ENGINEERS PLAN ITO
SALVAGELUSEAlUA
Vessel May Be Raised From
Sea by Use Of
POntoOns.

LONDON, Sept at may be pos
sible to salvage the liner Lusitania,
sunk in Nay, 1915. BY a German sub
marine, according TO engineers who
have been experimenting with a new
device for raising sunken ships.
The steamship Maine. which was
sunk by gunfre from a German sub
marine, has just been brought to the
surface by the use Of pontoOns made
OF special canvas and cables. These
pontoons weigh only one ton each, but
when inflated with air have great lift
ing capacity.
It is claimed that the pontoons can
be made to lift 500 tons each and that
a battery OF them can be used on big
ships. They can be attached with
tackle to any ship which a diver can
reach.
The Lusitania lies on the south
coast Of ireland within sight Of the
shore.

STUDY TRAFFIC
RULES FOR SAFETY
Protection is Provided For ALI
And Arrests Follow
Infringements
IS VERY VALUABLE SUMMARY

Study the new traffic rules. 1t
takes only a few minutes to learn
them, and nobody can have the maxi
mum of protection unless he observes
them.
The traffic rules, the rules for
handling vehicles on the streets and
for guiding people on foot to keep
them safe from harm from the We
hicles, are not hard to understand,
and are provided for everybody's pro-
lection, and not for the purpose of
giving one person or one class an
advantage or favor over others. 1t
is merely having an understanding
to work by, to enable everybody to
go where they please with the least
danger and loss of time.
The speed limit in Blackfoot is
fifteen miles, an hour excepting at
street crossings, turning corners and
in front of school buildings or at
places where it is crowded.
Vehicles are required to move out
of congested places promptly after
loading or unloading or finishing
their errand, and to park where there
is more room, rather than in the
congested places. Allowance must
be made at all times to give right Of
way to the fire company and when
the fire gong sounds, that is due
warning to get out of the line Of
travel instantly.
When vehicles are crossing each
others path at crossing, the ve-
hicle from the right of any other
vehicle has the right of way, and
goes first.
A person under the age Of sixteen
is not allowed to drive an auto.
The horn must be sounded on ap-
rroaching each street corner or place
wnere the drivers view Is obstructed.

UNIVERSITY DEAN
STUDENT OF SCIENCE
Is At Head of the College OF
Agriculture at the State
University at Moscow
IN CHARGE OF MANY COURSES

MOSCOW, jdaho.-An editorial Of
commentator for the work of Dean
f. J. Iddings, head of the College
of Agriculture Of the University of
Idaho has appeared in northwest
agricultural journal: The same is
sue carried Dean Iddings' picture on
the cover page. The editorial says
in part:
Dean Iddings has more to do with
the development of the science and
art of farming in Idaho than any
other man in the state. His posi-
ton in the state university calls upon
him to do this, and he has measured
up to his responsibilities Hence his
portrait On the front cover page of
this issue Of The Idaho Farmer Is
eminently fitting.
Dean 1ddings is at the head of
the college of agriculture of the state
university at Moscow. As such the
director Of the state experiment sta
ton, the leader of county agents
thruout the state, as well as all the
professors and instructors and other
workers along agricultural lines,
under the supervision of the state
university are directly responsible to
him. Glance over the catalogue Of
the state university, and when you
come to the college of agriculture
you find the courses of agricultural
chemistry, agricultural engineering,
fanimal husbandry, of bacteriology,
of botany, of dairying, of farm crops,
of horticulture, of poultry husbandry,
of soils, of veterinary science, Of
zoology and entomology, as we'll as
the school of practical agriculture
and household arts-all coming
under the supervision and general
direction of Dean Tddings.
DR.. E. A. Bryan, Idaho state COM
missioner Of education, well says of
Dean Iddings, "The growth Of his
usefulness and position with the
farmers and stock growers of the
state has been rapid. He is energetic
omdest, alert, devoting Himself day
and night to his work. He has shown
rare wisdom and ability in the de-
velopment of his department, and has
declined tempting offers from other
states to remain in the service OF
Idaho and the university. In its
great work he maintains alike the
confidence of faculty, student, board
of education and the public"

SUBJECT OF LETTER
Farm Bureau Issued Letter Suggest
ing Threshermen's Charge for
Irrigated Belts
DRY LAND SCALE NOT SET

