MAKE WIDE SIDEWALKS
IN VERY DRY TOWN

Well, Mr.. Editor, / was up street
this morning and saw men making
lots of sidewalk considerable wider
than the other ones, maybe they
think cannot walk on the old ones,
but there are no saloons here. Well,
I never was drunk, neither do chew
or smoke, guess / have no bad
habits, that is for others to indulge.
Well, went on up to the fair
grounds and looked them over. be-
lieve they are as fine as ever saw.
hope lots Of people will come and
visit them on the twenty-first to the
twenty-fourth. / sure will be there,
and hope all of the jolly people will
visit the picture shows, and take a
part in the street dances. am
eighty years old, have made music
for people to dance ever since was
fifteen years old, in five or six diff
ferent states.
Say, I have never lived in a rented
house. Oh, young men don't spend
your money as fast as you earn it,
but try to have something when you
are old. don't have to work, but
like to work. When ! look back
at what / have done it seems most
impossible, but such are facts. I
bought the first farm when I was
about twenty-five years old. Have
had some eleven different farms,
two hotels, and run a broom factory
for some seven years. Say, at time
fifty years ago broom corr was
worth 5000 a ton in Chicago. l
came in southwest Iowa with an
uncle. We planted eighty acres of
broom corn and when we had ours
ready to sell 1t was worth $50 ton

in Chicago, would not pay the
freight. So l told my uncle to say
nothing. l had been raised close
to broom factory. l knew all about
broom making except / had not made
them. So went to the town of Red
ford, built shop, made my own ma
chinery and in couple Of days could
make as fine brooms as anybody. The
thing Of it is to try try again. Well,
l run the business seven years, then
sold out, kept a farm all the time
until two years ago sold all out
l lived in Boise valley for thirty-two
years, passed thru this place about
thirty-two years ago. l was the
founder or called the dad Of the
Farmers Union Ditch on north side
Of the valley. 1t was surveyed about
twenty-five miles long and made
many fine homes. Well, now am
here in Blackfoot and am glad and
willing to help Blackfoot.
will say again as I said some
time ago that few people cannot
run good fair. It takes lots or all
the citizens to help. Some old men
become helpless. It is a good deal
as you think. am free thinker.
l don't ask anybody to think for me,
but like to talk to men that will talk
on scientific matters. l wonder how
many people in Blackfoot have ever
studied astronomy. O, haven't got
brains enough to realize the great
of creation.
Well, goodby for this time

WOMAN CLAIMS

Ownership Dates Back
to Days Of American
= ssf.z Revolution !.
.(By international News service)

(By International News service) g
CHICAGO. - Dreams Of great
wealth are common, and most for
tunes can be traced back to the land,
but to find ones self possible city
OF more than 2,OO0,0 900 people has
its site is uncommon
That Is the situation In which two
Chicago women-Mrs. Martha Schus-
ter ana her niece Mrs. H. P. Booth
find themselves. They are be-
lieved to be direct descendants of
Count Casimir Pulaski, Polish pat
riot, who died fighting with the
American revolutionary forces.
Their claim dates back to 1879,
when Count Pulaski was awarded by
congress $50 acres in northern Illi-
nois., the territory on which Chicago
is now located, in recognition of his
services during the Revolutionary
war. A short time later Count Pu-
laski was killed fighting against the
British at Savannah, and the land
grant never was given to his heirs.
A recent press despatch from
Philadelphia told Of action started
there by Wladislay Burdinsky, of
Warsaw, Poland to recover from
congress the equivalent in money of
the value of the ground on which
Chicago stands. Burdinsky, the at
torney stated, is direct descendant
of Count Pulaski.

dent, Mrs. Schuster was, reminded of
stories told her by her father, Wlad-
islaw Won Poleski, who died in 1909.
The elder Poleski had always said
he was OF noble descent and that il
he but had the means he could
claim fortune in Poland. A hasty
search was made thru old trunks.
Most Of the fathers papers had been
destroyed, but one, a discharge from
the Austrian army in 1864, plainly
showed the full name, Wladislaw

Mrs. Schuster and Mrs. Booth are
now trying to determine upon plan
of action to prove their claim.

