COUNCIL PASSES THE
GAMBLING ORDINANCE
With Amendments After Fight over Two
Sections-Coffmen Feminist Society Gamb-
Hng-Fees for Police Officers

The passage Of the anti-gambling or
dinance after it was amended over a
lucky fight made by Burton and the
passage Of an ordinance giving the
chief of police, police Judge, and city
attorney a fee Of 81 each in all cases
where convictions are secured, were
the features Of a spirited council meet
ing yesterday afternoon.
Sections three and four OF the gam
bling ordinance were the features that
occasioned the dabate. These sections
provided penalty for permitting any
gambling device to be set up Or ope-
rated in building and the latter sec
ton provided a penalty Tor the owners
Of buildings in which gambling was
permitted. Burton was alone in his
fight for the former clause, all Of the
other members voting against it and
on the latter higgins voted with him.
Coffman thought it was nothing but
right to include the society folks who
play for prizes-he didn't want to
make any distinctions. After these
two sections had been stricken out, all
members voted for the ordinance. Be-
sides making the penalties higher, the
new ordinance forbids any kind of
card playing in a public place.
The ordinance allowing fees for
officers was passed without dissent
ing voice It was understood that
additional fees will be added to the
fines commonly assessed, so that it
will cost the city nothing.
The returns Of the election Tues.
day were canvassed, the results be-
ing substantially as published hereto.

tant Political Gatherings

Washington April 11.-While the
republicans held the limelight in
national politics this week by reason
OF the state conventions. in New York
and Massachusetts,, the democrats viii
have their share of publicity during
the next seven days. The birthday Of
Thomas Jefferson, which falls on Mon
day, will likely be celebrated more
generally than In recent years, and
many important utterances may be
expected BY far the most important
of these celebrations win be the ban
quet Of the national democratic club
in New York. A quarrel over the
question as to whether William Jen-
nings Bryan should be invited to
speak, at the dinner, threatened for
a time TO disrupt the club, but it is
now likely that the Nebraskan, If pres
ent, will add to the oratory Of the
OCCASION, The other speakers will be
President Woodrow Wilson, OF Prince

ton university Senator owen, Of
North Carolina.

The plentiful supply of moisture this
fall has resulted in a vigorous growth
of grass. This valley has for years
been the winter pasture for hundreds
of horses and cattle but within a year

former neighbor, l.. l.. Waller, the

crowded section of Illinois and as he
has family Of boys for whom land
must be obtained, he has decided to
remove to the west. After spending
some time in looking over Colorado,
the Twin Falls country and other
parts of Idaho, he dropped into Med
bury valley. He says this basin more
nearly resembles the valley at Grand
Junction, Colo, than any section of
Idaho he has seen. In the matter
of protected location it is similar, but
in soil and climate Medbury is SUI
perior. He found it much warmer
here at the elevation ranging from
2400 to $500, as against the $500 foot
altitude of the Grand valley. Speak
ing of the great fruit industry in the
latter place, he said the same thing
was possible here with the application
of water, and that our opportunities
were greater than those in any place
he had seen on his trip. Mr.. Lee
right will return here before spring
and secure a tract of land.

w. j. Turner has shipped his
household goods from Mountain Home
and will make this his permanent
home. Mrs. Turner came down this
week to remain. The Turner's have
one of the most slightly places on the
river, their ranch having a river
frontage of over two miles.
1t is reported that the King Hill
Irrigation & Power Company will soon
start their surveying crew running a
grade line for the extension of their
ditch to Medbury basin. When the
company has determined what land
they can cover with their canal it is
understood that they will make a
proposition to the holders of land
here.
R. w. Simpkins is continuing the
development work on his springs a
mile northwest of the station by run
ming an open cut to take away the
surplus water. A cross cut will be
made in the creek to bedrock and a
cement dam put in to prevent the
seepage from escaping. 1t is thought
these and other springs along the
rimrock furnish the inexhaustible
water supply for the shallow wells
along Bennett creek bottom.

News and Notes of Progress
By a Regular Correspondent

Mrs. C. N. Jones arrived Sabbath
from Mountain Home.
A car load of cedar posts came in
last week for Messrs. Armstrong and
Fluharty.
Sabbath school was started at the
Averil school house last Sabbath.
Mrs. Hugh Sproat went to Boise
Tuesday.
o. T. Barber and family are spend
ing month in Boise.
Work stopped Monday night on the
Sunnyside ditch owing to the local
water right owners being unable to
raise sufficient money to complete the
work. Enough money has been
subscribed but not yet paid and work
will only be resumed when all have
paid their subscriptions. There has
been some little Misunderstanding
about this work some thinking it
was being done by the Great Western
Beet Sugar Company, whereas the
company has had nothing to do with
it.
Earl Rounds came up from Noun
tain Home Monday to- pay off the
men at his camp.
The new proposition of the Great
Western Beet Sugar Company to
water right holders is the chief topic
of discussion at this time. AS yet
there seems to be no definite line Of
action proposed other than that sug-
gested by the company though person
al opinions are freely expressed OF
every side.
