PUBLISHERS COLUMN.

The difficulties attendant upon the
establishment OF TBE BOISE CITIZEN have
been overcome and its financial re-
sources are now such as to guarantee
the permanency of the publication and
to give time and opportunity to the up
building OF the paper. The condition is
most gratifying to the management and
means the rapid improvement of our
publication. We are almost prepared
to announce the date when THE CITIZEN
will enter the semi-weekly field, which
will be preparatory to its issuance during
the great presidential campaign of next
year as tri-weekly.
The management is determined to
make THE CITIZEN the most vital and
aggressive factor in behalf of the Dem
ocracy in the state OF Idaho and to this
end asks the earnest cooperation of all
citizens who believe in a free and fair
discussion of public issues.
Our subscription lists continne to
grow most satisfactorily and we have
lnaugurated a vigorous campaign for
800 additional subscribers, which num-
Der we believe will justify us in entering
The semi-weekly field. Recent new sub
cribers are as follows:

 Judge Mathewsof said:
 We have had between thirty all forty boys in the city court who hal been brought up for thefts of tls character, and I am heartily in favs of something that will improve the sA uation if possible. In August we hH quite a number of cases of. gas thea up in the court. During that monI l became very tired of having to sei tence and fine these boys.

T believe" said Mr. Seymour, that the experience of the city of New Ha- ven will be the experience of other cities. It will be a saving proposi- ton"
 William s. Pardee supported the general plan of the city beautiful com mittee, comparing the utility of the scheme with that of the sewerage plan. He remembered when the sewer system had been laid out by an engineer (Cheesebrough) years ago, and that system had been a success. If the city paid for the expenses this fact would carry greater weight, he thought, with the public than if the payment of it were left to private in- dividuals.
 Samuel R. Avis and L. w. Robinson followed this speaker with remarks supporting the project City Attor- ney Simpson also had word to say favoring the plan. Frederick D. Grave and Phelps Montgomery follow ed. The latter called the city beauti- full committee patriots.
 The board or nnance listened 10 both sides of the question, the greater amount of the talk furnished proceed ing from those in favor of the pay ment of the money. The board ad- iourned the meeting at 9:30 o'clock and went into the consideration of es- inmates. There was no result an nounced
 MT. Lewis, who presided at the ses- sion, said that the hearing was per fectly legal one, and it was his belief that the matter could come legally within the purview of the board.

zens, and they should pay ther own bills and not ask the citizens of the city of New Haven to do so. The proper way for this thing to be done is to petition the board of aldermen and they would refer it to the proper committee and there would be a hear ing upon it."
 You have no business" said Ed ward Mccarthy to the board" to con- .sider anything extraneous. You have no power under these sections to give these men a hearing. don't see as you have any legal right to hold this meeting"
 However, MT. Lewis ruled different ly, and those in favor of the appro- priation were heard first. The first speaker was George D. Seymour, one of the city beautiful committee, who alluded to the absence of Governor Woodruff who regretted his inability to be present. The governor thought that the amount, s5,000. should be paid by the city.
 T consulted good many citizens about the matter" said MT. Seymour "and it seems to be the universal opinion that this is thoroughly city affair and that the expenses should be borne by the city"
 ''The governor believed this way. believe that Mr. George D. watrous, another member of the committee, was present at this meeting with him.
 "This proposition intends to provide a working scheme which may be fol- lowed for number of years by the park commissioners.
 According to the last report of the park commissioners it is proposed to develop the property they have. New Haven is practically alone in having no park plan.
 q am sorry the governor is not here to present this matter He is very much interested in it, and is convinced that 1t is proper that the city should pay this out Many people have thought that the adoption of any plan would involve the expenditure of a lot of money and also increase the tax rate This is quite foreign to the plan."
 In answer to questions of MT. Car roll, MT. Seymour entered into an elu- cidation of the plans of the city beau tiful committee as they have already /, been published.
 Mir Seymour said:
 "The city beautiful committee will always be glad to receive any sugges- tions. Their idea is not to recommend | improvements that would benefit one class more than another. MT. Olmsted, one of the experts who has been called in, now for instance is in favor of the improvements of the parks used by the poorer classes of the people first" There were many other speakers in favor of the appropriation. Among these were Attorneys Harry G. Bay and George Hall.
 There is such widespread interest in this movement" said MT. Day, that ] I am sure that this board will not be influenced by any technical objection" ;"

ELKS' RURAL FAIR
 COMES TO CLOSE
J. H. Kelly Lands the Pig After
 Contest With Frederick Von Beren.
DINNER THUS GIVEN UP
List of Prize Awards to SuG- cessful Contestants in
 Big Events.

In a blaze of glory the Elks' country fair, which has attracted more thah local attention during the past three days. came to close last night with the awarding of the prizes and the shutting up of the country store, one of the chief attractions of the fair
 The country store did not go bank rupt Nothing like that. It sold out. The way it happened was something like this: The cheese, butter, fruit, and everything of the native was gone, but there still remained the pig, the ownership of which has been agitating the EIks for several days When the ownership was decided the fair closed, and J. H. Kelly carried away the pig.
 There had been a tie between Fred Won Beren and J. H. Kelly over the ownership of the pig and MT. Won Ber- en invited large number of~%guests to dinner in popular cafe at which the porker was to have been served. The method of proving the ownership, however, ended in Mir Kelly landing the animal and free lunch of an es- pecially fine quality will greet the as- senbled guests of Mr. Won Beren to- day.
 The whole fair was one of the most successful events in the history of EIkdom in this city, and those who went any of the nights will look for ward with pleasure to another such happening. Following is list of the award of the prizes:
 Silk umbrella, Anna Moakley; order for dozen photographs, Master E. O'Donnell; fish set. MT McGlynn; soup tureen, N. P. Coffey; skates, H. Bretz- fielder.

 pany Says Mellen Has Grievance. Some very interesting opinions were expressed in Hartford yesterday con- corning President Mellens speech.
 President Dunhan's View.
 President Sylvester C. Durham, of the Travellers Insurance company, said Some of President Mellens talk was very good; some of 1t not so good It is a thing, however, that will go all over the country and will be read with Ia great deal of interest. It is a strong statement very brilliant and clever, but sarcasm is a dangerous weapon. I doubt if it is as telling as it might be. Understand I do not want to be quoted as saying that it was a mistake for President Mellen to speak in sar- casm, but it may bespeak a lack of eomposure and coolness in summing up the present situation.
 T think he was inclined to over- state somewhat, when he placed with President Roosevelt the entire re- |sponsibility for the present disturb ances I do not think the president

 "The New Haven Gas Co. puts in one of these prepay meters, and holds the people in the tenement responsible if it is robbed. Of course. you can get a regular meter put in in which it will not be necessary to deposit any quarters, but before doing so, you have to plank down $5 bill"
