WAS A BLACKFOOT GIRL

Mrs. Harry Bennett, a former
Blackfoot lady, but now of Santa
Cruz, California, is shown by the
press Of that city to have given a
very delightful entertainment al
Hackley Hall, to the members of the
Saturday Afternoon Club of Santa
Cruz.
Besides the musical numbers and
some readings, the leading features
of the program were devoted to set
ting forth in realistic performance,
the life and courtship of an Indian
maiden, Onie, daughter of Chief
Croetus, who was in the zenith of his
power during the early settlement
of Santa Cruz.
The story of this modern Poca-
hantas, so dramatically depicted in
the city where she made her home,
and among people who knew some
thing of her family and could pick
out some of her descendants blending
the aspirations of two races, lent a
charm and fascination to the pro-
gram, seldom found in any play. The
club women of the southern city are
justly proud of Mrs. Bennett and
proud of Idaho fer having temper
arily loaned them her presence and
her fine originality.

LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATION

Early in the present session of the
Idaho legislature, bill was intro
duced to prevent the Japanese from
acquiring land in Idaho. It provid-
ed against aliens acquiring lands but
made exceptions of loan companies
taking title to lands which was made
the security for loans, and it pro-
vided that they must dispose of it
within seven years from the time of
acquiring it. 1t was aimed at the
Japanese because they have been
buying up some of the best beet lands
in the vicinity of sugar factories.
b. M. Booth, an attorney of Twin
Falls, became very active to prevent
the measure from being enacted, and
the pressure brought to bear from
the administration at Washington to
prevent our enacting any legislation
that would embarrass the nation in
its dealings and treaties with Japan
caused the state senate to reject a
bill which was about to be enacted
by practically unanimous vote.
About the middle of February
some statements were made and af-
fidavits furnished indicating that At
torney Booth had been acting as the
paid attorney of the Idaho japanese
association and that he had used un-
due influence to defeat the bill.
Booth was quoted as having boosted
of having received $4,000 for de-
feating the measure, and that he did
it by arraying one department of gov
eminent against another. A legisla-
tive investigation of the whole mat
ter left the matter in a middle, with
charges and denials, and division
of opinion as to how far a man may
go and what means he may employ
to influence the solons in their work.
Mr.. Booth was charged with saying
and doing good many things that
were very much to his discredit if
ture. but most of it was not proven
absolutely.
Mr.. Booth has a slight acquaint-
ance in Blackfoot, having been en-
ployed by stockmen to assist in the
prosecution of Alfred Lundhi last
year, charged with the murder of
a Greek named Pappas on the sheep
range.

NEW JEWELRY STORE

just when the market is in the worst
condition and by our own making.
The lesson has been Learned over and
over many times and yet only part
OF our farmers are content to wait
that other fortnight or so, to get
their product well ripened and to
have the market demanding them at
fair prices.
The issuance of the government
crop report has been one of the many
misleading factors in the marketing
OF potatoes. The government re-
ports are not made up from reliable
sources as many suppose, but by I'M
paid persons scattered about the
country who are furnished with gov
eminent franked envelopes and are
urged to send in something at about
certain times, and this they do. AS
they are doing it without compensa-
ton many of them take little if any
time to investigate. but by asking
few persons they happen to meet,
they get an approximation of certain
farms as to acreage of each kind of
crop and then proceed to fill in the
blanks in a hap-hazard way. On
much information of this kind, the
government crop reports are made
up, and year after year they are
shown to be wrong and misleading,
yet the work goes on.
The railroad companies make a
more searching investigation than
does the government, and then by
deducting the shipments from the
total estimate as the shipments are
made they furnish a better basis for
taking account of supply and de-
mand.

POTATOES THE SAME
PRICE AS ORANGES

For as long as we can ordinarily
remember potatoes have occupied
the seat of the humble in the rank
ing of foods, a sort of satisfying
make-shift representing so much nu-
triton, and handy for filling the
stomach comfortably. Their lowly
price, we now realize, was the cause
of their nondescriptness. Now that
they sell on level with oranges, at
$500 for 80 pounds, and being seen
eating 'spuds" at a hotel is equal
in effect to flashing a diamond ring
or 25c cigar, now that the hotels
charge extra for them, as they do
for grapefruit, and now that you can
pay your way about any eastern city
with basket of tubers, that casual
homely phrase, pass the spuds" will
be pronounced in hushed. defiant
tones, and used less often too.

MODERN BARBER SHOP
REMOVES TO BRIDGE

Paul Smith, proprietor, and his re-
tainers folded up their razors, pulled
down the curtains of the Modern
barber shop, toop up their chairs and
departed to Bridge street over Sun
day, and this week opened up in
small temporary quarters opposite
the Brown-Eldredge furniture store,
in the Dore property. Paul is plan
ming to have fine fancy shop in the
new hotel building if the same
reaches completion within a reason
able time. For the present the shop
looks comfortable, has three chars
and plenty of mirrors. There is room
for number of persons in it when
Paul is out to lunch.

SEVEN-POUND SON

Elmer G. Taylor, clerk in the Muir
phey Cigar store, on South Main
street greeted all customers today
with smile which was dazzling and
his cheerful countenance beamed on
all, as he announced in a voice which
even drew the attention of the pool
fiends from their game that it was
the first child, a boy and weighed
seven pounds. The new conner ar
rived last night at the family resid-
ence, 142 North Garfield, and mother
and child are reported as doing
nicely.-Pocatello Tribune.

WIND PLAYS HAVOC
WITH PLATE GLASS

Two crates of valuable plate glass
in large pieces which were to be
used in the store fronts Of the new
Eccles building blew over Sunday
afternoon from their resting place
to the sidewalk and were smashed
into waste. Besides few of the
larger fragments most of $1,000
worth of glass was hauled out to
the dumping grounds. F. ]. Fullmer,
Of the Builders Supply company Of
Pocatello, came up Monday to take
measurements and telegraph an
order for enough glass to replace
what was destroyed, which he esti-
mates will amount to near $1,000.
