RACES BRING MORE
ATTENTION TO ROADS

William Twitchell, of Presto, who
made trip in his car to Salt Lake
|city recently, returned after the road
|r$ce Of Sunday, and said that he
|saw men out working on the road
lot various places, repairing the brok-
len surfaces filing holes, raking of
pebbles, and carrying away rocks on
wheel barrows, buckets and wagons.
The rubber tired instruments of
speed are famous road builders They
|cut up a road much faster than
wagons, but where they go good
roadways soon develop. So long as
a man can take his time jogging
along to town in a slow wagon, and
|gets there sooner or later, he does
mot very strenuously call for smooth
roads; but for making time in car,
running on expensive tires, the need
|of hard level roadways becomes very
actual.
L. J. Porter, road overseer, got
busy on the rough stretch of road
just south of Blackfoot after the
showers this week and put some men
and teams at work leveling and FILL
ling. If the rains continue they will
go right on with the work of bring
ing that part of the highway up to
a normal condition. The racers all
noticed that it was the toughest place
between Salt Lake and Blackfoot.
When it is in shape the whole 200
miles will be an especially fine high
way.

FIGHT IN PINGREE COUNTRY

Reports from Pingree indicate that
several of the good citizens OF that
prosperous berg have recently felt
called upon to go out and exercise
their preparedness along the ditch
banks cracking each other over the
head on account of water problems.
There were no casualties but some
prisoners were, captured.
From the reports we received we
were unable to tell who engaged in
the fight and who were looking on.
1t being no crime to look on when
fight starts, there was some difficulty
in determining just who had violated
the letter Of the law. Somebody Is
said to have been brought before his
honor, Judge Cowan, and after an
examination into the case it was re-
ported that he was unable to tell
from the evidence offered just how
many and who were the transgres-

INTEREST In FARMERS
DAY AT ABERDEEN

On Friday, the fourteenth of July,
the agricultural experiment station
at Aberdeen will be thrown open to
visitors. Business men and farmers
are invited to come and see for them
selves the actual results of research
and experiment in profitable crop cul-
ture. Many farmers scarcely realize
how much this work means in money
to them, but on the fourteenth they
will have a chance to be shown. Mr..
Simons. who is in charge Of the
Blackfoot end of the excursion said
this week that some 100 merchants
and business men OF the town Will
make the trip, most of them with
their families. The o. s. L. has made
special arrangements to bring back
the visitors in the evening.

Base Ball Game and Races at Fair
Grounds Filled Day; Band
In the Evening

The morning exercises, which had
been partly arranged, were not car
Iried out, because at the last moment
lit was decided that they could not
|be sufficiently advertised. The band
played on Bridge and Main streets
during the morning, and their good
music was punctuated here and there
by the staccato bangs Of fire-crackers.
The ball game commenced at 1
o'clock. Sugar City was supposed to
bring US a we'll picked team, but in
two or three innings it became ap-
parent to all that they were not .
match for the local boys. They could
not hit Keltus, while nearly every
Blackfoot man connected easily with
their pitchers best efforts. They
failed repeatedly to make good at
team work, and when long fly went
up, which was indeed quite frequent,
some three or four of them would
run for it and all interfere with each
other. The game was stopped at
the sixth inning, the score standing
20 to two in our favor.
The motorcycle races were excell-
ent. The riders made fast time
around the half mile track, altho
they risked their necks at each turn.
The crowd picked favorites and
followed them around and around,
cheering and rising in their seats to
see the last lap.
The first event was a flve-mile free
for all. AL Ward, of Salt Lake city,
was first; Ray Peck, second; D. A.
Jenkins, of Blackfoot, third.
In the three mile race that fol-
lowed, Ward was first, Peck second
and Jenkins third.
In the Australian pursuit race
Ward was first, and Farrow second.
In a consolation race Cooper and
Claffiin made first and second, respec-
lively.
The two pony races, run by white
boys, and Bannock boys, were two
very interesting events. But the In
dian relay horse race was almost as
exciting as a professional affair. A
fine young fellow with handsome
dark face and a cerese silk shirt led
all the way and performed some good
transferring from pony to pony.
E. Bills won the automobile race,
with Lee Jones, of Rigby, coming
second. here were. three cars in
the event. Mr.. Bills struck out ahead
and at the end of the first half, five
miles, he had made almost lap on
his two rivals. At the end he passed
both and won by more than lap.

