THE CITY BUSINESS

At the meeting of the city council
on Tuesday evening there was some
discussion of the new schedule of
prices for power and light, the city's
bills being about $50 month higher
under the new schedule. They had
a contract for long term and could
not disregard it, but the public util-
tiles commission cancelled all such
contracts when they gave the order
for the higher rates, SO the council
noted that contracts seem one-sided.
They had considered installing
Diesel engine to be used for pump
ing water for the city system, but
changed their plans and relied en-
tirely on electricity. They are now
considering the purchase of Diesel
engine.
The Blackfoot City bank furnished
a new surety bond for $4,000 to Sc
cure deposits of city funds, some de-
tails of the new sewer extensions
were completed and the March bills
were allowed and ordered paid.

district highway engineer, has me
with the approval of all citizens in

The new route startes at the Cove
Motor company on Gould street, runs
north to the county infirmary, where
it joins the MCGUIRE road, runs west
to the pole line road and then d.
rectly north to Fit. Hall. When II
was brought out at Mondays meet
ing that the paving of the present
high line road was impossible on &C
count of the relocation Of the FIT.
Hall canal, all efforts were concen-
trated on the new route. While a
committee representing the village
of Fairview asked that the route of
the new highway be thru Fairview,
the committee willingly consented to
the plan outlined by Mr.. Engle, when
it was shown that by routing the
road thru Fairview would cost Ban
mock county on additional $4,000.
The meeting Monday was presided
over by Chairman A. H. MCGUIRE of
the Bannock county board of COM
Mr.. Mcclure made it
plain that the board of commission
srs was ready to do its share in
building the road, but that the cost

,ropriation.

Theodore Turner. Talks were made

chases of June and July lambs dur
ing the past six years was announced
recently by Frank E. Hickey, pur-
chasing agent for the Union Sheep

involves 10000 lambs purchased

per pound for June delivery and
liz cents per pound for July de-

KEEPING OUT FOOT
AND MOUTH DISEASE

The Southeastern Idaho Livestock
men acting in conjunction with Gov
ernor c. G. Moore, are endeavoring
to keep a strict quarantine against
stock from California, and any other
places that have the foot and mouth
disease. In order to combat this
disease it is necessary to clean and
fumigate all cars coming from the
infested districts.
Owing to the drought in Cali
fornia, they have to move much of
their livestock to provide feed, and
when an effort was made to solve the
problem for dairy stock by shipping
Idaho alfalfa into California, that
state placed ban on Idaho hay al
leging the presence of alfalfa weevil
in some of it, there is an effort at
self defense that seems to be hurting
both states.

BOOSTING WESTERN
S U G A II INDUSTRY

A movement is being started by
western sugar beet growers to en-
courage the buying of beet sugar in
the territory from the Missouri river
west to the Rockies.
1t has been demonstrated time
and again by chemical analysis that
there is no difference between beet
and cane sugar and that beet sugar
will answer all the purposes of cane
sugar.
The farmers point out that this is
a means for preserving and increas-
ing the beet sugar industry in num-
Der of western states.
: Farm organizations in the terri
tory, where beet sugar is produced,
are being appealed to for support on
behalf of the beet sugar growers.
The movement is sound as business
proposition and will encourage agri-
cultural and industrial development
in the beet territory Exchange.

At the annual commercial contest
which took place at the Idaho Tecl
Friday, the Blackfoot students mad,
an excellent record.
In the accounting event Joh1
| Oborn captured the first place, hi.
paper showing only one error.
Opal Jackman took the seconl
place, her paper showing only two
errors
Both of these students finished
their work in one hour and rs min
utes, while all the other contestants
had the two-hour time called on
them. Furthermore, out of the en-
tries from ten schools, only three
papers qualified, two of which were
the Blackfoot pupils.
In rapid calculation Blackfoot
won two places. Wanda Parsons, a
freshman, took the second place with
score of thirty-three out of forty
problems; Reed Davis took the third
place with score of thirty out Of
forty problems. The winner in this
event was in the contest last year
and has had two years work in rapid
calculation while the local students
have had only ten weeks work in the
subject. In spit of this Wanda Par
sons paper was only two points be-
hind the winner and Reed Davis was
only five points behind him, Reed be-
ing handicapped by broken arm.
Nellie Burton won third place
in typewriting, which was an excel
lent score. The first place in this
event made rating OF fifty-seven
words and Nellie's rating was fifty
one words. All the other schools in
the district have equipment enough
to give their pupils double periods
Of work except Blackfoot. Black
foot students are allowed to practice
one hour daily and all the other
schools in the district give two hour
practices. Blackfoot accomplishes |
the same results with the
single hour plan that the other
schools get with the two-hour plan.
American Falls won the cup again
his year, taking all the first places
n shorthand and typewriting.
Out of the ten schools entering
welve students each, only four

NOTED STACKER
WILL SURRENDER

NEW YORK-Low in funds, will
ing to do his bit in prison as {
Stacker and ready to expose those
who aided his sensational escape
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll is pre-
pairing to return to the United States
Norman Hapgood, editor of Hearst's
International magazine declared re.
Gently, following the receipt of q
cablegram from representative In
Berlin.
The announcement came in con-
nection with an article appearing In
the April issue of the magazine, writ
ten by Leighton Blood, who declares
he went to Germany as a representa-
tive ofthe American Legion with the
approval of the state department and
obtained Bergdoll's promise to sur
render.
Blood is now in Berlin waiting for
Bergdoll to wind up his affairs. He
will bring Bergdoll back, Hapgood
said, on a ship sailing soon.
Sensational disclosures in connec-
ton with the escape of Bergdoll may
be expected upon the slacker's ar
rival here, Blood states in the maya
zine article.
Bergdoll's escape IN April, 1920,
Blood says, was lone of the best ar
ranged affairs in the history of
America"
Those responsible for it, the arti-
Gle states, were men high in the
confidence Of their government"
After several conferences with
Bergdoll at Eberbach, according to
Blood's account, Berdgoll agreed to
return to the United States. Only
the closing up of his affairs, 1t Is
said, holds up the departure.
Bergdoll has collected a quantity |
OF scientific instruments which can
not be taken out of Germany and
must be disposed of and has leased
several game preserves in Baden that
he must liquidate, Blood declares.
The chief motive behind Bergdoll's
a abandonment >of his exile, according
to Blood, is the pinched condition
of his finances The funds he took
with him on his fight were soon dis
sipated, the article said and the gov
eminent seizure and retention of
more than $75O,000 worth of his
deprived him of an income
$1,000 a week.
By coming home, he was told, he
could serve his sentence, receive his
property and live his life in peace.
Behind the mission of Blood to
Eberbach, the article says, are Lem
lei Bolles, national adjutant of the
American Legion, and Garland w.
POWELL, director of the Legion's
Americanism commission.
