BLACKFOOT CAN HANDLE
THE PROBLEM

There are two or three relics Of
barbarism that are being practised
in this community that we should
like to have the people of the COM
munity give some attention to and
decide whether they will modify
them enough SO that they will be
subjects of less annoyance.
We refer to the practice Of some
Of the young people going out and
doing damage to property under the
pretence Of having some fun at
Halloween time, and for a night or
two preceding Halloween. Another
subject that we would like to see
dealt with is the practice of the
chivarari-when somebody gets mar
ried. These celebrations are often
carried beyond the point Of of jolifi-
cation so that they become very an
noying to the people who are mar
ried. The other subject we wish to
deal with is the matter of having
combustible materials scattered
around in peoples Easements where
there are furnaces or where there
are some other things liable to take
fire and burn out the house and per-
haps the neighborhood. Coupled
this is the practice Of allowing child
rem to have access to matches and
permitting them to build fires when
ever and wherever they wish to, and
leaving them burning while they go
away to other amusements. Of
course matches are still useful things
in the community and the household
and, it it probably impossible to keep
them away from children, but it may
be practical to teach the children not
to be starting fires. 1t Is quite pos
sible that people having rubbish in
and about their houses could dispose
CT it in such q way that the children
would be HANDICAPPED in finding ma
terials to burn them out with.
We believe the average citizen, il
he would make survey of his prem
ises and a CAREFUL examination of
his basement at the present time and
examine his flues and his stovepipes,
would find one or more fire menaces
that he could dispose CT himself in a
short time. At this time of the year
when people are just starting to use
their furnaces and heating stoves,
Is a good time for everybody to give
some attention to these matters. inc
other two will require considerable
careful study and careful work
among the rising generation.

THE CITY OF BLACKFOOT
SHADE TREES

The City of Blackfoot has too
many shade trees and they stand in
the way of identifying the lawns.
Many of the trees have been injured
by drought in the past season, due to
a TX CT irrigation when construction

the water cut off. Trees have died
IN the top as the result of lack Of
water in other years and more Of
them will be dying this year due to
the drought of this year. Blackfoot

is already affecting other towns in
Is and other western states, a sur
2lrs Of labor and a shortage Of
money and the necessities of life.

DISCOURAGING FEATURE OF
THE PEACE CONFERENCE

open covenants openly arrived
at" was slogan used by former
President Wilson until it was ap-
,plauded by all the world, and when
they met to put It into practice the
sessions became the closest secret
discissions that ever attended a
treaty. Even the president OF the
United States who originated the
slogan for openness, seized the cables
leading to his own country so that
nothing could be reported to the
folks at home even tho 1t leaked out
and became public information in
Europe. When the documents were
practically completed, the president
brought copy home and explained
to senators what it meant, and when
they got copies of it and studied it,
they did not agree with him as to
it's Interpretation and refused to
ratify its, terms.
Now we have a meeting of the
peace conference called by President
Harding on American soil to try to
disarmament, and it has been earn
estly hoped that these sessions would
be open and frank on the American
plan, but now it begins to crop out
that the guests from Europe are not
expressing approval OF that plan, and
as we cannot dictate to them in the
matter, it, seems settling down to
matter of meeting quietly and talk
ing it over in secret sessions with
the press representatives and all
others barred This takes some of
the hope out of the situation, tho
it does not render it hopeless, for the
disarmament treaty between the
United States and Great Britain
that was negotiated in 1872 and
which has been operating salts
factorily for over century was done
quietly and the public were Informed
afterwards.

Our States !

