Sewer Engineer Present
Lewis G.. Kelsey, the sewer engi-
neer was present, and on being in
vited to speak, said that he was
ready to make the preliminary sur
vey, and that it would require about
two weeks to do that and prepare
his report.
Before adjournment 1t was sug-
gested that it might be well to have
some notices printed and postedsto in
form people on the street of the anti
splitting ordinance. but somebody re-
piled that the official paper would
probably feature that matter enough
to call eyerybodys attention to 1t,
and no placards would be needed.
The council adjourned at a quarter
after ten.
Sewer Engineer Interviewed
We asked Engineer Kelsey for a
little Of his time to tell us about
sewer business, and the following is
In substance what he gave us.
The first thing to be done on a
sewer system is to make the prelimi-

made, and the blue prints of suit
able system drawn. This determines
where the lines shall begin, what
course it takes, and where it empties.
When the plans and specification
are completed and approved, 1t is in
order to advertise for bids, and 1t is
possible to make contract and get
to work within a few weeks. | should
say we might expect to get construc-
tion started on your system about the
first of the year. There are some ad-
vantages in doing this work, in the
winter time, for in an agricultural
community there are many people
who are glad to get employment dur
ing the cold weather, and this gives
an opportunity to get plenty Of help
and also leave the money in the com
munity that is putting up the money.
The frost does not retard the work
much; of course, there are bad days
when work Is suspended, but IL you
begin such work In the spring every
body will be busy, and 1t will be hard
to get help. You would have to de-
pend upon the transient class who
have no interest in the. community
and who take or send most Of their
earnings away.
THE main for this system will
probably be eighteen inches In diam
eter, and the laterals and feeders will
be smaller. ranging down to about
eight inches. The pipes used will be
clay or earthen tiles, known as vltri-
fed pipes. and the system will be
made large enough, or have capacity
for the needs Of the city for the next
twenty years or SO. In Salt Lake City
where / live, our main is 64 inches
and is made of cement with a brick
arch forming the top or cover"
THE individuals make their own
lines leading from their. houses to
the city system. These pipes are usu-
ally six inch. A four inch pipe is
apt to break with the settling of the
ground, and that forms a leak, there
is a rough place In the pipe, that
gathers wash and soon the pipe
chokes up and ceases to do its work.

DEATH OF GEO. oLMsrEAD

Word has been received here of the
death at Hot Lake, Oregon, of George
Olmstead, formerly superintendent OF
the Idaho division of the Oregon
Short Line and at the time of his de-
mise superintendent of the Montana
division. His death occurred at 1.35
yesterday afternoon. Bright's dis
ease was the cause.
Mr.. Olmstead had been In poor
health for a year or more and for
the past three months had been un-
able to attend to his duties. 1t was
on account of his physical condition
that he was relieved as superintend-
ent of the Idaho division and trans
ferred to the Montana division, where
the work was lighter.
No arrangements have been made
for the funeral, which will probably
be held at Pocatello. Mayor d. w.
Church of that city wired that he
would leave there last night for Hot
Lake in the private car of the de-
ceased, acting on behalf OF the Ma
sons, of which order Mr.. Olmstead
was a prominent member. The body
will be taken from Hot Lake tonight,
accompanied by an escort and Mrs.
Olmstead, who was at her husband s
bedside when the end came.
Came West With OK Team
Mr.. Olmstead was &C years of age.
He came west behind an OK team in
1858, and although he was only a
lad he remembered many details Of
the trip, He often compared the
journey to some he subsequently took
over new western railroad lines. de-
c.aring he preferred the OK route. He
entered the railroad service in his
eA.-1syy manhood in California, starting
at the BOTTOM, of the construction and
operating departments and mastering
the details. He was VI Peru for a
time, where he worked at Ne NE throttle.
Mr.. Olmstead came tO the snort
Line six years ago and was MADE
trainmaster of the Montana division,
later being promoted to the superin-
tendency. Three years ago he was

A REAL ESTATE FEAST

Some real estate men had spread
of good things at the Office of Craig &
Feagins on Tuesday evening. A large
table was set and nine mallard duckes
and other delicious things prepared
by the matchless "Fenchy," of the
Idaho Cafe, made up the menu for the
cheerful boosters. While they ate
duck, they also cracked jokes and
planned how they would bring Idaho
and Blackfoot to the attention Of
people attending the National Land
Show at Chicago.
\ Those present were Messrs. w. G.

''The cost of putting in the iEdivid-
ual lines is likely to be about $40
to $50 where the line has to be laid
from about the middle Of the lots.
OF course lines can be laid cheaply
and not give satisfaction, or they can
be well done and make a good sani-
tary job. Bad plumbing Is the cause
of a great deal of sickness. Old cess
pools are the cause of much sick
ness. A cess pool does not always
disturb the owner, but may bring
grief to neighbors living some dis
tance away. For instance, IL cess
pool on hillside soaks into layer
OF gravel or other formation that
crops out among neighbors farther
down the slope, 1t may contaminate
the place and keep sickness among
them. And the trouble does not end
when the sewer system is laid. 1t
may continue to damage them for a
long term of years after they cease
to use the cess pool.
"Old water closets often keep sick
ness in community long after a
sewer system has been put into use.
I'VE often come In contact with
poor plumbing that permits fumes
from the sewer to follow the pipes
right into the house. This may come
of poor plumbing, fixtures that car
ried properly for time, may become
leaky, and the syphons and traps may
not exclude the fumes on account Of
the leaking.
Your sewer system here should
not be hard to put in; there seems to
be no rock nor other hard matter
to deal with. ] have been looking
about the town quite little, and it
seems to me the outlook for the
growth Of the place is very bright"

