Make Seven Stops In Bingham
County

President Carl r. Gray, of tn,
Union Pacific railroad, and ten o.
eleven other officials of that roa(
and the Oregon SHORT Line will b.
in Bingham county Saturday after
noon and evening and will hole
meetings at six places in the county
and will make one stop at farm
the Eric Sundquist stock farm al
West Firth.
1t was expected that this party
would spend a whole day and ar
evening in this county, and that
other stops and meetings would be
made, but Mr.. Gray has four days for
the Snake river valley and will then
make night run to meet Mondays
engagements elsewhere. He had to
either divide Saturday between Bon
neville and Bingham counties or visit
this county on Sunday or leave us
out entirely, so it was settled by hav-
ing them for part of the day and the
evening, Saturday The Blackfoot
Commercial club had made arrange
ments for taking the party thru the
country and expected to make some
more engagements for stops, when
it became apparent that the time was
reduced and the committee in charge
of arrangements formed a schedule
allowing as much time as possible in
each community where engagements
had already been made, and will
convey the visitors over the route,
six meetings in the county of about
three-quarters of an hour each, give
a banquet in the tabernacle and have
after dinner speeches closing at mid
night or sooner.
Allowing for time to drive from
one meeting place to another at the
rate of twenty-five miles per hour,
the meetings at each place will be
made as long as possible. The COM
mittee plans to have three local men
travel with each railroad official In
one car, and have the procession
strung out so that meetings may be
in progress at several communities
at time, the speakers addressing
one audience and passing or to the
next community while others take
their places, thus frightening the
meeting at each place to longer
limits than If the party Travelled in
body.
The party will enter Bingham
from the north by auto at
about 3.35 and will make their first
stop at Firth from o'clock to Alb,
the first speaker leaving at Ais and
the others following at short inter-
vals.
They will cross Snake river at the
Firth bridge and drive to the stock
farm of Eric Sundquist, who special
yes In Jersey hogs, and has one OF
the finest herds in the state, besides
some fine horses and cows and large
acreage of certified potatoes. Each
ar will make q nve minute stop at
he Sundquist hog yards and then
20 on to the C. A. Taylor farm at
Rose, whore the people of that COM
nunity will assemble to meet the
,isitors and listen to addresses.
There will probably be some exhibits
II farm products on the lawn at each
Meeting place, so. the visitors can
zee them without taking the time to
inter the fields. The first of the
aravan of visitors and speakers is
to arrive at Rose at 4.50I
nd to pass on at $40, the others
IRVING and leaving In their order.
