WATER AND SEWER
RATES DUE DAY

Today is the last chance which those
owing sewer and water rates will have
to make their payments without hay
ing the ten per cent penalty for delin-
quence added. The Office, in the base
ment of the Executive building, will
keep open tonight till the end of the
legal day, that is till midnight, to give
all stragglers a chance to pay up.
The water and sewer rates are com
ing in very well this year, much bet
ter in fact, than they did six months
ago. In the water department about
$4,000 has been collected, which is
considered as very good and probably
this amount will be increased by al
least $4,000 more before the day is
over. The sum of $4,000 was collected
yesterday alone.
In the sewer department up to last
night $7,765 has been collected, which
is nearly $4,000 more than was col
Iected up to January Is, when the rates
were last due. OF this sum $4,000 wa;
collected yesterday. The Office KEEP
open last night till almost IL O'Clock
and the clerks got the accounts com
pleted before going home.

SHEARING
COMMENCED
The Wool Is Abundant and of a
High Grade. and Has Attracted
Numerous Eastern Buyers.

The wool clipping season Is on
and in several sections of southern
Idaho this important industry is un-
der way, while already some clips
have gone east on consignment.
While the clipping season will
extend over several weeks and
there has been little done thus far,
enough has been done to satisfy To-
cal wool men that the quality of
clips this year will be fully up to
that of last season and that
there will be as much wool for sale
in Idaho as last year.
Several eastern buyers have ar
rived in this section and more are
coming, but those now here have
made no purchases as yet and
probably will not until the wool
has been gathered at shipping
points. The little already sent on
consignment will be held for
the best prices. Growers will
wait until they learn if conditions
this year as compared with former
years. Just now there is not
enough competition in this section
to cause growers to dispose of
their clips.
Large eastern buyers have COM
planned of the condition of clips
reaching markets in former years
and il is stated here that Idaho
growers show a disposition gener-
ally to improve the marke; by put
ting their clips in better shape.
Realizing that additional price
will justify more care in putting
up their wool for shipment, ISaho
growers will this year keep tags

and locks sepcrate and will tie
their flccces more carefully. Gem
orally they will not use sisa1 twi"c
this year, which has tendency to
lessen the value of the flccces.
In Utah and, it is reported, other
neighboring states, wool growers
have Joined their efforts to force
higher prices this year, believing
that buyers will make every effort
to secure their wool as chcaply as
possible. Utah growers have deter
mined to erect warehouses in some
of the larger markets and there
store their product until they can
get what they want. Idaho grow
crs will not take any such action,
believing that it would be a poor
more and that they would lose oy
it. Confidence is felt by Boise
growers that good prices will pre-
vail when competition livens up
later and that they will get fair
prices expecting from IA to II CENTS
for the better grades. Statesman.

.FIREMEN TO
GIVE BALL
Funds Derived TherefrOm to Pur-
chase More Equipment For
the Ladies'

The local fire department has de-
cided TO give another dancing party
Friday evening, May /. The pro-
cecds from this dance will be used
in securing horse and necessary
equipment for the department.
Such ambitions on the part of
the firemen should receive the
heartiest cooperation of every prop
erty owner in the city and that the
dance will be we'll patronized is an
assured fact.
Often in the past, the boys have
been called to make long runs in
the night and sometimes during the
day and the mcr ibers of the depart
ment present to pull the chemical
found it impossible to make any
speed and almost impossible TO
reach the fire. The engine is very
heavy and with sandy roads it is
exceedingly hard to get through.
A horse purchased and maintained
by the department will be great
assistance in reaching fire at the
earliest possible moment. Chief
Keller, is due no small amount OF
credit for the active part he has
taken in building up the department
and this latest move is his highest
ambition and that he will be able tc
sue ceed depends on the support
81 ven by the people.
Remember the date and be sure
! to attend.

Dry Weather in the West

Perturbation is audible in the
country west of the Missouri river
over continued aridity and indica-
tions are that dry farming methods
will be put to test during the
coming summer. Superstitious
ones contend that the time is ripe
for a dry season, such as have SER
iously injured the agricultural in
terest in Kansas and Nebraska at
irrc gular intervals in the past.
Solicitude is expressed regarding
the safety of winter wheat TOR a
corn crop in large cattle feeding
are and will be ieopardized. Colo
rado is in equally bad shape, little
snow having fallen in the noun
tains during the past winter. 1t
is claimed that when the noun
tains are bare of snow the plains
country stretching from central Col
orado to the Missouri river invar-
iablys goes dry during the following
summer. Such condition would
be tantamount TO a catastrophe
and insure continued high prices
for fat live stock of all kinds. -
