Finance Committee Does Not Approve
Capt. Weslon's Resolution.
DIVISION OF cREMATGRY FUND
Belief Prevails That Proposition
Would Result Only in Useless Dis
cussion-New School Building Idea
Recommended.

The finance committee of the city
council met at the city hall last
night, with Chairman Read and Com
mitteemen Kellum, Wallace and Davis
in attendance and disposed of quite
good deal OF business, the principal
item of which was the decision to re-
port unfavorably upon the compromise
resolution prepared by Captain Wes-
ton relative to the much discussed
"crematory' fund, in which $500 was
portioned out to the First ward and
the remainder equally divided between
the other three wards.
II seemed to be the sentiment of the
committee that the manner in which
Captain Weston had planned to COM
promise the matter would result in
a further discussion only, and they
therefore returned it to the council
for their action, giving it an unfa-
vorable report
Another resolution was returned to
the council with an unfavorable rec
concentration was the one which was
referred to the committee by the COM
mon council in which provision wac
made for the equal division of the
S2o.0o0 which the city received from
the street railway company as a bonus
for allowing the company to aban-
don or tear up the tracks of the
Hampton Roads Traction Company.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Ford in
the common council at their last
meeting and which was referred to
the committee from that body appro-
priating $4,000 for the construction
of new school building which it is
proposed to build on Jefferson ave-
nue. in the Second ward, was sent
back to the council with a favorable
report as to the need for a new build
ing. no amount was fixed by the COM
mittee. although it is the sentiment
of the body that some kind of q
building should be constructed in the
near future

Electricity from the Earth.

Great local differences in the electri-
fication of the earth are known 10 ex-

that with better knowledge 1t may be
possible to make mining for electricity
as profitable as digging for coal or
metals. In experiments In two COM
paratively shallow borings, he has oo-
tanned weak currents between small

water of the pit and a similar rod

that contractors, mining companies and
others take up the problem, and per-
form such experiments as testing the
current between a 60-foot copper cylin-
der at the bottom of boring of $4,000
feet or more and similar cylinder bur-
led in moist ground at the surface,

WATER MOTOR
JUST INVENTED

Messrs. Frank NJ. Conroy and E. d.
Emmerson, who live about .l2 miles
from Caldwell near the Nampa ferry
were in town Thursday and Friday,
exhibiting working model of a new
water motor they have invented. The
Caldwell persons who have seen the
new motor think 1t entirely practical.
If SO, it means great deal. The wa
ter motor floats on the water, being
held In place by a cable connected
withanything on shore. The keel of
the raft keeps it In the current From
each of two full" wheels extend six
paddles, three of which are in the
water all the time. The force of the
current turns the bull" wheels, gen
Grating the power. The paddles have
24-foot sweep from the time they
enter until they leave the water.
The water motor is on exhibition in
Caldwell, where anytime may see it who
Is interested. Practical mechanics
think the new motor success.
