BOXING MATCH AT
IDAHO FALLS SOON
Potter of Idaho and
Davis of Utah are
to Meet

Promoters Clarence Brooks and
Bert Hayes announce the opening of
the olympic Athletic club in Idaho
Falls and have arranged one Of the
classiest cards ever seen at the local
club to be staged Wednesday, March
29, by matching Henry Potter, light
heavyweight champion of Idaho, and
Less Davis Of Ogden, light heavy
weight champion of Utah, as the
headliner on the program, which will
have at stake the light heavyweight
championship of the two states.
Potter needs no recommendation
to boxing fans Of this vicinity, owing
to his performances in the squared
circle thruout the Snake river val
ley, and is known as a good, clean
boxer, who always gives the fans a
run for their money.
This Davis fellow $50 tits sad) has
terrible wallop, which seems to
carry sleep-producing drug with It.
MIR. Davis has the reputation of win
ming his fights by the knockout route
winning his last fourteen bouts via
the aforesaid route. But-lean your
ear this way-we are of the opinion
that Mr.. Davis is due for surprise
If he has the ambition to continue
this little trick, for when he meets
Hen" he will have to have a brick
in his glove If he expects to admins
ter the sleep producing potion, for
Henry can take healthy ones and can
also hand them out. Potter and
Davis are both of the aggressive and
fighting type of boxer and should
prove an excellent match.
The semi-windup will find Duke
Potter of Ririe exchanging wallops
with Nerve Christensen of Pocatello.
Duke is a conner" among the young
boxers Of the state, with wicked
straight left and a right hand cross
that usually means curtains for the
fellow who stops it. Christensen is
also young conner" of Pocatello
and has large following of fans
gained thru his performances in Po-
catello.
In addition to the above there will
be three good preliminaries to start
off the evenings entertainment.

1.-THE CRATERS OF
MOON IN IDAHO"
IS NAME GIVEN
Lecture to be Given
on a Chautauqua
Circuit This
ID Summer
PICTURES TAKE N
Publicity Campaign to
Be Started
Soon

"The Craters Of the Moon in
Idaho" Is the name finally adopted as
the name for the extinct crater
region west of Arco. This is the in
formation received few days ago
by the Arco Chamber of Commerce
from R. w. Limbert, noted explorer
from Boise, who last summer spent
considerable time exploring this
phenomenal scenic attraction. WI
The region has been known in the
past as the valley of the Moon"
Some time ago steps were taken to
change the name to something more
appropriate and original, as there is
valley in California already known
as the "Valley of the Moon"
Not long ago the Arco Chamber
of Commerce asked the people Of this
comt1nnity to submit names for the
valley. A committee was appointed
to look after this matter for the club.
The committee at once got in touch
with Mr.. Limbert as he and the Boise
Statesman had been largely instru-
mental in putting the region ION the
map" thru a well-managed publicity
campaign.
A few days ago the Chamber of
Commerce received letter from Mr..
Limbert in which he stated that the
new name had been selected so that
tourists would not become confused
with the name of the California sec
tion and the Idaho craters. In the
letter Mr.. Lmbert enclosed a proof
sheet of a large window poster, ad-
vertising lecture to be given on
chautauqua circuit this summer The
inscription On the poster reads,
Take a Trip to the Moon, Right
Here in Idaho. A lecture on Idaho's
Newest Scenic Attraction by Beb
Limbert, Taxidermist, Naturalist,
Explorer and Lecturer" The poster
is highly illustrated with pictures
from the Craters of the Moon, taken
by Mr.. Limbert last June when he
spent two weeks in the region with
party of explorers.
Mr.. Limbert also states that the
National Geographic will undoubt-
edly contain his article in the. near
future. He has submitted, at their

RETAILERS AP.
POINT COMMITTEE
To be Ready to Meet
With Agricultural
Organizations

The action of the National Retail
Dry Goods association at it's conven-
tion in New York in appointing a
standing committee merchants to
keep in touch with committees of
agricultural organizations brings
hope of some new things worth
while.
This committee was authorized to
be ready at all times to meet with
representatives of agricultural or
ganizations for the purpose Of dis
cussing and developing points Of
mutual interest between the Ameri-
can farmer and the American retail
distributor" and to develop "closer
relations with the American farm
organizations"
When one recalls the suspicion be-
tween merchants and farms organ
izatiohs few years ago, which was
based largely on the attitude Of the
latter towards middle men," this
effort of the great national body Of
retailers to work with agricultural
associations indicates swing Of
sentiment in a desirable direction.
Spokesman for farmers, including
the secretary of agriculture and the
president of the American Farm
Bureau liberation, occupied prom
inent places on the program of the
retailers convention, and there were
many signs that the fact that their
prosperity is indissolubly linked with
that of the farmers, who furnish
about 40 per cent of the country's
purchasing power, is now fully ap-
preciated by the merchants.-New

DEMOCRATIC TAX MEETING HELD AT
THE COURT HOUSE LAST SATURDAY
Former Internal Revenue Collector Was the
Chief Speaker; Devoted Much Time
to Lambasting the Republicans

