Gooding Lunberman
Visits In Blackfoot
!. During the Last Week


Richard Evans, manager of the
Farmers Lumber company Of Good
ing, visited Mr.. and Mrs. Byrd Trego
at Blackfoot Tuesday Of last week
on his way home from the lumber
mems convention at Salt Lake.
Mr.. Evans has been studying the
tax question in his county for the
past couple of years and became so
Impressed with the bad financial con-
dition OF the Gooding school district
and the inefficient methods of hand
ling the school business and accounts
that he offered his service as "dol-
lar-a-year man." to audit their ac-
counts from the starting Of their
district, to straighten up lost and
mixed accounts, to systematize their
business and to install a system of
accounting
The school board accepted his ser
vices and night after night have
listened to his reports and recon-
mendations, and have authorized
him to make neglected collections,
erect old errors, complete unfinished
records and in many ways straighten
out tangles and mend losses. He
has been working on the job in his
spare time for something like year
now, and is getting nearly caught up.

Plan ROAD WORK
.WMLay Goshen Gravel
About Eight Inches
Deep on Road ].

The commissioners Of Bingham
Ecounty have made decision, as to
what they will ask the state and fed
seral government to do in road con-
sstruction in this county this year.
q They have made application for
seo-operation to lay Goshen gravel
road from the Bonneville county
line south and from the sugar fac
Tory pavement at Blackfoot north,
The Goshen gravel is to be laid eight
inches deep and rolled down into a
base for hard surface to be put on
,at some future time.
vi The public have been informed re-
xarding the contention over this mat
;tEr, and it is doubtful whether the
application for q divided piece of
work--laid in two different sections
vail be approEAd. The haul of gravel
from Goshen to the Bonneville
county line and to the sugar factory,
ranging from about seven to seven
teen miles is q very long one for any
thing but railroad to make. II we
wish to put on a hard surface, as we
probably will in a few years, it will
be covered with mud and it will
probably not be acceptable as a base
on which to lay the hard surface.
The enterprise seems to be- fraught
with heavy costs and danger points
which the commissioners have prob
ably given careful study to, and they
may know how they are going to
reconcile the outcome with the light
of experience and the wishes Of their
constituents. .o...

The county commissioners have
appropriated $4,000 for the use of
the farm bureau this year and 1t Is
to be operated more and more as
a source of information and of plans
than ever before. The press Of the
county is to be used as a source of
distribution of information regard
ing the work, and people can keep
in closer touch with its activities in
that way than ever before.
There is quite a marked desire
on the part of the organization, to
devote considerable attention to d.
recting the study and the activities
Of the boys and girls to . proper un-
derstanding and following of the best
practical methods of producing
things on the farm. and they will
try to have an exhibit Of products

False Ru1nor As
To Death At the b
Asylum Last Week

An old gentleman named James
Oyler, past three score and ten, who
was at the asylum, fell dead on the
seventeenth of February. He had
just returned from the MONDAY
meal and walked into his room when
the end came. His people took
charge of the corpse and burial was
made at Challis.
There was rumor last week that
the old gentleman had been slugged,
but this was investigated carefully
by DR.. Hoover as soon as he returned
from California, and everything in
dicated that the end came in a ma
tural way, for he had hardening of
the arteries and such an end was
to be expected. Mayor Peck pre-
pared the body for burial and he said
there was no evidence Of any viol-
ence and that the body was in good
condition.

Taber Country.
May Be Put Under
~. Irrigation Soon

People In the Taber country are
watching with much interest the de.
velopments of the storage project for
American Falls and the proposal to
exchange water to be taken from
Jackson Lake across via Rexburg and
Camas to be used in watering nearly
half q million acres on the Snake
river plains reaching from near
Dubois down the country great
distance.
There is great effort just now to
use all the waters of the upper levels
to irrigate the land on the upper
levels, and then make it do duty
again and again as it travels down
the valley, lodging in one storage
reservoir after another and taking,
perhaps, years to reach the sea, in
stead of as at present getting there
in from one month to one year. The
Dubois project. the Greater Fort Hall
project and the American Falls stor-
age reservoir are, three Of the things
in prospect now that may become
realities.

