sincerest thanks. The management
is indeed grateful to them for their
work.
The Idaho Repub blican is also in
debted to the kindness of F. M. Fish
er,, county clerk, for the use of the
ballot boxes, which are usually in
service of a different character How
ever, let it be said that the box
loaned to the Idaho Republican has
contained more votes" in the past
few days than it has in all it's eX-
istence as a ballot box.
Again the management wishes to
thank these enterprising hustling
contestants for their earnest work.
The Idaho Republican is deerly
grateful to them, every one, for their
part. IN making such tremendous
circulation as it now enjoys, possible.
And let it be said right here that if
ever in later years the Idaha Repub-
lican can express thiss appreciation
in more substantial manner or if the
Idaho Republican can be of service
to any of these splendid people, all
that is necessary is for the wish to
be made known to the management.
The Idaho Republican wants the
contestants in this election to appre-
ciate how they have widened the in
fluence of. this newspaper and how
greatly they have assisted in tits
growth in the past few weeks and
regardless of the big prizes that are
being awarted today, the Idaho Re-
publican is at the command of any
contestant at any time it can be
of any service in any way.
More than anything else, the
management of the election appre-
ciated the expressions of the various
candidates in the office yesterday
and today, winners and losers, about
the fairness and squareness of the
entire race.
1t has been the aim of the man
agement to conduct the entire cleo
ton in an absolutely unquestionable
manner-to make it fair and square
in every detail to everyone. And
it is gratifying to the management
to know that these efforts have been
appreciated - from the compliment
tary remarks and expressions of ev-
eryone who has visited the Idaho Re-
publican office and the election head
quarters today.
All candidates who made a cash
report each week of the campaign
will receive prize. Prizes are be-
ing awarded today and tomorrow

Desert Roads
Worked Over by
Loyal Citizens

A crowd of Blackfooters number
ing about sixty or seventy men, and
fourteen men and about as many
ladies from Arco,. did road service
Sunday and picked out the loose
rocks along the road for about forty
miles over the desert They also
dug out some of the worst of the
tight rocks.
The Arco ladies spread a dinner
that surprised the BlackfoOt men,
and when they. had finished off with
fifteen gallons of ice cream they pro-
nounced Arco a good place to live,
knowing it was the home of such
thoughtful women. The Blackfoot
men took lunch along, but brought
most of it back with them.
The day closed with an oratorio of
dust scooped up in their faces by a
big wind that co-operated with every
turn of the wheels.

Miss Euleda Ginger of Aberdeen
who won the hon5rs in district No.
. in the Idaho Republicans cam
paiga is one Of the best known and
most popular young ladies In south
eTn Bingham county.
Miss Ginger was a headliner dur
ing the entire battle and never let up
in her race for a single minute.
Thirty-four million was the
startling number of votes which
Miss Ginger and her innumerable
friends collected during the election
and this immense total well indicates
her popularity and the esteem in
which she is held thruout her COM
munity. A beautiful new Nash tour
ing car was the award presented
her for her efforts in the battle.

Blackfoot Will
Not Celebrate
Pioneer Day

At the meeting of the Commercial
club Friday evening it was decided
to reorganize the base ball club, and
r. s DeKay was elected manager.
The car that was to be given away
last spring is still IN their posses
sion, and some of the money lost or
carried off by a case of misplaced
confidence, as we understand it, and
row they will renew their efforts to
carry out the original plan.
Blackfoot will not celebrate the
twenty-fourth Of" July, and hopes
thereby to build greater interest and
get better support for the fair. If
Blackfoot people celebrate the
twenty-fourth in other towns, they
will be more likely to patronize our
fair.
The club renews its demand of the
city and county government that the
roads leading into Blackfoot shall
be protected from decay and they
renewed their agitation of former
years seeking to get the Short Line
to run the park trains between Salt
Lake and the Yellowstone in the day
time so people can see the valley.
That makes the tourists lose day,
and it makes the Short Line build
mammoth hotel at the park entrance
which they have always refused to
do. They claim it suits the travellers
better to get into the park in the
morning and get sleeper out in the
evening, and these valleys have al
ways been passed in the night both
ways.

