RECLAMATION BILL!
WOULD AID MANY.
Smith-McNary Bill May
Pass at Next
Session

Groups Of men and Individually In
terested men in politics from the
southeastern part of the state
gathered in Pocatello last week to
take up matters with Congressman
Addison T. Smith, on his way back
to Washington after a two weeks
stay in Idaho.
1t being impossible for Mr.. Smith
to get over his district in the limited
time he established headquarters at
Pocatello and those interested called
on him there.
Matters of pending legislation.
post office and other appointments
were taken up and gone into. Ma
tional Committeeman John Hart of
Rigby, was among the visitors.
In discussing the Smith -McNary
bill, Congressman Smith is co-author
with Senator McNary Of Oregon on
the reclamation bill, Mr.. Smith
stated that 1t is his belief that the
bill will meet with success and Is
destined for early passage by the.
next congress. In addition to the
benefits that the country at large
WOulu lCCOANO I'LL u 4OV41udtlOuS kA0
passage of the bill would solve one
great problem that threatens now
and that is unemployment, as the
appropriation of the $250,O00, 900
would give work to thousands Of
men. In discussing the labor situa-
tion Mr.. Smith said that 1--WE of the
west do not fully appreciate what
the unemployment situation is as it
exists thruout the east and the in
dustral centers and he believes that
there are hundreds of men with their
families that would grasp the oppor-
tunity to come west IL they knew
that they could get work and would
be glad to establish themselves as
citizens of some western state.
Mr.. Smith spent some time with
Secretary Fall of the department Of
the interior, going over the reclama-
tion projects with him.

Shoppers Week Date
Changed by Business
Men of Pocatello

POCATELLO Idaho:-A group of
business men of Blackfoot appeared
before the Pocatello Chamber of
Commerce Thursday and entered OBJ
jections to the staging of the "Out-
of-Town Shoppers Week" by Poca-
tello on the week previously set, as
it will interfere with the teachers
institute to be held for southeastern
Idaho the same week at Blackfoot.
H. M. Sims, the originator of the
Pocatello scheme, said that the
wholesale men of Pocatello and the
Chamber of Commerce had not or
ganized the plan at all, but that
twenty-seven retail merchants Of Po-
catello were back Of the movement.
An effort will be made to have the
date changed from the week OF
October II to the following week.

Duck Ponds Invaded
by Local Sportsrnen
Saturday Morning

The farmers in the vicinity Of
Blackfoot were rudely awakened by
the report of shotguns Saturday
morning. for some time they were
unable to account for the disturb
ance. But it finally dawned on them
that the duck season opened at sun
rise October / and the local sports
men were taking advantage of the
date.
1t seemed that the hunters
thought, first come first served, for
good many left for the various
ponds in this neighborhood Friday
evening. Others went out during
the night and still more before day
break SO that they would be present
when the sun peeped over the hills.
So far as known the men that got
the limit were DR.. B. H. Hudson, F.
w. Bergman, G. s. Beebe, l.. G.
Collins, J. H. Early, George DOre,
Claude Tolls, Elmer Stephens and
A. B. Stephens.
The ducks here are of the larger
varieties being mostly Greenheads,
Wigdon, Grey duck or Spoonbill
while there is also number of
smaller varieties including Teal.
There is no geese in this section,
however, but from the results Of the
early season returns it is probable
that the hunters will make many
more trips to Springfield, Sterling,
the sand hills east of town and other
places where the ducks are very
abundant.
Owing to the fact that ducks do
not keep, the hunters that received
the limit passed whatever they did
not need on to their friends and in
this way a number who were unable
to attend the opening of the season
were benf1tted by the godd luck Of
their friends.

BLACKFOOT PEOPLE
ATTEND ROUNDUP
Reno Park is Crowded
With Visitors
Daily

The roundup at Idaho Falls was
put on last Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, and was a good show from
start to finish. There were no idle
moments, and much Of the time 1t
was like two-ring circus, here be-
ing more horses and riders bobbing
into the arena than one could keep
an eye on. The riders mounted
their steeds- In the chute and were
released in full acton as fast as the
managers chose to let them out.
There were two chutes and it was
somewhat like watching fireworks to
see the way they came. out, wild
horses and wild cattle emerged like
sky rockets and piled their riders or
carried them away far enough to lose
interest in the ones that followed.
There were a large number OF
cowboys and many Indians, and some
of the best of trick riders, including
world champions. The Indians were
arrayed a little more gorgeously
than at any other celebration held
in recent years, and they danced and
marched, winning the applause Of
thousands.
The event at Idaho Falls was dis
tinctly a roundup, there being no
stock exhibit nor any other show, no
agricultural exhibits nor machinery,
and no concessions of any kind ex-
cepting refreshmets. The manage
ment charged 81 admission at the
gates and so cents for grandstand
and bleachers, and the people paid
the price cheerfully, filling every
thing from top to bottom. Tickets
for the children were IS cents and
hundreds of cars were parked in
side and out, the car admission be-
ing so cents each.
Theirs was q fine exhibition for
the people of the upper valley and
will probably be made an annual
event.

