APPROPRIATION IS
GIVEN APPROVAL
Secretary Of the Interior
Asks Approval Of
Budget Chief

A telegram received Saturday morn
ing by j. M. Bistline Of the Pocatello
Water Users association, and coming
from Congressman Addison T. Smith
creates an exceptionally optimistic
feeling among the water users of the
Fort Hall project. The item speaks
for itself, but the outstanding fea-
ture of 1t is that it apparently was
possible to provide for the appropria-
tion in the regular budget. This
would seem to indicate under ordin-
ary circumstances that the appropri-
alton will ride right along with the
budget agreed upon. Congressman
Smith and Fred T. Dubois have de-
voted considerable time to the
proposition and it seems to be in ex-
ceptionally fine shape. The telegram
follows:
Budget director has approx
ed the recommendation Of Sec
retary of interior for appro-
priation Of $1,000 to rehabili-
tate Fort Hall project, 100000
to be Immediately available
upon approval by congress.
Committee on appropriations
of the house will commence
hearing early next month before
which Dubois and I will appear.
= The engineers report is being
digested by engineers in Indian
bureau.

Armistice Program
at High School Well
Attended Fridav

An excellent and we'll attended
program was given at the high
school Armistice Day. There were
several community songs sung by
the audience and this recalled the
spirit of 1918.
Hon. Peter G. Johnston gave an
excellent and appropriate address
and this was followed by a two
minute silent prayer as directed by
President Harding.
Among the musical selections
given were two songs rendered by
Uncle Sans Girls" under the direc-
tion OF Mrs. George Belle Wood.

OF cowboys and Indians with thei
horses and saddles TO give free ride
to the teachers at the 1922 institut
was discussed and committee an
pointed to confer with some of tn
leaders to see If this could be done
The Commercial club could furnisl
quarters for the horses at the fair
grounds, and supply feed for tn,
STOCK, and 1t might be that q goot
many of the riders would find /
pleasant to spend weeks vacation
at Blackfoot at that time and show
the teachers a good time out of in
stltute hours. The committee ap.
pointed is Byrd Trego, L. B. Dustin
and Mike Barclay.
! A proposal to celebrate the com.
pletion Of the new municipal water
system was presented and discussed,
1T is suggested that Blackfoot invite
all city officials from thirty-five cities
and towns of eastern Idaho above
American Falls and the commission
ers of the fifteen eastern counties to
assemble for convention and NUM-
cipal fair and inspection Of town i'm
provements on some Saturday early
IN December, probably the tenth. at
which time the city would show its
guests the new wells, the new mod
ern centrifugal pumps and their
mode of operation, the system by
which the mains distribute the water
pressure to distant parts of the sys-
tenn and overcome the friction, and
multitude Of other construction prob
lens and how Blackfoot and its en-
gineers and officials have handled
them. 1t was proposed that a hun
dred automobiles should be on hand
to receive them at the train and
spend most of the forenoon driving
them around to see the features Of
interest and examining exhibits to be
assembled at the new council cham
Der such as models of hydrants,
valves, pumps and many other things
that enter into the water system.
The larger machines such as flushers.
fire engines, street sweepers, ma
terials for bridges and culverts and
other things Of that nature could be
in the ground floor of the
new Bills building.
The afternoon would be occupied
With regular convention matters per-
aiming to the business of city build
ng and city government, and then
'reak up the general session and
lave them meet in special meetings
II all the engineers, the fire chiefs,
he mayors, the councilmen, chiefs
II police and SO on, and have leaders
n each of these lines to address their
meetings..
An evening entertainment was
and a committee was ap-
ointed Saturday by the various or
anizations consisting of G. G. Clark,
red Simons and A. T. Springer to
ook over the situation and decide
pom course of action.

MOTHERS BANQUET
EX-SERVICE MEN
Army Was Never Like
This Says Veterans
Friday Evening

The Bingham county chapter o.
War Mothers royalty banqueted the
ex-seryice men, G. A. r. and Boy
Scouts of Bingham county Friday
evening at the Odd Fellows hall. The
tables were loaded and reloaded with
good things to eat and thruout the
evening splendid program was
rendered.
While as many as could be seated
were being served the rest Of those
present were singing the songs OF
the camps and the battlefields. Some
OF the voices were bit cracked and
all We're more or less out of practise,
but with the "old buddy spirit" of
II and '18 the hall fairly shook at
the rendition of "Hail Hail the
Gangs All Here"
All together the tables, which
would accommodate 1870 at q time,
were set three times in order to feed
all the service men present. After
the vets had appeased their appetites
the Boy Scouts and War Mothers
were served by the ex-soldiers and
sailors.
The War Mothers wish to thank
all the citizens Of the county for the
help they gave them in making their
second annual banquet a success.
William Parkinson, port COM
mander of the American Legion,
thanked the War Mothers in behalf
Of the ex-service men and told of the
work that the local post had been do
ing in aiding "buddies'' in distress
and their families. Over $25OO has
been expended in this way by the
post and that money would have
been used, had not these cases come
up, to build home for the mem
bers. The post has not done a great
deal socially, but now that the win
ter season is here greater effort
will be made in this line.

