PRESIDENT HARDING MAY COME

AMERICAN FALLS, Ida, May T.
President Harding will be asked to
stop at American Falls and turn the
first spade of earth for the construc-
ton of the American Falls dam, on
his return trip from Alaska this sum-
mer, II the plans of the American
Falls Chamber TO Commerce mater
ialize. The president has already
signified his intention of making one
stop in Idaho and 1t is believed here
that American Falls is the logical
stopping point.
This position is supported by the
fact that Harding Dam" has been
proposed as the name for what will
be Americas greatest dam and reser-
voir at American Falls. National
attention has been drawn to Ameri-
can Falls, where It'll planned to i'm
pound 100000 acre feet of water
for irrigation purposes. Homeseek-
ers are planning to come to Idaho
and to American Falls and eastern
ers are routing themselves by Am
erican Falls to see where this great
project Is to be established.

MAY FETE PROMISES WELL

Much interest has been aroused
in the May Fete to be given by the
school children of Blackfoot on the
lawn at the city park on Friday at
ternoon beginning at two o'clock.
About a thousand children in cos
tunes representing different coun-
tries and periods will put on a num-
Der Of drills and dances, and two
groups of girls will wind the May
pole. Miss Vangie Crawford Is the
organizer and director for the affair,
and has been assisted in drilling
the children by all the teachers of
the schools. Miss Marie Millick is
the accompanist. The children have
been drilling under the direction of
their teachers for about three weeks,
and are ready to go through their
parts without a hitch. A rehearsal
was held at the city park on We'd
nesday afternoon, and the result was
encouraging to those in charge.
Supt. Bloom states that the chill
dren of nearby schools have been
invited to attend, and he extends a
special invitation to all Blackfoot
citizens, especially the business men,
to attend the fete, and see what the
children can do. The exercises at
the park will start at p. m. The
parade will form on Main Street at
the telephone office, and proceed
along Main to Park Avenue, thence
to the park. The program will be
about two hours in length.

BLACKFOOT LOSES TO
POCATELLO INDIANS

In the first game of the B league
played Sunday at the Fair Grounds,
Blackfoot lost to the Pocatello In
dams by the score of 13 to 6. Allen
started in the box for Blackfoot and
managed to hold the Indians to tie
score until the fifth inning when
Gerddes took his blaze. The In
dams then took the lead with four
runs in one inning and Simmons was
substituted for Gerddes. Although
Simmons pitched pretty fair game
he was unable I'd hold his opponents
whose score kept on growing.
Ray Holder, catcher, and Connel,
third baseman, were unable to play
Sunday and the team was weakened
considerably. They are working
hard this week and intend to make
showing in the game next Sunday
with the Pocatello Bears, at the local
Fair Grounds.
Feature plays of the game were
two home runs by Berg for Black
foot and one by Beacham for Poca-
tello. The bases were clear on both
of Berg's hits while that of Beacham
brought in two tasemen. Erickson,
who pitched for Pocatello, struck
out 10 men during the game.
The game was umpired at. the
home plate by Frank Garvin.

"COVERED WAGON" is
SHOWN FOR INDIANS

Indians of Fort Hall who took
part in the filming of 1.-THE Covered
Wagon" in Utah last fall, had the
privilege of seeing themselves on the
silver screen in special showing of
the great epic of the west, at Fort
Hall last week. The picture was
shown at the Government school,
and on account of the size of the
room, the Indians were allowed in
in relays. There were a good many
"repeaters,' as those who saw the
picture once wanted a chance to
see themselves again. They were
enthusiastic over the film, and for
got their customary stoicism in many
expressions of pleasure and interest.
This preview was given for the In
dams in accordance with promise
made to those taking part in the
film, that they should see it before
it was released to the general pub
lie. After the showing, the film was
sent back to New York.
Idaho and Utah will get a great
deal of publicity out of the showing
of this film, as places in these states
will be featured in advertising it,
particularly Fort Hall, the first white
settlement in this part of the coun-
try, and an important stopping place
on the Oregon Trail.

A large party of foreigners, includ-

captured by bandits on the Shang-

FAST DRIVER IN TOWN

D. A. Jenkins was up from Salt
Lake this week, and says he is like
ly to comlpete arrangements to drive
from Zion National Park $50 miles
south of Salt Lake, to establish a
record, and then drive from Salt
Lake to West Yellowstone in the in
terest of good roads, to establish a
record for this route.
The Commercial clubs along the
way are fostering the idea, and the
plan is to show what a good road
and desirable route Is for tourist
travel. Those who spend much long
er time going via Salt River, Swan
Valley and briggs and thru Jackson
Hole and suffer delays and slippery
roads for every shower. Just be-
for the run is made, the people liv-
ing along the route will pick the
stones out of the road, fill the ruts
and clear the track for the event.
Then when people see hoy fine 1t
is to have the more perfect roadbed,
they are likely to organize to keep
1t so.
