Two Licenses Granted.

Saloon licenses were granted by
the council to Meyer Bros. ano
August Thommen. No>applicatior
was made by the Red Top. A 6ght
was made by the Ministerial asso-
citation against granting IL
censes to any saloons and petition
signed by $50 voters was presented,
praying that saloons be prohibited
from doing business in the city
limits. The ministers present were
Revs. Parker, Surber and Cullison.
Rev. Magruder was unable to at
tend owing to revival services be-
ing held in his church. Rev. Park
er Was the spokesman for the asso-
citation and the petitioners and ar
gued in favor of prohibiting the
sale of liquors i'll this city The
petition was referred to a commit
tee to report at the regular meeting
next Monday night The licenses
had already been granted at a
meeting month previous, and
the action remaining to be taken
was to either approve or disapprove
the bonds of those who had been
granted licenses or rescind the ac-
tion of the previous meeting. Upon
the question of approving the
bonds, no objection was made.
The war on the saloons is not
over, however. 1t is stated the next
move will be to request the council |
to call an election within 10 days
to vote upon the prohibitory ques-
tion in this city. 1t is also stated
that the law urder which
the Dewey saloon was closed will I
be invoked in the case of the bars
of Meyer Bros. and the Russell
hotel. they being, it is claimed.

DEWEY SALOON CLOSED
Was Less Than 400 Feet of
Church Building.

A surprise was sprung by The
Ministerial association at the coun
Gil meeting Tuesday night, in tht
saloon controversy. when the
Dewey saloon, owned by Sam Nc
Laughlin, was declared to be less
than 100 fee, from the Episcopa
church briIdiJg. A committee
was appointed too investigate the
matter and. after a careful niea-
surement, the contention of the
ministers was found to be correct
and the ensuing years license was
held up.
This action is in compliance
with a city ordinance enacted in
1904 which provides that fno sa-
loon shall be located within 400
feet of any building occupied in
whole or in part as public school
or place for religious services. the
distance between such building oc-
cupied i'll whole or in part as
public school or place for religious
services to be determined by mea
suring the nearest point of each
building to the other The dis
tance waslmeasured yesterday morn
ing and found to be 3S2 feet.

land was never so brisk. Home
seekers are coming in on every

good hard cash. A few spectators
are also grabbing onto choice
pieces, but most of the sales are
made to people who will make
their homes here.
A few weeks ago a party of
Garnd Junction, Colo, people came
to this city and became so enthusi-
astic over the adaptability of this
section for fruit growing. they in
vested $4,000 in land. This week
party arrived from Grand
Junction and gobbled up so acres
of the John Burger farm. 20 acres
of slope land belonging TO B. c.
Bowers and 15 acres of the Mills
bench land-a total of 115 acres.
They planked down $500 for the !
bunch. 1t is all unimproved land. /
They consider this valley as a fruit
-aising section the equal of Grand /
and predict tie land here
will be worth $500 an acre inside
If FIVE years.
V. T. Craig has added TO his
'ench holdings, having this week
fought 40 acres of the Hanthorn

Arbor Day April IL.

Miss Bean, superintendent of
public instruction for Canyon
county, has designated April II as
Arbor Day for the schools of the
county. The day should be OBJ
served in an appropriate-manner
by every school. A nice way is
to have a suitable program, and
whatever planting is done should
be done with care and judgment so
that it will amount to an object
lesson in arbor culture.

The change produced an uncomfortabls ef- feet on thc mind of the millionaire. He knew that he was in the presence of man. whose whole heart was in the words he had spoken. He disiiked emotion. and the change of voice irri- tatod him.
 T am deeply grateful to you he said, after . pause. but may ask why you are so anxious about my welfare?"
 T will tell you" the man replied quietly; because 1t Is only in this way that can hope to appeal to you. To some men I should only speak of the greatness and nobility of the cause which I have at heart. should rely on my power to move them by an ap- peal to all that is best in their nature. But you are a thoroughly selfish man, and I can only hope to move you by an appeal to your seinshness. You are unhappy and offer you happiness.
 Mir. Lampirthy laughed. This speech pleased him more than the last. As man of business he was attracted by the matter-of.fact candor of the words.
 There is something in this fellow after all.' he said to himself. and then aloud: What is this great and noble work which will buy me happiness"
