STANDPOINT is DRY.
Water Supply Running Short
in That City.

Standpoint, Idaho, Aug. III. L.
Drumheller of Spokane, president OF
the Standpoint water company, is
here looking over the plant. He
brought an engineer with him to look
over the system to see what can be
done to increase the supply which is
very low. There is a proposition on
to raise the dam at the head of Sand
creek, which, il done, will give the
city more pressure and at the same
time more water. There has been
some talk of bonding the city to
put in its own water works, and I'M
less the present company does some
thing to inrease the supply such ac-
tion may be taken.

Rain Spells Pleasure that
Might Have Character
lied Auto Test.
.STRAGGLE IN SLOWLY
Only Four Reach Hammond Up to
Late Hour Bad Weather
Causes Disappointment

The automobile economy test is be-
ing conducted under difficulties today on
account of the rain. Up to O'Clock
this afternoon but three cars had pass
ed through the city They were Nos.
3, 81 and II. They passed Sharpshoot-
ers park and evidently went down
Gostlin street to Calumet avenue in
order to avoid the traffic on the busy
Hammond thoroughfares.
The adoption Of this route was dis
appointment to dozens of Hammond
business men who had been watching
for the cars since 10 o'clock this
morning. A wagon filed with crush
ed stone passed along Holman street
and spilled straight line of stone for
a long distance along this highway and
nearly every one thought this was for
the purpose of marking off the route,
but inquiry developed the fact that the
tourists had gone another way.
The motorists who intended taking
part in the economy test of the Chicago
Automobile Trade association and the
Chicago Motor club to Cedar Lake,
Ind, this afternoon were going ahead
with their preparations last night. They
could stand a little rain early this
morning to lay the dust, which was ex-
/ pecleQ 10 De the only u4SdSI
thing in conection with the contest.
Most of the thirty-four entrants lined
up in Michigan avenue, near Thirteenth
street. by noon today, each prepared TO
demonstrate that his car is the most
economical in fuel consumption, ac-
cording to its weight That good rec
ords will be made is expected, for the
preliminary tryouts have proved the
going down Indiana way is good for
such a contest.
The cars began to assemble at II
o'clock, each contestant reporting to
John w. Hayden. who saw that the
tank of the car was filed with gaso-
line, the quantity noted. and the tank
then sealed, not to be reopened unit
the journey is completed. This sealing
is to prevent any suspicion of the gaso.
line supply being tampered with. Oh.
servers also reported at IL, check
ing in with Dan Canary, clerk Of tn,
course, who was stationed in the rooms
Of the Chicago Motor club in the New
Southern. He assigned each observes
to a car and the first duty of the OBJ
server was to watch the filling anl
sealing of the tank.
At / O'Clock Starter Charles p. Roo

GRAFTERs LOOK FORWARD
TO INCREASED REVENUE.
Max Visits Chicago ON business with
County Clerk and Village Attorney
With Reference TO saloon Licenses.

Peter Max, president OF the West
Hammond board went to Chicago this
afternoon on business with the county
clerk and Village Attorney Markham.
Beginning on Nov. 1, the license for all
the saloons in Cook county will be
raised from $3.50 to $500. 1t is in con-
nection with this matter that Max paid
his visit to the city this morning.
The increase in saloon license means
a large increase in the village treasury.
for as all knew, the saloons in West
Hammond are numerous. What dis
pensation will be made of the additional
revenues by the West Hammond graft
ers remains to be seen.
Max says: "Of late things have been
running pretty smooth over the border -
He says he hopes that the better class
of citizens will give up trying to have
the dives excluded from the village.
He thinks it will be a good thing for
/ West Hammond now that the licenses
have been raised but as long as he Is
president of the village he says he will
never sign any papers. petitions or re-
monstrances whose object is the re-
moyal of the dives. Conditions are not
much better in West Hammond now
than they were two months ago. Near
ly every night there is some kind of a
saloon brawl or fight although the,par-
ticipants are taking more care about

PETITION NOW CIRCULATED
TO RETAIN SCHOOL TEACHER.
Benhart Fendig Promises TO ForegO
Gambling if Reinstated in his Posi-
tiOn-Many Signers Found.

A petition was being circulated yes
terday by Moses Tuteur in behalf of
Benhart Fendig, the school teacher
whose license was revoked by County
superintendent Hamilton, and whose
trial on appeal to the state superin-
tendent was held last Friday. The pc
tition sets forth the promise of the
teacher to never again engage in the
game Of poker, and asks that inasmuch
as he is a good teacher and has always
haf tfle respect of the public and their
confidence, that he be given another
chance to make good on his reform.
The petition itself demands this re-
form by speaking of the immoral ef-
feet of gambling and the pledge of Mr.
Fendig is practically made to every
person who signs the petition. 1t be-
ing the desire of all to grant every op-
portunity of reform to the teacher it
| is needless to say that the signatures
of many citizens are being appended to
it. Should it have the effect of stay
ing the decision of the state superin-
tendent or of resulting in his granting
| the opportunity to prove his good in
4 tentions, it should in no manner be at
/ tributed as a rebuff to Superintendent
Hamilton, who was very thoroughly
substantiatated in his course in the
vocation.-Rensselae Republican.

One Eighth of Country's S
Heroism Attributed to
Hoosier State.
RECEIVE CARNEGIE AWARDS
Valparaiso Man Gets Bronze Medal
and Notre Dame Student Gets
Medal and $1,000.

Twelve and one-half per cent of the

heroes of the United States live in In
diana, and in the Northern part of it
at that.
This record is established on the
basis of the Carnegie awards for brav-
cry, two out of sixteen having gone to
men who claim allegiance to the north
ern tier of counties of the Hoosier
state. Ten of the prizes were awarded
within the middle west with Chicago
as the center.
The Indianans honored are William J.
A. Darst, a student at Notre Dame, Ind
and Arthur Simon of Valparaiso. The
former received d bronze medal and
$1,000 to be used in the completion of
his education and Simon was given a
bronze medal without any monetary
recognition of his heroism.
Darst. in company with Clifford w.
Snyder, aged ii, and a student at the
Lewis Institute Chicago, who also re-
ceived a medal and $1,000, performed
the act of heroism which was so sub
stantially rewarded. May IT, 1904 On
this date George III. Grosvenor and
Robert Bell two Chicago students
were thrown into Lake Michigan from
a sailing canoe which capsized a quar-
ter of a mile off Fifty first street. The
lake was rough and the water cold and
after attempting to swim ashore, drag
| ging their canoe, the students became
numb and exhausted.
Employees from hotel saw them and
/ gave the alarm. and one of them a
colored porter 10 years old who had
gone to the beach with the crowd from
the hotel, responded to the request o
rescue.
The two boys, Snyder and Darst, ha,
seen the canoe capsize and launched ;
small boat. They enlisted the negro
help after several men had refused t
go out with them. The two boys wer
of light build. but good swimmers an
experienced in rowing. The negro wa
stoutly built, good swimmer, but hai
little knowledge of rowing Whei
they got out about one hundred an
!. fifty feet. where the sweHs rocked tn
boat, the negro got frightened an
begged the others to return. The
would not do this, so he dropped hi
oars and refused to row. The boy
continued to row until the canoe wa
reached.
Fearing that they would be swampes
the porter protested against Grosveno
and Bell being pulled into the boa
{ but this was done. The rescued me
collapsed and were unable to give an
assistance in rowing back to shore.

time and was not awakened until ono
of them heard the cracking noise that
was made by the flames 1t was then
