INTERSTATE RIDER DIFFERS

D. A. Jenkins, the carpenter and
contractor who sometimes rides a
fast motorcycle, called our office
this week and stated that he wanted
to reply to the article in last weeks
paper opposing the interstate motor
cycle races, or rather, opposing the
speed on account of the attendant
danger.
Mr.. Jenkins says it is impossible
to have races without speed, and the
riders understand when they enter
the race, that it is up to them to
take the attendant risks The race
of last summer was we'll arranged
and would have been grand sue
cess but for the limits placed on the
time of arrival at the various places,
and that this feature of 1t was a
keen disappointment to the public
and the riders. He has talked with
a good many of them recently, and
they are all in favor Of running a
real race the coming spring, with
the understanding that there Is a
purse at Blackfoot for the man who
gets there first. He says the races
held before brought some of the
best riders in the world here, and
injected much interest into the I'M
provement of the Interstate road.
Mr.. Jenkins refers to the former
accidents as resulting from lack or
understanding by the public, of the
time of passing, and to amateur rid
ers getting in who did not know the
road and still tried to make speed.
It is the intention of the Motorcycle
club to charge an entry fee next
time, make it free for all who pay
the fee but the theory is that no
body will pay and enter unless he
is a good rider and has a chance TO
win.
It is the intention of some OF the
local sports to organize the press an
nouncements along the way and the
policing of towns and villages ana
to so inform the public along the
line that they will know within
few minutes of the time the racers
will pass each place, and have the
roads absolutely cleared for the rush.
It is expected that the interest to
be developed in this kind OF race
will result in every stone being re-
moved from the 204 miles of road,
and every rut being filled and lamp
ed without cent of expense. Black
foot is going to start something
when it starts the Interstate races
this year.

BY SPRING.
a. FIELD AND STERLING

Objections have been raised by
Springfield and Sterling men to hav-
ing their locality spoken of as "The
Aberdeen District" Last week the
agricultural extension department Of
the state sent out photographic re-
ports of the convention of seed grow
ers, and all the territory along the
Aberdeen branch railroad was spok-
en- of as the Aberdeen district. It
was said that the Aberdeen district
took all the prizes as usual for pure
alfalfa seed of highest quality, and
all the common folk know it means
Springfield and Sterling, but there
are lot of unintelligent people scat
tered around the world who are
liable to take the statement literally
and get off at Aberdeen to try to buy
pure high grade alfalfa seed, when
as matter of fact it has seldom
shown that it had any. 1t could
have it is liable to have and it may
yet beat the world for pure seed,
but until it has actually done it, we
must watch ourselves and say Spring
field and Sterling when we mean
Springfield and Sterling. This paper
published the report just as it came
to us. Sorry.
People are too much the creatures
of habit in some things they do.
There are a good many town lots in
a certain town or two down the line
and there are taxes delinquent piling
up against them till the county attor-
ney is about to bring suit to fore
close. We have heard it spoken per-
haps 20 times the past two weeks,
and every one who mentions them
speaks of Them as being at Aberdeen.
Tt is purely a matter Of habit. If
those fellows had named the exact
location of the delinquent town lots
it would have offset some of the
unearned reputation for pure seed,
but until people get so they say just
what they mean, poor Aberdeen will
have to take it going and coming.
