Rotary Club Holds
Interesting Session

A very interesting and instructive
session of the Rotary Club was held
Tuesday evening following the reg
ular monthly club dinner
DR.. B. H. Hudson, the president,
was welcomed back by the members
after an absence of about month,
during which time he attended the
meeting of the State dental board,
of which he is president, at Boise,
and the American Dental associa-
tion's convention in Los Angeles.
He spoke entertainingly on the many
interesting features of the gather
ing, which was attended. by about
5000 dentists from all over the
world, among them 27 Japanese
dentists, who came to this country
for their training and now practice
their profession in their native
country.
The principal address of the eve
ming was given by E. w. Whitcomb
on the primary law of Idaho. His
address was instructive and interest
ing and held the attention OF his
hearers to the last. Other interest
ing talks were made by Carl Miller
of Bowling Green, KY, superintend-
ent of the Blackfoot Chautauqua
sessions; E. T. Peck, on his recent
motor trip to Boise and Payette
Lakes, and Michael Barclay, on hi:
motor trip through Yellowstone
Park and the Jackson's Hole country
in which he stated that he travelet
approximately 500 miles on his tril
and the worst stretch of road en-
countered was that from Blackfoo
to Gibson.

of the entertainment committee, in

GET YOUR SERVICE
BERRIES PICKED
Bushes on Lower Levels
Are Loaded With
Ripe Berries.

Service (sarvis) berries are ripe.
The second week in August is
good time to pick them. Those
growing on the lower levels of the
mountains ripen earlier and those on
the high lands later. People who
have been out report that the pick
ing is very good now. Go to any of
the canyons and look on the shady
slopes rather than on the sunny
sides. The snow drifts in and lodges
on the protected slopes and makes
conditions about right for fruit
trees and shrubs. Choke cherries
ripen about the first Of September.
If you go upon the reservation,
remember that it Is the Indian coun-
try, and you are not to break any
vines nor bushes. Do not destroy
anything in nature. Leave every
thing just as you find it, the same
as you would do in city park. The
Indian does not object to your pick
ing the fruit from his lands, but
when you break off bough, you Of
fend and damage the proprietor. He
loves everything in nature and con-
teaches his babies that the bird in
the tree is his pal, and that the tree
itself is a part of the Great Spirit
sent to hold up the bird and the
leaves and to temper the atmos-
phere and make shade for all life
that comes that way. When you
cross the Blackfoot river, be an In
dian, and a good Indian, until you
cross back again. Every thicket is
in a sense, a drug store for the In
dian, for he studies the nature of
the spirit or essence of each herb
that grows, and in sickness he sleeps
the herbs, flowers and barks,
and uses some of their spirit
to mend his own, and he holds each
of them in reverence.
If you do not believe in these
things, the Indian does not care nor
bother you about 1t; it is his affair.
But if you do not believe In such
things and feel like ignoring the
Indians rights to have his country
preserved the way he wants it, then
do not cross the River BlackfoOt,
but stay on your own side.

SHORT Line CAN
MOVE IDAHO CROP
Platt Says There is no
Immediate Cause
For Alarm.

H. V. Platt, general manager Of
the Oregon Short Line railroad, in
answering a telegram from Senator
,Borah, Of Idaho, concerning the ef-
feet of the shopmens strike on the
movemnt of the early potato crop in
Idaho, said that there is no cause
for alarm.
Mr.. Plat in the telegram said:
There is no cause for alarm in Ida
no. The Oregon Short Line will be
able to move the early potato crop
of Idaho without question. Our con-
dition is getting better every day,
and we have no apprehension what
ever as to our ability to furnish am
pie cars for the Idaho crop move
ment.
1T is my judgment and there Is
no doubt in my mind that when the
early crop movement is over the
Oregon Short Line will be in a po-
sition to handle anything else."
In his telegram to Mr.. Platt, SEN
ator Borah said that he had received
number Of inquiries from Idaho
residents expressing uneasiness over
the situation.

North Idaho Fires
Now Under Control

All fires burning on the Pend
O'Reille and Kaniksu forests were
reported under control Saturday,
though many still were burning and
extensive damage had been done in
the Observation-Disclosures dis
tricts included in the forests.
The Denton creek fire, which
threatened the forest experiment
station with destruction, was stopped
after it had spread over one thous-
and acres. A fire on Kalispell
creek was reported to have covered
about 500 acres, but the loss was
comparatively small.
The total number of fires report
ed in Kaniksu forest this season is
70, in the Pend O'Reille 1O4, and
on the lands of the Lumbermen' s
Protective association, almost 100.

Resources Of State
Banks Show Gains

Idaho's state banks have passed
the low point Of deflation and are
now beginning to show gains in re-
sources, it was announced by J. G.
Fralick, state commissioner Of fl
nance, following the compilation Of
the statements of the 119 state
banks as of June 30th, 1922.
"This is something we have not
been able to say for the past two
years. Mr.. Fra1ick commented,
"and it is truly a great pleasure to
make this announcement"
While the resources of the 119
banks are not as large as they were
a year ago, the commissioner says,
yet the general condition shows a
more solid foundation. Loans and
discounts have been decreased more
than nine millions.