OUTSIDER TELLS
OF COUNTY FAIR
Idaho Falls Editor Gives
Praise to Blackfoot
Fair Association.

The Times-Register of Idaho Falls
has the following to say regarding
the Bingham county fair which opens
tomorrow:
Bingham county Is to hold real
fair next week, beginning Tuesday
and lasting for four days, and they
have real home and grounds on
which to have their big show, for bic
show it is to be, and from the large
list of enteries made and exhibits al
ready on the ground.
The Bingham County Farm Bur-
eau thru the medium of the Black
foot Commercial club and the county
commissioners, bought the grounds
near town which will prove a good
investment, not only for fair and
community gathering purposes, but
as Blackfoot grows the increase in
the value Of the property will pay
big returns.
In the meantime the grounds are
being put in good condition for the
fair, which begins Tuesday and con-
tinues four days, including Friday.
The grounds have been leve]ed and
graded, the dilapidated fence taken
down and neat woven wiref ence
with painted posts put up; the ram
shackle old building and barns pulled
down and in their place neat, well
arranged exhibit buildings, stalls
and barns and the track put in fine
condition.
On the whole the appearance of
the fair grounds is a decided credit
to the county and it's organizations
which have made the fair possible.
The exhibits are to be the biggest
and best that Bingham county ever
made, which is sayin ga great deal
for the Blackfoot fair as it has been
called, for it has always been good.
Fifteen thousand dollars is to be
paid in the way of cash prizes for
the exhibits, which is enough even
were it not for the patriotic pride
of the people of that county to insure
a good exhibit.
The amusement features will be
a big part Of the program: races
and wild west and Indian stunts. A
big delegation of Indians from the
Fort Hall reservation have estab-
lished camp on the grounds.
The firm establishment of the
Bingham county fair made possible
by the farm bureau is just what can
be done in Bonneville county If the
proper amount of interest is shown
by the entire community.
The city and county can. we'll af-
ford to cooperate in this plan and
secure grounds that will serve for
fair purposes and then may be sold
for good profit on the investment
and in the meantime do not forget
that the first fair under the direction
of the county farm bureau will be
held next week.

Diamonds Galore
Washed Up BY
Tidal Waves
(By International News Service)

| (By International News Service)
CHICAGO.-Diamonds washed up
from the sea on the coast Of south
west Africa during 1913 totaled L.
234,727 carats, valued at $13,132,-
$50. This is according to govern
ment scientists who Investigated the
coastal diamond field which is 270
miles long and was discovered In
1908. tg
These ocean gems are found
chiefly in the Pomona district and
never more than fifteen miles from
the shore. Most of them are ex-
tremely small. Though one of thirty
four carats has been discovered the
average size is one-fifth of carat.
They are inbedded in the beaches
or in sand dunes. 9
Investigators have reached the
conclusion that the original deposit
is at the bottom of the sea between
Pomona and Possession Island. It is
supposed to have been lifted to the
ocean floor by some seismic convul-
sion ages ago. From the multitude
of small diamonds cast ashore by the
waves, it is believed to be immensely
rich. The depth of the water makes
1t impossible for divers to reach the
treasure bed and only the shark and
the cuttlefish may ever know what
giant jewels glimmer in this unfath-
omed Golconda of the sea.
The diamonds that have been
found are of many colors. Blue
white stones are rare. Clear white
crystals make up the bulk of them.
Fellows, pink, purplish, blush, green
and black stones occur The dia-
monds are characterized by greater
brilliancy in the rough than any
others found in south Africa. If any
future invention ever makes it fea-
sible to mine these submarine beds,
1t Is believed the world will gain a
new source of diamond supply equal
in richness to the Kimberley fields.

