BLACKFOOT BEATS
CHICAGO AND COAST
Blackfoot Mechanic Made Machine
Work After Failure of Chicago
and San Francisco Experts
BLACKFOoT is A GARDEN SPOT

Wesley Lantis, the foreman of The
Republican office, writes from Seattle
that the upper Snake river valley
looks more like a garden spot than
anything he saw on the way to Port
land. He remarks the small hay
stacks in all the meadows down the
line, and parched looks of every
thing. Contrasted with the big ricks
of hay here it makes home look in
viting.
Blackfoot has joke on Chicago
and San Francisco now. When Lantis
was called to Seattle, he thought it
was to install a typograph, but when
he arrived there he found that a
Chicago expert had installed a ma
chine and it had never worked just
right. An expert went up from San
Francisco to set it right, and after he
had exhausted his ingenuity he wired
for Mr.. Lantis to come from Black
foot. He arrived there Sunday
morning and on Tuesday afternoon
he had the machine operating per-
fectly and everybody around the Of
flee of The Post Intelligencer wear
ing fresh smile over the new mar
vel. The management said that If
that was the way tie thing turned
out the work they wanted another
one installed as soon as their turn
came to get one from the factory.

@as The Same Evening

The fire department was called out
about 7.S0 Tuesday evening to put
out blaze in the home of Mrs.
Davis. The fire was in the kitchen
and had been extinguished by the
timesthe department arrived.
Mrs. Davis mad beef washing and
had a fire in the kitchen stove.
While she was outside the heat from

which was carried on by the wall
paper She rushed in thinking that
Gne OF the children was in there and
threw some buckets OF water ON the
fire and extinguished 1t. In doing
this she got badly burned about the

A FINE BAND FOR
BLACKFOOT SOON
Members Striving Hard to Earn
Money With Which to Purchase
n Their Choice Instruments
NO PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION YET

About twenty boys ranging from
the ages of nine to eighteen years,
have bought instruments and joined
the band under the leadership of
Prof. Harmon. Howard Campbell
made trip to Nampa to visit his
father and labor with him to get
some help on the purchase of his in
strument. A number of the other
boys are still working on their
finances. The subscriptions to be
taken among the business houses
have not been attended to because
under the present arrangements, all
matters that call for money, either
by gift or thru advertising handled
by nOn-residents, must first be ap-
proved by the commercial club or
business houses will not respond.
This arrangement has been made to
guard against what is commonly
spoken of as fake advertising and
giving to unworthy causes or those
that ought to be handled otherwise
than by public subscriptions.
Hereafter requests for money, or
advertising not handled by the local
printers, will be accompanied by an
acknowledgment in writing by G.. s..
Beebe as chairman of that copmittee
for the club, or business houses will
decline to consider them. If they
are worthy they can get this paper,
and If not the local folks will be pro-
tected by following this plan.
The matter Of subscribing money
for the band will doubtless be ap-
proved as soon as it can be presented
and then you will have chance to
do your bit.

WHAT WILL CITIZENS SAY
!. ABOUT PAVING CITY STREETS
Considering the Endorsement of Blackfoot's
.7.s5 Paving Plans. Tueaday Last Day T.
4 .5. e. ,5@s.5 1. A n for Making Protests
FINE IMPROVEMENTS. In THE MAKING

they became accustomed to the paw
ing laid in the business section three
years ago. H9aafa} !:
Should Have Done More
b Within few months after the
other paving was finished, and soon
sitter the equipment was moved away
people on East Main and Shilling
and some of these cross streets con-
meeting the two, circulated petition
asking the city to pave those parts Of
the town and assess the cost against
their property, but the contractors
were engaged in other cities and
could not come back to do this work
excepting at higher cost than the
other had been done at. They ad-
vised Blackfoot to wait until they
could combine more pavement work
with that, and have all done at once.
Some opposition arose from persons
who thought our entrance into the
war sufficient reason to stop such i'm
provements, and now the question is
again before the people, with the op-
portunity to get reasonable bids for
the whole amount, but with the GER
tainty that If only the road to Snake
river bridge is paved, it will cost a
higher price per yard. II the city
decided not to do any paving now,
the county commissioners declara-
tion that they would not pave the
road to theh bridge excepting on con-
dftion that the city did it's share,
would bring the matter down ato
leaving the new grade to tramp down
and blow full of holes as it has al
ways done before, and the wrath
of travellers in that direction would
kindle higher than ever. They would
give the city their left-handed bless
ing as long as they remembered it.
When the road bond election was
pending, that piece of road was men,
toned almost every time anybody
discussed the bond question, and it
seemed everybody's wish that it
should be made high, wide and sub
stantial. A bargain has been made
by which that shall be done right
away and finished in time for the
fall trade if nobody drops monkey

Tuesday the twelfth Of August is
an important date In deciding the
affairs of the City Of Blackfoot.a It
Is the date fixsd fof nnsking and
hearing protests against the new,
street paving Il any protests are to
be made. IL ftf.s.i 1
It is no ordinary matter, this de-
cision Of what to do. whether to pave
now or postpone 1t for while. There
are complications to be considered,
that run into the business Of the
town and country both, and If the
people of the town make a mistake
in this matter, the people Of the
country will feel as if they had had
a needle run into them and left
there. es att gsgF a aeG
Blackfoot proposes to lay paving
on East Main, Shilling and some cross
or connecting streets between the
two. It proposes to join forces with.
the county and pave to Snake river
bridge west of town, and the terms
of the division of costs have been
happily arranged in an emergency
that made it easy for the city and
satisfactory to the country. What the
people want is good road and a
substantial one over that stretch that
for more than generation has been
a source of grief because it would
not stay made in winter nor sum-
mer. At this time they are putting
it in form and propose Jointly to fix
it so it will stay put.
The matter has been discussed
practically all winter and spring,
with nobody opposing the undertake
ing, and under agreement of the city
and county officers, the work of
grading has been going on while the
legal steps are being taken to put on
the hard surface.
Bids Will Be Received
If there is no objection arising
from the citizens, the bids will be,
invited for paving not only the con-
nections with the county road to the
Snake river bridge, but also the
larger contract of the streets where
the traffic is heavy, and where peo-
pie have been wanting it ever since

PETITION GOVERNOR FOR RES
PlTE FOR CLIFFORD ALLEN.
tBy Frank Howard Hallion. }

James w. Poe, II. G. Erwin and
Frank Howard Hallion are n commit
tee named by Hood Temple a. Nj. &c.
Zion Church to submit to Governor
Wcstmorcland Davis petition in an
attempt to stay the electrocution of
Clifford Allen. From what the Planet
can gather it is the opinion of this
committee that inasmuch as Allen
did not have sufficient funds to emp
poy proper and sufficient counsel
that his case was not pushed with
all the diligence that could be sum-
moncd.
Efforts are being made to raise add
tonal money to help in securing ad-
ditional counsel for this unfortunate
colorcd boy, boy he is for he is only
19ycars old and has not had the adj
vantage OF al the training that
boys of this age usually have. Allen
was convicted on circumstantial evi
dence largely evolved on the testi-
mony of a man who is yet to be tried
in connection with this same murder
Mrs. Sam Bicoff.
Developments at this trial which
is to come after Allen will have been
electrocuted, if the Governor does
not interfere, may shed some new
light on the question as to whether
or not all the blame can be placed
on Allen. If it develops that another
man is guilty Of the crime for which
this man has been electrocuted, JUS
, ticc in Old Virginia will have mis-
carried and no power Of man could
right the wrong that had been per
! petrated. Allen will have been dead
i several days.
