MORELAND LIKES CHAUTAUQUA

Moreland went over the top with
its chautauqua, and they are duly
grateful for the loyal support given
by the people of Blackfoot and the
surrounding country. They are very
we'll pleased with the entertainments
given, and feel that they were we'll
worth the cost. The committee had
to do a great deal of work, but the
entertainments brought an educa-
tional force into the community that
had good wholesome effect on all
who attended, and besides the direct
satisfaction arising from the enter
tainments, they cultivated taste for
something different from what has
generally been provided in the COM
munity, and it is considered a good
investment.
Leaders in the community are
thinking of contracting for 1922 and
are open to advice from the people
Of the community, who will be asked
to patronize it when the time comes.

Many cities have been retarded ir
their growth because of the lack oi
sufficient pure water for commercial
and domestic purposes. Blackfoot
has just voted 100000 in bonds fol
the further improvement of it's water
works system, which is already one
of the most efficient in the state.
The source of the water supply for
the city at this time is three deep
wells, drilled to a depth which will
eliminate any possible surface con-
tamination. The water is as pure
as can be found anywhere. .p In fact
analytical tests have shown that the
water is so near pure that it Is not
necessary to maintain filtration
system for purifying it as is the case
where surface water is used. It is
free from obnoxious mineral de-
posits and Blackfoot is noted for its
pure water.
When the new system is con-
structed and put into operation it
will be one Of the very best in the
great northwest. Sixteen miles of
mains will be laid over the city, in
size from four inches to fourteen
inches. Every section of the city
will be thoroly covered, making it
possible for every resident in the city
to not only have the water service,
but will afford fire protection to
every city lot which will decrease the
insurance rate materially. The new
system will have sufficient storage
capacity to furnish water to the city
in any emergency and the construc-
tion of the plant will be such as to
enable water to be served to city
twice the size of Blackfoot and to
keep abreast of its growth
The equipment used in the main
tenance of the water system is of the
very best available. One American
deep we'll centrifugal pump, one
Goulds triplevx plunger pump, one
American double action pump and
two six-inch American single action
plunger pumps have been installed.

Pioneers of Idaho
Falls Succumb to
Gas in San Diego

SAN DIEGO.-David H. Latham,
7S and his wife, 20, were found dead
in. their One-room apartment at La
Mesa recently. The peculiar circum-
stances of the case lead the county
authorities to believe that the aged
couple were overcome by the heat
and fumes from a gas heater and
kerosene oil stove used by the
couple, while taking a bath some
time Saturday evening.
When friends discovered the
bodies, Mrs. Latham had apparently
just taken a bath. Her body was
lying on the floor beside the bathtub,
with cut across the nose and fore
head, while the body Of her husband
was in the bathtub, but not covered
with water. 1t is the theory that
the wife attempted to save the hus-
band when the latter collapsed, and
that both were finally overcome by
the intense heat from the gas heater
attached to the water tank. The
kerosene oil stove is also thought to
have been responsible for the ex-
haustion Of the oxygen in the air of
the room.
David H. Latham had been retired
for the past ten years. With his
wife he came here in 1910, from
Fort Stockton, Tex The wife is sur
vived by one brother, George s.
Pitzer Of Brunneau, Ida, and sister
Mrs. Mary A. Bailey La Mesa. Oliver
Latham, brother of the deceased,
resides at Payette, Idaho.
Coroner Schuyler Kelley had the
bodies removed to the e. H. Stokes
undertaking establishment at La
Mesa, where they will be held until
the inquest.

Seek Location of
Oldest House in
Oregon Territory

SPOKANE, Wash. loca-
tion of the spot where David Thomp-
son, trapper and trader of over 100
years ago, built the first house in the
territory Of Oregon" which in early
western times comprised the whole
northwest, is the object of move
ment that has been started at Sand
point, Idaho. The house is said to
have been built about two and one
half miles from Hope, Idaho, and
was used as trading post by
Thompson, who was in the employ
of the Hudson Bay company.
Thompson, according to early
western histories, crossed to the
United States from Canada in 1909,
making his way over the old wild
horse trail from British Colum bia,
along the Pack river, Lake Pend
Orielle and the mountain side of the
Charles Fork river. On September
23 of the same year he embarked on
the river and proceeded to Lake
Pend Oreille in quest of a trading
post site, finally settling near Hope.
According to the history of the
IOA1ltOIy VI OIc6Ou, WulCA Ioll6 VI
the time when this territory was
made up Of the whole northwest,
the house which Thompson built
near Hope was the first in the entire
northwest. At about the same time
another trading post was established
on Lake Kalispell and in 1910 one
was built at Spokane.
Before coming to the Pend Oreille
lake region Thompson is said to have
had a long trip with the Hudson Bay
crew of map-makers thruout west
ern Canada. At one time after To-
eating in the Pend Oreille country
he is said to have made a trip to
Winnipeg with two tons of furs,
journeying the entire distance by
pack horse and boat. He is known
to have explored the entire Pend
Oreille lake country and every part
OF what is now the state Of Idaho.
Erection of monument to Thomp-
son when the exact spot upon which
his first house was located has been
definitely ascertained is being advo-
Gated. The old trading post which
he founded was burned many years
ago.

