Pocatello is suffering from an in
decent row between the city and
county governments. The council
first raised the saloon license to a
prohibitive figure, and licensed only
the few of them which it deems
friendly to the party in power. Then
the county attorney famed all the
honkytonks and denizens of the wal
led city. This so reduced the citys
revenue that the council purposes to
levy an occupation tax, compelling
everyone who makes a living in that
city pay an annual sum to the city.
1t is apparently a tit for tat game be-
tween the city and county, without
the display of considerable mental
brilliancy on the part of the council.
Even 1000 years ago old Caesar al
ways burned the bridges behind him
he had crossed them. If that
city council wanted to do something
smart, 1t should have so blocked the
line of march that. the county attor-
ney couldnot so ,harass the rear guard

Mrs. Sage's Gift to Idaho.

Mrs. Russell Sage, Notwithstanding
the many misgivings of critics, is dis
tributing the immense fortune of her
miser husband in very creditable
manner, 1t seems.
While she is importuned for money
by hundreds of undeserving men and
women and is bored by gift-seekers of
every gnown brand and variety, yet
she makes first-class selections in her
bestowals and seems to be guided by
desire to place her great fortune
where it will do the most good.
Very recently she gave $4,000 to
the Idaho Industrial Institute at
Wefser, the SUI moi $4,000 to be u.s.
ed in the erection of boys dormi-
tory, $4,000 for machine shop and
$4,000 in the purchase of land upon
which students may work for the sup
port of the institution.
This is the nucleus of what will one
day be magnificent, self-supporting
institution, II it is managed properly
and will be a splendid monument
to the Sage fortune,

Ethics Of Banking.

The relations which exist between
the banker and depositor is here
given In concise form by an Iowa
banker. 1t Is a plain statement of
the ethics of banking:
ut is the business of a bank to
loan money; If 1t did not loan mon
ey. it could not pay interest on depos-
its; in fact 1t could not exist. Depos-
itors in banks know that this is true,
and when they accept interest on de-
posits they know that we have got
to loan the money they deposit with
us at a greater rate of interest than
we pay them for it, and that, If we
cannot find customers for their mon
ey at home we must find them else
where. This knowledge is SO gen.
eral that it becomes part of the un-
written agreement between the bank
err and the depositor, the bank agree
ing to use all possible caution in
placing the loan so that 1t will be
paid, principal and interest, when
it is due; and the depositor agree
ing to trust to the judgement of the
bank in the matter of the loan and
take his chances along with the bank.
OF course the depositor Is doubly
secured, for If the loan we make
with his money is not paid or not
paid by the time he wants it back
we are pledged to see to 1t that he
gets his money or its equivalent.
He understands, also, that for the
convenience of himself and Others
we are obliged to keep large sums
of money on deposit in Chicago and
elsewhere to check against. Under
standing these things it should not
be difficult for him to understand
that If the man to- whom the loan
that If the man to whom we make
the loan cannot pay because he can
not get the money, orsif the banks
with whom we keep the money on de-
post to check against refuse to pay
us back in Gosh on demand, that we
cannot pay him back on demand and
that it is necessary to take some steps
to protect our depositor SO that the
other fellow will not get all the ready
cash in the bank has and he not get
any. This is the situation in a nut
she'll and the depositor has been
party to every phase ofsit down to
the point where cash Is shut off, and
it would seem that he is morally
obliged to stay through that with
out protest"

Big Fill ON High Line Near Aberdeen

Work on he big fill, on the high
line, canal, near Aberdeen, with the
exception of three runways which
will require not more than three days
work with slips, was completed Sat-
urday. Monday camp was removed to
within six miles of American Falls,
and work on the lower end of the Ca
nal will be prosecuted as long as the
weather will permit.
The work at camp 10 was COM
pleted three weeks eralier than the
engineer estimated 1t would be, which
is very flattering to Mr.. Hardy, who
has been in charge of the work.

