Blackfoot's First
Post Master Pays
Visit Here Sunday

T. T. Danilson, the first post
master of Blackfoot, was in town
Sunday for the first time in about
thirty years. He came in with his
nephew, John T. Danilson and wife
of Pocatello and they drove around
looking at old landmarks.
T. T. Danilson was brother of
Major w. H. Danilson, who was the
Indian agent at Ross Fork in the
long ago and afterwards q merchant
at Blackfoot. T. T. Danilson first
had a ferry and store west Of the
present site of Blackfoot, his resi-
dence at that time being the log
room at the rear of the present resi-
dence of 3. A. Doud. He operated
the ferry, built the store in front Of
his log house and operated that un-
til the railroad came thru when he
opened the store that was after
wards the Danilson & Stevens store
by the railroad track. i.
T. T. Danilson lives at Spokane
now and Is reviewing several towns
In eastern Idaho, where he operated
stores while the country was new and
railroads were in the making.
Mr.. Danilson thought he would
like to 60 out and visit the old ferry
and the old store. One Of their child
rem was born in the log house at the
Doud farm, and it was quite q snug
habitat at that time. In the course
Of forty years cottonwood logs can
do considerable decaying, and when
he saw the old hut in its present pro-
cess of decay, when he saw how very
small 1t really is it did not seem
like the same old place where he and
Mrs. Danilson lived and celebrated
the coming Of an heir and there was
q touch of sadness in his visit. He
said he was glad Mrs. Danilson was
not along with him this trip to the
old place.
Mr.. Danilson said he received his
first appointment as post master thru
having done little stunt Of hospital
ity when the assistant post master
general came west on a tour Of in
spectiOn and he went out to Snake
river to fish. The party had no sue
cess at fishing, but Mr.. Danilson put
some beer on ice in a tub and took
It out with them in the boat and they
buried their disappointments in cool
draughts Of good liquor. At some
future day this was remembered
by the man who had the
to name the post master.
On Sunday afternoon the Danil-
sons went down to the Stevens ranch
to have look at the old place and
to view again the little log cabin
which Mr.. Stevens hauled down from
Soda Springs and erected there. For
> long time 1t was the only house in
this part Of the world that had q floor
In 1t, and people came great distances
70 hold their dances there. Anyone
looking at 1t now would hardly think
of It as dance hall, 1t is so very

PLANS LAID FOR
WOODMAN PICNIC;
BIG TIME SUNDAY
Roads { Guaranteed to be
in Fine Shape Room
for All to View
Scenery

Four camps Of the Modern Wood
men Of America will join in holding
their 1921 picnic in Wolverine can.
1yon on Sunday, June 10. Pocatello,
Blackf0ot, Shel.ey and Idaho Falls
camps have Joined in making this
event big day in the woods.
The Pocatello contingent will come
via Blackfoot and those In the vicin-
ity Of Blackfoot will assemble on
Broadway and leave for the canyon
at $50 Sunday morning. Those from
Shelley and Idaho Fails will make
their own arrangements under the
auspices Of their local camps as to
time Of starting and routes to be
taken, presumably via Goshen, the
county gravel pit and the short cut
across the Presto bench to the mouth
Of the canyon.
The Blackfoot camp guarantees to
have the road in good condition ard
free from rocks, ruts and chucks. A
combined committee OF Modern
Woodmen and Woodmen Of the
World went out last week and put
the road In good condition and in
spected the whole canyon as to the
most feasible sites for picnic parties,
and strong road committee from
the Modern Woodman camp Of
Blackfoot has arranged to 60 over
the road again on the eve Of the
coming picnic and pick out all loose
rocks and make needed repairs as
we'll as to clip of all remaining limbs
that scratch the cars In passing. The
WOodmen Of the World have since
changed the plans for their picnic
and will hold 1t at some other place
and date, as they have some features
or ceremonies that require a large
stream or body Of water such as
wolverine does not afford, according
to district chief Watkins, who was in
from Pocatello the last of the week.
The roads into and thru Wolverine
were just completed in 1920 and
