DEATH OF J. o. MORGAN.

]. o. Morgan departed this life
at his home in Blackfoot on Wednes-
day morning after several weeks
Illness He was sixty-one years old
and had been troubled with heart
weakness for good while, combined
with nervous troubles.
The funeral will be conducted

day afternoon at 2 o'clock, and bur-
ial will be made at the Grove City
cemetery.
Mr.. Morgan was a stockman who
had lived at Soda Springs and Black
foot for a long time, and owned
beautiful home here. He was-one
of the original projectors of the plan
to store the water of Grays lake and
the Blackfoot river drainage at
what is now the Blackfoot reser-
voir, and had the construction work
in progress when the government
took it over. For the past fifteen
years he has been a stakeholder and
much of the time a director in one
or more local banks. Mr.. Morgan
was man who did not make large
number of acquaintances, but those
who knew him held him in very high
esteem. He leaves wife and five
children, May, Bernie, Idaho, Dan
and Frances.

Craters of Moon Road
Assured at Early Date

That a suitable road into the Cra-
tiers of the Moon national monument
reserve will be constructed and that
work upon some kind of road into
that area will be started this season
was determined at recent confer
ence held in Montana between w.
]. Hall, director of public works for
the state of Idaho; c.. A. Bottolfsen,
publisher of the Arco Advertiser;
Stephen T. Mather, federal director
of national parks and Superintend-
ent Albright of Yellowstone park.
Word of this very gratifying devel-
opment which will mean much to
Blackfoot and this entire section of
the state was brought to the mem
bers of the Blackfoot Rotary club
at its meeting Tuesday by J. M. Har-
tong, chairman Of the road commit
tee of the club. Mr.. Hartong had
his information from a conversation
with Mr.. Bottolfsen whom he met
on the train on his way home from
the conference.
A meeting for further discussion
anu u0tClOPu10nI VI PAdAo LII OnAAJ
commencement of work ON a road
into the Craters of the Moon will
be held at Arco on August 10 at
which time superintendent Albright
will be present as will Director Hall
and, II possible, Director Mather.
1t is stated that Director Mather
is keenly interested In the further
development of the Craters of the
Moon as one of the great scenic
wonders and attractions of Ameri-
ca, his interest In the matter hav-
ing been stimulated by the insistent
and persistent work of Congressman
Addison T.. Smith, who was largely
instrumental In securing the execu-
tive order from President Coolidge
which sets aside the Craters OF the
Moon as a national monument.

co in Bingham county will be opened
at the office of the district engineer
at Pocatello at o'clock August 16.
Conditions under which proposals

Idaho Republican. The advertise
ment for bids specifies that the work
is to be rushed with all speed pos
sible consistent with good construc-
ton in order to complete the high
way at the earliest possible date.
And to obtain this result the en-
gineer will insist that all bidders be
provided with complete and proper
ly designed equipment and an ef-
fective organization for carrying on
the work without unnecessary delays.

The Canyon of Blue Lakes opens
out into the main canyon of Snake
River three miles below Shoshone
falls and Twin Falls is several miles
above the Shoshone falls. The city
of Twin Falls is about three miles
south of Blue Lakes. The Perrine
home is where the small canyon
opens into the larger one, and Is hid
den by poplar trees and orchard. A
strip OF farming land extends up the
river short distance and steel
bridge spans the river connecting
with the rest of the Perrine farm
situated on the south side. The
slope on the south side extends from
the river bank something like
quarter of mile up to the base OF
grim lava cliffs. Strips and patches
of the slope are in grain and or

dugway that is cut out of the side OF
the cliffs leading to the toll gate at

Seldom have such preparations
been made in any city in Idaho for a
convention as are now in progress

