park incident was patched up and
forgotten and other years dragged
along until the city park had become
something of brush patch and a
Joke, and at meeting of the w. G.
T. u. called to consider what to do
with the public park, it was decided
by a small vote of bare quorum to
abandon it and it thereby reverted
to the original owners of the ground
together with all and singular the
tenements, hereditaments and APP
purtenances thereunto belonging, "
and the original investors received
it back quite well improved, with
taxes and water assessments having
been RENTED or kept paid for all the
years, and thereby reaped a harvest
at the expense OF the public.

THE UNEXPECTED
HAS HAPPENED

Southern Idaho has come into pos
session OF very, good roads. 1t has
had such intolerable roads for ten
years, and people have become so
accustomed to suffering 1t out and
complaining about the, awful roads,
that conditions OF the present sum
mer are very refreshing. !. 5sr-ss
People who take long trips thru
southern Idaho come home remark
ing about the good roads. It does
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1921-08-18

not matter what direction they take
they find the roads happy surprise
1t is true there is here and there Q
stretch OF road where dust can BIZ
kicked up in profusion, but that ii
where they had to go thru on low
gear in past years. They go at high
speed now, and complain II they kick
up dust.
A notable thing about the road
question is that peoples ideas Of sat
isfactory roads have gone thru a
great change in recent years. What
was the best stretches OF road five
years ago, and considered a desir-
able goal to work to in road building
may be the poorest part of the road
now and roundly condemned as
something to be remsdied just as
soon as possible. People who made
no complaint five years ago unless
they had to creep along at four to
eight miles an hour, run at higher
speeds now and condemn a road and
all the neighbors II they have Is
come down to. intermediate to get
thru. 4
II you will look around you at
roads, you will flnd that 1921 is q
banner year for good roads. You may
remember that last winter and
spring 1t was very wet and people
dragged the roads on the donation
plan and dragged them well. They
travelled the roads and packed them
down and then dragged them some
more to keep the holes leveled and
the dirt packed in the holes. Then
followed the summertime and good
roads. Now it is August and let us
hope there will be pretty good roads
for doing the fall hauling. There
may be showers and opportunities to
do some more free dragging to fill up
some holes and pack the dirt in the
holes, and that, will enable people to
haul big loads at lower cost and
better speed.
It is not all in what we sell our
crops for that counts in the net pro-
fit or losses. It is not nearly so
much in the rate Of freight that we
have to pay as 1t is. the kind of road
lying between our field and the spur
or loading station. We all like to
complain of high freights, but none
OF us like to upbraid ourselves for
the mud hole in front of our farm
that cuts down the amount we can
haul to town and thereby adds
several cents per hundred pounds to-
the cost of freighting our produce
to the station. Students of trans
portation in our country tell us that
the cost of rail freight is to our
team freight as an egg is to a water
melon for size and cost when we con-
slider the whole mass of it.
We hope you will do little think
ing and see if you don't agree that
Bingham county has very good roads
this year and very good prospects
FOR hauling crops to market at lower
cost than ever before.
BY the way, If there comes a good
soaking rain, we think that road
dragging would be one Of the most
profitable things that could be done.
It will help on that job of hauling
he crops.

AS BLACKFOOT FAILED,
MAY ABERDEEN WIN

IN one OF It's Undertakings, tne
town Of Aberdeen is now just at the
point where Blackfoot was in sim.
liar undertaking a quarter of a
century ago and it failed. The fact
that Blackfoot failed in something
twenty-five years ago. is no indication
that Aberdeen will fail now, but
since the same conditions creep in
to block such undertakings, we think
it worth while to review the expert
ence Of the county seat so that
Blackfoot can see how and why it
lost something desirable once, and
SO that Aberdeen can the more easily
avoid the difficulties that tighten
around and strangle such enter
prises. We refer to the task of de-
veloping public park in the town.
About thirty years ago the w. G..
It. U. of Blackfoot received gift
of one block of ground $50 square
for public park, and for several
years poured money into improve
ments. They cleared and seeded it,
put good fence around 1t, planted
it to trees and hired somebody to
well watered and some times parts
Of it were neglected Trees some
times stood for week or two in dry,
hard ground and leaves lost their
rich luster and sap thickened in its
travel up to the branches. Different
kinds of grass crept in and as tender
things choked out the soil was filled
with the roots of the aggressive
plants and weeds that sapped the
plant food intended for the trees.
As other matters grew in public
interest, people forgot about the
needs of the park and its trees, and
in an evil hour when there was no
money in the treasury to pay ditch
assessments and for watering the
park, somebody owning cow, pro-
posed that if they would permit him
to pasture his COW in the park, he
would take care of it without charge.
This seemed reasonable thing to
do, and the park was to be self sup
porting and watered free of charge.
There seemed now to be less need
than ever of anyone going to the
park to supervise the watering or
to see that it was done, for the bet
ter he watered it the better the
pasturage would be.
But alas for human nature and
alas for a town that harbors dead
beats. The COW man had permission
to turn his cow in and there was
plenty of grass for all current needs
and why should he water it at all.
His percentage Of profit on what he
had invested in 1t would be greater
If he did not water it at all and he
did not. Then he figured that since
there was more grass than any one.
COW could eat it would do no harm to
enlarge his scope of operations and
take in all the cows Of the town and
get q piece OF. ready money right
away, which he did.
When the committee woke up to |
what was going on, much Of one sea-
son had passed and the park was on
it's way back to the state of desert
from which it had only SO recently |
been reclaimed. OF course, some Of |
the. people we're angry, but Blackfoot |
always did harbor dead beats, 1t
never drove any Of them out, 1t al
ways welcomed their presence II they |
had money to spend, and 1t rarely |
ever frowned upon the methods by
which money was acquired. SO the
