CITY HALL PLANS.
COUNCIL Approves Suggestions
Of Architect for RemodeIino
the Building,
TO ADD 10 ARxoRY PART
Changes viii Give Additional Office.
Quarters and a Large Session
Room on Third Floor.

At the adjourned meeting of the city
council yesterday afternoon the plans
for the remodeling of the city hail
building were partially approved by
the aldermen. A representative OF
George P. Stauduhar presented sketch
es showing the proposed changes, and
the plans, so far as they relate to the
main portion of the building, were APP
EHoved, and the architect instructed to
complete the plans and furnish an es-
innate of the cost.
The changes TO be made in the main
part of the building include the sub
stitution of a modern entrance for the
unsightly wooden steps on Third ave-
nue., and changes on the second floor
to include the division of the present
council chamber into offices for the
mayor and the city attorney, and the
establishment of offices for the plumb
ing inspector and the police matron on
this floor also. South of the present
stairway to the third floor a tier of
cells for female prisoners will be
built, conveniently near the matron's
office. The rooms in the armory now
used for dressing rooms will be con-
verted into a double row Of cells, for
male prisoners.
Change Council Room.
The most important changes will be
on the third floor, now occupied by
the militia companies. The large north
east room will be converted into a
council chamber, with fully twice as
large an audience room as the entire
present council chamber on the sec
ond floor. The room will afford a more
convenient arrangement for the alder
mems desks. The long room on the
west side will be devoted to offices for
the city engineer, and south of this
will be an Office for the health COM
missioner. The present locker room
of the company, just south of the large
room, will be divided into a public
lobby and committee and coat rooms
for the aldermen.
Add Story to Armory.
The plan is to leave the militia drill
room of the armory as it is now, and
to build another story above, where
the company club rooms, locker ROOM
officers quarters, and other apartments
will be located.
The improvements as now planned
can be made for comparatively small
amount, and will greatly add to the
convenience and attractiveness of the
huiIdiDg The changes will DrOve of
material advantage to the city, and
will also improve the quarters of the
militia.
Inspect Tracks.
The aldermen inspected the location
and proposed changes of the Rock Is
lands tracks on the river front be-
tween Eleventh and Thirteenth streets,
and on reassembling voted to refer the
ordinance and petition to the street
and alley corr nittee to report at the
next meeting. The permission to
change the tracks will probably be
granted by the council.
The ordinance for the construction
of sewer on Seventeenth street from
the new Best building to connect with
the Fifth avenue drain at Fourth ave-
hue was adopted by unanimous vote.
The sewer will be built by special as
sessment, and will cost, according to
the estimate, about $S,640.60.

KINGS HILL IRRIGATION PROJECT
WILL OPEN $4,000 ACRES OF LAND

Wide interest has been stirred by the
announcement that the Kings Hill r.
rigation & Power company will on Oct
IL open 1900 acres of southern Idaho
land for settlement. Inquiries have
been so numerous in Salt Lake that
Taylor brothers. agents of the Kings
Hill company, have arranged with
President c. H. Hammett of the COM
pany to have John NJ. Whitaker taken
over the entire tract in an automo-
bile, so that he may make a careful
study of the land and the work that
mas been done to reclaim it.
The land will sell for so cents per
acre and the water rights will be sold
at S65 per acre. One tenth of the pur-
chase price of water rights will be
payable at the time of drawing and
the remaining payments will be made
to cover a period of ten years with 6
per cent interest.
1t is predicted that the Kings Hill
district will become, within a short
time. one of the greatest fruit sections
of the country. The strong points

line of the Oregon Short Line railroad.
The land segregated lies along the south
side of the Snake river and parallels
the main line of the railway for short
distance east Of Glenns Ferry to the
mouth of the Malad river. None of the
land at any point is over three miles
from the railroad.
The water supply for this irrigation
enterprise is to be taken from the Ma

and will be conveyed across the Snake

taken from the Malad quite a distance
below where the railway crosses that
stream. Persons who have seen that
river only when crossing it by rail can
nave but a very inadequate idea of
the flow of the river. The Malad hard
ly deserves the name of river until after
1t enters the Snake river canyon, a mile
and half or so above its mouth. Here,
fed by thousands of springs, il sud
denly changes from small creek TO a
narrow, but very deep and fast-flowing
stream, with a fall of $50 feet for the
last mile of its flow before emptying

At the point of it's diversion engi-
neers have reckoned that the Malad
river has a minimum flo~V of twice that
OF the Boise river. The Malad here
has flow of 100 second feet and the
company has the right to use It all for
irrigation purposes. However. il will
take out 300 second feet for the pur-
poses required for irrigating the land
now segregated. The entire flow win
be carried by flume to the Snake river.
Here the 800 second feet will be con-
veyed across the river, as stated, for
the land, and the rest, or $50 second
feet, will be diverted for power pur-
poses. The company will construct a
power plant for the benefit of the tract

]. Y. RICHS BAD BREAK CAUSES
ROBBER TO TAKE WEDDING RING

/, saved the s. 900 or S. 900 which the bandit
did not get was in one Of the first Of the
stages which started away from the hotel
in the morning. The robber allowed few
of the vehicles to pass without stopping
them That is the manner in which the
well-filled purse Of the California man
escaped him, according to my recollection
of what was said after the tourists were
able to meet and compare notes.
The robber was mean enough to carry
off Mrs. ]. Y. Rich's wedding ring. This
was probably because Mr.. Rich angered
him. Mr.. Rich. thinking that the man
might have been a weakling who would
not shoot If put to the test. tried mild
experiment by handing the robber let
ter of introduction. The jab in the ribs
resulting from Mr.. Rich's investigation
into the extent of the mans ferocity was
convincing and Mr.. Rich parted with his
purse.
The bandit, evidently still angry, took
Mrs. Rich's ring just for 'cussedness.'
THE women among the tourists dis
played remarkable courage and self-pos-
session. The strain of the adventure re-
suited In the collapse of one woman, after
the trouble was over, but the others did
not seem to be greatly disturbed"

The trouble came about as a result of
