The SIGNAL was requested to give
a notice last Thursday that there
would be a meeting that night at the
courthouse to nominate five town
trustees. Accordingly number met
in the office of Auditor Smith and
nominated T. c. Galloway, Frank
Harris, M. McGregor, L. j. Burns
and N. F. Kimball. Although it was
not stated as a definite and defined
policy, the impression prevailed among
many that they were running on an
absolute platform of extending the
corpe-c>te limits-and putting the city
government in active running order
A meeting was held Monday night at
the same place by those opposed to
that platform, and decided to put up
ticket that, if elected, would not re-
vive the old corporation or take any
action in the premises, and by not
meeting let it remain dead. The fol
lowing ticket was put up: M. w.
Mitchell, Thos. Shannon, T. H. Pence,
e. M. Barton and l.. L. Shearer.

Mr. A. H. Lee, once on the edi-
torial staff of the "Witness, pub
lished in New York, made us a
pleasant call Tuesday. Mr.. Lee is
interested in an irrigation enterprise
in the Payette valley and will locate
in Idaho, with headquarters at Boise.
He is looking for a tract Of land on
which to locate a colony of Hungari-
ans. We asked him about their de-
STABILITY, and he informed us that
they had been in America some time
and could speak good English, and
the men were nearly all naturalized
citizens; that they were a very thrifty
people and would build up the wealth
of the section in which they located.
Mr.. Lee is so well pleased with Idaho
that he wants to learn more about it
and ordered this great paper sent to
him regularly.

THE NEW YEAR.

A flower unknown; book unread;
A tree with fruit uuhervested;
A oath untrod house whose roAms
Lack yet the hearts divine perfumes;
A landscape whose wide borde lies
In silent shade meath silent skies;
A wondrnus fountain yet unsealed:
A casket with its gifts concealed;
This is the year that for you waits
Beyond to-morroH's mystic gates.
Oh, may this flower urfold to you
Visions of beauty sweet and new,
This book on golden pages trace
Your sacred joys and deeds of gracel
May all the fruit of this strange tree
Luscious and rosy tinted be;
This path through fields of knowie dgt
go;
This house with loves content o'e1flow
This landscape glitter with the dew
Ofblessed hopes and friendships true
This fountains Lying crystal cheer,
As fall the springs that once were dear
T is casket with such gems be stored
As shine in lives that love the Lord!
