left over from
the banquet fund to provide another
such dinner, r. w. Adair suggested
that the committee on organization
arrange for another banquet just
like the first to be given il possible
at time when the visitors, Mr.. Ec-
cles and Mr.. Anderson, could be pres
ent.
The Waters Fine
The gathering was a great sue
cess. A spirit Of unity has been
quietly mounting in Blackfoot and
at this proper encouragement it took
definite form. 1t is now force that
means quicker advancement for the
community, a force to be reckoned
with from this time on. All those
citizens who missed the first oppor-
tunity are cordially urged to join
forces at the next meeting. The
idea is, get together and stick to-
gether.
The committee expressed regret
that they did not get to make a
thoro canvass of all the business
men so they could all be present.
In planning where to hold it they
changed locations twice, each time
moving it to where they could have
room and add some more guests.

Blackfoot Lime up for Per-.
manent Organization

Seventy five Of Blackfoot's leading
citizens took supper together Thurs
day evenil G in the basement of the
Baptist church. They were gathered
by a self appointed booster commit
tee, composed of F. N. Parkinson,
H. D. McCosham and l.. B. Dustin,
who had tickets printed for the sup
per. which they sold for IS cents
each and the "feed" alone was well
worth that much. The friendliness
and cooperative spirit resulting were
worth much more. The committee
expressed regret at not having had
the time to approach many other
citizens who would have been present
il they hao known about the meet
ing.
Organization Planned
P. w. Powers was made chairman
and toastmaster, after dinner, and
he proceeded to call upon the vari-
GUS members. Every one had some
thing to say, some good idea that
a body of progressive townsmen
could use to the betterment Of their
town. The need for an organization
seemed to grow until at the close OF
the meeting a committee of three
was selected to work up a proposal
of permanent organization. The COM
mittee consists of F.. N. Parkinson,
H. D. MacCosham and l.. B. Dustin,
the three prime movers in the first
get together meeting.
A Town Census
H. D. MacCosham took the floor
to say that good way to take a
census of Blackfoot had been sug-
ested to him by School Superintend-
ent w. D. Vincent. The plan is to
train a number of school students
and send them out over the town
at certain time so that it would
be all done in an hour. Mr.. Vim
cent was made committee of one
to arrange for the census taking.
The Needed Pavements
F. N. Parkinson was called upon
and showed he had been thinking
about helpful measures that might
be undertaken by a good live COM
mercial club. He urged everybody
to support the bond election to pro-
vide for paving the street crossings
and intersections. He said 1t would
be absurd to refuse as city to pave
the intersections after the property
owners had spent 100000 to pave
the streets.

ed the association movement. !.
