TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY
Continued from page one

Continued from page one
things that have to be met. A man
thinks he can estimate the cost of
excavating a basement because he
knows just what it can be handled
for per cubic yard, but when he has
the job about done 1t may cave in
so that 10 or 20 tons have to be
shoveled out by hand at great ex-
pense, and that cannot be ignored;
it simply has to be paid for. When
the work of building is in progress
there may be delay in delivery of
materials and less is accomplished
it has to be paid for tho it was not
in the estimate. These things con-
tlnue till the job is done and some
body has to foot the bill. Mr.. Ber-
rett thinks that if the city employed
a competent engineer to plan a water
system, he would be subject to the
same law of difficulties as would any
one else, but he doubts if the actual
cost would exceed the estimate so
much as in buildings.
Miss Ethel Thompson, bookkeeper
for the c. w. & M. company, when
asked as to the recent advances in
their line, reviewed some lists and
said that implements in general had
advanced about 20 per cent in the
year 1916; that rope and twine had
advanced about 40 per cent and
wagons 20 per cent, but that buggies
had remained the same. due she sup
posed to the increased demand for
autos and the decreasing demand for
buggies.
To return to the subject of build
ing or buying a water plant for the
town, If we add such percentages
to the estimate as seems necessary
in other lines, it would bring the
probable cost Of duplicating the pres
ent system to sum ranging between
$40, 200 and $4,000.
G. F. Hillard, the secretary for the
water company, stated that he be-
lieved the city engineers estimate
did not cover nearly all of the valves,
unions, tees, cut-offs, etc., which are
very expensive details of the system,
nor did he believe it covered the ac-
tual cost of laying the heaxy lines
of pipe as compared with the lighter
ones. He said it was easy to COM
pute the cost of trench Of given
depth and of laying small pipe line
but when it came to laying the
heavier lines, the cost doubled up
quickly. and only those who have
had the experience can appreciate
the added expense.
Engineer James Young in discuss
ing the matter said he presumed they
had overlooked some of the invisible
articles of expense, and that the
present prices of machinery had not
been investigated to see how much
allowance should be made to enable

BOYS OF End IDAHO
HOME FROM BOISE

The militia boys who represented
this county with the Idaho Second
regiment at Nogales came in Friday,
Saturday and Monday. On Friday
also troop car passed thru bearing
the Idaho Falls boys, 40 of them with
Lieutenant L. e. Lundberg. Our
share of the citizen soldiers num-
bered a dozen men, most of them
appearing strong and deeply tanned.
Belonging to Blackfoot proper
were George Davis, Herbert Neider,
Willie Robinson, Claude N. Payne,
and Louis Bowen. There were AL
bert Burkman, Of Firth; Sergeant
Charles Linton, of Downey; who
came here to- visit friends; Earl Jen-
sen and Walter Chandler, of Spring
field; Walter Kent and Clyde Ivie, of
Mackay; and Willie Johnson and
Arthur Chapman, of Rose. Sergeant
Wilbur Allen, who was in Reebe's
insurance office, has not yet return
ed from Boise.
OF the Blackfoot contingent, Her
bert Neider has re-entered high
school, and George Davis and Willie
Robinson are still without work.
Claude N. Payne secured employment
for the time with Dahle & Eccles.

SHELLEY

l. c. Bolander, our pioneer shoe
maker, is building three modern
homes anticipating the influx of peo-
pie this spring for sugar factory
work.
The sugar factory is progressing
favorably. Men are working right
along. According to Secretary F. G.
Nicholson. from two to three hundred
men will be employed on the ground
as soon as the weather breaks up.
At the present time there are rs
working on the railroad spur which
runs from the town to the factory
grounds There is a spur to beobuilt
from Taylor to Shelley as well as
one from Goshen to the factory.
This has been a winter of "situa-
tions." The coal and water and now
the light situation, and the latter
seems to be the worst. The utilities
commission is expected here to in
yestigate the matter. The citizens
refuse to make light" Of it.

