FROM PRlNTZ-eIEDERMAN co,

Cleveland, O.. Aug. ~. 1914.
D. H. Biethan,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Gentlemen:-
At meeting of numerous yer,
influential business men of this Sec
ton. there was discussed today the
European War now in progress and
its effect On business throughout the
United States.
1t is we'll to consider such things
and to prepare for tina results whe-
Their they be coed or i'll. And it was
with the object of better understand
ing and proper preparations for the
future that these men discussed these
matters.
We believe that the conclusions ar.
rived at by these men will be in
tensely interesting to you. There
fore. we arc transmitting in this
letter tho facts which are as follows :
FIRST: Nations representing hall
the total population CT the earth
have withdrawn many of their peo-
PIE from the activities of commerce
and production. and those men are
now engaged in War.
War or conflict destroys what has
been produced-it produces nothing
useful.
SECOND: Such nation or nation,
as are rot engaged In war will,
therefore. be called upon to produce
not only their usual quota of the
worlds needs but take upon them
selves the burden Of producing what
the other nations have through ne
cessity neglected.
THIRD: Not only have some of
these nations now at war interfered
with their present commerce, but
some OF them have permanently lost
their trade. The vast millions of
people engaged in this conflict have
now and will have still more an in.
tense feeling Of hatred toward each

mouth Of Henry's canyon sold this

vicinity man by the name of Brown
operates homestead claim, and in
addition to producing grains, wheat
and oats. raises a great variety of
the finest vegetables of the most
tender variety, which he soils from
a wagon each day. The vegetables,
which are of fine quality. are produced
on dry farm land without irrigation.

RECOMMENDATIONS
TO Be DISCUSSED
Mayor o'Leary's sugges-
tons to be Taken Up.
Mybren Gets License.

Special undertakings for the next
two years. which were recommended
in Mayor O'Leary's message, will be
discussed by the council at an adj
journed meeting Monday night.
In his message to the council.
which was read last Tuesday night.
Mayor o'Learyi, mentioned several
questions Of Importance t 0 the city,
and the aldermen have decided to
hold a meeting to discuss them.
Among the questions to be taken
up are paving. the park system and
the city charter.
Mayor O'Leary declared that the
present city charter has become obso.
lete. and he recommended that the
council take immediate action to Sc
cure a new home-rule charter. The
council will discuss this question,
and, If advisable, formulate plans for
beginning work.
Mayor O'Leary also recommended
that the paving district be extended,
and the council will determine wheth-
er or not 1t is advisable to continue
the work.
1t is expected that definite action
of some kind will be taken regarding
the park question. Since the city ac-
CURED the park property several
years ago, very little, II anything. has
been done to improve 1t and make 1t
a city playground. No park commits
sion has been appointed and no ap-
preparation has been made for carry
ing on the work.
A special meeting of the council
Was held last night, when Ole N.Y.
bren was granted, a license to en-
gage in the saloon business. He OPP
ened today in the building he former
~ occupied. At the meeting Tuesday
night, Mr.. Mybren was refused a IL
cense to operate a saloon in one of
the bridge buildings. The granting of
the license last night increased the
number Of saloons from thirty-two to
thirty-three.
