LAYERS OUT PAT
In THEIR DEFENSE

Sports Editor The Evening Journal:
Sir;-ln regard TO the articles about
the Layers-Out which you have been
publishing recently, why not stop
beating around the bush and come
right out and say "cOld feet" as that
is tho main trouble. especially in Mr..
Wintrup's case. We have never ad-
vertised ourselves as a team repre-
senting the Harlan Plant, but as Lay
ers-Out OF the Harlan Inter-Depsrtment
Twilight League. Our option on Har-
Ian Park takes effect September 18th.
so why try 20 blame us for ANYTHING
happening prior TO this time We repre-
sent a league as well organized and
probably better of financially than
either the Del-Mar or All-Wilmlngton.
and have as much right TO be recOg-
'nized as county champions as either
Penna. r. r.. or Parkside.
In my conversation with. Mr.. Whit
rup, he said he could not see how we
could claim the championship when
we had never played Saturday ball
fail to see what difference It makes
If you play Saturday or Monday bal
Not long ago your paper set up a
yell about Frankie Duncan running the
All-Wilmington League, and 1t seems
10 me that Mr.. Wintrup. and not the
league president, has been running the
Del-Msr League. You assured me at
the beginning Of the second hair that
we would get In, and told me 20 send
a formal application and the required
forfeit before the next meeting Of the
league, and we could begin at once to
make plans TO play on the first sat
urday OF the second half We did this
and then got it in the neck, thanks to
Mr.. Wintrup. One OF our players was
at the meeting and he said that the
managers OF New Castle and ElktOn
teams were willing for us TO come in
to the league. Wildel was on the fence,
but Wintrup was very much against
Il. He claimed he did not want a Har-
Ian team in the league lie was afraid
ne would get beat the second half
In my conversation with Mr. Win
trup he said we would play some Of
Payne's men and told him ] would
post a forfeit that / would not as
would play under the rules Of the
Harlan Twilight League, which bar
ell OF Payne's men.
One question Mr.. Wintrup asked me
was who ever heard OF the Layers
Outg' and in the next breath he told
me the name Of nearly every man on
my team.
wish 10 deny that am trying to
force them into series, as we have
had a game booked for September i3.
for a month or more. They only want
an excuse TO evade a series with US.
/ also want TO state that we did not
force them TO the back lots as ! told
Mr.. Reed, OF the Au-W1mington
League, that Mr.. MacConschie had told
us he was reserying Harlan Park for
the All-Wilmlngton League for Sep
tember 6. They could probably have
rented IL had they applied for It. as the
park was not rented until last night
by the Grace and Lorraine teams.

DEAN OF WOMEN
VISITED HERE
Prospects Are That Attendance at
University at Moscow vii be
Greater This Year Than Last
FORMER PUPILS WILL RETURN

Miss Permeal French, dean of the
state university at Moscow, visited
Blackfoot the first of the week in
the interest of the institution, and
met large number of young people
to discuss with them the prospects
for the coming school year. Miss
French was the guest of honor at a
reception held at the residence of DR..
c. A. Hoover on Sunday evening, and
large number of friends called.
Miss French stated that the at
tendance at the university last year
was about 600, and the prospects are
that it will be more than 500 the
coming year. A large number of the
faculty, who were engaged in the war
or in war work, have returned. and
almost all of them will resume their
former positions. The business train
ing to be carried on, with banking re-
ceiving the attention it deserves, fits
the young people for the greater re-
sponsibilities to be met in the larger
commercial development of the
country, and most of the pupils of
last year and of pre-war terms are
planning to return to finish their
work.
Miss French's fine personality is
ample assurance to parents that their
daughters will be well guided under
her management and influence.

His Good Name
Was Left Out

In our account of the epochal
council meeting of last Tuesday even
ing, when Blackfoot citizens backed
the proposed pavement bond election
two or three lines were ditched
somewhere, and the name of John G..
Brown, whose influence was heavy in
the balance in favor of the improve
ment, did not appear with his re-
ported statements. Therefor we re-
peat in full:
John G. Brown, capitalist: 81 don't
want to make a speech; l only
want to say that l want
you to pave, pave everything-pave
the alley back of my house. Zap
plause.) Already, whit only the pro-
posed paving that would pass three
lots of mine, the value of them has
increased $500. / have other lots
that the paving will not pass and
can't sell them at all. l can't under
stand how these property owners can
come here with protests against
something that is such a benefit to
them. l should think they'd hang
their heads when they went down
the street. I'm for paving, first and
last and all the improvement you can
make in Blackfoot.
E. M. Kennedy, president First
National Bank: I'm for the pave
ment. Like Mr.. Brown, I think it's
the best investment we can make. I
think we should pave now while we
can"

EXPENSES LISTED

The hot weather is past, and we
are back from our vacations ready
for work again. The V. l. s. ladies
have treated the city park cottage
and other park buildings to a much
needed coat of paint, which greatly
iNAsroves the appearance of the park.
They have installed an ele' tric
drop light in the cottage, which has
proved to be of great convenience TO
local picnic parties.
We are again indebted to Mrs.
Ernest Pearson and also to the ,Tor-
Eensen and Bybee groceries for fuel
which they have donated and de-
livered to the park cottage.

