BUY FORTY ACRE
FAIR GROUND

The board of County Commis-
sioners, sitting in special session
the 28th., acted favorably upon
the petition of Challis residents
praying for the purchase of 40
acre tract of ground to be used
as fair y around, park and other
purposes for the benefit of the
public generally as prescribed
by law.
The forty acres lying directly
west of the Harry Waters resi-
dence and adjoining the Challis
townsite, was the site chosen.
We have had several fair
grounds in the past on which a
great deal of money had been
expended, only to have the
tract taken away by the owners
and the money thus spent on it
wasted.
The action of the Commission
ers gives US a permanent recrea-
ton ground and all improve
ments made on the same can now
be made with view to perma-
nency.

By Government.
CBy Univer.aI seryiee.1

Steps were taken yesterday by
the American Federation Of Labor
to assist the oricers and board of
directors of the Chicago Postal
Clerks Union. who are being prose
euted by the Postohice Department
on the charge of -pernicious poIit
ieaI activity"
officials OF the department refuse
to comment on the prosecution. II
is understood that John c. Koons,
Assistant Postmaster General snd
Acting Postmaster General in the
absence of Mr.. Burleson. is really
responsible for the prosecution.
oficisIs Of the National Associa-
tion of Postal Employees assert that
the "pernicious political activity" OF
the indicted officers consisted mere
ly in seeking to organize the men
and in leading the fight for higher
salaries for postal employees, which
at present are notoriousIy made,
quate.
Mr.. Burleson is known to be a
relentless foe of union labor. and in
the past two Congresses has sought
to have bills passed which would
make unions among postal employees
illegal and punishable by dismissal
or discipline.
