Current Event News.

The Parliamentary Glass of the
club met at Mrs. Byrd Tregos on
Monday afternoon to study the work
ings of county government. They
held caucus and afterwards a pri-
mary and elected delegates to the
county convention. The election was
without incident, except that one
ladys vote was challenged on the
ground that she was from New York,
that she had been here only two
years, and was not entirely acclimat-
ed, but the objection was over ruled
and her vote admitted. The delegates
elected are Mrs. G.. H. Holbrook, Miss
Nora Jones and Miss Belle Shaw.
The delegates were not instructed,
but resolution was adopted, favor
ing the rigid enforcement of the laws
governing public roads. 1t was the
sense of the resolution that as much
labor as possible should be expended
Tor grading roads thru low places
where it is difficult for farmers to
keep the water out of the roads. that
road supervisors ard their bondsmen
should be held to a strict account of
the practical fulfillment of their duty
in collecting all available road tax,
and that any violation of the statutes
provided for cases of irrigating the
roads be strictly enforced. They did
not favor building any more bridges,
over Snake River in the near future.
The next sitting of the class will
resolve itself into a county conyen-
tion, and it is expected that some
lively tilts will occur and some warm
resolutions will be offered

Idaho Grabbing Land.

When Idaho came into the UnioI
as state. Uncle Sam endowed hel
with lands for her state institutions
ranging from 10000 to 100, 600 ac
res for each of the normal schools
the Soldiers Home, the Penitentiary
the State Capitol Building, the Uni,
versity. the Reform School and the
Asylum. These lands have been Sc.
lected by the state, and it was ex-
pected that they would be taken be-
fore the settler did it, but several ad-
ministrations went by without doing
Anything to secure them For num-
Der of years men have been busy
making Sselections, and permission
has bsen obtained from the general
government to make some changes,
~ take land in lieu of sections Is
fpnd 36, where these numbers were
Ytaken by settlers before statehood, or
where they come in forest reserves,
and men are kept busy on this work
| Senator George Day and e. l.. Mar
vim We're here Monday and Tuesday
making filings for the state, on lands
which had been previously examined,
and about 10000 acres were secured.
Senator Day informes us that if this
had been done long ago, the state
could have obtained much better
land than can be had now. 1t was
the design that these lands should
make a permanent fund to sustain
the state institutions forever, and
during Morrison's administration, an
attempt was made to use some of the
principal arising from the sale or use
of such lands, but the matter was
vigorously opposed then by Attorney
General Bagley, and the rule es-
tablished that such funds must re-
main intact forever, and only the in
terest or rental from the lands can
be used. This is provision in the
peoples behalf that few states have
made, and is monument to the fore
sight of the man who represented
us in congress at that time and those
who co-operated with him in framing
the liberal constitution under which
we live.
Mr.. Day says he has been aided a
great deal by settlers who have come
to feel that they are part owners In
the state, and are partners in it's pros
perity or losses. This feeling is grow
ing very much the present summer,
and many a nice piece of land he did
not know of, has been brot to his

piloted to it, by some settler who
might in years gone by, have regard
ed the state as an undesirable land

AT THE CHURCHES.

Rev. C. A. Edwards delivered two
stpbng sermons Sunday to wei
filed house. In the morning he an
n9unced that at meeting of the Of
fetal board of the church held Mon
day evening they had elected F. T
Richards, treasure, and Miss Ora
|Caldwell, assistant treasurer. The
salary board, he said, had fixed the
compensation of the minister at ST..
900 for the year, to be paid monthly
Presiding Elder G. W.Barnes is to
be here this evening to hold quart
erly meeting, and will preach on Sun
day evening. Rev. Edwards will
preach as usual in the morning.
At The L. D. S. Church on Sunday
evening. Dr. Harrington, superitend-
ent of the city schools, spoke on mat
ters of education, in response to an
invitation extended by Bishop Park
inson, the bishops object being to
direct peoples attention to the fact
that we have the best of schools at
home, and that steady attendance by
each pupil will secure results here
as well as elsewhere.
DR.. Harrington went beyond this,
and showed the advantages of having
young people educated at home, un-
der the home influence, rather than
to send them away to the cities or
college towns where they are trans
formed, possibly into something so
different they do not seem the same
when they return, and are not alto
gether benefited by the new notions
they get and the habits they adopt.
He stated that every one of the
new corps of teachers is an earnest
worker in whose hands the pupils
may well be placed, and that the
school board had poured out the pub
lie money without stint to secure the
best of everything to put into the
school,
At the close of his address, Jas.
president of the state,
followed with few well chosen re-
marks in which he endorsed what
had been said, and Bishop Parkinson
expressed his satisfaction with all
that had been brot out at the meet
ing. Many patrons of the school pres
sed forward after the dismissal, to
meet the new superintendent and
pledge him their support.

Northwood, Dec. 31.-Citizens of

of any other town or city In the state

IL present plans are carried to fruitton,
and C. II. Walker, owner of the water
power on the Shell Rock river here
gets the franchise for which he VIII
ask at the next session of the council
Should Mr.. Walker secure a franchise
the light and power business OF
Ncrthwood will be divided between
rival concerns, and the competition will
be highly interesting.
the owners OF the light plant have at
several times made attempts to agree
upon the sale or rental Of the water
right to the light company, but have
never been able TO come to terms. Mr.
Walker refuses to take less for the use
of his wate, right than fuel for steam
power costs tho lighting company,
which price the manufacturers OF light
juice decline to pay.
There has been considerable talk and
rumor to the effect that Walker might
invade the field of the light and power
company ever since he bought the wat
err right two years ago last fall. He
secured this right (Which controls a
sufficient horse power. he claims, to
give Northwood twenty-four hours
service nearly all the year,, after the
Northwood Roller Mills burned two
years ago last September. AT that time
the water right was offered the lighting
people but they did not take It, Ever
since then, off and on, there has been
talk of their taking the power 1t gen.
Grated, but Mr. Walkers avowed inten-
ton Of filing Il petition bearing the
names of the requisite fifty property
owners, asking that his request be
submitted to vote, rather indicated
| that all negotiations are off.
In the meantime, the lighting COM
pany has spent many thousands OF doll
lars on new plant, in which it is now
| located, and seems to be in position
to make good fight to hold it's bus
mess, even tho 1t should be thrown in
competition with water power.
Mr.. Walker. also, has been "girding
his armor," so to speak, and new
dam, of reinforced concrete has re-
placed the old wooden one. ~ |
Capital enough will be interested on
each side of the struggle for business
which will Inevitably follow the grant
ing Of q franchise to a second concern,

The sentiment Of the people regarding
the matter is being rapidly divided
and the affair will receive its full
share of discussion, now 1T is to be
brought to a head by the filing of a
petition or franchise, during the de-
mainder Of the winter.
