PAYMENT DELAYED
ON CONROY'S BILL
INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS BE-
GUN BASED ON INSURANCE.
The Relator, Alleges That the Chief of
Police, Being a City Official, Can
not Legally Sell the City Insurance
designation Rumors Denied.

City officials were served this morn
Ing with an order restraining them
from paying any more money to Con-
roy d McLennan on bill for fire in
surance amounting to $155.10. The
order is made by Judge G. M. Pond,
plication of John II. Thompson, a
taxpayer. Mayor James c. Haynes,
City Clerk L. A. Lydtard and Con-
-troller Joshua Rogers are parties to
the suit.
Mr.. Thompson alleges that Conroy
is superintendent Of police. Accord
Ing to the provisions of chapter of
the city charter it Is illegal for the
city to enter into a contract with any
firm with which any city official is
directly or indirectly interested, and
any such contract is void The insur-
ance In question covers the property
of the police department
The point raised has been the sub
ject of endless controversy, and the
law has been on more than one oc-
casion provoked grand jury investiga-
tons. II the case is fought to the
court of last resort the decision will
be of great value to the city,
Saloon Men Curry Favor.
While this action is not traceable di-
rectly to the insurance men there is a
feeling among them that the police
superintendent gets an undue bust
ness advantage from his official po-
sition. 1t is a fact that since his APP
pointment many Of the saloonkeepers
and proprietors Of low resorts have
transferred their business to his
agency. While Superintendent Con-
roy Is not believed to have solicited
this insurance business, the fact that
he has accepted it is being used against
him. The amount Of all this business
is not large and thoro canvass of
the insurance agencies by h ] r.
n a does not disclose, any more seri-
Gus sentiment than amused specula-
ton.
Rumors of Resignation.
While H. F. Rosing says the report
that he aspired to the office Of chief
of police originated in a joke, the
rumor was current to-day that Chief
Conroy was to resign. So much Gre
dence did this receive in certain quar-
tiers that wirese were already being
laid to land some other man in his
place. Mayor Haynes did not confirm
the report and Mr.. Conroy laughed

A synopsis OF the presidents mes
sage Is given in this issue. The omis.
sion to talk on the tariff question is
noticeable, and looks as if the chief
executive feared agitation Of the mat
ter or is anting to zee what next
may turn up. The pronouncement in
favor of legislation to effec lively en-
troll transportation rates is the most
vital thing in the message, and if the
president means business he will have
taken an advanced step. It remains
to be seen whether the words are to
remain only words, or to become
deeds. The president is net as sgeres.
sive as in the past in discussing inter-
national affairs. Every citizen,
whether agreeing with the ideas of
the president or not, should read the
message of the head of the nation.
The views Of the chief magistrate on
the questions of the day are matter
of concern to every citizen.

SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.

The largest irrigation enter prise in America is located in the rich Snake River valley of Idaho, which has been reclaimed through mans handi-workssalone. In this valley which is now com fortably settled, there remains 270,000 acres of land belonging to the state of Idaho, which is under the Twin Falls irrigation canals and open to settlement. This land is among the richest in America, as experiments have proved. Potatoes here yield 200 to 400 bushels to the acre of large size and fine variety. Wheat yields from 40 to 70 bushels to the acre with an average weight of 63 pounds per bushel. Three crops of alfalfa are raised each season in the Snake River valley. The climate is superb and of great value as a tonic for mind and body. Home-seekers' low rates to the Snake River valley are in effect via Union Pacific, the only direct route. Why not visit this district in person and fully realize it's great possibili- ties? For full information ad-
