SENIOR PLAY A SUCCESS

The Senior play, given on Thurs
day and Friday evenings of last week
proved a great success, and was en-
joyed by large audience on each
evening. 1t was pronounced the best
school play presented in BlackfOOt
in several years. Much credit for
the success of the affair is due to
Mrs. D.. P. Brill, who coached the
young people in their parts, and also
for the young Thespians, who re-
hearsed faithfully for many weeks
before the play was given.
The star of the cast was Miss
Grace Stultz, who displayed histri-
onic ability far beyond that expect
ed of a high school student. Miss
Gertrude Owen as aunt Ida" made
the most of a comedy part that fur
nished much of the amusement of
the evening. Miss Grace Miltenber-

IDAHO CATTLE AND
TUBERCULOSIS

The department of agriculture for
Idaho tested the herds of range cat
tie in Lemhi County and found they
were infected with tuberculosis. In
that county 81 per cent of the cattle
were range cattle, and out of 448
herds tested, SO herds had tubercu-
losis. The average number of ami
mails in the herds was 81, the largest
herd containing 1927 cattle. They
found that 21.1 percent of the herds
were infected, and IT percent of all
animals showed traces of the dis
ease to the extent that they are
termed "reactors."
Reactors may be shipped and
under government in
spection and parts of the herds sal
vaged, those shipped from Lemhi
county bringing an average Of 1927
for grades and 1914 for purebreds
when shipped.

BOOKS ADDED TO LIBRARY

Miss Edna Gillespie, librarian of
the public library, reports that a
number of welcome additions to the
library shelves have been received
lately from generous friends. Mrs.
C. V. Fisher donated a number of
juvenile and fiction works, and some
good general books, including Theo-
dore Roosevelt's travel story, Thru
the Brazilian Wilderness Mrs. J.
c. Fisher was the donor of TWEEN
ty-eight volume set of short stories
by American authors. Mrs. John G..
Brown contributed a timely story in
Gerhardi's "Futility," novel de-
plotting present-day conditions in
Russia. Another appreciated gilt
was a collection of fiction from Mrs
F. A. Miles.
These gifts, with the new books to
be ordered as result of the tag
day activities Of the Current Event
club, will make it necessary to add
new book stacks, which will be in
stalled soon. These will crowd the
floor of the library, but are needed !
to take care of the increasing num-

trict agreed to tentatively. The
figure had to be put at the actual

then the Empire district has voted
bonds to take 10000 acre feet Of
storage at American Falls. Others
are coming in as fast as possible SO
there is little doubt that capacity of
the first unit of the reservoir will
be 100000 acre feet. As the ca

the cost of occurring property rights

owners and other concessions, with

has a grinder and chopper and gives
the hogs a mixture of chopped feed
with syrup from the factory. He
keeps about eight brood sows and

eating he avoids digging holes to
get dirt for use Where a dyke is
slim or low, he builds it up with dirt

the farm and he hauled from it to
every part of the farm that needed
repairs or filling in along the ditch