RECRUITING FOR THE RE-
/ FORM SYNAGOG-A REPLY

This reply to our associate c. d.
Ms rejoinder in our last issue is
really not reply but rejoinder.
But since our worthy colleague saw
fit to anticipate us and to pre-empt
that beautiful word, we cannot do
anything else but write reply to his
rejoinder, instead of a rejoinder to
his reply. 1t really is not right
for colleagues to be so competitive
and to grab things from each other.
But it cannot be helped any more,
regrettable as it may be.
When we wrote Our editorial in
defense, or rather justification, of
American Judaism and the Reform
synagog, we did not mean to hurt
our genial associate C. D. MS feel
ings at all. That was farthest from
our thoughts. In fact, we were con-
WINGED that what we wrote applied
to the shade of Judaism and the
kind of synagog that he represents
as we'll as any other shade of Re
form Judaism. We might have ex-
pected a reply or protest from
orthodox rabbi or communal

filling the ranks, depleted by death
or desertion, of the earlier recruits.
We merely expressed hope and
wish for the continuation and ac-
celeration of the process that has
been going on right along, and
which is inevitable.
Now, as to the present status OF
the reform synagog, and its further
development. In our editorial to
which the otherwise good-natured
c. D. M. took exception, we uttered
the plant that there is "an element
in the reform synagog which has so
little attachment to Jewish life and
Jewish condition that if left entirely
in control, the reform synagog
would soon be completely de-Juda-
lied, or compelled to close its doors,
and it is from this element that
Christian Science and Ethical Gull
ture make their converts" Alert
C. D. M. thought he now had us on
the hip. He seized upon that state
ment as a fine bit of discriminating
evidence against the reform syna-
cog. He speaks of the graduates
from reform Judaism who "join the
ranks of the Christian Scientists or
the Ethical Culturists." He would
not have anyone become "a prop
in tottering system even tho it be
Americanized." You see to what
your so-called American Judaism
leads you? Christian Science and
Ethical Culture. This is the idea
cunning C. D. M. wishes to convey.
But he was carried a little too far
by his zeal.
C. D. M. knows as we'll as we do
that while there is such an element
in the reform synagog which is a
source of weakness to it, there is an
other element genuinely Jewish,
Fundamentally, loyalty Jewish, very
much devoted to the synagog and
to every Jewish cause, just as there
is third element that is Indifferent
1y Jewish, and may be swayed either
way. But C. D. M. probably knows
more than that. He probably
knows that deserters from Judaism
and it matters not to what other
cult they desert-are not necessarily
"graduates" from the reform syna-
cog. Prof. C. Deutsch of Cincin-
natl, who is quite an authority on
the subject has AGAIN and AGAIN

orthodox synagog with men and wo-
men sitting in the same pews, or
with a rabbi who tries to enhance
his youthful pulchritude with clean
shave every morning? If these are
not the first steps in the American
cation or reform of the synagog,
what are they? And if these steps
may be taken on the dangerous
path, why not two or three more?
By what authority must we stop at
these two? Why not an organ in
the synagog? Does c. D. M. know
that in Germany many conservative
congregations have organs in their
synagogs; that in France, where Of
fetal Judaism is strictly orthodox,
the organ is found in every syna-
cog; and that in England, besides
the three so-ca11ed reform synagogs
probably of a milder type of re-
form than c. D. M.'s) the organ is
used at marriages even in strictly
orthodox synagogs? And why not
the occidental practice of showing
reverence by uncovering the head in
the synagog, instead of covering it,
as orientals do? Does C. D. M.
know that in the thirteenth century,
long before Judaism was Ameri-
canized, the Jews of France wor-
SHIPPED with uncovered heads, and
that both Solomon Luria and the
Gaon of wilma consider the covered
head merely matter of custom and
propriety?
All this, however, is just an
"argumentum ad homi men," to
show our surprise that Our worthy
associate C. D. M. should have taken
umbrage at what we said.
But now to the gist of the matter.
C. D. M. writes as if the reform
synagog had been what it is ever
since the "six days of creation" He
seems to forget that most reform
synagogs that date back a genera
ton or two ago began as orthodox
synagogs. Such was the beginning
of the reform synagogs of Min
neapo1is, St. Paul, and most of the
Temples East, South, and West.
Such was, for example, the origin of
the two leading reform congrega-
tons of Cincinnati, the present seed
plot of reform. In other words, the
reform synagog has always drawn
