It put out a bonfire in a little less than no time, as the boys say, and they believe it will do as well at a real fire. Virgil R. Smith, clerk at Cook's drug store, has been confined to his bed for several days with rheumatism, not a pleasant disease by any means. Dr. Whitlock thinks that Fritz Win zeler, who has been laid up with an abscess on the brain with little hope of recovery, is now improving and has a. chance of getting well. The many friends of .Samuel Schrenk will be glad to'le'arnTinat he is so far improved that he expects to leave the house and get down town in a few days more. He has had a long seige.

The purpose of the meeting was to consider bids for the rodeo horses and cattle, the clown and other features. These bids were submitted by Grant Brothers, Everett Colburn, Rich Rodeo and Livestock Co. and J. R. Riley. After consideration of the bids and the discussion of other features that are in common with this committee ,it was decided by them that before accepting any of the bids, fairs and rodeos at which each of them are to perform would be visited for the purpose of seeing them do their stuff. This plan, which i3 considered a very wise one", will unquestionably be the means of bringing the rodeos above named the finest shows obtainable. This plan also given the people who are furnishing the rodeo equipment an opportunity to greatly reduce the cost of the performance. In fact it is es timated that the cost of producing shows similar to the ones that have been put on at the Box Elder County Fair and Rodeo and which, by the way, have been the finest in the West will be cut in half, or better. Mr. Holmgren reports a fine spirit of cooperation and helpfulness in their efforts so far in preparation for the coming fair. The chairman also states that from observation already made the. competition in riders will be even greater than last year as the prizes offered are to remain about the same and are attractive enough to draw the best and plenty of them. From an early preview of fair .arrangements and plans that are maturing and that are in the making points to a very successful fair and rodeo. The Box Elder County Fair and Rodeo has gained such a reputation that all eyes are turned this way when the season approaches for the big show and early reservations are the rule. It is hoped by the fair and rodeo officials that every person will begin to plan and prepare exhibits in what ever line they can enter now. If this is done a successful fair is as ' j?" L. S.

Foreigners One Third TREMONTON AND Of Utah Population VICINITY TO BE d More than of the total population of Utah consists of foreign white stock, according to a recent release of the Department of Commerce covering the 1930 population census. Of the 117,485 inhabitants of the State classified as foreign white stock, 2 are foreign born whites, while the others are native of foreign or mixed parentage. One of the significant disclosures in the 1930 census in the decrease of 12,683 in the number of foreign born whites residing in the State, as compared with 1920. A reduction in the number of Utah immigrants from Eng lanr, Denmark, and Sweden, accounted for more than 50 per cent of this decrease. Germany, the Netherlands, and Yugoslavia, on the other hand, had sent more immigrants to the State than in 1920. England, with 59, 177, Denmark, 24,895, Sweden, 15,838, and Germany 12,338 are the leading countries of origin of the total stock residing in the State. one-thir- POTATO DISTRICT i s 43,-77- genial manager of the J.

Co. was on Several Hundred Acres Russets and Bliss Now Planted The last of the seven cars of po tato seed, which has been shipped into this vicinity, under contract with the United Acceptance Corporation, of Los Angeles, has been distributed and most of the seed planted. The seed is of russet variety, shipped from Northern Idaho and is sufficient to plant approximately 300 acres, which have been contracted by this company, who agrees to purchase back 75 sacks of U. S. No. l's, per acre at 90 cents per hundred . The balance is to be sold by the company on commission. The above acreage, when added to the already heavy acreage in the valley of other varieties of potatoes will put Tremonton vicinity in the lime light as a potato growing district. This company was induced to come into this territory through the efforts of O. L. Brough, president of the North Box Elder County Farm Bureau and County Agent Robert H. Stewart. Mr. Stewart gives it as his opinion that the seed shipped in by this company is some of the finest that it has been his privilege to inspect and expects good yields from the same.

O. Williams, conductor; A. E. Barker, yardmaster and W. H. Post, locomotive engineer, in the interest of railroads and their employees. In presenting their side of the matter Relating to present competition they are obliged to meet, they point out that rail carriers are strictly regulated by the Interstate Commerce Com mission and various State Utilities Commissions. They build and maintain their own roadway. They cannot choose whom they will serve, or discriminate various kinds of commodities offered them for transportation. They must serve any one, and transport anything that can be lawfully transported. They are heavily taxed, and part of these taxes used for the construction and maintainance of. highways used by their competitors." Like the farmer, they pay taxes on gasoline purchased and never used on .highways. They must use safety appliances prescribed by the Interstate ComMust maintain merce, Commission. certain working standards and conditions. They cannot vary from the rates approved by rate making bodies. They must operate trains, and maintain stations, when such trains and stations do not pay the cost of operation, because it is to the public interest. They cannot, as their competitors do, bid for competitive business by making any reductions or concessions that the regulative bodies do not approve. On account of the decrease in volume of business handled, and a corresponding decrease in employees, most railroad men are middle aged, as the younger men have been cut off, and, nonewjrten are being hired, closing an avenue of endeavor for the young man. The railroads do not ask for of their competitors but for their regulation, so that the field will be open on even terms to all They do not ask that privately owned trucks, used by their owners in their own business, taxi cabs, or. school busses be placed under restrictions, but do ask that bus lines, all trucks used as common carriers and for hire, . - to-da- Baby Born at Home of Mr. and Mrs. O.P.Bates Utah-Idah- ix 0 tri-fa- ir Bear River High School Annual Worthy Edition are to have electric lights.

Tremonton Teams Score Three Week End Wins The Rough Riders beat Malad in a thrilling game in the Idaho city by a 2 to 3 score. The team was in charge of assistant manager, Jim Manning, and to a man they worked for him in professional style. Rex Hunsaker let the Dragons down with seven scattered hits. R.

This was not a league game, only for practice. Evan Green, another kid pitcher, hurled great ball for the winners. Much of the success of these young players goes to catcher Londy Harris. Harris knows the game and handles his pitchers in great style. Randall again played whirlwind ball for his team at short. Wilkinson and Morgan both showed unusual form in the Dewey game.

Brough, president of the North" Box Elder County Farm Bureau, met with county and state officials in Brig ham City, Wednesday, for the pur- -, pose of determining what plan and help are to be expected from the state and county in the fighting of noxious weeds. It has become apparent, says Mr. Brough, to most farmers in the valley that they must get the weeks or the weeds will get them. It is already plenty late to begin the fight on white top, as it is beginning to go to seed now. It is expected that a campaign, in which the state will participate, will be commenced very soon, paying particular attention to white top and morning glory. Stake S. S.