FAIR MATTERS
BEING DISCUSSED
Farm Bureau Meetings
Asked to Report for
Community

On Tuesday afternoon there was
a meeting at the commercial club
rooms to review matters relating to
the county fair. All three of the COM
missioners were present, and two
members each from the commercial
club, the Rotary club, the farm bu-
reau and the merchants association.
. Delayed bills have been coming in
all fall and winter for the fair, and
no complete report of the finances
fof the finances Of the fair had ever
been issued excepting that last fall
announcement was made that the
enterprise lacked about $1,000 OF
paying its way. Large sums had
.been paid out for improvements and
for payments on the purchase price
and long list of citizens had do
mated all their stock in the old cor
poration, but now the officers had
a complete statement of the cost OF
the fair and it was gone over care
fully. They considered what might
be done to cut down the expense and
to hold the revenues up for 1922
fair, and were favorably disposed
toward it, but all felt that they
wanted to know how other interests
in the county felt before max
ing definite decision. 1t was re-
ported that at a farm bureau meet
ing at Aberdeen, there was a unani-
nous vote of 125 people present, who
were in favor of the fair being put
on this year.
They decided to have the farm
bureau send out call to each COM
munity to take the matter up with
their people and send in report as
to their wishes. The following Is a

RADIO STATION IS
BEING ESTABLISHED
Boy Scouts Will Be Re-
ceiving Messages

The boy scouts OF Blackfoot and
POcatello have. established radio sta
ti0ns and are receiving messages. At
Pocatello they have the apparatus
in the top Of the Bannock hotel and
at Blackfoot It Is in the top of
the court house. The aerial, or
antenae, is on the tower Of the court
house and the office equipment is in
what is generally called the jury
room. It is at the right at the head
of the stairs an one enters from the
entrance.
Leroy Jones is the operator and
others are learning. They are re-
ceiving considerable assistance from
David Elliott, the telegraph operator
at the Western Union, who had a
little experience down on the border.
The boys had to buy about
worth Of instruments, and the Ro-
tary club. gave them $50 and others
are making up the rest. Of 1t. This
is the first time the boy scouts have
needed anything and they are meet
ing generous response. They have
been doing anything and everything
for the public heretofore, and people
have been waiting for a chance to
repay some Of these favors.
The boys cannot operate when
court is in session, and when they
get things to working well, they will
be glad to have people call and wit
ness their work The instruments
will pick up vibrations from instru-
ments about 1000 miles away, which
will give them word from the big
station at Arlington, Va, and from
ships sailing the seas on the west.

Passage of House Bill
Is Being Asked For
By the Railroad Men

Members of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen inform us that
they are asking for the passage Of
H. R. bill number 10000 providing
for the appointment Of another COM
mission to be injected into railroad
work to participate in the manage
ment by the inspection Of tracks. and
bridges.
The measure provides that a chief
of inspection shall be appointed and
two assistants, whose offices shall
be in Washington, D. c., whose sal
aries shall be $4,000 and $4,000 a
year respectively, and that there
shall be inspectors appointed who
shall receive salaries of $4,000 each.
The duty of the inspectors will be
to inspect tracks and bridges and
to make reports of their condition
when they are needing repairs; such
reports to be forwarded to the Of
ficials of the road, and the officials
will be required to make such re-
pairs promptly, tho they will have
the right Of appeal to the Interstate
commerce commission when they
think the repairs are not needed.
The bill provides for all the ma
chinery Of administration of the de-
partment, the making of rules, the
manner in which reports and COM
plants shall be made, the rules for
hearings on appeals, the penalties,
etc.
The members of the brotherhood
bringing it to our attention express
the belief that the railroad COM
panies Of the United States are not
keeping up their road beds and
bridges as they ought to do to in
sure the safety of the traffic, and
that the government should provide
means of making them do It and
the, government appropriate enough
money to pay for the inspection and
the other things necessary to get ac-
tion by the roads. The bill now
pending action Of congress autho-
rizes an appropriation not to exceed
100000.

INDIAN ROMANCE
ENDS in TRAGEDY
Young Wife and Mother
is Lost To Her
" People a :

There is an old saying, Murder
will out" but Indian police and In
dian agents on the Fort Hall reserya-
tion in Idaho are closing the books
on romance and tragedy of ten
years ago, assuming that here is one
tragedy they are not likely to learn
any more about, for the lips of those
that know are either sealed, in death
or sealed in life.
Some fifteen years ago Huber Te-
toby courted and won a fair maiden
on the ShOshOne and Bannock reser-
vation, and lived on a tract Of land
near Ross Fork creek just above the
Fort Hall agency. On the place was
an old house and in this they lived
most of the time until with the
change Of seasons and events it ap-
peared that they were to have an
heir, and then one day Miss Frost,
devoted missionary laboring un-
selfishly among the tribes, went to
the house and found 1t empty. The
weather was cold and she wondered
where they had gone, but on looking
around she found a tent out near
the creek and there was Tetoby and
his bride playing the waiting game
with the siege Of winter.
Miss Frost expressed surprise and
reproached Tetoby for keeping his
wife in such quarters under those
circumstances, and told him he must
move her at once. He responded so
promptly that she left 1t to him en-
tirely and returned to the mission,
but the next day when she went to
the house to see how the expectant
mother was getting along she found
the house cold and empty and the