THE CITY BUSINESS

After reading the minutes Coun-
Gilman Curtis stated that there was
matter needing the attention of the
council which should not be made
public at this time, and moved that
the council go into executive session
for about fifteen minutes, and the mo-
tion prevailed, whereupon all who
were notsmembers of the council re-
tired.
After finishing that matter. the
board retired tOthe Office Of the Idaho
Irrigated Lands company because
there was no fire in the club rooms
The matter of buying piece Of
ground Of H. G. Dippel to enable
them to open street in the Dippel
addition was reported by Council
man Simmons who stated that Mr..
Dippel's price for the ground was
$4,000, but that he had later con-
sented to price Of $4,000. The
council decided to reject the offer and
begin condemnation proceedings.
Some bills for cement walks which
were to be paid jointly by the city
and county were gone over and dis
posed of.
Sympathy to Councilman Bowen
Chairman Curtis of special COM
mittee, read resolution extending
sympathy to Councilman M. D. Bow
en-, in the loss of his wife, and by
rising vote they adopted the resolu-
tion and ordered them spread upon
the minutes, and copy sent to Mr..
Bowen.
City to Loan Money
The council discussed the feasibil-
ity of loaning the money obtained
from the sale of bonds to the local
banks or one of them, interest to be
computed upon the daily balances,
during the construction of the city
building and sewer system.
Mayor West stated that as there
are three banks doing business in the
city, and all more ,Dr less popular
with the people of whom the coun
Gil is a creature, it would seem the
fair and reasonable course to divide
the money equally between the three
banks, to require adequate security
and arrange for them all to pay the
same rate of interest for the use of
It, This was generally approved and
the details of the plan were talked
over and agreed upon.
The collection of the cost of lay
ing cement walks done by the city
for invidiual owners who neglected
to lay their own was discussed, and
Councilman Curtis outlined course
by which it could be handled so as to
save considerable expense of advertis-
ing and yet make the city secure and
the matter was passed.
No More Splitting on the Side walks
An ordinance was read, prohibiting
splitting on walks, and in all halls
and public places. Councilman Younie
wanted to know If this would apply
to halls and stairways like those in
the Younie block. He said some men
would spit all kinds of vile tobacco

BINGHAM COUNTY TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION

On Friday, November 9Th, the pub
lie school teachers of this county me

cuss school problems and lay plan.
for more efficient work in the count,
schools. 4
The district officers over the count,
had dismissed the schools for the day
to permit their teachers to be pres,
ent at this association and seemingly
all availed themselves OF the oppOr-
tunity to meet their co-workers and
acquaint themselves with the county
work, for there were present more
than an hundred teachers from diff
ferent parts Of the county. This, we
are informed is by far the largest
number ever assembled In Bingham
county association.
The visiting teachers were met at
the trains by the Blackfoot high
school girls and directed to the city
school buildings where they were
shown to the several grades in which
they indicated an interest. At noon
all were assembled in the I.rO. O. f.
hall where the ladies of Blackfoot
served an appetizing luncheon to all
visiting and local teachers. Prompt
ly at 1880 the regular program was
taken up. The meeting lasted for
more than three hours and was at
tended by all teachers, while many OF
the town people showed their interest
In school affairs by listening to the
papers and their discussions.
The days program over, the teach
ers were once more assembled at the
lodge hall and served with dinner,
the appreciation of which called forth
hearty resolutions of thanks from the
feasting teachers. The ladies of
Blackfoot certainly made a record for
themselves in hospitality and grac-
iousness. The pedagogues are still
jubilant over their reception and en-
thusiastic In their parise of the en-
tertainers.
In the evening all were invited to
the Methodist church to hear the
splendid lecture, Abraham Lincoln"
which the Reverend Edward has
with great study and enthusiasm
worked out, to instil patriotism and
teach the admiration justly due our
greatest president 1t is needless to
say that all appreciated this inspir-

n q this nsc.ing was In many ways
superior. What more important
still there was to bsNSXsS mar markea as
difference in the members Oh 90
sociation. The teachers are on an
average three years older, hence more
mature in judgment and ability. In
most OF our eastern and central states
not more than one-fourth of the coun-
ty teachers in an agricultural COM
are high school graduates or
better. At this assembly of Bingham
county teachers there were very few
who had not completed a high school
course and more than one-half were
graduates Of higher institutions OF
learning. The county is certainly to
30 congratulated upon the high stand
ard of its teaching force IL those as
sembled here last Saturday were fair
With this excellent corps of wide
awake teachers prosperous and pro-
gressive people behind them there is
no reason why the boys and girls of
this county should not receive in

of any like area in the country.

There's much satisfaction in pro-
ducing a good article, and an equal
amount in placing it in the hands of
the man who needs and wants it.
The Washington Nursery Co., of
Toppenish WASH, have grown an
enormous lot of trees this year. Last
March they planted 10000 CRAFTS
alone, besides all of the buds of the
previous summer which stood already
in the nursery row.
They have refused order after order
from other nurserymen and dealers
for trees, because they insist on sup
plying their own retail demand. They
have over $50 statesmen In the field
selling direct to the planter, and their
trade this year is eclipsing all pre-
vious records. 1t has more than
doubled in three years. The quality
of their stock and their system of
handling the trade have brought re-
suits.
Trees grown in a haphazard way
with no system In cultivating, digging,
packing, and Shipping, are worth less
to you than those handled right. The
