Making Soil Tests to
Destroy Blight Cause

For the purpose of making inves-
LEGATIONS of soil conditions with a
view to determine the cause for the
appearance of a certain species of
blight in some varieties of plant life
and for the appearance of yellow dis
celebration of other varieties, es-
pecially noticeable in Strawberries
and raspberries, County Agent Walt
er Thomas secured the assistance of
Prof. H. P. Magnuson, soil expert
from the agricultural college of the
University of Idaho, and last week
they conducted a survey of condi-
tions in several parts of Bingham
county. Samples of soil taken from
several sections where the unfavor-
a lie condition is most pronounced
will be taken to the university for
laboratory tests. Where the dam
age is found to be caused by insects,
spraying of course may be resorted
to in the destruction OF the pests
but If the fundamental cause is found
in the composition of the soil then
of course it will have to be built up
in the element lacking by fertiliza
ton.
Reports on the results of the soil
experts Investigations will be for
warded to the county agent as soon
as completed and will be published
in this paper at later date.

WANTS AN ARGUMENT.

The secretary of the Blackfoot
chamber of commerce is looking for
arguments, not just any kind of an
argument, but those which contain
logical reasons why the state seed
show should this year be held at
Blackfoot will be gratefully received.
Miss Grace Peck, the secretary OF
the Blackfoot club, is preparing
brief for submission to the state seed
board, which body selects the place
for holding the seed show, in which
will be incorporated facts and argu-
ments which would indicate Black
foot to be the most logical place for
holding the show. Suggestions
along this line should be sent to the
secretary of the Blackfoot chamber
of commerce before August 1.

second of July, 1904, and the first

the town.
The paper told of the progress of
the erection of the sugar factory,
the local militia training at Camp
Maneuver, WASH, building school
house at Arco and new telephone
line to Porterville, now called Rose.
Some of the advertisers of that week
were: w. F. Boxwell & Son; Orion

Calls Name Changers Pests

Under the heading Lost River
Lyrics" Charles Rider, writing in
the Arco Advert thus pays his re-
spects to those who would abolish
the time-honored name of the Snake:
of 1 had nothing else to do and
needed relaxation, And thought my
brain would like to take its annu-
al vacation, I'd join some fool So
ciety whose only bid for fame, Is
picking on established things to try
and change their name, Some lofty
snow-clad mountain peak along
known to pioneers, By some befit-
ting name that had been hallowed
by the years, Would be re-christen-
ed by our club and changed as
quick as scat,-Mt Percival or some
thing as appropriate as that. Or
some majestic river rolling solemn
to the sea, Recorded by geographers
at least century. Might claim our
brief attention, we'd decide without
dispute, to take and call 1t Pihle
River-wouldn't that be cute? A
while ago q wight whose mind was
hearing pretty bells, Decided that we
ought to call Lost River something
else, Old timers voted him nut
almost by reclamation, And called
the river by its old and honored APP
pellation. And now another pest
appears to plague the neighborhood,
Some club that fears Snake Rivers
name is somehow not so good. They
say the name gives rise to several
dozen sad mistakes. New settlers
may be apt to think there's moth
ing here but snakes, Now If there's
any class of people in the world so
dumb, Thank goodness we have

CLAIMS RATTLERS
INFESTED VALLEYS
IN EARLY PERIOD
Pioneer Says Thousand
Pounds of Snake was
Lifted by Blast

Adding his contribution to the
discussion occasioned by the proposal
to change Barzilla w. Clark, former
mayor of Idaho Falls declares that
instead of being concerned with the
effect the names on IdahO's rivers,
mountains and lakes may have upon
the sensitive ears and feelings OF
fasteners the people OF the state
should have the courage of the hardy
pioneers who settled the state and
retain the name they applied to IDA
hos great river. Mr.. Clark in his
letter calls attention to an objection
recently advanced that the name re-
minds one of reptiles and says:
81 recently talked with an old
prospector who had lived the greater
part of his life in Idaho, and had not
seen a railroad for 81 years. Our
talk turned to the name Snake river,
and his story was like many others
I have heard. He remembered that
in the eastern and middle states 1t
was known as the Lewis river; but as
he got nearer to it, other travellers
warned him to "look out for the
snakes" when he reached that river
He says it was most appropriately
named Snake river because 1t was
crooked like a snake, treacherous
like a snake and flowed through a
land of snakes The region from
Glenns Ferry to Ross Fork was in
tested with. the black diamond, rat
tier. a particularly venOmous rep
tile: then on north to Henry's lake
they were lighter colored and were
called diamond rattlers. Indians
were not regarded as nearly so
great a peril on the southern Idaho
trails as were these snakes. one
old prospector estimates that 20 per
cent of the deaths along these trails
were due to snake bites; and many
a prospector was left afoot when
an unwary pack mule was bitten.
Favorite remedies were gunpowder,
whiskey, turpentine or indigo.
Even when the old o. R. & N. rail-
road was being built, in single BLAST
I'm a ledge of rock near Glenns Fer
nv a nest of black diamond rattlers
was destroyed which contained at
least 1000 pounds of snakes. The
coming of great flocks of sheep onto
these ranges have practically exter-
minated the snakes, but the deer and
antelope of early days were not equal
to it.
One hundred years ago, Idaho was
considered one of the worthless parts
of the Louisiana Purchase, and was
avoided when possible. How could
those early travellers imagine the
present Idaho? Fifty years hence,
Snake river will have all its flood |
waters stored, and will be tame,
peaceable stream with an even flow.
But to help preserve an interest in
our past history let us retain this
name Of our great river.
This mania for pretty names is not
new-see how Eagle Rock was
changed to Idaho Falls, name
which had no significance at the
time, but was coined to catch the
ear of eastern investors. It's about
time to forget the delicate ears OF
fasteners who can't stand wild
words, to keep our own names and
try to hive the courage of our hardy
pioneers"
