Take a Lesson in
Base Ball Betting

The sorry fans who sent their
money into some other fellows
pocket Sunday afternoon because
they lacked faith in their home team
will tell you that it is always good
plan to support your team if there
is a ghost of a show. For it gives
small satisfaction to home citizen
if his team wins and he backing the
visitors.
The game was the snappiest and
most entertaining of the summer.
Not until the final half of the final
inning did the scale turn from draw
to a score Of 80 in favor of Black
foot. The Cache valley all-stars be-
gan their game with such gusto
and batting craze that the fans all
said they had laid off in the Wednes-
day game so as to make a big kill
Sunday. But is was not to be. They
had to go home defeated.
A feature of the game was
Bowen's (Blackfoot) marvellous
double play. He was deep in left
field when long shot came his way.
He made run and caught it, while a
man on first tried for second. Bowen
pegged the ball straight to first and
beat the runner by about two feet
in his frantic effort to get back.
A large crowd went out to the
game and showed much life.

found most things very scarce and
stock hard to buy. However, he has
been energetic and in various east
ern markets he bought up a heavy

HEEPCR0WERS
OF IDAHO ORGANIZE
Organize to Insure More
Protection for
Industry
TAXES PAID

At meeting held Saturday night
Aug. 16 at the Bannock Hotel in Po-
catello, attended by sheep men from
the southern part of the state, an
organization was perfected under the
name of the Southern Idaho Sheep
Growers association, with head
quarters at Pocatello. The constitu-
tion adopted by the association re-
cites the objects of the associa-
tion are to further the interests OF
the sheep industry; to protect the
public range; to prevent monopolies
in hay, grain and feed; to prevent
unjust discrimination against the
sheep industry. It is claimed by the
lection in case of unjust suits and
claims against men engaged in the
shee pindustry. It is claimed by the
sheep men that the sheep industry
pays as much If not more taxes in
southern Idaho than any other
single industry, and receives less pro-
tections than any other business.
Some Of the sheep men say they have
been subjected to indiscriminate and
unjust suits in certain localities and
LllnI tuCy Al uOI SANCA nuCQONIC PAO-
lection in their range rights. They
denounce the monopoly in hay that
has been created by profiteers and be-
lieve that stock men and farmers
should be protected against exhor-
bitant prices for feed brought about
by the activities of profiteers in the
state. The association will have an
organized legal department for the
protection of it's members.
The officers elected are Peter

urer; J. A. Hibbard, secretary. All
inquiries concerning membership will

GRADING WORK BEING
COMPLETED On MANY ROADS
Sections in All Directions Where Condition Has
Been Greatly Improved by Work
of Construction Gangs
LEAVE SOME UNTIL AFTER HARVEST

The grading between Aberdeen
and Sterling is all finished but a
! short stretch east of the Giffin place
below Sterling. The section thru the
swampy ground below Sterling is
about completed. The work at
Springfield lake is completed and the
graders are two and a half miles
east of Springfield, tho there is a
stretch west of that on some rocky
ground that is not done. Mr.. Mont
gomery is'grading from the southeast
corner of the Pingree townsite, south
to the Fackrell place about a mile
and a half. Mr.. Stevens is grading
north and east from the townsite
and is working near the c. C. Ander-
son place. Josephson and Naillon
have completed about mile and a
half near Verdun beet dump and L.
s. Harvard has contract extending
from Thomas, south distance of two
miles and is working on that.
The gravel plant near the River
side-Thomas cementery will be COM
pleted and ready for work about the
last of this week. They are install
ling the machinery at the present
time.
The road connecting Riverside and
Moreland will be built thru the
fields extending straight south from
the Moreland depot. The right-of-
way has been purchased at reason
able price.
About 1900 feet Of the road ex-
tending westward from the Snake
river bridge has been crowned and
made ready for the hard top coat,
which is to be a water bound ma
cadam.
Surveying is in progress on the
road extending north from the Snake
river bridge to Groveland. and work
will begin by the middle of this week.
The approaches to the Snake river
bridge are to be of earth, topped with
cement and REINFORCED with steel.
The completion of this work is be-
ing delayed pending the arrival Of a
shipment of steel. Travel is going
over the bridge as usual.
The paving of the road between
Snake river bridge and Blackfoot is
being delayed somewhat because
COAlI dCIOIo WOulu AOC ndhO do SOOu
a price on the one job as they would
on that work combined with the
street paving in Blackfoot. The city
is not yet in a position to let the
contract, so the construction work
may be delayed another month wait
ing for the city to go thru the for
mality that will permit the council
to receive bids and sign a contract.
The price already made for this work
is around $1.75 per square yard for
bithulithic paving after the county
has laid the base. 1t is likely the
county will secure a contract for
about Is cents a square yard less
than that when the city paving can
be combined with it.
Surveyors are working on the
street connecting Blackfoot with the
crossing Of the sugar spur at the
factory and it is likely that this will
be included in the contract of
hithulithic paving.
A contract has been let to Charles
Landon & Co., of Wapello, to grade
the road mile and half south and

