Idaho Falls Newspapers
Enter Into Consoli-
dation After Many
Years
STORY BY EDITORS
High Cost of Production
With Little Profit
to Publishers

l. Following the consolidation of tn
newspapers at Idaho Falls recently
the following announcement wa
made by The Times:
After thirty years of useful ser
vice, The Times, with this issue i
consolidated with The Idaho Regis
ter, this forming a merger of two o
Idaho's oldest newspapers.
This action has been taken afte
months of study of consultations a
the present time, and what will
likely continue to be for years tt
come
The increasing costs of everything
entering into the operation of mod
ern publishing and printing plant, /.
causing employers, everywhere tt
seek ways and means to eliminate
waste, duplication Of work and euip
ment, and furnish greater service
The Times, under the ownership Of
Dennis& Snyder, has enjoyed great
measure of prosperity, but the news
paper field in Idaho Falls and the
upper valley, has become such that
the duplication and waste, could GO
unheeded no longer.
By the new arrangement, M. B.
Yeaman, of the Idaho Register and
W. s. Snyder of The Times, have pur-
chased the interest of s. W.. Dennis,
of the latter paper, and have merged
the two papers into one, which will
hereafter be known as The Times
Register.
This merger will give The Times
Register local circulation un-
equaled by any publication in the
state, and the cutting of duplication
in the two publications means thou
sands Of dollars saved to the busi-
ness interests Of Idaho Falls every
year. The increased service The
Tmes-Register will give It's adver-
tisers, at less than the same service
in two separate papers would cost,
will alone amount to a big sum an
nually. We believe that this consoli-
dation will be heartily welcomed by
every business man in the city and
county.
To our subscribers, we will say that
work of consolidating the two sub
scription lists is now in progress, and
each subscriber of The Register and
The Times, will be properly credited
upon the Times-Register list. We
urge that every. Times subscriber
note the dating on their labels and
compare with their receipts to see
that they are properly credited.
Where a reader has paid in advance
for both papers they will be credited
the amount on the Times-Register
list to make up for the discontinue
ance of the Times.
The Register Printing & Publish
ing Co., will increase it's capital
stock to $4,000 to care for the con-
solidation of the two plans and has
re-organized with M. B. Yeaman as
president and W. s. Snyder as
secretary-treasurer.
Mr.. Yeaman will continue as edi-
tor of the Times-Register and Mr..
Snyder as bushes manager.
Rumors that certain interests or
sertain people have furnished money,
bought stock, or. otherwise appeared

'|EYELESS" CARS
AND OTHER PESTS
In DISCUSSION
Some Timely Advice to.
Those Who Frequent
Highways During
Fair Week
ONE DAY IN JAIL.
Judge. May. C ause
County to Board
Evil Drivers

A large percentage of the auto
mobiles now travelling the roads Of
Bingham county either have defec-
tive lights or no lights at all. Many
OF the drivers operate their cars
without paying much attention to the
rules of the highway. Many cars
are operated without DINNERS and
throw such glare into the faces Of
people they meet, that 1t Is danger
Gus, and accidents are bound to hap
pen. The car driver who keeps only
one lamp burning is counting a col
lision. The man who runs without
a tail light is inviting disaster for
himself and others. The man who
doesn't take the trouble to flick his
bright lights when meeting another
car, and give them a chance to get
his exact location, is inviting dis
aster to himself and the people he
meets. The man who travels with q
team, but without carrying lantern
on his rig is inviting disaster, altho
he is within the law in going with
out it. The teamster who expects to
be out after dark, should carry a
lantern and be just as particular
about having it with him as the
automobile driver is to keep his
lights in repair For his own pro-
lection, and the protection of others;
these things should be attended to.
Had Accidents Coming .-.,-.
Next week is fair. week and many
people will be travelling the roads
both day and night, and we urge
auto drivers to have their cars put
In repair and especially the lights.
We urge the drivers of teams to
carry lanterns. We urge all drivers
to take every possible precaution to
save accidents during the week of
the jubilee. There is talk of having
special auto police commissioned to
see that the people observe the rules
of the highway, and give protection
to themselves and others. We don't
know when these special police will
be put into commission, but such
things are not usually done until
some terrible accidents happen, and
then they attend to it, like locking
the stable door after the horse is
stolen.
Down in Orange county, Calf,
they have applied the remedy in this
matter, in a way that gets results
and saves accidents. There is a
Judge down there who has just one
kind of sentence for everybody that
violates the traffic rules; that is, five
days in jail, and he doesn't let them
out until the FIVE days sentence has
been served. He maintains that 1t
Is better to have some people in jail
FOR five day period, than to have
lot of other people in the hospitals
Or In the cemeteries, as the result
of their carelessness. 1t is getting
TO be well-known that whenever
body crosses the Orange county line,
goin in, 1t Is time to observe the
traffic rules to the letter; and they
do it. Travellers going up and down
The country hear about the five day
sentence for any kind Of violation Of
the traffic rules, and the minute
they cross the line into Orange
county, they proceed to be good.
In some places they have special

