the Cleveland convention adopted a
set OF demands that its officers were
instructed to present to the operators
offering as an alternative to their
acceptance strike on November 1.
Such a proposal for unconditional
surrender could not be negotiated
and for the American Federation to
suggest that the miners offered bona
f1de negotiations is a piece of DELHI
crate deception.
"The Federation then pays it's re-
spects to the Federal Judge who is
sued the injunction and mandamus
against the officials of the miners.

one-half of one per cent of our peo-

| nature in check; an hour to the Chi
nese is nothing, and week is plenty
of time in which to get ready to go

to hurry? There's plenty of time,
all there is yours. 1t is said the
man who tried to hurry the East is
dead, died of waiting. Maybe so:
saw many man try to drive, but
all he could do was to lead a little.
So slow was the movement that it
was good week before there began
to be much celebrating of the mo-
mentous event in the Celestial Re-
public. Arriving at Marking the old

activity; but it was when we had

from Shanghai, that we came in &C.
tual contact with ebullient joyous
ness over the unprecedented world
transaction, the agreement of the
nations for cessation of war.
Reaching Kiu-kiang, the capital
of the Kiang-si province, we had an
echo or two; taking the train that
runs farthest inland, Japanese

Kan river where Nanchang is To-
Gated; this is a municipality of $780,
900 people, the richest and the most
popplous of the provinces. All the
provinces in China are supplied with
two sorts of governors, political
and military ruler, the latter being
in charge Of the soldiery and there
fore in possession of the greatest
power. Gen WI is the military dig
nitary of this region; the civil is of
little consequence.
One of the missionary agencies in
Nanchang is the greatest hospital
managed by Miss Ida Kahn, de-
scendant of Kung-fu-tse, (Confu-
cius). DR.. Kahn was rescued by q
lady of the Woman's For

few days old was being carried UNI

sionary, Miss Gertrude Howe, asked
the man what he-had in that bag.
"A child" he replied.

The reason for it was that on the
preceding day the military governor
had formally celebrated the signing
OF the armistice. With other no
tables native and foreign, DR.. Kahn
had had and accepted an invitation.
She went and saw. 1t was so tawdry
and so sham-like that she expressed
her disgust by saying: This is a
disgrace. 1t is unworthy the cause
and unworthy to China. will show

planned the celebration as we wit

coolies carried these fat dignitaries
to the entrance of the wide hospital

with choice seats at the head of the
furnished room. Next to these sat
the members of our American party,
the writer having a seat of distin-

Don't Destroy Roads

OF course this is your county and
your roads-they beyong to you
folks who live here and you can do
as you please with them, but | appeal
to you and the people to learn how
to preserve roads and then keep
them good. 1t is important that
roads shall be properly built, but the
best roads we have in America would
sooni be ruined if all the travel is
kept in a streak. When you drive
a vehicle, make it your business to
keep out of the ruts if there are any,
and If there is sign of crease in
the road be sure to straddle. it or
Keep away from it. Iron it out
smooth.
The big opportunity for Bingham
county is just coming now. You have
started to build roads and you are
in line to secure state help and fed
eral aid, and the more you put up
the more additional streams of
money you will draw into your road
treasury for immediate construction.
If all the people of this county could
learn of the opportunities that are
opening to them now for such things
there would be united demand for
Keeping the good work moving.

contract has just been let to Whee-
Ter, Adams and Belnap for three
quarters of a mile leading from the
Moreland school house westward to
the American Falls canal.
Nothing will be done on the road
from Snake river bridge to Grove
land this fall. We thought best to
leave some roads undisturbed for
fall travel.
On the Reservation
On the Ft. Hall macadam road we
have the gravel pit and loading sta
ton all ready for operations, but the
state preferred not to start 'construc-
ton work till spring.
Near the Sugar Factory
North of Blackfoot nothing has
been done leading to the Porterville
bridge. On the Rich lane three miles
have been graded and the rest sub
irrigates and will be left till spring
A contract has been let to Adolph
Claassen to grade the road lying half
a mile above the switch, and extend
ing 4 ga miles eastward to Presto.
He begins grading on that line Nov
ember II.
Out From the Hub
At Firth a road has been graded
eastward to connect with the Wapel-
lo-Presto line. Leaving Firth it
leads east n mile, south " mile,
east 1 mile and south 3 miles. =
Another road has been graded
from the state road at Basalt, east
ward 5 miles to Goshen and IN
miles of it has been graveled.
A connecting link AZ miles long
has been graded from Shelley south
ward to connect with the Presto
road.
On November 10 work will begin
by E. ]. Gardner cutting q new line
from the church above Firth to the
entrance of the Snake river bridge.
This line will extend three miles out
from Firth on the west side of the
river.
Still Another Hub
At a point one mile south of the
Shelley sugar factory connecting
link has been graded three miles to
connect with the Goshen road.
A line has been graded 3k miles
east from Shelley and loading
plant is ready for moving gravel but
we have no transportation to carry
on that work yet. This grading was
done on force account.
The. road from Shelley to Wood
vile is completed four miles thru
Woodville. Snow & Company did the
work, and some changes have been
made in the old line.
Some Crusher Plants
Besides the crusher plants already
there is one ready at
one at Moreland and also
a spur built by the county and rail-
road jointly. The one near the Riv-
cemetery is handling |
about 200 tons of screened gravel |
and sand day, and one at the Gosh
en- gravel hill is handling about $50
IONS daily. This is the best road |
material yet discovered in the
county. 1t has the ingredients that
make it pack hard when put on the
Dad and exposed to the elements.
Bridges and Mixers
We have three bridge gangs; one
EAST of Shelley; one at Moreland and
me near Aberdeen. We have three
cement mixers operated by small
gasoline engines, and they are too
mall to get good results. I wish
We had one of larger caliber so that
when we are ready to pour cement
or a job we could do it up rapidly.