GOVERNMENT QUITS
ELECTRIC HEATING
No Longer to Supply Power for Heat
ing Purposes in Idaho. May Re-
!. tire From lightning Business
MINIDoKA TRACT Is AFFECTED

The government of the United
States is going out of the business
of supplying power for heating pur-
poses in Idaho, and signs are not
wanting that it may also gradually
retire from the lighting business. All
this is indicated by recent Develop
ments on the Minidoka tract, the
only section in Idaho where the gov
ernment supplies electric energy.
The only reason the federal gov
ernment ever undertook to supply
power to the individual other than
for irrigation pumping was because
1t could do so at practically no cost,
especially fer heating, as it was
thought the heating load could be
carried at a time when the power was
not needed for pumping and 1t was
regarded as being cheaper to supply
the services than to even partially
suspend operations at the plant dur
ing the winter months.
Recently meeting was held at
Burley, which with Rupert and Hey
burn, has been supplied with power
from the government reclamation
plant. Representatives Of the gov,
ernment were present and wen: over
with the Burley council the subject
of power.
Rate Increase Nearly 100 Per Cent
The reclamation officers stated
that it would be necessary to increase
the rate almost 100 per cent If there
was any way the government might
continue the service.
They also stated that it would be
necessary for Burley to build a
separate station for distribution of
the heating current. The Burley
Herald in discussing the matter says
This would cost the city $4,000
which the council says is out Of the
question"
The Burley Bulletin in comment
ing on the matter states that under
the circumstances "the towns on the
Minidoka project must look to some
sources other than the government
power plant at the Minidoka DAM"
The Jerome Bulletin in handling
the subject says: 1.-THE government
now seems to be taking the position
that it has been furnishing power at
less than cost. If this is so, then
perhaps the private corporations have
not been the conscienceless hold-ups
they have been accused of being

Looking for Feed

old residents of Lost river valley and
said this season has been the worst

gret that irrigators in that valley
had not followed the Snake river
plan of rotating their water and lend
ing it all they could to save their
neighbors and much water had gone
to waste.
Mr.. Hooper says that if we should
have hard winter like that of

men of that country. Many of them

BACK FROM EAST,
ERN BUYING TRIP
Local Merchant Observed Conditions
in the East. BOlshevik Element
Seat of Most Trouble
IN CHICAGO DURING LATE RIOTS

H. c. Tavey the buyer for the
Brown-Hart company returned the
first of last week from a month s
trip east, and took great interest in
studying conditions as he found them
in the eastern cities and states. He
says the labor problem Is getting
acute everywhere, trying to adjust
itself to the ever-changing conditions
confronting the working man. He
says that most of the unheard-of
things that are happening are the
result of agitations by the bolshevik
element playing up the absurd things
and conditions, and smothering all
things that are reasonable. That
element makes demands and then
isn't satisfied when it gets them.
While he was in Chicago the street
car men asked for a raise from 4S
cents an hour to 81 cents and got it.,
but the minority bolshevik element
called an election hurriedly, got their
own crowd out to the meeting, voted
to strike and Blocked every wheel
for four days till an investigation
was made. Then they went to work
at 81 cents.
Mr. Tavey was in Chicago at the
time OF the race riots, when the big
firms employing many women and
girls, modified all their motor trucks
and rugged up seats on them so they
could haul their women to and from
their work. 1t required all the po-
licemen in the city to control the
south side, and the city called for
volunteers to police the rest Of the
city, and citizens responded in such
numbers that police control was re-
stored in a few hours.
Mr.. Tavey thinks it will tax the
courage and good sense of the
American people to meet the agita-
tors and control them as they bob
up everywhere and in every industry
with all kinds of shrewd arguments
for paralyzing industry.