A total of $74.00 expended by the
V. l. S. this summer. We have also
provided fuel for transient auto tour
lists and it has kept us busy to do so,
as it wasalso used by campers other
than transient auto tourists.
We admit that the park has had
its uses and abuses, and in several
instances we have been imposed upon
when petty, underhanded advantage
has been taken Of our hospitality by
people trying to get something for
nothing. We have learned much
during the past summer, and we ex-
pect to trX to rectify some things
next year.
Auto tourist parks everywhere

for the next people coming in and
invariably the higher the class of
tourists the more strictly this rule is
observed voluntarily by them.
The writer makes it rule to visit
the park once every day and fire.
quently two or three times, during
the whole summer to keep in touch
with passing events and require
ments, and to converse with the
transient tourists to obtain their
viewpoint.
A large majority of tourists appre-
ciate our hospitality and express
their appreciation profusely; others
merely take it for granted. Many
unique and amusing as we'll as amaz-
ing suggestions are recorded in our
tourist record book which we GER
tainly value and will preserve.
One BILL" presumably a good
brother Elk, wrote 1T takes the wo-
men to do things. God bless the
ladies of the V. l. S. for this we'll
equipped resting place"
See, we're coming into our, own
at last. Another wanted wash
board, tub and boiler. Now, we have
a perfectly good laundry in Blackfoot
and the V. l. S. does not desire to
enter into competition. Another
tourist suggested sink with city
water installed. This needs consid-
Grafton.
Now, we went to the Yellowstone
park five or six times in the good old
days when you took cook and mess
wagon and saddle "hosses" along and
the family rode in surrey. 1t was
the custom to keep driving till you
came to a good "crick" (not creek)

days we had ample time to observe
the scenery,-in fact, it was scener!
and natural wonders We went to SCI
and not to avoid seeing them by dash
ing along in Cadillac twin-six try
ing to esta blish a speed record. Bu
that was before touring "de luxe
was in vogue. Verify, the days o1
yesterday are andient history, anG
ne ''crick" is a thing of the past
We must adjust ourselves to the fact
that the luXuries of yesterday .are
the common-places of today. The
question before the house is now
sink or no sink. Well, sink or swim
survive or perish, We'll see what we
can do about it in the future.
One of the amusing incidents that
came into the writer's personal OBJ
servation was the use of the park by
one party while she was getting her
divorce. At another time several
boards disappeared from the fair
grounds fence and a tourists was
seen thowing them into his car, posi-
bly, as ballast? Say! We are dense.
Does car really need ballast, or do
you not suppose that he took those
boards along to save rustling fire
wood at the next stopping place?
Then another tourist was prOwl-
ing around under his car in the wee
sma' hours o. the night, when sud-
denly his car burst into flames. The
canopy and rear of the car were COM
pletely burned. Other tourists,
norlyod IN bis y;o;n;+y haof a bo o+v
retreat in very scant wardrobes and
left very early the next morning, act
ing on the principle of safety first.
At another time, sad to relate, our
new galvanized water bucket, dishes,
knives etc., departed when several
of the tourists departed. Now wasn't
that a coincidence? I mean wasn't
it strange they all decided to
"vamose" on the same bus?
Last Monday night after the tour
lists retired sneak thief frisked the
camp taking about $140 in cash and
a mans shoes. His trousers with
his watch still in them and his empty
wallet were thrown over the fair
grounds fence the next morning.
There were six cars parked in the
area, but none of the others missed
Evidently the looters
were satisfied with their haul and
left the others alone. This emphasizes
the need of police protection at night
in the park.
l received a card from Mrs. Tate,
a tourist, who left her gray sweater
in the park cottage. Please hand it
to me and it will be forwarded to her.
4 large majority of tourists ap-
preciate our hospitalities and are
loud in their praises. Others have
taken it all as a mere matter Of
course, but on the whole they have
been delightful people, whom it is a
real pleasure to meet and converse
with, and we shall be pleased to see
them again next year.
The mayor of Burley, w. w.
Yoemans, sent check for 1925 to
the president Of the V. l. S. to buy
an axe with for the park cottage. The
axe has been purchased and is now
ready for use at the park cottage.
Friday night there were campers
at the park from Junction City, Kan,
who know all of my relations there.

