Blackf0ot seems to be on the verge
Of doing what the peace conference
at Versailles is trying to do--form
"a league Of the different interests,
or interests that have rancied there
were differences that must be
guarded and nursed and kept burning
and singing.
'BlackfOot is about to unite on a
site for federal building site
that will unite all factions, and make
the town develop in a we'll balanced
form that will be best for all. It
has had the post office pulled about
from one extreme to another. and
it had its bad effects. Some of the
extreme interests in these old man
euvers have already come together,
laughed about the matter, agreed
upon a site and are going to their
neighbors to ask them to sanction
1t. It is one Of the big, broad moves
designed to develop the town right,
and also to harmonic individual diff
ferences that have been hurting the
town.
Where the Building Will be
II the present peace pact succeeds,
II the olive branch swings round the
circle and meets with laugh and
an endorsement everywhere as it has
been doing, the final and lasting To-
cation Of Blackfoot's post office and
land office will be on Ash street, be-
tween Pacific and Bridge, facing east.
1t will be on the property exactly one
block west Of the Eccles hotel, and
IN about the same position in the
block, perhaps in the center of the
block from north to south. It will
be just where the residence Of Mrs.
Rogers is now, and just north of the
residence Of Marcus Blenkle. 1t will
be one block west and one block
south from the City hall 1t will be
Just around the corner west and
north from the present post office
and the Republican office. It will be
exactly half way between the eastern
and the western limits of the business
houses as now constituted on the
west side of the railroad.
Fine Companion Piece
AS rider to this move it is pro-
posed to locate the Carnegie library
and Y. M. G. A. on the Rowles cor
ner and northward, on the east side
Of the railroad. This will seal the
matter Of making the west side the
business district, and the east side
strictly residential, intellectual,
scholastic, religious and legal in it's
activities, for it will have law offices

library and the ".

the proposition.
Raising the Price
Now the property is under an op-

Pocatello for 100000 and they in
turn are Offering 1t to the city of
Blackfoot for $4,000, almost three
times what we could have bought for
in December. OF course, the city has
not bought it at that price, and if it
were submitted to a vote, the people
would agains reject the offer, but If

JAIL HOARDERS ANDPROF|TEERS
 SAYS CAMP BELL
U. s. Food Sale Only Surface And Temporary Relief Says Arizona Executive in Speech
 Before Governors of West

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 16.-"Jail the profiteer and seize his foodstuffs then worry about convicting him, ? suggested Governor Thomas E. Camp bell, of Arizona, today, addressing the conference of western governors which is in session here, preparatory to the opening of the national confer ence of governors next Monday. This was one step in program to reduce the cost of living suggested by the governor. The other step was to Ire duce the cost of wheat" which, the governor contended, would cause the prices of other commodities to fall of their own weight"
 The governor said the sale of war department surplus food supplies would not lower living costs of the people. He continued:
 Every state legislative is cognizant of the danger that will result from the continued high cost of living. Un- less the cost of living is reduced ma terially, the spirit of unrest that is seething may get out of hand and en- gulf the country"
 The governor went on:
 "The federal government is the proper agency to reduce the cost of living, and to punish the hoarders and iprofiteers,. though action by states is all right as far as it goes. But the federal government has Jurisdiction throughout the nation and its hand can extend from Washington to grab the profiteer and food hoarder.
 "Sale to the people of the $120, ,000, 900 surplus war department food SUD- ply held by the government In storage will not reduce the cost of living The packages sold usually are in such quantities that the average family cannot buy them and even when they are sold in small quantities, there is only about $1.25 worth of food per capita.
 'The people will get hungry tomor- row or the day after, and more food will be needed. I should like to see the profiteer and the hoarder jailed and his hoard sold to the people. Then worry about convicting him.
 ''The federal government is the only agency that can reduce the cost of living in the United States" Gov ernor Campbell declared. "Action by the states in jailing the profiteer and seizing his foodstuffs have a power full effect locally, but this effect is not far reaching enough, since the state cannot go outside Its borders. Many of the states are powerless to act. other than through persuasion and publicity. and these states look to the federal government for action"

Autos, Boats and Railroads To Aid CongeSted Traffic in Metropolis; Say Strike To Call Out 95 Percent of Men

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Supreme
 Court Justice Richard Lydon
 granted a temporary injunction
 early this morning restraining of-
 ficiaIs of the Brotherhood of In-
 terborough Rapid Transit com
 employees from interfering with
 operation of the interborough
 lines.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-A strike which union leaders declared would completely tie up the vast subway and elevated systems of the Inter borough Rapid Transit company in Manhattan, the Bronx and parts of Brooklyn and Queens at 4 o'clock to- morrow morning, was called tonight by P. J. Connolly, acting president of the Brotherhood of Interborough Rapid Transit company employees.
 Corporation Counsel Burr and At tornies of the Interborough tonight were seeking a supreme court jus tice who would sign an order enjoin- ing union officials from making the strike order effective. But even if such an order were obtained, it was admitted, there was little hope of blocking the walkout.
 Frank Hedley, general manager Of the Interborough said every effort would be made to give service, but added that the best possible service would be "very slim," as fully 95 per cent of the company's employees arc members of the union.
 This would leave about 700 men loyal to the company, which number, MT. Hedley said. would not be aug mented by strike breakers.
 Mayor Hylan has ordered Police Commissioner Enright to furnish the company with full protection in it's efforts to run trains and Corporation Counsel Burr in a statement declared that trains would be run eff it takes the entire police force of New York and the military and naval forces ot the state to do it."
 Employees of Manhattan surface cars, which are under receivership, have made no demands, according to Job k. Hedges, federal receiver, and are expecting to continue at work
 That portion of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company subway and elevat ed system running into Manhattan also uses Interborough power, and would be crippled. if not tied up, as a result of the strike.
