In the fall election of 1888 in
southeastern Idaho, some very inter
esting history was enacted applicable
to the all absorbing topic in Idaho
today, the Mormon question.
Fred Dubois was running as a del :
egate to congress on the republican
ticket and on the anti Mormon ticket,
the republicans and about one-third
the democrats of southeastern Idaho
belonged to the anti Mormon party.
Jim Hawley was running as a dele
gate to congress on the democratic
ticket. Idaho was then q territory
and the Mormons were DISTINGUISHED.
They had been DISTINGUISHED for four
years and held a spirit Of resentment
against Dubois and ''Kentucky"
Smith for having been disfranchised.
The week before the Tuesday cleo
ton in November of 1888 the air Of
southeastern Idaho was surchArged
with wild rumOrs, vague in their
character, and men with bated breath
whispered that something was going
to happen. It all pertained to the
Mormons and what they were going
to do.
There were no telephones in south
eastern Idaho those days and railroad
facilities were provided only by the
main line of the Oregon Short line
and the Utah Northern. As trains
would come up the U. a N. through
Blackfoot and Idaho Falls (then
Eagle Rock those interested in poll
tics would hurry to these trains,
freight or passenger, to exchange
ideas as to this strained situation.
The trainmen were as much interest
ed as anyone and afforded a medium
OF exchange of ideas from PocatelIc
to Blackfoot, Blackfoot 10 Idaho Falls
and back through these towns After
the departure of trains, men could b.
seen knotted over the streets and
about the depots talking and earnest
ly endeavoring to diagnose the situB
ton and to guess what the Aormoai
were going to do.
On Saturday before election public
attention, like heavy cloud from tbs
clear sky, conferred at Rexburg, and
every body knew instinctively, that
some uu-American act would, Ia al
probability, occur there.
On Sunday. deputy U. S. marshali

gineer to Give Opinion Anent
Thorouqhfare

The question of the ownership of
Thirty eighth street, between Del
Monte and Grand avenues, is to be
again fought out before the board of

yesterday. when numerously signed
petition was presented to the board,
asking that Thirty-eighth street, be-

public works believes it should be
opened, and has referred the petition to
the city engineer for action.

IN QUANDARY OVER
GARBAGE QUESTION
REFUSE NOW DUMPED ON PRI-
vATE GROUND
Alexander lncinerator offered to City
at Monthly Rental Of $4,000, but
Board Thinks Price
High

With the new garbage incinerator
temporarily useless on account OF
Wednesday nights fire, the question Of
disposng of the garbage collections is
beginning to worry the board of public
works a little.
The garbage was dumped yesterday
on grounds owned by MCGUIRE & Nc
Clure, the contractors who furnish the
collection wagons for the city, and the
same disposition will be made of refuse
today, but this cannot be kept up long.
Some means of incineration must be
found within few days.
The board in its extremity has turned
to Charles Alexander former collector
of garbage, and asked for the use Of
his incinerator until a new building
can be erected over the plant owned
by the city. Alexander is reluctant to
let the board use his crematory, as he
is preparing to sell it and has it dis
connected. The board would use it but
a few months, and for the small amount
of money the city would be willing to
pay for these few months Alexander
does not consider il worth while to in
cur the expense Of connecting up the
machinery again.
Want to Sell Land
The board is now negotiating with
"A
Several persons appeared before the
board yesterday with propositions to
sell the city land in the river bottom for
a municipal dumping ground. AS river
bottom land is held at about $1,000 an
acre. and several acres would be neces-
sary for the city's purpose, the board
does not look favorably on the propo-
sition to buy dumping ground.
Alexander said last night he had
made an offer to the board of public
works to use his incinerator for $1,000
a month. The teams for collection will
cost $1,000 month and the labor $500.
This will make the collection and in
cineration of garbage cost the city $4,000
q month during the time the new
building is being erected.
According to Alexander the collection
and incineration of garbage cost the
city $4,000 last month. BY using his
plant he declares nearly half this cost
will be saved.
