Drag Roads When
They're Wet, Ad-
vises Road Man

J. M. Hartong of the Maquire Con-
struction company says the right
time to drag the roads is when they
are wet and sloppy, not when they
are starting to harden. He says the
roads that are dragged when they
are soft and sloppy will settle COM
pact for the same reason that a sewer
trench, if filled with water and then
filled with dirt will settle compact
and will not settle afterwards. Mr..
Hartong declares that much of the
work that is expended dragging the
roads after they begin to harden is
wasted. Up in Madison county they
adopted the plan of dragging the
roads while they were wet and sloppy
and got so much better results that
it is b settled policy with them now;
they do not hire anyone to drag the
roads nor advise dragging them ex-
cepting while they are wet. He says
it is better to 60 right out and work
in the rain or sloppy, muddy times
than to postpone it until the roads
are drying up.
Lewis lockwood was down from
Shelley Friday afternoon and he says
people up there are taking consider
able interest in the preparation for
road dragging on the plan suggested
by the commissioners. ,

RED CROSS TEACHER HERE

Mrs. Elizabeth Morton arrived in
Blackfoot Sunday and is working in
connection with the Red Cross
chapter here.
Mrs. Morton will remain in the
county about four months and will
give a course of sixteen lessons in
Moreland, Groveland, McDonaldville
and Rockford. She will give two les
sons a week in the places mentioned,
the course being designed for women
and girls. This includes two lessons
in first aid work and the rest is sani-
tation and home nursing. The course
is free, but those desiring to buy the
text book that goes with the work
and explains it and makes it easier,
will pay 81 for the book. The course
includes what are considered the
most important things to be learned
in full hospital course Of nursing,
but Of course, is much shorter and
they do not turn out finished, trained
nurses, but they teach all they can
In. sixteen lessons on the theory that
nearly everybody gets sick and that
80 per cent of the sick people are
cared for in the home. Persons de-
string to take the course should get
in touch with their local Red Cross
officers and should commence at the
beginning. Mrs. Morton Is at the
Eccles hotel at Blackfoot. After the
course is finished in the places named
above, another group Of settlements
will be included in the course Of les
sons to be given in May and June,

Points and
Repair Depots
a. EnrOute

Much of the mail service is done
by the airboat route now. Since the
war they have been organizing the
flyers to carry first class mail for
Uncle Sam, the first mail route be-
ing established across the continent,
east and west. About 100000, 900
letters were carried by air last year,
it being experimental work and they
got the schedule down to about fifty
hours between New York and San
Francisco. Reno and Salt Lake are
stations on the line as are also
Cheyenne, Omaha, Chicago, Belle
font, Pa, and Long Island.
The airships travel on regular
schedule like the passenger trains
and alth0 they are sometimes in
terrupted by storms or accidents, yet
they keep to their schedules about as
we'll as the passenger trains do. Last
year they maintained their schedules
SO per cent of the time, rain or shine
with accidents included. The air
mail system is like the railroad, hav-
ing it's junction points and terminals,
its repair depots and service sta
tions. They are about 400 miles
apart. The schedule does not con-
template their flying excepting in
daylight.
They are sometimes delayed by
storms and accidents so that they
have to, go on in after dark and IL
there are no land marks to go by, 1t
makes it rather hazardous business.
There are about 100 airboats In
the service and only about one-third
of them are in operation, the other
twb-thirds being held in reserve. The
aiIboats carry from $4,000 to 10000
letters and with stops about 400
miles apart, the mail is sorted up and
transferred to trains for the shorter
hauls to get to and from destinations.
1t takes a mail train eighteen
hours to travel between Chicago and
New York and the airboats have
made it in less than six hours. The
flyers do not light in the cities, but at
terminals outside the city and trucks
operate between the terminals and
the post office. Mail coming west

PICTURES OF IDAHO RABBIT
DRIVES TO THRILL VIRGINIANS

Nicholas Wilson, back in Elmont,
Virginia, is going to get a real sur
prise in rabbit hunting when his
uncle, DR.. T. G. Wilson of Idaho
Falls, sends him some copies of last
Sundays Post showing the rabbit
hunt in Madison county that netted
1000 rabbits. The young man has
been telling his uncle in his letters,
of his success in trapping rabbits this
winter. Sometimes he gets one, often
times he does not get any. To show
him what real rabbit hunt Is DR..
Wilson is sending to Virginia some
copies Of The Post illustrating the
drive by the Rexburg Athletic club.
The young man attends school at
Richmond and there is no doubt but
that the papers will create quite a
sensation among the young hunters
of the Virginia capital.-Idaho Falls

PEOPLE BACKING
THE COMMISSIONERS

W. T. England was in town Satur-
day afternoon and stated that they
are receiving hearty respone to the
request made by the board to organ
ize for doing the road work free Of
charge this spring. He says about
the only difficulty in the matter is
getting tools enough to 60 around;
very few people have road drags and
everybody seems to want them.
People seem entirely willing to do
the work and consider that the small
part of the difficulty. Getting the
road drags and getting the dragging
done at just the right time is what
people seem anxious about. Mr..
England says he has met only one
man who declared his unwillingness
to work on the roads and the next
day he had changed his mind and said
he was going to help.

