PRICE OF SUGAR
CONTINUES HIGH
Prospects Good for Big
Production of Beets
LOCAL. y

Prospects for a good sugar crop
in this section are very good, accord
ing to word from various ranchers.
The beets are being thinned at the
present and indications are that a
large yield will be produced.
The good crop of sugar beets that
is sure to be produced in this sec
tion is giving much satisfaction to
those vitality interested in the sugar
supply, which is greatly reduced be-
cause of the absence of the Cuban
crop. AS the United States only pro-
duces one-fourth of the the sugar
consumed within its borders, every
effort is being made to stimulate
production thruout the country.
Bingham county, one of the largest
producers of sugar in the state, is
thus in position to do much to sup
ply a proportionate share of this alb
normal demand.
Locally the price of sugar ranges
from 26 cents a pound to 80 cents
a pound with only a limited supply
on hand.
The American Refining company
has quoted sugar for September dand
October delivery at $3.50, which
would mean a retail price of $3.50.
Sugar is now selling at San Fran
cisco at $26.50 a hundred.

in answer to the Butler "explana-

HISTORY STUDENTS
VISIT FORT HALL
Explore Section Likely
to be Affected by.
Reservoir

Some students in local history
spent last Sunday along the bluffs
and in the Fort Hall bottoms, re-
viewing matters of early exploration
and settlement, and estimating flu,
lures as they are likely to be affected
by the proposed American Falls res
ervoir. The party as it went out
of American Falls consisted of Miles
T. Cannon, commissioner of agri-
culture for Idaho; T. c. Elliott,
representing the Oregon Historical
society of Walla Walla; Judge W.
T. Oliver, the first permanent white
settler of American Falls; Walter
Siders, superintendent of the Poca-
tello schools; Walter Siders, Jr.;
Nicholas lift, city editor of the Po-
catello Tribune; C. Y. Wilson of
American Falls, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Byrd Trego and F. c. Kutnewsky
of Blackfoot.
The party started at the monu-
ment, erected by the women's clubs
to mark the principal camp on the
Oregon trail, just above the falls,
and then followed the old trail most
of the way to old Ft. Hall on the
bottoms some thirty-five miles up
the valley. The trail lay along the
top of the bluffs on the east side
Of the river until the crossing of
the Port Neuf is reached, and from
there to Ft. Hall it lay across the
bottoms, a distance of seven or
eight miles. A dam mile long
will obstruct the drainage Of the
valley at American Falls, but the
valley widens so that 1t is from about
FIVE to ten miles wide and carrying

DEMPSEY CLEARED
OF DRAFT EVASION
Jurv Out One Minute
to Decide Fighter
Innocent
(By Universal Servicel

SAN FRANCISCO.-Jack Demp-
sey has been absolutely purged OF
taint of draft evasion.
1t took a jury only one minute OF
actual deliberation Tuesday morning
to decide that the heavyweight
champion of the world had not un-
lawfully evaded the rdaft. The ac,
quittal of Dempsey came as sen,
sational climax to his trial. The re-
suit never was in doubt from the first
day.
Thruout the entire course Of the
trial, which lasted nearly six full
days, the prosecution never produced
one bit of evidence damaging to
dempsey. 1t was Dempsey's fight
all the way; the clearest, cleaneset
cut victory he has achieved thruout
his meteoric career.
"Now they can bring along George
Carpenter" declared Dempsey, al
most as soon as the verdict was an
nounced. THE Frenchman came
here saying it was for the purpose
of fighting me. I'll be ready to give
him a chance any time after abou
thirty days. And if he experiences &
change of mind, why I'll take OF
anybody else that comes along.
"There has been a certain strair
attached to these last few months
I never doubted what the verdict
would be, because my conscience was
clear. l felt that all during the wal
| had done what was right. And
believe the testimony proved that

Will Conduct a Front
Porch" Canvass for
Votes Similar to
Mckinley
FOR QUIET FIGHT
Ohioan Indicates His
Opposition to Barn
storming Methods
(By Universal Service)


