1t is not known who Is behind the
ordinance to increase the salaries
The motion to lay the ordinance OF

time it seems to be understood that
the majority Of the council is opposed
to the increase OF salaries. At least
two Of the city oficials referred TO sal
that they did not know anything
about the ordinance being introduced
and did not ask for any increase o.
salary.
The proposition is to raise the cit
attorney from s25 To $50 per monti
and to pay him additional for extr'
service; the city marshal from s65 y
s65 per month; the city clerk from
s55 to $50 per month; the city collecto
from s55 to $50 per month; the assesso
from el5O per year to 3 system Of pay

amount to about s225 per year; th
city engineer from fifty cents per hou
to $50 per year and $3.50 per day 70

Judge from $50 per month to $50 pc

$4,000 ACRES
Government Land in Wyoming Open
cd to Settlement.

The Shoshone irrigation enterprise
in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming,
on which the United States govern
ment is spending 100000 is being
rapidly completed.
What is known as the Corbett Tun-
mel, 1900 feet long, has just been
completed and through 1t, what Is
known as the Garland Government
canal, will supply water this spring
to 1900 acres of public land. This
land is open to homestead entry under
the usual rules modified by the provi-
sions OF the Reclamation Act. Con-
tinuous residence is required and
practically nothing is charged for the
land, the government merely charging
the settler his pro rata share Of the
cost TO the government Of the irriga-
tion works.
In this particular pSaiect this
amounts to s45.0 90 an acre, and the set
tier is expected to pay "a so an acre
per year and has ten years in which to
pay the full amount. These terms are
very favorable especially when it is
remembered that no.interest is cnarg-
ed by the government on the deferred
payments.
The government has prepared plats
showing the location and size Of each
OF the farm units, any one Of which
the settler may select.
This land Il. located along the Sho-
shone river In the heart Of the Big
Horn Basin, which lies between the
Big Horn mountains on the east and
the main range OF the Rockies on the
west, with connecting mountain ran
ges north and south. The situation is
well sheltered, the climate IA fine and
the soil as rich Us any in America,
and produces abundant crops Of oats,
barley. wheat, potatoes, sugar beets,
alfalfa and garden truck. Water is
plentiful and pure and there is plenty
OF timber and coal.
Anyone who is thinking OF settling
In a new region will do we'll to lnves-
tigate this splendid opportunity.

IT SAVES THE
BOYS, Though
In SHELBY COUNTY PR0HIRI'
TON Is FAR FROM A FAN
URE.
As Elsewhere, Says Joseph Doyle, II
Hasn't Reformed the Topers. but
it Has Kept Temptation Out
Of the Way Of Young
Men.

Macon, No., March 20. = Joseph
Doyle, president Of the Shelby County
railroad, vas In Macon to-day. Mr..
Doyleis business gives him q good OPP
portunity 10 judge the conditions
throughout his county at close quar-
lters. For fifteen years Shelby county
has been ''dry," During the recent
prohibition campaign in Macon coun-
ty, and the present lOne in the town,
it was asserted by the saloon interests
that prohibition had failed In Shelby
county and that there were more
drunken men and boys to be seen In
the towns there than In the towns Of
Macon county where there were sa-
looms. This argument was submitted
to Mr.. Doyle.
INvErERATEs NOT TO BE CONSIDERED.
"There are to be seen occasionally
drunken men in ali our towns" he
said. There is a class Of men that
will go to amy length to get whisky,
and It's members manage TO obtain
enough to keep full. But what l
know is this: Temperance is saving
the boys Of Shelby county. The
youngster don't like to go to q physi-
clan and ask for a prescription to get
whisky. He is timid about making
his first break In violating the law
Where he is raised he understands 1t
is a crime to get liquor to drink as a
beverage, and that 1t is looked upon
with reproach.
This atmosphere of restrain Sur
rounds him during the years Of bis de-
velopment, and when be is grown his
judgment comes to bis aid. Then he
knows what whisky will do for him,
and he won't touch it. II the saloon,
with its inviting influences and easy
access, had been allowed TO run the
boy might have acquired an appetite
for drink which all the prohibitory
laws and whisky cures in the world
couldn't stop.
THE TOWNS ARE PRosPERINa, TOO.
"I'm not discussing q theory. I'm
telling you my actual observations in
Shelbyville and other towns in Shelby
county. The few old men who still
maintain their cups are a small mat
ter compared with the young men who
are growing up temperate, useful and
respected.
"But the saloon revenue-how do
your towns get along without that2"
1.-THE greatest development Of Shell
byville, Shelbina and Clarence = the
larger towns Of the county--has been
while we were under prohibition
said Mr. Doyle.l
EVERY town mentioned has q good
electric light plant, the streets are
well lighted and clean and all sorts OF
municipal enterprise are under way.
Taxes are not excessive, and yet they
seem to have money enough. There
is hardly a pauper In the county In
Urinary, and we have one OF the best
buildings Of Its class in the state.n
