CLoUDBURsT AT SALT LAKE

A terrific downpour of rain in
northern Utah Monday night caused
destructive floods that brought death
and destruction to many homes, the
worst of it being in the Pennington
district north. of Salt Lake. The
water rushed from the canyons in
the night, striking like a tidal wave
and carrying everything before It..
Dry gulches took on the proportions
of rivers and spread out over fields,
destroying crops and buildings and
leaving mud, rocks and other debris,
and the task of hunting out the
bodies of people and animals has
been terrible. Just south of Farm
ington there is belt two miles wide,
strewn with rocks, trees and other
debris. At one place seventy-five
telephone poles were counted in the
wreckage, and mud lay thirty feet at
one point. At Willard a wall of
water thirty feet high struck an auto
mobile loaded with peopel and they
vanished in the roaring torrent. An
auto has since been dug out of sew
eral feet of mud, and is thought to
be the same one. Some of the
bodies recovered were badly mangled,
one being decapitated and the legs
of one person were found in the
debris that came down from Willard
canyon. Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. Wright
and three boys had gone into the
canyon the day before and are
thought to be dead.
The floods rushed across country
into Great Salt Lake, and watchers
are looking for bodies floating in the
lake. At Salt Lake City the water
was several feet deep on some of the
streets and left mass of mud when
it subsidized.
The list of known dead in the
northern Utah flood follows:
Arnold Christensen, Lagoon; Mrs.
w. ]. Wright, Ogden; MILFORD Isaac,
Langton, Salt Lake; Ted Rudy, Salt
Lake; Vernon Rudy, Salt Lake;
George Jackson, 1t; w. ]. Wright,
Ogden; Mrs. Agnes M. Ward, Will
lard; Mrs. Mary Ellen c.. Ward, Will
lard, have been drowned.

POTATO EXCHANGE ORGANIZING

Good meetings have been held at
various places in this county and or
CARNATIONS have been made locally
to secure five-year contracts with
growers in each community. In the
Goshen country, where som any po-
tatoes are raised, 1t is said that about
80 per cent of the acreage is already
signed for the crops of 1924 to 1929
inclusive. The average acreage
signed thruout the country SO far as
the territory has been covered is said
to be about rs per cent. Good meet
ings have been held at Riverside,
Thomas, Groveland and Rose re-
Gently, and arrangements are under
way for meetings at other places.

with the work in this county had to
leave Thursday for Burley, and w. 8.

WOMAN sCALPED

Mrs. John H. Yearsley of Menan,
Idaho, while operating the milk
separator at her home last Sunday,
caught her hair in the gear and her
scalp was torn of from the base of
the brain over to the eyebrows, in
Guiding the eyebrows on one side.
AS soon as the machine was stop
ped she recovered the scalp and be-
gan trying to get it into shape to put
on again, but it was somewhat
crushed or mangled and soiled and
she tried to clean the sOiled spots.
A physician was called by phone
from Rigby and he arrived in about
twenty minutes after the accident.
Mrs. Yearsley walked out to the car
and got in, and on arriving at Rigby
she walked from the car to the
hospital.
Her brother-in-law, DR.. C. A.
Hoover and DR.. F. w. Mitchell OF
Blackfoot were called and in COM
pany with Mrs. Hoover, went to
Rigby in aid in caring for her. The
scalp was replaced, but not until
more than an hour had passed, and 1t
had cooled and dried too much to
knit excepting in few spots.
On Thursday the patient was said
to have passed the crisis and was
recovering, with the prospect of the
whole surface of the head healing
over somewhat as a scar does, ex-
cepting along the top of the head
where the scalp lies on the bony sub
stance with only the periosteum
(bone sack) between them, and they
will undertake to graft skin on that
portion as soon as conditions are
right for that undertaking.
Mrs. Yearsley was once a resident
Of Blackfoot and is sister Of Mrs.
G. A. Hoover.