WASHINGTON.-Senator Warren
G. Harding has definitely decided to
conduct a front porch" campaign
for the presidency similar to that
carried on by former President Nc
Kinley.
"This can be made as fit state
ment," one of the candidates closest
friends and advisers told the news
paper correspondents after a confer
ence with the Republican stand
bearer Tuesday.
Senator Harding himself virtually
confirmed the statement later in the
day in conversation with Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Colorado, who
called at his office to offer his con-
gratulations.
you've got a lot of sense for a
Democrat" laughingly remarked the
candidate, as he shook hands with
Senator Thomas.
"If we've got to have Republi-
can president, you suit me-" replied
Senator Thomas, "but let me give
>you one parting word of counsel. The
man who stays at home gets elected" !"
"That's my thought, too," Senator
Harding agreed.
"Well, if you do, you may win,'
the Colorado senator added, "but |
am going to tell my candidate the
same thing"
All of Senator Harding's advisers
who have seen him since his NOM
ination said-the friend who author
lied the fiat statement have urged
him to make his campaign along the
same lines which proved successful
for Mckinley. Mrs. Harding has
stated that their home at Marion is
almost encircled by porch of 500
square feet, which offers and excel
lent place for the candidate to meet
delegations.
This does not mean, it was eX-
planned, that Senator Harding will
not make any speeches in other parts
of the country than his home town.
The tentative plan now contemplates
six or eight set speeches in as many
cities, it was said.
For example, he will accept an in
vitation to speak in New York or
Chicago and then return to Marion
Later he will go to San Francisco OF
Los Angeles for a speech and return
to resume his ''home porch cam
paign." This plan will be followed
until the candidate covers all the
territory it is considered necessary
for him to reach personally.
What it is intended to get away
from, it was explained, are barn
storming" tours such as have marked
the more recent presidential cam
paigns. The senator's friends have
advised him that lone night stands
are not in keeping with the dignit!
of a candidate for the highest office
of the land.

SHELLMAN TELLS
OF WORK ON THE =.
BONDED ROADS
Claims Project Not Well
Managed in His Com-
munity; Criticizes
Engineers
ROAD WANTED
Anxious for Good High
ways and Are Will
ing to Pay

Lysander Shelman was in from
Springfield Tuesday, and on being
asked to express his views about
the bond road construction, he said
there were some features about it
that he and his neighbors did not
like. They want roads, and expect
to pay the price, but they dislike to
have things wasted and unnecessary
losses made. Explaining further he
said that a lot of the small bitches
that cross the road in his communi-
ty had undershot pipes of galvanized
iron buried five feet deep, and when
the road graders came along these
were not marked Grading proceed
ed and they were buried still deeper.
No provision was made for extend
ing them to reach under the larger
grade and connect again, and In
some cases the farmers owning the
bitches had to go in and do it them
selves. Not being marked in any
way, it was hard to locate them, and
sometimes 1t took two or three days
work digging trenches along to get
them located, before the work of
connecting them began. He said he
spoke to both engineers about it last
fall, and suggested that the connec-
tions be made first, and that where
new pipes are to be put in, that they
be laid just before grading started,
and that they be buried in position
instead of building the grade and
then digging out the trench and lay
ing the pipes and back filling, but
he received scant courtesy, one OF
the engineers, Mr. Taylor, being
quite discourteous, and retorting
that he (Taylor) was doing this
planning and did not welcome any
butting in. Mr.. Shelman said he
felt rather keenly that kind Of re-
buff when he merely asked civil
questions looking to the protection
of property and saving of losses.
And the way it turned out they not
only suffered the loss Of lot Of
work hunting for buried pipes and
laying new pipes, but the farmers did
not have them to use this spring
when they were. needed and had to
get in and do some Of it themselves
and charge it to the county, most OF
it being unnecessary if it had been
done in an intelligent manner. He
did not see why the surveyor did not
set a marker before the pipes were
buried out of sight, so they could be
located exactly. In some cases flood
