The Sage Tick

There is dear little insect called the
sage tick that in the spring especially
does its part to keep things moving. 1t
roams around the human anatomy with
the abandon of band leader and is an
awful bore at times.

crawlers of the desert are fitted up with
hurley drills, while their legs sort of
lovingly embraces their friends and keep
them scratching while the drill is pune
turing your cuticle. After the hole is
drilled they shove their heads into it
and begin having some thing with you.

them which is They ehell.-Burley

Ferris Wheel DESTROYED.

Last week in st. Louis the Ferris
wheel which did duty at the Chicago
exposition and again at the worlds fair
of 1903, was blown down with dynamite
and is to be sold as old iron. 1t was a
white elephant and the city desired to
get rid of it. AS it would have cost an
enormous sum to take it down piece by
piece the dynamite method was resorted
to, bringing the great mass down into a
tangled heap upon the ground. Like a
good many other freaks, it outlived it's
usefulness and had to stand aside.

Indefinite BOOzelesSnesS

SAN FRANCISCO. May ll.--Mayor
sSchmitz today announced that the sa.
looms in the city of San Francisco would
remain closed indefinitely. The good
order that has been maintained here
since the great fire is attributed in a
large measure to the fact no one, not
even licensed druggists has been allow
ed to dispense liquor. That the author
sties here have no intention of loosening
the tight grip on the reins which have
held the liquor dealers in check since
the city suffered its great disaster was
made plain today by, the emphatic de-
clarltions of Mayor Schmitz. When
asked as to the likelihood of saloons be-
ing allowed to open in the near future
the mayor not only denied that there
was possibility of such action being
taken. but added that he had decided
that all drinking places should be closed
for an indefinite period. He attributed
the remarkable absence of crime and
the unexceptional order which has pre-
vailed in the city since the conflagration
to the fact that the edict against the
selling of liquor had been rigidly enforc-
ed.
This stand of the mayor was emphasiz
ed this afternoon when the board of
police commissioners met and unani-
mously indorsed a suggestion made
by the mayor that all saloon licenses
now in existence be revoked San
Francisco is today city without
saloons. In discussing this sweeping
action the commissioners were unit
in voicing the sentiment that the future
welfare of the city would be enhanced
by fewer number of drinking places. A
Number of saloon proprietors have been
engaged in course of construction of
temporary buildings in which they hope
soon to be permitted to dispense liquors.
To these the commissioners issued a
warning advising them that the number

future would be greatly curtailed and
that it was premature for them to incur
any expense in the way of temporary
building operations.
In San Mateo county, just over the
border, the supervisors recently allowed
the saloon men to open their places of
business. The result was disastrous.
Thousands of men and women focked
over the border and INDUCED in drunk
en- orgies 1t produced the nearest ap-
proach to riotous conditions that has
existed in the city since the great catas-
trophe. Chief of Police Dinan appealed
to Sheriff Mansfield of San Mateo county
begging him to see that all grog shops
within his jurisdiction be closed. Today
Sheriff Mansfield made answer that he
would close all drinking places, despite
the action of the supervisors of the
county, even if it was necessary for him
to go to the extent of calling upon the
militia to aid him in the work.

Press Club Organized.

| Representatives of a number of eastern
Idaho Newspapers met at Pocatello las
Monday and organized an association te
be known as the Eastern Idaho Press
Club. The purposes of the club are te
cultivate closer and more pleasant social
relations among the people who publish
the newspapers and operate the printing
houses, it being the sentiment of those
present that it should be for the pro.
prletors and employees alike.
The scope of the club is to be commen-
Surate with the scope of the press both
social and business. They will discuss
those things which will make for better
newspapers, better journalism and better
printing; barring out Objectionable ad
vertlslng matter and reading matter
which has little value.
a prominent feature in the meeting
was the wish to make united stand in
the matter of patent medicine ads. and
relieve the public and publishers of their
abuse.
Boosting the natural resources of the
country, improving the. local. papers and
raising the Standard of the work, in
general seemed to be the drift of the
sentiment of those who got the floor.
William Wallin of the Pocatello Tri.
bune was elected temporary chairman
and editor Gable of the Morning Post
of Idaho Falls temporary secretary.
The ten eastern counties of the state
were designated as the natural geo
area to be operated IN, and
the following officers were elected to
hold until the next meeting in June.
VIM. Wallin, president; w. B. Citizens,
vice president; j. W. JONES' secretary;
and Jos. Dewitt treasurer.
A meeting of the executive board will
be held at Blackfoot in the near future.
The Press club of Pocatello took the
visiting delegates out for drive about
The city, and,up on the foot hills to the
system of reservoirs by which water is
for domestic use and fire pres
sure. This was especially interesting to
all, as the'subject.of reservoirs is some-
what new and rapidly coming into prom
nence. The absolute cleanliness and
security with which the waters of the
mountain springs have been impounded,
he beautiful park like places being dc
'eloped about the reservoirs by cultivat-
ng trees and shrubs, and the high pres
ure secured by the'elevation, were sub
ects of comment among the visitors
In the evening the pencil pushers all
vent out to the Auditorium, where COL
1annaford had reserved seats for them,
o witness the presentation of "The
Prisoner Of Algiers."
The next meeting will be held at Idaho
falls, on June 10 and II. when the "Pro-
ressive Pencil Pushers OF Pushville"
7ill be permitted to absorb some OF the
ush and energy that has made and is
laking Idaho Falls.

To Celebrate the Fourth.

Friday evening there was another
meeting at the court house to further ar
rangements for the celebration. The
finance committee consisting Of W. E.
Barnhart, Fred Murphy and o. Buchan-
an reported progress in their work and
prospects of strong support financially.
The Business Mems Association had
held meeting Tuesday evening and de-
cided that if the saloon men of the town
would subscribe $50, they would see
that the sum was raised to $500. The
saloon men had accepted the PROPOSE
ton and committee on general ar
rangements was appointed, consisting of
d. Burrell, G. Fl. Holbrook, o. Buchanan
J. O. Stone and Fred Murphy.
There was short discussion as to
whether admission should be charged
for seats IN the grand stand at the fair
grounds during the race program in the
afternoon. 1t was the wish of all that
everything should be free, but it was
shown that it would cost considerable
to properly police the grounds and make
needed repairs, and that only part of the
people could ge. into the grand stand
anyhow, and that as matter of safety
and comfort it might be advisable to
charge for seats and sell only SO many
seats as could actually be provided in
comfort to the purchasers, using part of
the receipts again to pay for the services
of the band.

Soda Springs Chieftain: Indicative
of what the railroads are handling in the
way of bales of wool this season from
Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho, it is stated
that single firm, that of Eseman Bros.
OF Boston, has already purchased and
partly shipped 100000 pounds of wool.
The average price paid for this was Il
cents, which means that the neat sum
of S3,78O,0GO has been paid to the wool
growers in this section by one firm alone.
Shearing operations are IN full blast
with the result that there are but few
freight men left in Salt Lake, all being
out at the corrals with marking pots
experimenting the loading of the wool.
