The old covered bridge that stood for many years..
With its trembling. frame and crumbling piers,
With rusty nails and falling board.
WhSthin and noisy rafting floon
This covered bridges was made very wide
Two places to walk and two places to rdeas
With a lighttat each end the sgeeof "a STAR,
TOIlightcn the way for the old horse
Istood under its shade when the WARM.
Ittwas shelter in rain and Storm,
For the weary traveller that passed athat, way
At morning, and noon and in the heat of the day.
Now pleased the good folk Of country and town
To remove this old bridge and it torn down.
How some of us laughed, and some of us cried,
Because could not pass to the other side!'
Now never hear the noise Of the horses feet,
Nor the people used to greet!
With unsteady step and locks of gray,
Like the old covered bridge they have all passed away
Our little Quaker town should be ready to speak
or the fine cement bridge and the cement street,
The schools and churches with bells ringing loud,
And of Glen Miller Park should all feel proud.

Soldier Burials
Solemnized by
Legion Ritual

The funeral services of Charles
Davis at Blackfoot and P. v. Ceder-
berg at Firth were carried out by
the Blackfoot post Of the American
Legion and we're attended in each
case largely by both both civilian
and ex-soldier friends and relatives.
The military services were arranged
for by W. B. Goodnough, post COM
mander at Blackfoot.
These soldiers were the first to be
buried with the full American Le-
gion ritual ceremonies, which are
dignified, brief and impressive. The
eulogy was given by Wilbur C. AL
len. William N. Parkinson read the
prayer, and a full firing squad acted
as escort and gave the last salute
at the graves.
The services at Firth were car
ried out at 1880. About five auto
mobile loads of ex-service men from
blackfoot attended. Services at
Blackfoot were at 5 o'clock and were
held at the Davis residence.

FABLE OF THE DRY BATH
BY J. H. ANDERSEN

Once upon a time there lived in
the outskirts of the city Of Blackfoot
very public spirited enterprizing
young man who believed in and
helped all public policies for the ad-
vancement of the city and the COM
fort of it's citizens He noticed how
ever, that he was compelled to skimp
and scheme to get enough water to
drink and as prohibition was in
force, he often went thirsty and fire.
quently dirty tor want of water with
which to fill his bath tub This
habit of skimping and scheming
grew upon him until it took the place
of his otherwise enterprizing nature
and he became miser.
He gathered together all his prop
erty and converted it to gold and put
it in strong box and buried it in
the earth. He would not spend a
penny for any purpose. He became
so tight" that every time he winked
his eyes, the effort raised his heels
off the ground. His hide grew to
his bones and he finally died without
disclosing the place where his gold
and been buried.
His heirs, except one, spent the re-
manner Of their lives digging for the
gold, but died in proverty, heart
broke and disappointed, without dis
covering the spot where the hidden
treasure lay. The one heir who did
not try to find the, hidden gold
started to boost for improvements
and advantages which would inure
to the benefit of the city of Blackfoot
and add to the happiness of all its
citizens and in this splendid work
became successful in his personal un-
dertakings. He was among those
who were helping to excavate for the
new water works authorized by the
bond issue of August 10, 1920, and
there found the gold hidden by his
skimping ancestor.
Moral Vote water works bonds
before it is too late.

UTAH-IDAHO SUGAR COMPANY
REDUCES PRICE OF PRODUCT

The wholesale price of sugar was
reduced $185 a hundred yesterday
by the Utah-Idaho Sugar company as
a result Of similar drop in the San
Francisco market price, upon which
the Salt Lake market is based. This
brings the wholesale price of sugar
to $21.63 at Salt Lake. Two 50-cent
reductions have been made by the
Utah-Idaho corporation since May L,
in addition to the one which became
effective yesterday.
The market price in California has
been forced down by the importa-
ton of hundreds of thousands Of
tons of sugar from China, Formosa,
Japan and Java. While this sugar
is not considered to be Of high
standard, it can be sold and has a
noticeable effect on market prices.

being cut in this country and ex-
pressed himself somewhat in the
fashion the writer did last sum-
mer.
This all goes to show that our
friends ca in the lower country are
determined to cut the canals up here
and run the water down the river,
even if they do not need it, in order
to jeopardize our rights and be in
position later on to go into court
whenever the matter becomes acute
and prove that we have been cut and
got along with what water they had
allowed us and therefore we have
no right to the extra waters we
may claim in the future. How long
are we going to suffer matters to be
conducted in this manner concern
ing our irrigation water?
From what l have seen in the
past, and from what know the peo-
pie in the lower country have tried
to do in cutting our water and TAX
ing it themselves, l am convinced
that there is we'll laid plan to keep
at this thing until they undermine
our water rights. They employ sew
eral good lawyers all the time, and
likewise water engineers who are
measuring and compiling a lot of
water data, SO they can go into court
and prove most any kind of case they
wish to establish. The people in
charge of the farmers rights up here
are doing nothing along these lines.
We have no engineers up the riv-
er this summer measuring all the
streams that make up the natural
flow of the river. 1t does seem to
me that the great country north of
Blackfoot, comprising about 1,000,-
900 acres of irrigated lands, could
easily afford to employ two or three
water engineers to measure all the
streams up here that constitute our
natural flow, which we are entitled
to, and get some facts, figures and
records so we will be prepared for
any eventuality and know where we
are at
"T am satisfied that there is more
than enough natural flow water in
the South fork to furnish every
farmer up here with all the water
he needs this year, and we are being
cut right now in some localities"

