Of the department of agriculture, the
livestock movement from these two
states has totaled 10000 cattle and
100000 sheep this summer.
The urgent problems forced by the
drought situation, Sheets said, were:
The movement Of stock. direct from
range to farms in the Northwest and
the handling of poor conditioned stock
at the St. Paul market.
No difficulty in securing pasturage
for livestock being sent from Mon

FEDERAL BUILDING
FOR BLACKFooT
Congressman Addison T. Smith Acts
Quickly ON Some
Suggestions
GETS REsULrs IN DUE TIME

This office is glad to report pro-
gress in matters Of the proposed fed
eral building for Blackfoot. Last
Saturday the appropriations commit
tee recommended that the bill ap-
propriating 100000 for such purpose
pass the house.
On December 80 the Republican
office wrote to Addison T. Smith ask
ing that he start the move for fed
eral building, and he introduced
house bill No. 1905 for 100000
on the nineth Of January. On the
fifteenth of February he wired that
it had been recommended for pas
sage.
We have canvassed the matter Of
suitable locations at Blackfoot and
find that the most acceptable place
is on the half block south and west
from the City hall. The grounds can
be obtained by sale or condemnation
and appraisement. Congratulations
are in order for Mr.. Smiths quick
work.

PUSHING THE
DUBOIS PROJECT
Judge Anderson Home From Sue
cessful Business Trip
to Washington
GOT A GOOD HEARING

Judge ]. H. Andersen arrived
home from Washington Sunday, and
reports that prospects for the Dubois
project with its extensions are bright,
He and Senator Dubois presented the
matter to Secretary Lane and re-
ceived such a hearing they were
much gratified.
Men can only get to Secretary
Lane by appointment in advance, and
they had their applications in three
days to get an engagement of fifteen
minutes. Other delegations were
lined up for their turn at the ex-
piration of the time with them, but
Mr.. Lane voluntarily extended the
time another fifteen minutes because
he was so interested he wanted the
rest of the story as it was being pre-
sented.
In conclusion he said he was glad
they had come, and that if his meas
ure asking for a hundred million for
irrigation was enacted, he would ex-
pend part of it Investigating the Du-
bois project.
Judge Andersen left the matter in
the hands Of Senator Dubois, who is
himself very much enthused over it.
His work on ordinance and coast de-
fense does not require much of his
time, and he will keep in close touch
with this undertaking. The press
bureau at Blackfoot will hereafter
keep the Senator informed of every
movement in Idaho affecting the
work, the same as was done with
Judge Andersen while he was in
charge.

MORE TROUBLE
AT THE ASYLUM
Reports Have It That q China
man Has Been Very
Badly Abused
THE PUBLIC WILL BE INFORMED

There is trouble at the Blackfooi
asylum. 1t Is reported on the streets
that a Chinaman has been mis-.
treated. It is also reported that
Byrd Trego has been spending some
time at the asylum lately and that
he knows what has been carrying on.
Editor Trego admits that he knows
a good many things and says he will
inform the public at the proper time
Referee in Bust-up-cy
There was some kind of a trial OF
hearing or investigation at the
asylum Sunday that lasted four OF
five hours. Reports have it that
Byrd Trego acted as referee, and
whatever was done was behind closed
doors. Street reports have it that
one of the asylum employees was
door-keeper and another one acted
as bailiff and constable.
The Republican reporter was un-
able to find out whether the manage
ment was Investigating the employees
or the employees were trying the
management. 1t is. said that the
members of the official board were
not present, but whether they were
called and ignored the call, or were
themselves ignored, rumor does not
state. A good many men were pres
ent, and they did not stop for noon
lunch, tho it is admitted that they
took three-minute recess late in
the day, so everybody could get a
drink-water. County Attorney
Adair was seen making a hurried
trip to the asylum at $50.

