THEY ARE CANDIDATES.

There are good many candidates
coming up for office in Bingham
county, but at present we do not
know who they are. We have not
asked the present encumbents wheth-
er they wish to be reelected, and
they have not volunteered to tell us.
A few years ago salaries we're low
in comparison with what could be
made at other things, and candidates
were scarce. Now the pendulum has
swung the other way and the woods
ought to be full of candidates.
1t is about time to be making up
ones official mind what plan is to be
followed, and slip the editor a word
or two on the Cal Coolidge plan that
says, Eyes, l am a candidate; why
not?"
Andy Gump puts it this way: mo,
won't accept the nomination from
any convention, but If the people in
sist upon my making the race 1 will
not resist their will. l am 100 per-
cent for the people and when they
have expressed their sovereign will 1
am not the man to decline"

Mrs. Minnie Willie and son, Lois,
. and her sister, Mrs. Agnes Camas
] Jackson, are preparing to leave soon
! for their annual visit to Camas
Prairies and spend several weeks at
the home of their mother. They will
travel with a team and wagon and will
make the trip in four days, Arco be-
ing nearly the half way place.
Camas Prairies lie to the westward
of Wood river on the way to Boise,
and was the place where grew the
camas root that constituted the car
rots and parsnips of the Indians in
their native habits. In 1876 some
stockmen turned a lot of hogs loose
to live on the camas root and when
the Indians objected they had an ar
gument that started the Nez Perez
war that ended in the surrender of
Chief Joseph after his memorable
march and retreat of a thousand
miles through the mountains, pur-
sued by General Howard, but cap
tured by General Miles who happen
ed to be stationed in Montana where
he could head them off.
When the reservation was laid out
it was written into the treaty that the

the Camas Prairies, but the clerk
misunderstood and wrote it parts
of the Kansas prairies,' and when
the Indians claimed it was their
crops the hogs were eating, the hog
men denied their rights and a fight
followed.
Mrs. Willie and Mrs. Jackman
have arranged with a neighbor to
pick and put up their fruit this
summer so it will be ready for winter
use, and they will remain with their
mother probably until sometime in
August. Their mother is alone in
the world now She has planned
to go out for trip into the Saw
tooth mountains with her daughters
to gather some pine nuts as they did
in the old days when the girls were
little. Mrs. Jackson is also widow,
her husband having lost his mind
long ago and was being treated an
the Blackfoot Asylum when the big
fire of November, 1889 destroyed
most of the buildings and he perish

Until recent years it was the Gus
tom for man of the family to
accompany the women on their trip
to Camas prairies and to go for them
when the visit was over, but the
women of the federated clubs of the
country went across the states to
Los Angeles last week for the big
powwow of club women, and they
did not require escorts A Los Ange-
les man who was invited to address
them said they would better be at
home training the children than let
ting home life go to pieces the way
it is going in America, and one brave |
woman got up and told them he |
was right in a large measure.
Mrs. Willie is taking her little |
son along and will continue to train |
him in the ways of the fathers.

The federal aid project proposed by
the commissioners Of Bingham coun-
ty for, grading and surfacing the
Lost River highway from the Bing-
ham county line east and south to
Riverside to the junction of the
Roosevelt highway, which has been
under consideration for some months,
was some time ago designated as
being entitled to federal aid, and the
proposal to improve twelve miles Of
It from the Bingham county line
eastward this year has been approved
by the federal engineers and the call
for bids on the construction will be
published within the next thirty days.
This aid was secured by our COM
missioners partly on the plea that 1t
is piece of desert road not coming
into settlement and production,
merely connecting trunk lines be-
tween national parks, and now being
more needed than ever by reason
of the recognition of the Craters of
the Moon as national monument
and scenic attraction. To put the
expense of road construction and
maintenance upon the nearest county
regardless of who receives the bene-
fits was acknowledged to be unfair,
and the federal engineers and Off
Gals are granting aid not only in
surfacing the road but for the grad
ing as we'll. The division of the
expense is So per cent federal aid
and AZ per cent county money, with
the understanding that when finished
the state highway department will
maintain it.

WON'T BOTHER YOU MUCH

The folks who sell chautauqua tic
kets this year are planning to make
it as easy for the public as possible
and not canvass anybody more than
once or by different persons. Tickets
for boys and girls will be on sale
Saturday, June IA, at the corner of
Bridge and Broadway, the former
Simmons office. There is some sort
of prize waiting for each of the first
fifty boys and the first fifty girls
who buy season tickets, the price be-
ing $3.50.
The drive or-the sale of adult tic
kets will be conducted on Monday,
and it will be done systematically so
that everybody will be solicited once,
and none more than that excepting
by accident or oversight.
The chautauqua opens on Saturday
evening, the 21st and closes the 28th,
there being no entertainments on
In most of the circuit this
year the adult tickets are sold at
$500, but the Blackfoot contract
calls for the old price of $2.75 and
they will be furnished at that.
