Dry Farmers Hold Annual Meetins.

The Dry Farm Association met
Wednesday at the Hotel Remington,
listened to reports of Superintendent
A.W. Davis, elected a board of directors,
decided upon the purchase of a little
more equipment, and the making of
few improvements and adjourned. The
directors for the ensuing year are r. 3.
Greenwood, 7. (. st. John, William
Morton, F. H. E. Doris and A. w.
Davis. There is about 500 acres in
grain, of fall sowing, and about 600
acres plowed. Some new seeders will
be purchased and the 800 acres put in
as early as possible, as results last
year were strongly in favor of early
seeding. The big plow will be started
early, but whether any of the spring
blowing will be seeded or not has not
been determined Another well will
be sunk and tank constructed to bring
water closer TO the engine.
The board of directors will meet in
the near future and elect superintend-
ent, and make plans for the following
year.

Al an adjourned regular session of
the village trustees. Thursday evening,
the license ordinance WAS revised. The
only change of Importance was the
raising of saloon license from $loo to
81. 600 per year.
The session was held for the purpose
of considering the ordinance, and il
was read twice by title and once at
length. and passed under suspension of
the rules, by the following vote: Yeas,
Clifford. Johnson, Rowberry: nays, Nc
kown; absent, Elliott.
McKown explained his opposition on
the ground that the effect of the ordi-
nance would be to virtually give those
now in the business monopoly, as the
amount was so high as to keep others
out, Ii was not question of saloons
or no saloons. AS long as we are to
have saloons he said he would just as
soon have six as one, and he did not
believe il was the proper thing to do to
fix the rate so high as to keep anyone
out of the business who desired to locate
here for that purpose. The passage of
the ordinance so soon after the payment
of the annual license at the old rate
would work an injustice on anyone de-
string to start in the near future.
Chairman Clifford was the spokesman
for the advocates Of the ordinance. He
urged that it would be easier to con-
troll the undesirable element that drift
ed in from time to time, If the saloons
were restricted in number. Mr.. John
son was willing to make the license
even higher.
The passage Of the ordinance has
caused much favorable comment, and
the expression frequently heard is that
it marks the passing Of low license in
American Falls. Two of the trustees
are opposed to the traffic under all cir
cumstanccs, the other three favoring
high license and the limiting of the
saloons. The license, government,
county and village, is now 81, 760. The
ordinance IL - follows:

the doctor scarcely left his bedside un-
Ill the end came. He was too much
exhausted 10 withstand the administer
ing Of chloroform. Arrangements were
made 20 take him to the hospital at Po-
catello on the midnight train. but he
had sinking spell when they began to
prepare him for the trip. and it was
abandoned.
The charge from the gun, a l2-gauge
repeating shotgun, entered the right
leg Of Mr.. Bliss, on the outside and al
the top of the knee, shattering the
knee cap and splintering the bones of
the leg. The barrel of the gun must
have been within few inches of Mr..
Bliss when discharged because the
wound was not larger than half dol
lar, but its severity may be judged
from the fact that clothing was carried
entirely through the limb. The gun
was loaded with No. 6 shot. The in
jured man never recovered from the
shock and exposure, and gradually sank
into the sleep which knows no awaking.
DR.. Moth states that the companions
of Mr.. Bliss did everything that was
possible for them TO do before he ar.
rived at the hotel. The artery shot ir
two lies in groove in the bone and nc
amount of bandaging would have stop
ped the flow of blood.
Mr.. Bliss, during periods of concious-
ness, stated TO DIR. Moth that the shoot
ing was purely accidental. but expressed
the belief that the gun was cooked
when MeKinnon started through the
fence.
Mr.. Mckinnon. who was carrying tho
death-dealing gun, came TO Idaho from
Nebraska in September, and was solic'
Z i,ing life insurance in Haley until two
weeks ago. On Tuesday before the
shooting, he came down from HALEY al
the request Of Mr.. Bliss, TO help the
latter build a house on his dry farm
homestead at Bannock. Mrs. Bis
was to have come this week to max,
