PAPER STOCK GOING UP

Printers and publishers are all ago
over the rapid and continual aa-
yances in the prices OF paper STOCK:
wholesalers keep the mails run Oh
notices of advancing prices ana quo-
tations cancelled or recalled. "A
printer orders stock today ana ny
the time the order is packed the
price may be off and uncertainty
arise as to shipping it without wiring
to get approval on existing prices.
Some kinds of paper have doubled IN IN
cost. and the kinds most used nave
gone up steadily and are still mount
ing higher. Unless the war IN
Europe ceases soon and prices pe,
come fixed the printing business VIII
witness more bankruptcies than nave
occurred during the panics. II d

PAPER per day, at the old prices, anu
now consumes $50 worth and the
printed product is delivered at aDout
the old price, that printer Will DC

BIG new
HOTEL FOR
BLACKF0OT
Stock Company Formed and Site
Purchased

Eccles brothers, of Logan, Utah.
acting in conjunction with Blackfoot
men and W.. P. Lohman, OF Los
Angeles have arranged the general
plans for launching a large new hotel
in Blackfoot, to cost about one hund-
red thousand dollars. The building
is to be located on North Taylor
street opposite The Republican office.
where block of ground 125xI6S
feet has been purchased.
Eccles brothers made the PROPOSE
ton that they would put up two
dollars for every dollar put up by
Blackfoot men, for improvement not
including the furniture, and local
men responded by raising $25,OOO'
Eccles brothers will match 1t with
$4,000 and it is expected that con-
struction work will begin in about
six weeks. When the building Ia
under way a bond issue will be hoat-
ed and by that means another $25,-
600 is to be raised. Eccles brothers
will equip and operate the hotel and
it will have from so to Is rooms
It will be in central location, Will
be far enough from the railroad to
be desirable in that respect, and II
will be the means of bringing mucn
business to town.

FERNS IN THE LAVAs

Last Sunday a party consisting OF
IT A. Hayes and wife, M. M. Farmer
and wife and M. N. Austin and wife
went out to the lavas and brought
in seven gunny sacks hlled Win
ferns. They went out past the Kin
new ranch northeast of Moreland,
crossed all the lavas including the
Hog Back, then went into the hrst
pocket to the right. There are plenty
of places where there are ferns put
some are better than others, anu
this party found all they wanted ana
more. They took refreshments ga
lore, had a banquet on the rocks
smoked their eyes some, had a glor-
ious day and are rich in ferns.
One thing that impresses tolks
who 20 ferning is the rich velvety
soil in which they grow. The more
of an agriculturist a person Is the
crazier he goes over the SOIL. some
folks get so nutty over it they pro-
ceed to fill sacks and boxes and buc,
kets with it and repot their mouse
plants in it when they get home.
Ferning will be going on for
! month yet and you must get lhtt
rough lavas where there are deel
crevices, 10 to 20 feet deep and q
couple of feet wide to find ferns. II
YOU want to go back Of the lavas
with autos it might be done by goine
around the point beyond Morelanc
then following the old wood roae
eastward, but we cannot vouch Lol
the condition of this road yet. w
will look it up and report.
The right way to dig ferns Is rol
two men with shovels to work OF
the roots at once, and have part!
at the top of the crack to pull then
up in a bucket or basket with ropes
Then place them in boxes. Ii place.
in sacks they bruise more. some
times they can be handed up out o
the cracks without the aid OF ropes
i Parties going to the lavas shoul'
wear their worst old shoes an
clothes and carry water for drinkin
and cooking.

