of Garden creek, east of Blackfoot,
last week by cattle rider and which
was brought in by Coroner e. T.
Peck and Deputy Sheriff Ezell, have
been identified by Superintendent
Hoover of the asylum, as those of

found with the remains was of the
kind worn by the inmates and carried

of the local institution. Asylum
records show the escape of one of
the inmates, Roy Truitt by name,
two years ago this summer. DR..
Jackson, local physician, who was
superintendent at the time, recalls
the incident, and states that Truitt
had made previous escape but was
captured. The second escape, which
was made by removing window graf

ther was heard from him. 1t is be-
lieved beyond doubt that the remains
are those of Truitt.
Truitt was from Missouri and, his
relatives have been communicated
with. The remains have been in

MERCHANTS TRIP
TO AMERICAN FALLS
Business Men Planning
Trip to Reservoir
City

Plans are progressing for the eX-
cursion of Blackfoot business men to
American Falls some day soon after
the election. The indications are
that they will go down by way of
Aberdeen and return by way of Fort
Hall bottoms or the Oregon trail
leading along the bluffs above the
bottoms. 1t is expected that Judge
Oliver of American Falls will accom-
pany the party part way back to
point out some of the historic places
along the bluffs overlooking the
bottoms.
Interest in the trip is growing and
the indications are that the Black
foot delegation will start in the
the morning and make day of it,
making short stops at every trading
point along the way between Black
foot and American Falls. 1t is likely
that the drainage commission will
accompany them and ask them to
spend an hour on the way inspecting
the proposed drainage system below
Sterling. Few, if any of the Black
foot men aside from the drainage
commission appreciate the import
ance of this district, it is great un-
productive spot in the county that is
not only useless because it does not
produce, but it is damage because
it is in the way.
The rounl trip making the circuit
of the reservoir will be about 120
miles. The reservoir will be mar
rowest and deepest near American
Falls, but broader farther north
ward. The reservoir will reach about
eighteen miles from north to south
across the sections of land and about
thirteen miles east and west. 1t
covers most Of Fort Hall bottoms,
places the Ferry butte at the shore
line, cuts close to Springfield and
Sterling and within about a mile of
Aberdeen at it's nearest approach.
Mr.. Stufflebeam of the Bingham
Abstract company has map of it
in his office and is preparing an abb
stract of every piece of land in Bing-
ham county that is included in the
reservoir.

FARM BUREAU MEETS
TO REORGANIZE WORK
Larger Scope of Work
Discussed by
Executives

Those present at roll call: Presi-
dent, G. A. Line; secretary, Forest
Bales and Everett Green, R. X.
Wilkie and Farley Price. Rufus
Babcock came in later.
The farm bureau is being reorgan-
lied and considerable time was spent
in discussing the enlarged scope of
the work. 1t is to include plans for
marketing for at least the four prin-
cipal crops, wheat, potatoes, sugar
beets and livestock, not for the pur-
pose of destroying the business of the
middleman but for the purpose of
simplifying it so that one man can
handle what two or three or four
handle under the present competitive
system and so that the movement of
products can be concentrated under
one management and sold to better
advantage besides being shipped to
better advantage. An organization
that has everything tabulated so that
they know what there is in the
county of certain kind of quality
that is ready for shipment at a given
time can handle it to better advantage
than an number of buyers acting in
dependently, none of whom are close
enough in touch with the products to
know where it is and what it is.
The new sphere of work calls for
an enlarged membership at an in
creased membership fee of $25 per
year instead of 81 per year.
Interested in Teachers Institute
There was short discussion as to
what might be done to cooperate
with the Commercial club and others
In Blackfoot in putting on the teach
ers institute in October, 1921. Editor
Trego was present and said that he
had presumed somewhat upon the
availability of the resources of the
county and asked whether it was not
practical to have the boys and girls
clubs to cooperate with the Black
foot Commercial club in supplying
quantities of such products as Hub
bard squash for baking, pumpkins
for making pumpkin pies, and per-
1aps some could be supplied thru the
parties furnishing the feeding ac-
for the teachers dur
ng the institute and have them
good.
Forest Bales said that as the town
was putting up money to further the
institute he thought 1t only fair that
he farmers furnish pumpkin pies,
baked squash and such things as
hey could to help out that special
svent. He suggested featuring
pies one day, baked squash
spare ribs another. chicken
linners another day and organizing
he source Of supply in such way
hat everybody whether private
houses, hotels, cafes or special eat
ng houses like the church dinners
organized especially for that week