Dubois Addresses Rotarians

At the meeting Of the Rotary club
Tuesday evening former Senator
Dubois and others spoke, the prin.
cipal address Of the evening being
by Mr.. Dubois regarding the Sho-
shone and Bannock Indian reserva-
ton and its relation to this COM
munity.
The guests OF the occasion besides
Mr.. Dubois were A. j. Snyder of
Sprin gfield, r. X. Dibble of Twin
Falls and Byrd Trego of Blackfoot.
President w. H. Stuffebeam left the
meeting early on account of the ILL
ness of his wife, and E. T. Peck pre-
sided. He called on George Gagon
for q report on the Arco road and In
his response he said the Butte
county people had done their part
and that 1t Is up to this county and
perhaps up to our Commercial club
to help to put our end in good con-
diiton. The engineers are selecting
new line for few miles and II we
act promptly while it is under desig
nation by the secretary of the inter-
iOr as government road we can
probably get federal aid in further
improving it.
A. ]. Snyder was asked to speak
on the subject of Grimm alfalfa and
the feasibility of legislating the price
of wheat to save the farmer. Mr..
Snyder said he was not prepared to
express an opinion as to fixing the
price of wheat by legislation, but
that he felt the need of closer or
ganization among the farmers to|
regulate production and prices so,
that we shall not have these violent
Regarding the raising
of Grimm alfalfa seed he said it has
proven to be very difficult industry.
He said his neighbors had thought
they had solved the prob
lem of getting good yields, and then
had all their theories swept away by
or partial failures under
what seemed to be the most favor
able conditions. Even this year he
has the best of seed where he has
not irrigated at all, and on other
parts of the farm has the poorest of
seed growth where he watered just
as he wished. All theories seem to
tail at times, and when people look

SOUTHEASTERN IDAHO ROUND
UP OF BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS

Instead of holding = fam at Black
foot this year, . committee Of thre'
men, who have been active In putting
ON the fairs, will stage . roundup
September rs and 81, and ar
rangements have already been made
for Incorporating q roundup of thu
young people of the country ant
their products.
District Club Leader Murray, Of
the boys and girls clubs. In con
nection with. leaders of the eleven
southeastern counties, is at the head
of an organization to select and as
semble several hundred boys and
girls for an encampment ON the
grounds and for exhibiting their own
products of the farm, including
potatoes, sugar beets and wheat
both in the sheaf and thrashed /;
hogs, sheep and dairy products, can
ming, cooking and sewing products,
and for the first time In the history
Of the southeast, the young folks
will put on the industrial exhibit.
Concessions will be let for furnishing
meals on the grounds, with special
privileges for the members of the
boys and girls clubs. The organize
ton plans to have sleeping accom-
mediation in the exhibits buildings,
but that part OF the arrangements
may be changed, owing to the fact
that citizens of Blackfoot are asking
for the privilege of taking them into
their homes for this occasion. The
young people will journey to Black
foot In cars from everywhere in the
southeast, and 1t will be an innova-
ton that will be watched by the
whole public with keener interest be-
cause it will be the first independent
by new generation in the new agri-
culture fostered by the joint efforts
of the county, state and federal gov
ernments lead and directed by the
thoughtful people possessed Of new
vision of how and why the rising
generation will constitute the back
to the farm movement"
Premiums will be given for the
in these exhibits, and in
order that the young people shall
have every opportunity to study the
whole livestock industry and how to
improve it, special exhibits of dairy
stock will be made and experts will
teach them the fundamentals of the
industry.
One or more announcements will
be made later to give the further
of the plan for the
exhibits and for accommodating the
young people assembled at Black
loot. The general committee in /

over their rich returns on favorable

feasible for them to get some land
near by and do likewise, he knows
that they are facing q lot Of uncer.
/ tainties. One of the great problems
of country life now Is to make 1t at
tractive and comfortable so the
younger generation will remain on
the farm. AS they drift away to the
cities and towns, who will take their
places? His daughter and son-in-
law have graduated from the Uni
versity of California and cannot Sc
cure as good wages as brick layer
with little or no education, and a
trade that can be learned with COM
paratively little expense or capital.
One novel thing about the farm as
revealed by recent discoveries Is that
the air is full of music and speeches
and messages, and has been all the
time, only they are just learning how
to capture it. This can be done on
the farm with the radio outfit better
than in town where there are more
conflicting currents, but that Is only
one feature of farm life and there
are many problems yet to be solved.
Every industry has its variable
periods, and this period of depression
on the farm is breaking the patience
and fortitude of large numbers of
them.
Mr.. Trego spoke briefly on the
condition of the road thru the
Wolverine canyon and over the sum-
NIT, and the road over the Lincoln
creek summit. He said these roads
are good only for high powered cars,
but that by trimming and reducing
the grades on four short slopes,
where mistakes had been made in
both roads could be
to good roads for all cars
including Fords, and that would
greatly increase the service the. roads
could render to the public. He con-
sidered the hill country to the east

ally supposed, and that in future
years 1t will become greatly in

ting my place in good shape, and
I'm satisfied" he says.
A South Dakota farmer sold
three good-grade steers on the
Omaha market for $3.50 apiece
more per head than scrubs raised
with them.

of some common cows and pure
breds with the result that showed
a production at the end OF the
year double that of the common
stock.

was troubled with severe pains in

medicines but with little relief and
then started tkaing your Plant
