that an appropriation of $4,000 is
to be made for carrying on the work
of forest conservation in the state OF

ty-ive thousand dollars is the present
yearly contribution. The state OF

with private corporations and private
individuals in the conservation Of
standing timber to the extent OF the
pro rata share of the state timber.
For Montana, which has no forest
preservation laws. 1t was recommend
ed that the legislature enact laws on
the lines of the Idaho statutes. and
for Oregon 1t was urged that a direct
appropriation be made. as there is no

Between 80 and S5 citizens and
taxpayers assembled last evening al

Gliding what disposition was to he
made of the petition which reouests
the city council to install water svs.
tenn In the city, and a committee an
pointed to present it to the council
for consideration at the next meeting
the citizens were slow in assembling
and as large crowd was not in at
tendance as was expected. When the
meeting was called to order by De
Saussure there were present by actual
count 25 people, but a number came
In afterwards. and when the meeting
was in full swing there were present
between 80 and 35 persons.
AS soon as the meeting was called
to order the work of effecting tenn
porary organization was commenced
and G. A. DeSaussure was elected
chairman, and Frank Carver secre-
tary. The chairman then stated the
purpose Of the meeting, and then fol-
lowed a general discussion of the
question by those present.
Want City to Buy Water Plant.
The petition is directed to the
council, and is said to be signed by
between 500 and 500 people and asks
that body to ascertain the cost of the
installation of water plant, and to
take immediate steps for the issuance
of bonds for the purpose. The chair
man explained that the petition had
been circulated and signed during the
summer but had never been present.
ed to the council, and the purpose of
the meeting was to decide as to whe-
ther it should be presented to that
body, and If SO in what manner. He
then called for an expression of an
opinion on the question by those
present but there came no response
and in order to open he called upon
Mr.. Woods. Mr.. Woods stated
there ought to be something done to
relieve the people of the present bur-
den inflicted upon them by the COM
pany furnishing the water, and to re-
lieve the people of the poor water
furnished, and then sat down, and
the chairman called upon A. R. Black.
Mr.. Black stated that he would rath-
er be heard from later in the meet
ing after he had secured the drift of
things, and s. A. Varnam was called
on for an expression of his views.
Mr.. Varnam stated that he regret
ed that the attendance was so small
and felt that but little could be done
to influence the council by reason of
that fact. He stated that all users
of water were agreed upon the fact
that the quality of 1t was poor and
that they we're overcharged. AS an
illustration of this he cited St. Paul
where the quality of water was much
better, and where the price paid for
1t was only about one fourth as high
as here He stated that in his opin-
ion a committee should be appointed
to present the petitions to the council
and as many citizens attend as pos
sible at the time.
M. E. Russell was the next speaker.
He expressed himself in favor of the
city owning it's own plant, stated
that the water furnished by the pres
Coeur d'Alene evening press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1907-1929, 1909-01-09

ent company was bad, and the price
charged too high. He also condemned
the practice used by the company Of
having users of the water furnish
their own tap. and stated that Il was
unreasonable and unjust.
Mr.. DeSaussure then took the floor
ana expressed himself in favor OF the
city owning its own water system and
believed that the council should take
action to this end. Where to secure
the water and what system to install
was for the council he stated to take
action upon after the petition was
submitted to them. He stated that
there were two systems, gravity and
power, and as to which was best
would be matter for the council to
decide.
A. r. Black then addressed the
meeting. He briefly told OF a town
where he had resided where the citi-
zens had experienced the same trou-
Die that the citizens of this city were
now experiencing and related the
night that took place between them
and the company and advised them
In taking up this present matter to
look ahead, and be sure OF every step
taken as they would be confronted
with a fight on the matter. He gave
1t as his opinion that a committee
should no only be appointed to pre-
sent the petitions to the council, but
also furnish data to them where wat
er could be secured, and the compar-
alive cost Of system and its install
lation so that the council would have
some plan to work upon.
Press's Large Circulation Admitted.
c. A. DeSaussure again arose to ad-
dress the meeting, and in doing so
took occasion to express his regrets
that there were so few in attendance.
Notices of the meeting, he stated, had
been given to both of the papers. The
Journal, he stated had printed the
notice as given, but the notice sent
to the Press the first day was too late
for that days issue and the notice
published the next day by the Press
was incorrect and misleading. This
notice was, through error, made to
read that the meeting was to be held
Thursday evening instead OF Friday
evening. The Press corrected the
error in Fridays issue, but this was
the night Of the meeting, and the no.
tice therefore came late to its many
readers, fact regretable by the pap
err, but which was unavoidable by
reason of the conditions. BY reason
of this fact, as Mr.. De Sassure admit
ted last night, but few of the people
were advised of the meeting, as the
notice was published only in the
Journal, a paper with comparatively
no circulation. Mr. DeSaussure
thought it inadvisable to have the
committee appointed. as Mr.. Black
had suggested, to ascertain the cost Of
a system, and data as to where water
was to be secured, as 1t meant too
much time and money expended, and
that 1t was properly a question for
the council.

Mr.. A. Z. Bent, who never wear
les in well doing for Lamar and
the Arkansas Valley. is at the
head of a construction company
which has Just completed a canal
line survey on the north side OF
the river beginning at Las Animas
and terminating at Wild Horse
Creek about 40 miles. covering
nearly 100000 acres now unirrigat-
ed.
He reports that no rock Is en-

siye rights of way, the construc--
lion is more simple than any other
line of canal in the valley of It's
class.
The plan is to complete the Nam
moth Reservoir site on the Purga-
toire owned by his company and
one of the most remarkable known
and from the water SO impounded
supplement the Arkansas River
supply. To that end a short ditch
rom the Purgatoire will carry its
flood waters to the main intake
located near Las Animas.
1t is intended to organize the
territory irrigable into an irriga-
ton district and build the system
with the proceeds of district bonds.
Preliminary estimates indicate that
