HOME RUN CINCHES
GAME FOR LOCALS
Long Drive With Bases
Full is Feature of
Sundays s Game

Any ball team can win a ball game
occasionally, but it takes real
bunch Of players to step out and win
from the umpire and opposing team
together. But such was the case in
Idaho Falls Sunday and the Bronks
returned victorious by six to three
score.
Idaho Falls and Pocatello are tied
for first place with 571 and they have
two postponed games each. Black
foot has percentage of 555 and
Rexburg last with 333.
Williams pitched fine ball for the
local team and allowed but five hits
while Galloway pitching for the
Shamrocks was nicked for six hits.
Blackfoot made one run in the
first inning when Conger singled.
DeKay sacrificed and Simmons
clouted out long drive, but was
caught at the plate trying to stretch
it into a home run following Conger.
1t was home run hit, but superb
fielding and Jordan's throw from
short, stopped another score at that
stage of the game.
In the fifth lining Owens reached
first on Lenzi's overthrow and
Thorstenberg walked, Williams hit
a fly to centerfield and Flitton drop
ped it. Conger's hit was f1elded and
an attempt made to throw Owens
out at the plate, but he scored when
Snarp dropped the ball.
Simmons was feeling hurt because
he had failed to score in the first
inning and he came to the plate and
knocked fouls all over the lot be-
fore he picked out the spot where
he would knock a fair ball. He fin
ally decided he would lift it over the
cars in left field and that is where it
went. While the ball was travelling
into the field and back the boys on
the bases came in and so did Sim

During Fair
Week

There is an old proverb that says,
Where there is no vision the people
PERISH but the people Of Bingham
county have vision concerning the
fair grounds and it is not likely to
perish soon. Last week we put out
a call for new colors Of hollyhocks
and Mrs. Wallace Clark responded
saying she had some cream colors
she would supply seeds and plants
from.
Ernest Pearson, the grocer, wired
us that he has $50 of fair stock that
he wants the committee to use, and
then he dug up $3.50 worth more
that he owns in the Carbon County
Fair association of Saratoga, Wyo.,
and he handed that in with his COM
pliments. He said that if he ran
across any more fair stock he would
wire us, as he is in favor of keeping
it all at work if it can be made to
grow decorations.
F. j. Stone, cashier Of the. Black
foot City bank, D. A. Jenkins, the
man who drives his car over mount
aims in high gear, and George A..
Line of the pure seed farms, have
looked over the fairgrounds and de-
cided to turn in $100 apiece for the
improvement of the triangle lying
outside of the fence at the front en-
frances. They noticed that with
peas and hOllyhOckS decorating the

D. A. Jenkins accompanied him in

such a performance.
Mr.. Quillin said he made one mis-

LEGION IN FAVOR
OF CASH PAYMENT
American Citizens for
All Public Work; Op-
pose Sunday Closing

American Legion delegates in ses-
sion at the state convention at Kel-
logg Friday unanimously passed a
resolution directing the drafting of a
state compensation bill to be pre-
sented at the seventeenth session of
the legislature carrying cash pay
ment and loan features.
The convention went on record as
disappearing the action of the state
senate of the sixteenth session in de-
feating the measure for support of the
state historical collection and auth
orized that the defeated measure be
introduced at the next session.
Considerable discussion has taken
place condemning the failure Of
Idahos delegation in congress to
support the adjusted compensation
bill.
Resolutions adopted urge congress
and state legislatures to enact laws
to prohibit aliens to lease land or
work on land until they have taken
out first papers and to give prefer
ence to American citizens on all pub
lie work, opposing all Sunday clos
ing and anticigaret legislation; re-
affirming the legion's stand to sup
port the California immigration
policy; ask that the hospital at Boise
be turned over to the public health
service by the war department, di-
rects that a.. publicity bureau be
created and, that the press be re-
quested to discontinue special mem
ton of service men with criminal
records.

best chance of securing the 1922 con-

Successful Opium
Raid is Staged
in Boise Thursday

In raid on the Chinese Gardens
in Boise Thursday night $4,000
worth of opium was captured by the
sheriff of Ada county assisted by a
federal agent from Denver. Twenty
five eight ounce cans of opium and
the paraphernalia which goes with
this form of drug using were taken
in the raid.
Four Chinese were found in the
gardens and were placed under ar
rest. It is the belief Of the federal
agent that the entire supply Of one
Of the two large Chinese drug deal
ers was captured in this seizure.
The official thinks that large por-
tion Of the narcotic supply comes
from Salt Lake and Boise is used as
wholesale center for large part
Of the state.

