LATEST ADDITION TO
BLACKFOOT

1t may sound rather far-fetched
but the latest addition to Blackfoot
for the coming autumn is likely. to
be the East Butte section. 1t will
no. be an addition to the municipal
corporation but to the town CONNER
cially.
Out in the desert 80 and 40 miles
from town are three buttes, known
as the Big Butte, the Eastern Butte
and the Middle Butte. And the fin
est government land. lying unclaimed
| in the valley is in that section.
Farms already established are yield
ing crops, and settlers have been out
moving and raking bunch-grass hay
In the open country after the herds
of sheep passed on to the mountains
These settlers are about rs miles
from Blackfoot, 35 from Idaho Falls
and 80 from Shelley, and it will be
interesting to see which town will
receive their trade. Blackfoot is
closest and by blowing the spine off
of what is known as the Hog Back
north of Moreland the road can be
shortened several miles. Shelley is
close, but there is some sand. and
Shelley people may remove or cover
the sand. Idaho Falls is farther
away, but they are better hustlers.
II Blackfoot were keen it would help
get the settlers, it would shorten the
road and it would command the
trade of that rich, half-discovered
bonanza in dry farming that is soon
to be discovered and withdrawn
from market" by being appropriated.

says she is always glad to get back
to the claim with its great stiffness
and Its unaccountable fascination
She feels greater joy in riding to-
ward the claim than in riding toward
the town. There is another, a
genuine Northern Beauty" who
goes out and helps her husband pile
sage brush on their homestead and
looks forward with a deep yearning
to the day when they will have a
well and cold water to drink; a wind
mill to pump it, and a great open
cement reservoir in which to let the
sun warm the water that . is to be
drawn off on the garden to join with
the warm soil about the roots of
fruits and vegetables in the hot days
of July and August. She says that
since they can raise garden of some
kind without water, it is plain that
with the aid of we'll thru these
long, sunny days and the warm
nights of the desert, there is nothing
in the line of hardy fruits and veget-
ables which they will not have in
their cellar in autumn.
We know man who says he kill
ed 26 rattle snakes the first year on
his claim, 10 the next and 2 the
third year, and says that at this rate
of Improvement his locality ought to
be pretty good place to live in a
few years. We know a man and
wife who moved out from city into
the desert with their children and
for some months have been declar-
ing that it is so much nicer than
the city it seems like a jolly vaca-
ton, even tho the wind blows and
the dust flies, and they have to haul
water.
1t is the old spirit of the Oregon
Trail, and these people are subduing
the worst section of the country over
which the trail passed in Idaho and
Oregon, the Snake river desert,
dreaded then and defied now. It
should be subject of congratulation
to Bingham county that it has such
characters making up great mass
of its citizenship, heroes every one.

termination.

New York.-How will "Black Jack"
Pershing tackle his big job of learn
ing all the French know of the 1917
brand of warfare and communicating
this knowledge to the American army?
That's what the generals orders to
60 to the battle front in advance of
the first United States force, which
he will later lead, really mean. He's
there to get every kink and twist Of
modern fighting into his brain and
send it along to the waves of troops
Uncle Sam is preparing to fling
against the kaiser.
Well, here's piece of Pershing's
record which shows what kind Of
stuff he is made of-that he can study
as well as fight. Back in the early
nineties, after he had spent arduous
years chasing Apaches and Sioux, he
was assigned as instructor in military
tactics at the University of Nebraska
and remained there four years.
Most young officers would have
considered this good chance to loaf,
or, at least, to take a rest. Nothing
to do but superintend the drill of the
college boys and deliver few ele-
mentary lectures.
But not so Pershing. He saw an
opportunity to put down a solid found
dalton which would some day stand
him, he thought, in good stead. He
entered and completed the course at
the university law school in addition
to his regular duties. His degree of
bachelor Of laws came at the end Of
an arduous four years, indeed.
Right after the close of the Spanish
American war Pershing's farsightetl-
ness and industry bore the natural
fruit.
Needed Trained Brains.
There was urgent need Mt Washing
ton Of clear, trained brains and tested
administrative experience to organize
the government of Americas new
colonies. The authorities looked
around for such man. Pershing had
had an excellent record in the Cuban
campaign. His habits of study, his
thoroughness and his knowledge of |
law were recognized. So he was
chosen to organize the bureau Of In

