THE LAST CHANCE DITCH
co. TO HAVE
A STONE HEAD-GATE.

The Board OF the Last Chance
Ditch Co. met last Saturday in En-
NETT according to their notice in
this paper to consider the sealed
bids for the construction of tim
Der head-gate at the head of their
ditch about five miles up the Pay
cite river from Emmett; but be-
cause Of an unexpected bid from
Mr.. Poston Of Boise, who was here
at the time of the meeting TO eX-
PLANE his plans and proposition,
to put in a stone head-gate there
was an adjourned meeting Monday
afternoon at which the Stock Hold
ers we're given an opertuuity to
make a choice between a timber
and a stone head-gate; and with
the exceptionof few shares the
Stock Holders were in favor Of
and instructed the board to con-
tract with Mr.. Poston for the head
gate.
The re- son for putting in st ne
rather than a timber hea gate Is
from a standpoint of economy
when looking into the future. To
put in a timber head-gate will cost
about Sl70O and it will be good for
only eight to twelve years while
Mr.. Poston proposes to put in a
stone head-gate for S2l35 whrch
will last 100 years or more.
Mr.. Poston came to Emmett
Wednesday and contracted with
the Board to put III a sixteen foot
hcad-gate of three sections with
steel posts, the bottom to be made
of layer Of three feet OF cement
below the bottom of the ditch, the
walls to be three feet thick at the
bottom and two feet at the top;
and to be protected in front by
strong masonry for S2l35, and as
part payment is to take the timber
already ordered for the head-gate
oil the Company's hands at cost.
The remainded is to be paidin cash
at completion of the work except
$500 which is to be paid on or be-
fore one year after completion.
The contract is to take effect rs
soon as Mr.. Poston has furnished
a satisfactory bond Of $4,000 to Sc
cure the faithful and satisfactory
performance Of the work.

An Inward but not an Apparent
Change.

AS announced last week the IN
DEX printing plant has changed
hands, but { )r the present there
will be no material change in the
policy; or the plan Of work. At
present we wish to retain its stand
ingond if GUS steps warrant warm
welcome and liberal support we
shall expand our working force and
make the paper a better collection
for circulation.
The management Of the paper
has fallen into the hands of one
who has been connected with the
educational work Of Emmett the
past two years, aud during his stay
has learned-or did from the be-
ginning to like and to enjoy many
things of the West; and, too, with
the apparent prosperity in this
community believe he has selected
one of the best dwelling and BUSH
ness locations Of our knowledge.
The reason for continuing the
policy Independent of the pre-
vious Editor is that We believe the
conditions of our immediate vicin-
ity demand at present an indie
pendent papeg-on organ "of the
people, by the people, and for the
people" but us soon as the bust
ness of our village and surround
ing county seems TO demand anoth-
er-opposing printing establish
meut it shall be our wish to enter
n political field, for it is much cas-
ier to recline on one side or the
other with the surging factions
than TO hang across as a tie for
continual torture at both ends with
little ammunition for support and
protection, The editor now has
his political views. aud in our mind
would be a poor stick did he no,
have, but he win try from an unbi-
used standpoint TO collect material
for the work at hand.
We wish to say to the exchange,
and newspaper men that we ar,
not printers-hy-trade as might b,
inferred from last weeks issue, MOI
Tre We totally unacquainted witt
the work. However. with on
meager experience wa hope b,

ueuts Of a country newspaper witt
