COAL MINERS TO
RETURN TO WORK
N ~
Part Settlement of Coal
Strike is
Effected

The striking soft coal miners were
under orders August 16 to return to
work for the first time in twenty
weeks at scattered points in seven
states. This result OF the part set
tlement of the strike only affects a
small minority of the 100000 soft
coal diggers, but union officials were
on their way back home to seek to
make peace with other employers.
While remaining in Cleveland,
Ohio, for a days rest before enter
ing the peace negotiations with
anthracite operators at Philadelphia,
President John L. Lewis, Of the
mine workers, predicted that soft
coal operators generally would &C
cept the agreement made in Cleve-
land. He also said he was hopeful
of the result of the conference with
the anthracite operators, who en-
ploy $4,000 men.
Before leaving for home, district
union officials who attended the con-
ference at Cleveland sent invitations
for five meetings of operators with
the view of concluding peace. Two
Pennsylvania associations of opera
tors were asked to meet the union
chiefs in separate meetings on
Friday.
The general agreement continues
the old wages and working condi-
tions including the check-off of
union dues, to April 1, 1928, and
provides for machinery for negotiat-
ing, but not arbitrating next years
scale. The agreement also calls for
a national convention of operators
and miners of the bituminous ter
ritory on October 2, for selecting a
fact-finding commission to investi-
gate the coal industry.
It is expected that within fore
night the bituminus coal miners will
be producing to full capacity with
bright hopes for more coal mines to
follow suite.

DEFICIT ON CHAU-
TAUQUA GUARANTEE
Seventy-four Publ c
Spirited Men Pay
Deficit

There were "a Blackfoot men who
signed the contract with the Ellison
White Chautauqua company this year
as guarantors, promising them q GER
tain amount of money above the
gate receipts. This money they ex-
pected to raise from the sale of sea-
son tickets, but the people fell short
and failed to back them in some
thing that was for community bene-
fit, and making a deficit of $829.54
in the sum promised to the chautau-
qua company. This means that each
of the seventy-four men will have
to pay $11.21 out of their pockets
to pay for entertainment that the
people receive.
The chautauqua tent has been
filled to capacity nearly every night,
which shows that the people had the
money to buy season tickets, but
preferred to buy single admission
tickets and thus failed to support
their local people. Blackfoot is for
tunate in having men like the guar
antors, who are loyal to the people
and who are willing to stand the
burden of expense that the people
might have the clean and instruc-
tive entertainment that only chau-
tauqua can bring. The following is

Want Freight Rate
! Cut on Potatoes

Potato growers of Idaho particu-
larly those of the Boise section will
have to have a reduction in freight
rates to eastern points or suffer a
i,eavy loss is tue message sent by the
Chamber of Commerce, at Boise. to
Senator Borah in Washington.
Senator Borah has taken the mat
ter up and has sent inquiry as to the
conditions. An emergency freight
rate is asked to cover the conditions
as it is pointed out that under the
prevailing market conditions 1t is
not possible for Idaho to place her
potatoes on the market in competi-
ton with the eastern grown crop.
It was shown Senator Borah that
Under the present freight rates little
or nothing is left the grower to pay
selling charges or to furnish any
profit, and that unless there is some
immediate action the early potato
crop of the western part of the state
is to create loss for the grower
instead of a profit.

Condition of the
Blackfoot Schools

The financial statement Of the
condition of the Blackfoot school
treasury is published in this issue
for the information of the public,
and their attention is directed to the
fact that by cutting out some Of
what were considered the least
necessary branches the cost of op-
Grating the school is reduced few
thousand dollars, the levy being re-
duced this year from nineteen in
1921 to eighteen mills for 1872.
The laws of Idaho provide that
publication Of school accounts shall
be made in such form as will con-
vey to the readers reasonably full
information regarding school ex-
penditures, and the form in which
it appears in this issue is what the
board and clerk judged would
answer the need of the public and
the provisions of the law.
As you look 1t over, consider
whether the board have satisfied
your demand for good schols and
lower taxes.

