Optimist Again
the Lowest Bidder

At their meeting last Wednesday
the board of county commissioners
again selected The Optimist to do
tho county publishing. The action ot
the board in giving this paper the
county publishing was not prompted
by fear or favoritism, but was due
to the fact that this paper was the
lowest bidder, it's bid being twenty
five cents for the first insertion and
10 cents for the subsequent insertions,
uMe only other bid received was
that Of the Republican, which was
25 cents for the first insertion and
1S cents for subsequent insertions.
Our bid was three cents lower than
the Republicans, and ten cents less
than we received last year for the
same work, which was the lowest
price this county ever paid fer it's
printing, and this year it is 10 cents
lower still, and we hope cur loss will
be the taxpayers gain.

THEY ALL COME BACK,

Mr. John Robertson, who, several
months ago leased his farm on ac-
count of failing health, and returned
to his former home in Grower, Mis-
souri,, has returned to Blackfoot and is
very glad to get back. Since leaving
here he has Travelled some and says
he found nc place more prosperous or
promising than this part of Snake
river valley where he says the peo-
the redemption of sterile lands is
than in any of the localities he visit
ed. He says he don't regret the trip
as it gave him much needed rest
and improved his health, and convince
ed him that he had farm in the
best state in America, and that the
climate of Idaho the year through can
not be beat by any he has ever en-
countercd. He reports times in Mis-

tions to get it for the high school.
Nofear Davis, chairman Of public
improvements committee, in regard
to a new contract for city light, made
a report that was quite indefinite.
Mr.. Davis suggested that the city
try and purchase the plant now here
if possible, and buy the current from
its owners. Clerk was instructed to
write to Mr.. Wallace of Twin Falls
and ascertain what could be done in
this respect. Moved and carried.
Finance committee had no report.
Clerk instructed to write to cur
legislative representatives to origin
ate or foster some legislation that
would give Blackfoct better water
and light accommodations. The coun.
Gil seemed to favor some legislation
that would permit G number of incor-
porated cities, towns or villages to
Jointly own light or water plants.
It was the sense Of the council to
keep the beautiful cemetery plat book
costing $85, and compiled by City
Engineer Young, in the vault.

Switchman is
Badly Injured

| The following article taken from
the Pocatello Tribune of Tuesday
Will bring sadness to many in Black
foot who are acquainted with the un-
fortunate victim, who is cousin of
Peter Felsted, and was at one time
popular clerk in the Golden Rule
store:
Russell Felsted, we'll known
young man of Pocatalllc, who was a
switchman in the local Short Line
yards, was badly injured this morn
ing, and will be a cripple for life if
he survives the shock. He lost both
feet.
The accident happened at about
$50 and occurred in the eastern
end of the yards. Felsted was en-
ployed with yard engine Nc. 5S2, that
had hold of string of cars switch
ing on the eastbound main line, and
was passing signals to the engineers.
While thus engaged he was standing
between the tracks, and apparently
did not see or hear train on the
other track, there being but mar
raw space between the tracks, and
the other engine was showing a couu-
pie o. cars eastward On the west
bound track. Between the tracks
there is barely room for an indivi-
dual to stand perfectly still while
two trains are passing, and were
car door swinging it might be diff
ficult thing at that, though the space
is approved as the standard. There
is little danger, however, except at
such times as the present, when the
glIaund is covered with treacherous
ice.
Felsted either stepped back, or
slipped, and one of the two cars
handled by engine No. 596 passed
over both of his legs, just above the
ankle. The rear trucks nf one Of the
cars ran over his legs. Switchman
H, T. Mcdonald, who was riding the
head end of the car states that Eel
sted apparently stepped bach just
In time to be hit by the car.
The injured man was rushed to
the Pocatello general hospital, and

Line WcS Called and If was fOund

well as could be expected at this
time.-Pocatcllo Tribune.

ister Of the Blackfcot land office, had
the endorsement of State Chairman j.
t. Pence and National Committeeman
Robert Elder, of the Democratic par

identified with the party in the south
east par' Of the state, where he is
recognized as one Of the leading Dem

TVS territory the then clerk Of the
old county resided in the new county
