STANDARDIZING REAL

The Pocatello Realtors, sixteen in
number, entertained the Blackfoot
real estate men and members of the
press at dinner at the Eccles Hotel
on Monday. w. r. Farris presided
and five minutes addresses were
made, explaining the advantages to
the realtors and to the public, OF
having the real estate business or
ganized and standardized according
to the national organization that
has been functioning for several
years and doing perhaps as much
good as Rotary or Kiwanis.
It was said that it has been so easy
to get into the real estate business or
the insurance business, that all the
incompetents and the insists who
failed in other lines went out doing
what he could in these lines and in
solar as they operated in real estate
they usually did the public with en-
phasis on the do" If there was
Misrepresentation there was little
chance of redress; If title did not
prove to be clear or as represented,
there was no responsible person or
firm to go back to. This drove
honest men out of business and in
some towns every real estate man
says of every other real estate man
that he is a crook and should be
avoided. BY the time the new man
in the town finds out that all of them
are crooks according to their own

BINGHAM COUNTY TO
HAVE CHEESE FACTORY

At meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Bingham County
Farm Bureau, held on Tuesday, the
matter of securing cheese factory
was taken up and the plan proposed
Commercial club recently, was ap-
proved. County Agent Thomas was
authorized to assist in any way pos
sible.
Mr.. Voigt will be in Bingham
county next week to secure signers
for his contract. Meetings will be
held in each community and we want
to be sure and have all the farmers
out The contract will be explained
thoroly and the entire matter gone
over so that there will be no mis-
understandings. If enough signers
can be secured to assure Mr.. Voigt
5000 pounds of milk daily he will
order the machinery and make ar
rangements to install the factory at
once. He is only asking that the
farmers sign a one-year contract so
that he will be sure of one years
business before he invests his money.
In order to secure 5000 pounds Of
milk we must have from 800 to 400
hugh producing cows signed up.
The survey taken recently at the
farm bureau office resulted in a
total of 1850 cows within radious
of eight miles of Blackfoot, and
many of the COWS were overlooked.
There is no doubt about securing the
needed amount of milk. A copy Of
the contract may be secured at the
farm bureau office.
The following meetings have been
scheduled for next week. Be sure to

CONDITIONS IN ABER-
DEEM PROJECT

A contract was signed on February
20, which it is believed will end the
controversy which has existed fol
the past four years between the
Aberdeen-Springfield Canal company
and the American Falls Canal
Securities company regarding the
sale of more water rights and the
capacity of the canal.
In 1919 the capital stock of the
AberdeenSpringfeld company was
increased from $4,000 to $4,000
shares and the Securities company
was hereby given permission to sell
10000 shares, or acres, more water
right than had before been author
lied. At that time, April 8, 1919,
contracts were entered into between
the two companies authorizing the
construction of the Rockford pump
ing plant and supposedly set
thing several mooted questions
that had existed between the two
companies since the time of the or
ganization of the Aberdeen-Spring-
field company.
These contracts had little more
than been signed until considerable
dissatisfaction over them was evil
denced by stockholders of the Aber-
deen-Springfield company. This dis
satisfaction was due in the main to
a misunderstanding of the provisions
of the contracts. At that time no
reliable information was available
as to the canal losses on the system
and therefore it was not known
whether the decree would furnish
sufficient water for $4,000 acres or
not. AS result of this dissatisfac-
ton there was talk of not allowing
the Securities company to use water
at the pumping plants and further
result was the failure of both COM
panies to live up to the agreements
contained in the contract. The situa-
ton grew worse and in the annual
stockholders meeting of the Aber-
deen-Springfield company in Feb
ruary, 1921 the board of directors
were requested to start legal pro-
ceedings against the Securities COM
pany. By February, 1922 consider
able more information had been Sc
cured and it had been found that the
water supply was sufficient for the
full $4,000 acres. The stockholders
then requested the board of directors
to attempt to arrange settlement
out of court. The board was not

COMMERCIAL CLUB MET

On Friday evening the BlackfoOt
Commercial club held a meeting with
a full house. The secretary read
the report Of the years work, and
gave the financial reports of each of
the main projects sponsored, each
fund showing money in bank and all
obligations met and paid. The bal
ance in the treasury at the time of
the meeting was $95O.48, the most Of
it collected for carrying on special
undertakings that had not cost as
much as had been estimated. The
Fourth OF July committee had put on
a celebration and had come thru
with money in bank. The institute
committee for two years had raised
what seemed necessary to make them
safe, but in each case had come thru
with money in bank. The committee
delegated to get the reclamation Of
fees located here instead of at other
places that were seeking them, had
to advance some money to meet the
terms imposed by the conditions con-
fronting them, and they put it up
out of the treasury, but under ar
rangements that provided for the re-
turn of much of it to the treasury
and it is coming back according to
arrangements made by the commit
tee. There are other things ahead
that will likely call for considerable
money and the officers are maneu-
vering carefully to conserve the
funds on hand and to increase the
membership of the club to provide
funds for the most pressing needs
without having to go out and make
special subscriptions for it.

but aside from two or three ques-
lions, the part read seemed suf-
ficient.