KU KLUX KHAN

There are persistent rumors to
the effect that the Ku Klux Klan is
to perfect an organization locally;
that Boise already organized with
over 1000 is the beginning Of state
organization with Pocatello, Twin
Falls and Idaho Falls to come next.
The Klan as it is organized in a
number of southern and western
states, has taken prominent part
in state and local elections and In
the correction of number of civic
matters that in the opinion Of Klan
members the law was slow to reach.
There is tendency locally to
rather encourage the Klan idea,
statements having been made that
the Klan could find a fertile field for
it's activities in the town and county.

DAIRY EXPERTS
AWAKEN FARMERS
Show Big Possibilities
of Idaho in Dairy
Industry

Bringing what is said to be one
of the greatest opportunities ever
offered to the people of western
state, the party of eastern dairy ex-
perts and representatives of big
agricultural publications invited to
Idaho by Governor Davis, arrived to
investigate the region for possible
development as center Of the coun-
try's rapidly growing dairy prod
ucts industry.
With Wisconsin, the present CEN
ter of dairy farming, unable to ex-
pand further, New York state de-
creasing in production, Minnesota
with very little increase in develop
ment possible and the consumption
of dairy products increasing rapidly,
these big producers and experts are
looking to southern Idaho as the
ideal region into which the dairy in
dustry can expand.
The visit Of the eastern experts is
expected to have twofold object,
one being the showing to Idaho the
possibilities of it's own territory and
opportunity if intelligently
grasped, of tremendous development
in business, population and import
ance. In fact, it is limited that as
direct result of this trip and that
of Mr.. J. l.. Kraft, noted dairy prod
ucts distributor, some months ago,
that the establishment of chain OF
some thirty cheese factories in Idaho
is possibility for the near future.
Mr.. Kraft is also a member of the
the present party. The second OBJ
ject which is Of equal Importance
is the gaining of direct information
by the dairy experts and agricultural
journals for use in eastern dairy dis.
tricts for the guidance Of dairymer
there in expanding their activities
into the Idaho region, which, 1t II
pointed out, can support 80 times a!
many cows on given acreage al
the richest Wisconsin land.
Tremendous publicity for thu
southern Idaho region is expected a!
direct result of the visit of east
ern experts. One member of thu
party, ]. H. Frandson, who was for
merly professor Of dairying at the
University of Idaho, is dairy editor
of the Cappers Farm Press, repre-
senting the Nebraska Farm Journal

Submit Bids for
Crawling Highway

The board of county commits
sioners received five bids for
graveling about thirteen miles of
the Yellowstone Highway be-
tween Blackfoot and the Bonne-
willie county line. They have sub
mitted the bids to the state high
way commission and recon-
mended that the $58,826.73 bid
of Glein & Shafer Of Pocatello be
accepted.
If the bid is accepted by the
state commission the work will
be pushed to completion this fall
if possible, which will give Bing-
ham county a highway equal to
adjoining counties. The expenses
, Of this work will be divided be-
tween the county and the federal
government and the state high
way department.

NOVEL DISPLAYS AT
HENRY STAMPEDE
Thousands Witness the
Changes Of a
Century

A novel social event and reunion
occurred last week at Henry, Idaho,
that carries a greater significance on
account Of the fact that it marks the
ninety-ninth anniversary of the first
event of it's kind in the tntermoun-
tain country and the 0ne-hundredth
anniversary of the coming of the
100 young men who came out from
st. Louis and started the custom,
making their first reunion in the
summer of 1928.
The stampede and reunion
staged at Henry, Idaho, twenty-five
miles north of Soda Springs, was a
masquerading Of costumes and a
carrying out of customs of pioneer
days, and it attracted people from
about 100 miles in every direction.
People went from the Blackfoot
country, from Aberdeen and Ameri-
can Falls, from Pocatello, and other
places in the southeast besides some
of the towns Of northern Utah, and
from Jackson Hole and places ell
over southwestern Wyoming, from
Idaho Falls and the upper Snake
river valley.
An interesting feature about this
trek is that from these various To-
calities they went on horseback and
In wagons. They also went by auto
mobiles, and most of them carried
their beds and provisions with them
and camped wherever night over
took them, as did the trappers and
traders of old.
People making this modern trip
caught the pioneer spirit and as they
fell in with one another on the
mountain roads they hailed each
other with the same cordial greet.

