Duckworth, F. M. Fisher and F. e.
Seeger of Blackfoot, Harrison Nc
Knight Of Moreland, George A. Line

whether all of them will accept or
not.
The engagement heretofore made
between the county commissioners
and H. A. Benson to have him act a.
secretary Of the fair has been can
celled and it will probably be left to
the fair board to employ secretary.
Since we published statement about
this matter few days ago, we learn
the salary Of 5000 a month which
the commissioners proposed paying
to Mr.. Benson was to be discontinued
thirty days after the close Of the fair
in the fall SO that he would not be on

Southeastern Idaho
to Combat Proposed
Power Increases

The mayors Of every city in south
eastern Idaho are expected to be
present at a meeting called by Mayor
Eagleson of Boise for the discussion
and proper airing of the request Of
the Pocatello Gas & Power Co. and
the Idaho Power company for an in
crease in rates from the public
utilities commission.
The meeting has been set for
Thursday morning in Boise. Mayor
Whitaker of Pocatello stated that
he has two men employed in Poca-
tello, under authority Of the city
council, who are checking the in
ventory of the two companies, who
are filling the request for increased
rates. The mayor also stated that
in telephone conversation with
Mayor sEagleson of Boise that the
Boise mayor had told him of finding
a discrepancy Of .$1,00O,000 in one
day between the statement as filed
with the utilities commission and the
actual Inventory.
Mayor Whitaker takes q strong
stand In this matter and maintains
that the rates are already much
higher than the average paid by con-
sumers in Utah towns. Many citi-
zens are backing the mayor in this
matter and publicly state that with
the lowering of wages and material,
tney can see little excuse for rates
which are already burdensome.-

INDIANS IMPROVE
RESERVATION HERD
Registered Stock Will
Be Added by Stock
Men

r. w. Dixey representing the
Indian cattle mems association from
the Shoshone and Bannock reserva-
tion at Fort Hall, went to Salt Lake
last week and bought sixty head of
registered Hereford bulls for distri-
button among the cattle men of the
association. They are planning to
sell all the old bulls on the fall mar
ket and there are associated together
in this organization, a number of the
most successful stockmen On the
reservation. For while there were
less than dozen of the Indians who
raised livestock in any considerable
number and really made money at
1t Others have followed their lead
and the number Is constantly increas-
ing of hose who accumulate herds
of profitable size to operate rather
than to go along with just few.
Last year there we're in the tribal
herd, 1913 bulls valued at $4,000;
100 cows and heifers valued at
$48,490; 102 steers valued at $S,-
100; 276 calves and yearlings valued
at $1,000; 119 spring calves, $1190;
making total valuation Of 10000.
Besides these there were owned
among the individual Indians twenty
bulls valued at $1,000; $500 heifers,
$22,500; 1000 horses valued at
$4,000; 1900 mares valued at
$4,000; 600 steers, $4,000; $50
calves, $500 making, a total of
$4,000.
During the fiscal year ending June
80, 1920, they sold stock, principally
cows and steeds amounting to
$63,680.

GROWERS ACCEPT
BEET CONTRACT
1900 Acres of Beets
Have Been Signed
Thus Far

A good many farmers in this
county are planning to raise beets
for the year 1921 on the terms Of the
contract we mentioned a year ago
with minimum Of IS q ton for beets
with sugar selling at $3.50 or SO to
$12 beets with sugar selling at $3.50
the variation being based on the
sugar content.
The Blackfoot sugar factory has
eight men in the field soliciting sig
natures to contracts and ur to last
Saturday they had signed up about
1900 acres. The contract Is written
by the sliding scale and all things
will adjust themselves more or less
because the price of sugar. the price
of labor and operating costs and the
price Of other commodities are likely
to be affected by the same conditions
and will all go up or down together.
1t cannot be definitely know just
Whist any Of these expenses will be.

