Recent Forgery
Was Interrupted
Found Check Book Containing Good
Sized Check. Caught When Pre-
sented to Bank
CASE HEARD IN PROBATE COURT

John l. Watson lost his check book
last Saturday with check in it made
payable to him for $117.22. Mr..
Watson notified the banks of his loss,
and on Monday a stranger giving his
name as Frank Beverly presented
the check for payment, with Watson s
name badly written on the back, and
his own name below it.
Payment was refused and then the
fellow went to the office of the Potato
Growers association by whom the
check was written, and demanded to
know why payment had been stopped
on it. He was informed that the en-
dorsement was a forgery, but the
stranger insisted that he had paid his
money for it and thought it ought to
be honored to make him even. He
said he got it from somebody Sat-
urday night, but he could give no
description of his man, neither did
he have the mans endorsement on
the check unless it was the name Of
Watson. He was allowed to go out
and make a hunt for the man, but
in this he was aimless and did not
seem to know what he was hunting
for. He said he had cashed the
check for some man who was smok-
ing playing pool with him.
Beverly was held until Tuesday
when he had hearing in the probate
court and was released.

DEKAY SELLS
fine RANCH.
320-Acre Tract Near
Tyhee Been Worked
Seventeen Years
BROUGHT $68,O0O.OO

F. E. DeKay has sold his 320-acre
ranch at Tyhee for $6S,00O the price
per acre being about $3.50 for irri-
gated land and $50 for the land for
which there was no water. The pur-
chasers are Young and Hubbard of
Kensas City, and they became inter-
ested in it thru their brother-in-law,
s. l.. Reece of Pocatello.
This tract of land was included in
the opening of a strip of the reserva-
ton in 1902, and thousand horse
men lined up on the city limits of Po-
catello and at McCammon to make
the race to the lands and to the land
office
There were two tracts to be opened
and those making choice of claims
south of Pocatello lined up near Nc
Cannon, while those seeking lands
north of Pocatello lined up along
the city limits on the north. Each
rider had to stay off the reservation
till IL O'Clock, and then he had to go
to his claim and stake it and get to
the land office ahead of the other
contestants for the same claim. 1t
was case of the best man winning,
or the best horse winning for his
rider
Mr.. DeKay had studied the land
and the routes till he knew the short
est line with the least sand in the
way, and he had relay of horses
along the way. His route lay thru
the flats via the Mission above Ross
Fork and he made the ride from PO-
catello to the land office at Blackfoot,
about twenty-five miles in seventy
seven minutes. His place in the line
was right by the old barn belonging
to McTongin, with hundreds of horse
men on each side. When the whistle
blew at the Pocatello shops there
was a forward movement in the
whole line, with figures here and
there taking a distinct lead. DeKay
rode his racer, Charles Lamar, a
horse that was a familiar figure on
the Blackfoot race course for many
years. On the plains above Ross
Fork the route lay across about six
miles of sand, and different riders
chose different lines across it.
DeKay got his choice of land, and
in the seventeen years that have
passed he cleared and plowed it and
took many crops off of it. When
Senator Dubois secured the federal
appropriation for building the Black
foot reservoir it solved the water
problem for the settlers on the res
ervation and they were given an op-
portunity to buy water rights. Dur
ing the past few years Mr.. DeKay
has leased his land and both he and
the renter made big blocks of money
from it.

Matters That Mean
Much
COMMITTEE OUT

After carefully preparing a cam
paign that will insure every man in
Blackfoot the opportunity to join in
the movement for stronger COM
mercial club membership committees
commenced their work Thursday
morning. The memberships call for
a payment of dues each month in
the sum Of $1.00a and they are ap-
portioned to business firms accord
ing to volume of business and num-
ber of persons employed, some firms
being allotted several memberships.
These memberships will give voting
power to members of the firms as
desired.
The full working committee which
is out to enroll members consists of
the following:
Ernest Pearson, Fred Simons, L.

