BOY SCOUT CONVENTION

The visit of Oscar Kirkham tc
Blsckfoot Friday amounted to Boy
Scout convention. He addressed
packed houses during the day and q
big meeting at the tabernacle In the
evening. 1t was source of inspira-
ton for the boys and of information
for the adults.
The Boy Scout movement holds
out more hope for Improvement OF
conditions in civilization in the next
generation than any other one thing
we know Of. 1t is only fourteen
years since its organization, and 1t
is gripping the youth of America for
usefulness and fun and all sorts of
good results, not like religious re-
vival that is getting results today
and largely lapsed tomorrow, but Is
letting down the bars to desirable
activities, which, once begun will
not lose out.

MYTHICAL SCANDAL" IN
AMERICAN FALLS CONTRACT

! BOISE. Idaho.-"In relation t
the action of Congressman Cramptor
in holding up the appropriation FOL
construction work at American
Falls said Guy Flenner, OF the Idaho
Reclamation association, 1.-The sus
picion Is rather unavoidable that
while the voice Is the voice of Cramp-
ton, the hand may be the hand of A
P. Davis, former head of the recla.
nation service, whose dismissal by
Secretary Work has aroused per.
sonal antagonism of Mr.. Davis and
his supporters to practically every
thing Secretary Work has done on
reclamation, and more especially to
the great American Falls project be-
cause an Idaho man, D. w. Davis,
was named as A. p Davis success
sor. The hand of Fred T. Dubois is
seen. Mr.. Dubois is in the employ
of group of Fort Hall Indians and
asks more money than the appraised
price for bottom, wild hay land
needed for the reservoir. Any in
-spection of that property would lead
any unbiased mind to conclude that
the appraised price was all the farm
ers of the Snake river valley could
consistently be called upon to pay
for that property.
About the Contract
Congressman Champion, in his
recent speech. undertook to reveal
scandal in connection with the con-
tract between the government and
the American Falls reservoir district,
the latter signed by r. E. Shepperd,
npoc{donf ~ hn district
board. He calls attention to the fact
put up until the bottom lands have
been acquired.
To Protect Farmers
'That provision was insisted on by
the district representative as a pro-
lection to the farmers who had
voted to put up very large sums.
these bottom lands the res
ervoir cannot be built; and 1t was
not known until very late that the
had no authority to dispose
If them without congressional action. |
Meantime, under this contract, the |
'armers are protected from pay-f
nent of fixed bond charges.
A Mythical Scandal
Congressman Champion, in his /
sees here a scandal
md vociferates that Mr.. Shepherd
ould deposit the bond money with
he government at per cent inter
st pending requirement of the bot
ON lands, a process that might re-
Iuire years. OF course, the bonds
ave not bee sold, and if Mr.. Shep-
erd, or the district, had the cash he
r it would hardly make such deposit
With the prevailing interest rate in
daho, s per cent.
Calls 1t Absurd
'"The whole statement Of the con-
ressman is absurd. Mr.. Shepherds
equation protects him, where he is
nown, as against the congressman's
nnuendos. 1t is a shame such i'm
lied accusations can be circulated
lsewhere from such a source.
"This contract is so framed as to
rotect the farmers, and in that re-
pect is somewhat at variance with
ome former reclamation contracts.
1.-THE hope will be general in
1aho, and should be thruout the en-
re arid and semt-arid America, that
cal friends of reclamation in con-
ress will present the facts and fight
a finish for this necessary conser-
alton of the waste waters Of the
lightly Snake"

the public as q whole. 1t will be re-
membered that those two cats began
their dispute before starting to eat
their cheese. and II they had just
eaten leisurely until they we're about

was plenty for both, and the residue
Of the larger piece might have been
used as a bait for some silly mouse.

INCIDENTS OF STAGE TRAVEL lin MONTANA
I'M THE EARLY DAYS AS TOLD BY. PIONEER

| furnished concealment for high
waymen before the hold-up. The
deed accomplished, the cleft walls
of the canyon made easy the rob-
ber's escape, for once within them
nothing but bloodhound could
follow his trail.
Our pilot through this canyon
was the only stage driver I ever
saw who did not like to talk. He
INDUCED in no "reminiscences nor
stale jokes. Not once was told the
story of Horace Greedy, SO dear to
the memory of fellow drivers, nor
did he retail the highly suggestive
and convivial remark said to have
been made, once upon a time, by
the governor of North Carolina to
the governor of South Carolina.
This man Charley was melancholy
as we'll as taciturn. He never
smiled, and every attempt to con-
verse with him met with curt re-
ioinder. He was not liked by his
passengers, who craved entertain
ment to make them less apprehen-
sive.
The stage station where we had
our supper that evening was kept
by a young couple who had one
child, little girl of about seven
or eight years of age. Separated
by many miles from any young
playmate, this infant had the ways
of an adult. It was pitiful to see
how different she was from chill
dren reared in more fortunate sur
roundings. She had few toys, but
she exhibited for my admiration a
large doll which she regarded af-
fectionately, and handled with
great care.
To prove my interest in the doll
| carelessly inquired where did
you get this?" when to my aston
ishment she said, ooh, Charley
brought it to me-"
''Not Charley, the driver?" I ex-
claimed.
"But it really was. He is so good
to me. He brings me toys every
one l have he brought me. and
sometimes he brings me fruit and