Of the farm bureau and said the

aging the roadbed across the lake

He stated that while he was road
overseer he had recommended the
expenditure of about $500 to wide

to save further damage, but nothing
had. been done and it would now re-
quire more. He says It Is the post

Utah's Roads

Utah's Roads
Our commissioners will undoubt-
edly recognize this and many other
reasons why it will be necessary for
them to investigate thoroly before
deciding upon the material with
which to build as nearly permanent
roads as possible. In justice to
themselves and the community which
they represent, they should inform
themselves as to what neighboring
states are doing in the way of build
ling for permanence. 1t is not neces-
sary that they make long and expen-
sive trips of investigation. Utah,
our sister state already has miles
and miles of county highways, built
for the heaviest agricultural and in
dustrial traffic, and will build a hun
dred or two more miles this season.
Utah has all kinds of roads built
and maintained under various con-
diti0ns, and we have no doubt but
our neighbors will gladly give us the
benefit Of their experience, should
we ask them. In fact it might be a
good and profitable idea to have our
commissioners go to Salt Lake City,
which is not far, and make personal
Investigations along this line. This
should be done at our own expense,
however, which would place them
under no obligations to any material
interests, and would afford them an
opportunity for making a fair, un-
biased investigation of those things
essential to the profitable and eco
nomic expenditure Of our funds.
Put Bingham ON Map
In closing we will say that the live,
wide-awake, thoughtful and progress
sive element of our community ia
behind our commissioners to a man,
and when the day comes upon which
the bonds will be voted, that the ma
jority vote in favor Of the measure
will be of such q nature as to con-
vince the world at large that the en-
terprise and progressiveness Of Bing-
ham county Is unexcelled.
Many at Meeting
A large number Of people promin-
ent in city and county affairs were
present at the meeting, many of
whom spoke in behalf of the move
ment, and promised their support
and assistance in bringing it to sue
cessful issue.
Salt Lake Man Spoke
w. NJ. Wilson of Salt Lake City
was called upon for some information
and suggestions pretaining to the
successful handling Of the bond cam
paign and among other things dis
cussed the methods which had proved
successful in other communities
working along similar lines.

Grocer Blames Mayor for Not
Getting Army Food.
Car Lot Shipments Would Have
Reduced Price.
OFFERED TO HANDLE GOODS
HI. L. Birmingham Would Have
Given Free Storage.
Corwine To Blame for Parcel
Post Chargesl

That Mayor Herbert J. Corwine did
not act for the best interests of the
citizens of Topeka when he failed to
make arrangements to have Topeka's
allotment of the surplus army food
shipped here in carload lots was the
charge made today ny H. T. Birming-
ham, 322 East Fifth street. That an
immense saving in transportation
charges could have been effected in
this manner is pointed out.
Birmingham declared today that
about week ago he proposed to May
or Corwine that he be allowed to han
die the surplus food here free of
charge. He agreed to store it, he said,
without cost. merely for the advertis-
ing II would give him. Birmingham is
cripple and starting here in small
way as a grocer at 1922 East Fifth
charge ten cents for delivery on every
order of SO or less. II customers
wanted TO come to the store and carry
away their goods no charge would be
made for service.
Would Have Saved Much.
The shipment of ~ pounds of one
class of goods by parcel post from st.
Louis costs s1.16 and another class
1924. he points out BY shipping the
commodities by freight in car lots, the
rate would be 3211 cents per hundred
pounds.
MT let me handle the stuff" Birming-
ham declared 'T merely offered my
services and he had a right to decline
them But why didn't he get some
one else? Why hold the public up for
this excessive parcel post rate when
these goods could be laid down here so
much cheaper The sale OF the army
surplus food is a real opportunity for
people to get something at a reason
able price. but instead OF handling it
in the proper way. the mayor takeS
| no action and the consumer has to pay
| the parcel post rate, which brings the
cost of the goods in some cases to a
higher figure than they could be
| bought at home"
Get or 10 Cars
Birmingham figured roughly that
| Topeka's share of the food would
pound cars. The rate from St. Louis
would be 52h cents per hundred. or
$116 a car. The ely would have 80 days,
| according to Birmingham, to pay the
government for the food. In this
manner, persons who cannot afford to
buy fun cases of goods as is required
under the present regulations could
/ buy wha hey would afford to an eff
| feet that much OF saving.
Mayor Says Nothing.
Mayor Corwine said this afternoon
| that he could make no statement rela-
| tive to the shipment of at least a part
/ Of the army food into Topeka in the
near future He said that for some
time his information, up until this
morning. was to the effect that the
government officials had changed
their minds regarding the shipment of
food to municipalities. but that now
| they had changed it again and are
ready to ship.
when do you intend to order some
| OF IL to be shipped in here for dis
| trtbution ?" he was asked.
Il cannot answer that at the present
time" he replied. II cannot make a
statement now"