MACKAY MAN MAKES
TEMPERANCE SPEECH

L. E. Dillingham;, editor of The
Mackay Miner, when in Blackfoot,
recently, in speaking of the pros
perity of Mackay, made very strong
temperance speech in Is words. The
particular expression that meant so
much has to be considered in its re-
lation to other things to take on
force and we explain accordingly.
Mackay is in Custer county, and
Custer county remained wet" until
Statewide" made it dry" Many
of the citizens of Mackay, Mr.. Dill
ingham among them, have always
advocated strict regulation of the sa-
looms and using the licenses to re-
duce the taxes. Mackay has always
boasted of its school fund and for
a long time, of its municipal govern
ment having money on interest.
When asked where they got it they
always replied with some enthusiasm
From the saloons" When anybody
suggested the advantages of Danish
ing the saloons, Mackay person
would always take on a clouded brow
and say they needed the licenses:
Now we come to Mr.. Dillingham; and
his conversation last week.
Copper is up to 20, The Empire
mine is working all the men 1t can
and has payroll of $1,000 a day.
The Reed & Davidson Is increasing
it's force and they are laying in sup
plies for big run at the Lost Pack
er. There are 500 horses hauling
freight to Loon creek and other
points up there. OF course, we have
had high hopes a good many times
before when we thought we were
on the verge of a boom, but can't
see why we shouldn't have 1t this
time. All the signs point to 1t and
with Mackay dry, we certainly ougnl
to make money this year and get
ahead some."
Note the last Is words and read
it again and tell your neighbor abou'
it.
We heard two Mackay men talking
over the wet and dry problem re-
Gently. Both had lived at Mackay
and both had spoiled much whisky
because they liked it. They said
Mackay is dry and better off for 1t
That tanglefoot is bad stuff for the
system even tho a man likes it. Each
of them said he was better off and
felt better since Mackay went dry
One of them mentioned another Mac
kay man who is looking so much bet
ter it is remarkable. He had beer
drinking so much he was getting
silly and was always ready to talh
something silly when he might nave
been talking sense. He was running
down financially and every othel
way. Whisky was bad stuff in man!
ways, but men get to connecting Will
it and they don't like to break away
Most of them have broken ava!
from it now and not being troubled
with new connection they just sta!
i broke-away.

TROOPERS ON THE TRAIL

Villa Still Makes Good his Escape
Colonel Dood with 400 troopers
fell upon a detachment of about 800
Villistas and taking them by surprise
scattered them to the four winds,
killing 80. Four Americans were
lost 1t was afterwards thought that
this party met the Americans on pur-
pose to mislead them, for they all
ran away in the opposite direction
from that taken earlier by Villa.
Again the 10th Cavalry under
Colonel Brown broke up band OF
200 bandit troops with about an
equal number of troopers, and killed
some 80 or 40, without any Ameri-
can casualties. The encounter took
place 80 miles north of Geurrero
where the first fight occurred and
yet Villa is know to have fled many
miles southwark in the mean time.

Councilman Thompson and Judge
MOlden Injured

y Monday afternoon while Council
man w. C. Thompson and Judge q.

before being rescued.
Mr.. Thompson had just purchased
the car and Mr.. Molden was aiding
him to learn to drive. The road Is
quite crooked at the approaches tc
this bridge and the heavy grade re-
quired considerable power for the
ascent. AS they swung on the bridge
Mr., Thompson lost control to the
extent that a wheel struck the side
rail and instantly 1t shot thru the
railing. The gasoline poured slowly
out of the tank upon both men al
they lay pinioned and they were ter
ribly suffocated by it. A man work
ing for Ernest Cobbley crossed tne
bridge just ahead of them to get
drink and on his return beheld the
wreck. He was unable to move tnt
car or release either of them ane
ran for help. Frank Grimmett ant
Meade Belnay, who were near by II
field responded to his call and tn
car was tipped over. Mr.. Molden''
injuries proved to be such that M
got on his feet in a few moments
but Mr.. Thompson was terrlol!
bruised about the body and head
One ear was nearly torn off and boti
eyes were bruised by the steerlns
wheel. 1t required long and vigor
Gus rubbing of his limbs to revive
him and maintain the circulation
while awaiting the arrival of th'
physician. He was taken to his hom'
west of town where he suffered IN
tensely, but was much better Thurs
