Fire Smolders for
Many Hours Before
Being Discovered

Fire destroyed q strawpile at
Joseph Merrill's farm at Rockford on
Monday afternoon. 1t was where
they had been threshing alfalfa seed
and about sixty tons of the chopped
up stalks or chaff were left. The
machine was operated by a steam
engine and work was finished on
Saturday evening and the machine
removed.
un Monday afternoon at about
$50 fire was observed at the place
and those who hurried to the scene
observed that the fire had started at
the point where the engine had
stood, and had burned large patch
in the thin coat of dust and chaft
lying on the ground before it reached
where it was coated thick enough to
carry a blaze. The supposition is
that a spark left by the engine, lay
smouldering for thirty or forty hours
before 1t made smoke. There was
no wind, and it ate its way in all
directions where the film of dust
would afford it foothold.
All Of the alfalfa seed had been
removed as fast as 1t was threshed
and there was no loss excepting the
chaff, which has feed value.

Yankees Win First
Two Games Of World
Series From Giants

Two games of the worlds series
have now been played between the
New York Yankees and the New
York Giants. The Yankees have been
victorious in both, winning each
game with three to nothing score.
The batteries Wednesday for the
Giants were Douglas and Snyder, for
today Nehf and Smith. The Yanks
battery Wednesday was Mays and
Schang, today Hoyt and Schang.
The Yanks got seven hits of
Douglas Wednesday and nine off
Nehf today.
The Giants nicked Mays for five
hits and Hoyt for two. Freisch play
ing third base for the Giants re-
ceived four of their five hits We'd
,nesday, one of them being triple.
Thursday he singled and Rawlings
received the other single.
Babe Ruth is without doubt the
center of attraction both at the plate
and in left field. But he shocked the
fans Wednesday when Douglas high
fly hit his mitt and bounced out,
Ruth, however, recovered 1t before
it hit the ground. He singled in
Wednesdays game and brought in
the first run and the second time to
bat he was walked but struck out
twice after the sixth inning. In to-
days game Nehf walked him three
times and he reached first in the
eighth inning on fielders choice.

Lyceum Directors
Meet at High School
Tuesday Evening

The committee in charge of the
lyceum course for 1922 met at
the high school building Tuesday
evening, Oct. 4 and discussed plans
for handling this years series of en-
tertainments. Blackfoot is fortunate
in it's dates this year in that we will
have no numbers coming on Satur-
day night.
The sale of season tickets was
planned and will begin Saturday,
Oct. 8. Altho the course is costing
more this year than last, the price of
season tickets has been reduced with
the hope that more will be sold and
that this years course will reach
more people. The three musical
numbers will be held in the L. D. s.
tabernacle thus assuring all who
wish to attend, good comfortable
seat. The two lecture numbers will
be given in the high school auditor
ium.
The price of season tickets this
year will be 81 for adults and 81 for
students. The committee is bring
ing to you this year an ex-
cellent course and you are
earnestly requested to give them
your hearty patronage by buy
ing one or more season tickets when
you are approached by the ticket
sellers. The reduction in price of all
tickets is SO cents from last years. s
price.

MANY PEOPLE WANT
FAIR SECRETARY.
E.: ]. Fjeldsted Judges
Livestock; Offered
Other Positions

Ezra Fjeldsted, secretary OF the
Southeastern Idaho Fair, has~been In
demand for some time to go to other
localities to act as judge of stock at
fairs. He has been so busy at Black
foot he had to decline most OF these
offers, but he went to Salt Lake for
a part Of this week at their state fair.
Mr.. Fjeldsted has held some good
positions in Oregon and has declined
requests to return to them. Last
month he had flattering offer to go
to Twin Falls as county agent, but
he turned it down like the others,
because he is interested in large
farm near Blackfoot in connection
with his brother, and he feels that
he has either got to give up his own
enterprise here or give up working
away from home for others, and he
will stay with Bingham county.
The directors of the fair were Of
the opinion that he is the man they
want for their secretary, and have
engaged him to remain on the job 80
much of the time as there is any
thing needing his attention. It Is
not full years job, and really only
requires constant attention for about
three months. The rest Of the time
there are matters to be done, that
are important, but taking only
periodical time. The board felt that
they could not afford to pay him
what his ability would command,
and he said that he wanted to- do
their work and take what they
thought they were justified in pay
ing, so the price was fixed at $1,000
year, payable after the work, is
done. -

