the fire losses. They only pay back
to the careless and unfortunate part
of the money they collected from you
and me.
Three-fourths of all fires are due
to carelessness. A "fre bug" is a
public enemy; careless neighbor is
your enemy; he owes you the duty Of
reasonable safety and you owe him
the same duty. Wilful carelessness
leading to fire should be punished the
same as arson.
Fire prevention Week October Z
49, is the time to think, to act, to
remove all fire hazards from home,
shop and factory and to make all
places of residence, employment,
amusement, instruction and confine-
ment more safe. Are you doing your
share?
A minutes thought may save life
and the accumulations oil a life time

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

The early dark of autumn had en-
veloped the countryside in its sty-
gian veil. All was quite DER held
and hill. Stealthily, like eyes OF
great panthers stalking their prey,
there appeared up thru the glade
the piercing searchlights of three
powerful motors. A quick, smooth
turn into a secluded lane, the soft
clasp of brakes, and again, darkness.
A few moments elapse, while
watchers, pecring from far off win
dows, turn to whisper the wonder
and suspicious mystery of it all. Far
up on the hillside there suddenly
CLOVIS a dull, red glare. 1t fiickers,
almost dies, then bursts forth into a
monster flare which silhouettes host
of sinking forms and casts great
shadows from the forest kings. The
light recedes, and now, from the far
mounds peak, like forerunners OF a
volcanoes wrath, tiny sparks, in
measured cadence, dart forth against
the inky sky. Then all is dark again,
until rhythmic throb, quick mounting
to rumble roar, heralds the swift
departure of the brigand( ?)clan.
Meanwhile word of dark, dank
deeds, suspicious reused, had been
sent to the constabulary chief, who
with characteristic decision, assem-
bled under arms a doughty posse and
FASTENED out to save the parish from
its unknown peril.
Last Friday morning the mystery
of The previous nights queer doings
on the mound near the O. Webster
farm, just west of the city, was ex-
planned. A party, consisting OF
Judge Knowles and family, Atty.
J. H. Grimm and family and Mr.. and
Mrs. F. Seton, chose that spot to
cook and eat picnic supper. Some
of the children, climbing to the top
OF the mound, lit matches ard tossed
them out onto the rocks in imitation
of fireworks display. Chief Hut
chins. and his well-armed posse, in
answer to call from that neighbor-
hood arrived just as the picnic people
left. and the latter were not aware OF
the CONSERVATION which their visit
had aroused until the following day.
And that's that.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

Gust minute" In that short
time fire destroys property worth
1898 in the United States, and minute
after minute this destruction goes on
until the annual total of one-half
billion is reached-more than the cost
of the Panama canal.
A minutes thought may save your
home or shop from fire, and your
dear ones from becoming living
torches.
In just one day, $50 American
homes are on fire, and 5 schools, 5
churches and hospitals burn, hous-
ing largely women and children, de-
pendents and invalids. More than
1900 fires occur every day in this
country.
Careless smokers are costing the
United States $165,000 a week.
The annual fire loss of the United
States has reached the alarming sum
of 1921 100000, $475 for every man
woman and child.
$4,000 human lives are sacrificed
in fires in this country. More than
half of these are lost in dwelling
house fires; many others are injured,
burned and disfgured for life in
fires. Most of the victims are women
and children.
Many "men will provide factories
and offices with elaborate systems of
exit and life-saving devices, to pro-
tect employees from fire, and then
will erect homes to shelter their own
families, without a single precaution
for saving their lives in similar
emergency" Even the ladder TO
reach windows and roofs and the
ever-ready fire extinguisher are lack
ing in most cases.
Insurance companies do not pay

DIXEY RETURNS
FROM BOISE

Ralph w. Dixey returned the first
Of the week from Boise where he
made a short visit accompanied by
Joe Thorpe. Mr.. Dixey was visiting
his birthplace, which he left at the
age Of about five years and returned
once during that time, which was
about twenty-eight years ago. He
states that there were SO many
changes In the city that he did not
recognize the old land marks. During
this trip they visited the old military
reservation which was formerly the
home of the Shoshone Indians AMI
looks so prosperous and inviting at
his time that Mr.. Dfxey questions
the fact that the change from that
place to the Fort Hall reservation
was the wisest move. This change was
made only after much fore thought
and discussion Of the chiefs in coun-
sci. Mr.. Dixey announces that the
Indian round up will start Monday,
and approximately 5000 head Of cat
tie will be brought In.

POULTRYMEN GET BIG RETURNS
THROUGH COOPERATIVE MAR
KETING ASSOCIATION.

The Pacific Cooperative Poultry
Producers of Portland, Oregon, have
secured returns for the farmers which
secures them a good profit. The poul-
tymen of the southeastern part Of the
state have been marketing their eggs
and poultry through this organiza-
ton, with local headquarters at Cald-
we'll. The association is organized
on the Sapiro basis. The eggs are
graded and pooled and each producer
receives the same amount for the
same grade Of eggs. While the price
is low the eggs is stored and the farm
ers are given enough cash to finance
their operations until the eggs are
sold The eggs are graded into six
classes as follows: Extras, Selected,
Firsts, Pulletts, Crax and Peewees.
During the period beginning De-
cember IS and ending May 10 tho
farmers received an average Of 291s
cents per dozen for the highest grade
eggs and 16 cents per dozen for the
lowest grade.
Those who marketed through this
cooperative association received
more for their lowest grade of eggs
than the Bingham County producers
received for their highest grade.
AS soon as there are enough hens
In this section Of the state It is i'm
portant that the poultrymen link up
with some such marketing association.

FROM WASHINGTON

BOISE, Idaho, June 28.-Reclama-
ton Commissioner, Warren G. Swend-
son returned last week from Wash
ington where he completed the final
business of having the Secretary of
the Interior sign the contracts which
assure the completion of the Amerf-
can Falls dam. The difficulty Of the
purchase of acquisition Of the Port
neuf bottoms belonging the Bannock
Indians has been overcome by Secre-
tary Work by putting that up to con-
gress at the next session. The secre-
tary takes the stand agreeing with
Commissioner Swendson that since
congress approved Of the American
Falls dam it either did approve of the
Indian land or would necessarily ap-
prove of It at the next session.
Especially favorable contracts were
drawn for the settlers OF this new
area. A portion Of the Minidoka ex-
tension is land that has never been
entered by settlers and when this
area is open to settlement ex-service
men will be given the preference for q
month or more before the land is OPP

lie. Arrangements were also made 90
