THANKS TO THE.
BOY SCOUTS

The Blackfoot men thank the local
boy scouts. Boys want to be doing
something, and they want to do as
men do. The boy scout idea is
based on this theory and it gives the
boys chance to exercise and de-
velop their natural talents and
powers.
The first of this week the business
houses wanted somebody to take
charge of the matter of providing
fireworks for the young folks, and
all the men were busy. Somebody ar
ranged for three or, four boy scouts
to 60 out with a subscription list
and get $1.00 from each firm and
office in town to pay for the fire.
works. 1t required great deal OF
time and careful work, and the boy
scouts took up the task and turned
in the long lists Of firms and their
accompanying dollars. The work
was nicely done, the records were
complete and the money all in the
sacks. II any were not seen or found
they will yet be seen, for none will
be neglected.
This was good chance for the
boys to shoulder a public burden and
they did it nicely. There will be
other tasks for them to do, and the
men will not forget that they have
pals and helpers in the boy scouts
There is a comradeship coming be-
tween the men of the community and
the boys of the community.

At the hour when the services were
to begin no Indians had arrived at
the church and We editor was full OF
anxiety. Ten minutes after the SER
| vcies began a fine delegation Of
Indians arrived and took their places
in the church. All the arrange
ments were completed for taking the
much desired historic photographs,
but because the Indians >and xwhito
men had not entered the church
mingling together that part of the
photograph failed and we. editor was
finally informed that the minister
from New York did not approve of
any commercial enterprise being con-
Quoted on Sunday, and would not
stand for having the photographs
taken because they might be COM
mercialized-they might be bought
and sold. Editor number two ar
ranged for the photographer to stay
until the meeting was dismissed and
then try to get some photographs as
the congregation came out. He told
the photographer to set his instru-
ment, off on the church ground and
then If the church people could stop
him from getting pictures of things
that were happening on the ground,
they were welcome. So the photog-
Tapher waited. He was not prepared
to take snap shots, so the photo
graphs he got were nearly worthless.
A fine delegation Of the Mormon
people was given front seats in the
church at the right. The New York
minister devoted part of his morning
to the task Of explaining why the

charm and pep into it than we had
this year, and your conduct will

Two Routes to Follow
There are two roads by which
people can get to the picnic grounds
at the Ferry butte. Leaving Black
foot, take the Pocatello road about
five miles and turn to the right about
half mile north Of Gibson, then GO
west to the butte and then a little
north and west to the grounds by the
river.
The Better Road
The other road leads down be-
tween the rivers via Stevens lane,
cross the Blackfoot river, 60 south
ward about mile and half to the
first cross roads, turn down the
canal, keeping on the right bank and
follow the road paralleling the river,
keeping the one that keeps closest
to the river, being careful not to
turn off to the right on he stub
roads that go into the fields or to
camps or to farms along the river
bank. The road via Stevens is
much shorter than the other, has
less dust, some water and mud and
is said to be. as good as the longer
one.
The big doings begin at 10 o'clock
in the morning, and there will be
foot races for all, high jumps, long
kicks, quick reaches, wide smiles and
everything to make gay time.

Nothing he could do was sufficient to
get them into their regalia and into
the dance tent. By sun down, most
of the visitors who had stayed for
indian dances, left town in dis
gust. AS soon as the sun went down
the Indians put on their finest attire
and from then on until midnight the
camp was uprorious with all the
different brands of dances.
Early Sunday morning people of
the town were out looking for the
several train loads of Epworth
leaguers, but all the sidings were
empty. When the morning train
came in one Methodist minister got
off on his way from New York to
Seattle. He was keeping his date
to deliver that Methodist sermon
The failure of the Epworth league
excursion trains to come as expected
was never explained, altho diligent
inquiries were pressed upon the local
so much correspondence with the
management of the trains and their
routing. When one member of the
committee finally asked him to ex-
hibit some of this correspondence for
the satisfaction of the committee, the
minister became very much insulted
and strobe away.
Editor number two had succeeded
in getting the Indians in a pretty
good humor and before the church
bells rang the Indian dances were
again in full swing. Ye editor ex.
hausted his diplomacy in getting
them to stop their dancing and go to
church without giving any offence.

one up and the owner usually says
that he will put it up himself il he
will just leave it. That poster US
ually gets into the waste basket
direct, or IL it is put up it is jerked
down and destroyed soon afterwards.
The result is that the advertising
matter is largely wasted. The ad-
vertisements that were placed in the
newspapers attracted considerable
attention and good many people
gathered for the event.
Editor number one, who was ap-
pointed to manage the Indian affairs
called some Of the Indians together
for consultation, dickered with them
| offered to pay them for participating
in the celebration and left them with
the understanding that he would
raise about $1,000 to give to the
Indians, who responded and took
part in the grand jubilee. These
Indians went out over the reservation
and passed the word among the
others, that they we're to have $1,000
for celebrating at BlackfootI and
that a large part of this was to be
/
at the Indian encampment. After
all the engagements had been made
by the Indians, the committeeman
learned that the superintendent of
Indian affairs was planning to. take
all the money for his end of the
game, and that left them nothing for
the various other expenses. They
finally came to an understanding and
told him that he could have $50 or
$50 with which to buy meat and a
load of cord wood for use at the en-
campment and for a load of hay to
feed the Indian ponies. When the
Indians were informed of the new ar
rangements they were not pleased
and declined to attend at all.
Editor number two, incharge Of
the advertising, had already spread
the announcement about the big
Indian parade and Indian encamp-
ment, war dances and all the rest.
The local minister had been put
in charge of the task of arranging for
the Epworth league excursionists to
be routed this way and he also made
arrangements for distinguished
Methodist minister to stop off here
over Sunday and deliver Metho-
dist sermon, taking for his subject
the influence of that first Methodist
sermon of seventy-five years before.
Part of the population of the
Blackfoot country were of the Nor
mon faith, and it was desirable that
all worshipers should come together
in a celebration. The Mormons
joined in the plans and it was ar
ranged that the sermon at the
Methodist church on the Sunday
morning, July 5, should be attended

THE NORTH AND THE COLORED
MAN.

(Fort Wayne, Ind, Journal Gazette)
There is something which sheds
illumination on our northern hypoc-
risy, regarding our fairness to the
colored people, in the fact that seri-
Gus race troubles are feared--in the
north. Please take note that these
serious race troubles are feared-in
the north. And Carl Ackerman, the
famous correspondent, in explaining
why, presents several reasons as fol-
lows:
1. The influx of negro laborers
from the South during the war which
resulted in the overcrowding of COL
ored districts.
2. Lack of proper housing facilities
and the antagnonism of white citizens
to an extension Of the negro neigh
borhood."
3. The general policy CT negro Ia

borers, especially those from the
South, to arm themselves and prepare
for the day when they fear they will
be attacked and nassacred.
4. Unscrupulous city politicians
who, because CT the negro vote, hesl-
tate to do anything toward adjusting
any disagreements between white and
black neighbors.
And so we, who have been SO IN
disnant over occasional mobs in the
South, usually following attacks on
women, are ready to mob colored peo-
pie because they want to work. Dear
me. how strange-from we people of
the north. One might almost fancy
that there is a touch of hypocrisy in
our blood. The colored man has
right to work. He has to work or
starve. He has a right to the protec
ton of our laws. And it is remark
able that he seems to have better
protection in his economic rights in
the South than in the north. The
fact is that northern politicians, twin
brothers of the carpet-baggers, the
most Infamous breed ever developed
in America, are only interested in the
colored mans right to vote. Some
day the colored man will realize
something of this.
