Although it was at first expected that the county court house addition would be completed in time for the opening of the autumn term of court if is beloved now that the building will not be ready for occupancy until Jan- uary 1 next Scarcity of men and other labor troubles have caused nu- merous delays.

In Memory to James Whitcomb Riley

"And now my only shadow of grief
Is that may not give relief
Unto those living and dreaming on,
And woo them graveyard, as have gone,
And show deaths loveiness-for they
Shudder and shrink as they walk this way
Never dreaming that all they dread
Is their purest delight when dead"
God who gives the lily and the rose
The flush of eve and light of morning dew
And Aecks with clouds the soft ceruean blue
Whose essence thru all things in beauty flows
To every soul thine inspiration goes;
But full endowment only have the few
To whom of music, art and song the clew
Thou givs wherein thou dost thyself disclose.
o why should beauty pay its toll to death?
O why should genius know the mortal blight?
And why o Lord O why should life be given
Unless Heaven gives it space for fuller breath
And full capacity for fuller light?-
This fe this earthborn flower that blooms in Heaven

SHERIFF. SIMMONS RECOVERING

Sheriff A. H. Simmons has been
confined to his home for the past
six weeks with an attack Of typhoid
fever and is just getting strong
enough to keep the office open again.
During his illness the office force
was working short handed and he
was unable to manage it's affairs or
to make any changes that might be
needed in the manner Of carrying 1t
out. He had studied the disposition
and fitness of his assistants, and had
tried to assign each man to work
most suitable to him and by that
means kept the work well in hand
and well done. Neither Sheriff Sim
mons nor either of his assistants ever
shirked any duty, however disagree
able, and during the dead of winter
when bootleggers boasted that they
could get booze into Bingham county
and dispose of it, Mr.. Simmons and
Mr.. Damn stood on guard several
nights at bridges where booze was
expected to pass and got their men,
on nights so cold that 1t was not sup
posed anyone would be on guard. 1t
has been demonstrated over and over
that these men would make no COM
promises with the criminal element,
and Sheriff Simmons announces his
intention of keeping the work will
in hand.

MEXICAN BURGLAR CAUGHT
AFTER A LIVELY CHASE
Night Policeman Drew and Chief
Sewell; Follow Man to the
Fair Grounds

There was short period of ex
Ic1tement and some shooting to en-.
liven things for those who were
awake Wednesday morning at about
1880, when Night Policeman Drew
|caught a man burglarizinz the Hoff.
man Tailoring company's store, on
West Bridge street and chased him
thru the allies and byways Of town,
shooting in the air and finalling run
ming him to cover at the fairgrounds,
north of town.
BY that time Chief Sewell had
joined the chase and he, with a sign
from a woman who has noticed the
man hiding behind some out-build-
ings along the fair grounds fence,
found and arrested him. The prison.
er gave the name, as near as could
be made out, of Hula Dejien. He
had pocket full of cuff buttons,
stick pins, four watch chains and one
watch. This is about all he took
from the store excepting another
watch which is unaccounted for.
When Drew first saw the man in
side the store he covered him with
a revolver and commanded him to
lgive himself up. But the robber
dashed out of the back door and
across the street to the alley behind
Boyle's hardware store and up the
next alley, passing behind the City
hall. Drew had run back to the al
ley at the rear of the mill and so
had poor start in the pursuit. BY
the time the man had taken to hiding
at the fair grounds Drew had lost
sight of him.
The Mexican claimed he could not
speak any English at all. At least
he would not understand a word,
so an interpreter was sent for and
will be used in the trial.
The only damage to the store
broken into was disabled door. A
key which the intruder tried to use
in the door broke off, so he broke
a glass panel to unlock it from the
inside,

BLACKFOOT PUBLIC
LIBRAR OPENS WITH
GOOD SELECTION

Thru the well directed energy of
the women Blackfoot now has the
very good beginning of library. Tho
the variety is not extensive yet there
are more books than most folks ever
examine and enough good reading to
last the town book-lovers until there
are many new books in.
With money raised by their own
canvass the Kings Daughters have
bought the nucleus Of the library's
contents, and soon they will order
$43 worth in addition. Some of the
sets they furnished are Scott's
IWaverly novels, Charles Reade
novels, Washington Irving, Ridpath' s
history of the United States and the
Worlds Famous Orations, from
Homer to Mckinley.
The fiction side of the question
has not been neglected. The shelves
at the left of the entrance hold two
lor three hundred representative
novels and stories by popular and
much read authors. On the other
side stands nice collection of ref
erence and standard literature, in
'cluding the orations, and a 63-vol-
ume set of Histories Of the Nations
donated by the Current Event club.
A children's room, managed by the
Kings Daughters, is not full, but
has a good start in that direction,
it's shelves bearing many an old
favorite, the mere title Of which will
bring pleasant "reminiscences to the
grown-ups. The girls have just add
ed a beautiful set of William Shape
spere, done in large print, with intro
ductions and notes by the most noted
scholars.
AS a contribution of the state the
library has secured q shelf of as
sorted titles from the State Travel
ing library, such as are being sent
out wherever no home library has
been established. It is to be remem-
bered that no one claims this is the
Blackfoot library proper, but only a
temporary relief from barren
The ladies themselves ex-
press hopes that the city itself will
do something in the cause of books.
Real mothers are the greatest believ-
ers in preparedness and perhaps they
will keep dinging at the men until
something is got going for the pre-
yention of exodus by all young per-
sons who learn Of the advantages
offered by other communities. In
the absence of a school Of higher
learning public library has double

MORE WAGES
DEMANDED
CARPENTERS
Conferences With Contractors Are
Without Satisfactory Results.
Some Men at Work

A number of carpenters employed
by contractors on building work in
Blackfoot are now without job and
for the present the employers are
doing without some of their men.
For two weeks trouble has been
Threatened by frequent unsatisfactory
conferences between the carpenters
and contractors, principally those
who are managing the new hotel con-
struction.
On the morning of August 1, ac-
cording to the members of the car
Ipenters' union, which was organized
two weeks ago, they went up ready to
go to work, and instead were paid
loff, or in other words discharged.
The Eccles managers said that they
laid off the men on account of lack
Iof materials, delay in shipments
of brick and lumber, and that work
would start in week or so.
Demands
Some of the demands of the union
members are an eight hour day, a
rate of 621a cents per hour as mini
mum wage; time and half pay for
outside of hours; that carpenters
should not furnish tools to helpers;
that there should be only one helper
to every four carpenters.
The officers of the organization
are as follows: M. H. Shirley, presi-
dent; ]. J. Quillin. vice president;
Henry Spani, financial secretary;
Lee Faulkner financial secretary; s.
A. Ward, treasurer. The organiza-
tion has now 46 members.
Part Working
Some of the carpenters went to
work at the lumber yard Of the Ore
gon Lumber company, Wednesday
and it is assumed that
they received the scale of wages de-
The men had been receiv-
ing around SO cents an hour for
nine hours day, and had been put
ting in some time on Sundays at
straight time, as the hotel men are
n a hurry to complete their build
ng before cold weather. On these
points the disagreements have grown.
A number of conferences were held
without any settlement. AS matters
stand now there are no carpenters
working on the Eccles hotel building
md there are some working for the
oregon Lumber company and other
contractors.

which caused the death of John Har-
vey. The motion was denied and the

the room, and similar one was
found lying on the floor in the room;
that photographs were taken of the
