Nebraska Man Likes
Lost River Fishing

Tom and A. J. Bradstreet of Grand
Island, Nebr. were in town the first
of the week visiting with E. M. Ken
nedy on a tour of the west in their
car. Tom is the man who estab-
lished the Grand Island horse market
and made it famous. Mr.. Kennedy
visited the market one day during
the war and they were feeding 5000
horses and mules. Last week they
sold 1900 horses.
When Mr.. Kennedy got acquainted
with Tom he found man who liked
good fishing and would go any dis
lance to find it. Mr.. Kennedy told
him to come to Idaho and spend a
month at his ranch on Big Lost river
and if he did not find the best fishing
he ever saw, he, Kennedy would give
him his ranch near Moore. Mr..
Bradstreet took him at his word and
spent couple of weeks there, that
was in 1917, and after he had fished
all up and down the river he told
Kennedy to keep his ranch, the fish
ing was the best on earth so far as
he knew.

Montana Senator Asserts Steps are
Under Way Now to Reyolu-

EFFORT TO UNIoNIzE ARMY


NashingtOn.-The uniOnized police
strike In Boston, with Its attendant
blOodshed and riot, the formation of a
police union in Washington in affilia-
ton with the American Federation of
Labor and the disclosure that steps
are being taken to uniOnize the police
in fifty other large cities have aroused
grave fears In congress of concerted
radical movement to sovietize the
American government.
That the American government will
be sOvietized within two years, pre-
sumably with the American Fedora
ton of Labor in control, unless the
radical program is halted, was the pre-
diction of Senator Myers of Montana
in the senate on Thursday. The logi-
cal sequence of unionizing the police
as part of organized labor, he said,
will be the uniOnizing of the army
and navy, and Senator Thomas, of
Colorado, asserted that the effort to
uniOnize the army already is being
made.
Senator Harding of Ohio accused
President Wilson of tOlerating and en-
couraging the radical tendencies of
the times which have produced the
schemes for labor control of the rail-
roads, the coal mines, and the police
and for the Introduction of the soviet
pris ciple of workers management of
industry.

Seaman Bound to
Be An American

It's great to be an American, and
William James Carson, 20 years old, a
seaman of Dalton, Scotland, proved
he would sacrifice everything he
owned to be called a son of Uncle
Sam. Well dressed, Carson applied at
the office of J. e. Jackson, naturaliza.
ton examiner in New Orleans, and
wanted to take out naturalization pa,
pers. He was fixed up, but didn't
have 81, which Uncle Sam requires to
accompany each first intention decla-
ration.
Don't worry about that" said Car.
son to Jackson. "Will this Office be
open long? I'll be right back"
Clean shaver, but dressed in over
alls, Carson appeared once more, and
was given his first papers.
Carson explained to the government
men that he tried to enlist in the
United States army, but was refused
because he was not citizen.
"Why, I saw those men fight, and
I want to be an American soldier"
Carson said as he left the Office to
head for one Of the nearest recruiting
stations, where he was accepted.

s44O.02O.l3. The deep well system,
with two wells and the necessary
pumrs and tanks within the CITY
would cost in all about $176.9S2.4s.
This is the cheapest plant, but the
water is hard and the motor equip
ment required to keep 1t in opera
ton gives more or less constant
minor troubles and needs much care.
The, Spring creek and Lincoln
creek supplies would cost around
half million each and would require
the pumping of the water to give
pressure, as they are both too low to
furnish pressure by gravity.
Getting water from the Snake
river and filtering it to make it SAM
tary would cost altogether $780,
901.4S. The idea Of the water, which
contains the sewer outflow from
Idaho Falls, would be against it In
the minds of the people, and as its
cost is above the deep wells PROPOSE
ton 1t was discarded along with the
Lincoln and Spring creek supplies.
The councilmen were more than
satisfied with the complete and eff
ficient report made by Cotton & VIII
son. They took the whole thing
under advisement.
Using the Mt. Putnam water,
which by test has been proved sat
isfactory, the city could furnish 125
gallons per capita to the people for
20 cents per thousand gallons at
first, and at the end of twenty years,
at IS cents. The average income
would be $77,38O per year. The
springs are located twenty miles
from the city and would make a
heavy pressure at Blackfoot.
Wells in the city would be easiest
to construct, and cheapest, accordings
to the report. The water is deep and
clean.
A decision will be reached soon as
to which Of the proposed systems to
adopt.

to alleviate the condition of the
masses.
As long as Japanese business was
booming under the stimulous of the

from Japan's phenomenal increase of

tomato Of the ever-present difficulty
before the Japanese industrial lead
ers and the governmnt. At the pres
ent time the contraction of such
war babies" as the shipbuilding in

manufacturing has thrown thousands
on to the labor market at time
when the cost of Twink has risen
steadily and the food supply for 1919
promises to be short.
In the Diet this situation is en-
gaging the attention of Japan's legis-
lators, led by the Ex-Minister of Ag-
riculture and Commerce, Mr.. Rem
Nakashoj This statesman met the
situation brought on by the August
rice riots by far-reaching measures
instituted by the government. He
and those holding similar views
