ON CAREY LANDS

Grant Holt and family took a
trip last week to Aberdeen, Ban
mock and Pocatello. He was very
much impressed with the new
farms along the big canal, and
with the dry farm products be-
tween American Falls and Poca-
tello. Mr.. Holt took home
stead mile and a halt from Ban
mock station last spring, and some
of his neighbors are harvesting
crops now, raised without irri2a-
ton. He brot up some samples
of potatoes which were very large
and grew abundantly on spring
blowing with no water. AT Ameri-
can Falls they visited d. Burrell
who is in the employ Of The Fall
Creek Sheep Company, and in
their big store is rest room for
ladies which took Mrs. Hoit's eye,
and Mr.. Holt says it is the best
addition to big store that he has
thot of.

DALKE AND LAUMER
TO FIGURE IT OUT

A weighty problem was shifted
last night to the shoulders of
Councilmen Dalke and Laumer
when the question of the advis-
ability of streetgrade and viaduct
on Walnut st, from Bridge av. to
Northwest boulevard was referred
to them. Attorney Pat Shine APP
peared on behalf on property own
ers to be benefited and said that
at present the only outlet of the
North Side was on Monroe ST. and
Howard ST, where people run
chances of delay at crossings
blocked by railroads. City Engi-
neer Mcintyre has prepared plans
for concrete, steel and wood via
ducts. The latter is favored by
property holders.

no AGREEMENT ON
PRATT AMENDMENT

After two hours wrangle last
night over the Pratt amendment
to the water main ordinance voted
question remained where it was be-
fore except for information from
Corporation Counsel Hamblen, who
said that the ordinance was word
ed may which would indicate
discretionary powers on the part
of the board of works that has
charge of new water installations.
Councilmen Pratt. Dalke and
Laumer spoke in favor of allowing
some mains to be put in under the
old system. In such cases the
property owners guarantee the
city II per cent rentals, and real
estate men who water additions
put in their own extensions, col
lect a rent until they have over
come the cost and then give the
city charge. 1t is evident that real
estate men are behind this last
proposition.
The new system is a burden
upon corner lot owners who al
ready have water, as according to
the plans of the district assess
ment scheme they would be com.
PEELED to pay twice. There should
be some way Of remedying the
propositions besides going back to
the old system which yearly has
plunged the city about 100000 in
debt Definite action on this is
expected at the next regular coun-
Gil meeting.

However, the most potent reason
for the exposition's failure is found
in the purpose of a party Of the
original promoters to engineer a
clever real estate speculation. 1t
was figured that the exposition was
to bring improvements to the bar

chosen for the site. and the pro-

earned increment by becoming
owners of this land.
This Influenced the choice of the
eXposition's site, and the most I'M

the inaccessibility of this site. To
reach the place boat trip from
Washington of IL hours was re-
quired, and there never has been a
time when there were enough boats
to handle the traffic comfortably.
In addition to which there were
no facilities at the exposition for
covering the grounds, and the Wis
itor was subjected from the begin
ming to all manner of petty imposi-

in congress to foil the efforts of the
lobby to try to make the govern
ment "a goat for this losing spec

jamestown Exposition Nearly Ended In a
Flat Failure
BY gibson GARDNER

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 90
The jamestown exposition has
proved an abject failure. 1t is
hopelessly bankrupt The govern.
ment is to lose the million dollars
it loaned, and a LOBBY is preparing
to invade Washington to try to sad
die the public treasury with the
other two million dollars of the ex-
POSITIONS debt.
The failure must be credited to
bad management. There are many
contributing causes, but the chief
trouble has been that it was very
largely in weak. incompetent
hands. 1t was a bungle from the
start. A receiver is expected to
take charge the instant the gates
close Nov. 30
The total liabilities of the expo.
sition, according to official figures,
will reach the sum of $3,465,000.
The total assets are $4,000.
Therefore the exposition is ban
krupt to the tune of $2,S50,0O0. Sec
ond mortgage bonds will be due
next month for $4,000. There
are first mortgage bonds due next
year for 100000, and the exposi-
ton owes the United States gov
eminent up to date $888,000.
The assets of the exposition con-
sist of the permanent improve
ments to the real estate, estimated
at 100000 Fixtures and furniture
$4,000 and unpaid stock subscrip-
lions 500 900.
The exposition has cost over
s. 100000 The buildings put up
by the exposition company cost
81 ,75000 Those erected by the
states 81 100000, and those by con-
cessionaires $1,O00000 T he gov.
eminent and exhibitors each have
spent about 100000.
The total gate receipts to date
have been about S508,000 The daily
expenses have been 1000. The ex-
penses have from the beginning
been greater than the receipts.
Harry st. George Tucker, pro-
moter and first director general OF
the exposition, will naturally have
to take a great share of the blame,
as he would have had the credit if
it had been a success. Mr.. Tuck
er is a charming southern gentle
man, but when it came down to
business he was simply the limit.

SPOKANE UNIONS PUT
JONES ON RECORD

To the Central Labor union cred
it is due for placing Congressman
Jones squarely on record in favor
of government postal savings
banks. Some time ago the central
body addressed letter to Mr..
Jones asking him to introduce into
congress a bill providing for tho
establishment of postal banks.
Mr. Jones has made his reply pub
lie in a communication to the CEN
trail body and various newspapers
of the state, in which he goes on
record unreservedly in favor OF
such banks.
In some respects Mr. Jones is
to greater extent peoples
representative than any other con-
gresham or senator in the nation S
capital from this state. He is in
favor of the initiative and referen-
dunn and is on record with other
members of the house and senate
for this political reform.
1t is predicted by his friends that
he will make one of the best sena'
tors this state has ever had if
elected to that body.

crowd of late drinkers at Sloggy
& Pixies saloon were startled
about l o'clock by the sound of
crashing glass and ran in the d.
rection. The clothier's show win
dow was a wreck, within was a
brick which had evidently been

the aim was too deadly-the jar

points of resemblance to the w.

WILL CONTEST
ANNEXATION

Attorney F. NJ. Dudley served no
tice on the council last night that
the annexation scheme was to be
contested in court. Corporation
Counsel Hamblen was instructed
to investigate the validity of the
annexation election which Attor-
ney Dudley challenged
The technically under which
Dudley will proceed in the inter
ests of those. opposed to expansion
is the fact that although the bal
lots contained a description of the
territory proposed to be annexed,
the notices of election did not.