can Legion to be held in this city

Live Stock Exposition
Building to be Rebuilt

The people of the northwest were
dismayed Wednesday afternoon, July
23, when they heard of the disaster
which had overtaken the great Pa
cific International Live Stock Ex-
position Its magnificent building
in North Portland, Oregon, caught
fire from burning single mill and
in half hour was reduced to ashes.
This splendid plant, the largest
and most conveniently arranged and
equipped structure of it's kind in the
world, covered over 10 acres of land.
1t cost approximately $500, 900. How
ever, 1t was insured for about $3.50,
900, and General Manager o. M.
Plummer states positively that the
Exposition will be held November 1
to 8, inclusive, without fail, and that
already assurances are coming from
every quarter of the compass of aid
and entries of livestock. He says:
1.-THE exposition will be bigger and
better than ever. Naturally, all our
plans have not been completed, but
we expect to rebuild and work will
be commenced at once. The Pacific
International Live Stock Exposition
is so solidly founded and so import
ant an institution that even great
blow such as this cannot halt its
growth and progress"
The new building which will take
the place of the one just destroyed
will follow the same plan. SO admir-
able did the plan prove to be. The
amphitheatre probably will be made
somewhat larger, but the general
construction will be the same az be-
fore. 1t seems that 1t cannot be
bettered.

Bancroft District to
Buy Reservoir Shares

D. w. Davis, formerly governor
Of Idaho, and now director of f.
nance of the United States bureau
of reclamation, was in Salt Lake on
Tuesday on his return to Denver,
to which offices he is at present as
signed. According to story in the
Salt Lake Tribune, Governor Davis
met DR.. Elwood Mead, commissioner
of the bureau, at Pocatello, when
the latter was going west, and with
him visited reclamation projects of
the bureau in Idaho and Oregon. In
Salt Lake Davis had a conference
with w. o. Greer, who is president
of the Empire Irrigation district,
near Bancroft. Idaho. The district
has arranged to purchase water in
the American Falls reservoir, which
will be used on Fort Hall project
lands, by an exchange with the
Blackfoot reservoir for water now
supplying the Fort Hall lands. The
district can use the Blackfoot water
on its own lands.
The discussion Tuesday had to do
with the sale of bonds for the pur-
chase of the American Falls project
water. The court recently has ap-
proved the assessment of benefits,
and the bonds will now go before
valuation board in Idaho for in
dorsement and approval. This board
is made up of the state commits
sioner Of reclamation, the state bank
commissioner and the attorney gen.
eral.

OTTO MAS TO BE
new MANAGER OF
HOTEL HAMMOCK
Blackfoot Man Named to
Take Charge of Hotel
at Pocatello

Otto R. Mas, for more than six
years the manager of the Eccles ho-
tel at Blackfoot, was this afternoon
selected by unanimous vote of the
directors of the Bannock hotel at Po-
catelIo to succeed ]. E. Schubert as
manager of that hotel. Mr.. Schu-
bert, who has established an envi-
able reputation as a hotel man DUR
ing his two years In Pocatello as
head of the Bannock, Is leaving
Sunday to become manager of the
new fourteen-story Hotel Claridge
at st. Louis.
The selection of Mr.. Mas to take
charge of the Bannock, which is not
only the leading hotel of Pocatello,
but one of the most favorably known
in the inter-mountain country, will
meet with general satisfaction
among the travelling public with
whom Mr.. Mas enjoys wide and
favorable acquaintance.
Six years ago last month Mr.. Mas
was transferred from the Eccles ho-
tel at Rexburg to the house operated
in Blackfoot by the same company.
Prior to going with the Eccles COM
pany, he had been for three years
with the Hotel Eleanore at Idaho
Falls and before that had had wide
experience in the hotel business In
leading hotels in Montana and Me-
braska.
Announcement of this advance
ment in the business career Of Mr..
Mas will be gratifying to his busi-
ness associates in Blackfoot where
he has taken an active interest In
all civic undertakings. He Is past
exalted ruler of Blackfo& Lodge No.
1915 B. P. o. Elks and was an in
fluential factor in securing the in
stitution of subordinate lodge In
this city. He was vice-president OF
the Blackfoot chamber of commerce
under the presidency of the late e.
M. Kennedy and was later president
of the chamber. He is a member
of the Blackfoot Rotary club and
was one of the first members elect
ed after the organization of that
Eccles, Mrs. Mas has also devoted
much energy and her cooperation has
had no small part in the success that
has attended their work in Black
foot.
Mr.. Mas expects to take charge
of the Bannock as soon as the Eccles
company can arrange to relieve him
here and will probably take up his
new duties by August 10 as the early
departure of the present manager
Of the Bannock necessitates an Inn
mediate change.

idea about poetry, but he did honest
work at a salary that everyone

never been free from dust since he
worked on the canal, but with his
last breath he will say: Don't
