Last Wednesday while Joseph scho-
ber and his son Henry were feeding
their hogs Mr.. schober's team became
excited and when Henry tried to hold

in circle, upset the wagon, hurt Hem
ry's ankle, lnloodied the nose of Roy.
Anderson (who was standing near,) be-
sides breaking the seat an to pieces and
causing Joe to quote the pedigree OF
each horse and a few choice selections
from the poets. Ii the team had not
been inside the hog pen Il lively run
away would have occurred.

For the benefit OF those who oppose
incorporation on the ground that village
licenses are appropriated wholly BY the
school, county and state, we copy the
following from the 1899 Session Laws of
the State of Idaho, which is SELF explain
atory:
Page 242, Sec. 1910. SIS Fifty per
cent. of all moneys paid for licenses
shall be applied to and constitute part
OF the school fund Of the school district
in which said licenses are collected.
forty per cent. to the general road fund
OF the county in which said licenses are
collected and ten per cent. shall be paid
into the State treasury: Provided, That
forty per cent. of all moneys paid for IL
censes by applicants within ineorporat-
ed towns, cities and villages, or cities
acting under special charters, shall lie /
paid by the county treasurer to the mu-
nicipal authorities OF such town, city or
village for general revenue purposes of
such town, city or village fifty per cent.
OF said moneys so paid for licenses are I
to be applied and constitute part OF |
the school fund Of the school district in
which said licenses are collected, and
ten per cent. shall be paid into the
State treasury
Now, why in the name OF common
sense don't We incorporate, take this 40
per cent. Of our own money and give
ourselves village government that will
keep order in the town, improve our
streets and sidewalks, keep our citizens
