IDAHO FALLS BOOSTERS
DEMONSTRATE ENTHUSIASM

With the usual annual Bonneville
county round up locked off the pro-
gram calendar for this year, the Ida
no Falls Commercial club boosters
have an exuberant amount of pep
and are giving vent to their enthus-
iasm by the state auto show, which
will take place at Idaho Falls, Oc-
tober 2 to 5, inclusive, under the
direction of the Idaho State Automo-
bile Dealers association. Practically
every automobile dealer in the state
will be represented and the commit
tees are making all efforts to have
this the greatest show of its kind
ever held in the inter-omuntain west.
Special entertainments are arranged
for each afternoon and evening.
By October the Browning Auto
garage at Idaho Falls, which some
accredit as the largest, most COM
plete garage in the state, will be
completed, and a dedication of the
consolidation will be held during the
auto show.

Idaho Falls people motored to Black
foot, Pocatello and vicinity as an

POTATO FLOUR FACTORY

Carl Feldhusen, manager for the
Idaho Food Products company of
Idaho Falls, was in Blackfoot recent
ly, and stated that construction work
is in progress erecting factory in
the southwestern part of town for
making potato -four in two grades;
one for mixing with wheat -four for
making bread and the other a
coarser product for stock food.
Mr.. Feldusen stated that they use
the good potatoes for making first
grade products, and that the best
bread in the world is made with a
mixture of IS per cent wheat -four
and S per cent potato -four, tho it
may be used quantities Of three to
one. There are about 1000 fac
tories in Germany making these
products, using the culls for stock
food, and thus utilizing the entire
produce of the potato CROP
Mr.. Feldusen says the factory will
be in operation about the first of No
vember, and they hope to make such
a demonstration as will show the
great economic advantage of estab-
fishing other factories in the valley.
He went out to look at the canning
factory to see If it could be utilized.

MICH COW SALE

F. T. Carlson, of the Nebraska
colony coming to this valley several
years ago, is soon to conduct a mich
cow auction sale at his ranch, in
the Darlington-Mackay lane. Mr..
Carlson has been one of the foremost
dairymen in the Lost river section
and has been eminently successful in
the occupation, having one of the
finest herds of dairy animals that
could be found anywhere. The well
known breed of Holstein cows were
used exclusively by Mr.. Carlson and
the herd had the admiration of peo-
pie of this section for long time.
The sale is to be conducted by Col.
E. M. Kennedy and on account of
the high grade of animals to be sold
it is expected that the sale will be
one of the most important ever held
on Lost river. The date of the sale
is set for Tuesday, September IS, be-
ginning at II a. M, promptly. A free
lunch is to be served.-Mackay

THE PRICE OF HAY

Nothing of Importance has come
to hand this week regarding the
price of hay, and the Springfield par
ties who announced that they wanted
to buy 10000 tons at SIS ton are
still reported absent.
We have asked the man who gave
us the announcement to come forth
with an explanation of what he
meant by starting something that he
could not OR did not finish.
P. G. Felsted returned the last
of the week from a trip to Teton
basin and reports world OF crops
and hay everywhere. People were
holding their hay at SIS and nobody
was buying any.
1t is reported that flockmasters in
Utah are planning to winter their
sheep in the deserts of Utah and Ne
vada where the feed is unusually
good They are buying hay for
emergency purposes where they can
get it at SO a ton, and farmers are
selling freely at that price in Mil
lard county.
= The Central Meat Market of
BlackfOot has purchased the crop OF
A. Hofer and sons, who live couple
of miles below Blackfoot, between
the rivers. The purchase price was
81 delivered at the slaughter
house, delivery being considered
worth dollar.
The mysterious man who was buy
ing hay at Springfield at SIS a ton
has been explained to US as having
bargained for hay of J. R. Cushman
and William P. Judge, and talked
with some others who hesitated
about selling at that price. He said
his name was Kelley, and that he
was buying for Salt Lake parties,
who had army contracts and were
also supplying some mining COM
panies. He was offering to pay one
third or one-ha1f cash, and was to
see some parties later in the. day
to receive their decision. Mr.. Cush-
man drove him to Pingree and left
him negotiating for hay there, and
nobody seems to have seen him
since. Perhaps he got wire from
home, but nobody claims to be hold
ing any of his money -

heavily upon the aged inventor.

HAD BROKEN INTO CHARLES

EARLY HOURS OF EVENING.

An attempt to rob the safe OF Chas.
Geiger's grocery on La Sale street
was frustrated by Night Officer Kill
gcre last evening at l0:30 O'Clock.
when he discovered a window had
been broken in the rear of the store.
The robbers were unsuccessful in
their work and were probably fright
ened away when the night officer ap-
peared upon the scene.
The robbery bore evidence of be-
ing the work of one familiar with the
place. A pane Of glass was smashed
bolt lifted and access was then OBJ
tanned to the store
Once inside of the grocery the
thieves started tampering with the
safe in the Office. The combination
was moved from where 1t had been
originally set, but the strong box
failed to yield to the efforts OF the
thieves. No attempt was made to
blow the safe.
Being unsuccessful in their attempt
to secure any money, the robbers did
not take any groceries, as none were
reported missing from the stock. The
register doors were not tampered
with
Officer kilgOre. in making his
rounds thru the alley off La Sale
street, noticed the broken glass on the
ground and Immediately went inside

Mr. Geiger was notified but could not
find that anything had been taken
from the store.
Chief OF Police Zurich in discussing
the robbery this morning. stated that
ne felt confident the robbery was com

one who was familiar with the place.
Since no plunder was secured It Ii
doubtful If an investigation into the
robbery will be pushed.

RUNAWAY BOY TO Be

TWELVE YEAR OLD LAD FOUND
IN CHICAGO AFTER TAKING
FRENCH LEAVE FROM HOME Is
OCCASION FOR INQUIRY IN
OTTAWA.

II did not take the father OF twelve
year old Marcelus Spayer long TO de-
eide what should be done with him,
after he was caught in Chicago where
he spent the past two weeks follow
ing his own fancies. This morning
Joseph Spayer, the paternal parent,
appeared in Judge Mayos court and
asked that Marcelus be declared de-
linquent and that his sons future be
placed in the hands of the state.
Young Spayer was arrested yester-
day in Chicago. The police found
him roaming the streets and he final
" confessed his home was in La
Sale. His father was sent for and
he went TO Chicago to get the youth.
This morning Mr. Spayer asked that
the lad be committed in some on OF
the institutions for delinquents.
According to the elder Spayer, Mar
celus has a penchant for running away
and being gone for several days. and
occasionally for weeks at time.
When he Is in La Sale he spends his
nights roaming the streets and is be-
yond parental control. Besides these
forms OF insubordination, the boy as
sociates with bad company and has
been accused of petty thefts.
The mother is dead and when Mr..
Spayer is at his work there is no one
to watch after Marcelua and keep him
from evil. The fathers determination
to prosecute his son probably will re-
suit in his being sent to St Charles,
where the state maintains a school FOR
just such boys as he.
