Commenting on the action of the COM
mittee, Thomas F. Fiaherty. secretary OF
the National Federation of Postoflce
Clerks. last night said:
The postal service should not be con-
Quoted primarily for profit. The workers
have Justly earned substantial increase.
Their wages have not kept pace with the
increased cos6 of the necessities of life.
To quote President Wilson, no man can
worship God or love his neighbor on ali
empty stomach"
The $4,000 900 wage increases scattered
throughout the length and breadth OF the
land Will mean in many Instances the
differences between a fairly comfortable
living and a bare existence; the differences
between happiness and misery.
While the Navy Yard workers were
given substantial Increases by the Navy
Board, the new scale was not as much
as the men desired.
At the Washington Navy Yard the
principal changes In the maximum rates
of pay are: Biacksmiths. from AA to

satisfaction with the new scale. which is
from 8 to 50 cents lower than that sought

Elementary teachers comprise about so
per cent of the teaching force in the
schools of Washington To them is entrust-
ed the first eight years of a child's school
life. the most formative and impression-
able OF all the years. The teachers have
a tremendous responsibility in maintain
ing those standards which lay the foun-
dation of the childs future efficiency.
Teachers cannot give satisfactory service
without being themselves efficient, the
latter depending not only on proper train

high ideals"

Death OF Walter B. Eastman

In the summer of 1916 Mr.. East
man helped Rev. Mr.. Kinks in his
work and became we'll known in
Cambridge. He was a man of I'M
usual talent with musical genius and
marked ability as a speaker.
He was studying for the ministry
of the Episcopal Church, and was
within a few months of his ordina-
ton. A few weeks ago his younger
brother. for whom he had the ten
derest affection, was taken ill anC
died very suddenly, which preyeC
upon his mind and led to the menta:
alteration under which he took his
own life. In the vast majority OF
cases, l feel convinced that suicide
is the result of insanity, and it may
be that eventually alienists will show
the world that all suicide results
from a disordered state of mind
responsible for the tragedy. Many
a person needs the kind hand and
help which lifts the depressed per-
son over the crisis, just as good nurs
ing carries a sick man over the dan
ger point in illness.
Mr.. Eastman was at such a crisis
when in Cambridge, as he was anxi-
Gus to educate this young brother,
continue his own studies, and he
was short Of funds made an eff
fort to borrow money for him, but
did not succeed. and he left the, sem
mary and went tot work to keep in
mary and went to work to keep in
night by himself, which is bad
thing for a man with a load On his
shoulders. Then the boy died, and
it was too much for him-he put the
pistol ball through his heart and his
life went out. If l had appreciated
the real state of the crisis, something
might have been done. In this age
of nothing but CRISIS, everywhere,
there is borne in deep to the soul the
fact that there may be on all hands
many who need what we can give to
carry the unfortunate over the di-
lemma. The Salvation Army people
do wonderful work in saving thou
sands from suicide, and if the peo-
pie of the world were doing their
real duty the natural presumption is
that there would be but little self
erburdened mind that, loses the vi
sion of the bright side of things, see
ing only the darkness that calls for
cessation. This was too fine a man
to be lost at the Threshold of his
existence, and it speaks a word to
all who may have an opportunity to
bring sunshine to the hearts of 9TH
| er people, and gain a blessing as we
| bless our fellowman.

Started for Mountain Homestead in
February; Dropped Exhaust
ed i'm the Snow

After a search lasting several
weeks made by various parties for
the body Of Alva Beasley, whose non
appearance led his neighbor to start
inquiries as to his whereabouts last
month, was found Saturday night
partly buried in the snow near
Miners creek, ON the trail to his
ranch on Willow creek. Search
parties had given up the quest, but
Alva's brother, Orley, went back over
the trail and made the gruesome
flnd.
About February % Orley went
with his brother to the Lockyer
ranch which is well up in the hills
east of Blackfoot, and the following
day Alva started for his ranch on
Willow creek, going by ski. There
was binding snow storm blowing
at the time but he insisted that he
must get to his ranch. He evidently
became exhausted and stopped to
rest, or tumbled down. The body
was in perfect preservation; the face
was sun-blackened. His clothes were
intact, with revolver and money in
the pockets; the skis were still fast
to his feet.
The body was brought to the
Brown undertaking parlors
Sunday. The funeral is set for 2
o'clock Tuesday. Alva is son of
Mrs. R. N. Beasley. of Groveland.

