Gill Alexander Badly Burned

Gill Alexander, member of Iron
Molders Union No. 152, met with a
serious and very painful accident at
the Wehrle foundry Monday after
noon while he was pouring off. He
struck his ladle against an unseen OBJ
struction, spilling the melted iron
down his right leg and into his shoe,
resulting in deep and terrible burns.
First aid was applied at the works
and he was hurried to his home, II
Grant street, where proper treatment
to some extent relieved his sufferings.
Several months will probably elapse
before he is able to return to work.

DIRTY WORK UNSUCCESSFUL

The August Bulletin of the Newark
Builders Exchange, containing lot
of slush, truthful and otherwise, has
been placed in the hands of the "open
shop" element, with a view of bolster
ing up the faith and courage Of the
Weakened brethren. Following the
list of officers and committees comes
the alleged Membership Paid Up"
with the names of twenty-siX firms
and individuals, many Of whom have
long since deserted the sinking water
logged craft.
But the joke of the matter lies in
the following slap at the Newark
Leader: "The Leader" is soliciting
for cash advertisements for their
special Labor Day edition for closed
shop. The more you subscribe, the
tighter the shop. Take notice, and
govern yourselves accordingly. Keep
the shop open at both ends and cool
off this hot weather."
The Leader has no comment to
make on the above underhand method
of endeavoring to injure its legitimate
business, we merely refer our readers
to this, our Labor Day edition, as
proof that the squeal of the Builders
Exchange evidently fell upon stony
ground, and did not prevent the
hearty Endorsement and support of a
great majority of the live business
mon of the CITY.

Attractive Prices on OIsmobiles

Special attention is called to Lester
Newkirk's announcement of the latest
prices on the ever popular Oldsmobile

CAN'T MAKE A HORSE DRINK

1t may be within the province of
law to order a license issued to
workman who has been declared in
competent by legally qualified ex-
amining board, but no court has the
power to compel the bosses to hunt
up a job for an unfair man with
union busting" tendencies.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-09-02

The union label stands primarily
for union industry. AS such it is an
indispensable complement of "home
industry" or other shibboleth of busi-
ness, in the mind of the purchaser
who holds principle above local pride.

City Control of Water.

At meeting of the executive com
mittee Of the Commercial Club Fri
day, the campaign to place the admin
istration of the several irrigation
bitches under the control of the city
was endorsed. A canvass for sigma
lures to an agreement to turn over to
the city as trustee all irrigation stock
is in progress, and is being generally
signed. The proposed plan takes
away from water users no rights
they now possess, and the several
companies will continue to exist as
before. No expense will be incurred
by any company without the approval
cf that company, and there will be
no blanket assessments. The only OBJ
ject sought is to place the distribu-
ton of water in the hands of the city,
with the police powers of the city to
enforce its DEGREES of distribution.

EMMETT MANS INvEN.
ton IN DEMAND
Large Factory Being Erected In
Portland to Manufacture
Lumber PiIer.

The lumber piling machine invented
by Make Jackson of this city, and in
which James l.. Stewards interested,
has met with such a favorable recep-
ton that plant estimated to cost
100000 will be erected in Portland,
Ore, to manufacture the device. The
shop that has been building the ma
chimes, employing 20 men, is entirely
inadequate to manufacture the ma
chimes fast enogh to supply the de-
mand. Emmett friends of Mr.. Stew
ard and Mr.. Jackson will be pleased
to learn of their success.
A recent issue of the Portland Jour
nal contains the following:
"A plant estimated to cost approx
imately 100000 viii be erected at
the corner of Twenty-second and Nj
colai streets by A. Young & Son for
the manufacture of a lumber piling
machine. The concern already has
shop in operation at TIA Nicolai St.,
with 20 employees on the payroll.
"The new device was invented by
Make Jackson of Emmett, Idaho, and
is known as the Jackson lumber ele-
vator. One of the machines is being
demonstrated at Portland mill and
is handling an average of 5000 feet
of lumber per hour.
Economy of ground space occu-
pied is one of the principal features
of the machine, and it may be operat-
ed with equal facility in piling or un-
piling lumber, according to the manu-
facturers. The tower and motor for
driving the endless chain which car
ries the lumber are built on a truck
which occupies the same alley space
as lumber buggy.
"The height of the tower is 80 feet,
an increase of so per cent over the
customary level of piling lumber.
The machine weighs about 1000
pounds and may be operated either
by gas or electric motor. Officials
Of the company expect wide distri-
button of the Jackson piier and an
sicipate the employment of a large
number of men by the new industry"

COUNTY ROADS UNDER
ONE MAN
L. ]. Phelan Appointed Road Su-
pervisor and viii Have
Charge of Road Work.

At a meeting of the county com.
missioners Friday, L. ]. Phelan was
appointed road supervisor for the en-
tire lower portion of Gem county in
place of the old system of dividing the
county into road districts with an
overseer for each district. The Mon
tour highway district and the upper
portion of the county will be operated
as in former years, until the new
plan has been given a trial and its
merits tested.
No better man could be secured for
this work than Mr.. Phelan. For
many years he had charge of the road
building program of the forest ser
vice, and his greatest success was the
building of the famous road up the
South Fork of the Payete river, which
stands out as one Of the great roads
of the state.
Mr.. Phelan took hold Of his new
job at once and is now out looking
over the roads and laying plans for
the summers work. The county has
purchased Dodge truck for his use

CALDWELL TAKES THE.
OPENING GAME
Emmett High School Quintet
Makes Strong Showing
Against Fast Opponents

