Railroad Fighting Seems
 To Have Just Begun

Little Rock, June 1.-After years of railroad rate fighting, it seems to be scarcely more than begun. A meeting of the Ark ansas Railroad Commission will be held tomorrow, to confer with the states legal department, as to what can be done.
 Assistant Attorney General Streepey has returned from St. Paul, where be succeeded in se- curing a continuance until Dec. Il of the hearing on the petition for a permanent in junction against t he Commission Tariff No. }. He thinks the state can win the fight, if all the facts can be gotten before the court, and all emergencies are to be turned to that end for the next few months.
 The Frisco's tariff, now in eff feet on that road, is declared to be the highest in the United States, and to be higher than the same roads own tariff in Mis- souri, Oklahoma. and other states It was issued April 15, and be. came effective on Arkansas state traffic April P and on interstate traffic May p. The Frisco and the Kansas City Southern are endeavoring to secure ratifca- tion by the court of this tariff, instead of the Commission tariff. The freight rate situation as it applies to other roads, depends upon the outcome of this suit.
 The passenger rate is another matter. In few days there will be no more two cent rates in the state. The Iron Mountain last night at midnight advanced it's rate from two to three cents, having filed the necessary bond of S50,000. The bonds of the Cotton Belt and the Rock Island have been fixed at $50 GOO each, and will be filed at once. The 3.cent rate will be in effect until Dec. II, any way, and in the meantime, coupons for possible rebates will be attached to all tickets, to be retained by the passenger. The days of the ,. cent passenger fare seems to have passed in Arkansas. It has been and continues to be one of the hardest fought legal battles ever waged in the state. It has already cost the state over Sl00,- 900 and while the recoveries on the original suit, which was car ried through the Supreme Court of the United States, has return ed to the citizens of Arkansas many hundreds of thousands of dollars, it has not definitely es- tablished the lower rates for which the Commission and the shippers have been contending.

Special Meeting Of
The City Council

Last Friday the city council held a
special meeting for the purpose of con-
sidering a new lighting contract from
the Southern Idaho Light and Power
Co. The local manager of the company
was present and presented the COM
pany's proposition which was carefully
listened to by the entire council, who
laid the matter over for further and
more careful consideration.
The proposition offered the city by
Mr.. j. B. Brokaw, the local manager Of
the company, gives the city 65 per cent.
more current than it has now, for an
additional cost of 50 per cent, with a
bright light at the intersection Of every
street in the city, Of an 100 candle
power.
The council seem to be unanimous
in their desire to procure a municipal
lighting plant for Blackfoot, and will
continue their efforts to secure power

K. OF P's PLAY BASEBALL

A baseball team composed of mem
bers Of the local X. of r. lodge journey
ed to Fort Hall last Sunday and crossed
bats with the boys of the same order at
that place.
Judge Andersen who gets the credit
of organizing the team is going around
with broad smile as he claims his
"Tigers' took the Fort Halls players
into camp, by score of 33 to 21, or
somewhere near that, as the official
score keeper was applying for an as
sis-oat when the game was called at
the close of the 9th inning, to help him
keep tally.
The local boys claim when they have
their joints loosened up little more
and get that old "soupbone' in shape
that they will give very good ac-
Judge Andersen, "Shorty' Larsen,
Jack Stone, and Dave Pratt were out
lawed, having jumped to the "In-
Juns' about the 9th inning. which no
doubt accounts for Blackfoot's big
score.

Prominent Attorney
Pleads Not Guilty

Last Monday morning at about 10
o clock, the law office Of ATTORNEY
Dickinson, was the scene of a lively
fracas. 1t seems that John Mulville,
the 16-year- old son of Mrs. Emma Ash
ton of the Cottage hotel, accompanied
by an employee of the house, called on
Mr.. Dickinson in regard to money mat
ters that had been existing between
the attorney and his mother for some
time. Angry words were exchanged
when the young man was ordered out
of the office and refused to go. In the
scuffle that ensued gun was used by
the limb of the law who is accused of
hitting young Ashton over the head
with it after it was discharged twice
withou. doing any harm. Young Ash
ton had Mr.. Dickinson arrested and
charged with an assault with deadly
weapon with intent to do great bodily
harm, to which the accused entered
plea of not guilty and asked that his
hearing be postponed until the 18th
inst. His request was readily granted
by Probate Judge Doud who allowed
him to depart on his own recognizance.

Governor Alexander
and Party Here

Governor Alexander, Attorney-gen-
eral Peterson and Secretary of State
Barker, made a brief visit in Blackfoot
last Tuesday, where they dined and met
a few of their political friends and
constituents. They were on an inspec-
ton tour of the States institutions and
came here IN an auto from st. Anthony
where they visited the reform school.
While here they visited the insane asy-
um, which they found in very salts
factory condition. Among the prom
inent Democrats who gave the Cover
nor the glad hand We're Sam Rich, the
ex immigration commissioner, Joe Car
ruth, register, and Charley Harris, re-
ceiver Of the United States land Of
flee.
Although Governor Alexander looks
better than Nose Alexander did during
his late campaign, he is the same old
Nose with the same old characteristics
and quaint sayings. He stated that
there was nothing of public Importance
about his official iunkat, that he was
only accompanying Peterson and Lar
ker around the state fixing up their
political fences, and although he him
self was out of politics he was interest
ed in seeing how it was done. When
asked about the resignation of VIII lam
Jennings Bryan from the nationalt alb
met he stated that he had a right to
quit his job if he could not agree with
Wilson, and repeatedly stated that
Bryan is the greatest man the world
ever knew, but like all great and good
Democrats he has met with great deal
of opposition that has forced him to re-
tire from public service, which retire
ment he regretted very much as the
people will miss him. Big Sam Rieh re-
marked that all great men had their
| duplicates and that the government sur
Ivived their retirement, when Moses
again spoke unto the crowd saying:
% Yes Haines was a great man when
the reporter added, "And his equal
has been discovered This reference
| to himself made the Governor a bit
bashful, and he replied ayes, but l
did not say so.'
While here the attorney general and
secretary of state called on Mr.. Good,
] ex-county attorney in regard to par
don for Lawrence Hawkins who was
convicted and sentenced in Backfoot
for attempted rape on little child. We
do not believe Mr.. Good was in favor
of the pardon.
