CAMPAIGN INFORMATION

The primary election will be held
in Idaho on Tuesday the first day Of
August this year for the nomination
of county and precinct officers. The
state officers will be nominated by
the convention plan on the fourth
Tuesday in August, at Occur
d'Alene.
Candidates to be voted on at the
primary must file their nomination
papers not more than sixty nor less
than thirty days before the time of
election. The last moment at which
papers can be legally filed will be
Saturday, July 1, at 4.59 p. m. The
office may be legally closed at 4.60
and if papers are filed later than
that that it would be by the consent
and favor of the county clerk or his
assistants. Two years ago they were
asked to hold the office open a few
minutes, and then they were asked
to hold it open few hours, and it
resolved itself into an. impossible
situation and it was decided that the
only way to handle it was to close
the opportunity at o'clock.

Student body Hold
Big Picnic at the
Fort Hall Bottoms

The last big event Of the school
year was held last Thursday, when
the boys and girls had their student
body picnic at the Fort Hall Bot
toms. Many of the students went on
horses and others in cars.
The events of the day were base
ball game between the juniors and
seniors with the juniors winning,
Lunch was eaten then a baseball
game was played by the Freshmen
and sophomores with the freshmen
winning, a tug-of-war between the
freshment and sophomores with the
sopohomores winning and between
the juniors and seniors with the
seniors winning. The pull was
made over a stream that was waist
deep and the sopohomores and
seniors evened the score with the
freshmen and juniors by dragging
them thru the water.
Altho the day was windy there
was no dust there and the students
had good outing.

How to Invite En-

Blackfoot is winning an en-
viable reputation among Poca-
tello people from the fact that 1t
is a clean town and nicely satu-
ated. A leader of education who
paid the town a visit recently con-
fessed that it was more attrac-
tive place to live than the Gate
City, and better environment
for students in school. People
who come up and look around
some, place orders for chickens
and berries and other fine things
which our local people raise to
eat, and they go back feeling that
Blackfoot is a good place to keep
in touch with. This is the spirit
that leads to the formation OF
trade relations that make mar
ket for our produce and it makes
the most desirable Of trade rela-
tions-the district from producer
to consumer which the depart
ment Of agriculture has been try
ing for so long to find ways to
establish. You can help the
thing along by inviting your Po-
catello friends to come up and
spend day with you on a trip.
II you don't know just what to
say to them, send them this, clip

BLACKFOOT IS TO
CELEBRATE FOURTH
Committee Will B e
Chosen at Meet
in Friday

At a meeting of the commercial
club held Thursday evening, May
25, the matter of Fourth of July
celebration was discussed and 1t was
decided that Blackfoot would lead
the surrounding towns In big cele-
bration.
A meeting was called for Friday
evening, June at o'clock to be
held at the court house and the
members of all lodges and other Or
ganizations in Blackfoot arespecially
urged to attend. At this meeting
appointments will be made for the
Arco road expedition and commit
tees will be appointed for the differ
ent events of the Fourth of July
celebration.
The plans are to have out-of-door
sports and contests in the forenoon
following the parade and one or two
ball games in the afternoon. In the
evening there will be large dis
play of fireworks.
In recent years Blackfoot has
omitted celebrations of the Fourth
several times and other towns and
settlements have entertained, and
this year Blackfoot wants to be the
host to as many of the outlaying
towns and settlements as will con-
sent to come in. People have turned
out generously to the fair and Black
foot people have taken the Fourth
of July and Twenty-fourth to go out
and visit the other places in the
county. This year they want to put
on something big at the fair grounds
on the Fourth and leave the Twenty
fourth an open date to go to the
country towns. Then again in
September they want to put on the
big annual show and bid everybody
come.
Blackfoot has a rather dull trad
ing season just now, and it gives
plenty of time for the business and
professional element of the town to
prepare for a big event.
Be at the meeting Friday evening
to put forth your ideas and to take
your assignments on committees.