On Saturday afternoon there was
a tax meeting at the court house at
which Mr.. Williams, former internal
revenue collector was the chief
speaker. The main purpose of the
meeting was to organize a Demo
cratic club, and that was attended to
after the address.
Howard Henderson was made
president; Miss Jessie Lloyd, vice
president; H. A. Benson, secretary
and L. G. Collins, treasurer.
Charles =. Harris presided at the
meeting, and made some introduc-
tory remarks. Mr.. Williams then
followed and devoted most of his
time to lambasting the Republican
state administration and telling
some jokes that fell rather fiat. He
made one good hit when he said that
the first time he ever visited Black
foot was when he had just been ap-
pointed internal revenue collector.
and was going UP the street when
some lady called to hm and told him
her little daughter was dying. He
accompanied her to her home near
by and found the little girl ap-
parentlychoking, and he picked her
up quickly and by, accident stood her
on her head, when she coughed a
quarter of dollar and was i'm
mediately restored. The mother was
surprised and grateful at the happy
turn of events and said, "Why are
you doctor?' and he replied, "No,
madam, I am a collector of internal
revenues" And that was the in
iatiation to his work. .t =
Mr.. Williams faced an audience of
about fifty people and in berating
the administration he had some
figures that were not at all correct,
and in some of his appeals he exag-
gerated matters. The simple truth
would have been bad enough and
more effective than the exaggerated
and incorrect statements which he
made. In giving the amount of taxes
collected in Bingham county he put
it at 100000 which was $4v2,VoO
too much, and in ridiculing Governor
Davis about his 'taXless state" he
showed that he either had not lis
tened carefully to Davis challenge
about the taxless state or he mis-
quoted him. Davis said that if the

people would only apply the savings
bank thrift in state finances for
eighty years they would have &C.
cumulated revolving fund that
would yield sufficient interest in
come to pay all the expenses of state
government. He did not say he
would make them practice such
thrift, and he. would have had a
dickens of time to do it with such
reckless ;flabbergasts as Mr. w liliams
to help him, if Williams proved to be
as reckless in his thrift as he was
with figures.
Mr.. Williams said there are so
many officials and employees at the
state, capitol, that II a person will
look them over as they come out at
noon, it looks about like a higG
school, where there are 1900 or so.
He said that large numbers Of them
put in six hours a day manicuring
their nails and powdering their
noses and one hour a day at work.
He said that Governor Alexander was
accused of spending a lot of his time
travelling about the country when he
was governor, but that. Governor
Davis travelled a thousand times as
much as Alexander, and was now, or
recently, on a chautauqua circuit in
Oregon, and the speaker read from
a newspaper, some comments on his
arrival at Portland in that work. He
said he read in a Boise paper not
long ago, ID. w. Davis, governor of
Idaho, passed thru the state yester-
day."
Much of Mr. Williams address
was made up of disconnected state
ments, which, taken by themselves
did not prove anything nor contain
a fair or convincing argument. The
audience was not responsive, tho
they applauded him a time or two
when he cracked pretty good joke
or made an exaggeration that was
When the meeting was
over and most of the audience had
mixed with the crowds on the street,
somebody spread the story that Mr..
Williams had told about state Of
ficials having embezzled $4,000 and
that nothing was being done about it.
The Republican writer listened to
the whole address and heard no in

City Council Are
Having the Streets
Cleaned for Summer

The city fathers are having the
streets cleaned and washed.
At the council meeting Tuesday
evening they. directed the cemetery
committee to take up the problem of
making distribution system for the
water at the cemetery, which Is now
connected with the city mains.
The park committee was directed
to employ park attendant and to
fix his wages.
They adopted the price of 35 cents
an hour for manual labor for this
season.
They decided to employ three men
regularly to keep the streets in
order, paying them SIS month.
Complaints having been made that
some places had been found in the
new paving that looked like they
might be defective, the committee
was directed to investigate, and If
they found defects, to bring it to the
attention of the contractor. The
work is all guaranteed for five years
and the firm has been very respon-
sive in making good.
An ordinance was adopted pro-
viding for the garbage cans and re-
moval of the contents three times a
week by the residents, as outlined
in this paper last week.
An ordinance regulating the
handling or keeping Of livestock
within certain limits was read once,
but not yet adopted. The reason for
this ordinance is that some people
who have kept livestock in the town
have infringed upon their rights and
privileges so, much that complaints
have been made and requests for an
ironclad regulation. ,

ELK RESCUED FROM
BOTTOM OF CANYON
Block and ackle Used
to Hoist Elk Over
Brow of Hill

