CONTRACTOR ON N. & S. ROAD
KILLED NEAR WHITEBIRD THURSDAY

and started down a steep in
cline he wanted to shift gears,
and in some manner lost control
of the big truck. The four men
with him jumed and saved their
lives. He was advised to jump
by his comrades but told them
that "he would ride her to the
bottom of the hill" The truck
in its journey to the bottom of
the hill upset and crushed him
to death.
He was a married man, having
only a few days ago moved his
family to Grangeville.
This makes the second accl-
dent to happen on the White
bird grade in the last six months
that has proven fatal.

TAXES ARE HIGHER.

There has been considerable
space donated by the newspapers
in Idaho the last two months re-
garding the taxes this year.
Some contended that taxes
would be no higher then they
were last year while others stat
ed they would be much higher.
In many instances these ar
guments were set forth only for
political effect. The truth of
the matter is that taxes are
higher, a statement that no one
especially in this section of the
country will deny since receiving
their official tax notice this
week.

Owing to the lights and power
being out of commission Thurs

too weak to properly run our In

ESCH, CUMMINS
BILLS OPPOSED

Heads of fourteen railroad unions
will meet in Washington this week to
plan their fight against the Cummins
and Esch railroads bills, now before
congress.
The gathering of railroad men in
which heads of the four great brother
hoods will have prominent part will
be preliminary to meeting on
Dec. IS. of the heads of ali interna.
tional unions affiliated with the A. F.
of l..
At this meeting, the strength of the
entire body of organized labor, lead
ers. assert will be placed behind the
rail mems declaration of opposition to
the Cummins and Esch measures
which, labor chiefs say, deny the right
to strike,
The Cummins bill, which has been
reported favorably by te senate in
terstate commerce committee, but
which has not been finally acted upon
by either branch of congress, contains
a specific anti-strike provision. Rail.
road men have said passage Of such
a measure might cause the trouble it
seeks to prohibit.
The Esch bill has passed the house
but has not been considered by the
senate AS amended by the house on
the insistence Of railroad men, the
measure continues in operation the
present system of voluntary arbitra-
ton boards.
Joker" Found, Claim
Since passage of the Esch measure
however, railroad men say they have
found a ''joker" which makes it even
more Objectionable than the Cummins
bill. The section which the railroad
employees regard as s'joker" reads
at shall be the duty of all carriers
subject to this act and their agents
officers and employees to exert every
reasonable effort to avoid interruption
of action of carriers growing out Of
any controversy or dispute over wages
working conditions or discipline OF
employees"
This provision s followed by a sec
ton imposing heavy fines and prison
sentences on any one violating any
section OF the act.

FIRST NUMBER
LECTURE COURSE

If the first number of the high
school lecture course is fair index
of what the entire course is to be, it
deserves the support of the entire city.
The Minneapolis Opera Company
opened the course with an excellent
and varied musical program. The
quartet is unusually well balanced
gram was divided into two parts. The
first part consisted of quartets, and
solos by each member of the quartet
the violinist and the pianOist. The
music was of the better class,
but not to classic to be popular. The
company was generous with encores
in response to the appropriations of
the audience. The second part was a
song comedietta entitled "The Gypsy
Trail" in which the tenor DISCUSSES
himself as a distinguished stranger
and has much merriment in fooling
the soprano and alto who are engag-
ed in domestic duties around the
campfire. The joke is SO enjoyed that
is in love with the tenor's sister, the
alto. The tenor resumes his disguise
as the bassO comes on the scene sing
ing. He ardently woos the alto The
joke succeeds so we'll that tragedy
is averted only by the timely remov-
al of the disguise. The entertainment
was altogether wholesome and delight
full
The next number of the course will
be given in February by DR.. William
S. Sadler, noted surgeon, author,
teacher and lecturer. The doctor is a
very able and entertaining expounder
Of right living, and his lecture will
not only be exceedingly interesting but
highly profitable as well. The two
other numbers are Miss Sarah Mildred
Wilmer, famous interpreter of 1itera-
ture, and the quartet of the very high
est class possessing an international
reputation. 1t will be necessary to sell
hundred more season tickets to
make the course a financial success
and the community will surely want
to make it that.

FEEBLE MINDED
UNDER KNIFE

Seventy-six inmates of state homes
for feeble minded were operated on
under the state sterilization law in
the six months ending Aug. %, 1919
according to official figures just re-
ceived at Madison. Eighty percent of
those operated on were women.
Statistics show that after success
full operations 20 percent Of the pa
tents have been paroled by the state
board Of control to relatives and
friends.
Surgical operations upon persons in
state institutions to prevent con-
tinued propagation of feeble minded
in the state is made possible by the
sterilization law passed some years
ago. Operations have been perform
ed for some years although statistics
have not been made public. Opera
tons are conducted only in the
summer when adequate hospital
facilities are assured.
The policy followed in this state is
to operate only on the feeble minded
of the two highest grades. In such
cases parole generally follows the,
operation. The legal requirements in
operations of this type are lengthy
all relatives being served with per-
sonal notices of the pending opera
ton.
Reform authorities in the state
have long been agitating free use

all clubs must start training on the
same date and notified the Boston and
BROOKLYN clubs that they may start
March 10 without mourning a penalty.

American league, conferred today with
Col. Jacob Ruppert, president Of the
New York Americans and a member
OF the commission to select n new
chairman Of the national commission.

mtttees appointed by the two leagues
to name a chairman.