St. Anthony Girl
Commits Suicide
at Reno, Nevada

Miss Ella Kerr of st. Anthony
committed suicide in Reno, New. on
April 10. Miss Kerr left home April
8 on shopping trip to Pocatello and
did not return. No trace of her was
found until Friday, April IA when a
letter was received from Reno Of
ficers containing photograph of a
young woman, who took her own life
there on April 10. The letter stated
that the woman had come to Reno
on April 9 and had registered as
Mrs. A. r. Richardson, Central
Square, New York. Among her ef-
fects was some currency of the
Idaho Falls National Bank and the
letter and photograph were sent
there. c. G.. Keller, a former en-
ployer of Miss Kerr, recognized the
photograph and notified her father
at St. Anthony, who. left immedi-
ately for Reno and identified the
body. By further investigations it
was found that Miss Kerr had
bought a ticket to Ogden at Poca-
tello and another on to Reno from
Ogden.

Government Plane
Damaged by Wind
at St. Anthony

Lieutenant r. L. Maughn and
Corporal G.. w. Schroeder were
forced to the ground in government
aeroplane No. s at $50 Thursday
afternoon, May Is, in an attempt to
take OF. This aeroplane and o. 8,
piloted by Lieut.. j. B. Morgan and
Sargent E. l.. Coate, have dropped
literature in all the towns of the
valley in regards to the Citizen 3
Military Training camp at Fort
Douglas and they landed in st.
Anthony in high wind.
Lieut. Maughn in charge Of No. 8
was to lead of and be followed by
No. 8. After making the start
Lieut.. Maughn made a clever lift In
his course to miss a fence and on
clearing 1t his machine was caught
by strong current of wind and
wrenched out of its course, but by
dexterous maneuvering the plane
was kept upright until it hit high
ditch bank. The wheels were crushed
back under the plane, the under
gearing practically stripped and the
longeron, two motor bed members
and the landing gear were broken.
The machine is so badly damaged
that it will have to be shipped to
Los Angeles to be repaired.

GUESTS TAKE AD-
VANTAGE OF HOSTS
Forget That Cars Can
Very Easily Be
Overloaded

People often wonder why folks
having autos so often go out for
drives with empty seats when there
are others longing for just the
chance which the empty seats af'
ford. The Republican has been inter-
viewing people about that and
studying it with a view of finding
out just the why of it, and it may
interest you.
Owners of cars often go out for a
ride whe nthey find they have room
for another person they may ring
someone who has no car and invite
the person on the phone to grab his
or her wraps and be ready to 60 at a
certain time and say, 1--WE will call
for you Then the person on the
phone is liable to say, "All right
thank you. We will be ready"
Who in the dickens is "we" and
what is the inviter going to say tc
the one invited? When he drives
around for the one passenger, he
finds two or three or the whole fam.
lily out on the curb ready to load
down his car and mash the seal
springs clear thru his cushions. He
wishes he hadn't spoken, and the
next time he probably does not ring
up.
Another thing that often happens
is that when he arrives he is told
that so and so will be ready in just
a minute. A wait of few minutes
and he is informed that so and so IL
changing her dress and will be Out
in just a minute. After more wait
ing she appears as if she were going
to dress affair instead of out into
a little dusty ride where nobody sees
and nobody cares. The inviting
party wish they had not spoken, fol
part of their half hour is gone ant
the drive, already too short, has

MACKFOOT SUNDAY
Blackfoot Trims Rex
burg in Memorial
Day Game

Blackfoot won from Pocatello last
Sunday in the fastest game yet
played here. Both teams had splen-
did support from the field and base
men and the game was one to be
remembered.
There were no scores made until
the last of the seventh inning when
Philip Bell went to first on a center
field hit. Martin Howard hit and
went to first and Bell to third.
Howard stole to second and Bauers
hit over second scoring both Bell
and Howard.
In the first of the eighth Poca-
tello made two runs and had a man
on third and on first. The man on
first led of and drew the ball to first
and the man on third started for
home plate. The ball went to second
to head the first man, but Black
foot's second baseman was on his
job and pegged the ball to the home
plate making the third out.
In the last half of the eighth,
Leo Warren hit into the left field
and scored Simmons and altho Poca-
tello used two pinch hitters in the
ninth inning they failed to score
and gave the game to Blackfot by a
score of to 2.
!. Tuesday afternoon the Blackfoot
baseball team won from Rexburg
with a score Of 14-O When the Rex
burg team were warming up it
looked as tho Blackfoot was going
to have a hard game to paly, but
when the game started the home
team showed their superiority.
In the second inning Blackfoot
made five runs and added three in
the third and six in the sixth inn
ings. Blackfoot's support from the
field was good and very few Rexburg
men got to flrst base.
The batteries for the game were
Cripper and Bitters for Rexburg and
Epling and Felt for Blackfoot.
Frank Garvin acted as umpire.
A large number of fans witnessed
the game and gave thir best support
to the team.
Blackfoot will play the Lava Hot
Springs team at Lava next Sunday
and another victory for the Broncs
is expected.

