Eight-Hour Bill Opposed.

John Dolph made a vigorous argument
in opposition to the proposed eiSht-hour
bill.
1T is just another evidence of the ten
dency toward socialism in this country"
said Mr.. Dolph. Making laws for short
cr hours of labor and higher pay, with
out consideration of the service actually
given by the laborers, will ruin this or
any other country. Look at England.
She is controlled today by the labor
unions, and there are hundreds of thou
sands of the unemployed walking the
streets there. Yet not long ago England
controlled the markets of the world, and
there was plenty of work for all.
If the women employed in Washing

will if this eight-hour law goes into ef

women then" asked Mr. Dolph Surely

Richfield Has 5 Trains Daily
Excelenty Assorted Railway Service for Section That
Six Years Ago Had But One Mixed Train Daily
---And Still We're Not Quite Satisfied

Richfield is to have five trains
every day, the service beginning
last Sunday with the daily train on
the Camas Prairie branch.
The Camas Prairie country will
be served by daily mixed train,
carrying passengers and freight. 1t
leaves Shoshone at a. M, reaches
Richfield at $3.50; and then waits
over until the regular Wood River
branch passenger, leaving for Hill
City at 9;35 1t carries all the
traffic of the prairie branch; has
a mail clerk, and takes care of
passenger, freight, mail and express
business. Coming home, it leaves
Hill City at O'Clock, reaches Rich
field at 5:45, and leaves here for
Shoshone at 6;10.
No change has been made in the
regular Wood River service-though
most of this week the up train has
been delayed from one to four hours
by waiting for No. 1S, east-bound

STRAWBERRIES.
They Grow big andIRich and
Red On RichffeId Tract.

Local Strawberries are ripe, the
local market now being supplied fro
Martin Lucich's garden. The ber-
ries are ripe, and fresh, and far
more attractive than so many that
are shipped in from abroad, to be
mishandled during long transit.
1t is constant wonder to the
Recorder, that no more strawberries
are grown here. 1t Is true that
there is no very extensive local mar
ket; that one good market garden
will supply about all that will be
bought here during season. But
a good many times as many could
be used with profit, in the homes
in town and country-homes where
fruit is all too rare a luxury. A
little patch of strawberries two
rods square, well cared for, should
raise enough berries to supply the
average family. They are so easy
to raise. so excellent an article of
food and medicine, that everybody
should have them.

GOOD PLACES TO GO.
To Boise for the Chautauqua and
jerome for the Fourth.

! The Boise Chautauqua, which opened
Wednesday night, is really notewor-
thy event because of the excellence of
the program offered. A very superior
musical program is being given, while
the average quality of the lecturers is
higher than any other similar associa-
tion east or west; there are no mere
''fllers," no killers, no routine
commonplaces, but live, crisp, strong
program made up by masters of thought
from literally all over the world. 1t is
a treat for every one who will attend.
The program runs until and including
the 28th, and special railroad rates are
now in effect, making the cost low.
Bills are up announcing big Fourth
of July celebration at Jerome, July 4
and S. Not many from here have ever
visited Jerome, and it would be worth
some effort to 60 there and see what
wonderful transformation has been
made from the raw sage brush of few
years ago. Jerome and Richfield, be-
ing the two extremes of the county. and
since county division so necessarily in
terested together in business and poll
tics, the Jerome people extend an es-
pecial invitation to the people of Rich

on this holiday occasion.

passenger on the main line, which
has been that late.
The fifth train each day will be
the Wood River freight. which goes
up Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days, and returns Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Saturdays.
While it is gratifying to have
this much more service through the
town. it isn't really as good for
most of the Richfield travel as It
was when the Prairie train came
down at 1885 every other day, and
gave a close connection at Sho-
shone. both east and west. This new
service makes possible no close
connections going east or west,
while 1t takes away the other that
was operative every other day. An
effort was made to have the Prai-
rie train come down from Hill City
in the morning and return In the
evening, but up to the present this
has not ben ordered.

Booze Ads Have No Good Right
In Dry Community.

The Recorder has already this
week refused two lucrative contracts
TO carry liquor advertising. There
isn't anybody needing the money
more than the Recorder needs it;
but the editor can not square his
conscience with working against the
liquor business before election, and
taking it's money to help the busi-
ness after election. It's true, that
the people of this county have said
they wish to have liquor sold pub
licly. But it does not make 1T
any better, any more moral or busi-
ness-like for a community to risk
itself for a little temporary enjoy
ment. And then, too, there is need
cf alcoholics in medicine, in the
arts; and the Recorder editor has
bought them, and helped use them,
for those purposes But that has
nothing to do with the boosting OF
the sale OF intoxicants for bever-
age. The Recorder prefers to con-
tinue to believe. as heretofore, that

counted on having that money, close
to $4,000, in cash when this district
was formed; but it wasn't allowed.
If, however, it could be spent on
this road, which might do Richfield
a little good, this community would
not be altogether the loser, as will
otherwise be the case.

G. H. Horniman, of Dietrich, has
been selected as engineer and superiD-
tendent for the Richfield highway dist
rict. He is now developing farm on
the Dietrich tract, but was with the
engineering force of the Idaho Irriga-
ton Co for four years. and rated as
one of their best field men. He enter
ed at once upon his duties for the high
way commission, and will doubtless be
ready within few weeks to make 4
comprehensive engineering report on
the entire project. Work is to be be-
gun at once on some of the roads near
town; any one who can spare himself
from his irrigating can doubtless find
job on the road right close to home, at
reasonable wages for faithful service.
The Highway board expects to in
vestigate the use of a traction en-
gine for some of the places where
it can be expected to be profitable.
The Idaho Irrigation Co. has a big
tractor out at the dam, which they
uSOQ Ill LII dh III oOlnc lOdQS lndL
have attracted good deal of atten-
tion They hitched it on to one
of the heavy steel Ibeams or sheet
piling left over from the dam, US
ing it as farmer would use
short railroad rail for breaking
sage brush; and the 1200-pound |
steel clears the brush and levels the |
surface wonderfully. In some of |
the new sections, this machine
should work finely Of course, it
can not be adapted to do any CON
siderable part of the road building
on the tract, and it may not be ad
opted at all; but the commission ex-
poets to give it trial where it is
adapted to the work.
Stone culverts are to be adopted
wherever possible, in crossing irri-
cation or waste bitches. The stone
is always to be had close at hand,
and most of the expense will be
for labor, so that the money will
stay on the tract and not go out
side for steel, for freight, for labor
in factories or mills in other states.
1t had been proposed that for some
of the water courses, where a flat
bridge will be necessary to avoid
building and grading too high for
the ordinary stone arch, they may
adopt reinforced concrete style.
Stone walls will be laid up at the
side one OF two or three feet high, Il
whatever is necessary to give prop |
er opening; then steel I-beams will {
be laid on these, and steel-reinforo- s
ed concrete floors will be laid over I
the top This construction will {
give the same water-carrying area s
as a solid stone arch bridge two {
feet higher, which would be SER s
ious obstruction to travel If it had i
to be graded up to on both sides.
1t is probable that some steel pipe S
will be used, but not in any great
quantity. This is durable, and easy
10 put in, but it is expensive, and
The commission believes that the

little if any more expensive, while 3
hey will be at least as permanent,
