High School Pupils
Showing Much In
terest in Activities

A great many people in the COM
munity feel that the only school
activities outside of the regular class
room work are the class functions
and athletics. However, this Is not
true, inasmuch as there are four
classes, each having their own func-
tions and the fact that athletics Is
continually in the foreground leads
many people to this surmise.
Declamatory, debate, band and
orchestra work take considerably
more time to prepare for their final
appearance. during the past three
months a number Of students have
spent many long and weary hours
preparing to represent the Blackfoot
high school on the platform as well
as on the athletic field.
In declamatory, eleven students
have worked earnestly and faith
fully in improving their defamation
and will appear on the platform to-
night striving for the honor of win.

MUST PAY
SHARE OF PROJECT
Will Not Construct Un-
less Companies Share
Obligation

The headquarters Of the Idaho
Reclamation association makes the
statement that there seems to be
some people in the Snake river valley
who believe the American Falls pro-
ject will be built by the government
whether water users participate In
the cost or not.
( BY way of dispelling any further
doubts on this subject, the associa-
tion gives out a letter from A. P.
Davis, director general Of the recla-
nation service, Washington, D. c.,
who is also speaking for Secretary
Fall in which again the official state
ment is made that the American
Falls project will not be constructed
unless the contracting companies
and districts meet their obligations.
The letter follows:
Washington, D. e., March 6, 1922
Mr.. Guy Flenner, Managing Director
Idaho Reclamation Association,
Pocatello.
My Dear Mr.. Flenner:
Your letter of February % to
Hon. Albert B. Fall, secretary of the
interior, enclosing brief which you
have issued concerning the American
Falls project, has been received and
referred to this office.
note that you sometimes en-
counted belief that the government
will go ahead with this project
whether the companies meet their
obligations or not.
On this subject l am glad to see
that the brief you have enclosed
states the position correctly so that
"There is no room for doubt that
the government will abandon the
American Falls project unless the
companies and districts contracting
Cor storage water in the reservoir
make their payments"
l see this idea reiterated in other
parts of the document and / wish to
conform the correctness of same.
This condition is necessitated by the
inexorable situation, financial and
otherwise, and should be thoroly
understood. -
Yours truly,
(Signed) A. p. DAVIS,
Director.

RUSSIANS APPEAL
TO RELATIVE HERE
Ground Thistle Seeds
and Saw Dust Used
for Food

Albert Appel Of Blackfoot has just
received letter from his uncle at
Cronendahl, in southern Russia,
dated in January, in which he says
that the prospect for anyone to live
thru to spring or to another harvest
was very slim.
There were then in the village
about 5000 people, and food was
very scarce and many were starving.
He appealed to his nephew to get
food to them in some way IL possible.
and Albert is taking the matter up
with the Russians here, who came
from that locality, and says that II
any others are willing to Contribute
he will be glad to transmit 1t to them
thru the National Lutheran Consul
at New York City. u
The following named people of
this county are from the locality
named: M. Ganske, D. Mauch, G. D.
Mauch, Albert Appel, Jacob Martins
and Carl Martins.
One letter written by Christian
Kenig tells of the death Of her
mother, and another letter written
by August Sandeau to his brother
here tells Of the death Of his two sons
and his mother, and says they have
been out of all ordinary food for
long time and have ground the corn
cobs into flour and soaked the stuff
and made bread of it. They have
gathered all the Russian thistles
they could, failed out the seeds and
pulverized them and mixed them
with sawdust and made the mixture
into bread. Sometimes people die
after eating the stuff, but in gen.
eral way it is betteter way Of starv-
ing than not to eat at all.
Mr.. Sandeau says they often hear
that America is assembling food sup
plies to ship to Russia, and that
America is their only hope. America
has done so much for sugering hu.
manity that they hope and starve and
watch for possible help from
America.

CITY COUNCIL
MAKING PLANS
FOR CLEAN CITY
City Ordinances May
Be Codi6ed; Will
Aid in Finding
Information
I'M PROVE PARK
Will Not Employ a
Police Matron
For City

The city council are preparing for
spring and summer. They have
placed the garbage ordinance on its
third reading and it calls for keeping
property cleaned up and garbage
placed in cans or to keep burying 1t
as 1t comes into existence. II people
let 1t accumulate they must provide
can for it, and they must pay for
having the can empt!ed and contents
hauled away as often as the garbage
wagon makes the rounds. People
who want the best Of service and no
expense for taking care OF garbage
can get 1t by keeping shovel at
convenient place and bury the gar
bage as often as they take 1t out of
the kitchen. 1t requires only
minutes work to cover 1t in little
trench and the soil Immediately alb
serbs 1t. When handled in this way
1t enriches the soil, and when kept
in a can the can soon becomes sour
or rancid and sheds shocking odor
when it is opened. A good way to do
is to keep bucket in the house to
receive the waste, and each time
after it Is emptied, place sheet or
two Of paper in it to keep souring
materials from making the bucket
foul. When the bucket is emptied
the paper goes out with the waste
and leaves the bottom and sides of
the bucket clean. If waste meats are
buried they will probably attract the
dogs and they will dig it out and
leave the rest of the waste exposed to
the flies. II you wish to prevent this
1t can be done by pouring spoonful
of coal oil on it while yet in the
bucket. 1t is not much trouble to
keep a bottle of coal oil near the
bucket and give it splash of oil be-
fore carrying it out. Some people
prefer burning all waste meat and
bones, but those who cook by
electricity cannot do this.
The new ordinance leave you to
choose between the two plans, bury
ing or hauling it away on the plan