egation In the National Republican
Convention. In fact, even Gov.
Hughes, of New Yokr, who after Mr..
Taft Is the strongest candidates In
the field, is not regarded as having a
ghost of show against the Secretary
of War who has conducted every deli
cate mission entrusted to him with
such remarkable skill and who is not
only heratily in sympathy with the
Presidents policies but who has sat
in the council CHAMBER and assisted
in forming many of them.
Many Senators and Representatives
are reaching Washington now and all
from the west are telling to the Presi-
dent the same story. the refusal of
the New York banks to take into con-
sideration the needs of the west as to
currency. The western bankers have
all the year been sending their cash
to the New York banks but when
September came they asked that 1t
be returned to move the crops. At
first small amounts were sent them
but later the New Workers refused
absolutely to send any money west
and the greatest inconvenience has
been caused throughout the agricul-
tural sections of the country. Secre-
tary Cortelyou apparently failed to
appreciate the situation and put all
the Treasury surplus in the New
York banks. Now, however the Pre-
sident has taken hand and insists
that every penny received from the
sale Of Panama bonds and Treasury
certificates shall be deposited in west
ern banks. With money plenty In
the west the crops can be sent east
and sold Immediately to European
buyers and European money will flow
in to relevive the shortage in the
east

district returned from Seligman, Ari-
iona, where they have been residing
for the past two years, having gone
there for the purpose of improving
their daughter Verna's health, the

the dread disease, until Tuesday, No

sad blow to the parents and family
and to the many friends residing in
this vicinity. The remains were trans
ported from Phoenix to Shelley and

pieces of the Presbyterian church Of
Idaho Falls, Rev. w. II. Jones offic-

Land Office Matters.

Three important changes have been
made in the rules Of the United States
land department which are of inter-
est to a number of people in this dis
trict. One change touches the rights
of the heirs of successful claimant
against homestead entry. Another
effects the enlargement Of desert
land claim and the third change per-
mits claimant to cease residence on
his land after filing of the final proof
and pending the hearing in the loc-
al land office.
The secretary holds that the same
conditions are imposed upon their
heirs as upon any other homesteader,
namely, that both residence and cul-
tivation are necessary. Quite a num-
her of people in this district are re-
living on the former rules and these
will now have to reside on and culti-
vate the land. M
In recent instructions to the gen
eraI land Office the secretary provides
for the enlarging of desert claims
which are not of full area as allowed
nv the act. These instructions were
as follows:

1.-THE Best Gentleman in England"
One day friend Of mine was in
London. He saw a finely dressed old
gentleman escorting a poor apple
woman across the busy streets. He
carried her basket filled with apples
and in the other hand held her UNI
brella over the woman. The streets
were crowded with teams and it was
difficult to cross them.
My friend asker a policeman who
that man was. He was so much sur
prised at the care and attention
he showed the old lady. The police
man said that is "the best gentle
men in England and he passed on.
My friend was much surprised and
when he returned to his hotel he
asked the proprietor for the name
of the kindly gentlemen. The hotel
man told him who he was and also a
story of his life.
Many years before this when this
gentleman was young man he was
in love with a beautiful girl and
was calling on her. One evening he
was late for his call. He excused
himself for his hardness saying,
"that beastly, old woman who does
my laundry was late in bringing 1t
tonight. I scolded her roundly and
sent her home without her pay al
though she wanted some money for
a sick boy she has at home. | war
rant she won't be late next time"
The young lady listened, thought
a moment, and then said, Mr.
you must excuse, me. I cannot re-
ceive you tonight or ever again"
"Why what have done? A tardy
maid is not sufficient cause for your
action" said our surprised young
man.
"No, indeed, that is not the cause
of my actions: You have mistreated
woman, a woman like your mother
and like me. / cannot trust my flu
ture life to man who has so little
feeling for my unfortunate sister,"
"She is not your sister! You do
not even know her name" blurted
the young fellow. ~
"All women are sisters. They |
have common mother, l bid you
good night, SIR" She left the room.
The young man went home and
considered the lesson.
A few days after the young lady
died very suddenly. The lesson she
had taught was learnt.
The young man went through the
world single. He never married.
Wherever he went he was always
kind to women, poor ones espec-
tally.
"Say, May, we will make this a
boys and girls club and you can be
a regular member, can't she Paul?"
said John. ,.at
"Sure!"

Futile attempts were made this ar
ternoon to settle the strike of the tel
egraph operators in this city by means
of arbitration. Representatives of the
telegraph companies rejected the
proposition with scorn, declaring they
had nothing to arbitrate. Spokesman
of the strikers said that arbitration
would be a perfectly satisfactory way
of adjusting a settlement, provided the
telegraph officials were sincere in
whatever action might be taken. The
proposition was first put up before
