BY The Way

Henry Ford, who gets a great deal
of publicity as a man of good works,
has bought 10000 tons of rails in Bel
GUM. The marlborough Rapid Tran
sit Company, New York, is negotiat-
ing for 5000 tons and it is said it will
save $13 ton if it can get the terms
Ford got. So Ford must have saved
that amount per ton.
Henry Ford sells fiivvers to Amer
lean workmen who are able to buy
fiivvers because they earn fair wages.
But they could not earn fair wages if
all American industry did what Ford
did when he went to Belgium for his
steel rails.
Seeking out the lowest paid work
ers is short-sighted policy, and Henry
Ford ought to know this.
That fair play for conyicts is justi-
fed not only from the humane stand
point, but from the standpoint of
results is demonstrated by Canada
experience with modern prison meth
DDS.
E. j.. McMurray, Solicitor General
for Canada, recently told the Kiwanis
Club of Ottawa that more far-sighted
and humane methods in the Canadian
prison system are having their re-
suits.
Mr.. McMurray referred in particu-
lar to the parole system, adopted in
1899. Of the 1885 prisoners paroled
since then more than 14,S0O had
smade good" he said.
The speaker pointed out that mod
ern methods Of punishment are two
fold: to deter others from crime and
to reform those who have erred. Pris-
oners serve half their time before
subject to parole and the whole sys-
tenn is based on merit and the conduct
of the men, he said.
The address of Mr.. McMurray in
dictated Enthusiastically that Canada is
finding that it pays to treat human
beings justly and fairly. Certain
States in the United States having
archaic and barbarous prison systems
might study the experience of Canada
with profit.
Confding persons who have hoped
that the Pennsylvania Railroad might
modify its policy toward labor are due
for a shock when they read details Of
the company's plan for holding an
election Of "empioye representatives
in February

Of the election shows that the Penn.

RECORD IN ILLINOIS
INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS

By International Labor News Servict
CHICAGO, Feb. 5.--Industrial &C.
cidents in Illinois in 1928 reached 9
total of $3.50, the worst record in
the history Of the State.
The accidents increased 5000 over
1922, q growth Of one-third in one
year, while s11,O0O,0OO, the cost in
compensation awards, was the lowest
since the workmens' compensation
act was passed. The total wage loss
is estimated at $4,000, 900.
There were CTS fatalities in Illinois
industry. Despite the millions Of dol
lars spent on safety devices. 1923
saw what r. d. Calm, chief statisti-
clan Of the State Labor Department,
describes as "a slaughter Of unprece-
dented proportions"
Authoritative figures for other
States are somewhat fragmentary. In
Massachusetts, there has been q drop
in tabulate injuries, but in 1922 they
still aggregated $1,000. Is against
81, 900 in 1919.
In Pennsylvania accidents reported
for the first ten months OF 1924 were
$4,000, as against 147,000 for the
first ten months Of 1920 and $4,000
for 1921. =
In coal mining in the United States
there were 2,4b2 men killed in 1928,

method to prevent the workers from
electing men of their own choosing.
The February election is for teleg-
raphers and the election was ordered
despite the recent vote taken by d.
rection of the United States Railroad
Labor Board, in which the telegraph
ers employed on the Pennsylvania vot-
ed A to / in favor of representation
by the Order Of Railroad Telegraph
ers, a national Organization.
The Pennsylvania has made it clear
that it will not permit the men a fan
choice by inserting in the notice sent
to the photographers a provision that
any one accepting the nomination
must be an "employe Representatives
and not representative of the union
In the election last year the employs
representatives" appeared before tbs
Railroad Labor Board and declared
they were representatives of the ma
tional union. It is reported that thii
clause was inserted in the nomination
blank this year to prevent a repeti
ton of this case.
The Pennsylvania has served notic'
that it has not experienced changs

SEVERAL CATTLE
SHIPMENTS MADE
Two Cars of Cattle Shipped
Out Last Tuesday; Others
The Last Of The
Week

The local cattle raisers will get
some consolation out of the fact
that the cattle market seems to be on
the upgrade and buyers are now go
ing over this territory and are pay
ing good prices for most anything
that they can get. In fact there has
been such a demand for cattle here
during the past menth that many
local farmers who wanted to add to
their herds have been unable to do so
locally.
Two cars of cattle were shipped
out from the local stock yards last
Tuesday. These cattle will be un-
loaded at Glenns Ferry, where they
will be fed for a short time before
being sent on east They were pur-
chased by a Fairfield buyer, who also
purchased fifty-eight head from
Worth S. Lee This stock was pur-
chased for the Davis Meat Company,
of Boise.

CITY STREETS
BEING REPAIRED

The grader belonging to the local
highway district has been loaned to
the city and for the past week has
been busy grading the many streets
in this city, putting them in excel
lent condition for the coming sum
mer. 1t is understood that the city
dads will get busy in the near fu-
ture in the repairs of Front street.
Many of the business men are look
ing forward to the announcement by
the Village Council to the effect that
they will oil the streets in the busi-
ness secion of the city before the
regular summer traffic starts. This
could be easily be accomplished from
the sprinkling fund and it is esti-
mated that the cost would not be
in excess of that amount that is spent
annually in sprinkling and then it is
only a temporary relief from the
dust, while one oiling would likely
keep down the dust for several
months.