FARMERS BUILDING
! POTATO CELLARS
Canyons Swarming With
Men After Pine
4 Timber.

Practically all of the communities
of this county are represented in a
great exodus of teams and wagons
going to the distant canyons for logs
and poles to be used in building po-
tato cellars. A good many farmers
have been contemplating such work
for some time, and following our an
nouncement last Friday that there
were about five thousand acres OF
potatoes within radius Of twelve
miles OF Blackfoot, and that very
few of the owners of these potato
fields have any storage facilities
and that it will be impossible to
ship any such quantity at digging
time, large numbers of farmers took
prompt action in starting construc-
tion work. 1t is reported that thirty
two teams and wagons started from
Thomas alone on Monday, headed for
pine timber in the canyons from
thirty to eighty miles distant.
F.. A. Starkweather has been
working for couple of weeks on ex-
cavations for three cellars, and left
Thursday morning in company with
Oscar Neuman of Riverside to go
to Island Park to arrange for ship
ment of four carloads OF pine tim
ber to be used on their farms. Mr..
Starkweather is making two cellars
3Ox11O feet, with walls three and a
half feet in the ground and the rest
above. He is making one cellar
/. 30x130 feet and says the three Will
have a capacity of about fifty thous-
and bushels.
The Blackfoot Potato Growers
association is working on brick
and tile potato warehouse at Collins
to have a capacity of sixty carloads

ELECTRIC STORM

A severe electric shock in the
storm Thursday at Moreland felled
three trees. Mrs. Orson Manwaring
and son Leonard, Of Groveland, were
visiting with Mrs. Orson Collister in
Moreland when the shock came. The
lightning struck a tree near the
house, splitting 1t and causing part
of it to fall on the house. 1t broke
the shingles and one limb went
through a window into the room
where the ladies were sitting. All
three occupants were stunned for 9
few minutes from the shock.

SERIES OF POTATO
MEETINGS HELD
Roguing Demonstrations
Given By County
Agent.

A series of potato meetings; is be-
ing held throughout the county un-
der the direction of the county
agent. These meetings are held In
potato fields which are centrally To-
Gated in each community and in
structions are given in identifying
potato diseases and in roguing out
diseased and weak plants.
The best potato growers in the
county are following the seed plot
method to improve their potatoes,
which is as follows:
Plant one-half to three-fourths of
an acre Of specially selected, large
size seed, either from home grown
or certified stock. Rogue or pull
out all single stalk, weak or diseased
vines early in the season before the
tubers form. Rogue several times
during the growing season, taking
out tubers as we'll as wines when
they are large enough to be taken
by the digger. Stake out the larg-
est spreading, most uniform vines
before the plants wilt down and dig
with shovel before harvest, keep
ing those hills that have a large
number of uniform, smooth disease
free tubers for seed plot the fol-
lowing year.
The balance of the seed plot can
then be used for seed on commercial
fields. Keep the best for seed plots
and the next best for common
planting.
Mosaic, which is a potato disease
new to most growers in Bingham
county, is becoming quite prevalent
and 1t is very important that it be
rogued out il we are to continue to
grow potatoes. This disease is car
ried both by seed and by insects.

E. D. Bloom states that at the
of the guarantors' for tine
held Wednesday noon,
it developed that the committee
will be about fifty per cent short
on the guarantee. This means that
the deficit will have to be met by
the signers of the contract, which
will take the Joy out of chautauqua
for them. 1t is sad plight for the
signers to have to do this because
the general public was slow in pur-
chasing season tickets.

Plans In Prospect
For Sugar Making
Il. II. Hubbard Writes EncouagingIy
ON Important Nevada
Industry

There Is good prospect that the
Fallon sugor factory will resume op-
erations next year, as most encour-
aging letters are being received from
people back OF this big industrial
asset with the hopes that the people
OF this section will see their way
toward helping to put it over.
In a recent letter Mr.. +. IL. Hub
bard, writing to A. J. Reed, states
that the movement Is on to finance
the company for a run next season.
Mr.. Hubbard pays considerable
attention to the boosting of the pro-
Ject as a farm center, stating that he
Is personally advising the young men
OF his section to go west" with the
Lahontan valley as the objective. He
states that he hopes to be in Fallon
at no distant date when he can go
into definite plans with the chamber
of commerce and the people OF this
section.
In writing of tests made of beets
from this valley he says that the
beets are the best available in the
entire west. Tests of the beets show
an Is per cent sugar content and 81
per cent purity, while Michigan beets
subjected to the same test, ehowed
81 per cent-a difference of over so
pounds of sugar to the ton.
In his letter he is asking that the
chamber lend all possible assistance
and goes into some detail in regard
to the future of the industry.
Undoubtedly this will be among
one of the intensive drives of the
chamber this winter and early spring
as the resumption of sugar manufac-
ture means much in the way of real
money to the farmers of Churchill
county. II is expected that definite
information regarding the propos-
ition will be in hand within a short
time