OFF TO SEATTLE

G. L. Myers leaves this week for
Seattle to help organize the north
western branch of the Stephenson
Gear company.
Mr.. Myers brother-in-law, a Mr..
Stephenson of Indiana has invented
a, wonderful machine for cutting the
cogs or gears for machinery. It
speeds up the work and makes 1t i'm
mensely more rapid than under the
old system and they are organizing
companies to build factories to turn
out gears. It is great improvement
over the old system and the demand
for gears is multiplying SO rapidly
with the improvements in machinery
that stock in these companies sells
like hot cakes.
Mr.. Myers says they are sending
twenty-eight salesmen to Seattle to
put on a drive in the northwest.
Mrs. Myers Is going to Salt Lake
City to visit for few weeks with
her daughter.

Blackfoot Five
Defeat Pocatello
By Wide Margin

The last basket ball game to be
played on the Blackfoot floor this
season was played Friday night be-
tween Pocatello and Blackfoot. At
the end of the first half Pocatello
was in the lead by narrow margin
of one point, but in the second half
our boys cut loose little reserve
power and ran their score up to
thirty-three, holding Pocatello to a
score Of nineteen.
Pocatello brought up good crowd
of rooters confident of victory. The
Blackfoot fans turned out Loyalty
and watched our boys vindicate them
selves. All in all it was an exciting
game with plenty Of thrilling plays
thrown in for good measure.

SAME IN BINGHAM COUNTY

In the city of Kalamazoo, Mich,
somebody made an Investigation and
found they were not assessing all Of
the property and great deal of 1t
was being assessed was not being
assessed at its true. values nor on
level with the other assessment. The
matter was stirred up and new
system put into effect " witch trey
found $S2,500 worth II properly that
had escaned taxation altogether and
they found millions of dollars worth
of property that had not been asses
sed as high as It should have hsen.
The town was combed thoroly to get
all values eQualized and 1t added
$2,082,500 to the tax roll.
Bingham county is In the same
condition only more SO. When we
get the law carried into effect that
is already provided for attending to
the assessments, we shall add many
millions to the assessed valuations.
From present Investigations It ap-
pears that the property is assessed
from about Is per cent to 35 per cent
Of its cash value and there are many
extreme cases that 90 below that or
above it, making the average about
80 per cent, making allowance for the
property that has escaped taxation
altogether 1t brings the conclusion
that the full cash value of the assess
able property in Bingham county is
upwards Of $50,000,000 and last year
the total assessed valuation was less
than $4,000, 900. When the assess
ing is done according to law, the total
valuation will be about thre times
what It is now and the rate will drop
down to about one-third or If the
rate is kept up to about half what It
is now, we shall have plenty Of money
to pay our obligations and the school
teachers will not have to take q IS
cent warrant

Every community mas 0lnorent
problem to solve. 1t is just like a
doctor, very few patients can be
treated the same altho the symptoms
might be the same. So the local COM
munities must work out their own
peculiarities, if they may be called
such, along certain lines. 1t is no
wonderful thing to go into a large
number of communities these days
and find real community team work
being carried out.
No Commercial club can get the
good will of the farmer and rancher
right on the start; It takes months
and generally years to create the
proper feeling, and according to the
reports of one Of the best CONNER
cial club secretaries in the middle
west or west, the average commercial
club has taken one big tumble in
many cities, because they try to make
a grand showing right on the start.
Community team work implies the
close cooperation of the business
man, the banker, the clerk, the
farmer, the rancher, all pulling to-
gether for one good common cause
and this cooperation and team work
is an absolute necessity for proper
progress and development.
Blackfoot has the proper founda-
ton for development in that it main
tains Commercial. club with men,
bership of upwards of 200, q Retail
Merchants association, Rotary club
and a farm bureau with an extensive
membership. The Commercial club
should be the working center for all
activity or county as a whole for its
development should pass thru this or
ganizati0n. It should be the govern
ing power and should be to the city
what the president is to the bank.
Committees should be appointed and
care should be taken in the appoint
ing Of these committees to put men
on them who are aggressive and who
will carry thru to completion any
work which may be assigned them.
Many cities today have monuments

out the proper investigation being
made as to the possibilities for such
institutions. They as a rule were
stock selling propositions and were
financed by local money, the pro-
moter moving on his way and leaving
the local people to hold the sack.
The Commercial club should be the
governing body for such enterprises
and no factory proposition or other
stock selling proposition should be
passed on by anyone until it had been
thoroly Investigated thru the proper
committee of the Commercial club.
The same proposition applies to the
fostering of trade days and banquets
to get the farmers and business men
closer together, trade excursions and
other live wire methods of getting
closer in touch with the trade ter
ritory. Blackfoot has the material
for such an organization and all that
is necessary is to push and strive.
During the last two years the
present Commercial club has been an
important factor in encouraging de-
velopment activities. Committees
have done very effective work on