MATERIAL FOR A
SCANDAL

Considerable is being said these
days about what flag one displays
and many hard things have been said
of people who have been reported to
Have displayed the wrong colors al
the right time. Certain little riots
and near-riots have grown out of
differences Of this kind.
Out along the Mackay branch last
week an editor man and an Italian
man. both allies, were looking over
the Italians farm together and the
American editor man noticed a red
flag waving from the topmost steeple
Of his ally's chicken coop. The edi-
tor man asked what for the red flag,
and the Italian man set his mind
at rest and then some by saying:
"Oh, hava a da cloth and da
stick. Cloth da red show more
and wave da same as da white.
Coyote he like a da chicks. He
watcha da cloth and think it alive
and he wait. If he wait long enough
ay come home"

duty, little grimmer, but as kindly
at heart as ever.
Villa raided Columbus, N. NJ, killing
several Americans, and a punitive ex-
petition was decided on. Pershing led
the force that penetrated the deserts
and mountains for many hundreds Of
miles and held a slice of the turbu-
lent southern republic through many
weeks, and then he brought his hard
ened veterans back to American soil.
Men Carefully Trained.
1t is these carefully trained men
from the border, according to COM
mon understanding, who will be led
first against the Germans in France.
Pershing devoted an immense amount
of attention to drilling and instruct
ing them, and large maneuvers were
carried out before they returned.
Whens they crossed the Mexican
American line on their way out a
foreign military attache is said to
have watched them pass, and then
remarked: "They are the finest body
of troops in the worldw
This sketch does not cover all the
details of Pershing's career by any
means. He was military observer for
the United States with the army of
Kuroki in the Russo-Japanese war
and later attache at the embassy at
Tokyo, and he has had many other
valuable experiences. But enough
has been said to show just why Per-
shing was picked to 60 to France by
the powers that be in Washington
and why he should be just the man
for the post.

HEROES EVERY
IONE

Across the river west of Blackfoot
is the belt of dry country marked
on the old Biographies, "Great Snake
River Lavabeds," and on others
"Snake River Desert" By courtesy
it has since appeared on maps under
the name of Snake River Plains,
and each of these appellations is cor
rect. according to the angle from
which one views it.
But a new interest attaches to this
territory; it is being populated by
families, and wherever the home
steader has gone in western Ameri-
ca, farms, schools, churches and vii
lagos have followed and have re-
NAMED. Dry farming is with us on
the big desert and it is there to
stay. People may as well accept the
fact and help to make 1t a success
as soon as possible. Skeptics have
declared that it is not dry-farm
country and not dry-farm soil, and
that the inevitable heat of July and
August makes It too forbidding for
home-makers, but saying that and
being agreed with by others does not
change the fact that the settlers are
there, and there to stay.
Most Of them are poor and came
because they were poor. Some came
with small capital and are using it
to get as good homes as possible.
Some came with enough to start
well, and some came with health and
beauty and courage and sweet optim-
ism to inspire others less fortunate.
II you talk with them they will
admit that the crops are not yet
very good, and then they will tell
you a dozen reasons why they will
be able to maintain themselves there
and do better next year. We know

THE HONOR OF
DRAFT

When the selective draft system
begins to work this nation will see
something new under the sun. The
men called to the colors from
the unmilitary, civil ranks will step
up as readily as tho they had been
reserves waiting for orders. All the
men who have registered, except
they have clear exemptions, seem to
consider themselves contracted for
service, and they carry an air of will
ingness to pay what they owe to
their government.
The stigma of the old word Con
script is already vague. 1t is being
forgotten. All men agree that our
government has perfect right to be
at war and an equally good command
of the nations man power so far as
needed. Many of the men who reg
istered would have volunteered, not
all on the same day, but a growing
daily number of them would be en-
rolled. Avoiding this stringing out
is one of the features of the selec-
tive draft.
Principally, the spirit Of selective
draft is a universal sense of obliga-
ton. re there were resistance to the
measure certain amount Of i'll
favor would light on all drafted men.
But when they answer the call in
good cheer and enthusiasm, as we
know they will, having witnessed the
and when they begin to
mobilize by the hundreds of thou
sands, the greatest army ever as
sembled on this side of the earth,
the word "conscript' will be clothed
in honor and respect. It will be q
event. The nation will
,eel wave of warlike confidence.
In the voluntary nature of the
iraft registration and the absence Of
my feeling Of coercion attending 1t
