STOCK MARKET IS DULL AND NARROW;
 NJ MEETING TODAY
Most Of Traders Leave New York For Week End In
 Country
By WALTER B. BROWN, Editor New York CommercjmI By Leased Wire to the Associated


 NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Today's stock market was dull and narrow to point where it was difficult LA recognize it as a market. /AttsnQ- Knee was very light as practically everyone who could went out of town for the end of the week. there being no session tomorrow and only two hours on Saturday. The best de- scrlption Of the market is that 1t was irregular, but even that meant little. It did not imply that the general market moved first in one direction and then in another, but simply that one stock moved slightly upward at the same time that an other was moving slightly downward and none of them moved very far. The stocks in which there were more than fractional net changes for the day were the normally inactive ones in which there was perhaps single transaction, which in comparison with a similar transaction of yester- day might represent the difference of a point or point and half. The most active item on the list was Gen. eral Motors, of which the sales amounted to only 26,300 shares, at a net advance of 3-S. Next in line was American Locomotive with sales of 21,300 shares at net gam or N' United States Steel came next with l",bUU SndTeS dL utt gam VA .fs' The turnover in Standard oil for example was only 2,300 shares with a net gain of 5-s. Sales of Atchi- son was 800, at an advance or 5-S. Of New York Central, 500 shares at the previous days price, and of New Haven, 300 shares at an advance or IA, all of which indicated pretty dull day. There is no desire to trade, and New York tomorrow will be closed tighter than a Sunday.
 The only item of interest forth coming during the day was the monthly report by the United States Steel Corporation of the unified ton mage orders remaining on Its books as of August l, amounting to o,slo,- 76s tons, which is the smallest dur ing the last twelve months, the to- tai on August 1 a year ago being b.776161 tons The reduction during July was approximately 4f5,6oo tons ns as compared with 8 loss of b00,0OV tons In June. The peak of unflled orders was reported oR March l et 7,403,SS2 tons, so that the decline since then has amounted to 20 per cent. There may be still further decline next month, after which &C., +fvities should be resumed.

HISTORIAN VISITED BLACKFOOT

John E. Rees, author of a good
many articles on Idaho history, has
just been making a tour of num-
Der of Idaho's historical localities,
and giving addresses to gatherings
of students at the University, the
Lewiston Normal, to citizens at
Boise, Pocatello and other places,
and has met with such hearty re-
Spouse that he has decided to give
his lectures in the towns of the upper
Snake river valley soon.
Mr.. Rees has been resident of
Salmon City for a long time, and a
resident of Lemhi county since 1877,
and has been close student of In
dams and western history. He gives
a lecture on the trip of Lewis and
Clark, using eighty-two pictures on
the screen and telling of events con-
nected with the pictures. Some of
these have so much local interest
that the audience sits spellbound
and many people come forward for
more when the address is finished.
Pocatello is preparing to put on
a big pioneer day celebration this
month and Mr.. Rees addressed their
organization there the last of the
week and fired them with enthusiasm
over the lots Of valuable material
possessed by the FIT. Hall country.

SENATOR GOODING SELLS SHEEP

Senator Frank r. Gooding has dis
posed Of his entire sheep intereste to
Fitzpatrick Brothers of Picabo. The
senator has been in HALEY the
greater part of the week and here he
met w. H. Fitzpatrick, Jr., for the
negotiation of this important deal.
Details of the transaction are with
held, but it is asserted that 5000
head of sheep and perhaps the finest
range in Idaho are involved.
Speaking of the matter recently
Senator Gooding said:
II have been engaged in the sheep
industry in the state for 35 years. l
was one Of the first to drive sheep
into this section, and I shipped the
first carload of lambs that ever went
to market from Wood river valley. |
find that while in Washington l am
too far away to give the business my
attention, and this is my only reason
for selling. l consider the future
outlook for the industry especially
good because there are not half as
many sheep in the country as there
were at one time and there is great
shortage of WOOL
Senator Gooding has always been
an important factor in this industry.
For years he was president of the
Idaho Wool Growers association and
has always been ready to fight for
the sheepmen at the drop OF the
hat.-Hailey Times-NewsMiner.

