BOOSTING EMIGRATION
CANYON HIGHWAY

Leroy Lindsay of Mink Creek, a
forest ranger on the Cache Forest,
is in Bear Lake County in the inter
ests of highway through Emigra-
tion canyon, and is meeting the rep
resentatives from this county to the
legislature as we'll as officers Of the
commercial organizations. Mr.. Lind
say states that the representatives
from Franklin county want to back
movement to secure state aid for the
construction Of a good road through
the mountains, the distance of the
canyon road being but thirteen miles
from the last ranch at Sharon in this
county, to the first ranch near Mink
creek.
The Emigration canyon route is
said to be a most feasible outlet
from this county, and the fact that
there are less han fourteen miles OF
actual mountain road, it is thought
to be an easy matter to secure state
aid In putting the road in good con-
dition for travel. especially with com
mercial organizations OF Preston and
Bear Lake county to lend support to
the movement.
The Franklin county representa-
tives favor the drafting OF joint bill
with Bear Lake county representa-
tives in asking for state appropria-
ton. Much travel from here went by
that road last summer. and those
making the trip were enthused over
the possibilities of the route. The
summit over this road is 1900 feet
lower than the summit of the Logan
canyon route.

LIBERAL AMOUNTS
IDAHO RECLAMATION
Reclamation Appropriation by Gov
ernmenf for 1921 is $4,000, 600

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Because IL
has been found on revision that the
estimated receipts from oil lease roy
alties will probably not be as great
as they at first were figured, the
house committee on appropriations
has cut the total appropriations for
government reclamation work from
$4,000, 900 to $19, 100000, and the
amounts to be appropriated in the
sundry civil bill will be less than the
amounts estimated on December 8.
The amounts granted, however, are
by far the greatest annual appropria-
tions ever made for irrigation in any
one year. The sundry civil bill carry
ing these appropriations were report
ed to the House Of Representatives
in Washington Wednesday.
The bill carries the full amount
asked for the Boise, Idaho, project,
81 1,57O,O0O and $3,OOO,OOO for the
King Hill project both appropriations
being for new construction as we'll
as maintenance and operation.
The appropriation for the Mini
doka project, however, is cut to ST.
1880 as against $2,335,00O, or
iginally estimated, this amount being
as much in the opinion of engineers
as probably can be expended during
the coming fiscal year. The bill
grants the authority to condemn that
part of the present town of American
Falls which will be flooded Nby the
construction OF the American Falls
lam, and provides for the laying out
Of new town on high ground above
,he level of the reservoir, and COM
mits the government to the construc-
lion OF this reservoir with the subse-
uent building of another big addi-
ion to the Minidoka project.

LookOn Other
Side of Track
IN GUY FLRNNER

A group OF eastern men in the
smoking compartment were appar-
emily disguised with the view
What a barren. cheerless, desolate
section, one remarked as the train
sped past sagebrush and isolated
prove-up shacks.
rWhy don't you look on the other
side OF the track?" suggested q ma
tive. They did so. They saw, as far
as the eye could reach, well kept
farms, they saw cultivation In in
tense form, They saw fields and or
chards and pastures. They under
stood it all when 1t was explained
that the Magician. water. had not
yet touched the other side" with
his wand.
Why should we not all get into the
habit of looking "on the other side
of the track"
On one side we see taxation, not
a cheerful view: but on the other
we see substantial institutions. a
standard education, commendable
and needed civic equipment, improv-
ed highways. constant effort to inn
prove living conditions and CONNER
cial conditions. a constant battle for
tho betterment of all.
This and that business Ii charging
an unholy profit, we hear: but whom
we look on the other side OF the
track we find many actually taking
a loss now to avoid heavier loss
later.
The bank is damned from the one
sided viewpoint; but when we look
on the other side we find II per-
forming a mission. under n severe
strain, for the actual salvation OF
business and we are all engaged IN
business in one way or another and
depend on It..
Corporations arc accused OF ex-
eessive charges; but on the other
side of the track we see them earn
ing per cent and less. some OF
Them running In the red, and yet
maintaining payrolls and struggling
under most adverse conditions to
give the public n maximum or serv-
Ice at cost fixed low by the repre-
Isentatives of tho public.
The newspaper is criticised be-
cause it does not instantly coincide
with every individual view. with all
the variation that implies; but when
we look on the other side of the
track we find 1t performing a most
important function for the public,
day after day, week after week, fight
ing for development. for improved
al oil A
less and mostly unappreciated effort
for the public, and itself possibly
barely able to stagger under the
load of mounting costs of material
and labor.
Public officials are censored, and
sometimes harsh, though thought
less accusations are leVeled at them:
but when wo look on the other side
of the track we see set of men. for
the most part earnestly laboring for
the public welfare, working long
hours each day for less pay than
they could obtain in any other line
of endeavor.
School trustees and teachers are
subjects OF criticism, al times acute !;
but when we look on the other side
of the track we see body OF men
and women donating their time and
ability to the cause of education. and
teachers, having equipped themsel-
yes through years OF labor and study
and great cost, educating cur child
rem and impressing high standards
for their future, and receiving less
pay in most cases than the day La
borer.
Let's look on the other side of the
track.