SCOTT'S CARAVAN
Will HOLD FAST J
Caravaners. Place Entire
Faith in Word of
Governor

SCOTS caravan Is not 'buSted up.
It is not going to be. The settlers
are disappointed little perhaps, BY
the distance from market. They
did not expect the Salmon canyon
to be so much of barrier as they
now think it is. But they are put.
ting implicit faith in the word Of
the governor and the reclamation
commissioner of Idaho that the land
and the water are o. K. They are
relying on the state farm experts to
start them right and they are deter
mined to succeed.
George A. Taber, Brooklyn civil
engineer and member of the cara
van, brought this message to Boise
Friday. Mr.. Taber has been with
the caravan since it left Brooklyn
July %, but never intended taking
up land on the tract, he says. He.
his wife and three sons will continue
their trip thru Washington, Oregon,
California, southern United States
and back to Brooklyn. Mr.. Taber
says he will return to Idaho and
take up land in a year il he is able
to close UP his personal affairs.
'The governor said the price OF
$125 an acre was right and just
said Mr.. Taber, "and the state en-
gineers said the water supply was
sufficient and the land was good
What more could be asked? 1t was
not possible for each and every men,
ber to make an investigation of the
lands. The word of the state OF
Idaho was taken as promise and
with the exception of the distance
everything has been found just as ii
was pictured"
Emphatically denying the rumor
that members of the caravan had
never been told about the canyon
across which they must go to get to
the lands, the Brooklyn engineer
said:
"Eevery man, woman and child
who came to Idaho in the caravan
knew there was a canyon to cross.
The state furnished pictures of it
Of the road down to it, of the bridge
crossing the Salmon river and of the
road leading up the other side.
think, however, that the pictures did
not show the bigness of the gap and
when the caravaners saw it in nature
the magnitude of it frightened some
Of them. But the canyon should be
no drawback. I know it will not
bother me if I come back and take
up land on the tract"
Mrs. Taber did not think so kindly
toward the yawning chasm.
"But that canyon!" she exclaimed,
II am afraid of it,"
That and the distance from town
were the only objections voiced by
the woman caravaner. Otherwise she
said, she was highly pleased with
what they found and was only sorry
it was not to be their future home
right now.

MANY PRIZES WON
BY IDAHO BREEDER
Duroc Jerseys Will Rep
resent Idaho at Live
stock Shows

What Is thought to be a state
record for prize winning at various
fairs, by fair officials, was hung VI
last Thursday when the Richards
Livestock company of Virginia. Ida
took FIVE out of six Of the highest
prizes in the swine department
They were awarded grand champion
boar, grand champion sow, senior
champion boar, senior champion
sow and junior champion SOW
and were awarded eleven first
prizes in all classes barring
the futurity class, in fifteen
classes in which first prizes were
given. In line with these prizes
which were agreed upon by two
judges, the swine exhibit is said to
be the largest showing of swine held
in the northwest with an entry OF
twenty-six exhibitors competing.
The Richards swine Of Duroc
Jersey breed took all grand cham.
pion and champion prizes at the
Montana state fair, held September
IL, and with the exception Of one
first prize took the entire first prize
class at that fair. From the Montana
state fair at Helena, the prize win
ming hogs were shipped to Blackfoot,
where the fair for the southeastern
part of Idaho was held. Here they
were awarded four champions and
thirteen first prizes in seventeen
classes.
Due to the number of prizes won
by this stock it is the belief of Of
ticials that the Richards stock will
be Idaho's representative at the live
stock shows to be held in other
states of the northwest. Jesse s.
Richards, manager of the firm, will
leave with his exhibit Saturday for
Salt Lake, where he has entered his
stock to compete in the Utah state
fair. From there the stock will go
to Spokane, where they will be en-
tered in the Western Royal Live
stock show. They will be shipped
from there to. Portland, where the
swine have been entered In the
Pacific International Livestock show,
and will round up their prize win
ming career at the Ogden Livestock
show to be held IN January.
The Richards swine last year won
326 prizes of which 1877 were cham
pions and first prizes at the state
fairs of Utah, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Montana. Virginia, the
home of these champions, is thirty
five miles south of Pocatello, on the
main line Of The 0. s. L. Mr.. Rich
ards, the manager of this stock, was
formerly member of the Idaho leg
islature during the. last term Of
former Governor Moses Alexander.

