SIMPLE HOME RECIPE.
Mix This Simple, Helpful Recipe at
Home and Try It, Anyway.

Get from any prescription pharma-
oist the following:
Fluid extract dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound kargon, one ounce;
compound syrup sarsaparilla, three
counce.
Shake we'll in a bottle and take q
,teaspoonful dose after each meal and

York daily paper, as the finest pre-
scription ever written to relieve back
ache, kidney trouble, weak bladder
and all forms of urinary difficulties.
This mixture acts promptly on the
eliminative tissues of the kidneys, en-
abling them to filter and stain the uric
acid and other waste matter from the
blood which causes rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
Affections may not feel inclined to place
much confidence in this simple mixture,
yet those who have tried it say the re-
suits are simply surprising, the relief
being affected without the slightest in
jury to the stomach or other organs.
Mix some and give it a trial. 1t
certainly comes highly recommended.
1t is the prescription of an eminent
authority, whose entire reputation, it
is said, was established by it.
A druggist here at home, when ask
ed, stated that he could either supply
the ingredients or mix the prescription
for our readers, also recommends it
as harmless.

Power Going to Waste.

Upon subject of vital interest to manv Idaho
communities, the Mining News of Elk City says:
There is great power going to waste in the
Clearwater river, simply because men with capital
have not been interested enough to make use of if
1t the same power were to be had in older and
farther advanced sections of the country, capital
for franchises that yield small dividends compared
with the profit that could be earned by power plant
on the Clearwater. Mr.. Wilson has mentioned
number OF manufactures that might use the power.
The institutions he mentions are more than posi-
b1t1es in the future, not far distant but the use
OF power in the mining districts is the point he makes
that appeals strongest to the majority of the readers

mines at this time and great deal of # con1d he
used. Cheaper power will do more to open I'D the

Prohibition or Local Option.

There is feeling III newspaper circles that some
thing is going to be done in connection with the
traffic in intoxcants in this state and some of them
feeling their way The Caldwell Tribune asserts
its favor for absolute prohibition and its opposition
to local option and the Nampa Leader-Hera1d com
menting on its position says:
theoretically that sounds all right but as mat
ter of fact it is wholly impracticabe 1t has been
tried in states where the people, as whole were
more IN favor of temperance legislation than in
Idaho, and it proved failure because public senti-
ment was not back of it. Idaho has many mining
camps, lumber camps, etc. where there is little if
any, desire to prohibit even restrict the liquor
traffic In such places attention would be paid to
prohibition law. They would have all the evils of
lntemperance without the small compensation
OF license revenue With lack of enforcement
the law itself would lose favor with temperance
people. This has been the history of prohibition
everywhere, when undertaken before the people
were ready tor it Therefore local option has come
TO be regarded as at least partial solution of this
ve1lng question Under such law those commune
ties which want prohibition get it and those which
do not are not put in position to nul1ify the laws
Another Caldwell paper, The News, endorses the
prohibition side of the discussion explaining its
position:
The temperance question will in all probability
be the subject IN some form or another for plank
IN the platforms of both Republican and Democratic
parties IN this state. The Democratic party Judging
by such comment as has reached us, will certainly
favor some regulation of a more stringent nature
than exists at present. Whether local option or
prohibition is the better plan is subject for dis
cusslon, but we believe, with the Tribune that to-
tai prohibition offers the best solution The wave
OF prohibition that is flooding the country from
END to end has assumed such gigantic proportions
that It's clamor cannot be ignored The liquor inter
ess acknowledge this fact and are girding themselves
for the fight.
Builders of sentiment against the liquor traffic
are always willing to take what they can get reserv