President Harding
Favors Early Pass
age of Tariff Bill

President Harding suggested to
Chairman Fordney that the house
ways and means committee sound out
the senate Republicans as to the
feasibility of early passage of an
emergency tariff that would take care
of farmers.
The proposal was discussed at
some length, but It was said the COM
mittee reached no definite conclusion.
1t was the idea of the president,
members said, to, avoid an embargo
and to limit the bill to very few
items, including the wheat and wool.

Deep Well Proves
Abundance of Water
Present ON Desert

The pumping demonstrations at
the Thorpe dry farm Monday and
Tuesday showed that the water "a
present in abundance, that It can be
lifted to the surface for irrigation
and that people are interested In
pumping enterprises.
When strong power pump ID first
set to operating ON q new we'll, 1t
draws sand, chips broken of in drill
ling and various forms Of mud, and
in this instance probably q ton of
such matter was lifted during the
day. The expert pump man OCCASION
ally discharged air from the force
pump out into the we'll to blow the
sand and other debris loose and open
up the crevices from which the water
feeds into the shaft of the we'll. When
this would be pumped out the
flow of water would be stronger.
When the first pumping was done
on Monday 1t was III feet down to
water and the water was 127 feet
deep. The water level fell twelve
feet, but after it was cleaned by
Mondays pumping, they could only
lower the water eight feet by con-
stant pumping, showing that there
was abundance of water and the
openings cleared out for its passage
to the pump.
The pumping outfit was something
Of makeshift, the sizes Of pump,
air pipe and discharge pipe not being
properly matched to work in perfect
harmony. Every outfit has to be
fitted out according to the depth,
pressure, size of we'll and the vari-
GUS things affecting the equalization
of capacity.
The expert in charge of the Job
spent two days getting the outfit into
Its best working condition and said
the important features are that the
water is there in abundance and the
outfit properly installed will lift it in
profitable quantities for irrigation.
The outfit used lifted at the rate of
$50 gallons minute and that is
equal to seventeen inches of water as
used in irrigation. BY increasing the
capacity Of the pumping outfit, larger
streams can be secured.
About 200 men visited the demon
stratiOn and those who saw 1t operat-
ing after the well was cleaned
showed keen interest. The demon
stration was brought about by the
activity Of q number of local men
among whom were s. v. Clevenger,
w. J. Thorpe, r. w. Farris and q
number Of business houses in Black
foot, who contributed to the expense
of sinking the well.

The First Easter Morn
J. D. GILLIAN

The CORY crosses stood alone;
The nails that held their victims to the wood
We're drawn but from the middle tree,
Whence flial Christian mercy had removed
The body Of the Lord The hurrying soldiery
lnhumanly had torn the bodies of the thieves away
And left the bloody fastenings intact
Golgotha's heights deserted now of human kind
Were still An early raven lone and grim
In silence sailed athwart the hill
To break his fast in Hinnom's vale
On refuse thrown outside the city's gates .aor.
The Man Of Sorrows sleeps in Josephs tomb
And gives to every grave perfume sweet;
And shall till death Is sain not fail to Bless
This gateway dark that leads from earth ...#.
TO heaven. About his resting place
The Roman soldiers, leal to dutys call
Stand ready thus to die.
The morning star above brown Olives heights
Assists the growing dawn outline the shape
OF faithful Mary Magdalene. who hurres out
". Win spices to embalm and sanctify the form
OF him who said, "Thy faith hath saved thee
Go in peace" .-.
Amazed she stops, flying past her
To'rd the town, unarmed and terror-strcken ,.
Come the guards who erstwhie watched the grave,
The Sorrow bearers only spot for rest.
Then on she goes. Fear ne'er deters ..
me neart when moved By love. She hastens now;
But near approached her heart stands still
Ane 'omo 'S empty-the body of her Lord is gone!
With eyes bedimmed with tears that welled
From out broken heart, she turned and saw
man she thought the keeper Of the grounds.
Who said: why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?"
She answered. "Sir, II thou be he
Who took my own dear Lord from me-
Please tell me where thou hast him borne
That may seek him out this morn
And carry him away
Then. he she thought the gardner.
(But WAS her very yPardOner)
With voice that has Tor aya passed death, 81. H
That now speaks with immortal breath,