CATTLE AND HORSE
MEN MEET IN BOISE

The sixth annual convention of the
Idaho Cattle and Horse Growers AS
sociation will be held in Boise, Ida
no, on January 4th and 5th, 1921.
In addition to the annual address
of the president, ]. II. Fayle, of Du-
bois, Idaho, and the annual report of
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Les. Dilling
ham, of Mackay, Idaho, there will
appear on the program prominent
forest reserve officials, state officials
and prominent livestock producers
ard bankers, thus treating the live
stock industry and the present finan-
cial situation and the critical condi-
tions faced by the producers, from
every point.
If the congress OF the United
States has not, at that time, placed
an embargo upon hides, meats and
live animals, the officers of the asso-
citation contemplate that the associa-
tion will prevail upon the Idaho leg
islature, which conYenes on the first
Monday in January, to secure a mem
orial to congress, urging the immedi-
ate enactment of an emergency en-
barge to operate until such q time
as congress can enact the necessary
tariff legislation to save the livestock
industry, and also to prevail upon
the legislature of the state to secure
a memorial urging congress to auth
orize by law reduction OF the pres
ent fees for grazing livestock on the
national forests, in opposition to the
House Agricultural Appropriation
measure to increase the fees.
Chairman Hougen of the Commit
tee, made a trip of inspection thru
out the west during the past four
months, and when congress recon
yened, stated that he was more con-
v.nced than ever Of the justice of
an advance. This question was up
during the past year, and the state
association, combined with other live
stock associations of the west, was
successful in staving off the proposed
advance. 1t is up for consideration
again this year, and concerted action
must be had by livestock producers
to again defeat the measure, which if
passed, would strike a serious blow
at the already demoralized industry
Through this organization, a big
saving has been effected for the live
stock interests during the past years
not only in grazing fees but in state
taxes on cattle which were reduced
from an assessed valuation of $50 to
s27 per head, ten per cent reduction
which came as a great relief to an
over burdened industry.
Through the cooperation OF the
- - = Al
situation this year has been most
satisfactory throughout the state.
Conventions of the associations
have been held in Pocatello, Idaho
Falls, Payette, and three times at
Boise. The association is organized
into districts with an advisory board
of nine, one presiding over each dis
trict, with county chairmen in each
county as follows:

RailrOadMen
CanBuy Stock

u According to D. s. Spencer, general
passenger agent for the Oregon Short
Line, The Union Pacific system, by
a circular OF the presidents, bearing
date of December 25. 1920, has an
nounced plan. approved by the
board of directors, whereby employees
of the Union Pacific, the Oregon
Short Line railroad company and the
Oregon-Washington Railroad and
Navigation company, may purchase
the common capital stock OF the I'm
son Pacific railroad company, in the
market, upon a partial payment bas-
is.
Briefly the plan provides that the
railroad will purchase stock in the
open market on receipt of order from
the employee, who will pay for the
cost of the stock in twenty-four
equal installments, by deductions
from the payroll monthly.
The company will credit to the
employees account all dividends re-
ceived upon the deferred payments.
Union Pacific stock has paid for
some time. quarterly a dividend Of
ten dollars per share per annum. The
range of its market price since Oct
ober LIST has been between $12s.50
and $1,000 per share. At a cost OF
$125.00 per share, this would allow
return equal to eight per cent per
annum upon the amount invested, at
price or $4,000 per share, the re-
turn would be equal to S.33 per cent.
THE plan provides specific treat
ment Of cases where employees become
disabled or die, and where they leave
the service.
'The company states particularly
that it has mo stock for sale, and II
simply acts as an agent for the en-
ploye who wishes to invest. It also
emphasizes the fact that 1t does not
urge employees to purchase stock
and makes no representation or guar
antee as to future market prices or
-dividend policy. and states that in
offering this plan it is actuated by nc
motive except to enable employees to
save and invest their savings In the
stock of the company IL they 80 de-
sire"

Keep Your Blood Clean As You Keep Your Body Clean You Don't
Wait Until Your Body is Foul Before You Cleanse II

1t is a matter of surprise that
many people who are so careful to
have clean bodies make no effort
to keep the blood clean. Every
one knows that uncleanness
breeds disease; that those who do
not keep their bodies in a whole
some condition and who dwell in
filthy surroundings are the first
to fall when some epidemic Of
disease sweeps the country. But
foul blood is more dangerous to
the individual than a foul body.
An unclean body is a passiXe
rather than an active hindrance to
health. But unclean blood is an
active threat against the very
life--it makes the body u prepared
breeding place for disease.
In view Of the fact that every
body Is liable to impurity of the
blood why should we not treat the
blood as we do the body-keep it