~ THE story
~zaAA ington, the
NJ 49, Van for ty-second
III XII state Of the
M ~ Union, is tied
@@94%W up with two
4!NS of our presi-
dents. The first Is obvious, for
it was in honor Of our first presi-
dent, George Washington, that
the state was named, as a last
ing memorial to this great SOL
dier-statesman. But the actual
fate Of this region was due to
President Polk, and formed the
main issue In his campaign for
election in 1874.
Previous to that time, the
country north Of California and
extending to Alaska, which was
then owned by Russia, was called
the Oregon territory. Claim was
laid to this region by both Great
Britain and the United States as
has been seen in the story of
Oregon. In 1918, when the boun-
dairy between Canada and the
United States was settled, this
line was definitely placed from
the Atlantic coast to the Rocky
mountains. But no. agreement
could be reached west Of that,
and it was left under an arrange
ment whereby this territory was
to be Jointly occupied by the
British and Americans.
Settlers from the United
States began to come into the
Northwest in such numbers that
the United States felt that they
should own this section, which
included the present states Of
Oregon and Washington, and
British Columbia, through the
right of possession. Agitation
in favor of actively pushing our
claims became so strong that
when Polk was nominated by the
Democrats in 1874, one Of the
main planks in the party plat
form was the famous one popu-
larly called, "Fifty-four forty or
fight"
In lS46 peaceful settlement
was made with England on a
compromise basis.
In 1853 Washington territory
was separated from Oregon. It
did not, however, become a state
until 1889, and then only after
thirteen years petitioning for ad-
mission.

SAD ENDING TO USEFUL LIFE

man, historian, critic and savant, and
brother of the late President Manuel
de Arriaga, Is an inmate of the Lis
the poorh0use, In Ill health and pen
niless DIR. Jose de Arriaga resided
for long time In Brazil. where he
collected notes on Brazilian life and
literature. 1t was after his return to
Portugal when he was arranging with
an editor for the publication Of a
book on Brazil that he was taken Ill
and, after struggle against advers-
ity, was obliged to take refuge in the
poorhouse.
He Is a direct descendant Of King
Alfonso III of Portugal In the seven
teenth generation and of King Ra-
miro II Of Leon and Castella, and
the twenty-fifth grandson of Hugh
Capet, duke of France and count Of
Paris and Orleans.
His brother. the late president, died
poor man partly because Of his In
flexible republican opinions which led
him to refuse, at one time, to serve
as tutor to the sons of the then king
Of Portugal. For his ardent efforts to
establish republic, the Portuguese
feel that they owe a debt of gratitude
to President de Arriaga.

, GREETING
| STRANGERS

SIhANUEhS
The idea put forth Tuesday by ths
Civic Club concerning a committe,
to greet strangers is one of the mos
progressive thoughts brought out In
Winnemucca in a long time. Otter
impression of city is formed during
the first few days in town and If a
person is entirely ignored that I'm
preston cannot be favorable. There's
no use ducking the issue, either. We
all know strangers have criticised be-
cause they've been allowed to amuse
themselves at public affairs. We
don't mean that strangers should be
taken Unfortunately into home and
so on. but hearty handshake doesn't
cost anything and the danger Of con-
tamination is slight.
The writer heartily hates Chicago
because he happened to reside for a
short time in neighborhood where
no one cared whether he liver or died
If someone had given him a slap on
the back about that time he'd have
been their everlasting friend. Often,
too, young people come to town and
take up with an undesirable class be-
cause they don't know any better.
They were not advised as to what
Mary's cat had done in years gone by.
But they get lonesome and the social
outcast Is the only one extending a
friendly hand, the social outcast not
caring whether the stranger turns out
good or bad. Soon after the new
Corners learn of their mistake, but 1t
is too late. They've been placed in
the class of company they keep. The
truth is they had no choice-other
folks wouldn't give them chance to
break down a dignified, exclusive
barrier.
By all means, go ahead, ladies OF
the Civic Club. Give strangers a
chance to learn what nice people we
have here and maybe then they can
pick their own friends of the class
they prefer. 1t will also give Winnie
mucca a good name as hospitable
city. Hospitality denotes progress
siveness. and good people like to
make new homes in progressive COM
munities.
Another message The Silver State
would like to convey to the ladies OF
the Civic Club is the frequent favor
able comment concerning the recent
card party. 1t was appreciated as a
means of throwing people together in
friendly and harmless conversation
that could be accomplished in nc
other way. And when given chance
to talk to folks, sometimes hastil,
formed opinions are cast aside ant
you've found a character we'll worth
studying. The card party was ten
strike and we hope there'll be more
of them.
