Chief Tyhee and His
Tribesmen in Salt Lake

If there are no rooms left when
the big Rotary Victory convention
opens in Salt Lake, June 16, the
visitors, maybe, can put up with
Chief Tyhee of the Bannock Indian
tribe from Idaho.
They will be encamped on the
grounds of L. D. S. university, just
across from the temple, a stones
throw from the Hotel Utah, and ION
the road to the capitol"
Many wigwams will shelter Chief
Tyhee and his tribe. In his private
tepee will be room for few guests
at least, and the chief is hospitable-
for q small crow" he might hand
out a dog sandwich.
Nearly 100 "redskins,'' will come
down to Salt Lake from Fort Hall
Indian reservation to contribute color
to the big convention and spirit to
Ogden's big Wild West show to be
staged at the fair grounds.
The Indians are the contribution
of the four Rotary clubs of Idaho
Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Twin Falls
and Boise. These clubs will be we'll

BARNUM AN
OPTTMIST

When P. T. Barnum was organic
ing his greatest show on earth
he was probably the most noted
booster we had in America. He was
the first man to assemble big me-
nagerie representing animal life
brought from all parts of the earth,
and on one occasion, when he was
trying to get a white elephant from
India, his representative communi-
Gated to him that he was unable to
get the elephant. The natives con-
sidered it a sacred animal and the
priest would not consent to>part with
it.
Barnum sent the representative
another $4,000 and told him to
bring the priest along.
Barnum's example for construc-
tive organization and optimism has
probably affected characters and ca
reers of more successful men in
America in the last half century than
and other man besides Theodore
Roosevelt.

WATER SHORTAGE
IN JACKSON LAKE
State Commissioner of Reclamation
Reports Deficiency Of Nearly
100000 Acre Feet
SOUTHERN IDAHO IMPERILED

All irrigated districts in southern
Idaho which take water from the
AXE river are threatened with a
water. shortage this season because
of the light snowfall last winter in
the mountains of western Wyoming,
according to w. G. Swendsen, state
commissioner of reclamation, who
Tuesday issued a warning.
May 80 the Jackson lake reservoir
contained but $4,000 acre feet OF
-ater, as against normal supply OF
100000 acre feet-a shortage OF
more than 100000 acre feet, or
enough to irrigate approximately
100000 acres of land.
Snow Harvest Short
The headgates at the lake have
been closed for some time, the rec
lamation' engineer says, in a letter
sent out to water users in the Snake
river valley, but since there is little
r no snow melting in the upper
country above the lake, not much
water is coming down, and due to
the light snowfall in the mountains
ing the past winter not much
water can be expected to enter the
reservoir this season. Ordinarily the
mountains in western Wyoming are
filled with snow, even at this season,
and much water is caught turnout
the early part of the summer.
Swendsen Issues Warning
Mr.. Swendsen in his warning to
the water users said: ''In order that
the minimum amount of injury may
result to crops, it is highly important
that the greatest economy be exer-
cised in the use of water during this
season, and that nothing in excess
of the actual requirements be de-
livered."
If the water shortage becomes
acute, farmers on the federal gov
ernment's project at Minidoka and
settlers on the Twin Falls North
and South tracts would suffer most,
since both tracts are almost wholly
dependent upon storage waters in
the Jackson Lake reservoir.
West of Hagermann the farmers
living on tracts tributary to the
Snake will receive their usual head
of water, and those living in the
Idaho Falls country will get their
usual supply, because Of old water
rights which they hold.

1T STILL HELD GOOD

George AIDE was talking about the
high cost of living at Palm Beach.
He said:
while Palm Beach barber was
shaving me one day, I asked him If
he knew the significance of the red
and white striped pole outside his
shop.
"I do, SIR the barber answered,
That pole dates from the days when
BARRIERS were also surgeons. It means
that the barber bleeds his custom
ers.'
$50 saying, the man handed me a
check for IS cents.
"'Well, well!' said L, 'Sixty-flve
cents for shave, Ell? Whatever
you do my friend, don't take down
your pole.'"

TELL THE
WORLD

There are still pioneers lin the
west, doing pioneering. They are
acting as advance guards of that sure
prosperity that comes to any rich
territory in the world, most especi.
ally comes to such places in the
United States.
In the eastern and mid-western
parts of the United States many for
tunes have been made and many are
the wealthy communities settled to
a just enjoyment of their success.
In those communities it is found that
business expansion depends on ad-
vertising. Strong newspapers have
grown up with the country to tell
is story to the world, and grown
with the cooperation that makes
business increase.
The newspaper has two stories:
news, and advertising. Without news
the people would. remain strangers
to each other, and without advertis-
ing the customers would be strangers
to the merchants.
Bingham county is no different.
only it is young in the ways of the
world. A regular advertiser is a
pioneer in this western country, and
il you but notice, he goes UP and
up. There are many reasons for his
success, and one OF them is the abil-
ity to see that If one. would do bust
ness with the people one must tell
them about it before hand, steadily
and truthfully.
A newspaper tells the story of its
community, week by week; it is an
organ ready at all times to cooperate
with the men who are making the
community. 1t has a service to sell
to the live ones.
Cooperation is great subject,
the study of which takes one back
to the fable of the bundle of sticks
that is so much harder to break than
a single one. Wherever men have
co-operated in the real sense they
have accomplished something in the
world, in war, in politics or in BUSH
ness. The newspaper is the pulse
of the community because it shows
now much cooperation there is in
the community. C. X.