WEATHER AIDS HARVEST

BOISE, Aug. 4.-Rather high tenn
peratures were experienced during
the week throughout the state. The
weather was warmer than normal
most of the time, although local
thunder showers freshened the air
and gave brief temporary relief from
the heat in some districts. The week
was as dry as it was hot. No gen.
eral rains occurred and the show
ers attending the scattered thunder
storms were mostly too light too
add materially to soil moisture.
However, violent thunderstorm
occurred in southeastern Idaho
which was accompanied by an ex-
cessive downpour of rain and some
hail, damaging crops over con-
siderable area.
There was abundant sunshine and
conditions were ideal for harvest.
Rapid progress was made in harvest
ing small grain crops-wheat, bar
icy, oats and rye and the second cut
ting of alfalfa. Wheat harvest Is
general in all but the later districts;
in some of the earlier sections har-
vesting has been completed and
.threshing is the order of the day.
A little threshing has been done in
the Boise-Payette valley but this ac-
tivity has not become general. 1t
was a fine week for curing hay and
much of the second cutting of al
falfa is now safe in the stack, Sc
cured in excellent condition.
Where ample soil moisture obtain
ed it was great growing weather and
all crops made exceptionally good
headway Corn, sugar beets, pota-
toes and all garden and truck crops
grew rapidly in the irrigated dis
tricts where water has at all times
been ample for all crop needs, but in
dry farm areas crops are suffering
more or less from drought and
yields will be materially reduced.
The range has held up remarkably
we'll in most districts and range
stock looks sleek and fat.
All fruit is making satisfactory
progress. A light crop of apricots
is being marketed in the Lewiston
and Boise-Payette valleys. Emmett,
watermelons are now coming into
the market plentifully.-U. s. De.

STAGE IS SET FOR
BOND ELECTION
Electors to Decide on
Future of City
Water Supply

After q great amount of physical
and mental work on the part of the
Blackfoot city council the stage is
set for a municipal water bond elee-
ton. The way is open to the city
to gain and possess a water system
Of its own, which may be extended
as it wills to take care of a grow
ing population.
Blackfoot business mems organi-
cations are pledged to support this
measure with personal efforts. They
intend to 60 out after votes and cleo
tioneer for the good Of the city.
j. H. Andersen for the Rotary
club had published in this paper
Wednesday an appealing display of
reasons why Blackfoot should not
neglect the opportunity of improve
ment. Members of the Commercial
club are also busy helping this
bonds chances.
Mayor N. J. Thorstenberg said
Thursday: There is no argument
against this proposition. 1t will be
practically self-sustaining and in
twenty years or such matter the city
will own a water system of which
it may be proud. 1t is sound in
vestment."
The special election next Tues
day is held for the purpose of get
ting decision by qualified electors
on the proposition of selling munich
pal bonds for 100000, which is to
be used, says the ordinance (No.
238):
For the purpose of providing the
necessary funds with which either to
acquire by purchase or otherwise
the present waterworks plant and
system which is owned and control-
led by private company, and to en-
large, extend, repair, alter and i'm
prove such plant, or to construct a
new water plant and system for the
purpose of supplying the said mu-
nicipality and the inhabitants there
of with water, and making pfovi-
sion for the levy and collection Of
the tax necessary to pay the interest
on such bonds as the same shall ma
ture, and to create sinking fund
for the payment of the principal
thereof within twenty years from the
date of issuance"
Last spring the council spent con-
siderable time with engineers re-
ports on water systems feasible and
not feasible for Blackfoot, and the
many examples round us in Idaho of
cities hampered by insufficient wa
ter systems was at no time forgot
ten. The members determined that
the best thing to do was to buy the
present system and enlarge it to
the needs Of the community.

HE MAY BE DOWN
BUT NEVER OUT

"A man may be down, but he's
never out" says the Salvationist.
No matter how far man may have
gone, there is always a spot that
may be touched to bring him TO a
complete regeneration.
The work of taking man out of
the gutter and giving him decent
place in society; of restoring unfor-
tunate girls; of serving convicted
men; of making better citizens, are
every day incidents to us.
The little stories of human fall
ings are far too many to tell about.
We aim to give them a chance. We
do not publish their names. We put
them back in their places In soci
ETY. with new interest; new ambi'
ton and new desire for righteous
ness. Whatever the past may have
been 1t does not matter. The future
is what counts.
Over. SIS per cent of the unfortu
mates with whom We come in con
tact, are permanently restored be-
cause we do not advertise their past
