Sheep Men Suffer
Losses From Storms

n A good many bands of sheep were
caught in the storm and cold snap
on the Snake river plains Of early
December and there were serious
losses. Reports have it that several
herders lost their lives, but reports
are not yet confirmed.
The focks of William Hanna,
Charlie Lafever and some others
have arrived at the feeding grounds
on Lost river, and losses are serious
but not so heavy as at first supposed.
They were without feed for several
days during the extreme cold and
many of the animals succumbed to
the cold. 1t required heroic efforts
with teams, trucks and autos to get
feed to the flocks in time to save
them. The men worked continu-
ously for several days and most of
the nights, working their way thru
the deep snow to the herds, and de-
livered baled hay and shelled corn
to them. After feeding them, they
would start on the return trip, trail
ing the flock after the vehicles and
horses.

w. D. Trego Passed
Thru Blackfoot

Last Thursday afternoon w. D.
Trego and family passed thru
Blackfoot on their way from their
home at Gleichen, Alberta, to Phoe-
nix, Ariz. to spend the winter.
Mr.. Trego was resident of Bing-
ham county for about twenty years
and moved to Canada about twelve
years ago. He is farming on large
scale and is also interested in line
of grain elevators extending thru
the provinces of Alberta and Sas-
katchewan. He was one of the
active workers in organizing the
United farmers of Alberta into unit
of about $1,000 farms, and is vice.
president and member of the board
of directors and has been for a num-
Der of years. He says he wants to
stop at Blackfoot on his way north
in the spring and see what we are
making of this county, and especially
note what we are getting for our
road bond money in the territory he
helped to. break the trails thru.

Teachers Favor
Rising Standards

Mrs. Grace Faulconer recently at
tended a meeting Of the executive
board of the Triangle Teachers as
sociation at Pocatello, at which the
organization was completed and
some general resolutions made up
for presentation at the state meeting
of teachers at Boise next week.
The three districts making up the
Triangle association are Idaho Falls,
and the upper Snake river valley;
Pocatello, and the lower Snake river
valley and the southeast corner of
the state; Twin Falls, and the south
ern part of the state. OF this organ
ization Mrs. Faulconer is secretary.
The resolutions recommend that
salaries and living quarters should
be studied; that some work in pro-
fessional advancement should be
given in connection with school work
for all persons who are interested,
and declare opposition to breaking
teaching contracts or going on
strike; that the law against the use
of tobacco and cigarettes by minors
be more carefully enforced; that the
standards of teachers be raised. The
association favors a greater care in
the selection of school texts.
AS a general policy the teachers
belonging to this organization want
to get closer to the people Of their
communities.

BLACKFOOT SHOULD
ERECT A BUILDING
Designed Especially for
Use of Profes-
sional Men
A DRAWING CARD

The professional men of Blackfoot
could do great thing for them
selves and for the community by
putting their capital and credit to-
gether to erect a building In which
they could all have their offices.
We suggest that the doctors take the
lead in the matter and interest
such other professional men as they
can. When they have consolidated
all their capital and made arrange
ments to use their credit to reason
able limit, then the rest of the COM
munity should spend enough more
capital to complete the undertaking,
on the stock company plan.
They should erect a good sized.
fire proof building, four or five
stories high and all the doctors Of
every kind whatsoever should have
their offices on the same floor or as
close together as is practical and
there should be one reception room
that should be central for all of
them and their several offices should
open into the reception room. One
attendant and one person operating
a telephone exchange could take care
of all calls and callers.
There are several kinds Of pro-
fessional men that could be grouped
together around one reception room
and for the medical doctors there
might be one reception room and for
the chiropractors and osteopaths an
other and as the Importance Of the
town and their business increased
there could be readjustment that
might seem advisable.
When the town has a place to ac-
comodate professional men more
professional men will come. At
present we have no specialist for the
nose and throat; no specialist for the
ear, no nerve specialist. With all
these professional men grouped to-
gether and other specialists at
tracted from time to time, with all of
them housed in modern Offices and
all of them enjoying the advantages
of good offices, a good reception
room with attendant and yet low
operating expense they might all do
better than they do and certainly
could enjoy advantages that they do
not now have.
People coming in to be treated,
and especially the sick, the halt and
the lame, find 1t very difficult to
travel around the town, climbing
stairs and hunting in dark halls for
physicians and surgeons and other
doctors who may be in and who may
be out and no one able to tell when
they will return. People seeking
consultation are often Informed by
the doctor consulted that he is not
specialist in that line, but that some
certain other person in town is bet
ter with that kind of cases. If they
were all assembled in one building
people could 60 to that building and
know that from the one reception