ASHTON, Idaho.-To protect and
save the lives of Uncle Sans wild
creatures will draw an appeal as
strongly as the desire to slaughter,
when that wild game is in imminent
danger and the season is closed, was
evidenced this week in Ashton when
about dozen men labored practic-
ally an entire day in rescuing two
year old COW elk from the bottom of
Warm river canyon, about nine
miles above Ashton.
Claude Waugh, in returning from
a hunting trip at Mesa ran across the
elk stranded at the bottom Of the
canyon. He came on to Ashton and
reported the same to j. T. Sparkman,
deputy game warden. Mr.. Sparkman
Immediately made preparations to
rescue the elk. Owing to the deep,
soft snow, it was impossible to get
teams within miles Of the spot and
dog teams were then called to the
rescue. Olcot Earn, the boy con-
testant in the American Dog Derby,
rendered the services of his team and
the sled was loaded with block and
tackle and long ropes. At Warm
river station Mr.. Sparkman secured
the help of Joseph Howard, D. T..
Howell, John Keppner, Oakland
Walker, Robert Gunther, H. Shep-
pard and Lester Carter and these
men made the trip over the deep
snow on snow shoes and skis to the
spot where the elk was in distress.
After lowering the men by the
block and tackle method over the
walls Of the canyon, the elk was
fastened to the end of the rope and
hoisted by the men and dogs to the
brow of the hill.
The elk showed the effects Of her
privation very plainly. She was
thin and emaciated and her hoofs
were badly water soaked and were
bleeding from where the rocks had
torn the feet in trying to scale the
almost perpendicular walls Of the
canyon.
The elk was taken to the ranch of
Joseph Howard and given a feed of
hay. She has been there since and
is becoming quite tame. Unless in
structions to the contrary are re-
ceived from the state game depart
ment, she must be taken out toward
the National Park boundary and
turned loose as soon as she is con-
sidered able to care for herself.

FOREST RANGER FINDS NEW
KIND OF BAIT FOR TROUT

Grand Junction Sentinel
Ranger B. G. Sucher Of the Alexan-
der Lake region has proved himself n
second Isaac Walton by experiments
carried on within the past few months
ut the lakes. For time last season
he succeeded in attracting a number of
fine specimens of trout with canned
herring, but it didn't seem to fill the
bill with perfect satisfaction, SO he
continued his experiments as occasion
offered this summer, with a great dis
coyery that he believes may revolu-
tionize the angling sport and reap
heavy casualties among the aquatic
beauties in future years.
Not long ago Mr.. Suchcr glanced ut
what remained of a can of oysters and
started to throw them in the lake
where he was fishing. On the inspira-
ton of the moment he stayed the ac-
tion, pulled out his hook and suplant-
ed his writhing angle worm with a
fat cove oyster. One long cast, a COM
motion in the bottom of the lake and
a battle of several minutes ensued
with the reward of seven pound
rainbow, the most dazzling specimen
taken from the waters this season.
Subsequent angling with canned
oysters in the Alexander lakes has
proved wonderfully successful, ac-
cording to Mr.. Sucher, where many
trout of large proportions have been
hauled in that scorned the multicolor-
ed flies, spinners, grasshoppers and
angle worms.

DEMOCRATS WILL WIN BY BIG
MAJORITY, SAYS Ed. I. TAYLOR

imately, for the current fiscal year.
This will have TO be made up either by
bond issue or by additional taxes on
the American people.
"The Fordney- Nc cCumber tariff bill
is by far the highest and most out
rageous tariff ever enacted in this
country, and will seriously injure the
Republicans in this campaign, and
will defeat the Harding administration
in 1924. They have put high tax on
everything under Heaven, from the
baby's safety pin TO the tombstone
over the grave of the Oldest inhabi-
tant. The bill is utterly unconcion-
able and inexcusable. 1t is not based
upon the alleged Republican principle
Of protection for purposes Of equaliz-
ing the differnce between the cost of
production in this country and abroad,
but 1t is made so high that it is inev-
itably bound practically to destroy our
foreign commerce.
I'VE cannot sell IL we do not buy,
and when we build a tariff wall around
our country so high that other nations
cannot sell US, it is bound to react
disastrously against us"
"The official Republican campaign
book for 1922 is largely devoted to
thrashing over the old straw of two
years ago, and to stabhing the help
less remains of DIR. Wilson,, as they
call him." Congressman Taylor de-
clared.
about twenty foreign governments
owe US. 100000, 900. Not one Of
them ever intends to pay US a cent.
There is the most gigantic conspiracy
and propaganda in the world today
organized throughout Europe, with a
lot of big newspapers and interests in
this country, including American in
ternational bankers and importers,
trying to bring about the cancellation
of all this Indebtedness and shift it
to the books of the taxpayers.
81 warn the people to watch out
for the public officials in this country
who are playing into that gigantic
swindle of the American taxpayers.
We will be able within the next year
to put our collective finger on some
Of these officials.
Those governments have no money.
There is no way they can pay us
, what they owe US save by selling us
goods. II we deliberately put tariff
wall around the country 50 high 1t is
an embargo against them selling US
anything, it will absolutely prevent
Us from ever getting that money or
even any interest upon it."
Congressman Taylor praised Presi.
dent Harding personally, but charged
that che Is too much influenced by q

wealthy gentlemen who know exactly
what they want"
