DELEGATIONS SIGN
NAVAL AGREEMENT
Slight Differences are
Finally Settled
Satisfactorily

After the three powers, England
the United States and Japan had
reached agreement over naval
strength and the far eastern ques.
tions they were discussing, and when
they were ready to sign the agree
ment, france was invited to sit with
them and sign with them. France
had not been admitted to the nego-
tiations and it has not been ex-
planned why they were wanted to
sign something which they were not
invited to help frame.
The agreement carries with it the
provision for the French navy to
contain 100000 tons of strength and
Italy 10000 tons, and this is only
about half of what France was ex-
pecting to be allotted. France feels
offended that she was not consulted
in the framing of the agreement, but
it Is not stated that Italy shares that
feeling. For a day or two 1t looked
as If France might balk at the in
dignity and at the small allowance
of naval strength, but by another
unfair maneuver blamed to the
British press, the wishes of France
were made public as If she were de-
manding that amount of naval ton
mage, and France found herself
being placed before the world in the
light of an obstructionist If she did
not accept the Hughes plan thruout
and after a conference at Paris the
delegates at Washington were cabled
to accept. AS to Italy, it does not
suit them very we'll, but they had
been saying that they wanted only
as large a navy as France, and it
is not thought that she will delay
matters for the slight difference in
dicated,

Trappers Bring in
Five Lynx Cats and
Thirteen Coyotes

After trapping on the Morgan pas
ture on the edge OF the lavas for
two weeks, Barrus brothers of
Groyeland, Wednesday came to town
with the pelts of five lynx cats and
thirteen coyotes. On these they have
sent their claim to Boise and will
collect bounty of $3.50 on each.
There are three brothers inter-
ested in the work and Albert Wiki
inson and while they have been haul
ing wood they would set their traps
and on returning for more wood they
visited the traps and collected the
victims.
They have discovered a method of
their own in trapping out there and
it seems to be working very salts
factorily and they have caught as
many as four coyotes in one day
from comparatively small territory.

OFFICERS ELECTED
BY LEGION POST
Every Member Get
Member is Slogan
Adopted

Monday evening the American
Legion Post No. 23 held their an
nual election Of officers and Mark B.
Tuohy was unanimously chosen post
: commander for the year 1922; Dan
Brill was elected vice commander;
James Johnston, adjutant; Leslie
Wilson, historian; Max Brill, master
alarms, and Oscar Christensen,
chaplain. Following the election it
was decided that the newly elected
officers would be installed as soon
after Monday, January 2, as possible,
that being the date of the next regu-
lar meeting and also holiday the
installation will take place some
other evening during the week.
There were about forty ex-service
men present and all were given the
right to vote IL they signified their
intention of becoming members of
the local post and paid their dues for
next year. This was the first step
taken in the every member get a
member campaign. Every member
get a member, being the slogan of
the national drive that was carried
on the past fall. The local post
wants to get in touch with every ex-
service man in the county and they
want his name on their list, so if
there are any men in the county that
wore the blue or the olive drab for
Uncle Sam that are not receiving
notices of the meeting of the post
they should notify adjutant Fred
Kennedy or give some member their
address and they will be placed on
the mailing list.
The matter of whether the post
should retain the hall for another
year or sub-lease 1t to private parties
that wish to use the dance privilege
was discussed and a committee con-
sisting Of James Johnston, Dan Brill,
Wilbur Allen, Mark Touhy and Will
Parkinson were appointed to con-
slider offers for the use of the hall
and to learn the cost of some other
suitable quarters.
There are a number of ex-service |
men out of employment at present
and the legion members are on the
lookout for jobs for their buddies
and when good man is needed, one
that has been tried, just notify the
post commander as he has a. long
waiting list.

LOST RIVER LOST
CHRISTMAS MEATS
Local Firm Notified that
Birds are Free
to Return

Some time ago George Dore, man
ager of the Central Meat market a,
Blackf00t was approached to buy
a quantity of turkeys and geese
from Little Lost river and the,
agreed as to time of delivery anC
other particulars.
About week ago George had g
phone call at / 1 o'clock at night, and
a voice informed him that the tur.
keys and geese were now in town
and had just arrived by truck. They
were quite warm and uncomfortable
in the enclosed truck and would
George come down and weigh and
receive them now so they could be
relieved from their close quarters in
the truck.
George slipped out of his mighty
and into his clothes and went down
to the market and started to weigh
ing the fowls when the sheriff from
Butte county arrived and took pos
session Of the men and the outfit,
saying he would require their pres
ence at Arco.
The following morning when the
officer and the men and the fowls
had been duly refreshed from the
fat of the land and after each and
several of them had partaken of
fluid in sufficient quantity to tide
them over the desert wastes, the Of
ficer and his prisoners and the pris-
oners' pen of prisoners or alleged
contraband shook the dust of Black
foot from their feet and took on
some of the dust of Butte county
and more especially the brand of
dust in stock at the county seat of
Arco town.
Our informant does not say
whether any and several of the
travelling band or alleged banditti
succumbed to weariness or thirst
while negotiating the shifting sands
of the, Snake river desert, but by
Wednesday morning of this week
the sheriff rang Manager Dore to
say that the geese were rested and
refreshed on the fat of the Lost
river valley and were ready to brave
the dangers Of the desert and to
again visit the Grove City and the
sunny sanitary pens of the Central
Market, and II need be, to grace the
tables of : any Blackfooters,. who
might prefer to carve muchly
travelled birds at Christmas time.
He assured Mr.. Dore that passports
had been issued for the fowls and
that SO far as he knew they would
have right of track clear into Black
foot. They arrived on the afternoon,
train, but the turkeys were evidently
to attend further .ses-
sions Of the court, and may get in in
time for the: fanals Christmas day.

Santa Claus Met
By Large Crowd
This Afternoon

On Thursday afternoon Sants
Claus arrived on the southbouni
train and was met at the depot by
several hundred children besides
many grown-ups, and a reception
committee consisting Of Drs. Flod.
quist and Brown, Mayor Peck, rep.
resentatives of the press and others.
and they escorted Santa from the
train to the fine sleigh provided for
the party. It was drawn by four
beautiful Jet black horses owned by
Eugene Hale and Charlie Packham.
Led by the high school band they
paraded the streets, and Santa Claus
visited the Brown-Eldredge Furni-
ture store, The Republican office,
The News office and the Seeger-
Bundle store and Eccles hotel, and
then finished at the offices of Drs.
Flodquist & Brown, who had staged
the event. +.
Before the parade started they
distributed hundreds of horns and
paper pipes with screamers in them,
and few dozen rattlers. After the
parade, dollar-bills were. handed to
all the band boys and tickets were
given to the children. Each ticket
draws present If presented at the
offices OF Drs. Flodquist & Brown on
Friday or Saturday.
A feature OF the occasion was that
owing to the jam of the great crowd
1t required much caution to get the
passenger train into town without
grazing the crowd at the depot, and
it was with great difficulty that the
tickets could be distributed after the
parade. All members of the recep-
tion committee worked faithfully in
the distribution and still there were
many who did not get into the lines
where tickets were handed out.
Santa Claus will be on duty about
town all day Friday and Saturday.
Mayor Peck presented him with the
key to the city, and it Is supposed to
open all the doors in town. He is
doing his best to see all the children,
and especially those that are Ill or
unable to 60 out to meet him. He
has many personal calls slated for
Just this kind Of boys and girls.
