SHELLEY
Fourth at Shelley

The big celebration last Friday
the Fourth Of July, was very sue
cessful 1t was the biggest celebra-
ton ever held in Shelley. In the
morning an elaborate program was
given in the Virginia theatre One
OF the numbers on the program of
the morning was very good speech
on the present conditions of recon-
struction after the great war by Hon.
Harry Holden of Idaho Falls.
Statutes were fred at day-break
A big banquet was given free to
all returned soldiers in the high
school gymnasium at noon. Not as
many soldiers turned out as were
expected.
In the afternoon things started off
with a big ball game between the
leans and the fats, this was one of
the biggest events of the day, in fact
1t was the most amusing. The leans
were too much for the fats, beating
them three or four scores to one.
Following the fats and leans ball
game, was the game between the
Blackfoot and Shelley regular teams.
Shelley's team was altogether too
much for Blackfoot. The score end
ing to 20 in favor of the home
boys. For some reason the Blackfoot
hitters could not find our pitcher,
and our boys got hit after hit of the
Blackfoot twirler.
After the Blackfoot and Shelley
game the general amusements
started consisting Of races and pull
ing contests. These were all carried
out very successfully and the crowd
in general took very much interest
in them.
In the evening the Virginia theatre
put on very good show entitled
''The Woman Thou Gavest Me-" This
was an execeptionly good picture and
many hundred people saw it. In the
Ensign hall the Hansen orchestra
played for one of the biggest dances
ever held in Shelley. A very large
crowd was in attendance, and tho
the hall was too crowded for dane
ing, everybody had good time just
the same. The Shelley band accom-
panied by a number Of Blackfoot
musicians furnished some good selec-
lions during the day.
Thus ended the best Fourth of
July celebration ever held in Shell
ley. Probably the largest number of
people ever witnessed in town was
here for the Fourth, people came
from Idaho Falls, Blackfoot and all
aeighboring towns.

Musicians Slow in
Organizing New Band

The matter of the organization of
an Eighth Regiment band in this
city is not receiving enthusiastic
support from the musicians of Har-
risburg. according to Regimental
Headquarters, Eighth Infantry. Eff
forts have been made to interest
former members of the band and
other musicians in the organization n,
but for some reason the activities of
men interested in forming the new
band have not been given much en-
couragement. The matter is now in
the hands of the higher officers of
the Guard and in the event that a
desire for the location of the band
in this city is not made within the
next few days, the offer of the city
of Reading that it's band, already
organized and functioning, be taken
into the service intact as represent
ing the regiment, will be accepted,
according to information received
from an official source.

on Situation
By Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 31.- After pre-
pairing the way for beginning the in
vestigation into the bituminous coal
industry, the Presidents commission
to-day adjourned it's sessions. Rem
brandt Peale, representing the opera
tors and John P. White. representing
the miners, left for their homes to
spend the holidays, but Henry M Rob-

manned to guide the preliminary
work.
The staff of assistants already had
began assembling statistical data for
use in the industry, but public hear
ings will not begin until January 2.
Asks Costs Sheets
Tentatively the commission has de-
cided not to assemble it's facts by the
process of calling coal miners and
coal operators in person to testify at
hearings and it also has decided not
to visit the principal coal mining CEN
ters. Instead it will send out formal
inquiries to representative coal min
ing concerns in all the districts or the
United States asking for cost sheets
covering operations in 1913 These
will be analyzed with the assistance
of the Federal Trade Commission and
other governmental bodies and min
ing engineers.
When this data has all been as
sembled, the representatives of the
miners and of the operators in each
field will be called in to present their
arguments in open hearings. The
central competitive district will lie
the first field to be dealt with, but
the other fields over the country will
he dealt with in like manner, so that
the commissions decision will be
made in the light of a national, rath-
er than a sectional study of the facts.
Commissioners Peale and White will
return Immediately after New Years
10 continue their handling of the de-
tails with Mr.. Robinson.