Blackfoot Citizens De.

at Polls Not Objected

At the special election held OF

days, the voters indicated their pre-.
ference to keep them open, by a vote
of 367 against 1872. The order was
made to leave the privilege open for
picture shows to operate on Sunday.
A few weeks ago the city council
passed an ordinance permitting the
shows to operate, but with the un-
derstanding that it would be sub
mitted to an election, the middle of
September and that it should be set
tied the way the voters settled it at
the polls. The shows operating on
Sunday at the dullest part of the
season attracted very little attention
and people did not have much op-
portunity to determine whether they
approved Of it or not, or whether
they were interested in having them
open or closed. Very little discus
sion was held in the matter, and it
was not thought that many people
would go to the polls. No campaign
was conducted thru the newspapers,
excepting for two or three days prior
to the election. None of the news
papers took any stand on the ques-
tion, but allowed anybody to write
what they chose and have it pub
lished, paying the usual advertising
rate. That gave everybody a chance
to run the newspaper" in so far as
they felt inclined to do so, during
the consideration of the subject.
Not many people went into print,
but 500 votes indicated that a good
many people we're interested. Seventy
people living in the country within
the radius of some ten miles of
Blackfoot, petitioned the city coun-
Gil to close the picture shows, but
people living outside of the city linn
it's have no authority in the matter
and no provision is made for the
council paying any attention to pc
titioners outside the corporate limits
of the town.
However, everybody has the right
of petition and these petitioners pub
lished their petition for what weight
it might have with the people of
advising them how to
their town. That made an
with some people, show
ing how the country people felt
about it, and with others there was
a slight disposition to resent their
petition as interference. Some peo-
pie voted to close the picture shows
because the country people asked for
It and some others voted to open the
picture shows because the people
outside the city had interferred in
he matter. Some of the church |
people were very active against Sun
lay operating and 1t is estimated
that something like two-thirds of
he people who voted were carried to
he polls by the church people, seek |
ng to pile up a big vote for closing |

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAlSY-TRY THIS!
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out pcisons.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or nasty breath, inifact to
feel your best, day in and day out, just
try inside-bathing every morning for
one week.
Before breakfast each dayy drink a
glass Of real hot water with a teaspoon
full of limestone phosphateS in it as
harmless means of washing from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary scanal before putting more
food intOs the stomach. Thelaction of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
migrating. It cleans out all the sour
presentations, gases and acidity and
gives one splendid appetite for break
fast.
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
plate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that Just as soap and hot water
skin, so hot water and limestone phos-
plate act on the blood and internal or
gans. Those who are subject to con-
etipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach,
rheumatic twinges, also those whose
skin Is sallcw and complexion pallid.
are assured that one week Of inside
bathing will have them both looking
and feeling better In every way.