IDAHO SETTLERS
NOT DISSATISFIED
Governor Denies Report
Circulated A b ut
Misrepresentation

s. BOISE, Idaho.-The charge made
that the members of the Scott cara
van, which journeyed from Brook.
lyn, New York, to Buhl, Idaho, to
settle on the Roseworth tract, had
the land misrepresented to them and
that they had appealed to Governor
D. w. Davis of this state to cancel
their contracts and return theil
money, is fatty denied by Governor
Davis in a statement given out
.Thdrsday night.
There is absolutely no truth to
the report" Governor Davis said.
members of the caravan have not
held a conference with me, nor have
they made any appeal to me. 1t
would not be surprising If few of
the large number of settlers such as
the caravan contained were not sat
isfied. That might arise in the set
tlement of any land. So far as
know, the settlers are more than sat
isfied."
William D. Scott, head of the cara
van, and several Of the members
went to Boise last week and at
tended the state fair. Mr.. Scott
spoke of the big grand stand audi
ence and expressed his pleasure at
becoming a landowner in Idaho.
Speaking of the impressions of the
settlers on reaching their land, Mr..
Scott said, when interviewed:
est would be hard to tell just
what their impressions were. sup
pose some thought that 1t was worse
than they had pictured in their
minds, while others thought it was
not so bad as they had been led to
believe. At any rate, we shall be-
gin cultivation early in the spring
and will spend the winter in getting
our land in shape for the coming
season."
Members Of the caravan held q
conference with Frank Brown, secre-
tary to the governor, and discussed
with him the matter of spanning the
Salmon river canyon with a bridge.
No complaint was registered at that
time. Secretary Brown announces
that University Of Idaho extension
experts will visit the settlers and
their lands in body Saturday and
proceed to give intensive instructions
as to how to prepare the land. 1t Is
planned to specialize in dairying.
poultry, seed culture, and some OF
the finest dairy stock in the country
is to be shipped to the land i'm
mediately.

BINGHAM COUNTY
WINS MANY PRIZES
State Fair Opens Mon.
day With Small
Attendance

County Agent Walter F. Thomas
returned from Boise Thursday, after
taking the Bingham county exhibit
to the state fair, which was held in
that city last week. On account OF
some work here that needed his at
tention Mr.. Thomas had to leave the
fair before the county exhibits were
judged, however, we won fourth
place.
In the other exhibits this county
won the following places: Oats
first and third; barley, first and
second; Grimm alfalfa seed, first and
second; spring soft wheat, fourth ;
Dicklow wheat, first; garden peas
and navy beans, first; onions, first;
table beets, first; market potatoes,
fourth; sheaf oats, third. Mr.
Thomas believes it would have been
possible to have taken first on mar
ket potatoes if he had had an oppor-
tunity of the proper selection of his
exhibits for this entry.
The crop exhibits at the state fair
this year are about the same as last
year, showing very little improve
ment while the livestock exhibit
there, especially the Shorthorn and
Poland China entries are very much
better than last year.
In the Shorthorn show e. M. Varin
of Victor and G. A. McMasters OF
Twin Falls, both Of whom exhibited
their cattle here, took the bulk OF the
prizes in their division. The show.
ing of Poland Chinas. especially the
large type, was very good.
The crowd the first day was very
small, but a much greater attendance
was expected the later part of the
week. An excellent program is given
each day, but 1t seems as tho the
people OF that section are not inter-
ested, while there are a great many
cars around they all belong to con-
cessioners and they are fewer than
the number attending the Southeast
ern Idaho fair.
Mr.. Thomas talked with several
people that attended our fair and the
state fair afterward and they say
ours was as good If not better than
the state fair. We have not the room
here that there is at Boise, but the
quality was much better. The at
tendance here daily was very crafty
ing while at Boise during the first
three days of the far, they had not
come up to the amount of our small
est day in point Of attendance.

HEAVY SCHEDULE
FOR LOCAL TEAM
High School Football
Season Opens This
Month

The Blackfoot high school football
players participated in their first
game this season at Pocatell0 Satur-
day. They were defeated by the
Tech by score Of II to 0.
The boys have nothing to say
about the game, they just stepped
out Of their class and had a good
workout with more experienced men
which will greatly benefit them this
year. The fault of such a score does
not lie altogether with the local team
but also with the Tech, which has a
much better team this year than ever
before in the history Of the school.
The local boys are practising daily
and have a pretty heavy schedule
before them this season. Their first
high school game will be played next
Friday when they will meet Aber-
deem at Aberdeen. The following
are the rest of the games and their
dates: October 13, Idaho Falls at
Idaho Falls; October 20, Pocatello at
Blackfoot; October %, st Anthony,
at st. Anthony; November 8, Idaho
Falls at Blackfoot; November II st.
Anthony at Blackfoot; November 18,
Aberdeen at Blackfoot; November
"a, Pocatello at Blackfoot.
Ray Stephens is unable to play
this year on account of injuries re-
ceived last year and Ernest johnson
is taking his place at fullback except
for the kicking and 1t seems impos-
sible to find someone to take his
place in this part Of the game for
Ray was the best kicker in the state
on high school team. Ernie is fast
for his weight tho and it is expected
that he will make record for him
self this year.

WHY SUCH A DIFFERENCE?

! The Government has just issued
"a statement showing an increase
Of slightly over thirteen per
cent in wholesale prices Of food
during August over the same
month Of last year, the same re
port showing a decline Of forty
seven per cent in farm products
for the same period. It is hard
to reconcile these two statements.
If there has been a decline Of
nearly fifty per cent in farm
products, why should not there
be corresponding decline in the
wholesale prices Of food? There
seems to be an inexcusable, Grim
inal amount of profiteering go
ing on between the producer and
the ultimate consumer. The GOV
eminent should probe this condi-
ton to the bottom, for the prices
.of food touches every single hu-
man being in this country. Dur
ing the past year there has been
a great decrease in wages and any
increase in the cost Of food works
q hardship on the people, a hard
ship which under the circumstan-
ces is not justified. An under
fed people are dissatisfied peO-
pie. and undertaking can DE car
ried to such limit that it will
cause untold trouble even lead
ING in the end to a state Of revO-
luton + not checked. If there
is still profiteering in foodstuffs Il
should be stamped out with every
!poWer Of the government. The
people have tolerated such treat
ment in the past with wonder
full good nature, but that will
not last always. There is limit
beyond which it is not safe to 90.
