FORMER WRITER HEARD FROM

Harry Martin, who held desk
as advertising manager for the Idaho
Republican in the spring and sum-
mer of 1918, writes from Dinuba,
Calf, and says to tell the folks he
used to write ads for that he is a
little balder, but younger than ever.
He says he looks back to the days
when Taylor street was turned into
Broadway, and it was celebrated
with a picnic and street dance, and
remembers it as bright spot of the
war period.
Mr.. Martin said he had an unusual
experience in August, 1921 when the
steamer Alaska was wrecked on
Blount's reef, on the California
coast, he went out with the rescue
crew and was in wet clothes for
sixty hours. He was not accustomed
to such exposure and took on case
of pneumonia followed by rheuma-
tism that lasted a long time. He
went to the Imperial valley to re-
cuperate and has only late ventured
back into the colder climate. He
says they buy Idaho potatoes for
s1.60 a sack, and he reasoned from
that that Blackfoot folks are not
getting rich on potatoes.

THE DOG DERBY

lots to determine what order they
should start in, there being ten
teams with a total of fOrty-nine
dogs. w. c. Trude was the first
and he had we'll bred animals, four
red and one black, and while wait
ing for the signal to start, one O.
them stood up in front of Trude and
put his arms around his master wit
indications of the most tender atfec
tons They gazed into each other
eyes and the dog could not resist tbs
desire to KISS his master, and
touched his great wet tongue to
Trudes cheek in parting touch as
if to say, 81 just couldn't help it. V
A Dogs Love
Various others made similar
demonstrations, and "Lyd" Hutchin-
sons lead dog Major, stood up and
looked her full in the face ana
patted her about the waistline as il
to assure her of his great love and
determination to do his best in the
contest While this was being en-
acted, black dog, Doc, who had
been leader until a few days ago
stood in his new place and barked
vigorously. He had lead the team
until within a few days of the races
when Major was taken from what
would be called the "Off wheeler
position Of an OK or mule team, and
Doc and Major exchanged places.
Doc was disappointed and protested.
He became furious and wanted to
fight Major, but Lyd wouldn't allow
it, When the drill was over, he
watched his chance and grabbed
Major, but Lyd made him stop. Then
they were chained up in the dog
stable and during the night, Doc
succeeded in breaking his chain and
bounced upon Major, who was at a
on his short chain.
People in the house heard the uproar
and hurried out and stopped the
duel, so Doc never got more than
partial satisfaction and Major
seemed glad for protection. Both
dogs did their best in the race, but
could not deliver the money to their
mistress.
One of the drivers had team OF
hybrid (scrub) dogs and they acted
submissive and cowed in the pres
snce of the crowds. One team came
On the trail with bloody spots on
hem, and local people explained to
hose about them, that the driver
lad won the Ill will of the team
lew days before, and they turned
lpon him with all the fury Of en-
aged people and he had to fight for
lis life. He dubbed them into sub
mission and here they were, con-
luered and ready to run. Olcott |