THIRD PARTY MAY
Be ORGANIZED
Borah is Involuntary
Center Third Party
Movement

WASHINGTON - Senator. Borah
of Idaho is becoming the invOlun-
tary center of third party move
ment which is beginning to be mark
ed by the insistence Of its demands
that Borah step out and lead po-
litical revolt.
Letters are pouring into B0rah's
offices from men and women of al
most every shade of political opin-
ion announcing their dissatisfaction
with the two old parties and urging
Borah to take the lead in uniting
the politically restless in the United
States under a new organization's 8
banner.
The one respect in which all these
letters always agree is in the state
ment that neither the Republican, nor
the Democratic party is longer capa-
BILE of national leadership.
Political bankrupts'' and similar
phrases are employed over and over
by Borah's correspondents to de-
scribe their opinions of the two ma
jor parties.
Astute political leaders of expert
ence are also considering the third
party idea.
One of the best known progress
sives Of the 1912 revolt has already
urged Borah to consider seriously
the attempt to unite all liberals and
the dissatisfied Republicans and
Democrats in new party.
To the calls of individual citizens
and political leaders alike Borah has
declined thus far to make any an
swer that commits himself.
In urging the need of new party
those who write to Borah give these
among the reasons:
Dissatisfaction with congress, par
ticularly the leadership there; ap-
parent inability Of the two old par
ties to formulate definite policies
based on the good of the whole peo-
pie; high taxes; the tariff bill; un-
employment.

RAIL and UNION
LEADERS MEET
Harding Waits 70 r
Outcome of the
Conference

Railroad executives and railroad
labor organization leaders reached
an agreement August 16 to hold an
other conference Thursday, August
II, in New York, to seek a settle
ment of the shopmen's strike. This
caused President Harding to refrain
for q short time from making his
expected report to congress and
country on the strike situation.
Plans made for the reception of his
communication Thursday at a joint
session of the house and senate con-
sequently were understood to be. on
the verge of revision Wednesday
night, as the president was repre-
sented as being desirious Of with
holding his statement of the case IL
the union chiefs and the railroad
presidents could hold out any pro
spect of mutually satisfactory
settlement.
Heads of the five organizations of
train service employees are the only
ones meeting personally with the
railroad executives, but the heads of
the other organizations are within
call if any settlement is reached that
would affect them.
The president OF the Southern
railway announced early this week,
after attempting unsuccessfully to
deal separately with the striking
unions on the basis of granting them
the seniority demand, that the
Southern would proceed to employ
outside men, and has issued state
ment declaring that "people all over
the south y now demand that
this strike be fought out"
Salt Lake City has been cut of
from the coast on account of the
recent strike and California is prac-
tically isolated from the U. S. as far
as TRANSPORTATION is concerned. Big
fruit growers in California are fac.
ing ths prospects of the loss Of al
most their entire crop of early
fruits if the strike is not settled
within a few days.

LOOKING FOR SEED

Thursday and Friday, twelve men
from Franklin county, in the south
ern part of Idaho, came up through
Bingham county looking for potato
seed for next year. They report
that they see just about as much di-
sease on some of the farms here as
they have in their county but also
they see some exceptionally good po-
tatoes where the men growing them
have been careful in selecting and
preparing their seed for planting
and in cultivation and watering.