NAVY GETTING NEAR
FULL WAR STRENGTH

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The navy
will reach its full authorized maxi
mum war strength of 100000 enlist
ed men next Thursday II the recruit
ing ratio of the last ten days is main
tanned. An official statement issued
last week showed that the service
had a total of 98,028 men, the re-
cruiting campaign inaugurated April
having produced 31,341 men up to
date. Bills pending in congress au-
thorize the addition of $4,000 more
men or a total strength, including
hospital corps apprentices and unor-
ganized units of $4,000 men.
There still is a shortage of ma
chinists, shipwrights, carpenters,
ship filters and other men trained in
technical trades, and who need no
preliminary instruction at the naval
trade school, the secretary said.
The department is working to pro-
vide quarters for all the men who
are being enlisted but has been un-
able to meet the rush. For that rea-
son recent recruits have been allow
ed to return to their homes until
summoned to duty. Temporary bar
racks are building at San Francisco
and the exposition grounds at San
Diego. California, have been taken
over for the same purpose.

SEEK TO MAKE
FULLC0MPA
OF MARINES

The dozen boys already enlisted
in the marine corps service are max.
ing a campaign to secure "a other
recruits so that Blackfoot may be
represented by a full marine COM
pany. They are pointing out to
eligible friends that the educational
advantages Of the marine corps SER
vice are we'll worth consideration, as
study on battleship is efficiently ar
ranged for, and complete special
courses in almost anything may be
studied. Mark Tuohy, who is leav-
ing fine position as assistant man
ager and ad writer for Rowles-Mack,
is thinking of taking up advertising
while in the service.
Harry Clark, high school student
and employee of the Boyle Hardware
company, has signified his intention
to join the boys, and was only pre-
vented from enlisting with them last
week thru an unavoidable absence
from the recruiting meeting.
The other boys enlisted are leaving
Jobs in civil life as follows: Bert
Anderson, salesman Rowles-Mack;
Harold Anderson, clerk Brown Ed

Donald, salesman Pearson grocery;
Hugh Fackrell, farming; Howard
Wells, waiter in the Idaho cafe; Mar

LOCAL LAND OFFICERS
SUSTAINED in DECISION

In one of the most unique cases
that have come up for decision in the
Blackfoot land office, the pronounce
ment of the local officers was upheld
upon the case being appealed to the
general land office.
Two men were bidding on the
same isolated tract which was for
sale. and the highest bidder offered
personal check in payment. The
receiver could not take the check,
as the law explicitly states the cash
must be paid Immediately, nor was
it possible for him to wait till the
bidder might go over to town and
cash a check. Consequently the next
highest bidder, who had the cash on
hand, obtained the tract for some
what less than the high figure. The
general land office sustained this ac-
ton when appealed to.
A number of restorations OF land
in the Minidoka project are being
filed on. These tracts were reserved
two years ago by the government.
A number of filings on grazing
homesteads have been withdrawn up
on it being understood that appli-
cants must live on the land. The
land office has been busy returning
checks to the applicants who did not
consider residence on the land.
Evidence was heard last week in
a. conflict over old desert entries for
the adjustment of ownership OF ~
acres of valuable land in Fremont
county. The contest is between
Frank O. Greene and Katherine Was
lev. George o. Wall, Of Occur
d'Alene, and Mr.. Horf, Of California
were here as witnesses in the case.
It is considered one of the most i'm
portant cases in years.