Farm Near Glenore
is Scene of Many
Beautiful Sunsets

H. B. Daniels came in from his
dry farm near Glenore Saturday and
left for San Francisco. He said he
had enjoyed his vacation and was
surprised at the amount Of improve
ments that his wife and her lady
companion had made at the farm.
He says it is a pretty place in the
midst of groves of the quaking aspen
where they have the most beautiful
sunsets he ever saw.
Mr.. Daniels says he likes his work
with the government, but he can see
that he is already getting little
lonely for Idaho again and he has
little doubt that the yearning will
increase. He thinks it quite likely
that he will come back sooner or
later and 60 into business in Black
foot, but not the garage business as
he was before. He did not find it to
his liking. E

Idaho Baking Spuds
Draw Record Prices
q on Eastern Market

How would Idaho farmers like to
sell their potatoes at from 25 to 35
cents each? #te!@
At New Brighton, N. va suburb
of New York City, special Idaho
baking "spuds" were sold during the
winter season at from IS to 35 cents
each by retail grocerymen dealing in
fancy groceries. True it is that each
potato was deliberately wrapped in
the finest of tissue paper and ad-
vertised as a special Idaho baking
potato.
This is the report contained in a
letter from Cowles Andrus, former
Round valley rancher near Challis
who Is now resident of New
Brighton. He said that, despite the
phenomenal price, the demand was
greater than for the lower priced
local product. The betissued Idaho
potatoes are, of course, of uniform
size and backed by live wire or
ganization of more than ordinary
advertising genius.

Asylum Buildings
Are Now in Course
of Construction

Two new buildings are in course
of erection at the asylum one at the
rear of the main institution for the
criminally insane. 1t is two stories
high and built of concrete thruout.
The other building is one of a
number of similar units included in
plan for adding one building after
another, all making complete sys-
TEN. The one now being erected is
known as the psychopathic ward,
where the new patients are received
and their cases studied and dag
nosed. The theory to be followed
is that a high percentage Of insane
persons can be cured If proper treat
ment is commenced in time.
A great many cures are effected
by relaxing the nerves with warm or
hot baths that induce sleep and rest
and bring the patient into normal
condition in short time and then
by careful nourishment and exercise
and pleasant surroundings they
mend rapidly instead of going on in
violence as they are apt to do when
put into restraint as has been done
so much under the old methods.
DR.. C. A. Hoover, the medical
superintendent has been working on
the plans for couple of years and
bringing to his aid the best authority
obtainable. The last legislative ap-
propriated $4,000 for the new
buildings and for some improve
ments in the old ones to make them
tolerable until the new units can be
put into use.
The contract was let to the Baum
Construction company Of Ogden and
it is expected that both buildings
will be completed for use next
winter.

Attempt is Made in
Pocatello to Bribe
Police and Sheriff

POCATELLO, Ida.--G. Akiyama,
Japanese proprietor of the Oriental
Palace, noodle and chop suey place
on East Center street, is being held
on a charge Of attempting to bribe
Chief of Police Bendixson and
George E. Mabey, sheriff Of Bannock
county, into furnishing his establish
ment protection.
Akiyama and his desire to estab-
lish card tables in his ablishment,
which is in rather secluded base
ment, first came to light shortly after
the entrance of the new city admin
istration. His request to operate
four tables was denied by the city
council upon recommendation Of
Chief Bendixson. Following the re-
fusal Of the city council to grant the
license, Akiyama acquainted himself
with one Of the city detectives and
opened negotiations for protection,
it is charged, asking the detective to
make arrangements with Chief
Bendixson and Sheriff Mabey.
Akiyama is said to have told the
detective he would give $50 each to
Sheriff Mabey and Chief Bendixson
the first month and If conditions
were suitable he would give them
5000 per month thereafter, together
with side money to the officers. The
Jap visited the police station We'd
nesday evening and handed one OF
the detectives a roll Of $50, leaving
hurriedly, stating he would return
later. Sheriff Mabey was notified.
Thursday morning he was on the
job and visited Sheriff Mabey, giving
him the first months "renumera-
tion," but the sheriff had witnesses
posted to watch the transaction and
after the $50 changed hands
Akiyama was arrested.

traffic manager for the Union
Pacific system, who was IN Salt Lake
a few hours yesterday en- route to
Portland. There is good potato
crop over most of the east and south
altho it has failed in some places IN
the middle west. Last year there
was the biggest potato crop on
record, this country yielding 72,OOo'-
600 bushels more than the average
for the last ten years. This year the
crop will be just about the ten-yeaI
average, probably a little above III
Mr.. Robinson said, that the re-
duced rates for potatoes in Idaho are
permanent and not temporary. ne
added that the figures as given did
not seem large, but that it would be
a material saving for the large snip

price on new potatoes is better now

Last year they sold for 80 cents

about $1.25.
But it is the apple crop that Will
prove profitable for the growers OF
the intermountain country. rms Is

not more than 40 per cent of normal
The fruit growers Of Idaho are being
offered SIS a ton more for their
orchard run than they received last
year. We have made a reduction IN
the freight rate on apples, which
amounts to about $50 a carload from
the intermountain country to points
east of Chicago.
"There is no such thing as getting
the freight rates settled, for they will
REQUIRE constant adjustment to Keep
up with changes in times and condl-
tions. For instance, the reduction
on potatoes was necessary because
the growers there were not gettlng
an even break with those OF COLORADO
on the eastern market. But frelght
rates are not the only things to be
adjusted and they cannot be justly
blamed for everything.
