PUBLISHERS WILL
MEET IN POCATELLO
Leaders From Idaho
Activities Will
Attend

BOISE, Idaho.-What is pro-
claimed by leading men Of Idaho to
be one of the most constructive de-
velopment programs yet outlined is
fathered by the Idaho Press associa-
tion, representing large majority of
the publishers of the state.

cipal industry and activity In Idaho
have been invited to attend this con-
ference with the editors to the end
that better understanding Of the

the results Of the conference will be
of widespread benefit to the state.

ial conference, it is announced, but
wholly informative for the editors

dustrial, educational, financial, COM
mercial, and as to industrial legisla-
tion, political subjects. 1t will be in
formal and Of the elbow-to-elbow
variety.

the publishers are men representing
various organizations, both state and
national.

A party from Pocatello, Ft. Hal
and Blackfoot left Wednesday morn.
ing to spend two days touring the
drainage basin of the upper Black.
foot and Grays Lake country to study
matter connected with the Greater
Fort Hall Project.
The party consisted Of Addison T
Smith, Senator Fred T. Dubois
Representative P. G.. Johnston, and
J. B. Bristline, s. H. Brady, H. NJ
Wolf Of Pocatello, w. o. Cotton, P
G.. Edgington of Idaho Falls, Indian
Agent William Donne, E. M. Ken
nedy and Byrd Trego of Blackfoot
and a representative of the Pocatello
Tribune.
The party went to the Blackfoot
dam and made careful inspection
of it and found it merely an earth
and rock structure placed in a mar
row place between solid lava walls
and on a lava bottom, but apparently
without having any cement core or
even any union of cement at the
points Of contact with the solid rock
at sides and bottom. It seemed to
have been merely built on the bot
tom Of the river and built up against
the rock at the sides, and there were
indications that it had not even been
puddled to- make the earth fill in the
voids between the crushed rock
dumped in. to make the body of the
dam. The face of the dam showed
voids and by picking up rocks and
digging in it appeared to be much
honeycombed.
According to information received
from persons who see the dam fire.
quently during the season when the
reservoir is we'll stocked with water,
the dam saturates and becomes soft.
Piles of rock thrown in along the up
per side were said to have been
in when it was leaking. and
for the purpose of choking the leaks.
Large quantities of clay piled up on
the dam were said to have been
placed there for the purpose OF
dumping in along the upper side to
help choke the leaks when it was
soft and saturated.
The spillway is merely channel
cut out along the north end of the
dam, partly in lava rock, and sep
arated from the soft part of the dam
by cement wall built on lava so far
as the lava extends, and built on
earth foundation at the upper end
where the water starts thru the spill
way. The diversion channel is on
the south side, and consists of a tun-
mel cut thru point of lava, and a
couple of gates set in concrete built
against the lava like lean-to is

from Pocatello and Idaho Falls to
witness this event, and reports indi-
cate that the Elks are making pre-
parations to remain in large num-

people who have never more than
half approved of boxing matches are
declaring their intention to see this
event even if it does introduce some
new experiences they had not plan
ned to countenance before the war.

it is no more than it costs for rail-

Wednesday is to witness the melon
bust in the morning and 1t is to be
childrens' day all day and part of the

world of fireworks of the most mod

free that day and evening. There
will be 1000 watermelons from the
big farm of Obermeyer Brothers at
Emmett, Idaho and there will be
fifty ex-service men to slice the
melons and fifty popular maidens
from fifty communities Of Bingham
county to hand them to the happy
melon eaters from everywhere.
Eastern Idaho people have never
had chance to see just what Idaho
melons from Emmet are like for the
reason that they have never paid
much attention to just where melons
came from. The Obermeyer Broth
ers recognized that fact and pre-
vailed upon the management Of the
fair to make one grand demonstra-
tion of the fine quality and delicious
flavor Of melons from their 400 acre
melon farm planted with pure seeds
of the pure breeds of the best mel

DEFEAT REXBURG
Season Closes and All
. Satisfied With Local
Teams Work

Following the boxing matches
held in Pocatello Monday when Spug
Myers of that city was awarded a
decision over AL Nelson Of Boise the
deciding game Of the season was
played. That these two teams would
be the ones to play for the pennant
was decided late in the season as
Idaho Falls until short time ago
was also close to the lead. The fact
that Rexburg never was strong
Contender is probably due to the fact
that they entered in the second half
and were perhaps not as we'll trained
true number Of former Rigby
players joined the Giants, but this
did not constitute the entire team
and they were handicapped to some
extent because they had not played
>tSgether as had the other teams.
Many of Blackfoot's citizens were
rather skeptical regarding the en-
trance of the local team into the
league the way Blackfoot's team
played in the Yellowstone Snake
River Valley league last year.
There was great deal Of opposition
to overcome and this the local base
taal boosters met and oyercame and
the result was we finally had team
that won the leadership of the first
half of the season. The team was
made up almost entirely Of local boys
who played ball because they liked
the game and were willing to play
II they received a just compensation
for their time. The local people saw
to it by their attendance and the sup
lnrt they gave the fellows that they
would receive sufficient amount for
their time.
Bfackfoot's team brought lot of
publicity to the city and honor to
themselves and we only hope that
the boys will be here next season
with the benefit Of another years ex-
perience to play ball and repeat this
years performance. All thru the
season the local team has been ex-
papents of clean sport and they have
endeavored to keep the game as
clean as possible and have shown
themselves to be good clean sports
all thru.