SOME CAR ACCIDENTS

A car from Pocatello is said to
have been burned up on the road
between Pocatello and Blackfoot on
the Fourth, due to the family shoot
ing off fire-crackers on the way. The
family all got out, and they saved an
extra tire or two.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. T. Powell of Salt
Lake were coming to Blackfoot to
surprise their sister, Mrs. r. O..
Decker with Fourth of July call,
and met car at the approach to the
the bridge a couple of miles south
of Fort Hall. Some loose gravel
had been applied on the road and
that kept the cars from turning out
as expected, and they collided, shat
tering windshield on Mrs. Powell's
head and arms.
Report has it that DR.. Cutler of
Shelley had a collision in front of
the Three-A Garage in BlackfOot,
but we did not learn the details.
Several cars received "bruises" on
the tenders during the day.

VISITED WITH THE PRESIDENT

J. A. Stewart, o. Buchanan,
Lewis Robbins and L. G. Collins had
the good fortune to be taken out to
New Sweden with the Presidential
party last Thursday from Idaho Falls,
and had three-quarters of an hour
with the President and Mrs. Hard
ing, Secretary Work and others
studying irrigation in the potato
field.
The President declined the invi-
tation to use the shovel for show
while the camera men snapped him,
but asked that a real irrigator turn
the water at the headgate and in the
rows so they could see it done prop
erly and gain some information re-
garding the mysterious water con-
troll. Mrs. Harding was profuse in
expressions of satisfaction at being
shown the art where the sun, soil
and water combine in plants. The
canvas dam was to her, as much as
doll is to a girl at the doll age,
and she trudged around watching 1t
like one who had been hungry for
the demonstration. They asked such
sensible questions about farming and
irrigating, the costs of operating and
all, that it won the hearts of the
party.

MORELAND EXPRESSES THANKS

The people of Moreland wish to
express their appreciation to the
Blackfoot Commercial club and its
special committee for its activity in
securing the stop of the Dairy Special
at that place on the Fourth of July
after the schedule had been made up
without including Moreland. They
wish also to thank the management
of the OREGON Short Line, and espec-
tally their local agent R. w. Kelly,
for their kind consideration and for
recasting their schedule and changing
it for two other communities where it
required re-advertising when More
land was included. The people of
Moreland and adjacent territory
turned out in 9oodly numbers to
meet the special, and wish thru this
medium to express their appreciation
to the dairymen and speakers and all
who were instrumental in bringing
to them the fine demonstration which
this train afforded, for teaching them
and their young folks the lessons
brought by the visiting men and
animals.

AROUND THE COURT HOUSE

The county commissioners are in
session as a board of equalization.
They have meditated on the joys of
running the government without
funds and have decided not to put
on a fair this year.
Miss Hannah Evans and Mr.. Elmer
Tarr were married by Judge Good
on Monday.
The sheriff's office reports nearly
everybody on good behavior during
the celebration, and no arrests nee
essary. They put on an extra man
for the day and the multitudes were
so well behaved they did not need
the one extra man on the force.
The treasurer's office employed
one extra clerk for six weeks to help
receive the second installment of
taxes in May and in the correspond
and her two clerks, the Misses
Puma Pelkey and Chapman, hand
led it all and got thru earlier. The
total collected was about thirteen
thousand dollars less this year than
last Mrs. Ward, the treasurer, says
they have the books in better shape
than ever before and their system
is fixed and the clerks know the work
and 1t goes off smoothly and rapidly.
When the Utah-Idaho Sugar COM
pany were notified that the money
was ready for them for their 100000
of stock in the fair, and they were
given the option of taking the money
or donating it to the county fair
fund they appointed George Smith
to decide the matter and he ordered
it turned into the fair fund. The
board hopes to clean up the debts
this year and get clean start.