THE CONFERENCE
AT P0CATELL0
Combination of, Live
Stock Sales and
Seed Show
JANUARY IL TO 16

The joint agricultural conference
of Idaho is~a fixed annual institution
1t is held for the purpose of per-
mitting all the various agricultural
interests of the state to meet to-
-gether once a year to thrash out
problems pertaining to the, welfare
6f the industry as a whole. This
year there will be eight different or
ganizations participating. Pocatello
the gate city Of Idaho, is playing
host. It's citizens, realizing the
great part that live stock and agri-
culture in general is playing in the
development of the state, have con-
tributed literally to bear the ex-
pense of holding a tive-day joint
session. Pocatello will make you
welcome and will send you away in
structed and entertained. The dis
cussions are open to the public. You
no matter where you live, are urged
to attend. There will be speakers of
national reputation. The great live
stock sales will permit you to select
choice individuals either for founda-
tion stock or for additions to your
herd. The seed show will give you
a glimpse of the great industry now
fourishing in Idaho and each and
every one of the conferences will en-
tighten you on some problem of
everyday farm life-especially that
which pertains to the profitable
handling and disposition Of your pro-
ducts. Come, Pocatello and all
Idaho want you.

year was too low, but the county
agent said that the men who were
asking for higher wages were not
real working men, but agitators. The
men who gave the most satisfaction
in their work were men who &C
cepted the scale and were seeking
for steady employment and made no
complaints. The others, no matter
how the scale was, the agitators
would go about seeking to cause a
disturbance and stir up dissatisfac-
tion.
Representative Lewis Robbins of
Moreland advocated paying different
prices in different parts of the sea-
son, ranging from about $4,000 per
month in winter to $4,000 in irri-
eating time. The rest of the house
did not seem to be interested in that
plan. Mr.. Corey advocated revising
the scale occasionally thruout the
season. Mr.. Manwaring said it was
great help to dismiss the schools
for two weeks in the fall for beet and
potato harvest. Mr.. Dye said he
carried his plan further than that,
and planted only such crops as he
and his own family could take care
of properly thruout the season. The
subject was left open to be dealth
with further by the committee.
The report of the treasurer, M. M.
Farmer, was read and approved. 1t
showed some $500 or $500 cash in
the treasury. :
A report by Mrs. A.. J. Snyder, on
home economics, showed that the
women of the county have not yet
been organized and that until they
are organized or until there are a
few clubs organized they can not get
speakers to come and address them
regarding the work. Mrs. Snyder
was very much in favor of making
the farm homes as good as the city
homes, SO that the young folks, in
seeking the best, would not have to
60 from the farm to the town. Her
slogan was: Make the farm homes
in Bingham county the best in
America She read from current
editorial in the Salt Lake Tribune
that showed a census of the farm
homes of some states and. counties.
1t showed that eighty-eight out of
every 100 farmers had automobiles
and only eight out of every 100 had
bath tub. Mrs Snyder is willing
that they shall keep their automo-
biles, but she wants them to make
their houses modern and be as
strong for bath tubs as they are for
automobiles. The same report
showed that 81 per cent of the water
used in the houses of that district
was carried in bucket seventy-one
feet thru the kitchen to some part
of the house. She wants the farmers
of Bingham county to lay pipes that
shall do all of this carrying.
Mrs. Snyder said the Domestic
Science club of Springfield has been
great help to the women of that
locality thru all the years since early
settlement there. The men have
been very loyal to the club women
and have made it possible for them
to continue the club work and enjoy
the social features of it. When it
was hard for the women to attend
the meeting the men would take care
Of the children and leave the women
free for their club work. Some
times the men would take the child
rem with. them to the field and have
them ride on the plow or the moving
machine or do whatever was neces-