EXCURSION TRAIN
TO ARRIVE MAY il
Salt Lake Business Men To
Visit This City For A
Short Time On
May IL

Sam X. Smith, secretary OF the
Salt Lake Chamber OF Commerce,
was an arrival in Mountain Home
last Wednesday. While here Mr..
Smith made arrangements for the ex-
cursion OF Salt Lake bushes men
which will spend a short time on
Monday, May nth, getting acquaint-
ed with local business men and work
ing for a further extension OF trade
with the Salt Lake merchants and
manufacturers. The members OF the
Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce will
spend an hour and half in this city,
from s a. m. until $3.50. They have
their own orchestra and glee club
with them and will give some musi-
cal selections while in the city.
In giving the objects of the excur-
sion, Mr.. Smith said:
salt Lake City has competition
in this ory--inpractically all
lines. Yet the interests of Idaho and
Utah are closer than those of any
other two states, and the business
men of these states should have
great deal more in common than the
merely comercial relationship of buy
er and seller. It is good business for
the wholesalers, manufacturers, bank
ers, insurance men, professional men,
and others, interested directly in the
upbuilding of the trade territory, to
shake hands with their business
friends. on this trip we will sell no
will make no collec-
tions. but will talk over business
matters of comon interest, on the
other fellows home ground
1--WE might be able to do the other
fellow some good--make suggestion
on his business methods-answer a
question that very yitally concerns
him-or be able in any number of
ways to be Of service to him. Like
wise, he may be of service to us in
a very practical manner"

ALFALFA AFFECTED
BY LONG DROUGHT
Many Local Farms May
Have To Be Re seeded
Others Putting In
Grain

AS a result of the long dry spell
of last summer, many local ranehers
report that their stand of alfalfa
had been killed and in some in
stances they are re-seeding, while
others have plowed up large acre
ages and are seeding the ground to
grain.
Practically every available acre in
this locality will be cultivated dur
ing the coming summer and with the
prospect of abundance of irrigation
water IL looks as though this section
will have bumper crop this year,
the first time in three years that
conditions have been so favorable.
Although the acreage that will be
planted to beans is not as large as
was at first hoped for, there are sew
eral farmers who will put in several
acres as an experiment and should
the cultivation of this crop prove
successful on a small scale this year
it is quite likely that next year a
number Of local farmers will go in
for this crop exclusively as the busi-
ness farmer of this section has
reached the conclusion that he must
turn to some other crop that will
bring in a better revenue than alfal-

PASSES AWAY

mer Resident of This

Mrs John A. Benoit passed away
week ago last Sunday at Fairyiew,
Montana. Mrs. Benoit was a form

husband at one time was engaged in
the mercantile business and has a
host of friends here who will regret
to learn of her death. The Fairview

Mrs. John A. Benoit passed to her
reward at -four O'Clock Sunday morn
ing after an illness of several weeks.
1t was indeed a great shock to the
community to learn that Mrs. Benoit
had passed away and that we had
lost a treasured neighbor and moth
er, for her kindness, consideration
for others and her unfailing courtesy
to ALL Mrs. Benoit was an enthus-
iastic church worker, true and con-
ecientious christian, untiring to the
end the Word of God might be fol-
lowed and taught to her children and
friends. Even to the last day of
her life upon the earth she clearly
demonstrated the doctrine Of Eter-
nal Life, that they might be brought
to the faith that will live through
the ages. In her daily walks through
life she was kindly, sincere and char
table; and IF every person for
whom she had done some loving act
OF kindness would place single
blossom upon her grave, she would
sleep tonight beneath wilderness
of flowers"

ABUNDANCE OF
WATER EVIDENT
Farmers Are Assured of
Ample Water; Situation
Best For a Number
Of Years

The water situation in the imme-
diate vicinity of Mountain Home is
indeed favorable, in fact the situa-
tion now presents a better outlook
at this time than has been the case
for the past four or five years. w.
j. Love, of the Mountain Home Co
Operative Irrigation District, states
that at the present time the water
level is now about six inches over
the spillway at the local reservoir
and the flow of Canyon Creek will
have to be turned off in the next
few days in order to prevent it from
going over
The delivery of water to number
of the alfalfa lands of the project has
been going on for several days.
Repairs are now completed on all
of the bitches and they are of such a
permanent nature that no fear need
be entertained relative to breaks.
Canyon Greek at the present time
is higher than it has been at
any time, with the exception of
few days during the first run-off last
February.
Long Tom reservoir is now about
two thirds full, according 30 word
reaching the Republican the lforepart
of the week. The run-off has not
really started as yet and there is con-
sequently very little water in the
Long Tom reservoir.
Summing up the whole situation,
Mr. Love states, that he is of the
opinion that there will be more wa
ter available than there is acreage
to consume it.
