Ballard as apostle of the Mormon
church, the annual general con-
ference of the church, postponed
from it customary dates in April
opened it's sessions Sunday at 10 a.
m. in Salt Lake City. Unprecedented
interest is attached to the conference
this year on account of this being
the first conference to be presided
over by President Grant, and. also
from the fact that the time of year
is better adapted to the attendance
of farmers, many of whom are
usually in the midst Of their spring
planting in April.
The general conference dates are
fixed for June 1 to inclusive. Fol

MANY ACRES OPEN

Southern Idaho Land
MANY GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES

Inquiries are coming faster every
week from everywhere about land
open to entry in southeastern Idaho.
Four car loads of ex-soldiers from
Nebraska and Ohio have already
come here to look at land near
Pioneer and Arco.
West of Blackfoot between ten and
twenty miles there is belt of rich
dry land, arid at present. and extend

hills, that contains tens Of thousands
of acres open to homestead entry.

up on this land. Information as to
this credit can be had at the land
office in Blackfoot. HgeEn @
The remarkable feature about this
land is that if present reclamation
projects go thru, namely the Dubois
project, much of it will get water,
and with water it is as rich and
fertile as any soil in the region and
there is some very expensive soil

MASONS APPOINT
BUILDING BOARD
Payment For Lots On South Broad
way is First Matter to be
Given Attention
WORK ON BUILDING PLANS SOON

Since their incorporation for finan-
cial arrangements towards building a
Masonic temple in BlackfoOt lodge
has formed working board of
trustees, who shall for one year be
in charge of plans and their execu-
ton. The trustees are George F.
Gagon, James B. Brokaw, e. M. Ken
nedy, e. T. Peck, Ernest Pearson,
Frank Bergman and Howard
Henderson.
The first act under incorporation
that will be undertaken by the Ma
sons is to finish payments on their
lots on South Broadway, where the
proposed temple is to stand. At the
same time members are voluntarily
signing up for blocks of stock in the
corporation, first payment to be made
in July. More than sixty names are
on the list.
Indications are that plans for the
building will be decided on before
next month, and construction COM
mence within the year at least.

GRADUATION EXER-
CISES OF SCHOOLS
Thirty-Nine Students From High
School and Seventy Five From
Eighth Grades Promoted
SPLENDID SPIRIT MANIFESTED

The program heretofore published
was carried out without hitch, and
with great credit to the class. Each
part was well rendered and packed
house showed their appreciation. Be-
sides the parts rendered by class
members, Mrs. w. d. Pack, who with
her violin charmed the audience with
one of her matchless renditions. The
diplomas were handed the three
classes by Miss Anna Doyle whose
splendid service in the schools for
many years makes her familiar with
the details of it's work, as her state
ments showed.
The address to the graduates by
DR.. Southwick was one of those fine,
sensible talks long to be remembered
and appreciated. The theme was
Constructive Criticism" as opposed
to destructive criticism and their ap-
plication. He defined it at the out
set by speaking of the child destroy
ing toy, while another child sat
building a sand fort. And again by
he example of one person listening
to an inspiring address and being en-
thused and filled with the desire for
achievement, while another listener
charged her memory only with the
words the speaker had pronounced
differently from what she was ac-
customed to hearing. Again he de-
fined constructive thought and action
as opposed to destructive, by the ex-
ample Of Columbus, following the
light of reason that beckoned west
ward in search of new world, fol-
lowing all the light he had till he saw
more light and was drawn on to sue
cess; and in contrast with that, the
sages of his time who listened to
his appeals and rehearsed the rea-
sons why his theories could not be
true.
From all his examples and counsel
he drove home the lesson Of follow
ing the light we have, and so doing
will lead the vision to more light;
acting on every sincere belief pre-
pares the way to a comprehension oil
the greater truths beyond, and leads
ones efforts in the way of achieve.
ment Of substantial things.
A very gratifying feature Of the
graduating exercises was the fre.
quent expressions of class members
showing their appreciation of the
school advantages showered upon
them by the public in furnishing the
schools and fine equipment to work
with. There seemed none of the
thought sometimes cropping out sug
gesting, "We are the whole thing
the youthful wonders; behold us'
On the contrary there was the sobel
attitude expressing, 1T takes oul
best efforts to be worthy Of the trair
Of opportunities you nave brought t.
us, and we have yet to repay our OBJ
legations to our generous home
folks."

LOST RIVER FOLKS
VISIT BLACKFOOT
Take Delight in Seeing
Blackfoot Country
Developing Fast
TIMES WERE HARD

Ben Pearson and wife of Moore
and their daughter, Mrs. Charlie
Dawson of Mackay, came to Black
foot Friday to visit Mrs. Haney and
others Of Blackfoot. They drove thru
in their car and planned to visit also
at Idaho Fails and other places on
the line.
Mr.. Pearson is one Of the pioneers
of Lost river, and in the days OF
Cleveland's second administration
tried keeping the wolf from the
door by operating the stage line from
Blackfoot to Challis and Custer. He
and his wife gave their personal at
tention to one of the stations, Mrs.
Pearson doing the cooking for pas
sengers and stage drivers. Times
were pretty hard, and many men
were coming over the line busted 4
One Of these fellows hoofing 1t over
the road asked Mrs. Pearson If he
could get something to eat, and she
replied, We'll, we have cleared the
dinner away but there is bread and
milk and butter left. You are well
come to that, and / will set some out
for YOU"
The hungry man surpried her by
saying, Him! I can get bread and
milk anywhere" It was then that
Mr.. Pearson took hand in the re-
marks, and the fellow received
marching orders.
On another occasion when a man
came thru packing his blankets .
he approached Mr.. Pearson with a
decent sort of request for food, and
was informed that Mrs. Pearson
would set him something to eat.
While waiting for the meal to be
prepared, the visitor went out to the
stable and engaged in conversation
with the stock-tender. AS we said,
times were hard, and the stock
tender was working for $40 month
and found, and glad to get it. Mr..
Pearson happened to walk that way
just in time to hear the tramp say
he was from Park City, and that he
would not work for any blankety,
blank for $40 month. They were
paying "a day in Park City, and he
was going where they paid a decent
wage.
Pearson walked up close to the
tramp and said, $50 you are Park
City man are you? And you get 81
day when you work? And you
are walkin' thru the country now
packin your blankets? And bum
min your meals because you ale
broke? And you are trying to creed
discomfort with my helper, and ap-
plying epithets to the man that's hav-
ing dinner cooked for you? I'll bet
this man working at $40 a month has
money in his pockets, and he would
not stoop to your kind of conduct if
he was starvin to DEATH" AT this
moment the stable man drew a
