Chas. D. LaFever
Passed Away at
Mackay Sunday

C. D. LaFever, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles LaFever, died at
Mackay Sunday morning, April II,
after an illness of several weeks. The
malady was hemorrhage of the
stomach, and his life has been des-
paired of for some time preceding
his passing.
Mr.. LaFever lived most of his life
on Lost river, having gone there with
his parents when he was quite young.
In the days of early settlement of
that country he spent much time on
the range and in freighting across
the desert, suffering intolerable hard
ships on the open plains in the dead
of winter and the extreme heat Of
summer. He has been engaged in
the livestock business and has been
very successful in recent years, tho
the reverses that came to the stock
men the past year and half made a
hard financial strain for him. A
little over year ago he added s10,-
900 to his life insurance and the
policy is in effect.
Mr.. LaFeyer leaves a wife and two
daughters, Mrs. David Jones, Just
married last August and Miss Elsie
LaFever. His parents are both liv-
ing, and there is one brother Ralph,
and sister Mrs. Wesley Davis.
The remains will be, buried at

The white man talks great deal
with his mouth. Some of them run
off" at the mouth. The Indian is
less SO. His mode of expression and
communication involves more of ST.
lent study and listening-sensing
impressions. When the white man
comes around as a chatterbox it dis
turbs the Indian. Much talk is an
Interruption of his meditations and
he withdraws or remains silent, toll
Grating the noise till it subsidies. 1t
is only when he has finished his
sober thought and mingles with those
of his own turn of mind that he un-
bends and becomes chatty for time.
A good insight is obtained into the
Indian mind and his mode Of thought
by reading the writings of Julia Dar-
raw Cowles touching their different
phases of life. She has written a
series of stories of Indian nature
myths gathered from many tribes,
and some of the choicest of them are
assembled in book form with a
preface that we know you will enjoy
reading so we insert it here, followed
by one of the stories referred to. 1t

Farley P. Price
Brings Sheep in
From the Desert

Farley P. Price shipped his 4400
sheep up from the American desert
couple of weeks ago and has taken
them out on the Snake river plains
to Craze until he can get in on the
Bonneville lease on Willow creek
for lambing. tg@
Mr.. Price said it cost him about
80 cents head to take them to the
desert and winter and return them,
and it costs $3.50 a head to winter
them here. The winters are not
severe down there, but still there is
an element, of risk in taking them
there because they do sometimes have
storms that kill the sheep.
Last year when Mr.. Price tried to
buy hay in Bingham county a good
many of the farmers asked him SIS
a ton for hay, and the least that
anyone offered to sell at was 81 ton.
After counting the expense of ship
ping the sheep to the desert and back
he decided that he could save from
$4,000 to $4,000 by taking them to
the desert, and it came out about as
he estimated.
If he had bought hay at some of
the higher prices quoted, where they
had the quantity he wanted and in
suitable locations it would have made
greater difference in the cost OF
feeding them there.

1@' Preface .f
The stories of this book have been
chosen for the purpose of showing
how the early red men accounted for
the phenomena of nature-the pres
ence of the birds, the moaning OF
the wind, the whispering of the
leaves. The nature. myths of the
North American Indian are full OF
poetry, and occasionally of a rich
,humor. In retelling the stories for
children the author has sought to
retain the original spirit of the tales,
and thru them to give to the reader
a better understanding of the inner
life and thought of the primitive
Red Man at his best. The tales have
been gathered from many sources,
and are representative of many
tribes.
Eit 1t is well known that the same tale
in varying form is told among many
different tribes, just as the folk tales
have been carried in early times
from one nation to another and are
yariously accredited It is not al
ways possible to determine the
original source. III
Z Before reading or telling the
Indian Nature Myths to the children,
1t is best to explain that just as they
love to wonder and imagine about
the new and strange sights and
sounds of the world, so the early
races of men, the children of time,
loved to wonder and imagine. And
SO these stories of nature grew out
Of their imaginings; and some of the
stories are so beautiful, and some of
them are so odd, that men have re-
peated them from one generation to
another, ever since,-for even when
They no longer believed them to be
rue, they loved them.
The above story was taken from
indian Nature Myths by Julia Dar-
'ow Cowles, copyrighted and pub
lished by A. Flanagan company,
Chicago.

Blackfoot Highly
Cornplimented by
Food Inspector

G. X. Macy, the pure food and
sanitary inspector, representing the
department of public welfare, ar
rived In Blackfoot Friday and has
been engaged in an inspection of the
hotels, drug stores, soda fountains
and meat markets of Blackfoot.
On Monday morning he stated that
the Eccles Hotel was one the town
has reason to be proud Of; the Dore
and Blackfoot meat markets, he said,
were well equipped and in. good con-
dition, the Pacific is in fine condi
tnon, but is newer and not so elabor-
ately equipped yet. The Dore market
he said, was as fine market. as he
knew Of anywhere, and the slaughter
houses for the Blackfoot markets
are we'll kept. tS'@
He said he found the drug stores in
good condition, and was strating in
on the Main street eating houses this
morning. He said the worst think
he had found at Blackfoot was leaky
roofs that let water get into the
buildings and spoil the. plaster and
make mould and other disagreeable
and unsanitary conditions.

WOOL GROWERS TO
HOLD WOOL CLIP
Decide to Ship Product
to Boston by the
Water Route

!, Woolgrowers of southern Idaht
and eastern Oregon will ship theil
1921 wool clip to Portland, where j
will be put in storage until the mar
ket price rises to reasonable
value" when it will be shipped by
way Of the Panama canal to Boston
at an estimated saving Of more thar
cent a pound over the railroad rate
This decision was reached at 9
meeting Of representative eastern
Oregon and southern Idaho bankers
and woolgrowers Wednesday after
noon in the Chamber of Commerce
Several million pounds Of wool from
southern Idaho will be affected.
Among those present at the meet.
ing were Hugh Sproat, president OF
the Idaho Woolgrowers' association;
J. r. Blackeby of Ontario; Fred Par
mer of Jordan Valley; Ben Darrow
and Price Newman of Shoshone,
Clyde Bacon of Twin Falls and B. T.
Craig and Andy Little of Emmett as
well as representatives of local banks
and Boise sheepmen. aa
Harry Coon of Boise was delegated
to 60 to Portland Immediately to
make arrangements for storing the
wool clip.
Want Greater Value
Those who attended the meeting
were of the unanimous opinion that
the growers could not accept the pre-
vailing prices and that they must
store their wool until it has an added
value, and the meeting was called to
devise ways and means to finance
and store the clip until such time,"
said Boise man after the meeting.
Many advantages are to be had by
shipping to Portland and storing
here instead of shipping directly to
Boston, sheepmen declare. The
storage rate in Boston is 25 cents
per bag as against only Is cents per
bag in Portland, where the insurance
'ates are also lower.
The railroad rate from Boise to
Boston is $3.46 per hundredweight.
From Boise to Portland it is 80 cents
Ind to Boston from Portland, via the
Panama canal, $1.20. Other expen-
les such as marine insurance, warf-
lge, fire insurance, etc, enter, but

ng by shipping this way will be at
east 1 cent per pound.
Sheepmen also declared that this
method of handling the clip, which
Iltho not pool, would eliminate the
