To ADOPT
COMMISSION PLAN
MOVEMENT TO THAT END BEING
FAVORABLY CONSIDERED BY
PEOPLE OF THIS CITY WHO
SEEK ECONOMICAL PLAN OF
. GOVERNMENT,

For some time past quiet agita-
ton for the commisson plan Of city
government has been going on in Bis
marck until it is believed a large
percentage of the people favor such
ii movement and it is said steps will
be taken in the near future to bring
about an election to decide whether
or no change from the present form
of municipal government shall be
made.
The advocates of the commission
plan claim that it has many features
to recommend it to those who like
the maximum economy of admins
tratfon in city affairs, and that under
its provisions a better business sys-
tenn obtains than under the present
ward system.
This seems to be the result where
the commission, or Galveston, plan
of running a city has been tried.
Mandan, Galveston, Des Moines, all
claim to have been greatly benefited
by the change and the statistics fur
snished by those cities give most
interesting. and instructive reading.
In every instance there has been a
tremendous saving in expense and at
the same time municipal improve
ments have gone forward more gem
orally and with better results than
ever known before.
This being the case beyond all ques-
tion, there would seem to be no good
reason why the taxpayers of Bis
marck should not look into the mat
ter and have the opportunity Of full
" discussing the proposed change
and then deciding if they want it.

DOdging Duty.

Some folks say it is my duty, for the
Peerless One to vote; if he isn't chos-
en- captain, our ship wont stay af1oat.
but a chap gets tired of voting for
the man without a peer; can al
ways vote for Bryan, SO I'll vote for
laft this year. Change is sometimes
necessary, if this life we would enioy.
and although our sweetest boon is
voting for the Peerless Boy, vet some
little variation makes the landscape
seem less drear; 1 can always vote for
Bryan, so I'll vote for Taft this year,
Even though our children's children
hang their heads in deepest shame,
blushing for their rude forefathers
who at one time jumped the game
who in gloomy desperation voted
down the peerless dear; we can vote
for Bryan always, so we'll vote for
Taft this year.-Emporia Gazette.

Lazy Workman Is Wanted.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 16.-The North
Bank railroad wants workman who
Is lazy, the lazier the better. IN
choosing the man for the place lazi-
ness will be hired. A man is wanted
who will sit in the sun all day and
not get tired. A man is wanted to
whom the day will not seem too long,
no matter If he has nothing at all to
DO. The man is wanted to sit on the
drawbridge of the Oregon slough span
of the new Columbia river bridge and
start the motor by pressing an cleo
trio button whenever boats want to
pass the draw.
1t is estimated that steamers will
want to pass up the Oregon slough as
often as perhaps twice year. There
is no traffic on the slough now and
never has been any to speak Of.
If the job has not yet been taken
Caldwell can furnish the man unless
he accepts a place on the socialist
ticket. In that event we will pass Il
up to Nampa to furnish a man for the
place.

The Origin of the Moving Picture.

Although it is true that the moving
picture machines are of decidedly |
modern invention, the idea, or discov-
cry, upon which motion photography
is based is older than Christianity. In
the year 1870 B. G. the Egyptian scien-
fist, Ptolemus, ascertained that he hui
man eye had the property Of retain
ing a light, or object, for some time
after it had vanished from its radius.
To prove this by practical demonstra-
ton, he traced color line on a sec
ton of a piece of glass, or glazed sur
face, after which he was able to show
that by revolving the glass with great
rapidly, he could make it appear that
the comparatively short color line ex-
tended completely around it.
While the Importance of this dis
covery is now recognized, 1t was the
middle of the eighteenth century be-
fore further Investigations were made
along these lines, and practically the
end of the nineteenth century was
reached before the experiments
brought any very tangible results. 1t
is true that, during this period, sew
eral toys, like the "Wonderdrum,
were devised to provide parlor tests
of the duration of objective impress
sion upon the eye, but it was not I'M
til 1877 that the celebrated photo
grapher, Muybridge, succeeded in ac-
tually taking a moving picture. This
was a series of views in which the mo-
lions of a running horse were con-
secutively shown.
AS there was no camera that could
be used for this purpose, Muybridge
placed twenty-four cameras side b!
side at the edge of a racing track
parallel with wall facing the sun
Each camera was provided with
rand snat-shot shutter, operated b'
electricity, these being kept open b!
means of thin silk thread whici
crossed the track and was fastened Il
the opposite wall. Thus, when TN
horse came down the Stretch" h
broke the threads successfully, and a
he snapped the shutters In rapid sue
cession the effect was that OF con
| tinunua nicture
Revolutionary as this experiment
was from a scientific point of view
the practical results were anythin
but satisfactory. AS the highly ser
sitized plate had not been invente
the photographs lacked that sharp d.
tail that is SO necessary to successfl
enlargement, or reproduction, bt
when. in 1888, the dry plate appeare'
much OF this difficulty was obviate
and motion photography ceased to
the dream of theorists.-From 9TH

THE order has an annual income of
100000 of which $6,0O0,000 is spent
in relief, and similar sum for lodge
expenses. This leaves balance each
year of $3,OOO,OOO which is added to a

Sellers Must Make Water Payments.

This is the kind of announcement
which will be made In one year from
next April, to the settlers under the
Payette-Boise Water Users Associa-
ton. says the Rupert Pioneer-Record
Project Engineer Camp desires to
impress supon all settlers the fact that
the water payment which the secre-
tary of the interior claims was due
last year must be paid by December
list. Under no circumstances will any
money be received after that date on
account of this payment. Every claim
which is delinquent will be held for
cancellation and the entryman will be
given thirty days to show cause why
1t should not be cancelled. The COM
missioner OF the general land Office
has ruled that there is but one legal
excuse for failure to make payment.
That excuse is that the entryman for
warded the money before December /,
and 1t did not reach its destination
until after that date. Crop failure
sickness, hard luck nor any other ex-
cuse will be considered by the COM
missioner. An appeal from the order
of cancellation may be taken to the
secretary OF the interior"

Weekly Market Report.
There were around $4,000 sheep and
lambs on sale at st. Joseph the past
three days and there is but very little
change to denote in prices. Choice fat
lambs have been unusually scarce and
anything in that line have been sell
ing fully steady; in between kinds,
medium lambs around 10 to Is cents
lower. Good fat sheep fully steady
with the close of a week ago. The
bulk of the supplies has been west
ems and but very few natives on sale.
Best Idaho lambs sold up to 1925
with in between kinds, fleshy lambs,
SIS. 10 to $5.15. Something extra good,
had they have been on sale, would
have undoubtedly sold around $685. to
$40. There were some pretty good
yearling wethers sold for $4.10. There
has been no great number of aged
wethers on sale, best have been SELL
ing around cents. Good fat ewes
changed hands around $3.50 to $3.75.
The demand has been very good,
packers fighting hard to lower values,
but have not succeeded very much.
The past few days there has been a
good demand for all classes of feed
ers, but feeding lambs are around Is
| to rs cents per cwt. lower than a
week ago. All good feeding wethers
are fully steady with yearlings selling
at steady prices. Very good feeding
lambs have been going around $4.75
to $500; good feeding yearling weth-
ers, a little heavy weight, selling at
4 cents; breeding ewes have been SELL
ing around $3.50 to 1915. Something
extra good selling up to 4 cents. Good
feeding ewes selling at SO to 1925
The packers seem to be pretty good
buyers for all choice fat stock al
around above prices, and it looks very
much as If we will continue to see
everything selling around these
figures. Choice lambs from now OF
will probably get little scarcer ant
we may see this class of stuff selling

sell around prices that they hav'
