Oakiey's Weather Prophet
Predicts Cool Weather
For July the Fourth

Everything is now ready for
one of the biggest celebrations
the people of southern Idaho
ever enjoyed. The various COM
mittees have done thcir work
and the town is ready TO wei
come the hundreds--or thou
sands who are to be our
guests on Independence day.
The slogan Is, "Welcome, Ev-
e.ybody! Glad to see you. Come
again."
The finishing touches were
given to the celebration yester-
day when Owen Fairchild, Oak
ley's "bogus weather prophet"
promised excellent weather for
the Fourth; neither rain nor
snow" said the weather pro-
phet, in discussing the matter
with IA reporter, neither too
hot nor too Geld"

No More Taxes on
Telephone Messages

Telephone users appreciate the
announcement that the taxing OF
telephone messages is to come to an
end at midnight July 2. according to
II. A. Streed, manager OF The Noun
tain States Telephone and Telegraph
company. Commenting today ON the
repeal of the section of the Federal
Revenue Act of 1921 under which
the taxes were imposed, Mr.. Streed
declared that the telephone company
anticipates and is prepared for a
marked increase in traffic, made up
largely of calls of the short haul
type.
BY far the greatest number of
our toll calls are to points tina are
relatively nearby" said Mr.. Streed,
ia commenting on the effect of the
removal of the tax. "The law pro-
vided that there should be five
cent tax on telephone messages for
which the toll charge was more than
fourteen cents and not more than
fifty cents. On a message 10 Buriey,
for example, for which the toll rate
is twenty cents, tax of five cents
applied, so that the telephone user
paid total of twenty-five cents. At
ter July 2, the charge for such mes
81 ges will be twenty cents.
"This does not mean, Mr.. Streed
stated, that the telephone service
does not pay its proportion of axes.
The federal telephone message tax
was assessed against the telephone
user, and was in addition to the reg
rlar federal and other taxes which
the telephone company pays.
During the period when it was
necessary to use every means to
meet the enormous expenses of the
war, the public was glad to pay
tax on telephone messages: but it
row seems reasonable and proper
that this tax should be removed, es-
pecially since transportation taxes
were discontinued year ago."
Manager Streed stated that the
telephone company anticipated an
increased use of the toll service.
of the short haul
service. I'VE are ready with equip
ment and personnel to meet this de-

Advertising Can Save
Small Town Business
Reprinted from The Publishers
Auxiliary, Chicago


Auxiliary, Chicago
A common remark nowadays is
that the big towns are SWALLOWING
the little ones, that the automobiles
and good roads are taking all the
business to the big towns, that soon
there will be nothing left in the
small towns but depot, grain
elevator, post office, garage, and
cne or two little stores.
Fred Anderson, founder of the An
derson Department store, in Cozad.
Neb., has proved that this is not nee
essarily true. Cozad is town OF
1900 population, located near two
larger towns. Fred Anderson started
in business there with capital of
$4,000, $4,000 of it borrowed. That
was in 1906. He started in a little
frame building. Last year he did
business of 100000 and his store
row contains 3,700 square feet of
space.
The first ten years he did little Or
no advertising and Just dragged
along. Then he started advertising
in the local paper. He has been at II
every year and his business has
grown steadily to its present proper
tions. Last year he spent l IL per
cent of his income for advertising.
He says ne could afford to spent
twice that much.
He has duplicating machine ana
does lots of direct-by-mail advertis-
ing and he improves every opportu-
nifty for keeping his store before the
public But space in the local paper
is his chief reliance. He never uses
less than page and, sometimes,
several pages in the same issue. He
says he has bought the local paper
many times but never got title to 1t
But he doesn't want title because II
serves him so we'll as II is.
The Rosenb baum store in Harvard,
Neb, another 1900 town, is an ex-
ample Of what can be done by giving
the public what it wants and doing
enough advertising TO make the
facts known. Harvard is within easy
driving distance of four or five lar
ger towns, one OF $4,000. one or two |
of 1900 or more, and others much
larger than it is, but this store draws
trade for fifty miles or more.
These stores have proved that 1t !
is Just as easy to follow the good |
roads in Ford to a small town as
2 large one, provided the small town
goes after the business.
Mr.. Anderson says that what they
have done anyone can do by follow
ing the same methods. He says a
merchant is justified in spending as
high as six per cent of his income
'or advertising while he is starting.
But no small town will ever
get any place by bemoaning the
fact that all the business is GO
ing 70 the big towns and then
doing nothing TO prevent it.

