Boise - immigration Commissioner
allen Miller has just returned from
Boise county and he reports that a great
deal OF dry farming has been done in
that section this season. He says the
fruit and especially the apple crop is
very heavy there, and that dry farming
has been very satisfactory, the yields
having been much greater than were
expected. Grain is the principal crop,
but ON one tract he saw a fine field OF
corn, raised without water. He says
that dry farming is done on nearly all
OF one township in that section.

ELDER GERARD AGAIN.

We find IN the New York World a
fuller report of the remarks of the now
notorious Elder j. r. Gerard, in charge
of the Mormon mission at st, Louis.
This dispatch is as follows:
ST. LOUIS April 9.-"Therc is no
question that poygamy is the true and
only means OF redeemins the world from
walls" said Elder j. T. Gerard at the mis-
sion recently opened by Mormon elders
at No, 1866 Easton avenue.
"Ninety-hvc per cent of the women and
% per cent OF the men of today are not
vlrtuous." he continued. ITO every mil
Lon men there arc two million women,
This means that this extra million wom-
pose are unable TO fill the part which
God intended they should-that of re-
production, Vicious lives are encouraged.
my church imposes upon tho elders the
duty to marry the superfiuous women,
who would never be able TO attain the
highest degree Of glory If they had never
been sealed wives
"Of course we arc not teaching poly
Eamy now, because our people respect the
law. but we believe IL is right and in ac-
cordance with the teachings of the Bible
we have had eighteen converts since
The first OF the year. This is about the.
usual average. We try every house and
where We are permitted we leave Iitera-
ture. Sometimes We are repulsed: we ex-
pect that. and are not discouraged
The World heads the dispatch, "Mor-
mon Elder Drivels about Polygamy, -
which is very appropriate heading.
We have heretofore pointed out that
the Elder is letting the cat of the bag
in way calculated to bring down cen
sure upon his head from the authori-
ties-not for his sentiments, but for his
,ndiscretion in letting them be known.
1t must be exasperating TO set Of holy
pretenders to have their fervent declar-
| alton of lawabidingness so wholly set
at naught by this ebullition from the

timely.
Again, 1T must be a touch on the raw
to have Elder Gerard s experiences in
the tenderloin district of ST. Louis
preached as a sample of the moral sta
tins Of Christian community. And
1t is heart'rending to see the Elder
manufacture such census figures rs were

REMOVAL OF RUBBISH

We beg TO remind the city authori-
ties that there is a good deal of
complaint about the failure to haul
away the rubbish and garbage of the
cleanup of Arbor Day. The people
were, by the Mayor, invited to clean
up their promises, and there was the
promise that If they would do SO teams
would be provided to haul the refuse
away. 1t was a fair expectation that
this removal would be made within a
few days; that it would not be DELAYED
so that the piles of rubbish would
become an eyc,sore and offensive to the
nostrils. a citizen puts the case of the
cleaners this way;
:, we desire to call the attention of the
Health department of the city to the
fact that an unusual amount of garbage
and debris is now encumberine tho
streets, and all manner of receptacIes
are standing in an overflow condition.
We can readily see and concede that
this is an exception 10 the general rule
and account for Il through the Arbor
day order Of the Governor and the re-
quest OF the Mayor 70 make Monday last
a general cleanup day.
We all know II is an emergency. bur

these
neither pleasing to the eye nor eXhIlarat
ing to the clfactories.
1t Is, of course, reasonable to allow
some latitude in time in this matter
The town cannot make it's spring
cleanup and have the rubbish hauled
away in day. But there have been
three days now, and little progress
seems to be making. We urge that all
possible energy be devoted to this
work, and that every procurable team
be put into service, so that the clean.
up may be made complete without
further delay.
We are aware that it may be said
the former administrations were dila.
tory about this, and that the Morris
administration was especially weak in
regard TO it, and allowed the work of
removing rubbish to drag shamefully.
But that is no pattern for an American
administration, of which the people
expect better things And we urge
that this expectation should not be
disappointed,

TIE AMERICAN CLUB MEETING.

Tuesday evenings American Club
meeting was Of the right sort. There
were numerous speakers, aud each one
spoke pointedly and with force and
conciseness. A conspicuously good talk
was made by Mr.. j. n. Spalding, who
dwelt strongly upon the spirit of i'm
rrovement and progress that had been
infused into the community by the
American party. He referred with ap-
proval to the increased pay given by
this party TO laborers, and urged that
men of family and steadfast character
bo given the preference in employment,
at living wages. The appreciation of
pressed appropriately in n vote of
thanks.
S. P. Armstrong, Esq, spoke Of the
effect of the new statute in paralyzing
improvements, provided the courts
interpreted 1t as the authors of the
provision evidently intended 1t to be
interpreted. But tho American admin
istration will push on in tho work of
progress, conforming to the law, what
ever it is, and putting the blame for
delay and excess cost where it belongs.
j. c. Cecil spoke on the tyranny of
the Mormon ecclesiastical rule, and
the destruction it seeks to inhict wher-
ever it is not supreme. 1t does not de-
sire the growth or progress Of the city,
IL that growth and progress tends to
take control Of civil and temporal
affairs out of its hands Advancement
can only have its best development
where the people are free and make it
in their own way,
Other matters of interest were brought
before the meeting, as the plan for an
American day at Saltair, and consider
alton of the summer vacation and the
oncoming municipal campaign. 1T was
warm, lively meeting, and we hope
for scores more of the same sort.

SIDEWALK EXTENSION NO. 1os,

The Herald Of yesterday morning had
a protest against sidewalk extension
No los. But as it does not represent
any property there, its protest can hard
ly count. 1t may interest that butt.in,
silly paper to know that the protesting
frontage in that district represented
but 353l.60 feet, of the total of 264,-
275,s4 feet frontage in the district,
or less than ono and half per cent.
Under the law 176,lS3.90 feet would
have to protest, to have any effect.
The Herald says that the cost to
property owners of this sidewalk i'm
provement ''must be moro than $780,
600, " which is very bad guess, and
that the city's share is proportionate-
ly great for intersection and cross.
lngs,' which is too vague for anything.
What 'proportionately great" may
mean when there is no ratio of pro.
portion stated TO figure on, is hard TO
find out, but no doubt it is meant for
wet blanket on the improvements. and
scare about excessive cost to tax.
payers.
The figures are much better, however,
than the wild guess of the Herald s.
the cost of the abutters portion being
estimated at $l9S,206.Ss, and of the
city's portion S70,0SS.12 for intersec.
tions and crossings.
1t is n bad idea to wall at progress,
and lll"ndviscd TO lament over public
improvements. But it is worse many
times over to add misrepresentation and
hot'air, foolish surmisings to the reac-
tionary howls