WEST TO COME

"Wheat and Roses Ver-

MAJORS MESSAGE
By Fred R. Reed, Executive Sec-
retary Idaho Reclamation Asso-

BY Fred R. Reed, Executive Sec-

citation.
1t transpires that many easterners
still think of our west more as holi-
day hunting ground or an incubator
for frenzied fiction than as an hon
est-to-God part of our agricultural
and industrial nation.
This class has somewhat the same
reluctance to consider seriously the
benefits of western development as
the titled gentry in the old countries
have felt toward throwing open to
cultivation their great game pre-
serves.
The nobility of England, who dur
ing the war, gladly devoted their
broad reserve acres to the husbanf
mans plow, showed better spirit,
better judgment, better patriotism
than some eastern and southern leg
islators, the convolutions Of whose
brains are so clogged with the cob
webs of ignorant selfishness and
whose vision is so bounded by the
nearest dollar that they fail to recog-
nize in our great effort to reclaim the
arid west movement for the better
ment and progress of the whole ma
tion ranking in moment with the
great territorial acquisisoins of our
history, besides solving the problem
of homes for al lour unemployed
service men who seek only opportun-
ity, not aims.
Nor are we of the west asking for
gifts-all we want is justice. There
seems to be plenty Of money in the
U. s. to loan to every foreign gov
ernment that makes a touch, even
Germany. We have patiently waited
for the vests share of congressional
appropriations for development pur-
poses. Plenty Of private capial that
is now being directly or indirectly
diverted to Europe would be avail
able under government and state
jurisdiction to build all the irriga-
tion systems, provided it could be
sure that the various states could
build the reservoirs and deliver the
water.
II the states could do this, the de-
creed water-rights would be forever
protected and the surplus used on
new lands and every cent the govern
ment advanced to the states on this
work would be paid back with in
terest within a reasonable number of
years. 1t not the credit Of our own
states as good as the bond Of any
foreign country?
This is the driest season that Idaho
has known for thirty years. The re-
suit of the water shortage will cost
the farmers and stockgrowers of
Idaho many million Of dollars. Every
man, interested in the stock or farm
business-in fact, every citizen in
Idaho feels this situation keenly.
The remedy is this:' To store the
water that runs down the Snake
river every year and is lost to Idaho

GOVERNOR DAVIS
MAKES PLEA
Discuss Matter of Western Lands
for Soldiers From Personal En-
perience and Observation
KNOWS WHAT CAN BE DONE

Observation-Disclosures D. w.
Davis of Idaho, who appeared before
the committee on public lands, made
a good impression on the members
of the committee by his earnestness
OF purpose and knowledge of condi-
tions and the complete elimination of
the political end of the matter of alb
sence of any effort to cast "a bait
for the soldieds' vote"
The members of the committee
have spent long weary hours listen
ing to men who obstensibly are for
the measure, but who in many in
stances have either politics or some
personal gain in view. On the other
hand opponents of the bill are bend
ing every effort to prove to the public
lands committee that the western
lands which it is proposed to reclaim
are not worthy of the effort or ex-
pense.
Governor Davis, in a plain,
straight forward way, told of his per-
sOnal experiences and observation in
Idaho, what he has seen and knows
to be a fact about the development
OF the state and what has been done
and can be done, and was able to
give to the committee a wealth of
valuable information.
Governor Davis has been particu-
larly active in the interests Of the
state, while in Washington, docking
after many matters Of state and per-
sonal interest of his constituents in
cluding meeting the boys of Idaho
on their landing in New York from
France.
In discussing the matter of the
western lands for soldiers the gov
ernOr said
II am not in favor of the man who
is in this country and doesn't think
enough of it to become an American
citizen and fight for the institutions
for which our soldiers fought, having
the privilege that is. now proposed to
be extended to the soldier under this
bill. The soldiers of previous wars
have had these privileges. The SOL
diers of the Mexican war and the
Civil war veterans have had this
homestead privilege, and l am very
proud Of the fact that they were Of
ICi Ou IhCoO anu L IOpc
that this congress will see that the
soldiers, who are now returning
from France will have every privilege
that we can possibly extend to them.
ANY man who went out weafing
the uniform of the United States and
had good red blood in his veins can
go on these projects and remain there
for ten years, and have piece of
land-this would apply especially in
he west, the land that am familiar
with-a piece of land that is worth
at the least calculation, 5000 an
acre, when patent is available. Now
where can he be assured a better in
vestment than that? The rise in
value there is absolutely assured be-
cause the productiveness of the farm
is not keeping pace with the increase
in population. l do. not expect to
see any permanent set back in land
values in the United States, so it will
be to his interest to hold that land"

War Veterans to
Meet Monday Night

Having been held up on plans for
an athletic smoker, which was to
have come off Tuesday evening, be-
cause of the recent legislation on
such exhibitions, the Blackfoot post
of war veterans decided to meet
Monday evening instead and aruge it
out.
Athletic exhibitions, it has been
learned ,amust be either amature or
professional. If amature, the state
athletic commission gets 10 per cent
and the amateur rules must be
adhered to; if professional, the club
must incorporate, pay 500 fees, and
get under bond for $4,000.
