Municipal Brevitie.,

Replying to request from C. A. Langley,
president Of the woodburn Citizens Association,
for the establishment Of public scale at Wood
bum and the appointment OF John Kelly as
weighmaster, the Commissioners yesterday stated
that they have no right to accept a scale as
gift, and that there are no funds hand for

Shoe Council Has Acted
on Application.

After August Is every shoe that goes
out OF the big factory Of r. B. Grover &
Co. will bear the Official stamp Of the Boot
and Shoe Workers International Union
This is a matter that is Of great interest
tc both the trades unions Of the country
and the shoe manufacturers as well. The
firm have been considering this step for
some time. and have at last made their ap-
plication and have had It accepted.
President John F. Tobin and Secretary
H. NJ. Eaton, of the Boot and Shoe Work
ers' Union, have been in Brockton en-
cheering the final steps in the matter. At
a meeting of the joint shoe council held
in Cutters Hall the application of the
Emerson shoe manufacturers came before
it for consideration. 1t was voted TO ac-
cept the application and the stamp will be
granted them.
This means that the firm will employ
only workmen belonging to unions which
are affiliated with the Boot and Shoe
Workers Union and that the factory will
be unionized throughout. Steps in this
direction will be taken at once.
This movement is received with a great
deal Of satisfaction by the union men, as
they feel that 1t is bound to greatly
strengthen unionism in the city. and that,
further than this. 1t will be striking ex-
ample for the shoe manufacturers in gen.
eral to follow. On the other hand, they
believe that 1t will prove a great benefit
to the firm, as 1t is the only one making
shoe Of the finest quality that can be pur-
chased freely by the trades unionists of
the country. Many Of the unions in other
trades. particularly the cigarmakers, are
bound to buy only union made goods.
Such unions. it is said, have been waiting
for chance to get shoes Of this calibre
and still abide by the tenets of their
unions. The Emerson shoe store at 9O7
Pennsylvania Avenue northwest is one of
the handsomest and most prosperous re-
tail establishments in Washington.

BUILDING UP A TOWN.
A Progressive Idnhoan's idea of the
Proper Method.

Mr. Fred K. Reed, president of the
Chamber Of Commerce of Boise City,
Ida. is evidently the right man in the
right place. He believes that if the
city is to grow every resident must
give his help toward that end. Recent
ly he issued the following appeal to
his townsmen:
AS president of the Chamber of
Commerce let me say have never in
all my travels known of so favorable
conditions for all round prosperity for
one and all as exist right here. Eternal
vigilance is the price Of liberty, and to
be or not to be is the question. There
comes a time when soft talk, winning
smiles and the grand jolly all lose their
flavor. Hard, cold facts present them.
selves and, stripped Of everything but
cold business, stand naked before us.
Let us either go forth like Americans
and do valiant battle or relcgate our
selves to the scrap pile of history and
label ourselves has beens.
The Chamber of Commerce should
have 200 more members. Let every
man. woman and child in Boise City
say Boise City is going to have $4,000
people in three years; that railroads
are to be built, mines opened, a sugar
beet factory erected, canncry and
creamery started. Every one Of the
aforesaid will be here sooner or later,
for the conditions demand them; only
let us quicken the pace by talking

Postoffice improvements.

We are glad to report that IN short
time there is to be a very decided change
in our post office. The present arrange
ments have, for some time, fallen tar
short of meeting the requirements OF our
town, and it will be a great satisfaction
to everyone to have postothce up to
date in all respects, with modern boxes
and plenty of them, and so arranged as
to increase the room in front OF the case
ABOUT 50 per cent thereby enabling
postmaster Clark and his clerks to give
the patrons Of the office much better
service than heretofore. One very de-
sirable feature of the new arrangement
will be that the lock and call boxes are
TO be entirely separate. In II few days
there will be plans of both cases ready
for inspection at the postotlicr, to enable
all who wish to select boxes i'll the new