lished," and 1t was published Nov
ember 2. On that date we asked
for cars and could not get them. We
were anxious to ship gravel to COM
plete these bridges, culverts and 81
phons along the way, and now we
are crying for cars and scarcely ever
get one.
Among the Seed Barons
Between Sterling and Springfield
we have graded " miles and the
bridges and culverts are completed
on the three miles leading west from
Springfield. Adolph Classen graded
two niles of it and the rest was done
on what we call force account-7-that
is, we hire force and put men in
charge of the work, all working for
wages.
East of Springfield in the direc-
ton of Pingree is seven miles of new
grade all done but the rock cut where
the road lies across the big hill about
two and a half miles southwest of
Pingree. A twelve foot grade at the
foot of the hill is completed land
cut Of seven feet thru rock on top
of the hill makes a four per cent
grade, and the rock cut is not quite
done. Adolph Claassen has it in
charge,
Pingree and Thomas
John Montgomery has completed
3h miles leading to the southwest
corner of the Pingree townsite, and
John Stephens will finish two miles
leading northeast fro mthere Tues
day. On the same day, l think,
Josephson & Naillon will complete
their section ending at the Swan
Berg corner. Charles L. Brown has
a mile of grade from there eastward,
and L. s. Harvard builds from there
into Thomas townsite, a distance of
two miles. Mr.. Harvard has another
section Of IN miles above Thomas.
From there to the city limits west of
Blackfoot the work was all done by
force account. The grading is all
done on this seven mile stretch, and
about three miles. of crawling.
This section has been torn up a good
while and it will be two or three
weeks yet before we can release it
to travel. We had a crusher plant
at the Augustine farm on the River
side road and it was too light for
the amount of work we had there,
but we thought we could make it do.
When we got part of the surfacing
done it collapsed and it would have
taken nearly all the rest of the sea-
son to get repairs for it, so we had
to haul from the cemetery plant
west of there, longer haul, and it
overtaxed that plant to supply all
demands. We had to delay some of
the work, much as we disliked it.
Sanding the Track
We have sanded, with black sand
that never blows away, stretch of a |
mile and half westward from V. S.
Raymond's place, and a stretch of
two miles westward from Riverside. |
Where the black sand is used there
will be neither dust nor ruts, nor
skidding in wet weather. People will |
need to be careful not to cut the
roads into ruts this winter while |
they are fresh. No vehicle should
ever follow a rut or the least sign
of rut. BY little care on the part
of drivers the roadbed will be pre-
served at the start and it will soon
become hard and tough. On this line
the bridges, culverts and siphons are
about so per cent finished.

Plans for Future
1t is my idea to keep construction
work going as long as we can work
profitably and then knock off till
spring. We had big job getting
our machinery delivered here this
summer and getting our organiza-
ii n into working order, but for
log time it. has been doing effective
work. People who are not accus-
Led to road construction may not
know it, but experienced road men
have been coming here from various
parts Of the state to see our equip
ment and to see what we are doing,
and they all say they would be happy
to have work going on as effectively
in their own counties. 1t is my pur-
pose and intention that when Bing-
ham county gets her road work done
as planned under the present bond
issue, she will have record for bond
sales and road work accomplished
that will be an example for the whole
state to follow and to equal If they
can. We are going to have some
thing like 100000 worth of road ma
chinery on hand and most of it in
very good condition, and if the
county does not want to keep it, it
can be sold and the value of it put
inc more roads and make this ma
chinery do the work before it is de-
livered to the purchasers. l want
to see all of your bond issue turned
into roads before the deals are closed
or else keep the machinery to carry
on the next campaign of road con-
struction which I think people will
demand as soon as they get to using
the system we are now building.
Keep on the Level
About the first of the year there
will be detailed statement of all
our road work, that l think your
readers will go over with keen inter-
est. wish that you would under
take the task of conducting a cam
paign of education to get people to
realize the Importance of driving all
over the roadbed and not driving in
streaks and wearing ruts. You don't
know how it hurts road man after
he has built good roadbed, to see
people driving in streaks and cut
ting right thru a roadbed when they
could just as we'll distribute the
tread all over it and keep it ironed
out smooth. People here have not
given much thought to that matter
and when they have been reminded
of it enough to get the habit they
will feel hurt too when they see any
one looking for ruts to follow.
