CROPS DOING fine
IN this SECTION
Outlook is Bright for
Good Harvest and
Fair Price

Bonneville county or the upper
Snake river valley never faced bet
ter situation or condition for q
bountiful harvest than it does at this
time, Is the composite verdict Of q
number Of the farmers, many OF
them "old timers" and close OBJ
servers Of business conditions thru
out the valley. @s
Another favorable condition and
comment Is that never was such an
acreage planted under such favorable
conditions as prevail to this time and
at such a low cost.
Indications are good for q fair
price. good normal "before the
war" price at any rate, and with an
abundant crop, produced at low cost,
and fair price business conditions
are to adjust themselves thruout this
section and the country generally.
Scores of conservation men have
been interviewed and the generally
expressed opinion is about the same.
Another very general feature is that
while many express the general slow
ing up In business, yet at the same
time express the opinion that it is
better that way than for the high
prices to have continued longer, to
be followed by the inevitable collapse
as the younger generation and older
men to lose their heads and had en-
tered upon an era of speculation that
had it continued would have proven
disastrous.
As it is there is a general feeling
that "gOod times are ahead and the
economy practiced the past few
months is wholesome and will have
the effect of keeping many from
recklessly plunging into debt and
farmers and other business interests
will learn better how to finance
themselves. .-Times-Register,

iCOVERONR DAVIS
! TO ATTEND MEETING
Meeting Of Idaho Recla-
/, nation in
Pocatello

BOISE, Idaho.--Governor Davis
just back from highly important con-
ferences at Washington bearing on
reclamation work, said that unless
something unforeseen prevented, he
would be present at the state conven-
tion of the Idaho Reclamation as
sociation, to be held in Pocatello on
June 13.
u "The efforts and aims of the Idaho
Reclamation association have my
heartiest approval" Governor Davis
said, "and they merit the support Of
the people Of Idaho and more es-
pecially those living in the southern
part of the state.
"Official and commercial bodies
should get solidly behind this asso-
citation and aid in maintaining a body
that will give concrete expression to
the desires of the people themselves
on this vital question.
A Mighty Voice
with Idaho and other western
states solidly organized, and with the
Western States Reclamation associa-
tion as general representative of
all, mighty voice can be raised in
behalf of reclamation work, and one
to which congress viii give heed.
" Individual effort is never to be
disregarded, but however, enthusias-
tic it may be 1t is impotent con-
trasted to the voice of organized ef-
fort. There must be some means Of
expression that will be recognized as
representing the dominant thought
and wishes Of the people,"
q Meetings in Washington
Governor Davis reports that the
conferences in Washington stimu-
lated interest in reclamation matters
\ I'VE met with Secretary Of the In
terror FALL" said the governor, "and
with former Governor Spry of Utah,
now commissioner of the general
land office. They went with us to
the White House to interview Presi-
dent Harding, who gave us every
Encouragement" s.t
III The governor said the meetings
with congressional committees were
most satisfactory and that he found
many evidences of interest In recla-
IHati0n on the part of eastern mem
bers OF the senate and house who
heretofore have been lukewarm and
IN some cases, openly hostile.

Water Spout is
Seen Northeast of
Town Thursday

a This afternoon a large black cloud
that was sighted northeast of town
carried water spout, which at
tracted much attention. At first some
thought 1t was a cyclone, but upon
closer observation this idea was
abandoned.
This was the largest one seen in
this country for some time. At
first it seemed to touch the ground,
but 1t gradually grew shorter. The
water pousing thru the spout played
queer tricks for while, the water
would come thru and then whip to
one side or the other.
The cloud later crossed town and
It rained heavily for some time, but
the spout had disappeared.

NOTABLE VICTORY
GAINED RECENTLY
IN EMBREE TRIAL
One Of Most Important
Chapters in ldaho's
Drive Against>the
|. w. w. Closed

BOISE, Idaho, May 31.-Consider-
able interest has been shown here IN
the trial just completed in the case
Of A. s. Embree at Wallace, charged
with the crime Of criminal syndical-
ism. !, It is said that this is one Of
the most notable victories the state
has known in Its drive against the
l. w. w. It will be recalled that, fol-
lowing the Centralia tragedy, when
American Legion boys In parade on
Armistice day, Nov. II, 1919, were
shot down by members Of this or
ganization the State Of Idaho, thru
its department Of law enforcement,
in cooperation with county officials,
began systematic attack on the red
organizers In the state.
Hundreds of arrests were made in
the different parts of the state and
a number OF convictions were had.
Many cases are yet pending. Idaho
has made a record that has attracted
comment over the country.
In speaking of the Importance Of
the Embree conviction last week and
its relation to the general I. w. w.
situation, Robert O. Jones, secretary
of state and commissioner of law en-
forcement, has the following to say:
The conviction of Embree at Wal
lace brings to close one of the most
important chapters in Idaho's drive
against the I. w. W. High In the
counsel Of the national organization,
only defeated at one time by q few
votes for. executive secretary, con-
sidered as the brains Of the I. w. w.
movement, and second only to Big
Bill Haywood, Embree has ranked
strong In the poisonous work Of
spreading The red doctrines.
"It Is the opinion of many that
the hurried trip Of Haywood to con-
genial Russia and his consequent
failure to- begin the twenty year
sentence Of a federal court, together
with the conviction Of Embree and
other leading /. w. WIS, means the
disintegration Of the I. w. w. Or
ganization. / believe there Is no
doubt this outlaw Organization Is
weakeFh how than 1t has been for sew
eral years.. The disorganization,
however, Is only partial; recent de-
velopments have driven out the So
called conservative wing, but the
radical part is yet present. The real
Reds will now get 'redder;' there
fore the l. w Wis still a serious
menace In our American life. There
is yet demanded the most earnest ef-
fort on the part of federal, state and
county officials to meet the situa-
tion." A