NJ, o. Monroe, county agricultural
agent, Is sending out a letter to
1900 farmers on irrigated sections in
Bingham county, recommending
charges to be made by threshermen
of Bingham county, according to a
general agreement arrived at by a
meeting of threshermen held at the
farm bureau office Saturday.
For threshing oats charge of 61a
cents is recommended, thirty-six
pounds to the bushel; for barley
7R cents per bushel, forty-eight
pounds to the bushel; for wheat S1s
cents, sixty-two pounds to make a

Where it is not profitable to

is to furnish one engineer, one sep
arator, one bagger and one water
man. The farmer is to board the.
crew. All threshermen to furnish
their own coal or fuel and two large
canvasses, one to 60 under the sacks

Blackfoot Mechanic
Called to Seattle

Wesley Lantis, the foreman in The
Republican office was called last Fri
day to go to Seattle to install a typo
graph in the office of the Post In
telligenoer.
Mr., Lantis is adept at things me-
chanical, and installed the typograph
at The Republican office last May
without help from the factory or
salesman, and has taught the others
to operate it. The Pacific coast
salesman has so much territory to
cover, and the demand for typo
graphs is increasing so that he ar
ranged to call on Mr.. Lantis when he
had to make installations in two
places at once. Mr.. Lantis received
such a call by wire Friday morning
and left on the afternoon train.
After making the installation he
will study some printing equipment
and printing house management in
Seattle and return to Blackfoot about
the middle of this month. During
his absence ]. R. Jones takes his
place in The Republican office and
Mrs. George Thompson takes Mr..
Jones' place as foorman.

LAST LIVERY BARN
USED FOR STORAGE
Commercial Storage Plan That is in
Practice is Helpful Advant-
age to Local Merchants
TRUCKS TAKE PLACE OF TEAMS

Lawrence B. Whites new storage
warehouse, on the corner of North
Broadway and Idaho streets, has sup
planted the last of the livery barns
in Blackfoot. The installation of the
White Transfer company in the re
modelled building that was once and
for long time known as the Brick
Barn marks the final passing Of
aught that connects with livery SER
vice in Blackfoot. The young bloods
no longer hire horse and buggy for
the Sunday evening drive. They have
found a vehicle now that stands
without hitching.
Mr.. White has two floors. The
ground floor is cemented, and has an
available. storage space of 1900
square feet. Upstairs he has 5000
square feet. Trucks are also taking
the place of teams in the transfer
business. This company now has
three motor trucks and only two
teams.
Commercial storage, which means
the storing of large shipments of re-
tail goods for merchants, is an as
set to the business quality of any
city. By keeping in storage large
quantities of goods they could not
possibly put into their stores the
merchants may guard against ever
running out of an article when
freight comes by the delayed plan
Stores have runs on articles the same
as banks used to have runs on money
Banks have a protective system of
federal reserve deposits all over the
country. The storage warehouse is
the store-keeper's reserve bank. By
ordering in large lots he saves some
money and acts as his own whole
saler.
All goods in such a warehouse are
kept constantly insured against loss
by form of blanket insurance, thus
relieving the merchant of that
hazard.
Mr.. White has embarked on a
promising scale of very useful SER
vice. To make use of it is mark Of
the city.

Our Own Comment

Ten years ago Blackfoot had two
big nurseries that were building up
an extensive trade and good reputa-
tions. Many other towns in Idaho
were boasting Of new nurseries that
were growing and helping to supply
trees, flowers and shrubs to make
nicer homes at smaller cost.
The State of Idaho began passing
bug laws" to make sure that no
diseased nursery stock should be
bought, sold, shipped In or out or
left growing within the state. They
made the law so drastic that it was
almost impossible to move nursery
stock without holding it up and un-
packing it for inspection and with all
these expenses and delays, nursery
stock died in transit or became too
expensive a luxury for people to
gamble with, the nurseries went out
Of business, people almost quit ship
ping it in from other states, and our
development was set back genera
ton. Two nurseries at Blackfoot
went out of business and plowed up
and grubbed out stock that was
worth fortunes, but for our over
regulations, and both the public and
the individuals have lost by an i'm
practical and foolish effort to usher
in the millennium.
We think that buying machinery
for public use is very much like max
ing and enforcing those bug laws in
handling nursery goods.
