Chicago, May MAY first was
ushered into Chicago today with the
most serious labor situation in the
building industry in Is years. BY
the addition of 1900 bridge and struc-
tural iron workers. the list of union
workingmen on strike or locked out
was swelled to $4,000 as follows:
Carpenters construction 1900;
carpenters (mill mem 5000; sheet
metal workers, 1900; fathers. 500;
painters. 10000; structural iron
workers. 1900.
The strike of the iron workers
forced iddleness upon 5000 others in
allied trades. bringing the number of
idle because of strikes and lockouts
up to l25.OO0 The strike of the car
penters is said to be the keystone OF
the whole situation. II peace negoti-
ations now on with them are success
full II is generally believed that 9th
ers will fall in line.
The customary May l agreements
with many other unions have been
signed and outside OF the building
trades the prospect is said to be for
industrial peace.

SOME WEATHER.
Farmers and Stockmen Hail with De-
light Bountiful Fall Of the
Beautiful Snow.

We sure have had some weather
since the last issue of the Times,
though everybody seems to have en-
joyed the change. Last Friday after
noon a light snow began falling
which increased in volume during the
night and on awakening Saturday
morning one would think that March
was being ushered in instead of it
being the first day of May. The meas
urement showed that about eight
inches of snow had fallen, but the
warm atmosphere was sufficient to
melt it gradually giving larger pre-
cipitation of moisture than we have
had during the entire spring. The
snow being so very heavy it lodged in
the trees which were out in full foli-
age. breaking off limbs in many in
stances, at the same time presenting
most beautiful sight as the snoy
mingled with the green foliage of the
trees.
Many were alarmed lest the wea-
ther would turn colder and be follow
ed by killing frost, and though the
thermometer indicated a point below
freezing. no particular damage is re-
ported to the fruit crop. The storm
was general throughout the south
eastern section of the state and the
downpour is considered by dry farm
ers as sufficient to insure their crops
this season.
During Friday night the electric
service was interrupted by some trees
In the Hagerman valley which had
become overloaded with snow, falling
across the transmission lines putting
the service out OF commission until
nearly noon on Saturday. This prov
ed quite inconvenient to those who
we're depending upon the electric
service for heat and cooking purposes
but no time was lost in repairing the
same. as Manager Krivanek and his
assistants were up all night looking
after the lines. and the repairs we're
made in time to cook the dinner on
Saturday.
The storm will prove OF untold
benefit TO the farmers throughout this
section and while many trees have
suffered from the weight of the snow
this damage is slight as compared TO
the benefits that will be derived from
the storm and the pleasing fact that
! the fruit has not been injured to any
extent
Reports show that sheep men have
suffered the greatest loss from the
storm as many OF the fiocks had just
been shorn of their fieeces and were
not I'm a condition to withstand the
storm. However. II is the belief that
the percentage OF this loss will be
very small.
The weather has again turned
warm and vegetation is shooting for.
ward with rapid bounds. and with the
absence OF a killing frost fruit grow.
ers are contemplating a very large
yield Of all kinds OF fruit.

Ashenfelter Back in Form-FinL
Score, Jerome A, Twin Falls o.
In one of the best games ever play
ed on the Jerome grounds, and with
every one of the home boys playing
ball, Jerome triumphed over their
greatest rival. Ashenfeiter pitching
faultless ball, was the brightest star
of the day. He was pitted against
Hart, the crack twirler who halls
from the Texas State League. Ash
enfelter's brilliant work may be sum-
med up as follows:
Struck out Is, allowed hits, no
bases on balls, secured one clean hit
for himself and f1elded his position
perfectly, making two assists and one
put out The Twin Falls batters were
at his mercy at all stages, striking
out as fast as they came up.
1t was a day for the Dutchmen and
brother Count celebrated with three
clean wallops out of four times In the
trenches. All the team retrieved the
laurels lost on the previous Sunday.
Ten safe hits we're garnered off OF
the pride of Twin Falls.
The only disappointment of the day
was the smallness of the crowd. The
day was cold and only a few of the
| faithful put In their appearance.
Those present made up in noise what
they lacked In numbers.
The game was cleanly played
throughout. In the first inning after
shutting Twin Falls out In their half.
Johnson opened up with a clean drive
and Count Ashenfelter followed with
another. Maclear was hit by the
pitcher, filling the bases. Dick Jay
cox hit to infield. Johnson making
home safely on the out. Jerome
scored again In the third. A hit by
Count Ashenfelter followed by Mac
lear's hit and an error, Ashenfelter
scoring. In the 9Th Jerome opened
their batteries again and through the
batting efforts of Ashenfelter, Jaycox
and Annett annexed two more runs.
Altogether Twin Falls was outpitch-
ed, outplayed, and outbatted in every
department of the game. They came
over to Jerome as they did last year
expecting to have an easy afternoons 8
work. After few innings had been
played they were helpless and while
they worked hard all the way through
and Hart pitched the game out with
perfect control. 1t was easy to zee
that the boys from across the river
had no chance.
Umps Stewart was master Of the
situation at all times and his work II

Water Shortage in General.

The United States reclamation SER
vice is urging the users of water from
the Boise river TO economic in view
of a probable shortage when the irri-
cation season is we'll under way. An
impression appears TO prevail that
the Arrow Rock storage would af-
ford an ample supply, but the spring
runoff is so unusually light that fur
ther storage seems improbable. AL
though the weather has been excep-
tionaliy warm for the past six weeks.
especially during the past fortnight,
the Boise river is not carrying nearly
the volume OF water IL usually carries
at this time OF the year Furthermore
there is little more to come.

Short Weights.

State inspectors of weights and
measures in Montana find as a result
OF some Investigations that both in
Helena and Miles City -four sacks
branded met AZ pounds" contained
but AS pounds and sacks supposed to
contain 9s pounds. had but 96
pounds. These short weights are
within the per cent variations per-
mitted by law. The statute, however,
specifies that the variations must be
as frequently in excess of weight as
below. The report adds that those
selling the -four have evidently not
been as careless in overweight as they
have been in underweight. Secretary
OF State A. NJ. Anderson OF Montana
declares that as soon as the inspect
ors have finished their investigation,
criminal proceedings will be insti-
tuted IL the facts Justify such pro-
ceeding.

All public printing In Idaho must
be done within the boundaries of the
state. This is the rule established In
the past week by the state board OF
examiners. The matter came up when
a calm for $67.65 was presented by
a Spokane firm for the printing OF en-
yelopes for the University OF Idaho
at Moscow. Ralph T. Bickel, auditor
for the state board OF education. who
had the printing done. insisted that II
was his duty in the interest of the
taxpayers OF the state. to have the
work done where It could be done the
cheapest. Governor Alexander and
Secretary OF State Barker held to the
contention that the taxpayers of Ida
no would be willing to pay the slight
additional cost in order to have the
work done In the state.
