IMPROVEMENT BIDS
HEARD BY COUNCIL
Resolutions Presented
by Commercial
Club

AT the regular meeting of the city
council held Tuesday evening reso-
luton adopted by the Commercial
club were presented asking the c0un-
Gil to take immediate steps to have
the silent police removed from the
street Intersections and that they be
replaced by buttons.
The Commercial club further
urged that the council have signs
placed at the south, west and north
entrances to the city directing tour
lists to the city park. They also
recommended that the city ordinance
and the state law be enforced regard
ing the age limit of autombile
drivers.
This matter was referred to the
street and alley committee who will
report at the next meeting.
The question of replacing blocks
fifteen, sixteen and seventeen in the
state addition was brought before
the council and the matter was re-
ferred to the improvement committee
for investigation and to report at the
next meeting.
The park attendant was given the
powers Of police by the law and
order committee and their action was
sanctioned by the council.
The city council has been able to
dispose of most of the bonds issued
on the new water system at 90 cents
on the dollar, but owing to the re-
cent decline in the bond market they
have been unable to sell the bonds
at satisfactory price, however, they
were given the opportunity to dis
pose of about $4,000 worth Of
bonds at SO cents. The finance COM
mittee brought the question before
the council whether this opportunity
should be taken or not. The bond
market at present does not look very
favorable and the council decided to
hold the bonds until a better price
was offered.
The bids for the installation Of the
new heating system and for the
other improvements were then
heard. Boyle and Glassburn pre-
sented a bid of $1996.5O for the in
stallation of the heating system. The
bid of Clark Bros. Plumbing & Heat
ing was $1845.
The bids on the improvements
were Marcus Mester, $1485; d. A.
Jenkins, $3.50; Pelkey Bros, 1896.
In the roll call vote the council !
decided to accept the bid of Clark |
Bros Plumbing & Heating and the
bid of D. A. Jenkins. The city at
torney was directed to draw up con-
tracts and the improvement commit
lee was directed to set the time in
which the work should be completed.

Internal Revenue
Department Being
Examined for Graft

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The COM
missioner Of internal revenue is con-
ducting general cleanup of his
bureau to get rid of the graft that
was permitted to spread thruout its
branches during the last administra-
ton. Every employee who is found
to have used his knowledge of the
tax files for his own private gain
will be instantly separated from the
service and criminal actions institu-
ted wherever the circumstances war;
rant. 1--WE propose to clean up this
situation" declared Commissioner
Blair, "and clear out of the govern
ment service every individual found
to have used his time and opportun-
ity in government employ to help
rob the government Of tax obliga-
tions."

OLD CLOTHES WILL
Be GATHERED SOON
Representative of Near
East Relief Visits
This County

This cOunty's old clothes accumu-
lations that have been cluttering up
the family closets and attics are
being dragged out and given q
careful inspection this week. The
old togs and shoes that can't
present q convincing argument
as to why they should be al
lowed to continue their present
abode and useless existence will be
bundled up and sent over the sea to
replace the atattered burlap and
shredded rags that clothe the home
less and destitute sufferers from
famine and disorganization in the
Near East.
According to announcement Tues
day from state headquarters of
the Near East relief committee at
Boise, this place is on the schedule
for a clothes-gathering program.
Warm serviceable clothes and shoes
of all kinds are wanted for use
among the nearly naked men, women
and children of Armenia and neigh
boring countries during the coming
winter, the advices state, and Miss
q, Fay Fowler, for four years head
of the junior extension work for the
University of Idaho arrived in this
county Tuesday to arrange for the
collection.
"The cast off garments and out
grown shoes to be found about
nearly every Idaho home will go a.
long way toward helping to save the
lives of thousands living in the most
wretched poverty in the Near East
they will if given now, in time to be
sent into that huge zone of want be-
fore severe winter weather sets in
again." says Miss Fowler in an an
ouncement of her coming. Miss
Fowler is now state director for the
Near East relief committee, which
is specially chartered by congress to
relieve suffering and aid with recon-
struction all over Asia Minor.
III we could have had these last
winter, when one of the greatest
tragedies in history was being en-
acted, the story of the Near East
would have been a little difterent,0
she continues. Thousands of those
little orphan children and those
homeless men and women who fro1e-]
and starved in the snow Of Armenia
and the Caucasus could have been
saved"
Local committees are to- be ap-
pointed to handle the aid-lending
effort in this county, which is ex-l
pected to yield hundreds of pounds
Of clothes and shoes that are still
and warm. i

SC0TT'S CARAVAN
REACHES CHICAGO
Expect to Make Better
Time in Western
Country

CHICAGO.-Three army trucks
twenty-five automobiles of various
vintages and innumerable trailers
arrived in Chicago Monday on their
way from Brooklyn to Buhl, Idaho.
Scores of men and women in khaki,
and children of all ages, members
of the modern caravan, spent the
night here and departed Tuesday for
the west, where each of the thirty
families comprising the party has
forty acres of irrigated land await
ing them.
Members of the modern caravan,
headed by w. D. Scott, will settle
on irrigated land known as the Rose
worth tract near Buhl, developed as
a Carey act project by the Idaho
Farms Development company. The
project has been virtually approved
and accepted by the department of
reclamation.
The party left Brooklyn July %
and was scheduled to reach Buhl
September 8. The Buhl chamber OF
commerce is erecting q community
house for the use Of the caravaners
on their arrival and until new homes
are constructed by the eastern i'm
migrants.
: Governor Davis and his secretary,
Frank w. Brown. will meet the cara
van members when they arrive In
Idaho and will escort them to Buhl.
As the caravan is behind schedule
Buhl probably will not be reached
until September IL or Is, altho the
automobile tourists are expected to
make better time thru the western
country.