TO ORGANIZE
COMMERCIAL CLUB

The business and professional men
of Blackfoot are receiving an invita-.
ton to meet at the court house We'd
nesday evening and make of them.
selves a commercial body to serve
all best community interests.
1t has been more and more evident
to everybody since peace arrived and
prosperity picked up that town OF
Blackfoot's size and promise Is
lost baby in the tall woods without
any commercial body representing its
business interests in a country that
is full of commercial clubs. They
have been saying, I'VE ought to have
q commercial club" whenever some
proposition came. up requiring a
community. handling.
In these days of aggression, when
men are planning and putting over
big projects everywhere, combining
influences and building for golden
future, it often happens that town
is called upon to play the host. The
men of that town have to get to-
gether. 1t is much easier II they
are organized.
A pronounced movement Of set
tiers to western lands, which is now
on, brings with it dozens of inquiries
from strangers, aimed at commercial
clubs in western towns. In Black
foot there is nobody to receive and
attend to those inquiries.
Holidays come and the men OF the
town have to 60 in together on some
plan of closing business and cele-
brating; but it is not easy to call
them together, and there is nobody
to do it, because, las you might say,
it is a matter of everybody's business,
and therefor nobOdy's. Blackfoot
has up to this time utterly failed
to do thing toward celebrating In
dependence day, the first Fourth of
July since the closing of successful
war! There happened to be no ma
chinery to put in motion.
These are days of many conven-
lions. Cooperation is gaining head
way in every human activity. Black
foot could land some of them, but
it would require commercial club.
Conventions do not come at the bid
ding of individuals.
Therefore, surely it has seemed to
many a business man, when he
thought of these things, that Black
foot should have a commercial club.
II SO, he will be there Wednesday
evening.

STUDY YOUR
MARKETS

The time of year will soon be at
hand when the farmer will have
something to sell-the first crop OF
hay is nearly ready to cut; grain
will follow the hay and the first
is on full blast.
Just now it'seems to be the proper
time to give some thought of pre-
pairing these crops for market-we
can learn much f-,ssa che merchant
about prepari;.f things for sale. Last
yea. aalring the war the government
compelled us to grade our potatoes
to a standard grade before the in
spectors would pass them for ship
ment on the government railroads.
The reason for this very severe pO-
tato grading was to prevent hauling
worthless potatoes to market,
thereby wasting the railroad energy
which was needed to win the war.
Potatoes we're fair price as long
as the grading continued, because
the farmer did not have to pay
freight on a lot of potatoes he should
ave fed to the hogs; again he saved
money when he sorted them himself
instead of paying some commission
company in Cnicago to do the sorting
for him.
His first gain was on the hog feed;
the second was on the freight and
then he saved the price Of sorting
them in chicago. That in itself
should be enough to make every
thrifty farmer study his markets
and prepare his produce for deliv-
cry in such way that it will COM
mand better price and give him
a better credit with the buyers in
the market SO that when they see
his products coming they will not
be afraid to bid up and give him a
better price than the average-yes,
farm products will sell on a quality
basis.
Men, who feed stock here in this
valley, have observed that some
farmers do not sell their hay twice
to the same man. The stock feeders
seem to think there is a reason for
this; let's see what it is.
The stock feeder is a hard man
to do business with; he always seems
to have money; he gives the boys
there is nothing else to do; he pays
his bills promptly and gives us great
swads Of money all in lump sum
when he buys our hay. But he is
a funny fellow, for every once in
awhile he says, "Never again" He
sometimes says that in reference to
a hay stack when he cuts down thru
it to find that it is full of weeds,
sweet clover, thistles and over-ripe
hay that has grown until it is so
coarse and tough that the stock just
pick it over and tramp on it, growing
thin all the while. The government
tests show that under ordinary con-
ditions hay settles certain percent
age after being stacked, but the
records from which this data was
taken did not say anything about
the settling of weeds or thistles or
sweet clover or hay that was nearly
seed, it just said hay for feeding
purposes.
The stock feeder, he is funny
fellow; he knew us last year; he
knows us this year, we want him
to know us next year when he starts
out to buy hay. Maybe when he
finds out that we do know how to
put up hay and give him good &C
commodations for feeding his stock,
maybe when he finds that we are
good people to do business with and
are reliable and don't sell him weeds
for hay. he might Just figure not
