POCATELLO UNION LABOR
DIGS ITS OWN GRAVE

At meeting of bricklayers held a
few days ago at PocateIlo, the price
for bricklaying for the coming sea-
son was fixed at $1.25 an hour and
for laying hollow brick or tile, $500
an hour, making $40 day for one
and SIG day for the other, based on
an eight-hour day.
1t is to be expected that the man
who mixes the mortar and carries
the brick to the walls, will be paid
in like proportion, the man who hauls
the brick mad the man who makes
the brick, will try to get their share
Of the good pay, and by the time the
grand total is met, the man who
builds anything will be sorry. The
man who has been planning to build
this season will consider whether it
will not be possible for him to get
along without building, and presently
We shall hear complaints from labor
that there Is no building going on,
and nothing to do.
It is pity that these men should
kill their own chances for employ
ment, and there is probably good rea-
son for the raise when viewed from
their standpoint alone, but these are
days when men must view a COM
plexity Of problems such as has sell
dom or never confronted them.
From the peace conference down,
there is completely Of interests, and
those who exercise patience and for

NEW Law PROPOSES

WATER IN JACKSON LAKE
PROMISES GOOD CROPS
But Snowfall In Mountains of Idaho
Has Been Unusually Light Thus
Far This Winter.

The snowfall all through this sec.
ton is said to have been exceedingly
small this season. The rains o. the
last week have made up in a reas-
ure but no definite report has been
received relative to it as yet. The
local weather bureau expects an Of
fetal report the first of next week.
Reports from the Jackson Lake
country indicate that the snowfall
much less than in recent years in
that vicinity. The last report dated
January Is stated that there were
eight inches on the ground at the
dam.
Investigation is being made to find
out how the snowfall in the noun
tains compares with that of other
years and this report will be stated
in its report Of January 10 in regard
to the snowfall.
While the water equivalent is
small, it is too early to estimate the
general prospects for irrigation wa
ter, as much depends upon further
accumulation and packing"
In this connection it can ne said
that there is no danger of failure to
fill the Jackson lake reservoir. There
was about 100000 acre-feet left in
the reservoir at the end of last irri-
CATION season, and the lake has been
filling at normal rate since that
> On January first there was
about 2O3,209 acre-feet in the reser-
voir. Should there be any shortage
in the water supply this year, it will
n. be due to failure ID fill the reser-
voir but to the early falling off of
the natural flow of the Snake river.
noubtleeS ,a'l.n, :hli Ia. ."rlm-
red through the Snake river valley
during the last few days have CEN
siderably increased the snowfall in
the watershed tributary to the ~, cr
Snake river.

THE PARENTS ARE
AT FAULT

Last week we announced the theft
of thousands of dollars worth Of
bank checks and warrants from the
lock boxes of the Blackfoot post Of
fee, some candies and canned goods
from the railroad company, a robe, q
pair Of blankets and stove from
other people. At the request of the
court we left out the names of the
individual boys who committed these
deeds, the theory being that If the
boys tried to make good, it would be
better not to have the bad name fol-
low them thru life, and there is merit
in the idea.
But there are other phases of this
matter that deserves consideration.
The parents who are bringing up
these boys are not blameless, and are
not entitled to protection by the
press. When any Of these boys
brought home a lap robe or a pair of
blankets the parents knew they had
been found or stolen, and there Is a
proper course to take in either case,
besides keeping the goods. II a per-
son is only half-baked in their in
tegrity and wants to keep safe. they
do not keep goods around them that
may have been stolen by strangers
and thrown down by the roaside. If
they are wholly honest they will take
steps to restore the property when
found. If they know there is a pos
sibility that their boys stole the pro-
perty, and they keep it around, they
are not good citizens and the public
should know it.
The family names connected with
the cases mentioned last week are
Pace Cheshire, Showalter, Bacon
and Mills and people living in the
west side of town have been miss
ing all sorts of articles from their
porches and refrigerators. Where It
is found that families live in idleness
and have no income, it is the duty
of the officers and the people of the
community to investigate and put a
stop to any illegal practices that are
going on.
Children are bound to be doing
something and when parents do not
provide sports and means Of recrea-
tion, the children will find some
means of activity. This paper has
advocated giving more attention to
skating Kinks, and various means of
sport and entertainment and the
community is not very responsive.
Such things as the thefts recently an
nounced are natural consequences of
idleness and lack Of interest in the
welfare OF. the children by their
elders.

BINGHAM COUNTY SEED
GROWERS STAND FIRST
Enterprising Farmers of Aberdeen
Springfield Section Bring Home
Eleven Prizes From the
Seed Show

Bingham County maintained her
position as the banner county of Ida
no in the production of fine seeds
by annexing eleven prizes at the
Idaho State Seed Show which was
held at Twin Falls last week. The
excellence Of the Bingham County
prouducts can be well judged by the
TACT that only twelve exhibits were
entered from this county and lust
one display failed to win a prize.
Inc first prize in each case consist
ed OF a beautiful medal and $500 in
money, second prize of $500 and
the third received $500 in money.
The winners from Bingham, ali of
whom are from the Aberdeen-Spring-
Held section, the seed exhibited and
the prizes won are as follows:

The reputation of the local seed
growers is spreading rapidly not
only over the state of Idaho but over
the entire United States. For sever
al years the United States department
OF Agriculture has purchased it's en-
tire supply of Grimm Alfalfa seed
from the Springfield Sec
ton while A. B. Lyman of Excel
sior, Minnesota, the largest distri-
butor OF Grimm Alfalfa seed in the
United States, has several growers
in the Springfield section producing.

distribution. Saturday County A.

possible. He said afterwards he was
thinking of the lots of accounts car
ried for perfectly good, honest men
who cannot pay yet, and who hon.
estly hope to pay. He was thinking
Of how promptly the settlers 60 to
the merchant for aid in building their
new church and for goods for the
treat for the children at the Christ
mas tree and for lots of other things
which the merchant Is glad to help
with, and how promptly some of
these same sellers applaud when an
agitator or organizer goes among
them and abuses the middleman.
Everybody
Little Mean
We want to confess that this world
is full of problems and that while
each man is trying to solve his own
troubles he is apt to step on the
other fellows toes If he is not care
full. These are days when we must
exercise a great deal of patience with
our fellow men, and it is well II we
can pull together and carry our own
burdens cheerfully.
Reverse the
Practice
Prices have been going up for a
good while, and now it will be in
evitable for them to 60 down, but
they should 60 down slowly. Each
man who names prices can do his
duty best by exercising moderation
and rendering as much service as he
can for the time and material he puts
into the deal. There will be no
panic unless the common people
make 1t. Legislators can help hold
things steady, but they cannot do it
all. When the hand of labor is held
idle, 1t is absolute loss, both to that
person and to society, but the per-
sonal loss is greatest. II you can be
doing something to help a little, do
that till something better turns up.
We shall all be prosperous after
while. And that isn't all; we shall
all be angles bye and bye,

WILL RETAIN
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

The matter Of Idaho's councils of
defense has been settled and 1t has
been decided to retain the organiza-
tons as heretofore, one in each
county.
It was thought best to do this
owing to the approaching fifth liberty
loan, which will need the aid Of the
councils.

A merchant said he had recently
been reproached by some dry farmers
for not attending the meetings and
for not spending his time ami money
to help with the new irrigation pro-

more valuable and their trade more
desirable. He said he guessed he had
been a little mean, but that he had
had experiences he could not relate
to them without danger of hurting
their feelings, and he said as little as