ROAD MAN VISITS
HERE this WEEK
Blackfoot Boys Building
Highways in
Oregon

w. G. Stone, the man who was
superintendent of construction dur
ing the time we were building our
bond roads, came in from Weiser and
Boise Tuesday, and spent the day in
town. He is engaged in building
roads between Weiser and Ontario,
Ore. and between Telocaset and
North Powder, Ore. and remarked
that he has some of the Blackfoot
boys with him. Ralph Dayly was
with him, but came home recently.
Sidney Dayly, Tommy Johnson, Jack
Gardner, Will and Herbert Neider
and Oma Dyer are among the num-
ber. Dyer Is foreman Of gang and
is developing into quite a mastery
manager of men. He rose to q fore
manship while working for Mr.. Stone
in this county, and has held his sta
tion and not only made good with
Mr.. Stone, but with the highway en-
gineers and members Of the commits
sion with whom he comes in contact.
Dyer is making good salary and
seems to like his work. With world
Of roads to build, Mr.. Stone says it
is quite likely that Dyer will rise
because he is wide awake fellow.
Mr.. Stone says they are making
roads in Oregon with crushed gravel
topcoat, and as soon as a section of
it is finished it is turned over to the
department Of road maintenance,
and is treated to whatever it needs.
If 1t is dry, as most of it is, they be-
gin sprinkling and dragging it. In
any event they keep going over 1t
with drag and truck, filing in any
sinks or holes or ruts as soon as they
start to develop.
Mr.. Stone says he is sorry to see
Bingham county let its roads lie
without any effort at maintenance,
and believes that it Is a penny-wise
and pound-foolish policy. He be-
lieves a man going over the road to
drop some filler into holes at the
start is just right to save more ex-
pense later on, besides keeping the
road in condition to render good SER
vice to the travelling public. He says
that some such road man as Ralph
Dayly could at an expense of about
$500 month for wages, gas and
tools, keep at least twenty miles of
roads in good order, and that there
must be other good road men In the
county open to engagements who
would take pride in their work and
do it we'll.
Mr.. Stone says he liked Blackfoot
so we'll that when he was ready to
move away he hated to do It. He
said he made some friends along
with all the natural opposition. and
he liked the business houses and the
town in general and would have been
glad to retain his residence here, but
that he knows road work and little
else, and he had to 60 where roads
were to be made. That compelled
him to move on, but altho his work
is now out of the state he still does
his banking at Blackfoot just be-
cause he likes the way they treat him
in the bank, and because he thinks
it is good safe bank.

Commercial Club
Will Meet Tonight
Regarding Project

A meeting Of the Commercial
club has been called for this Thurs
day evening to receive information
regarding what has been accom-
plished for the Greater Ft. Hall pro-
ject and to plan some of the next
work.
This is one Of the largest and best
projects in the state and can be put
across largely with government ap-
propriations and capital advanced by
the land owners, and the friends of
the project In Washington report
report that its prospects are very
bright for early attention Of con-
gress.
The accomplishment of this pro-
ject means more to Blackfoot than
another railroad would mean for the
town, and il we had chance to get
a thru line that would make us a
railroad center in that respect it
would be easy to get the whole town
out to hear reports on it.

GRAIN ELEVATORS
TO RECEIVE WHEAT
American Farmers Will
Give Five Million
Bushels

For every ten bushels of wheat
now being given by South Idaho's
farmers to fight starvation in Ar.
menia and Bible lands, one child
can be kept alive for seven months
Harry s. Kessler of Boise, state
chairman of the Near East relief
committee, gives this stimulating
assurance in an announcement sent
this week thruout Idaho, where
every farmer is asked to give bit
of his crop before October Is to help
check hunger's appalling levy upon
the life Of Near East races.
Famine and disease are right
now exacting such terrific toll in
Armenia and southern Russia" de-
clares Mr.. Kessler, "that in many OF
our relief centers the dead wagons
have to make two regular rounds
daily, gathering up the dead from
among the starving. They dump
them by whole loads into great holes
burying them without ceremony.
Unknown thousands of men,
women and little children, without
food or homes, no place to stay or
to sleep, but in the open fields and
streets are appealing to us for help,
which our present resources do not
enable US to give.
"South Idaho's share in the ma
tional effort by American farmers
to send five million bushels of grain
from this years harvest to relieve
these conditions, is the gift of twelve
carloads of wheat. Every grain
warehouse and elevator is an author
lied receiving station for the gifts.
There is an average of 1400
bushels of wheat to the carload.
"Then bushels OF wheat will keep
the average child, gathered into the
protection of our orphanages, alive
for seven months.
Think then, what wonderful
piece of humanitarian work can be
achieved If the wheatgrowers Of
south Idaho, alone, measure up to
the mark of charity set for them
1880 little children wrested from the
clutches of starvation and saved for
the new era of rehabilitation and
Christian reconstruction in that
country, the longest suffering of all
lands"

