UTAH AUTO ASSN
ROUTING TOURISTS
Protest Made; Signs to
Be Built On
Highway

1t was lately found that tourists
to the park had been directed away
from the Yellowstone highway and
over the Snowville road, which is
new and a longer route. Investigation
was made and it was found that the
routing was coming from the Utah
Automobile association, and pro-
test was made to w. D. Rishel,
secretary of that association.
Mr.. Rishel denied the special
routing over the other road and a
party in interest of this country
went to Salt Lake. R. O.. Graham,
member of the party and pioneer
in this country, dressed as a tourist
and went to the association to ask
information and was told to take the
Snowville road because it was better.
Not being satisfied with this he
waited until Mr.. Rishel arrived and
told him that he especially wanted
to go over the Yellowstone road and
was told that it was passable, but
that the Snowville road was. the bet
ter of the two. Mr.. Graham then
swore out an iffidavit telling of this
misinformation.
A meeting of representatives of
the Commercial club organizations
of Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Rexburg
and Ashton was held Monday after
noon at the office of +. A. McMaster,
secretary of the Idaho Falls Cham
ber of Commerce and the alleged
discrimination in the routing Of
tourists out of Salt Lake discussed.
1t was decided to erect two sign
boards, one at Brigham CITY, Utah
and one at Yellowstone park, call
ing attention to the hard surfaced
road on the Yellowstone highway,
the cost of these boards to be dis
tributed among the various clubs OF
the valley benefiting from such a
move. r
The boards will be placed in
noticeable positions and drinking
fountains will probably be erected,
means for the tourists to fill the
radiators of their cars and also
parking places provided. A resolu-
ton was drawn up and sent to the
Salt Lake Commercial club request
ing their aid in the matter Of stop
ping the misinformation.
Tuesday committee of Salt Lake
men met with R. o. Graham of Po-
catello and drew up an agreement
whereby tourists were to be asked
which road they wanted to take and
it's condition told them also the
shortest route pointed out. Mr.
Graham will submit this agreement
for approval at Pocatello.

COMMITTEE MET

The Republican county central
committee met Monday afternoon
and went over matters of detail con-
cerning the appointment of officers
to serve at the primary election and
other things of party interest.
The election clerks and judges
who serve at the primary do not re-
ceive any pay for it, and it is the
purpose of the officers to appoint
the same ones to serve at the gen.
eral election at which time the
county pays for the service.
Mrs. A. H. Simmons was ap-
pointed chairman of the wpmen's
branch of the central committee or
a vice chairman to represent the
women, and George H. Heaton was
appointed to represent Kimball, w.
B. Wright for Riverton and Chester
Tolman for Fort Hall. T. s. Becker
of Aberdeen resigned but nobody
was appointed to fill the vacancy.

DUBOIS PROJECT .
GAINING PRESTIGE
Plans to Couple Dubois
and American Falls
Projects

q The Dubois Irrigation Project has
suddenly moved into the limelight
and is receiving much consideration.
The original project in 1914 in
cluded 25O,O00 acres of land, but
has been cut in recent years to a
project Of 125,000 acres to irrigate
from the Island Park reservoir. "
Chief Engineer D. T. Murphy pre-
sented plan at Pocatello, whereby
in addition to the Island Park unit,
the waters of Jackson's Lake were
to be diverted to the Dubois area
thus developing 175,000 acres Of
new land on the Dubois area and the
money paid for this water would
greatly assist in the financing Of
building a dam at American Falls.
This plan has met with approval
and has aroused the keen interest OF
Secretary of the Interior Fall and
DR.. Arthur P. Davis, director OF
reclamation at Washington, both OF
whom will soon visit the project.
The first investigation will be made
to confirm the feasibility of the new
canal line from the south fork at
Heise, thru Rexburg to the project
lands just below Dubois, and thru
this canal it is proposed to handle
the Jackson Lake water. Mr.. Banks,
engineer of the reclamation service
at American Falls has advised the
executive committee in charge OF
the project that the United States
government will participate in the
cost of the. new survey on the basis
of 81 from the United States gov
ernment to every 50 raised by Bing-
ham, Bonneville, Butte, Jefferson
and Clark counties. This concession
comes after seven years of struggle
in which the communities interested
have been endeavoring to qualify for
govrnment assistance.
The United States reclamation
service engineers under the super.
vision of Mr.. Banks will likely &c
into the field early in June and
authentic information will probably
be available as to the cost per acre
of irrigating other Dubois project
lands in the latter part of the sum.
mer..
The coupling together of the
American Falls dam project and the
Dubois project has served to greatly
tranquilize feeling in southern Idaho
and in a large sense has put more
confidence into the people that the
great project Of the state-the
American Falls dam-will be con
structed in the near future.

Broncs Win From
American Falls by
Score of 10 to !

The Broncs won from the Ameri-
can Falls team last Sunday by a
score of 10 to 1. The Blackfoot
team had good support from all it's
members and held it's opponents
scoreless until the eighth inning
when Evans of American Falls
scored. Blackfot played little diff
ferent game than usual by making
their scores before the seventh inn
ing while as a general rule their
strong play is at the last OF the
game. q,
Epling made two base hit and
Simmons a three base hit. Black
foot's lineup was Howard p, Epling

PLANS COMPLETED
FOR ARC0 ROAD
Be Ready to Leave Post
Office at s a. NJ. ~4
June 2l\/

The plans of the Blackfoot Com
mercial club for improving and
routing the road between here and
Arco have been entirely completed
and it Is now up to the citizens OF
Arco and Blackfoot to see to it that
they are CARED out. The Arco Com
mercial club have sent word that
they are going to cooperate with
the people at this end as they realize
the benefit accruing to the two COM
munities thru good road. The
Rotary and Kiwanis clubs of Black
foot have signified their willingness
to assist. Some of the Boy Scou
troops have promised to turn out in
strength on the appointed day and
the club feels that that means real
help. These fellows may not be very
big, but they weigh about twenty
two ounces to the pound on an oc-
casion of this kind.
According to L. B. White, chair
man of the Commercial club road
committee, the plans are as follows:
The road has been routed with a
view of securing the best and most
dependable highway and will be
posted with steel signs SO that
travellers will not wander from the
proper course. This route has been
decided upon after due considera-
tion and with the very best informa-
ton obtainable at hand. Those parts
'of the road which are rocky and
rough will be cleaned off and
smOOthed.@ h
The Blackfoot supporters will as
,semble at the post office Wednesday
morning, June 81, promptly at a.
m. and leave Immediately for Taber
where the Arco boosters will meet
them. Those going will bring their
own tools such as shovels, picks,
bars etc. Cars will be there to convey
them to the scene of action. The
refreshment committee guarantee q
plentiful supply of eats to be served
when the pangs Of hunger overtake
the gang. O. E. Bills is the car COM
mittee and If any local citizen has a
car that he is willing to use this day
call number A and ask for Oren.
These are fine plans but 1t takes
people, the more the better, to make
them successful. An invitation Is
extended to all whether they be
business men, farmers, scouts,
students. In fact anybody that can
help is not only invited, but urged
to be there in the interest Of his
community.
Lets go. Wednesday, June FL, 8
a. M, post office.

motored to the camp of the Boy
Scouts of troop 4 at Wolverine with
four gallons of ice cream and a num-

The boys are having the time OF
their lives there and they all dread
the time when they will have to re-