Jason Lee
Celebration at
Old Fort Hall

This word comes to us from DR..
Minnie Howard of Pocatello; she is
the chairman of the committee for
the occasion.
"On July 27 at o'clock at the
site Of old Fort Hall, on the Indian
Bottoms, will be celebrated the
eighty-sixth anniversary of the SER
mon of Rev. Jason Lee which was
preached there July 27, 1884. This
is regarded as the first protestant
sermon west of the Rocky Mount
aims. Mr.. Lee was on his way to
Oregon and camped there with his
party over the Sunday.
"Dr. J. D. Gillian of Blackfoot has
been engaged to deliver the sermon
of the occasion. All the Blackfoot
people who can go are invited to
take their cars and be present"

All honor to the huStling
Idaho Republican Contestants
who worked hard to obtain the
rich prizes.
The most interesting and exciting
voting election ever witnessed in old
Bingham county was the gigantic
Idaho Republican subscription cam
paign which came to a successful
close Saturday night at 10 o'clock.
1t was truly wonderful race. The
numbers of votes cast for the vari-
GUS candidates ran up into the mil
lions and it was quite late Sunday
morning when the diligent judges,
who had labored hard, finally made
the grand totals and announced the
results. The utmost accuracy was
observed by the judges in tallying
each contestants vouchers and votes
and to say that it was a difficult and
most tedious task is putting it mild
ly Very fortunately, the gentlemen
who served as judges in the big
election were all accustomed to
handling figures and to accounting
with the greatest exactness and this
fact made it possible to complete the
count in the time they did.
The Idaho Republican wishes to
take this means Of expressing it's
thanks and its sincerest gratitude
to every contestant in the list for
their part in making the campaign
the rousing success that 1t has been.
Starting out very slowly (indeed, for
a time it looked like dismal fail
ure), the campaign became faster
and faster and more interesting and
exciting day by day until it became
the most talked of subject in the
entire county.
1t is doubtful if there was home
in the entire limits of eastern Idaho
that was not vitality interested in
the success of some one of the hust-
ling candidates toward the home
stretch" Votes literally poured into
the ballot box the last few days and
every individual candidate, regard
less of their standing in the list,
should feel mighty proud today of
the hundreds and hundreds Of
friends who valiantly supported
them throughout the election. In an
election of this nature candidate
finds out who are her-or his-real
friends and the support that was CIV
en- the different workers proved be-
yond question that each neighbor-
hood and community was represented
in the election by the most popular
person.
It would be impossible, according
to the Judgment Of the management
of the election, to go through the
country adjacent to Blackfoot and
throughout the city itself and select
a number of men and women who
possess more friends or are more
popular than the ladies and gentle
men who competed in the Idaho Re-
publican's tremendous election.
To the very competent judges who
worked so faithfully and carefully
all night long in the task of counting
the millions of ballots cast, the Ida
no Republican wishes to express its

Community CLUB TO
ADVERTISE IDAHO
Burley Rotarians APP
plaud Scheme to
Speed Cultivation
Special to the Idaho Republican

The Rotarians of Burley at their
regular noon day luncheon on Tues
day, had w. (BilD C. Larsen and
John r. Barta of Paul for their
guests, and these gentlemen ad-
dressed the Rotarians ON the plan
of the Snake River Valley Commun-
ity club to advertise the Snake river
valley.
Mr.. Larsen, president cf the Snake
River Valley Community club, was
the first speaker, and he went into
the various details of the clubs
scheme of advertising the natural
resources of the Snake river valley
and also explained the clubs organ
ization He said that the time was
never better than at present to ad-
4ertise the Snake river valley. People
are moving from the middle west
Into Oregon, Washington, California
and Texas, because these states are
advertising their natural resources
and the opportunities open for
settlers.
Farmers in the middle west, dur
ing the last several years, have been
discouraged and in the face of this
disbursement the prices of their
lands lave been artificially inflated
in price, to an extent that makes II
impossible for the farms to earn
fair return on the investment; es-
pecially has this been so in the state
of Iowa. In Iowa some of the very
poorest land was doomed until the
outrageously extravagant price of
$500 per acre was asked and OBJ
tanned. The seasons in the middle
west have been unfavorable for crop
production. Last year in Illinois the
farmers had too much rain In the
spring, none in the summer, but
super-abundance of killing heat, and
in the fall the farms we're almost
flooded away with the torrential
rains.
"If the farmers of the states where
these several conditions prevail
knew about the wonderful opportun-
tiles for farmers in the Snake river
valley, they would not hesitate to
come here, and would not go wild
goose" chasing into Oregon, Wash
ington, California and elsewhere,
where they cannot find what they are
seeking. 1t has been the experience
of most of us, while travelling in the
east, that people do not believe what
we tell them about the Snake river
valley, and they indicate plainly
that they believe we are either lying
outright or exaggerating. If ws>are
to make them understand what we
have, it will be necessary for us to
place the stamp of approval of the
federal government upon our cam
paign, for no one can question what
the government has approved.
"Now then, by advertising the en-
tire valley, the federal government
and the Union Pacific railroad will
both cooperate with the Snake. River
Valley Community club and this CO.
operation is the stamp of approval
we require to overcome the doubts
of the people of the middle west and
east. The federal government will
take the pictures of our valley, which
will include street scene of Burley
and other towns of the valley, farms,
dams, reservoirs and sources OF
water supplies. The government
