MEETING RAILROAD OFFICIALS

Last Saturday there was q meet
ing of hundred or so of men from
towns of the Snake river valley sit
uated within fifty or sixty miles of
Pocatello, to meet with officials of
the Union Pacific and Oregon Short
Line at a luncheon at the Bannock
Hotel at Pocatello. The various
commercial clubs sent delegates in re-
Spouse to an invitation, and Black
foot was represented by Mayor E. T.
Peck, w. F. Bergman, ]. M. Har-
tong, l.. B. Dustin, Byrd TregO,
Louis Felt, Otto Mas and Mike Bar
clay.
Carl R. Gray, president of the
Union Pacific railroad, was the prin-
cipal speaker, and the keynote of his
address was cooperation, friendship
in business and improving business
conditions by planning the construc-
tive and leaving out the destructive.
He reminded his audience that bust
ness is business, whether applied to
railrOading or merchandising, and
that nobody profits or prospers at
the expense or by the sacrifice of
others in business, and that it is only
when a real and beneficial service
Is performed that real progress is
made. He advised and asked for a
closer cooperation of all lines of
business, for better use of our re-
sources and facilities of production
and service, and burying of Old Man
Gloom. He said we have prospects
of bumper crops to go on the markets
at fairly good prices, and that not
only will Idaho come back, but it
will come back quicker and stronger
if we will do so.
Besides President Gray, there
were present, Howard V. Plat, gen
eral manager of the Oregon Short /
Line; R. A. Pearce, general superin-
tendent; w. R. Armstrong, chief /
engineer; G.. A. Hinckley, superin-
tendent of motive power; Charles R.
Brooks, superintendent of the Utah !
Division, and H. B. Thompson, attor-
ney for the Short Line.
While in the receiving line talking
with the various delegations, Mr..
Gray expressed his regret that he had
not had an opportunity of visiting
and getting acquainted
with some of its people, and upon
Mayor Peck's asking him if he could
not find an opportunity to visit the
town in the near future he replied
that he would be coming this way
again in month or SO and that he
would arrange his itinerary SO he
could visit Blackfoot. Mayor Peck
assured him of the cordial relations
existing between the town and the
railroad company, and of our desire
20 be host to him and his party at
such time as he could honor us with
l visit. Mr.. Bergman said we would
wish to show him the resources of
he country for some distance around +
3lackfoot if he could take the time /
% go out over it, and Mr.. Gray re-
)lied that he would do that; that
lie would plan to spend day and
IN evening with us. I,
The .Blackfoot delegation, in talk
ng it over among themselves, de- [
ermined to present the matter to
he civic bodies and begin formu |
ating plans early, for entertaining
dr. Gray and those that come with
lin, regarding this as an unusual
for US.

FARMERETTE RAISES EN-

lone, the little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Parsons of Thomas, has
just disposed of the last of stock of
spring doglets that are white and

Each customer fell in love with
his or her individual puppy from the
litter, and lone doesn't know whether
to be sad over parting with her
stock of goods or be glad over rails
ing and delivering them o. X. to
those who spoke for them. If lone
takes up club work and goes into it
with the same care in raising porkers
or calves, she will make an enviable
record as a farmerette.

STRANGE FIND OF
CACHED TREASURE
MAN DIGGING POSTHOLE. NEAR
HYSHAM UNCOVERED A SUM F
SAID TO EXCEED $4,000
Might be Part of the Buried Loot
of Kid Curry, or Cache of Robbers;
Recalls Old Grimes; All Would
Dig Now.

Whether it be part of Kid Curry's
treasure, or the loot of train rob-
bers, or the cache of bandits who
robbed and murdered an army officer
in the days of the old stage coach,
there is keenest interest in a find
of buried money made by G.. l.. Har-
ris in digging a posthole for a clothes
line. He uncovered a sum said to
exceed $4,000 at a depth of about
four feet.
Speculation as to the ownership of
the buried cash ranges from the OPP
erations of the Curry gang in north
Montana, some of whom: escaped to
the south after the holdup of a
Great Northern train and crossed the
Yellowstone at this point, through
the category of possibilities, includ-
ing the holdup of an army officer
from Fort Keogh on his: way to Fort
Custer with a store of money for the
troops stationed there. The pay
master was murdered and his horse
and money were stolen. n
While Mr.. Harris says that he is
willing to deliver the money to the
rightful owner, he insists that the
fullest description of the find must
be given before he will turn it over.
So many of the neighbors have shown
a disposition to take up the digging
where he left off that Mr.. Harris
has deemed it wise to post this no.
tice: mo excavation here without
written permission. Permit will be
given to dig, if you will agree to re-
place the dirt" i
There is said to be evidence. that
the money was buried years ago.

general of Canada, the Duke of Con-
naught, gave Day and Weedick $780,
900, and told them to put on a real
show. And they did.
1t is a big thing when the brother
of a King of England comes to an
Fall-British city like Calgary, and 1t
had been arranged for the ducal
party to make tour of the larger
cities of Alberta and British Column
bia, after his visit to Calgary. But
the Princess Patricia spoiled things,
as far as the subsequent tour of the
Duke, her father, was concerned.
She was so infatuated with the Day
Weedick show that she exercised her
royal privilege of doing what she
pleased, and remained in Calgary all
week, going to the stampede every
day; and the ducal party, perforce
was compelled to stay also. The
swing around the circle was aban-
doned, all because of a pretty girl
who was blood-close to the throne of
England liked to watch the danger
Gus sports of the cowboys.
The next big success of Day and
his associates was at Winnipeg,
where in 1913 a big stampede was
staged.
. Then, when the Prince of Wales
went into western Canada two years
ago he expressed a desire to see a
real stampede. 1t seems that his
royal cousin, the Princess Patricia,
had told him of AID Day and his
achievements. Day was sent for and
put on a rodeo at Saskatoon for the
princes entertainment. And Day did
it we'll, as he always does. The
insisted on riding around the
grounds on Days saddle horse, and
when he went on his way, the future
King of England told Day that he ap-
preciated the entertainment highly,
any time he happened to be
in England.
"The prince is a regular feller,"
said day in telling of this expert
ence modestly. "On1y he would post
when he was ridin' my little ole
boss. 1t seemed to hurt the critters
feelin's. 1 reckon the pony thought
had started a dude ranch, or some
~
Ray knight is Days partner in the
rodeo game. Knight is one of the
big cattlemen of western Canada, and
although SO years old, is one of the
best ropers in the business. With
Jim Watson, we'll known in Montana.
Knight runs a large, cattle ranch in
Western Canada.

Of the wild west be in Shelby on the

Il of the Shelby rodeo; AID Day,

TIRES WITH 500 NAIL
HOLES LEAK NO AIR

Mr.. v. S. Mi1burn of Chicago has
invented a new puncture-proof inner
tube, which, in actual test, was pune
tured 500 times without the loss of
any air. Increase your mileage from
10000 to $4,000 miles without re-
moving this wonderful tube from
the wheel, and the beauty of it all is
that this new puncture-proof tube
costs no more than the ordinary tube,
and makes riding a real pleasure.
You can write Mr.. V. S. Milburn at
1913 West 47th ST., Chicago, as he
wants them introduced everywhere.
Wonderful opportunity for agents. If
