Labor Shortage Not Likely
in Valley as Result Of
Coming Tieup.
MEN THERE RELIABLE
Permanent Employees on
Most Ranches Not Run i.
Wholly by Owners.

Stevensvl1le, Aug. 16.-(Special.)--
No serious shortage of farm labor near
Stevensviile is anticipated as a result
of the threatened general strike of the
]. w. w. There are very few members
OF that organization working In the
valley, and the few here are mostly
men who came following the strikes
at the lumber camps. About the only
foreign workers here are the people
doing the hand labor on the acreage
planted to sugar beets. Mexicans and
Russians predominant among these,
and they are not affiliated with any
labor union, according to w. II. Rid
dell, agriculturist for the Great Vest
ern Sugar company, and H. H. Ander-
~son, field man for the Montana Utah
Sugar company.
Most Workers Permanent.
Farms in the Bitter Root valley are
generally small, and are operated by
the owners. The hired help consists
usually of local laborers who are hired
by the month and remain on one place
throughout the planting. growing and
harvesting season. Extra men are
needed during the haying and grain
harvest, but the custom of trading
work from one farm to another solves
this problem to a considerable evtent.
. Effect, Will be Negligible.
Haying Is now pretty well finished,
fruit picking is done mostly by the
women and children, and as the grain
harvest on the hill ranches is almost a
failure because of the drouth, every
Nv. w. in the country could strike
without affecting crop gathering to
any marked extent. "

command of their leaders.
When a company is in a column of
squads, and 1t is desired to form
line of platoOns, the command "Pla-

This is executed by each platoon as
already described for the company.
The leading squad of each platoon exc
cutes a right turn, and four parallel
columns of squads advance in line of
platOOns.
When the company is in line, to form
line of platOons, the command may be
either, Squads right QefD, platOOns,

The first command is explained by ref

SOLD TWO FOR FIVE CENTS
trrascibe to His Advantage,
and Won Out.

The quick wit of travelling sales
man who has since become a we'll
known proprietor, was severely tested
one day. He sent his card by the
office boy to the manager of a large
concern. whose inner office was sep
arated from the waiting-room by a
ground glass partition. When the boy
handed his card to the manager the
salesman saw him impatiently tear it
in half and throw it in the waste bas-
ket; the boy came out and told the
caller that he could not see the chief.
The salesman told the boy to go back
and get him his card the boy brought
out cents, with the message that his
card was torn up. Then the salesman
took out another card and sent the
boy back, saying: Tell your boss ]
sell two cards for 5 cents"
He got his interview and sold a
large bill of goods.

PLATOON COMMANDS.

When the company is in line, to form
'PlatoOns right QefD." This is exc
cuted by each platoon as in the school
of the company.
The right flank men in the front
rank of each platoon face to the right
In marching and mark time. The other
front rank men oblique to the right,
place themselves abreast of the pivot
men, and mark time. In the rear rank,
'he third man from the right in each
platoon followed in column by the
second and firsO moves straight to the
front until in the rear of his front rank
man. Then all three face to the right
in marching and mark time. The re-
naming men Of the rear rank move
straight to the front for four PAGES
Oblique to the right place themselves
abreast of the third man, cover their
file leaders and mark time.
Before executing this movement with
platoOns, the captain makes it a point
to see that the guides on the flank
toward which the movement is to turn
are covering-that is, are in straight
row, so that the pivot men, whose po-
sitions are governed by those of the
guides, will also be in a straight row,
which will bring the platOons into a
precise column. This is effected by
previously announcing the guide to
that flank.
Following the command, 'Platoons
right Qeft), MARCH," the concluding
command is to the company as a
whole-"Forward, MARCH," or "Com-
pany, HALT"
Being in columns of platoons, to
change direction, the command is, "Col-
umn right Qeft), MARCH" At the
preparatory command the leader of
the first platoon turns to the right on
n moving pivot; then it's leader com
mands, Forward, MARCH, at the
completion of the turn. Rear platoOns
march squarely up to the turning point

The New Idea of Conservatism

Franklin X. Lane, secretary of the
interior, recently addressed a letter
to the chairman of the senate COM
mittee on public lands which is we'll

general realization that it is time to
make plans for national defense, j
take the liberty of suggesting that
you consult with the chairman of the

we have some 100000 acres of
phosphate deposit in the same situa-

sources can be made effective by the
passage of leasing bill.
The old idea of conservatism, the
idea preached and practiced by
Roosevelt and Pinchot. says the Hele-
ma Independent, was to lock up all
unused natural resources and sit be-
fore the door with shotgun The
new idea, which Secretary Lane has
put into practice whenever congress
would give him a chance to do so, is
to permit the use OF all natural re-
sources in such manner as to pre-
vent waste and TO get full value for

Hay Becoming Scarce.

Parties from Carey and the lower
end OF this valley state that hay is
becoming very scarce. Most of the
stockgrowers began feeding several
weeks earlier last fall than usual,
and owing to the present depth of
the snow. will have to feed for some
time yet. Hay Is selling for s12 per
ton In the stack, and some cattlemen
have offered SIS per ton for hay In
this immediate vicinity.
The Fitzpatrick Bros are loading a
car of baled hay at Picabo, for ship
ment to Twin Falls. They had or
ders for more, but could supply only
one carload 1t is stated they will
receive $25 per ton for the hay de-
livered. Haley News-Miner
Sheepmen on this segregation are
also feeling the effects of the scar
city OF hay, and some sales have been
at $500 per ton in the stack. and
1t is hard for them to find a supply
even at this figure. While they last
fall purchased what they considered
sufficient amount to carry them
over, the severity of the past win
ter and the lateness of the spring
| has occasioned heavier feeding than
usual, and they find their supply ex-
hausted before they can remove their
fiocks to the hills.
The scarcity OF hay here is due to
the fact that thousands OF tons have
been shipped out OF here to the Utah
stockmen. Notwithstanding the
scarcity that prevails here. those in
a position to know state that this i'm
mediate section is more fortunate
than any place they know OF. From
our exchanges we note that in Sec
tions in the southeastern part OF the
state. stock is actually dying for the
want of hay, and we note one in
stance where a fiockmaster after Sc
lecting the best sheep from his flock
turned 5000 head out to shift for
themselves, and probably die for the
want OF food. Surely the sheepmen
ehave had troubles OF their own this
spring. While the percentage OF
lambing was high. the loss OF lamb:
has been quite heavy. and with the
high price paid for hay. their profit.
will be considerably curtailed thi:
year.
