The Pocatello city council has be-
gun an experiment designed to show
the feasibility and practicabilty OF
constructing and maintaining a mu-
nlclpal water system, says an item
from Pocatello. A plot Of ground has
been purchased and the mayor au-
thorzed TO let a contract for digging
well 100 feet deep and 10 feet
square. This It is believed by the
council, will demonstrate II supply
Of pure water sufficient for the clty's
needs can be ogtained through a sys-
tenn Of wells. City Engineer Kelsey,
Of Salt Lake, a recognized authority
on hydraulic engineering was sent
for by the council a short time ago,
and after an investigation Of local
conditions gave his opinion that with
the establishment Of a system Of
wells and a pumping plant the city
could obtain an abundance Of water,

NEW THRESHING MACHINE,

characterized by it's inventor, H.
0. Sageng, as the "wonder of the
twentieth century," the new Sageng
trial in the yards of the Minneapolis
Steel and Machiery Co., today, bids
fair to realize the expectations of it's
inventor.
In the presence Of a few interested
spectators the machine was started,
a bundle of wheat pitched to the ca r.
rier and in few seconds the grain
issued from the spout at the front of
the machine and the straw was
blown through another spout at
the rear of the thresher
The machine differs from others
in that it combined both the traction
engine and the separator SO that
we're such condition imposed, the
new machine could impel itself and
thresh grain at the same time. t5'-
The machine is the invention of
H. o. Sageng, brother of Ole Sageng,
former represen tative in the legisla-
ture. He has combined in one frame
both the traction engine and the
separator, the complete outfit weigh
ing but six tons.
The engine, "a horse power. can
be rnu on 20 gallons of gasoline a
day at an average cost of 81.
It's inventor claims that but one
operator is needed, dispensing with
the fireman, engineer, water hauler,
and one or two teams, thus making
a great saving to the owner of the
outfit. ,.....

UP to the Mayor.

Having moved from theSixth ward,
E. j. Seifert terminates his tenure of
Office as an alderman for said ward
and the Office becomes vacant to be
filled by an appointee to be named by
the mayor. Two names have been
mentioned IN connection with the ap-
pointment, Ferdinand Kruger and
Charles A. kohn. Both are good
men and either would make a good
representative In the council for the
ward and as Mr.. Kohn was an unsuc-
cessful candidate at the recent munic-
ipal election against Mr.. Seifert, it
might be very gracious thing for
the mayor to appoint Mr.. Kohn to the
vacancy as the matter Of politics
should cut no figure in municipal
affairs. No mistake, however, will
be made in appointing Mr.. Kruger,
for he has had experience as men,
Der of the council and gave universal
satisfaction to his constituents. AS
has already been said, both are good
men and no mistake will be made
which ever may be appointed.

WILL PLAY POLITICS.

News Is received from Madsion to
the effect, that having lost all hope
of nominating CIV isconsin's ta7orite
son" as the republican standard bearer
in the approaching presidential cam
paign, the twenty-five La Toilette del
egates from this state will cast their
votes for him on the first ballot and
then swing to Roosevelt with the hope
of stampeding the convention and de-
feat the nomination of I aft. 1t now
looks as if the nomination of the
Ohioan was sure thing as he is the
choice of President Roosevelt, who
under no conditions would accept the
nomination if rendered him even
should he be made the unanimous
choice of the convention. 1t begins
to Looks as if the "favorite SON.
business will be carried so far, that
it may resull IN destroying the infu-
ence of the republican party in the
state, at least for the next four, pos
sibly eight years. The party is in
a critical condition in Wisconsin,
owing to the action of leaders who
have thought more of personal success
than the welfare of the party with
which they have claimed to be identi
fed. The fact, that the party is
disrupted and that there is disaffection
existing to a large extent must be-
admitted and only unity of action can
save it from defeat in the state next
fall.
