nature Of the governor,
The principal provision of the bill,
Is q straight license of 1850 for every
saloon, OF whatever grade, Ia the
state. Heretofore there has been
graduated system, from 400 TO 1900,
and then to $500.
The bill was at one time passed with
q graduated scale, providing 1900
license for precincts or subdivisions
under $50 voters; $500 up 10 500
voters, and 1850 above 400 voters.
At the time this amendment was
agreed to-which was after the bill
had been recommended To the house
from the committe OF the whole, whit
q straight license fee of s75o--an.
other amendment was made requiring
the county commissioners to refuse TO
grant license In precincts where
majority Of the voters petitioned a
gainst II. Later, this amended bill
was returned TO the committee of the
whole, the petition provision was
stricken out, and the straight license
fee restored. Some amending was
done In the senate, but nothing
affecting the general provision Of the
bill
Besides the license Zee, the measure
requires q bond Of $4,000 before a
license can be issued. This bond
may be collected in case Of prosecu.
tions arising out Of misconduct or
illegal selling Of liquor. The com
miasioners may refuse to grant a Ii

in their judgement It shall not serve
the best interests Of the people Of the
community. The old law did not

without the use Of drugs.
Five months ago Charlie came to

scarcely been able to hold his posi-

at the conclusion that be was suf-
fering from Bright's disease, an in
durable maIady, and gave him nc
hope of cure. The parents spared

Our boys engaged In game last

and went down with utter defeat, the
score being 81 to 0. Tomorrow they
will meet the team from The Poca-
tello High School in a game at the
Fairgrounds. Prof. Siders and large
delegation from his school will come
up on the moring train for a days
sport and If they do not play gentle
mans game we will have something
to say about it. We can say nothing
about the game last Saturday, be-
cause we were licked" and it would
look like making a holler," but the
purpose of foot ball Is to make men,
not scores, and when those engaging
in the game lose sight of the rules
of the game and the principles of
fairness, 1t is as much perversion as
living to eat. We hope Prof. Siders
boys will come determined to be fair
at every turn whether they win or

The Financial Situation.

An unbalanced condition of the f.
nances of the country has occurred,
such as at other times would have
caused panic, but it is passing over.
and 1t Is belived by leading bankers
that the danger is all over. All seem
to agree that panic is i'm possible
If people will refrain from making
runs on banks and from withdrawing
their money from banks to hoard 1t.
That is the greatest danger, and IL
this were done at any time a panic
would follow, provided; of coures,
that the movement were general.
Herodic measure have been taken
to prevent this, and many business
men are helping by making their
checks payable in bank credits" In
stead of cash, and If person wants
cash, they will be given small
amounts on checks, but not large
sums. Railroad companies accept
checks In payment for tickets, and
all big concerns are doing whatever
they can to Offset, the acts of peo-
pie who are scared and want to get
their money out of sight and out OF
use.

Good Lecture Course Coming.

1t makes a great difference to a
town whether the play houses are
used by clap-trap shows or some
thing instructive. People who are in
the habit of using their time to good
effect, have feeling of disgust for
a show that is given merely for
patime, and carries no culture or
moral lesson with it. Take, for ex-
ample, people who have been raised
in college town wher good lectures
and good musical entertainments
were the rule, and contrast them
with the people of q factory town
where money was more plentiful and
amusements were Of the ragtime-
clap-trap order, and the one class at
tracts, while the other repels. The
one class has comforts where the
other will only eke ont exlstance.
The one is sensibly economical the
other disgastingly extravagent. 1t is
a matter of education, and, habit that
one begins to cultivate, is likely to
grow upon the individual until it is
the ruling element.
Blackfoot has made spasmodic eff
forts to get good entertainments,
good lectures etc, but it has gener-
ally worked under difficulties, and is
In better position now to secure them
than ever before. Elsewhere in this
issue are notices of entertainments
that are of the educational type, and
we commend them to the considera-
tion of the public. 1t is not how
many, but how well selected, are the
shows, that we should be particular
about

New Rules for Carey Lands


The rule state that when water is
available at the time of the filling
the prospective settler may have six
months time in which to establish a
residence.
1t was also held by the board that
tracts not contiguous may be filed
on at one time, but the tracts can
not be located in the same segrega-
tion. The reason for this is that if
the two We're in the same segregation
water would naturally be supplied on
both tracts simultaneously and the re-
quired residence on doth could not be
maintained.
