THEIR FIRST MEETING.
THE NEW COUNCIL TAKES
HOLD.
Mayor Barrett submits a few
timely suggestions.

SAN A40C"Ah6 Was Cd1Ieu Tor
the mayor to submit his committee
appointments the following were
named on the respective commit
tees:
Ordinance: Whitman, Hansen,
Crane.
Finance: Hammond, Leonard,
Perkins.
General improvements: Crane,
Whitman, Leonard.
Committee on streets, Perkins,
Leonard, Hammond.
Law and Order: Whitman,
Hansen, Crane.
Printing: Hansen, Hammond
Perkins.
The clerk then read the follow
ing communication from the mayor:
Montpelier, Idaho,
April 18th, 1897.
To the members City Council.
Gentlemen: You will pardon
nue. no doubt if this is not in ac-
eordance with the custom Of the
past, and ALLOW me to submit for
Sodr consideration, what in my
Judgment appears to be in the
interest of our Constituents"
First, We must not forget the
tact, that for the last three or four
years, we have been heavily bur-
bendened with state and county
taxes. To such an extent in fact,
as to discourage the people almost,
against voting tax for education
al purposes; therefore, / would
suggest the greatest care be exer-
cised in keeping the expense of the
city at a nominally low figure.
There are many needed improve
ments, which however, can be
accomplished largely with the
peoples labor if properly directed;
but cannot be dore, by allowing
three dollars for one dollars worth
of work.
l should therefore recommend
that the road overseer, require the
man who is given the opportunity
of working out his road tax to put
in full time, assuring to the city
the same value as though it were
for q private individual, and the
party be not released from the
obligation until such results are
obtained.
It will be my purpose, too, when
appointing a Chief Of Police to
have it in such an individual as
will earn the money he is to be
paid having in mind all the time
the taxpayers are bearing the ex-
pense; and the position should not
be looked upon as one being held
in reserve for some particular per-
son, who has no staid occupation,
or desire to familiarize himself
with what other men do for liv-
ing.
It would be we'll in my judg-
ment, if the council would increase
the labots of this position, to the
extent, tn at it would be difficult
for US to get person to take it,
rather than to have it SO easy 60
fill.
would further recommend that
that officer enforce the ordinance
with referance to minors being
found in and about saloons, and
the practice of boys lettering
around places of business in our
town, which is source of great
annoyance 10 the proprietors,
should be stopped.
The health Of our people must
be watched with great care, and in
this connection, I am reminded
there are stable and corals located
too near the sidewalks, in violation
of our ordinances and the parties
liable should be warned of the dan
ger and then compelled to obey
4ha Io,.,

What Pittsburg Coal Men Have to Say
About It.
Yesterdays Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele-
graph has the following, of decided inter-
est here:
Henry Floersheim the Finleyville coal
operator, has lost the contract for sup
plying the Wheeling gas works with coal,
which he has held for the past Is year,
Mr. Floersheim arrived in the city at 9:1o
a. m. from Wheeling, and went at once to
the Monongahela House. where he met a
number of large operators and lake ship
pers, and told them of the opening o. the
bids last night by the Wheeling board of
gas trustees. The contract was awarded
to J. E. Boyle, owner of the Hackett
mines, on the Wheeling division. His bid
was $1.09 for clean coal and $1.05 for three
quarter COAL Floersheims bid was lit
tie higher. He refused to make his figures
public but it is understood he bid s1.25 for
clean coal, which is an exceptionally low
rate.
Mr.. Floersheim does not understand how
Boyle was able to make his bid-so low and
pay a. 65-cent mining rate, which is the
price paid for mining at the Hackett
mines. THE rate to Wheeling is 40 cents,

Next Sundays issue Of the Register
will be an unusually large paper. and,
in addition, will be unusually bright
and attractive, and the high standard
to be set in this edition-far and away
in advance of all recent issues will be
kept up until after the Christmas holi-

very strong, the accompanying illus
trations are by the best newspaper art

the season, while there will be more

sentation of the news of Saturday,
from this city to the further corner of
the world.
A word to advertisers-both in the
Sunday and daily editions. For Sunday
we would like the copy of all advertise
ments in the Office by Friday evening,
if possible, but not later than Satur-
day afternoon in any event. For the
daily issues of the Register, advertise
ment copy from now on until the first

early as possibly in the afternoon of the
day previous to publication. We desire
to give advertisers the best possible re-
suits and to this end make this request.
1t applies to all issues, but particularly
to Sundays.

John Coats, formerly riverman in
years running on the river between
Cincinnati and New Orleans, was in the
city yesterday calling on friends.
The sudden rise in the Allegheny in
terrupted the work at Hers Island
dam. Operations cannot be resumed
for several days.
United States inspectors of steam
boilers are becoming anxious about a
rumored purpose of the department to
compel all employees under it to under
go a new civil service and technical
examination. These men were placed
under the civil service rules by the
Cleveland order of May 6. 1896. There
are 124 inspectors, 10 supervising in
spectors and one supervising inspector
general, besides A clerks, in the SER
vice.
1t is rumored that the Will Cum
mings has been sold to the White Col
lar line, of Cincinnati.
Operators on the Kanawha are get
ting ready to ship coal as 500 as there
is a swell in that stream.
Rivermen say that light should be
kept on the cofferdam at Merrill in or
der to guide passing boats. 1t is said
that if light had been in the south
west corner of the enclosure the acct
dent to the Hornet sould have been
avoided.

done. It is specially stipulated in the con.
tract that the 65-cent rate must be paid. 7
DR.. D. NJ. Anderson. who operates mines
adjoining those of BoyLe. said he could not
see how the contract could be filed at less
than sL1e; lard then he added there
would not be a cent of profit in it,
J. P. Walsh, of the Walsh-UpstiH com
pany. was surprised at the figures, and
said there was no money in the contract at
so low a price. Other operators made SIM
liar comments on the remarkably low
price. The only possible way a contract
can be filled at that price, an operator
said, might be on account of an advantage
enjoyed by Mr.. Boyle by having his coal
mined by machinery.

And rs to the tendency OF the growth
OF great cities to cncrvatc nations there
is no proof of IL at nll unless we identity
the life Of great cities with the passion
for idlcncss and pleasure and sclf-in-

means universally, accompanies their
growth, says the London Spectator.
When you get large prolctarint lir-
ing, ns that OF ancient Rome aud pos.

the nlms OF the rich and powerful. then
no doubt you have the conditions OF
n thoroughly unnatural and unhealthy
life. ond no one cnn wonder ut the rapid
decay of such cities and of the nations
which gloricd In them. But where the
honest working class far outnumbcrs
the prolcinriat, where the middle
classes OF distributors and mnnufnC-
turcrs and professional men are labor
ious and energetic, and csen the class
that lives on It's accumulated wealth
contains a considerable eprinkling Of
serious md disintcrstcd workers. wc
tio not believe that there is the smallest
evidence of any greater danger In the