Not Exciting Finish and Boys Could
Have Made Faster Time

OF the 81 motorcycle riders who
started from Salt Lake city last Sun
day morning for an endurance run
to Blackfoot, Is came in during the
day, and about six made schedule
time. Several arrived ahead OF time
and crossed the tape before they
realized it cost them points. For
the object of the race was rather to
ride consistently all the way, and ar
rive at Blackfoot at given moment,
six hours after starting. They were
to check in and out at three stations
along the way, according to their
schedules. 49,. -.ss5 Il
The farmers and townspeople all
along the road were waiting at every
turn to see the riders speed by, and
they kept wagons and themselves out
of the way so that the road was
clear and no collisions occurred. Ac-
cording to the boys who rode in this
race the highway has never been in
better condition. Some OF this ex-
cellence was due to the rains that
laid the dust two weeks before. But
even at best there is dust enough In
any road race and the boys came In
bearing heavy coats OF IL On tnelr
faces and hands.
The order of finish was as follows:
No. 5, George Garbett Charley
Davidson) time, 5:41s.
No. 6, Teddy Devonovich Charley

Some Difficulties ON the Road
Altho there were no accidents Of
serious nature to those who came
thru, several of them reported mar
row escapes. Teddy Devonovich
came near running over freight
train at McCammon. His goggles
were dusty and when he approached
the stationary train he saw a flag
man wave, but thought it meant to
go ahead. He was just able to turn
aside enough to miss the obstruc-
tion, and spilled doing it, without
worse hurt than a skinned wrist.
Teddy crossed the finish tape ahead
of time, because, as he said, there
was NO way of telling just where 1t
was. Besides, he thought that at
the end of the race it would not be
a demerit to be early. He said 1t
would be unfair to bar man from
first who made every checking sta
tion along the road on time and then
ran the last lap few minutes ahead
of schedule.
Several men complained of picking
up tacks in their tires; they said
there were so many large headed
ones strewn along the road that
someone must have put them there
on purpose. One boy became dis
gusted after finding five stuck in his
tires and threw away his pump.
Thereafter he had no more trouble.
Many had punctures and fixed
them at stations and towns. "Dink"
Tilton was delayed so long at Dow
ney mending punctured tire that
he came in an hour late. But he
made a good ride and arrived in the
best of humor. He is a big husky
colored man. an old hand at riding
and well known in Blackfoot.
Garbett spilled in Pocatello, but
that did not keep him from being
the first to Blackfoot and ahead OF
his schedule time. Fendall spilled

CORPORATIONS ARE
BEHIND GUARDSMEN
Give Them the Time Off and Salary
at the Regular Rate

Never before has there been such
a demonstration of hearty sport Of
government from the moneyed cor
porations in time of trouble. Many
bigS companies have freely offered q
number of their men vacations OF q
month to be spent at training camps,
and now that the national guard has
been called, they are extending their
financial support to cover the cam
paign The following letter has been
sent for instance, by the head office
of the Consolidated Wagon & Ma
chine company to their district man
ayers in Utah, Idaho, Nevada and
June 20, 1916.
"Salt Lake City, Utah,
Gentlemen:
This company by way OF encour-
agement and fairness to it's en-
ployees, who belong to the national
guard and who go to the front, Will
allow the salary that they are draw
ing at the time of their leaving, to
continue during their absence and
while in the service of the state or
federal government and on their re-
turn will be permitted to continue
the positions they left. We Will also
allow full salary to companys en-
.ployees who may join the federal
training camp at Salt Lake city be
tween Agust 19 and September H.
1916.

CARRANZA ARMY IN
WESTERN SONORA
Said to be About 10000 Guards Ar
riving at Their Stations
ON Border

The tension along the border 10
being fast relieved by the many train
loads Of fully equipped national
guardsmen that are going into Ell
Paso and Nogales, principally, and
thence. to- their posts at intervals
along the border. Some have been
sent to re-enforce Pershing's column
and help maintain his communica-
tions, but mostly they will be used
for border patrols.
Shots Exchanged
July 2 short fusillade of shots
between an American sentry post
and the Carranza garrison at Nogales
caused some excitement, but was
found to be nothing but the result
of some excess of booze in the Mexi-
can camp during the previous night.
Mexicans Short Coal
One of the reasons the $4,000 Car
ranzistas are not much feared, con-
centrated as they are in western
Sonora, is that they are getting low
on coal, an important afctor in NOV
ing men to points where they can
do damage.
A German SAILOR, WIZ was 1hsoA"
ed at Santa Rosalia some time ago,
reached Guyamas recently with news
of his trip thru Mexico on slow
troop train. He knew Spanish well
and was treated with consideration
on every hand. The Mexicans have
a great deal of respect for the Ger
mans. Knoder, the sailor, said that
food taken to supply the troops hal
re. gun to be felt among the p3Dulace
of the cities in the form Of actual
hunger.

Selection of Officers

Secretary Daniels plan for promotion
of navy officers by selection instead of
by seniority was accepted. but was so
amended that it would apply to officers
lower than the rank Of commander. Pro-
vision is made for a board of nine ad-
mirals to pass on promotions, and six
must agree in each case. 1t was also
agreed that captains who are not pro-
noted before reaching the age of 81 shall
be retired, and that commanders not pro-
NOTED be retired at As, and lieutenant
commanders at 40. The conferees also
raised the general retirement age limit
from 81 to GA years.
Senator Chamberlain will call up the
army report in the Senate tomorrow.
The bill as agreed on carried $267 ,597, :
900, or $S5, 100000 in excess of the House
bill. A report had been delayed several
days while the war department made
an unsuccessful effort to induce the
House conferees to recede from their
insistence on the Hay amendment ex-
empting retired officers from provis-
ions Of the military code. A 100000
appropriation is included in the bill as
agreed to for relief Of dependent FAM
lilies Of guardsmen and enlisted men.