Responding to an increasing de-
mand among the men of Blackfoot
for an organization which should
look after the affairs of the commun-
ity as a whole, voice it's sentiments,
deal with emergencies and lead in
celebrations, the board of governors
Of the commercial club have worked
out an elaborate membership cam
paign which when completed will put
the club ON such financial footing
as to give 1t prestige and power.
The board of governors is now
composed of c. S. Beebe, president;
j. e. Estensen, vice-president;,
George M. Jorgensen, treasurer, H.
D. MacCosham, chairmen of member

Since organizing last July the club
has been exerting no small influence
upon matters of Importance to the
city and county. 1t stopped all
rumors that the sugar factory would
close by securing the assurance of
the company's officers that it would
operate. 1t carried out a weeks
homecoming celebration for the re-
turned soldiers, sailors and marines.

should also be observed that the
beautiful Dunraven pass trip has
been added to the regular tour, max.
ing it possible to operate the cars
without back-tracking on any part
of the road and giving the tourist
a change of scene every hour of the
time spent in the automobiles.
1T is also worth noting that the
motor transportation system is much
more flexible, it being possible to
distribute cars at night to take care
of travel from points where there has
been congestion, whereas in the days
of the stage coaches it was impossible
to use horses after an ordinary days
work had been performed. 1t was
impossible to meet a deficiency of
transportation at any one point in
the park under the old system.
AS to the hauling of freight,
several big teams were used hauling
hay and oats into the upper part of
the park, but under the new system
filling stations for automobiles are
taken care of with 1000 gallon tank
car ,and 500 gallon gasoline tank
car.
"The cars of the transportation
company are equipped with chains on
the rear wheels in times of storm,
and so have been able to operate
in stormy weather without much
difficulty.
ut is pretty hard to give any ac-
curate figures regarding accidents
which would be of interest to you.
This is largely due to the fact that
most of the accidents in the park
were very minor ones and were
usually small collisions between pri-
vate cars. There were some unim-
portant collisions with the big cars
of the transportation company, but
these were comparatively few. AS
a matter of fact accidents of all kinds
have been remarkably few in num-
ber, considering the fact that over
10000 private cars went thru the
park this summer in addition to the
numerous trips of the transportation
company's automobiles. Only one of
the big cars had what might be called
serious accident, and even in that
case nobody was badly hurt.
II note you have asked for a
statement in regard to the cost of
housing automobiles in comparison
with the cost of wintering horses.
The cost of housing the cars in
winter is hardly worth considering,
because the old stage barns are used
for this purpose. The cost of hous-
ing the automobiles may therefore be
regarded as the cost of housing the
stage coaches, the very important
horse wintering charge having been
entirely eliminated by the establish
ment of the automobile service.
Cordially yours,

INTERESTING LETTER ON TRANS
PORTATION TN NATIONAL PARK
Establishment of Automobile Service Over Stage
Coaches Handles Twenty Thousand
Visitors at Great Saving of Time
COMPARE VEHICLES IN OTHER RESPECTS

The following letter dated October
25, 1919 was written by Horace M
Albright, superintendent of the Vel
lowstone park, whose office is at
Gardner, Mont. 1t is in reply to in
quiries from the editor of The Idaho
Republican regarding the relative
cost of usefulness of stages and
autos for the park service:
''The transportation company dur
ing the past season operated 101
ten-passenger automobiles and four
teen seven-passenger touring cars in
the movement of tourists thru the
park. In the course of the season
the company handled approximately
10000 people. In the days of the
stage coach-say, for instance, in
1914-approximately the same num-
ber of people were carried thru the
park in 500 two, four and six horse
vehricles, which required over 1900
head Of horses. These 500 horse
drawn vehicles and 1900 head of
horses have been replaced by the 115
cars mentioned.
1T requires about half as many
garage men and mechanics to care
for the cars as it used to take barn
men and stablemen and other en-
ployes to take care of the horses and
coaches. On the other hand, it is
necessary to pay chauffeurs twice the
wages paid to stage drivers, and
mechanics must be paid three times
as much as barnmen were paid.
Furthermore, depreciation on cars is
very much greater than it was on
either coaches or horses.
with the 101 ten-passenger cars,
however, the transportation company
was able to serve three entrances to
the park-the northern or Gardiner
entrance, the western or Yellowstone
entrance and the eastern or Cody en-
trance a daily trip was made
to Jackson Lake, south of the park.
The automobiles cover the same dis
tance in one day that the stage
teams took three and four days to
make. All of these cars run on
schedule and are able each day to
reach the various points of interest
in plenty of time to give ample op-
portunity for observing the great
natural features of the park. Take,
for instance, the trip from Mammoth
Hot Springs TO Upper Geyser basin.
This required travel of day and a
half's duration by the stage coach.
The trip is now made in the fore
noon, leaving the entire afternoon
for sightseeing about the geyser
basin. Likewise, a great deal more
time is allowed at Yellowstone lake,
Grand Canyon and Mammoth Hot
Springs by the new schedules.
Under the stage coach system ap-
three-fourths of the
travellers time was spent on the
road; now only about One-third of
his time is spent in travelling. It
