RAILWAY RATE
RAISE IS FELT
Fare to Adjacent Cities
Increased; Coal
Advances

The recent raise in railway fares
and freight rates in beginning to
make itself felt in Blackfoot. The
fare to Boise is now SLIPS, includ-
ing war tax, whereas the old rate
was $40. To go to Salt Lake it
costs the traveller $7.65 and to Poca-
tella the fare is now 81 cents. The
fare to Idaho Falls is $104 now as
against Sc cents before the raise.
The only place one can go to now
without paying an increase is to
Mackay and Aberdeen and way
points. The new rate does not af-
feet this branch line, owing to the
fact that the fare has always been 4
cents a mile.
Freight rates which went up ap-
proximately % per cent are being
felt by the average consumer here
more in the purchase of coal than in
other commodities at the present
time. Coal was selling at $40 a ton
before the raise in rates but now is
worth $11.25.

done. Biologists have drilled test
we'll that proved to be the discovery
we'll of the field.
"The production of this first we'll
was small compared with wells in

ly commenced on the American Falls
reservoir, but the department of rec
lamation has opened offices there
and are taking preliminary steps,
securing rights of way and getting
title to property that will be flood
ed. It Is not expected that con-
struction work will commence until
about the first, of the year. The last
announcement we made about this
matter placed it at September, 1921,
but plans have matured rapidly since
then, and January 1, 1921, is con-
sidered more likely date for actual
construction work to begin.
Some. Gross Mistakes
The matter has been talked of for
SO long and reports have been made
in so many different ways, that many
people have come to understand that
construction has been under way for
some time. The reports of the
prospective construction having been
started some eight or nine years
ago. Judge o. r. Baum is an Ameri-
can Falls man, and he was down at
Preston, Idaho, few weeks ago and
some one asked him what the chance
was for getting employment there on
the new reservoir. He replied that
the construction work had not COM
menced and the man seemed very
much surprised, and exclaimed, "You
don't mean to tell me that you're
not working on the reservoir, do
you?" Another man at Minidoka a
few weeks ago stated that he was
on his way to American Falls to
try to secure contract for gravel
work on the reservoir. On being as
sured that no work was in prog
ress and that they were not in a
position to let contracts yet, he
seemed incredulous and said that he
was going on up there and have a
look at it any way. He was deter
mined that construction work was
under way, or soon would be, and
he was not satisfied to 60 back un-
til he had seen for himself A fam
H. landed in American Falls last
spring ready for employment and
when they got off the train and in
Quired for the office in charge Of
the construction work they were
very much astonished to find that
nothing was doing. They stated that
they had come from Kansas City;
that they had paid an employment
bureau there in good round figures
to secure them a job and they had
been assigned to work on the Ameri-
can Falls reservoir, and had wait
ed long time and travelled many
miles to take up the work, and now
It looked like they would have to
look for another job until a con-
struction camp was established.
Government Controls Construction
The federal government thru the
department of reclamation will have
charge of construction at American
Falls. Wherever they undertake
large work they establish buildings
and offices and provide all the COM
forts and necessities for keeping peo-
pie and families comfortable and for
keeping up the pep and spirits of
their workmen. Examples of this
have been found at Minidoka, at the
Arrow Rock dam and many other
