sELLING THE HIsToRIC PAST.

From the Nations Business.
Get away from the railroad and
shake hands with a thousand years"
The slogan is that of certain firm
of dude wranglers" in New Mex
leo town, but it is an admirable en-
bodiment of the spirit in which the
whole southwest greets the eastern
tourists as the latter steps from the
train or rolls into town in his mud
spattered pennant -pla stored, trans
continental car And the south
westerner continues his little speech
somewhat as follows; t'0
See our ancient cliff dwellings,,
where men lived thousand years
ago, and see the SCOT is still thick
on their chimneys. See the pueblo
of Acoma which has not changed
since the Spanish soldiers stormed
it in the sixteenth century.
See. the oldest town in North
America. and the oldest street in

in the Oldest street and let the old
est inhabitants tell you all about
the oldest times in these United
States. .es
There is a suspicion abroad, often
voiced by high-brows, that the man
of business does not take any IN
terest in history. The great lessons
of the past are. lost on him, they
say. Let -sceptics journey into the
land of the advertised sun. They
will discover business men who
know more history than most college
professors, and who show an enthu-
siastic interest in it.

THE PUBLICS FLOWERS

BlackfOot has a few rare flowers
just now in the court yard, paid for
by the taxpayers of the whole county,
and they should not bloom unseen,
neither should anyone get excited
and suppress them in their button
holes.
Eleven years ago the county spent
several hundred dollars preparing
the lawn, and afterwards spent some
more hundreds of dollars for flower
ing plants and shrubs, and has had
a few lilacs, few roses, short lived,
and now has a few peopies in bloom,
exquisite in their beauty. They
have cost the county a good many
dollars for each rose of peony that
has ever bloomed and been left to
finish its existence on the stem where
1t grew, and the unfair and nom
conscientious are admonished to
leave them in place rather than snip
them of or pull them up by the
roots.
There is one peony plant on Shill-
ing Avenue that blooms earlier than
others and is the rarest in all the
and people whom the
law defines as guilty Of a INSIDE
meanor," have pulled OF the blooms
80 greedily that some Of the roots
have pulled up and 1t is running the
plant. The owner gets SO provoked
about 1t she says she feels like chop
ping 1t out and throwing 1t at them.

CITY COUNCIL MET

On Tuesday evening the council
had meeting over routine matters
of sewer extension, sprinkler service,
and ditch troubles. They disposed
of the complaints Of the Grove City
ditch by issuing an order for the
city attorney to bring an injunction
against the ditch company to stop
them from wasting water in the
streets.
Investigation of leaky bitches
proves that 1t arises from two con-
trying to force water
on high lawns or thru small open
ings that water cannot flow thru in
quantity, and from the steam roller
having crushed in or flattened the
metal culverts when the street pow
ing was rolled down. The city is
not assuming any responsibilities in
either case and the Grove Citay
ditch has good prospect of going
out of business in large sections of
the town if irrigators do not stop
trying to force water thru the pro-
verbal knot hole.

IDAHO SCORES AGAIN

WASHINGTON-David w. Davis,
former governor of Idaho, who for
several months has been special as
sistant to Secretary of the Interior
Work, was Monday appointed COM
missioner of reclamation, new Office
created to take the place of that of
director of reclamation.
At the same time an order was is
sued by Secretary Work abolishing
the office of director Of reclamation,
by which method Arthur P. Davis,
director, was released from govern
ment service.
No explanation of his action was
issued by Secretary Work, but it is
understood in official circles that he
was actuated by desire to make a
change in the management of the
reclamation service because of ex-
pressions of dissatisfaction with
Director A. P. Davis which have been
coming from the west for some
time.

