MACKAY FOLKS STRANDED

Since the blockade on the Mackay
line shut off all home-going Makayites
over a week ago their number was
increased day by day until over loo
were waiting here for train. When
the flags appeared and the band came
out Wednesday in honor of the ma
tional guard boys and the general
spirit of wakefulness was abroad the
Mckay folks caught fire and made
up a parade to meet the trains; and
they showed a big banner ON which
was written the story of their strand
ed plight.
Wednesday evening the city fathers
invited these Mackay friends to make
use of the V. l. S. rooms, permission
of the ladies having been secured.
They made lark of the evening,
cooking supper, playing games and
amused ach other till II o'clock. The
men put up the change and the wo-
men made fudge.
Some of the visitors by Wednesday
were feeling the pinch of want. Hav-
ing planned to be at home week
before they were not all so well heel
ed as the circumstances almost re-
quired. Their friends and the Black
foot business men subscribed fund
to keep them from suffering, the
mayor was chief relief officer.
Mackay Refugees Thank BlackfoOters
The following document was made
up by the Mackay-bound visitors
few days before leaving, to show that
they appreciated the few small kind
nesses done them while here.
"Wel the undersigned, Mackay-
branch-snow bound citizens hereby
wish to express our sincere thanks to

One-Piece Crankshaf

The crankshaft is drop-forged from
heat treated carbon steel in a single
piece. Balancing weights are integral
with the shaft. The shaft is III inches
in diameter. Sturdy, but not heavy.
Rigid. Strong. 1t is balanced while
rotating at fast rate of speed, on a
unique machine. This helps you to I'M
.derstand why the Chalmers motor is
so smooth.

MACKAY LINE OPENED

The first train to make Mackay
from Blackfoot in almost two weeks
left Sunday afternoon at about 4
o'clock, and arrived in Mackay al
7.30; 1t carried heavy load of pas
sengers and two baggage cars. Com
ing back in the night with the &C
cumulated travellers who wanted out
of Mackay they found the bridge over
Lost river afire and spent half hour
putting it out. If they had not come
to that point just in time the bridge
would probably have burned out and
caused them another delay.

The letter from Mr.. Scholtz was
read and in 1t he made about the
same charges as were published In
the last issue of this paper in the cir.
cular which he sent out.
S. ]. Donaldson, of Pocatello, then
spoke to the people and made some
humorous remarks in regard to the
hog and the prevention of cholera
turnout the state. He stated that he
could prove that the farmers had
been saved $1,000,000 by the advice
of w. G. Scholtz on the time to
market their produce. He said that
Scholtz had received his information
in regard to farm markets direct
from their office but he did not know
that Scholtz wanted that told. He
roasted the commercial club Of Idaho
Falls on the stand they took in re-
gard to the protest against the
freight rate matter from Minneapolis
to Texas points which was against
the farmers of Idaho, as Texas was
their main market from here. He
gave Scholtz the credit of securing
the indictments against the Is men
who were in the big creamery trust,
when others had failed. He had pre-
pared a petition for the farmers to
sign if they approved, and when put
to vote, received the endorsement
of the farmers and was passed thru
the audience for the signatures of
the men present Another meeting
was called for Saturday of this week
when it is expected that w. G..
Scholtz will be present to address the
people.
The following resolutions were
adopted:

Connecting Rods-Srong, Light

Connecting rods are designed to
secure rigidity and lightness. They
are made of special carbon steel. Are
unusually strong and dependable. Each
rod weighs only Al ounces. Yet they
will withstand greater stress and strain
than some connecting rods weighing
almost twice as much. -.

Here are three parts out of thousands

makes them of extraordinary materials
with extraordinary care and thor

Petition
Gov. Moses Alexander,
Boise, dIahO.

Dear Sir: Confident that you
would like to know the sentiment of
the farmers in this state in the mat
ter of the dismissal of Mr.. w. G..
Scholtz as director of farm markets
of the State of Idaho, we, the actual
tillers of the soil, hereby wish to re-
specially tender this as a protest
against your action in this matter
we having been more than satisfied
with the efforts and accomplishments
of Mr.. Scholtz while in that position.
In fact, during the brief time that
he was organizing and directing the
department, much more was accomp-
lished than any of us really expected
would be during that short period.
In regard to Mr.. Scholtz's successor
with whom many of your petitioners
are not acquainted, and against
WON many OF your petitioners are
not acquainted, and against whom
we would say nothing, except that
we consider the subject of marketing
science compared with which pro-
duction is relatively simple, a science
with which few men in this state
are we'll versed from practical
standpoint, and, inasmuch as Mr.
Scholtz has gained our confidence,
we are disappointed and feel deeply
the loss in being forced to change
to man whose reputation along this
particular subject is unknown to the
farmers in general thruout the state.
We further hereby declare, that if
conditions remain at the present
status, we propose, by means of
membership fees, to organize a pri-
vate marketing bureau with Mr..
Scholtz as the director.
