FARMING FOR LIVING URGED
II More Farmers Would Produce
What They Need for Home use
Markets Would Be Better.

More farming for living should be
done and there will be less risk or
moor markets. If most farmers would
produce what they could for home use
the markets would be required to take
less and as result there would be
less strain on them. The way to nave
markets is to save and conserve What
Won have. Use your markets only
when it is necessary to sell he sur

Having secured it, he should do his
part by seeing that the crates are made

after packing, that they are properly

Old Resident Tells
of Naming Stevens
Peak and Wolverine

Mrs. Emma Just, one of the first
settlers on the Presto bench, informs
us that Presto Burrel, who settled on
the Blackfoot river early, caught q
Wolverine on the stream which now
bears that name, and he and the
other settlers spoke of it as the
Wolverine creek and Wolverine can
yon after that event.
Mrs. Just says that Mt. Putnam
was named for Captain Putnam, an
officer in command when TT. Hall
was established on Lincoln creek.
The little Chocolate drop" peak
on the foot hills south of Blackfoot
was named by Mrs. Just in CONVEX
sation with a soldier who was haul
ing some logs from Soda Springs to
rebuild them into a, house in this
valley in 1866. His name was Fred
s. Stevens, one Of General Connor's
command, who had been mustered
out, a2d when she asked him where
he was going to build his house he
pointed to the odd little peak on the
hills and remarked that he believed
he would build on that little PIN
nacle, and she remarked, "Well,
then will call 1t Stevens peak" and
1t has gone by that name ever since.

Protests Received
by Governor About
Asylum Contract

Protests against the letting Of the
contract for the construction Of re-
ceiving hospital and insane ward at
the Blackfoot sanitarium to H. w.
Baum & Co. Of Salt Lake, have been
received by Governor Davis and the
state department Of public works.
Charges are that the Utah con-
tractors bid was not low and that II
the various parts of the work had
been let separately, plumbing to a
plumbing company, wiring to an
electrical company. etc., the build
1ngs could have been constructed at
q lower figure.
Baum's bid was $4,000. He was
awarded the contract on condition
that he cut his bid $4,000, which he
will do.
Davis Favors Present Plan
In an interview Friday afternoon
Governor Davis said: 1T has been the
states experience in the past that
the letting Of each specific kind Of
work to special contractor is not
good and all such arrangements have
cost the state more money in the end.
Where all the work is let to one man
he alone is responsible and will CO.
ordinate his work in such a way
that the various experts will not con-
hict with one another.
Baum & Co. did all the work on
the capitol wings and co-ordinated
the building in such way that
everything moved in harmony