candy. Charley is the best man in
the world"
Right then and there / made the
acquaintance of a glorified Char
ley. Not the gruff, uncommunica-
tive man we had come to dislike,
but an Angel Of Light, who was
the bearer of happiness to a lonely
child in this isolated spot. A few
years later | learned that he was
killed by highwaymen in that very
canyon and | wondered who would
bring Joy to the little girl at the
station, now Charlie was gone.
The snow rapidly diminished as
we travelled through Idaho until, at
the Montana line there was none,
and farmers were blowing. Before
reaching here we changed from the
sledge to what was known as a
"jerky," a two-seated coach deriv-
ing its nickname from its motion
We had entered a region of clouds
and the clouds presently dissolved
into rain, making the road too bad
for the jerky. A mud wagon" as
it was called in the vernacular of
the day, in other words spring
less lumber wagon, was provided
for our accommodation, but not for
our comfort.
At various points along the way
our companions had left us, so Col.
Sanders and I were the only ones
who endured this final agony, ex-
cept the driver, and he did not seem
to mind it. We did. AT the ordin-
airy rate of speed for which it is in
tended, a lumber wagon is not alto

gether undesirable; but when it is
drawn by horses kept on the run
by an ambitious driver, who, in
effect, says to his passengers,
Keep your seat, and we will get
to Helena on time" it is a differ
ent matter.
We raced along over the muddy
road, with no effort made on the
part of our driver to avoid rocks
or inequalities Of the surface, while
we held on to the seat, and suffer-
ed in silence, until just as we
thought we could not endure an
other hour of torture, the lights of
Helena apprised us that we had
reached the end of our journey.

Remarkable Invention Enables the
Deaf to Hear ALI Sounds Clearly
Everyone who is troubled with
deafness in any form will be inter-
ested In the announcement of the
Dictograph Products Corporation,
Suite 402A, Sharp Building, Kansas
City, Mo-, that they have at last per-
fected a device which will enable
every one whose auditory nerve is
not entirely destroyed to hear as per-
fectly as one whose hearing is nor
NAL. To test it thoroughly they sent
1t to a number of people who had
been deaf for years and they report
most gratifying results. Many state
that they hear the slightest sound
with perfect ease and that their nat
ural hearing has been greatly inn
proved. The manufacturers are 80
proud of their achievement and so
confident that every deaf person will
be amazed and delighted with it, that
they offer to send it to anyone by
prepaid parcel post on ten days free
trial. They do not ship G. o. D., nor
do they require any deposit, but send
1t entirely at their own risk and ex-
pense, allowing the user ten full
days to try 1t and decide whether
they want to keep it or not. AS there
Is no obligation whatever, everyone
who is troubled with deafness in any
form should take advantage of this
liberal free trial offer. Just send
them your name and address for des-
criptive literature and free trial re-

all down in a book at home"
The snow being too deep for
stages to run, we, together with
mail and express matter, were
slowed away in large sledge for
our trip north. There we're half
dozen other passengers, all men.
These did not fail to be quite merry
at m, expense, calling me pill
grim" 'tenderfoot," ETC., until Col
onel Sanders silenced them by say
ing Gentlemen, if anyone here is
pilgrim, it is not this young lady.
She was here before you ever heard
of Montana, or there was such a
territory"
For three days and two nights
we kept to the sled, except for the
brief interval when it overturned
as we attempted to go onto the
bridge spanning Snake river, and
I slid halfway down to the treach-
erous stream below. All day long
we rode over a glittering white ex-
panse, and under a brilliant sun,
that studded with millions of tiny
irainbows the crusted surface, until
our eyes ached from gazing at the
surrounding splendor, and we were
threatened with snow-blindness.
Weary from the constant mo-
ton of the rapidly drawn sledge, all
were glad of any excuse that gave
us an opportunity to have nights
sleep. Such an excuse was found,
or invented, and we passed the
third night at stage station. Half
frozen, I was ushered into room
where I gradually thawed out byi
a redhot stove. While sitting there
/ suddenly heard a voice from the
corner beyond the stove: well, / |
'spose I'll have to git up and fill
their bellies" and a man in shirt
and trousers revealed himself, fol-
lowed shortly after by woman.
A light being brought in, | saw the

I should occupy one.