INDEPENDENCE LAKES
BEST CAMPING SITE
IN ENTIRE WORLD

independence lakes, near Oakley
are the worlds finest camping site
At any rate, this earth has nothing
better to offer. The six lakes are at
an elevation of about $500 feet
almost mile higher even than
Cakley-while Mt. Independence
reaches the commanding elevation
OF 10,550 feet. Whensyou stand on
top OF Mt. Independence you can
look donw ON the world.
The lowest of the six lakes Is full
of trout. You can see them swim
ming about in the perfectly claer
water. The lake is closed to fishing
during 1924.
The other five lakes have not yet
heen stocked with fish, bur the Oak
ley Rod and Gun club plans TO stock
them in good shape this season. 1t
has been suggested that they be
stocked with black bass. In case
black bass is the right fish for these
lakes, it sure would be glorious.
The writer has fished for large
mouthed black bass in West Virgin
Ind caught them, too 1t is
something that one can never for
get. For the black bass is to the
trout as the trout is to he sucker
only more so, The black bass is 10
the trout as Teddy Roosevelt is to
the typical suave vice president
not including Helen Maria Dawes.
II you ever catch "a black bass. even
an eight-incher, you will forever
cast longing retrospective glances
back at il even in the otherwise
proud three minutes of landing az
seventeen inch trout. You occasion
ally discover small trout, but
there is no such animal as a small
black bass. A fish is just as big as
It thinks it is-and that's the rea-
son why even an eight-inch black
bass is a whale.
The black bass has personality.
There's something about him which
the cold and fishy scientific glance
does not account or-somethins
something which the fins, and gills.
and mouth, and bones and scales do
not explain. The black bass is
radiant personality.
The completion of two or three
miles of the Oakley -Elba auto road
on this side of the divide would
make it easy for Oakley people to
reach these lakes. This road should :.
be completed, and then ROD
should be built south from this
the lakes.
AT present the lakes can be
reached by horseback or in light
rig Some of the ranchers who have
had mountaineering experience are
to take parties to the lakes.
The Herald would like to hear from
parties who are interested.

AGREEMENT SEEN ON RELIEF PLAN FOR CROSSINGS
Track Elevation And Un- derpasses Predicted To
 Get Sibert o. K.

Prediction that modified plans for underpasses and track elevation will eventually be indorsed by Gen. w. l.. Sibert and the Chamber of Commerce committee, and that the city commission and railroads will agree on a grade crossing relief program without Etiga- ton, was made Saturday by Julian Kendrick, former city engineer, who now is lending his efforts towards sOlv- ing the tangle on behalf of the Bif- mingham Real Estate board.
 In formal statement, Mir. Ken dricks reviewed the situation ill detail and, declared that if the city's present underpass plans were revised so as to tighten the grades on the approaches lessen street depressions and track ele vations,. reduce construction costs and afford better trucking facilities to ant from the fright yards and depots, they would conform closely to the ideal so lution" of the situation of which Gen Sibert talked during his last visit here
 Mir. Hendricks, who has been study ing the crossing problem for years, feels confident that his efforts to bring about a compromise that will obyiate several years litigation in the courts, will be successful He is in touch with all parties at interest and is making rapid headway.
 Preparing Ordinances
 Meanwhile, the city's ordinances for underpasses at Fourteenth, Eighteenth and Twentieth streets were completed at the city hall. An o. finance calling for a viaduct at Twenty fourth street also was ready for presentation to the >ctiy commission for final action.
 Street Commissioner w. E. Dickson said it had not been decided whether to pass the ordinances Tuesday or hold them a week until nationally known expert" whose name he withheld on them. He indicated that ar arrangement. with this expert had been made on his trip to Detroit and Chicago last week.
 Although the city will not delay def mite action any longer, officials as serted they are still open for proposals that would aid the situation. Taey point out that the ordinances can be repealed if Mir. Hendricks plan is sSc, cessful. l '-.
 MT. Hendricks statement follows:
 After studying the statements from General w. L. Sibert and the commit tees from the Chamber of Commerce appearing recently in the local press and, the communication from General Sibert published. on the 3rd inst, predict that modified plans for under. passes and track elevation will finally be indorsed by the Chamber of Com. merce committee and General Sibert (COntinued On Page B.
