DEATH OF r. l.. ARCHER

R. L. Archer died at his home
at Blackfoot on Monday evening
Oct. 20, after short illness He
had been suffering at times from
heart trouble since the summeH OF
1916, when he spent sometimA at
Salt Lake under special treatment,
but came home somewhat improved
On Monday afternoon his case took
on serious aspects, and the end came
at $50.
Deaceased was in his forty-fourth
year. having been born on the fif-
teenth of November, 1874. He was
native of Indiana, but Idaho re-
ceived the benefit of his most fruit
full years He leaves a family con-
sisting of wife and three children
Robert Ardle, Georgia L., and Lewis
Graham Archer. He had also two
sisters Mrs. Thomas Phillips and
Mrs. George Hartman, both of Mis-
soula, Mont.
The funeral will be conducted
from the Methodist church this Fri
day afternoon at 2 o'clock, and
burial will be made at the Grove
City cemetery.
Mr.. Archer was one of Blackfoot's
best business men, but his modesty
and quiet demeanor were such that
one had to know him and deal with
him to be aware of his real worth.
He came here in 1904 and has been
connected with the Idaho Lumber
company and other commercial en-
terprises, enjoying the esteem and
confidence of his associates. He pos
sessed the rare quality of being able
to see things from the other mans
and his analysis Of a
business problem was usually quick,
correct and so eminently fair that
his kindly statement regarding II
seemed to have come from a big
brother.
Mr.. Archer was as much at home
in social and fraternal matters as
he was in business, and enjoyed the
religious side of life. He was a
member of the Woodman of the
World and the Methodist church,
and had been for many years mem
ber of the school board as we'll as
clerk of the board, and he now
leaves a chair vacant on the city
council.
Blackfoot has lost many men of
whom it was said, "He will be
and in this instance it will
be doubly true because of the sweet
disposition and sincerity coupled

There was a time when a person
could telephone a message to the

suit receiving them that way. Some
body misunderstood a message and
orders were given to require the

payment can be made afterwards.
The company is human enough to do
a little credit business with parties
back in the country, but they do not
expect to carry the account longer
than it takes the patron to make

would be mean who would neglect
making prompt payment after being
accommodated with instant commun-