YOUTH IS TAUGHT
ORDINARY TRADES
Visit to Industrial
School Discloses In
teresting Facts

A short visit to the state Indus
trial school at st. Anthony in the lat
ter part of August revealed some
interesting things that we wish to
share with our readers, and that is
the reason for this article. 1
This is an institution built and
maintained by the state for the bene-
1T of boys and girls, whose home life
has not been successful, and whose
value is recognized and by careful
training they are given advantages
not found in the average school and
the average home. Many of the
boys and girls who are in the institu-
tion are there because of their un-
usual talents or unusual energy that
have not been we'll directed, and
when given careful direction and
wide opportunity for development
they become highpowered men and
women.
w. D. Vincent, formerly the city
superintendent of the Blackfoot
schools, is the manager of the in
stitdtion, and he takes keen inter-
est in the features just described,
leading to the reclamation of youth,
and finding and developing their
greatest talents, and training the
hand for as many useful activities
as possible He takes the view that
every young person possesses the
germs and natural inclinations to
good work and honesty and service
to their fellow men, and that by
recognizing this principle and cater
ing to whatever spark Of it they
possess, they build up characters of
adamant and ambition to energize
their activities.
They are taught all the ordinary
trades and methods of doing work
in the home and on the farm, and SO
much as they can of business, besides
all the accomplishments possible.
Those who are inclined to music are
provided with instruments and in
struction; those who are inclined to
drawing or painting or fancy work
are given opportunity commensurate
with their willingness and ability.
They are instructed that while work
ing at many different things they are
expected to find things they like bet
ter than others, and that when they
have finally decided upon the kind of
work they like better than anything
else, that is the thing that he or she

COUNCIL PASSES
ON MONTHLY BILLS
New Water System Will
Be Completed By
November

The city council met Tuesday
evening to consider the monthly
bills and whatever other business
that should come up at this time. In
glancing at the bills piled on the
clerks desk it could be seen that
there would not be time for much
other business.
The bills had been gone over pre-
vious to the meeting by the finance
committee, but there were some that
had been left for the council as a
body to. decide upon. One of these
was a bill from the Bingham Electric
company, for fisshlight, batteries
and globes which had been pur-
chased by the police officers, for a
period extending over several
months. This bill was referred back
to the Bingham Electric company. D.
H. Biethan presented bill for $50
for damages that his car suffered
when it went into trench for the
new water system on West Pacific
street near Maple. Mr.. Biethan
stated there was no light or barrier
there to stop or warn anyone driv-
ing on the street. This bill was not
allowed because the council thought
that the city was not at fault in the
matter.
The Nelson Manufacturing COM
pany presented. a bill for material
delivered to%fhe city for the parking
on Shilling AVE-. The bill was held
up last month, because of some fault
of the company's in presenting it.
This month it was presented in a
corrected form and certain amount
charged for interest. The finance
committee in going over the bills
allowed this one for the amount of
the material received, but they were
indisposed when it came to paying
interest in such matter.
1t was then moved and seconded
that the report of the finance COM.
mittee be accepted and the city clerk
be directed to draw the warrants.
Review Bills
Along with the councils intention
of cutting expenses to the quick, they
went over all the bills that were
turned in this month to see il there
were any that could be eliminated
from appearing at future meetings.
All were gone over carefully, but it
was. decided in running the business

Threshing Machine
Goes Thru Bridge
Over Peoples Canal

Delzer Brothers threshing ma
chine when thru the bridge over the
Peoples Canal west of Moreland
Tuesday morning. There was no one
hurt, but about fifty feet of bridge
was destroyed. There are I've
stringers each six by eight inches in
size and three of these gave way al
lowing the engine to fall into the
stream. Mr.. Delzer was ahead Of
the machine in his car and on hear
ing the crash stopped his car and ran
back to the. engine where he found
that the engineers clothing was
caught in some cogs. When the en-
CINE fell It had thrown the throttle
open and the quick action Of Mr..
Delzer IN closing 1t saved the en-
gineer from what might have re-
suited in serious injury.