.BOOTLECCERS ARE
SEARCHED ON SIGHT
Peddlers of Moonshine
Kept Guessing by
Officers

The new city administration is
making it uncomfortable for the
bootleggers. The new chief of police,
Charles F. Molden, and his deputies,
G. B. Daily and w. A. Clark, are
working in connection with the
sheriff's office to keep busy on the
trails Of the bootleggers and give
them no rest.
At first they went to searching the
hotel rooms that were occupied by
suspects, and they kept their supplies
elsewhere, altho they could find
plenty of empty bottles. %'4ra
They have adopted the rule that
they will search suspect wherever
they meet him, without any regard
for his feelings, ana that makes It
very difficult for them to deliver
goods at ALL. They are watching the
trains as they come in from places
where stills are operating, and sus-
picious looking baggage and pack
ages are inspected. Some supplies
came in on the Mackay freight train
and were cached down on the wye.
One man who was searched on the
street had pint bottle on his hip,
and when he realized that he was In
for prosecution he had a, nervous
collapse. He said that II they would
let him off that one time he would
quit for all time, and would show
them where his cache was and ex-
plain how he operated. This was
done and he went down on the wye
and along by a coal bin he went to
kicking among the cinders and un-
earthed four pint bottles, which he
said were his entire stock. He left
town promising to be good, and they
promised him that just to have per-
sonal knowledge Of his goodness they
would search him on sight as often
as he came back to town.
The officers say that seven Of the
known bootleggers have left, and
may as we'll remain away, for they
are going to search them promiscu-
ously II they return.
During the past month there have
been number Of prosecutions for
various offences, the fines collected
amounting to $346, besides a num-
Der suspended for various reasons.
All of the delinquent minors who
have been taken into custody have
been taken to the probate court to
be dealt with. Children found tamp-
ering with flowers belonging to
others and parties Of youths and
naidens out stunning" for flowers
will be run in Just as promptly as il
they were committing any other kind
Of petty larceny. '

EVERY COMMUNITY
FACES SAME WORK
National Consciousness
Should be Developed
Says Woman

The development Of a national
consciousness and q realization that
the problems which are faced In
every community In the country to-
day are the same problems which are
confronting the nation are the only
remedies which will counteract the
destructive forces in America today
were the keynote points brought out
by Mrs. T. G.. Winter, president of
the Federation of Women's clubs,
who spoke in Pocatello Friday even
ing at the Congregational church.
The speaker dwelt on the necessity
of concerted action in facing the
questions OF the day and condoned
the fact that there was tendency
at the present time for each COM
munfty to be self-centered. Relate
your group here at the great ma
tional movement" she said. The
home is no longer an isolated unit,
and to be true home it must repre-
sent the life of the people.
Mrs. Winter also said that it was
necessary to readjust the point Of
view towards women's work, gave
some very interesting statistics show
ing that the average working day for
women dn rural districts was eleven
hours In winter and thirteen hours
in summer. She gave an example OF
how 1t cost in one instance SITS a
month to replace woman in her
home with individuals who did the
work she was accustomed to handle.
Women, she said, were prone to
neglect to figure the time they put In
work. The value Of home demon
,stration agents was also illustrated
by the speaker.
Mrs. Winter scored the so-called
finishing schools of the east, calling
them the breeding places of snob-
bishness," the most foreign Of all
languages in this country. She ended
her address by an appeal to live the
right kind of citizenship instead Of
talking it.
She delivered her address in a de-
lightfully informal manner and in
the short, time she spoke took up
many Of the problems facing the
women of today, She emphasized
especially the need of uniform mar
riage and, divorce laws and stated
this country required the law abid-
ing spirit more than 1t needed more
laws.-Pocatello Tribune.

stock Ior $3,750,0OO, which the d.
rectors intend to distribute equally in
Utah and Idaho.
1t is the first corporation .of its
kind in the intermountain section
and is probably the most significant
cooperate financial move ever under
taken in the two states. The directors
are w. W.. Armstrong, president OF
the National Copper bank, who heads
the temporary organization; Charles
s. Burton, vice president of the
Utah State National bank; D. L.

next thirty days.
Since January Mr.. Porter and J. P.
Jacobsen, former state bank ex-
aminer, have been devoting their en-
tire time to the promotion of this
enterprise and the working out of the
details Of organization. In the last
few weeks they have held many
meetings with the bankers Of Utah
and Idaho as well as with various
business interests.
The undertaking was new to many
of those who were approached, but
armed with the statistics of the ac-
complishments of other similar
banks In the east and in California,
and supported by the successful ex-
ample of these institutions, converts
to the feasibility of the project were
obtained.
/. And now endorsement of the bank
has been given by practically all OF
the most important financial institu-
tions of the two states as we'll as by
agricultural and business interests.
