promotion of highways and good
roads thruOut the county. This is
one feature in which the CONNER
cial club should play an active part.
In fact if the Commercial club could
gain the reputation of being classed
as nut" when it comes to good
roads it would be one of the very
best advertisements that the city
could have. -.
The Commercial club backed and
fostered the ho4Iing of the county
fair in Blackfoot last year which was
such a great success. More than $50
exhibitors were In attendance at this
fair and the best exhibits were taken
to the state fair with the result that
several prizes were brought back to
Bingham county. Working in con-
junction with the county farm bureau
the fair was the first that has been
held in the county since 1916, and
was made the very best in the history
of the county.
The Commercial club has taken the
initiative in the extending of school
work. in the fostering of new build
ing which Is badly needed to relieve
the congestion in the Central school.
1t was very influential in the foster
ing of municipal Improvements such
as the securing of five miles of paw
ing thruout the business district of
the city, the building of new water
works system to cost 100000 and
fostering the building of an entire
new sewer system for the city. It
played an important part in secur-
ing the teachers institute for Black
foot which will be held this year and
which will bring to the city 1000
teachers for week.
The Commercial club is interested
in agricultural development and
courts the cooperation Of the farmer
and the other organizations Of the
county. 1t stands ready at all times
to do its part.
The board of the Commercial club
are E. M. Kennedy, cashier of the
First National Bank, president; A.
T.. Springer, manager of the Black
foot Hardware & Electric Co., vice
president; F. J. Stone, cashier Of the
Blackfoot City Bank treasurer;
Everett E. Sanders, assistant CASH
ier Of the Standrod Bank, secretary;
and o. E. Bills, manager of the Bing-
ham Motor company, E. D. Bloom,
superintendent of the city schools,
Otto Mas, manager of the Eccles
Hotel, Ted Enlow, manager of the
Bon Ton candy factory and ]. A.
Stewart, real estate dealer on the
board of directors. These men come
from diversified industries and are
qualified to pass upon the various
questions that come before them.
They are working in connection with
other organizations of the commun-
ity to secure greater cooperation
and team work between the people of
the town and country, and to secure
a greater share of the tourist travel
to the Yellowstone park and other
scenic wonders of the west.
The secretary is placing some
valuable publicity for Blackfoot in
the national tourists guide. The
executive board have contracted for
three years business ssbuilding cam
paign under the management of the
American City Bureau.