BLACFKOOT Wins
FROM ST. ANTHONY
Forward Passes and
End Runs Bewilder
Visitors /

| Blackfoot retailiated for the de-
fact they received in st. Anthony last
month by defeating the red and
black here Armistice Day by 13 to
score.
In the first nine minutes of play
Stephens passed to France for big
gain and then the local team fol-
lowed with a series of end runs, and
a line plunge by Stephens made the
first touchdown. He missed the goal
kick and this left the score standing
six to nothing.
Near the end Of the first halt
Stephens intercepted pass and
made big gain for the maroon and
white. An end run by Cherrington
and one by Taylor brought the ball
to their three yard line and Stephens
carried it over for another touch
down. He kicked the goal and the
half ended, when a pass to Ander-
SON from st. Anthony's fifteen yard
line fell Incomplete.
Nearly All of the gains made by
st. Anthony were on line plunges and
they were never near Blackfoots
goal line.
In the third quarter a. quick pick
up of Blackfoot tumble netted st.
Anthony fifty yards and this was fol-
lowed soon after by an intercepted
pass and st. Anthony's score. Both
teams attempted drop kicks but were
unsuccessful.
The work Of Anderson and Sim
mons, Blackfoot's ends was very ex-
ceptional, both being on the job in
receiving passes and in breaking up
The interference and tackling.
The lineup for Blackfoot was
Anderson, right and Simmons, left
md; Parkinson, right tackle; Neider,
eft tackle; Marshall, right ugard;
'tuart, left guard; York, center;
,herrington, right half; Taylor, left
lalf; France, quarter back; Stephens
ull back and captain.
Next Friday the boys will meet
aberdeen here and fine game is ex-
ected, the two teams met at the be-
inning of the season and Blackfoot
7on AZ to Z, but since that time
Aberdeen has made such good
howing against American Falls and
'ocatello that the winning of this
anne will be no easy matter.

SEVERAL SUBJECTS ARE DISCUSSED AT
MEETING OF COMMERCIAL CLUB THURS
DAY; MANY COMMITTEES APPOINTED
Committee Will Ask That Beets be Ground Here
So That the Community That Raises Them
Will Receive All the Benefits;
Preparing for Institute -

| There was a meeting Of the Com
merc1al club on Thursday evenin
and several subjects were discussed
The official report of the condition
OF the institute+accounts indicates
that there would probably be som
money left, but they have not re
ceived the official report as Supt
Siders has been i'll most of the tim,
since the institute and the repor
has been delayed. If there is an,
money left over It will probably b
left in the treasury to start the wori
of the institute for 1922.
1t is reported that the Utah Idaho
Sugar company is preparing to shir
part of the Bingham county beet
crop to the factories at Sugar City
and Lincoln and protest was made
against it, One of the citizens who
had talked to a couple of the sugar
factory officials at Salt Lake about
the matter did not receive any sat
isfaction and the Commercial club
appointed a committee to take the
matter up with them and ask that
the beets raised in this county should
be ground in this county and the
pulp be left here for the benefit Of
the farmers who want to buy it.
Members of the Commercial club
remarked that they had sometimes
been asked by the officials of the
sugar company to do what they could
to increase the acreage Of sugar beets
in this county and at the close of the.
season part Of the beets are shipped
away and We lose the employment.
They are getting tired OF this and
a committee was instructed to pre-
sent these matters to the general Of
flee Of the sugar company. Bingham
county is the banner sugar beet
county of this state and they think
1t very unfair to have our factory
close first and part of our product
shipped away to be added to the re-
sources OF some other county. The
committee appointed to handle that
g w. +. Bergman, e. M. Kennedy,
J. F. Stone and Peter G. Johnston.
Blackfoot and the railroad COM
'any have been trying for the last
'ear and half to get the stock yards
moved out Of the present location to
more suitable one above the sugar
actory. When everything was agreed
lpon the railroad company said they
would move the stock yards when
'ver the town gave them the title to
he land to put it on. This the town
efused to do and a committee was
ppointed to ask the board of health
o condemn them and ask that they
e removed from their present loca-
ion. No decision has been, reached
n that matter yet. The committee
onsisted of e. D. Bloom, Byrd Trego
nd Mike Barclay were appointed to
evive the subject to see If they could
ct on it. !

PEACE CONFERENCE
PLANS ARE STATED
y. S. Representatives
Favor Scrapping
Sixty Vessels

At the first session of the peace
conference the representatives of the
United States talked straight to thu
point and said exactly what the,
meant and said 1t in a way that could
have but one Interpretation. They
were in favor of stopping the build.
ing Of navies and they proposed
scrapping sixty-six vessels now In
use.
They proposed to absolutely de-
stroy large portion of the three
greatest navies of the world, those
of Great Britain, the United States
and Japan. They named the vessels
to be destroyed and named those
which are to be retained in the SER
vice, and allowed Great Britain to
keep about 20 per cent more naval
strength than the United States, and
Japan to keep about half as much as
Great Britain. They also proposed
that no more fighting ships shall be
built in the next ten years excepting
Tor replacement, and that can only
be done by agreement.
This was all laid before them for
acceptance in the first session Of less
than two hours. 1t was in striking
contrast with what was done in six
months of haggling at Versailles
when we, thru our representative,
talked a thousand times and said,
May not hope for this" and MAY
not ask for that?" and "Will you
1ot accept our assurances of high
purposes and good faith?" And all |
hose things were said behind closed |
loors, while the Washington con-
erence was done in the open and |
'verything was said to all and was
aid down in black and white on each
l1plomat's desk, printed in two
anguages.