INDIANS HOLD POWOW AROUND COUNCIL
FIRES ON THE FORT HALL BOTTOMS
Committee Appointed to Interview the Editor
of The Republican to Ask Assistance
of the Whites

to drive away the shadow of a great
trouble that spreads itself among our
people and makes them keep asking
Of each other when and how It Is 60
ing to be made to 60 away like the
rain cloud when it Is black. The
camp fire burns as cheerily as ever
and the children's voices are a COM
fort to US when they play and are
happy, but our old men are carrying
sorrow and our young men are
troubled, and the maidens wait In
silence for the day when they can
talk and joke without having 1t fall
on listeners that are silent.
In the long ago when our fathers
dwelt along the streams and had no
guns, no tools, no grain and there
was no bad firewater nor peota to
make men lose their smiles and glad
hearts, in the days when Old Ocean
told us the wondrous story Of how
the great white chiefs made the long
trip to the Observation-Disclosures
washing the land of the setting sun,
there was plenty Of big game and
buffalo robes, and deer hides were
easy to get and everybody had horses
to ride and horses to look at.
AS white men came the buffalo
and the deer went away and never
came back, and then came the big
herds Of cattle, but they belonged to
the white man and when our hunt
ers killed the new kind of buffalo
the soldiers came out and took our
hunters and told us to stay on the
reservation and leave cattle alone.
When we had no food we went to the
Indian agent and he gave us rations,
but it was not enough and we did not
live we'll. When we were told to
farm like the white man, we found
it was different from our ways had
been and when the wind blew and
fishing was good, our hearts were
light for fishing and heavy for farm
work, and we did not get enough fish
nor enough crops.
Then some of our Indians went to
raising their own cattle, and those
that did it like the white man got big
herds and had plenty Of fat steers all
the time, but the others made mis-
takes and killed young heifers to
eat and the numbers were small. All

There Is trouble and worry among
the Red Men on the reservation and
there have been many earnest
powows around the council fires dur
ing the winter that has seen SO much
Of snow and cold. At social affair
held on Ft. Hall bottoms on March 5
at which about 230 braves were as
sembled, they talked more to the
point than they had at any time be-
fore, and mapped out plans for ap-
plying the remedy for their troubles.
They appointed q committee Of three
Of the older wise men and an inter-
prefer to 60. to The Republican Of
fee and tell the story of their
troubles and ask the editor to tell 1t
thru the paper so all the white peo-
pie could read 1t and know the
thoughts and wishes of the Indians
and that would end much of the
trouble.
The committee selected was
Curley McKeen, Billy George and
Albert California. II with William
George for interpreter. Billy George
az spokesman, told their story, with
many pauses to hear questions or to
discuss doubtful points or shadings
OF their position, among themselves.
They were speaking for 102 Indians
whose names appeared in a list
which they carried, and they were
speaking for about 1870 others who
sat in the council and seemed to
agree to the general decision, but
did not get their names recorded.
The following is our understand
ing and our Interpretation of the
message they wish to pass from the
children of the forest to their pale
brothers. And appended hereto are
the names of those who sent the in
structed committee and gave their
names to their scholar who sat In
council with pencil and tablet:
Message Of the Red Man
For the past three moons our peo-
pie have sat in darkness and felt
heavy hearted. The fine trout and
fat ducks brought in by our fisher
men hunters have been very good
and the wheat and potatoes and
other crops that we put away for use
while the snow was deep and the
sun was long way off, have been
very fine, but have not been enough

AMERICAN FARM
BUREAU SECRETARY
GIVES ADDRESS
1900 Counties are Help
ing Support the
American Farm
Bureau
MONEY FOR SEED
All Farmers are Urged
to Join and Give
Assistance

A four-minute speech by Secretary
]. w. Coverdale Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation:
The object Of the farm bureau is
to create countrywide agricultural
organization to advance and improve
the agriculture of the country; to CO.
operate with the State College OF
Agriculture and the U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture in the employ
ment Of county agents; to develop q
definite program Of work that will
bring to the county better eco
nomic, social and educational con-
dition so as to make farming more
profitable and country life more at
tractive.
The farm bureau represents every
community of the county by provid-
ing for a director from each town
ship on it's board of directors, and
for local group in every commun-
ity-if one does not already exist
thru which it can work.
The farm bureau represents all
agricultural interests in that its Of
ficers include individuals engaged in
all of the general and specialized
lines of farming.
Urges Cooperation
The farm bureau does not aim to
replace any other organization as 1t
includes among it's membership
representatives Of all farmers Or
ganizations. The farm bureau en-
courages community organization
and cooperation.
The farm bureau is not political
organization, believing that more
can be accomplished in safeguarding
and promoting agricultural interests
most vital to the welfare of the en-
tire county, state and nation by the
united action of all concerned on
measures of common interest, re-
gardless of factional or political diff,
ferences.

and Sentenced

Rudolph Seitinger fell among
poisons Saturday night and multi
piled his troubles in trying to get
relief. Rudolph was walking up one
Of the paved alleys when he was &C
costed by somebody who asked him
II he wouldn't take drink with him.
Rudolph knows whisky from near
beer and he took a drink of 1t and
decided 1t was bad whisky. The
fellow then asked him If he did not
want to buy some and he replied that
he did not like the quality and did
not care to invest.
The stuff soon went to his head
and Rudolph began to make scene
and officer Dayly took him into
custody and locked him in the city
jail. Rudolph was crazy, but not toe
crazy to know that he wanted a
doctor and wanted him as quick as
possible, but he was inside of some
thing and could not get out by the
door, so he smashed a window with
his fist and the glass cut his arm
and he began to bleed rapidly, and
when found was in weakened con.
dition from an ugly wound as well
as suffering from the poison In the
liquor. He was taken to the Jack
son hospital for treatment.
