"stockadev was established under the
auspices OF the So called American

presses the hope that the News Will,
state its opinion 'of the graft per-

county by the payment to a

the fornality of contract being en-

We do not see how that can have
any bearing upon the question as to
whether so-called S,tAmerican" Office

bune--and therefore decline to enter
upon u discussion of 1t in this CON

But the question at present is wheth-
er american" party officials have
permitted the erection OF that irlsttu-
ton in this City against the protests
OF the citizens, against the law, and in
fragrant violation of the decent senti-
nent of this community. That is what
the people are concerned about Just
now.
The City is rapidly FILLING up with
denizens Of theSunderworld. horse rae
ers, and gamblers--at1 bent upon fieec-
Ing tho people to the material injury
of every kind of legitimate business.
Who Is responsible? We are informed
| that gambling is being carried on to
an extent never before known in the
History of the City, In rooms connected
with saloons, and tina; the police have
| orders not to close the dens. II this
is true we must draw the conclusion
| that party bosses are again concentrat-

| to carry The City at the next cleo ton.
And 1t will be remembered that the
Tribune years. ago announced, edltori-
ally, its opinion that saloons and
brothels. gambling dens included,

| freedom than the press, And we have
no reason to- bel ieue that our contem-

The meeting was then thrown open to
organization. Pres Frank Cotterill, Of
the Seattle Central Council was intro
duced and explained in detail the work
ngs of the new system as it had come
under his observation in other cities.
He told of the increased membership re
sulting from the closer affiHtion. How
the organization of crafts of similar oc-
equations into sections gives them a
clearer understanding of craft conditions
and enables them to strengthen the pos
ition of any affiliated craft threatened
with trouble. He showed how this plan
would act as Il check ON radical action
by any union as any person or firm to
be placed unfair must run the gauntlet
of the craft affected, then of the sec
tion. and finally of the whole Central
Body.
Mr.. Cotterill spoke at some length and
answered many questions of delegates.
He was listened to with close attention
by the members of the Trades Council
and Building Trades Council and was
rendered a vote of thanks for his as-
sistance given to organized labor in this

terwards, and the only advantage
they see is that during the lull they
can go fishing.
Others have observed that there Is
little to be gained by getting IN
boom and a great influx of new paO-
pie to remain permanently, because 1t
brings more competitors to divide the
business with them, and, there is the
further disadvantage that the boom
town always catches the fellows from
other places who are going broke
and they ship their goods N To- close
them out at reduced prices while the
boom is on, and the bankrupt stocks
from far and near are put on the local
market to the detriment of the local
merchants who spent good money to
bring on the boom times. These men
claim that the only way they can hold
their own during such changes Is to
get out and buy land and reap as
much benefit as they can In that way
while the whole country Is rising in
values. fa #
At the close Of the discussions 1t
was decided that the finance commit
tee should consist of several parts as
follows: A central board consisting
of T. r. Jones, F. w. Murphy, Mayor
r. N. West, r. G. Parkinson, and
Harry Gesas, who should solicit funds
from the business men of Blackfoot,

OF all the tribes of the northwest

listened to the teachers of the white
missionaries. the Nez Perces OF north :,
ern Idaho were probably the most
progressive and consistent in adopt

True they lost their heads in lS46
and massacred Marcus Whitman and
others. but many circumstances COM
bined to aggrayate them, their first
great disappointment being the loss
OF big band Of horses sent east to
market in care Of Rev. Spaulding and
five Indian boys. They were attack

in lS42 while on their way to the
markets with the stock, and Spauld-i

to their senses and have been noted
for piety and honesty.

a NEW PROJECT COMING

Arrangements have been under
way for several months to open up
for reclamation and settlement. q vast
tract Of the Snake river plains lying
directly north OF Blackfoot, on the
north side OF the lava beds, ami
reaching nearly to the foot Of the
Bitter Root mountains. A large part
of Ii lies just east Of the sinks Or
Birch creek and will be on the line OF
the proposed railroad that people here
expect will be built from some point
on the Mackay branch, probably Ger
no Grande or Powell, north to Birch
Creek and Salmon City.
Blackfoot has never missed :
chance to get another railroad, and
1t is likely that another chance Will
present itself within year or two
to make this large tract tributary to

THE CELEBRATION ORGANIZED
Working Forces Named, and Plans
Taking Form For the Dia-
mond Jubilee.