RESERVATION NEWS

Construction work is progressing
on the grade for the Gibson pave
ment, and supplies are being hauled
to the Blackfoot reservoir for con-
struction work on the enlarged dam
and spillway. The Reclamation SER
vice is moving dredge and tractor
from the canal up to the dam, and
they and the county commissioners
of Bingham and Caribou counties
are apportioning the work on the
roads leading to the dam, to afford
better passage for supplies and to
make dugroads wide enough to al
low the passing of the dredge which
requires a clearance of fifteen feet
with a twelve-foot track.
Supplies are being hauled in from
Soda Spring to the southern end of
the reservoir for closing the Leaks.
This has been in progress for some
time and the construction camp is
getting everything ready to push the
work when the water line is lowered
enough to allow it.
An Artificial Geyser
Not many people are familiar with
the conditions about the southeast
ern extremity of the reservoir. 1t
ends in the form of a fishes tail,
reaching back in the depresSiOns
that end in narrow draws between
the hills or benches. The original
survey marked the contour or shore
line to be expected when the reser-
vOir was full of water, and over the
hill or the ridge in some localities
were other depressions that lay be-
low the water line of the filled reser-
voir\ In one such basin the de-
preston was something like $50 feet
below the level of the filled reser-
voir but was completely damned off
by the intervening ridges and hills.
In the central part of the big basin
were fences and sheep camp and
shearing sheds, and after the reser-
voir had been in use a year or two,
and when the sheep shearers were !
engaged with a band of sheep, a /
geyser burst forth in the basin, sew
eral feet in diameter, and the water |
spread rapidly in all directions,
drowning some of the sheep and
making lively work for the men to
get away. When it filled up to the
evel of the lake the water was some
hing like $50 feet deep where the
;hearers had been, and some of their
is still there.
In some places about these ex-
remities of the lake, the water can
)e seen flowing right into the rocks.
t has been found that all the leaks,
,r all that are known, are in that
me section of country, and that
lyke built across the shoals to keep
he water away from them is the
easible way to stop the leaks. In
ONE places the dyke will keep the
water miles away from tie place
where it enters the rocks in its I'M
foreground channels.

CRIMINALS INSANE

BOISE, Idaho, June 16. = Two
state prisoners, Edward Roscoe and
Albert Mcdonald, were committed to
the state insane asylum at Blackfoot
today following hearings that were
held at the penitentiary before Pro-
bate Judge F. E. Chalfant.
Both men, according to authori-
ties, have evidenced signs of insanity
for some time. When the keeper
opened the door of McDonald's cell
recently, where he was kept in soli-
tary confinement, he darted out and
climbed up one of the telephone
poles in the prison yard, and it was
several hours before he could be
persuaded to come down.
Drs. Glen and Braxtan testified at
the hearings.
Roscoe was serving a term from
Bannock county for highway rob-
berry and Mcdonald was sent from
Bonner county after conviction on a
burglary charge.-Tribune.

lin, L. D. Franklin, D. w. Church
and e. C. White, who we're at various
times during the years 1918 to 1921
directors and officers of the Bannock
bank, knowingly permitted, partici-
pated in, assented to and approved
the making of loans by the officers,
agents and servants of the bank far
in excess of the limit prescribed by
section $500 Of the revised statutes
of the United States, which limits
the amount bank can loan to any
person to 10 per cent OF its unim-
paired capital and surplus, whereby
large sums of money of the creditors
and dispositions became wasted and
lost.

Xavier Servel, $254,209; E. w.
Pearce, 1901, 1852.
The complaint against A. ]. Pierce,
Lyman Fargo and w. w. Armstrong
was dismissed These men were
named in the original complaint, but

as they were not directors during
the time S. L. Reece was managing
the bank.
The original complaint, which was
filed last year, was ruled upon March
~, 1928, by Federal Judge Earring
ton of Nevada, who required the
plaintiff to amend the complaint,
making it more specific in certain of
its charges.

the defunct Bannock National bank,
is now serving a term in the federal
prison at Mcneil island, having been
convicted at Boise on a charge of
venue of Irregularities in the man
