OBEY THE SIGNALS
OF THE FLAGMAN

The people of Blacffoot asked the
railroad company to furnish a flag
man at the crossing of Alice street,
and they supplied one. The purpose
was to furnish information to the
travelling public so they might know
when to eros and when to wait and
keep out of danger. The fiagmap
watches and studies, and signals the
travellers and when they observe his
signals they are safe.
But people who get in hurry and
run the crossing in the face OF
danger, must learn not to do these
things or they must learn to take the
consequences Of rash acts at the mo-
ment and answer in court if they
escape accident with the trains.
Some have been doing that, and be-
sides beinb an insult to the fiagman
and an offense against common law
and order, it is made misdemeanor
that is punishable in court. One OF
our young men has been used as an
example. to bring the lesson home
to us all, and it is now UP to us to
take notice and keep our place when
hte fagman signals.
In the July number Of the Ameri-
can Magazine is an article entitled,
what Fool Things Do You DO?"
And it should be read by everybody
viii rides or walks One unique
statement is makes is that people
driving cars get in. front of trains
when trains are coming in plain
sight, and others, bless their hearts
drive right into the broadside of
moving trains. 1t goes on to say that
nobody knows why they do it, for
they never like to explain.
A good many people approach
movin gt1ain and wait till it passes
and then, without looking, walk
right in front of another train that
is approaching by the side of the
one they were watching. This is the
source of some of our most distress
ing accidents, and it is one which the
fiagman- studies and tries to keep
people out of. When you are facing
a crossing, let your mind run back
to that good old slogan which the
early railroad builders placed at
every crossing, and which we have
come to regard as a simple and al
most silly warning, Loot out for
the cars"

THE GREATEST WEDDING
OF EAST AND WEST

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found an article outlining plan for
the thirteen western states to bring
the national congress west next year
on special trains on sightseeing
and get-to-gether trip. The subject
is worthy of the thoughtful consid-
Grafton of all western people, and af
fords rare opportunity if we will
embrace it.
Trainloads of
Statesmen
The matter originated with the
tour of the congressional special thru.
Idaho last week. 1t contemplates
raising money in the west to secure
special trains of pullman sleepers to
bring the members of the senate and
house of representatives on tour
of several weeks thru the western
states to study our resources, and
especially as they relate to reclama-
tion.
The west needs the cooperation
of the east but is not asking any
gifts of it. But it does ask for some
loans from the federal government,
to be paid back as interest is paid
to banks and bonding houses.
The east needs the west in ways
and to an extent that it does not ap
preciate, because so few of its men
have come west and studied our
commercial needs and noted the
tremendous market it would create
for their goods if we could secure
loans to carry on construction work
on our storage and reclamation
projects. For example, the American
Falls reservoir without the proposed
new power canals and generating
plants, can be built at cost of some
thing like fifteen million dollars,
and it is estimated that the farmers
of the Snake river valley lost about
twenty-five million dollars in crops
in 1919 by not having stored water
to meet their needs. When the
Snake river valley loses that much
money, the east loses heavily too,
because it cuts off our purchasing
power for manufactured goods that
we want to buy and which we would
buy if we had the money or the
crops to ship east to give us the bank
credits.
Six Hundred
Officials
What is true of our valley is true
of multitude of other valleys and
districts all over the west, and east
ern people cannot be expected to APP
preciate the enormity of that prob
lem until they travel in the west and
meet people who can take them out
over the country and point it out to
them. In the United States senate
are ninety-six members besides the
speaker and attaches, and there are
435 members in the house of repre-
sentatives besides the attaches. When
we speak of attaches we mean a
corps of workers who help conduct
the work of the senate and house,
most of whom would not need to
make the trip, but there are the
secretaries of senators and represen-

Manhattan witnessed such excitement as
prevailed today. Trading on both the
Stock and Curb Exchange was ordered
suspended for the day a few minutes
after the explosion occurred, and from
then on lower New York forgot its

DEVELOPMENT FOR ALASKA
 TOBE SLOGAN

SEATTLE, May 13 (by Associated Press) ).-"The committee intends to ascertain the practical demands of Alaska rather than to visualize possi- bilities," said Colonel Alfred H. Brooks, chairman of the interdepart- mental committee which is holding hearings in this city relative to prob lems of transportation and develop ment in Alaska, at a dinner given to the members of the committee last night. ss.
 More and better transportation for Alaska was the keynote sounded by every speaker.
 Colonel Brooks declared that the greatest problem was to get people to realize the value of Alaska resources. It's coal deposits are undeveloped, he said, and the first copper mine to be patented was yet untouched. The com mittee was friendly, he asserted, and understood and appreciated the needs of the territory.
