Birmingham. Dec. 12-tSpeoial.)--
 The regular eenai ai-monthly meeting oi the Birmingham City Council will bs held Wednesday evening, and the iudi. cations are that there will be tremen. dous crowd of spectators on hand tc see what is, done.
 The City Council has been under some warm comment for several weeks, ssv. eral of the Aldermen being under more or less criticism through the press and by public meeting. for electing A. A. GambilI an Alderman in tho Tihrd ward over the protest of citizens of that ward and after primary had been held and another man had been nomin- ated for the position.
 The meeting Wednesday night will take some action on the situation in the Sixth Ward. Alderman John c. Forney has rendered his resignation. He was accused of having an option on c piece of property the city was about to pur- chase for SEQ GOO and since bought for tte,00O. The resignation. in all proba- biiity. will be accepted and vacancy declared.
 It is not likely that the board will aI- low the matter to go back to the people of the ward as was done in the Third Ward Case, but as soon as 1t can be done so legally, the board will make its own selection of an Alderman. This is likely to bring about a hue and cry. The people of the ward may demand that they be allowed to hold q primary. If the board decides to do it's own se- lecting. it Is more than likely trat q man will be chosen who is in line with the majority.
 The Judiciary committee is expected to make a report on the report of the special committee appointed a month ago and which was handed in at the last meeting. declaring that the conduct of Alderman Simon Klotz. of the Second Ward, In accepting a fee of s4oO after a deal had been made whereby the city purchased some property on the south- side to be used for crematory purposes, as being unbecomlng.
 It is rumored that the judiciary com mittee, which is headed by Alderman Fulghum. against whom charges were made year or so ago that he had giv- en or had promised protection to a man in the segregated district. will return a report to the council passing over the Klotz report, perhaps offeing censure to the Alderman.
 Many other matters are to come up. If runor is to be believed. the major ity of the Council will provide some

AMERICAN
FALLS GOES
DRY"
TALBOT HURT THE SIDE HE
TRIED TO HELP.


.
The "wets" and "drys'' worked
hard In the election at American
Falls Tuesday and the result was an
overwhelming victory 70 rthe "drys."
One report gives the vote 10S to 81,
while another gives 108 to ga. A
number of lectures have been deliver
ed on the temperance question there
in the past few months, and on Mon
day night Mrs. Shepard spoke in the
church while Truxton Talbot, editor
of The Pocatello Advance and The
Power City Times, spoke for the
'wets" in some other building, on
the subject, THE Saloon as Moral
Faction" We suppose he meant
factor but perhaps, he took them
as a faction"
Mr.. Talbot stated in his Pocatello
paper Tuesday that his meeting was
SO generally attended that few were
left to make up an audience for Mrs.
Shepard"
A dispatch sent from American
Falls to the Boise Statesman Monday
night, gotten up in Talbot's phraseol-
ogy and probably sent by him, says
that the people seem about evenly
divided on the question, and that If
the "wets" win by small majority
the credit must be given to Mr.. Tai
bot
The returns show that II Talbot
had any influence 1t was detriment
to the side he sought to help. He
just started his paper there few
weeks ago, supposedly to serve the
brewery interests, although he denies
this as might be expected and state
ments that If he had gotten In there
sooner they might have won, are now
relieved of their force and effect by
the showing that most of the town
turned out to hear him speak and the
next day went to the polls and cru

NO HERD DISTRICT FOR ABER-
DEEM.

A petition was presented to the
commissioners for their consideration
Tuesday, asking that herd district
be created to cover considerable ter.
ritory along the west side of the riv.
er from Tilden and Grand View
south to the county line, but the mat
ter asked for in the petition was de-
MED
There was opposition to the crea-
tion of the herd district, and about
fifteen stockmen and farmers from
Tilden, Otis, and Yuma we're there
to give evidence against it, Quite q
number of these men were sworn and
examined, and all of them testified
that in their judgment it would be a
damage to the country at large. Each
of them stated that he would con-
slider 1t damage to his interests, and
some of them stated that 1t would re-
duce the value of their farms one
half. They took the view that the
free range was capable of supporting
several thousand head of cattle, and
that about $500 are now being raised
on the range. That If the herd dis
trict was established, all this stock
would have to be taken out of that
part of the country, This, they claim
ed would destroy the market for the
hay which is the principal crop rails
ed In the bottoms, and it would re-
move and destroy much of the tax
able property of that district. One
witness said it had been claimed that
the cattle damaged the canal banks,
but that he considered 1t an advant-
age to the canal to have the cattle on
the banks. Some claimed that the
settlers could fence their farms for
500 apiece and that they ought to
do 1t. Several said that II the set
tiers would build lawful fences, four
wires high, that they would have no !,
trouble with the cattle. One or two
stated that a fence three wires high
would be ample protection. Several
of them stated that If the herd dis
trict were allowed they would move
out of the country. Some said they
considered herd district damage
to the settlers who were asking for
1t.
The petitioners had nobody, there
to represent them, and the opposition
to it was led by Attorney Hansbrough
in behalf of the stockmen. The Pc
titioners had a majority of the resi-
1ents in their territory listed on the
document, but the board decided that
according to the evidence submitted,
t was not for the best interests of
he country at large to establish the
lerd district and the petition was de-
lied.