GOVERNMENT TO
ALL0T FOR PROJECT
F nance Committee Has
Been Advised by
Engineer

F. A. Banks, engineer of the
United States reclamation service at
American Falls has officially ad-
vised the finance committee Of the
Dubois Irrigation Project that the
United States government will allot
certain funds for the Dubois project
surveys which are to be undertaken
by the U. s. reclamation service en-
gineers.
Mr.. Banks advises that funds up
to $4,000 have been allotted on the
basis that for every 81 made avail
able by the State Of Idaho combined
with Bingham, Bonneville, Butte,
Clark and Jefferson counties, and
the citizens generally, the U. s. gov
ernment will add 81.
On receipt of this advice the COM
missioners of Clark county mailed a
check to the fiscal agent, U. S. recla-
nation service at Denver and other
county allotments are expected to be
sent within two weeks.
hTe various units with which the
government will participate will
raise a total of $1,000 the greater
part of which is already pledged and
it is expected that the actual work of
survey will be commenced at once or
as soon as Mr.. Banks can get en-
gineering corps in the field.
The lands which it is proposed to
irrigate lie in the triangle BlackfOot-
Arco-Dubois and comprise an i'm
mense tract of excellent soil much of
which is already settled and laid out
in model farm units.
This victory for the project came
only after seven years of struggle
in which the various units were
qualifying themselves for that as
sistance which the government will
afford provided the communities to
be benefited demonstrate their in
terest and faith by putting effort
and money behind the preliminary
work.
The first survey will cover route
for Jacksons Lake water from the
south fork, thru Rexburg to the Du-
bois project lands at a point five
miles south of Dubois. On account
of the immence expenditures that
the success of the project would
cause in Madison county an effort
is about to be made to interest the
people of that county in the work OF
assisting in the earlier financing OF
the surveys.

CHIEF DISAPPROVES
EDITORS ACTIONS
Individual Relief to be
Extended on
Projects

Guy Flenner, head Of the Idaho
Reclamation association, which Is
conducting the American Falls cam.
paign, state most emphatically that
he does not approve the attitude OF
the Washington editors, who
threaten reprisals if the McNary.
Smith reclamation bill is not passed
at this session of congress.
"Such threats only place stumb.
ling blocks in the way of this bic
development program contemplated
by the McNary-Smith BILL" Mr.
Flenner continued.
"This is purely business matter
1t is. in no sense political. Advo.
Gates of reclamation are, for the
most part, from states of small
population and small voting power
They must sell to representatives OF
heavily populated eastern states
such as New York and Pennsylvania,
the fact that future national ex-
pansion depends largely on reclama-
ton in the west, and that eastern
manufactures should be concerned
in the new markets that would be
developed. To antagonize these
people with political threats from
more or less impotent political
part of the United States, as to vot.
ing strength, seems to me to be
puerile and unbusinesslike; and II
certainly gives a wrong impression
of western motives and methods.
81 am glad to note that individual
relief is to be extended to all needy
settlers on government projects
such as the Minidoka, and that, in
meritorious cases, their water will
not be shut off this year because OF
non-payment. Our association went
on record for individual rather than
blanket relief and made persisten1
aod vigorous representations tc
Washington on the subject last
winter"
Mr.. Flenner says the signing ol
petitions asking for an election or
the proposed district relating to the
proposed American Falls reservoir
project is progressing satisfactorily
The Twin Falls South Side is the
last to complete the petition, he
added.
