Mr.. Witteman was here Last fall, and

wanted at the time, hew as so favor
ably impressed that he left feeling
confident that what he wantedw as
to be had here. He has several farms

RECEIVES INCREASE in SALARY
Appreciation Shown Valuable Servi-
ces Of Prof. w. D. Vincent by
The City School Board

When D. F. Arthur, two years ago,
said that it the school board would
employ w. D. Vincent, of Washing
ton. Kansas, as superintendent of the
public schools, Blackfoot would have
a systematic school system, the
writer hardly appreciated just what il
meant, and it is not at all probable
that the board. after passing through
what they had, thought that there
were aI-y good superintendent. But
the human flesh is very apt to err,
and if the trustees thought the stock
had run out, they erred with large
E, for after w. D. Vincent was here
a month the Evans Nc Comb Ungst re.
gime was only an ugly dream to
the parents of the pupils, and gradu-
ably the wisGey-washey superintendent
cy that had held sway in former
years vanished, and the schools of
BlackfoCt were systematized. Prof
Vincent was and is superintendent
and the board showed it's apprecia-
ton of that gentleman services in
that capacity by giving HIM an in
crease in salary at a recent meeting.
Prof. Vincent HIS had very desirable
positions offered him, but liking
Blsckfoot, he accepted the additional
amount emd will remain here, and
BlaclEoot will not have to worry
about her children for some time to
come. Two years ago the high school
OF Blackfoot YVES a joke. Today it
ranks among the highest i'm point of
efficiency in the state, and the pres

TWINS WE'D TWINS;
COURTSHIP By MAIL

Kansas City, Mo.-Lorando and

Moore of san Marios, Texas, twin sis
ters, ended a romantic courtship yes
terday morning, when double we'd
ding was celebrated at the home of
the brides.
The two happy couples arrived in
Kansas City today on their honey
moon journey to Adrian, Mo. where
Lorendo and Leland have a general
store.
Upon our arrival at San Marios," "
said Lorando today, 1--WE met the
young women who are now our wives.
We had been corresponding with them
and it was by intuition that we knew
train.
"As soon as gazed upon the two,
STEPPED up to Alta, who is now my
wife, and said: We'll. Alta, have ar
rived at last She knew me. Leland
and Alma also knew each other"
The bridegrooms will be 23 years
of age their next birthday. The brides
will be 81.
Five years ago they decided that
they would not marry until their hus-
bands were twins. and 1t was decided
that they would all live together The
husbands also had vowed that they
would marry only twins. and that
they should always live together. The
brothers look exactly alike as do the
sisters. The husbands dress exactly
alike. so do the wives.
You ought to see our bungalow"
one of The husbands-the reporter
was not certain which-said. TT is
built in two apartments, and both
apartments are absolutely alike. The
wallpaper, the table linen, the silver
and furniture are identical"
You see, we won't be separated far
after all" said the other.

WILL BUSINESS men
SHARE IN new Rates?
POWER " LIGHT co.
REDUCE RATES ELSEWHERE
Reduction Is to BE ut WalIa Walla-
Committee from Local Commercial
Club VIII Investigate situation.

Local business men are now asking
if Pendeton Is to share IN the rate
reductions granted by the Pacific
Power & Light company at Walla
Walla and Yakima and a commercial
club committee is to investigate. A
reduction in the rates on meters has
been granted at Yakima asa result
of agitation for a municipal light
plant.
The following story of the reductions
to be made at Walla Walla is from
Walla Walla paper:
When the Walla Walla patrons OF
the Pacific Power & Light company
present themselves at the company's
local offices for the purpose OF set
Ting their bills the first of the COM
ing month they will find their ac-
counts made out under the new rates
recently announced by the company.
which means a saving of nearly 25
per cent to both resident and COM
mercial customers
Not only does the new rate provide
for a big reduction in the rate for
each kilowatt hour, but II further pro-
vdes for a 10 per cent discount on
all bills paid on or before the 10th
day of the month instead OF two per
cent, as has been allowed in the past.
Under the new rate the residential
meter rate with connected lighting
load OF one kilowatt or less, first 80
kilowatt hours. Is 12 cents per kilo-
watt hour and all in excess of 80
kilowatt hours per month. eight cents
per ilowatt hour.
The actual reduction, however.
can be better shown by illustration.
For example:
A residence, where the lighting
bill Is $50 a month on the old rate.
is figured as follows:
First 90 klowatt hours or less, at
IS cents per kilowatt hour. So; next
20 to 80 kilowatt hours, at IA cents
per kilowatt hour, $40: next 20 to 40
kilowatt hours at 13 cents. s1.30: to-
tai $5.70; less per cent discount il
paid on or before the 10th Of the
month. $3.50.
Under the new rate the bill will be
figured thusly: First 80 kilowatt
IourS per HhoHtl, at IL Genus, So'oO'
next 10 kilowatt hours per month. at
cents, so cents $40; deducting 10
per cent discount If paid on or before
the tenth Of the month, the bill would
be 1896. or a reduction of over 25
per cent
Figuring on the same basis where
the residence bill runs $2.55 n month
with per cent discount for prompt
payment of bill, would amount to
$3.50, but under the new rate with
the same kilowatt hour consumption
per month. the bill would amount TO
| s2.04 and with the 10 per cent dis
count, would be reduced to sl.S5.
In other words, one can have %
per cent more light without increas-
| ing his light bills.

STUDY THE LABOR MOVEMENT.

1t is seldom that the average citizen,
unless he be a member of labor union,
comes in direct contact with the organ.
lied labor movement. He gives no par
ticular study to it and knows but little
about it. Occasionally he is drawn into
controversy with some union or some
union individual over a job of work or
over his business methods of dealing
with labor and invariably he energies
preiudiced against the movement. Nor
does the system of misrepresentation
and distortion or what is more criminal
still, silence, of great portion of the
daily press toward unionism, help to
clear away the fog of misunderstanding
that clouds his brain. The mistakes of
unionism are put prominently to the
fore and the outsider if he considers the
matter at all considers the failings of
unionists as symptoms of a movement
that must be fundamentally wrong. He
asks "can a good tree bring forth evil
fruit" which is very good question
with which to punctuate an academic
discussion but which flies wide of the
mark as real argument. Nothing exists
without cause and there is a real cause
for the existence of unionism if one will
use n reasonable amount of intelligence
in searching for it. The errors and
orieyous mistakes committed occasional
ly by unions do not wipe out the cause
for their existence. Human misery is
the fundamental cause Of organization
on The industrial field and as long as
we have The former we must have the
latter. Mistakes are committed because
men are not born again when they take
an obligation before the union altar.
They enter the union with exactly the
same human frailties they had before.
He who errs not, lives not. We try by
education and discipline to reduce the
number Of mistakes and errors and year
by year the labor movement moves up to
a higher plane If outsiders would study
the labor movement in the light of its
expressed aims and what it has accomp
]ishel in bringing comfort and material
blessings into the lives of the world
toilers rather than by what it has failed
to do, the mistakes it has made the
good would be foun dto have completely
outweighed the bad.