NOT VERY
PATRIOTIC

When war seemed imminent with
Mexico last spring, and we were for
the second time invading that unhap-
py country and patroling the border
in daily expectation of hOstilities, II
of the young men from this county
offered their services and went with
the Idaho national guard. After
spending some months on the border
they returned to Boise at Christmas
time and suffered the disappointment
Of being held in storms and cold in
camp at that place. The exposure,
the cold, the poor accommodations
lin many respects made it hard for
them and sickness and some deaths
followed just when they all had their
hearts set on being at home.
On the twenty-sixth of January,
after night ride in the cold our
boys got off the train at Blackfoot,
and no welcome was accorded them.
Some of them were met by friends
or relatives, and for the most part
the public did not know just when
they were coming. But that is not
all, no particular interest was mani
tested in getting up any demonstra-
tiOn at all. A young woman OF the
community who had brother in the
regiment, tried at times for the past
few weeks, to interest the town in
getting up some kind Of welcome or
entertainment for the soldiers when
they should arrive, but met with no
response and no encouragement.
The public are in a peculiar frame
of mind regarding all things mill
tary. They do not more than half
believe in 1T, they are busy making
money or being comfortable, they do
not want to be disturbed, and If the
country were invaded by q foreign
power capturing everything as fast
as they could get to it with trains
and airships, it is likely that it would
take some time for people to wake
up to the fact that moral suasion is
The Idaho Republican., 1917-02-02

not sufficient for our national de-
tense and maintaining our national
honor. We as nation are growing
so fat and so lazy, 1t will have some
of the appearances of just and
righteous wrath If we should be en-
veloped suddenly in cruel fight for
existence.
It is very comfortable to be at
peace. People in easy circumstances
dislike to be disturbed. A little in
convenience is very annoying. 1t Is
only when they are plunged into a
cyclone of troubles that they kiss
comfort goodbye and rise to supreme
achievement.

The Consolidated Music company,
OF Salt Lake City, has opened up a
branch house in Blackfoot under the
management of Conrad Petersen,
who is installed on West Pacific next
to the Art Needle shop, with several
player pianos and record music on
display. This is a wedge and as the
bushes takes hold it is to be hoped
the company will increase the stock
of the branch here to make it we'll

solidated Music company for this ter
ritory. is assisting in the development
of this store. The company has

DEATH OF d. J. WILLIAMS

d. J. Williams departed this life
at his home east of Blackfoot at 10

ninth of January, after lingering
illness of many months. He became

since that time little hope has been
entertained for his recovery.

and several sons and daughters. The
family have lived at the old home
stead east of town for upwards of
20 years and are well known among
the older residents.

FOOD PRICES MUST DROP
United States Will Expose All Attempts
To Rob Consumers.

Avaricious retail grocers and
growers who extort unreasonable
and unfair profits from consumers
will be exposed by the United
States food administration. The
corner in high prices has been
turned, according to Food Commits
sioner Hoover, and most of the es-
sential commodities, ). should one af-
ter another continue to-, show re-
ductions between now and the end
Of the year.
The food administrator declared
that retail dealers are not respond.
Ing to price reductions set by the
wholesalers. He is determined
that if publicity and persuasion do
not result in greater cooperation
on the part of small store keepers
and growers, congress at its next
session will be asked to control re-
Tail business as it now controls
wholesale business.
A nationwide campaign to force
down food prices will be begun ear
ly in the present month when
wholesale prices of all commodities
in every section will be published.
Then the.public, will know what the
retailer is paying for his commodi.
ties and whether he is reaping I'm.
fair profits.
The wholesale price of -four since
the government fixed the price of
wheat ranges from $40 to 5000 a
barrel. The average price of -four
in 1856 different communities of the
country on October IS, according
to the food administration, was
$l377 a barrel, indicating that re-
tailers are exacting an.unfair profit.
The administration finds that in
very many sections there has been
an increase in the retail price of
sugar, though the wholesalers did
not increase the price to retailers
Mr.. Hoover finds that in spite of
the fact that wholesale prices of
meat have been reduced, consumers
are being compelled to dig deeper
in their pockets to swell the profits
Of retailers.
The bean crop this year is esti.
mated at 100000 bushels, but
growers are holding for 13 1-2 to
Is cents, or double the price of a
year ago per pound. Mr.. Hoover
declares that the Manchuria crop
this year is extra large and that
this crop dumped on the American
market, will soon force bean prices
down.
