ORGANIZING POTATO EXCHANGE

On Tuesday evening at the Com
mercial club rooms Mr.. Bassett,
formerly of the department of agri-
culture, explained the Sapiro plan
for organizing state potato ex-
changes, and on Wednesday evening
there was a meeting of farmers and
business men to review the situation
with view Of having them counsel
together on the undertaking In this
county. They went over the matter
at considerable length, and decided
to work together in getting If posi-
Bile 80 per cent of the potato grow
ers of the county to sign contracts
placing the sale of their potatoes for
the next five years in the hands of
the association.
A question came up as TO whether
they would work with the potato
dealers here and the wholesalers in
the markets or try to operate indie
pendent of them, and declaration
was made that all honorable estab-
lishments handlin 6 potatoes were
needed to make the plan success,
and that their patronage would be
sought. Robert Grenand, who
represents the Dunbar-Hansen c0s0-
pany said that they would rather buy
their potatoes of the association al
ready graded and ready to ship than
to buy of the growers. He explained
that in the one case they had to keep
up larger organization, and on the
proposed plan they could operate at
less expense and pay the association
more than on the other plan. H. L.
Kennedy of the Idaho Grimm Grow
ers company advocated that plan, in
view of their own experience, and
said that it was necessary to use the
established means of distribution,
the principal advantage in the new
method being to market the product
In an orderly manner as needed and
not glut the markets.
Meetings will be held thru the
country and delegations from town
and country will work together.

CANAL BREAK REPAIRED

The break in the Aberdeen-Spring-
field canal that occurred last week
was repaired in time to turn the
water In the canal on Sunday morn
ing The train service was inter
rupted about six days due to the
washout on the Aberdeen branch.
When the roadbed was repaired and
thought to be safe for the train, an
attempt was made to cross, pushing
some fiat cars ahead of the engine,
and after passing over the repaired
section on to what seemed safe, the
engine suddenly toppled over into
deep water where it had carried the
cars over in safety. 1t seems there
was a cavern of the embankment
that was concealed by the accumu-
lated flood, and the weight of the
engine broke it down suddenly. En-
gineer Ouse and the fireman jumped
and saved themselves, while the en-
CINE half buried itself in mud and
water. 1t is still lying on it's side
awaiting the disappearance of the
water to give the wreckers a chance
to raise it.
D. H. Blossom, the company en-
gineer and his water master and
ditch riders organized three shifts of
workers and hauled in materials
with fresno scrapers, moving it all
across the canal They were all
pretty we'll worn out when the job
was done, and then had to work day
and night to catch up with their ir-
rigatiOn.
Engineer Blossom expresses ap-
probation of the faithful work of all
the help, and of the kindly offer of
the Blackfoot Commercial club to
levy on its membership for men to go
out and operate fresnos If they were
wanted in the emergency.

FAMOUS UNDERWOOD PICTURES
TO BE SHOWN AT PRESBYTERIAN

The Rev. w. S. Snoddy will give
a lecture tomorrow night at the Pres
byterian church on the subject:
"Moses and Old King Tut's Land"
The lecture will be illustrated by
~steriopticon pictures from the famous
Underwood collection. Egypt and the
peninsula of Sinai is a land of great
historic interest, and the events that
took place there thousands of years
ago have a very vital significance for
the civilization and religion of today.
The old brick ~storehouses at Pithom,
excavated by the psychologists spade
will be exhibited, illustrating the
work of Hebrew toilers under the lash
of the Egyptian task-master's whip.
Temples, supposedly built by King
Tut of recent fame, in which Moses
had %worshiped, will be used to ex-
hibit the grandeur and glory of that
wonderful civilization of ancient
times. The temple gate of Karnak,
the palms of Elm and the rugged
mountain scenes of Houb and Nebo,
the modern monastery Of st. Gather
ines, the canyon trail to Petra, and
many other scenes of special interest
to the traveller and the Bible student
will make the lecture n of special
interest and profit. The marvellous
personality of Moses and the long,
hard journey of Israel's wandering
constitute an important part of the
background of present day christian
faith.