Of agriculture during the Wilson ad-

Auto Tests Will be
Held Labor Day; Is
Your Car in Shape

Arrangements are taking form for
test of the climbing powers of the
various kinds Of autos, and the scor-
ing will be done on the road to the
Lincoln creek on the forenoon Of
Labor Day.
The plan is to test the cars on the
different hills leading up to the
summit, and try them first on high
gear, then on intermediate and then
on low, timing them on certain dis
tances as well as testing their ability
to get up at all on the different gears.
Various proposals are being made
by different persons as to what the
award shall be or who shall pay for
the dinner, but 1t will probably de-
velop into plans for everybody TAX
ing picnic dinner along and spread
ing it on the summit or at spring
just below the summit and all cele-
brating together after testing all the
cars and each driver learning what

There is also great deal to be

Comparatively few drivers
know what is meant by coming down
on compression. A great many who
know how to do that, do not know
how to keep the engine cool and save

without using the gas at all, and yet
be safe all the time. Driving in this

All Of these things will be taught
by the experts on this trip, and each
driver can become expert.

IDAHO IRRIGATION
WORK WILL GO ON
Publicity Expert Will
Manage Reclamation
Association

While the news from Washington
that President Harding opposes any
appropriation at the present time
for further reclamation development
is disappointing, at the same time it
does not mean that progress is i'm
possible with relation to Idaho irri-
cation projects, and more especially
the American Falls enterprise, ac-
cording to to statement issued last
Thursday from the headquarters Of
the Idaho Reclamation association.
While it is entirely probable that
the presidents attitude, taken as
stated, on economic grounds and not
because of opposition to reclamation
development, ends the high hope of
enactment at this time of the
McNary-Smith BILL" this statement
says, I'VE know that there are funds
available that can be used to ma
terially aid reclamation construction
in Idaho. These are buried funds
sarising from q, variety Of sources
such as unused appropriations, pro-
ceeds from land sales, etc, that
amount to a large sum.
& After Buried Money
"The Idaho Reclamation associa-
ton Is doing everything possible to
have these buried funds disentombed
and applied. The money is there,
and has been located in more or less
obscure account, and there are sew
eral million dollars of it. We are
insisting. on its being applied, and we
shall be especially persistent, on be-
half Of Idaho, in view Of the i'm
probability of the enactment of the
McNary-Smith bill.
Blow at Production
"The association regrets that
President Harding has taken this
action, and believes he might better
have enforced economies elsewhere
than to have directed them to the
future production of the west. The
effort to secure reclamation appro-
priation at this time should not be
abandoned by this association, and
it is urging the Idaho delegation to
continue to endeavor to secure favor
able action on the McNary-Smfth
bill and If nothing can be done in
that direction, we feel sure that by
united effort these buried funds can
be dug up and applied in manner
that will tide us over"
Are Idahoans Disinterested?
Guy Flenner of Boise has come
TO Pocatello to take over the manage

Hitting Streak
Standing Of the Clubs

- =
RoxDurg ............................-.
The Blackfoot Bronks journeyed
to Rexburg Wednesday and were de-
feated by the Giants by score of
II to 2. Howard started on the
mound for Blackfoot in fine shape,
but the Rexburg batters got next to
him tn the second inning for three
hits and scored two runs. They re-
peated the second inning in the
fourth and the score stood four to
one. In the fifth frame there was q
big difference. Hall singled and
Cummings doubled Malseed reached
first on Howard's error and Heath
doubled scoring Hall and Cummings;
Malseed' was put out at the plate,
Conger to Warren. Reeves walked
and Beasley reached first on fielders
choice, Boner and Stanger filled the
bases on Epling's errors, Heath,
Reeves, Beasley and Boner scoring.
on three hits in that inning the
Giants netted six runs. Williams re-
placed Howard in this inning and
pitched until the seventh when he
was relieved by Simmons. Simmons
was more effective against them than
either Howard or Williams and he
held them to two hits and no runs.
The Bronks made their only runs
in the eighth inning when DeKay
walked and Simmons hit home run.
Blackfoot totaled five hits during the
game.
Tire trouble caused the local team
to be an hour late in arriving in
Rexburg and they had to play with
out either lunch or a rest after the
long ride.

PEA SQUAD OPERATING

Seeger and Trego went to work
Thursday to transplant 100 peren-
NAL pea plants from the Sagehurst
garden to the front fence row of the
fairgrounds. They set them in pairs
two to pannel, in holes that were
dug two feet deep last spring and
filled with soil and fertilizer and
kept watered this summer. The
little plants are few weeks old
and have tap roots from about ten to
twenty inches long. They are likely
to have some bloom next year and
make fine showing in 1923.