In fostering the development of {
new country there is nothing thai
plays more important part than the
maintenance Of adequate utilities
which will provide for the newcomer
all the modern conveniences of liv
ing. In the more cOngested and
older states in the union, which have
been in the process of development
for many years. all of these utilities
have been provided and the resident
of that section has come to accept
them as part of his every day life
He perhaps does not realize, their
extensiveness or the thousands upon
thousands of dollars invested in
their maintenance. SubconsciOusly
he knows they are there, but that is
as far as it goes.
Bring him into new community
however, that has not provided all OF
these conveniences and he immed-
lately realizes that there is some
thing missing. 1t may take him a
little time to ascertain what it is
and as soon as he realizes that the
himself and his family all the mod
ern conveniences they are used to,
and have had access to, he is imme-
diately unfavorably impressed with
that community.
Blackfoot citizens who have been
instrumental in the building of the
city to its present enviable position
in the business world realized this
condition and each year has noted a
marked improvement in it's utilities
until today the city is in position
to offer any and all Of the conven-
fences that are to be found in the
larger and more settled cities of the
middle west and the east. Millions
of dollars have been expended in the
building of these utilities, but it has
been expended wisely.
The Water Supply
The prime necessity of life and
one which is always first considered
in the esta blishment of a common
wealth is it's source of water supply

MYSTERIOUS FIRE
CAUSES HEAVYLOSS
Buhl Flour and Feed
Mill Totally
Destroyed.

BUHL, Idaho, An. 21.-Fire of
mysterious origin in the boiler room
of the Buhl -four and feed mill this
morning caused a loss of probably
more than 100000. With the ex-
ception of portion of the ware
house and the Offices, the entire
building Is in ruins, while the ma
chinery is total loss and the only
salvage Of the contents is 600 sacks
of -four, which were badly damaged
by smoke.
Discovered by Watchman
The fire was discovered at $40
this morning by night watchman,
but all efforts to check the progress
of the flames failed. The safe and
other office equipment and a. large
portion of the -four in the warehouse
were carried out of the burning build
ing, but the entire stock of wheat in
the bins was destroyed, there being
probably $4,000 bushels of wheat in
the bins.
The value of the building and ma
chinery was placed at 100000 By
Asael H. Dixon, manager and secre-
tary of the company.
The wheat and other products
which were destroyed were valued
at more than $4,000. Insurance
was carried on only portion of the
contents of the building and the
building itself and machinery were
only partly insured.
A large number of farmers who
had flour and wheat in storage suf-
fered total loss, as n ont carried
insurance. The mill was the only
-four mill in Buhl.
While 1t is believed here that mo
time will be lost in rebuilding the
structure mo announcement is ex-
pected regarding the future until
the arrival of directors of the COM
pany.
Directors to Confer
]. w. Mitchell of Salt Lake and
John Southworth, president, also of
Salt Lake, are expected here tomor-
row to confer with the local direc-
tors.
The blaze was one of the most
spectacular ever seen here. Not a
breath of wind stirred during the
early morning hours and the flames,
rising straight toward the sky, could
be seen for many miles from the city
and brought hundreds of farmers to
town.
The most plausible theory Of the
fires origin advanced this afternoon
was that 1t was caused thru defective
electric wiring.

FARMERS APPROVE
FARM BUREAU MOVE
Heartily Endorse Appro-
priatin of $500
for 1921

At the mass meeting held at the
court room on Saturday. afternoon to
discuss the advisability Of making
an appropriation of $500 for the
farm bureau for 1921, they decided
by vote Of twenty to one to favor
the appropriation Of $500.
There we're ninety-flve men In the
meeting, mostly farmers, all tax
payers and sixteen of them voted for
a motion to cut down the appropria-
ton to $4,000. When it came to vot-
ing for the $500, three voted
against it and there were sixty who
voted for it. A number did not vote
at all. The discussion lasted for up
wards of two hours and somebody
was wanting the floor all the time.
The county commissioners presided
over the meeting and it was opened
by reading the petition in which
dozen or fifteen taxpayers petitioned
for meeting for the purpose of dis
cussing the subject asking the COM
missioners' to defer their decision on
the matter until after this meeting.
The effect of the petition was that
the commissioners might make a
mistake if they acted before con-
ferring with the taxpayers and the
inference was that there was in
formation to be given them in the
public meeting. Acting upon, that
inference, Chairman England stated
that the meeting was now open to
be used at their pleasure and he in
vited anyone wishing to speak to
take the floor. After a pause in
which no one asked for the floor, J.
R. Williams stated that he thought
the county bureau had done a great
deal Of good and that this meeting
was for the purpose of discussing
that question as he understood.
George A. Line, former chairman of
the farm bureau said that he did not
understand it so. He said the petit
ton was in effect an effort to re-
strain the activities of the farm bu-
reau and it carried with it the infer
ence that there was information
Forthcoming. He considered the Pc
tition in the nature of an indictment
and summons to the farm bureau
and the commissioners to assemble

of having been opened and folded
many times.

BLACKFOOT WINS FROM
ABERDEEN WITH EASE

Friday evening Blackfoot again
showed the natives what it could dc
in the line of basket ball by defeat
ing two Of the neighboring villages.
The Blackfoot town team played
Groveland and score of 35 to Is in
favor of Blackfoot resulted.
The Blackfoot high school team
then played Aberdeen high school
defeating them by score of A to
16.
Both games were decidedly one
sided and Blackfoot held noticeable
advantage in both games from the
first whistle to the finish. This leaves
Blackfoot undefeated so far and still
looking for fresh victims.
