President Roosevelt declared thai
the only patience he would exercise
in restraining the department OF
justice from proceeding with an i'm
junction suit against the copper
company would be to make an in
vestigation to ascertain iwhether .
practical method is possible for the
extraction from the fumes Of the
smelters the poisonous substances
which are doing SO much damage.
The President will send an expert
to Ducktown, Tenn. to investigate
several smelters located there on
which it is claimed appliances have
been placed which extract the sul-
phur and arsenic from the fumes at
a profit. If this investigation proves
the praticability of the appliances
which were placed on the .sn,elters
after a decision by the supreme
court obtained by the state Of Geor
gia against the company, the presi-
lent will order the department Of
Justice to proc eed with an injunction
,uit.

Wants Greater Fair.

The.folloing dispatch from Cald-

the people residing in the southern
part of the state: At the meeting
of the directors of the Canyon
County fair association just held.

to make extensive improvements

buildings and other general fea-

WOULD DIVIDE CANYON
COUNTY.
Payette and Nampa Secretly
Planning to Form
New Counties. !.

A county division scheme that is
NapoIeonic in its ingenuity was
hatched at Nampa Sunday night,
when number of prominent men
from Payette. Nampa and Emmett
met (by chance, of course) in the
Dewey Palace hotel and parceied
out Canyon county with as liberal
hand as if it was SO much pie.
The meeting was a secret one.
The personnel of the conclave is
not known to The Index. Ed
Dewey Uf Nampa and Colonel Moss
of Payette were among those pres
ent however, and were the big
medicine men. Emmett was rep
resented by John McNish and Ed
Hayes. Just why these men were
invited is not clear, unless it was
expected that Emmett was as
easy as ever, and would offer
no objections to the proposed
scheme.
Now. here's the way these seces-
sionists have sliced up Con paperl
grand old Canyon county. Take
down your map of the county and
draw line from the eastern bonn
dary of the county straight west
midway between Nampa and Cald-
we'll. across the Snake river, tax
ing in big slice of Owyhee coun-
ty, thence south far enough to
meet a line drawn from the south
eastern corner of the county. That
is to be Nampa county. with Nam
pa as the county seat.
Payete county is to include the
Payette valley up to the Idaho
Northern;right of way and the tefriz
tory east of the river. This would
take in West Emmett, the canning
factory, McNish S sawmill and the
bench. Of course, Payette expects
to land the county seat.

thing left of us is to put Caldwell

shooting match--and cut down ex-
penses by keeping house together.
The. scheme those Nampa and
Payette fellows have fixed up is all
right fit will pan out The on
ly serious drawback is that the
legislature may not become as en-
thusiastic over it as the promoters.

Dog Poisoner Around

Someone whose Quality of ner-
cy" has been strained through a
coarse mesh, has scattered strych-
nine around town and many val
liable dogs have been killed. D..
NJ. Stokesberry, Dad Demasters
and number of farmers have lost
their CANNES and there will be
trouble for the fellow if he is found
out. According to the statutes, it
is crime to set out poison for any
purpose without first giving notice
and the one who does lays himself
liable to severe punishment.

The city council Friday night
awarded the contract for the con-
straction Sof the city waterworks
system complete to j. II. Forbes
& Co. of Caldwell at their bid Of
118.783. The other bidders were: !:
Thomas Finnegan Of Boise ft8.-
635; Strange & Armstrong. Salt
Lake. @i8, 748; Idaho Hardware
and Plumbing Co.. Boise. $19 245.
By the terms of the contract
work must begin within 30 days
and the system be completed with
in 100 days from the date of sign
ing the contract. A perusal OF
the bids submitted show that both
Thomas Finnegan and Strange &
Armstrong submitted lower bids
than the Forbes company and no
doubt many will wonder why one
of them was not accepted. The
reason given by the council for
the rejection of both the lowest
bids is that Finnegap neglected to
state the kind of pump, pipe and
tank he would furnish, as called
Tor by the specifications. Strange &
Armstrong; bid stated that if a !
Worthington pump was required
heir figures should be raised 1858. |
The Forbes bid specified Worth
ngton pump. but stated that a re-
luction of $500 would be made if |
my other pump was used. 4