In a game characterized by fast
playing, and with the result in doubt
until the last few minutes of the close,
the Emmett High school basketball
team was defeated Saturday by Cald-
well High. Score 20 to rs.
The effect of the short time the
team had been in training was evident
in the final minutes of the last half.
Time after time the ball was thrown
on the rim of the basket, only to drop
outside. Three field throws would
have turned defeat into victory. For
Caldwell, Jensen was a particular
star, being credited with field bas-
kets. Specht counted with baskets
on fouls. Brown for Emmett scored
8 field baskets and 8 fouls. Cochran
scored field throws and Skinner 1.
The lineup was as follows:
Emaett-Skinner and Brown for
wards; Cochran, center; Soule and FL
lis, guards.
Caldwell-Royce and Jensen, for
wards; Specht, center, Ridener and
Teach, guards.
As preliminary, the Second High
School team and the Athletics staged
a fast game. But the stars of former
days were too much for the young
sters and the Athletics won 81 TO D.
The High school was represented By
Fuller, Carroll Davis, Smoke, Guy
Knox and Earl Burt The Athletics
by Frank and Coils Carter, Bob Par
rish, Gray and Whitman The Athle-
tics scored IA field goals.

CIGARETTES TO MINORS
P. E o. and Loyal Legion Demand
Enforcement of Law.

The alarming increase in the use of
cigarettes by minors in Emmett has
stirred mary of the women of this
city to activity and to demand the
strict enforcement of the statutes
governing the sale and use of cigar
cites. Two societies this week
passed resolutions in regard to this
fragrant violation of law and calling
upon officials to vigorously enforce
it. These two societies should have
the backing Of every organization and
every citize min this splendid crusade
to put stop to an evil that is inJu-
rious and corruptive in its effect
upon the physical and moral being of
every boy addicted to the habit.
The ladies of the p E. o. society
of Emmett at their last meeting on
Jan. II, passed the following resolu-
ton:
Whereas, it has been constantly no
ticed by the ladies of this society that
the law forbidding the selling and
smoking of cigarettes to and by mi
nors is being continually and openly
violated, and
Whereas, we believe that this con-
dition of affairs will result in ex-
treme injury to the health and eco
.nomic standing of our young boys,
and
Whereas, we belive that such ooen
violations of the law lead to disre-
spect of all laws and the officers of
law enforcement, which is in direct
opposition to the teachings and princi-
pies of good citizenship;
Now we do therefore resolve, that
the authorities of the City of En-
NETT should at once take steps to en-
force all the laws and in particularly
that law which pertains to the selling |
of cigarettes to minors and to the
smoking of cigarettes by them in
public places and to rigid law en-
forcement to instill respect of our |
laws and of our officers of law en-
forcement in the young boys of this
community.
{ The ladies of the Loyal Legion at
a recent meeting joined in the move
ment and adopted the following res
olution:
Be it resolved, that we stand be-
hind the enforcement of the law to
prevent the sale of cigarettes to mi
nors.-Ladies Loyal Legion, Emmett.
Other resolutions in protest were
passed today by the U. A. Club of the
bench and the w. C. T. U. of the
city. The resolutions Of the w. C. T.
u. are unavoidably crowded out, but
will be printed next week.

PUMP EQUIPMENTS IS
DUPLICATED
New Machinery Installed In
creases Pumping Capacity
to $50 Gallons Minute.

The new pump which has been in
process of installation at the city
pumping station for two weeks, was
tested Monday morning in the pres
ence of Councilman Barbour, Davis
Haylor, Knox and Peterson, and its
efficiency was not only up to specifi-
cations, but was also highly satisfac-
tory to the councilmen present, which
included the water committee
The new equipment consists of a
centrifugal pump and 20 horsepow-
er electric motor, and is an exact dup
licate of the pump and motor installed
several years ago. 1t has capacity
of 1926 gallons per minute. The equip
ment was purchased from the Fair
banks Morse company of Salt Lake
city.
The installation of this additional
equipment removes big load of care
from the minds of the city admins
tration. Few know that the city has
been living over volcano for over q
year, and only good luck in not having
any serious conflagraticn has prevent
ed probable serious property loss
When the first pump of this type was
installed it was thought adequate pro-
vision had been made for many years.
But the rapid increase of customers
and the consequent increased con-
of water has taxed the cap
acity of the former equipment to the
limit and left little surplus for use
in case of fire. The new pump in
creases the capacity from 325 gal
Ions per minute to double that amount
The tank holds $4,000 gallons when
full. In the winter time four tanks
day, or 100000 gallons, are used by
customers. But in the summer, the
quantity used is six tanks per day,
within 1900 gallons of the pumps
capacity.
The mayor and councilmen are TO
be commended for their zeal in safe
guarding the property interests of the
.ity and in providing their constitu-
,nts with an abundant supply of pure
water for domestic use.

TO
HOLD MEETING
Annual Meeting of Payette Associa-
ton Here January 81.

The annual meeting of the Emmett
Payette Woolgrowers association will
be held in the Commercial Club room
on Monday, January 81, at 10 a. m.
The Idaho Forest Association will
hold their meeting at the same place
on the following day.
These associations are made up of
the woolgrowers holding grazing
permits on the Payette and Idaho ma
tional forests and get together once
each year to discuss matters affect
ing the industry, elect officers and
plan with the forest officers the next
grazing allotments.
Each stock association elects an ad-
visory board at its annual meeting to
handle its business with the forest Of
ficials during the balance of the year
These boards have the privilege of in
vestigating and being heard at all
times on matters pertaining to the
grazing privileges of its members,
and through their action most of the
differences between the stockman and
forest service have been ironed out
during the past few years.
This system of allowing the inter
ests under supervision an authorized
voice in the making of the rules and
regulations governing the industry af-
fected has made the forest service
one of the most democratic and popu-
lar of all our government bureaus.
