CANADIAN PACIFIC
STRIKE CALLED OFF
MANDiNG CONCESSIONS IN
HOURS AND WAGES.
Between 1000 and 5000 Men Would
Have Been Thrown Out of EN-
ployment But for Conference
With Road Offic ials.

Winnipeg, Mantle threatened
strike of conductors and trainmen of
the Canadian Pacific, ordered for
Thursday, has been called off, 1t was
officially announced here Wednesday
afternoon, following conference be-
tween representatives Of the employ
ees and officials of the road.
Immediately after the brief official
announcement was issued brotherhood
leaders dispatched messages to all
districts, cancelling the strike order.
1t was said no statement would be
issued regarding the terms of settle
ment until late Wednesday or Thurs.
day.
Between 1000 and 5000 men were
directly affected by the strike order.
The men were demanding certain con-
cessions in working hours and wages.
1t was learned that one Of the prin'
cipal points at issue was decided In
favor of the men. The train crews
will be paid for their preparatory time
prior to departure of trains. Another
important question, that of guaranteed
miles of way-freight crews was dis
posed of by a compromise on $500
miles. The company desired to base
salaries on mileage of 5000, while the
men wanted salaries based on 2,40O
miles.

Tone Recital.

The music lovers of Oakley will
have the opportunity on Thursday
afternoon, November eth, at 1.30
pm, to hear an Edison tone test,
the unique musical and scientific de-
monstration that has been attracting
wide attention in all parts of the
United States during the past few
months 1t is W ell known fact that
most monographs merely give IN
approximate reproduction of the
human voice-a reproduction that
may be pleasing to the ear but fall
far short of appros CHI ng the perfec :
ion of the warm and vibrs mt tones of
the living voice. When thomas A !.
Edison invented the first phonogral h
and established the fact that sound
could be reproduced, he realize d
| that if an approximate reproduction
was scientific possibility, a perfect
reproduction could be secured. Pe
set the achievement of the latter tas k
rs goal and for years he concen-
trated his energy and resources on
the work he had determined to ac.
complish.
A few month ago he announced
that his task was completed and that
he WAS ready to give new and un
que instrument Of music to the
| world. In order to demonstrate the
degree of perfection that ha had
attained in it, he gave demonstrat
ion in Carnegie Hall, New York. in
which Nine Marie Rappold of the
Metropolitan Opera, sang in uni, on
with her voice on the New Fdi on
An audience of the most cultured
and discriminating musicians of the
metropolis heard the test and found
themselves unable to distinguish he
| tween the voice of the instrument
and th%NDsss of the singer.

DAVIS, THE FARMERS
FRIEND.

oNSl Nouuly ull tildl IOI ~.
w. Davis: the farming class be
fore all others. He belongs to
that class.
AT twelve years OF age he began
shovelling coal in an Iowa mine
At sixteen he quit and clerked in
"A store of which he became the
manager at twenty-three. He
later began farming for himself
along with which activity he
entered banking.
Mr.. Davis las been "A farmei :
stockman and banker for years
The fact that he does not person
ally conduct the details of his
farm work and gives his time to
banking does not indicate that
lie has stepped into another class
of society. 1t does mean, how
ever, that his business ability has
led him into the greater respons-
ibllities offinanciug other farmers
In the early development OF the
American Falls country, he told
the town business men, "youw will
have to look else where for finan
cial backing. The farmers who
axe developing this country
will need all the money can
supply
He helped to buy implements,
fences, seed and teams when all
the security they could offer was
some raw land and a lot OF grit.
Most bankers will not take such
a risk.
Many payments were long de-
ierred and some losses occurred
yet the development work went
on. d. w. Davis WAS improving
land of his own and knew the
needs and difficulties of the sett-
Ter III a new country.
He had staked all on the worth
of the Idaho land and the integ
ritv OF the settlers. Is it any
wonder that the farming class is
now showing him the same loval
ty that he once showed them?
When Mr.. Davis speaks OF the
Carey Act troubles he does not
speak from hearsay, nor does he
utter lately formed principles de-
signed to catch votes.
When the A american Falls Canal
company failed, the water users
formed the American Falls and

sent Salmon Settlers Association

charge of the canal company and
finally SO adjusted the project
that it is now succe sSiul.
He has heard Land Board
agents at various drawings de
clare that the state stood behind
1he projects and that the settler
could not lose As al settler ht
has always held the position that
he state has a responsibility y
which it cannot shirk-to enforce
he fulfilling oiits contracts with
out cost to the settler and To en-

ID. w. Davis knows the farmers
needs thoroughly and therefore
will not wait nineteen months
until the heat OF another camp

thing must be done. He will not

another.

GOV. ALEXANDER
AND THE
SALMON TRACT.

The Salmon River Carey Act
settlers have carried on their
fight for the enforcement of the
states contract with the com.
pany without any assistance
from the state. In tact during
the present year the highest pol
itical officer in the state express
ed himself as not i'll sympathy
with the settlers litigation.
The unconcern of a former ad
ministration caused the voters of
Twin Falls county to forget
party preference in 1914 and give
the present democratic governor
a l25% plurality which was
nearly one fourth of his lead in
the entire state.
After that election Governor
Alexander was overlooking with
good will for the Salmon tract
because of the immense sympath-
etic vote he had received in the
county. His ELUSIVE promises
made he settlers feel that, at
last, the state was going to tul.
Fl it's declaration of 1868. that
it was behind the Salmon River
pre- ject.
The first definite move OF the
present administration was one
which disregarded the federal
court findings in the settlers
suit and also the 90 ditions nee
essary to successful irrigation
farming. Governor Alexander
advocated ON the tract that the
acreage be fixed al 40 900 whie h
was 1000 acres in excess of the
amount cultivated during he
season the water famlpe OI
1915; that the supply of water,
which could be demanded be scut
from 2.75 acre feet to 2 25 pei
acre lin 1915 only rs had been
apportioned but not fully deliver
ed); and that the settlers pay loi
hall of the cost OF reducing the
tract, IN addition to the orIgina
costs.
An editorial IN local demo
cratic newspaper dated July 13
1916. states that the CARRYING
out OF the plan would effectivel,
depopulate the Salmon tract anC
leave the promotion compan,

A SMALL BLAZE

A small blaze from the cottage
occupied by Mr.. and Mas. Ray
Purcell, next to the Com
mercial hotel, Wednesday night,
brought the fire laddies out in re-
cord time, altho they mistook the
telephone message to say Com
mercial club instead of CONNER
cial hotel. While the origin of the
fire may forever remain a mystery.
it is believed that match was
carelessly thrown on a pile of
clothing when the occupants we're
searching for missing. wearing ap-
parel, thus causing an incipient
blaze, the builing sustaining little
damage.
"Doc" Stockton, who owned the
furniture Of the cottage, estimates
his loss at about $500.
