QUENCHED A GREAT THIRST.

A man who was in from the coun-
try this week taking little rest for
day, stated that he found five
places where he could quench his
thirst with intoxicants, and that at
three of them they boldly solicited
his trade. He said they handle very
good brands of liquor, and he had
a bottle in his pocket that he said
he bought as openly as he would
other merchandise.
His comment on the matter was
that somebody must be getting a
rake off, that some of the dealers in
discussing the situation denied. that
they receive protection or any assur-
ance of protection, and that he saw
no evidence that the public gets any
funds from the business with which
to pay for the street work that is
going on. He thinks Blackfoot is
very good town, he likes the people
and he thinks they are very lenient
to allow the law to be violated so
openly when the statute is so strin-
gent.
AS matter of fact the city govern
ment is paying no attention to the
subject except to leave it alone, and
the county officials say they have
done some work and have seen it al
most nullified higher up. The ex-
ecutive branch of the city govern
ment was elected by small majority
and each of two factions claim Gre
dit, the dry, or church vote, and the
wet or liquor vote. When an attempt
was made to open the town to Sun
day picture shows it was stated ex-
pressly that unless this change was
granted the contemplated building
and improvement would not be done
and the town would lose that much.
The Mayor had the controlling vote
and he prevented the Sunday open
ing. The church people had their
inning at that time and the vets
seem to be having theirs now.
We all noticed that when tho Sun
day opening was defeated the build
went right on, Notwithstanding the
statements to the contrary.

THE SAFETY FIRST MOVEMENT

4 The railroads of the United States
have been endeayoring for so Ions
to meet the demands of the public
for speed, that they have not been
! able to make the service as safe as
1t should be, and a nationwide
movement has been instituted look
ing to Safety First"
Notwithstanding the railroads have
poured out their money like water
for safety appliances as fast as they
were invented and tested, the num-
Der of fatalities keeps increasing at
an alarming rate.
President Harrison in his message
to congress in 1889, stated that the
fatalities among the railroad en-
ployes exceeded those in the stand
ing army, and he began a campaign
by which the car couplings were soon
transformed so that men did not have
10 60 between the cars to connect
hem. At the present time there are
10 many avenues for work for the
prevention of accidents that 1t has
,een taken up as distinct move
nent, Its members holding monthly
meeting to discuss the subject.
The public has been growing un-
lasy about the continued and ever
Increasing sacrifice of life among
passengers, but the high rate among
employees shows that those who oper-
lie the roads are also in the midst
4 danger, for railroad employee is
INJURED every five minutes in the
United States, and every 48 minutes
n employe is killed. A careful
Judy of the causes of accidents
hows that nearly all Of them are
ue to carelessness or violation Of
1les for operating.
So long as the public furnishes the
acruits for operating the roads and
, long as the public is careless in its
wn relation to danger, It is to be
tpected that dire results will ap-
BAR. When somebody is injured, the
dividual suffers most, the road has
financial loss and the family which
part of the public, is the great
loser.
d us accidents to passengers are
reely due to carelessness or neg
ct among employees, the public in
rest in the Safety First" move
emit ia solicited, and this paper will
iblish matter from time to time
recting attention to those things

CHILDREN's MARROW ESCAPE


On Monday afternoon one of w.
A. Younie's employees who was oper-
ating moving machine, placed the
two children Arleen and Wade, aged
about ten and three, on the horses
and the horses soon became frighten-
ed and he lost control of them. Both
children were thrown orr and Arleen
was run over by the cutter bar, but
the driver raised the bar so that it
passed above her little body, barely
striking her and leaving three wounds
where she was struck by knives or
guards. Wade was on the other side
and was only bruised by the fall.

which the public are interested in or
are partly or wholly responsible for
The first meeting of the local en-
ployes of the Oregon Short Line was
held at Pocatello on Monday the 9Th
of August, and our local agent, Mr.
w. L. Young raised an objection to
passenger trains being allowed to
rush into town at such speed as they
have heretofore. An order was made
to reduce the speed at the yard lin
its, and the moment or two lost by
this can be made up on long straight
stretches between stations with little
or no risks, the Safety First" idea
applying to slower speed in the town.
Mr. Young brought to tho attention
of the meeting, the narrowness of
the freight platform at Blackfoot,
giving too little space on which to
move the freight without crowding.
Also that the local crews while
switching do not always warn freight
handlers and dray men before NOV
ing the cars; that children often
hang on to cars while moving and
on the motor car while passing. Part
OF these things can be reached by
orders from the officers of the OPP
Grating department of the road, but
others as will be readily seen, must
originate with the public to be ef-
fective.
The writer has noticed much i'm
provement in the conduct of the pub
lie and especially among the young
people and children at the depot at
train time in the past few years, and
feels encouraged in making further
suggestions.
A constant source of annoyance to
trainmen and to the passengers is the
disposition of so many people to stop
and begin to look about them as soon
as they step off the cars. Their
friends who are there to meet them
move up close to the coach to greet
them and to relieve them of their
baggage, and this packs the space
that should be left open for others
to pass. If those getting off would
walk directly away to a distance of
few yards before stopping, it would
relieve the difficulty.
Those getting on the train are US
lally accompanied by some we'll
meaning friends who follow them to
he car steps and then bid them good
bye, hand them their parcels and
watch to see them climb the steps. s
All this doubles the jam and confus-
on, and frequently a whole party ,
will take up enough time with their I
ldieus to haze gotten on the train {
This increases the jam and confusion,
the ttucks from being NAV
d into position to move the baggage,
md thus the public themselves make
he late train they So universally
Of.