Mayor Clark S
Report f lied
To the Honorable City Council of the

To the Honorable City Council of the
City of Ely:
In presenting to you the foregoing
statement of the financial condition of
our city. | beg to call your attention
to the fact that at the beginning of
the new year, after paying the cur
rent expenses for 1907, we have on
hand a surplus of $4,7S6.47.
In view of this very satisfactory
cash balance, and believing that such
action could be taken without In any
manner Gripping the city auring the
present quarter, and also in view of
the unusual conditions which are
prevalent at this time. | woulG sug-
gest that no quarterly license fees
be collected by the city for tne first
quarter of 1908.
| would also call your attention TO
the fact that nuisance exists tn the
streets of the city wnien thus far has
not been remedied. | refer 10 the
old hydrants which have been in
stalled for years and which are now
of no use whatever, but serve mere
ly as an obstruction on the streets
and walks of the city. | suggest that
proper steps be taken looking toward
their removal.
| would also suggest for your corr
sideration the reduction Of the police
force. II does not seem to me that
there is any necessity for such a large
continual drain upon the treasury of
the city. and ii is my opinion thai
the services of at least one Of the
present policemen courd be dispensed
with and still leave Il sufficient force
to provide adequate protection.
In regard to the fire department, |
am proud to say that the city of Ely
has one of the best volunteer fire de-
partments of any small city IN the
west. As an improvement to that
branch, however, | offer the follow
ing suggestions:
LIST. That they be furnished with
suitable quarters to hold at least two
meetings in each month.
2nd That they be furnished with
three extension ladders to enable
them to gain access to the tops of the
large buildings of the city.
3rd. That they also he furnished

BILE for drying the hose after being

small item all were approved. This
bill was not specific enough and was
sent back on that account.
Alderman Carbon brought up the
mayors recommendation that licenses
be remitted for the quarter. He
thought il should be settled at once,
as merchants were waiting and no
licenses had yet been collected. He
did not believe il in the interests of
all TO adopt the recommendation
During the time the city has been
organized S1S,31S.06 has been re-
eeiyed from various sources. OF this,
seven-ninths came from gambling
games. Miscellaneous licenses only
footed up SIG for the last quarter,
While gambling brought in S13,S00.
The gambling licenses could not be
remitted on account of their being
collected through the county and
turned over To the city. To remit
other merchants licenses would mean
throwing the whole expense of the
city government on the gambling ele-
ment. In case all could be remitted,
after bills had been paid, the balance

city support the gambling games and

support of the saloons. There Is

Carbon asked If the saloons which
would go out of business were not
the ones in which games are not run.

II was last night determined by the
city council that for the present they
would take no action on either sus-
pending or lowering of city licenses.
An ordinance carrying street number
ing was read but no action taken. A
committee was appointed to meet
the county commissioners and a citi-
zens' committee to discuss donation
of ground to the Nevada Northern.
Beside these matters several of lesser
importance were brought up and act
ed upon.
The meeting was called to order
with all councilmen present and May
or Clark presiding. The street COM
mittee reported several small inn
proyements. City Attorney Walker
reported favorable reply from the
commissioners as To receiving city pa
tients in the county hospital.
Mayor Clark then offered his re-
port. His first recommendation was
that licenses he reduced. second
that reduction of police force be
made effective Third, that a place
be secured for the fire company prop
erty in order to protect hose and
other equipment from the elements.
Fourth, that something be done about
streets in various places. The report
was received and taken up later.
A communication from the fire de-
partment, signed by the chief and
captains of the companies, stated that
they have no place to meet and no
place TO dry hose. Chief Rowe, who
was present, asked that some suitable
place be. secured for meetings. A
place to dry hose is imperative, he
said, as il is liable to freeze and not
be available at fire. The present
bell he declared unfit for sounding
a general alarm. The old fire hose
he stated Is in fine condition and all
needed to make it effective are a few
reducers.
Andy Fesler stated that along
these lines he had made inquiries and
found a suitable lot, owned by Drs.
Frazier and Cowen, 25 by so feet,
to be had for about $500. Council
men Root and Hall with Mayor Clark
were made a committee and author
lied to take such action as they
deemed advisable.
A citizens committee. of which Mr..
Meloy acted as spokesman. was heard.
He said a petition to the board of
county commissioners asking them to
donate a portion of the court house
lot to the Nevada Northern for a de-
pot site had not been successful. As
this was the chief point on which the
road based their refusal 10 build he
thought that if the city would taken
condemnation proceedings against
the county it would have good effect
on the railroad commissioners.
Alderman Carbon opposed the
measure and finally carried his point
1t being decided that a committee OF
councilmen wait on the commission
ers together with citizens to consult
with them on the action to be taker
on the matter. This was done witt
understanding that council adjourn
until Thursday evening at 1880, wheT