Blackfoot Celebrated Under
Auspices of American Legion

Blackfoot's celebration was one OF
the fine events of the season, and
the good weather and good cooper
alton Of all made it a day of fun.
The morning salutes were followed
by the stock show and lectures at
the dairy train, and this by the
parade which was one of the best
that has ever been put on. The
Legion men and the Boy Scouts gave
it a pleasing touch, and the floats
lodges made a good show. The In
dams were at their best, and made
a very attractive section. The man
agement of the celebration and the
community at large are indebted to
the Indians for the fine display they
made.
Prizes were awarded for the best
floats as follows: The grand prize
went to the Elks lodge, and in the
competition among merchants, Neil
F. Boyle's won first, the Blackfoot
Mercantile Company's second and, D.
W. Standrod and companys third.
In the fraternal line, the Modern
Woodmen won first, the Woodmen of
the World second and the Royal
Neighbors third.
The patriotic address was dis
appointment. He probably did the
best he could, but that was not
enough. He should not have en-
gagged to fill that responsible place
unless he had experience enough to
enable him to handle it creditably.
That seems to have been the only
serious blunder the Legion made in
planning and executing their cele-
bration, and it was not expected that
everything would work out perfectly.
Tie fireworks were witnessed by a
vast crowd at the fairgrounds, and
by many people at their homes and
farms H. w. Van Akin and family
were returning from the Lost river
country and saw some of the rockets
at a distance of forty miles. There
were a number of entirely new fea
lures that were beautiful and Won
derful, and when the display was
half over, the main supply accident
ally took fire and all exploded in
one grand barrage of minute or
two. 1t made flame area of per-
haps a hundred feet across, with in
tensive canonading and fleeing of
dark figures from noman's land, get
ting out of the ball of fire. The peo-
pie in the grandstand and the
bleachers and in the cars parked
near it, had more than enough while
it lasted, and many lost their nerve
and made rush for safety. When
it subsidized, figures were seen going
back into the darkness and thick gas, |
and whatever was left of the cases
Of fireworks was set off in the usual
way.
One block of Main street was given
up to dancing, besides the public
halls, and the day ended in music
and gaiety. Insofar as can be learned
from incomplete committee reports,
the affair was a financial success,
and the public will probably accord
the Legion the task of putting on
the patriotic exercises In future
years if they measure up to the
needs of the times.
The management of the crowds in
he streets and at the grounds was
very gratifying, and the public are
10 be commended and congratulated
Tor their care and thoughtfulness at
Ill times, to see that nobody got
nurt. Drivers of cars and all who

| had control of horses and vehicles
did their parts so we'll, and very few
cases Of even slight injury occurred
and no real disorder at any time
The community is fortunate in all
being friends on such occasions;
there are no elements in society that
are different from the rest or that
have to be watched and governed
they all govern themselves and do
the proper and the happy thing be-
cause they want to. If all the Off
GERS should be called away for the
day, the throngs would go on with
their merriment in good order and
good will with no fear and no in
clination to do any different from
the usual neighborly activities. The
peace officers have as much to do in
restoring the lost and found and
giving information as in keeping the
peace.

The Wrestling Match
Lester and Elmer Williams of
Moreland wrestled fifteen minutes
and it was a draw. This was fol-
lowed by the main bout between
Cletus Carey and Joe Myers, and was
one of the best matches that has
ever been put on in the town.
Carey came here from Iowa on a |
visit and remained for the match,
and Myers is from Arizona. Myers
won two falls in three, but it was so
evenly matched that the spectators
were silent for long periods watch
ing every move and studying an even
game. The first fall was won by
Myers in % minutes, the second one
by Carey in FL minutes, and the
third by Myers in % minutes, max
ing an hour and a quarter of actual
struggle, besides the fifteen-minutel
breathing spells between falls. This
feature of the days amusement oc-
cupied the evening from 7.30 to $50,
and was much appreciated by the
sports. The fireworks we're put on
during the time, but scores of the
spectators we're too busy watching
the wrestling match to pay an at
tention to the pyrOtechnics.

A CORRECTION

Our account of the drowning OF
the insane woman last week was
incorrect in giving the impression
that the woman had been gone some
time before she was missed and
search instituted for her.
DR.. Hoover states that they missed
her within q efw minutes after she
had passed out the door, and in trac-
ing her, got off the trail and went
some distance in the wrong direc-
ton. But for this mistake they
would have overtaken her before she
reached the river.