On Tuesday evening there was a
meeting of the committee on general
arrangements to appoint sub-commit-
tees for taking up some of the details
of the coming celebration, and q doz-
en- we're made up Of sixty or seventy
people It was thought best to sub
NIT the whole list to meeting of the
Commercial club to receive such al
terations as the combined judgment
OF that body might suggest, and this
was done at meeting held on We'd
nesday evening.
iii In both meetings considerable time
was devoted to discussion OF the
manner Of raising funds by the fin
ance committee, and In both instances
the conclusions reached we're the
same. It was generally conceded that
1t will require from two thousand to
three thousand dollars to cover the
expense, and that people who have
not given enough attention to the
matter to appreciate the magnitude
OF the celebration and the results It
will bring, will hesitate about sub
Scribing the large individual sums
that will be needed to make the sum
total.
Briefly stated, the ideas that were
advanced and pretty generally accep-
ted as correct logic In the case are
these:
The Fourth of July celebrations
that have been held here in years
gone by have been matters OF sport
and recreation in connection with
patriotic Impulse. IT anybody re-
ceiye financial benefits from them 1t
was those who we're in business who
would sell goods for the occasion that
would not be purchased anyway dur
ing the season If the celebration we're
not held. Most Of the expense of such
celebrations should be paid by people
receiving the benefits, and careful OBJ
servations on this matter have shown
that many generous business men
have been subscribing to the funds
who received little or no returns from
it. and regarded it in the light Of a
donation to the public from which
nothing was expected.
Town people who are not in bust
ness knew little of where the money
came from to give them big day OF
fun, and country people generally
dismissed the subject with the sup
position that the business men made
mint of money out of it and there
fore could afford to keep putting uI
the money year after year.
The same principle applies to the
fair, except that the business men are
4 put to lot of extra expense, do q
lot of extra work, and keep theil
stores closed each afternoon, thus
increasing their expenses and decreas
ing the income. The benefits derived
from the fair from year to year have
come to the owners Of lands more
than any others, as the steady ad

smarting under the annual leVy~o
work and money to carry on fair
that brings greatest benefits to peo-
| Pile who feel little or no responsible
|ity and do little or nothing to keep
| it up. Only small percentage of
those owning lands in the country
have aided in making the annual ex-
hibits, and some have done 1t with
the idea that they were being wrulsl
in to help another class rather <f6an
themselves. Lack of a correct Id
standing of these matters ha&1f69eg
extent kept country peoples and ~ 3
ness men from getting together In the
work.
In the case Of the Diamond Jubilee
it is not a local matter to benefit
Blackfoot, nor Blackfoot and vicinity,
but all Idaho. The country within
twenty or thirty miles of Blackfoot
will receive the greatest benefits, and
all the people living and owning prop
erty within that radius should join
forces to make the celebration q sue
cess. .sss
It is not expected that anybody will
receive immediate returns in cash,
except perhaps, the hotels, saloons,
livery barns, soda fountains, bakeries
and those who supply the immediate
physical needs Of the visitors. 1t is
expected that the substantial benefits
will accrue through investments
made In property here as result OF
| the visit to the place. Such invest
ments may be made week, q month
or year after the celebration, but
lit will bring many people here, and
their observations will Iead them to
come again or to remain after the
Jubilee, to invest In farm lands or
city property or to go into business
or launch enterprises that have been
Overlooked.
This will put more money into the
hands OF all classes including the man
who makes out the deed for the prop
erty, the man who makes the abstract
Of title, the recorder, the surveyor
who establishes the property lines,
the hotel that keeps the investor
while he is doing this; the dray men
who hauls his trunk; the stockman
who sells him team; the dealer who
sells him his outfit; the lumber deal
Ter who furnishes his building mater
ials; the laborer who hauls 1t to his
place or digs his cellar; the carpenter
the mason, the painter, the paper
hanger, who makes his house; the
farmer who sells him COW and hay
to feed her; the dressmaker, the
music teacher, the milliner and all
4 Others who live in the locality and
do any kind Of work or business. Al
SO the county and city treasury re-
ceive some of his money through tax
4 alton, and the school district he lives
in receives some benefits from add
ling him to the community.
| Some of the business men say they
do. not sell any more goods in the
course of the season by reason Of the
celebration, that IT simply means q
little rush of business before the eel
