The Most Common Cause of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease. for
the reason that it is the most com
mon of all ills, and it is certainly
gratifying to sufferers to know that
Chamberlain's Liniment will afford re-
lief, and make rest and sleep possible.
In many cases the relief from pain,
which is at first temporary, has be-
come permanent, while in old people
subject to chronic rheumatism, often
brought on by dampness or changes in
the weather. a permanent cure cannot
be expected; the relief from pain
which this liniment affords is alone
worth many times its cost. 25 and
so cent sizes for sale by Hays &

TEN MORE ARC LIGHTS EMMETT FRUIT LANDS
Price Reduced from $12O to
$40 Per Year.

The old city council met Monday
night and its last official act was
the acceptance of the proposition
of the Idsho-O Oregon Light ard
Power company to reduce the cost
Of arc lights to the city from 1920
per year for each light to $40.
provided the number of arcs was
increasd from 10 to 20.
This proposition came as an
agreeable surprise to the city off,
cials. Since the installation Of the
electric light plant six years ago
the city has paid $40 per month for
each light. Ten arc lights are
now being used at cost of 1920
per year, and six incandescents at
800 per year. making a total an
nual expenditure for lights of ST.
3C0. Under the proposition of the
electric light company the cost will
be sl400 for 20 arcs. or 800 per
year more for double the service.
The addition of 10 more arc
lights judiciously placed through
out the town will make this the
best lighted city in the state, if not
in the northwest. Coming, as III
did, voluntarily from the company.
the reduction in cost displays a
generosity not often shown by cor
porations and will certainly be
highly appreciated by Emmett peo-
nile

In the rear of the council chamber
room has been provided where
members of the company may make

TO furnish this room with one or
two beds and it is probable several
of the fire laddies will sleep there
to be prepared to answer alarms at

BONDS were DEFEATED
Defeat of School Bonds Puts
District in Bad Way

The proposition to vote bonds il
the sum Of $33, 600 for the purpose
of paying off the Indebtedness and
building new schoolhouses was de-
feated Saturday by vote of 189 fol
to l07 against. Lack of interest
on the part of those favoring the
bonds was responsible for their de-
feat.
The turning down of the bonds
puts the district in bad hole and
seriously jeopardizes the schools of
this city. AS has been frequently
stated. the rapid growth of the
population in the district has SIM
ply swamped the capacity of the
buildings and unless immediate re-
lief is obtained the board will have
but three alternatives: Close the
schools entirely, have half day
sessions half the school year, or
abolish all grades above the Eighth.
The board will meet next week
to decide upon future action, and
it is probable another election will
be called. If this is done, every
believer in good schools should
get busy and assist in rolling up a
big majority for the bonds. The
following article by C. P. Kar con-
tains strong arguments in support
of the proposition. Read it care
fully:

have gone there are experts in
their line. They left the famous
Palisades valley where fruit land
went flom s10O to $500 per acre
and it was largely through their
efforts that such high prices were
reached. Fruit raising with them
is no experiment. 1t is hard
business proposition. They know
the kind of soil, climate and mois-
ture wanted and start their orchards
with an end in view. There is no
question in my mind but that fruit
lands on the Emmett bench will
go much higher in price than they
are row and $1,000 per acre will
not be high estimate.
''Our firm has taken a large tract
of land which we are planting out
to apples and peaches. l think
that l can safely say there are 1000
acres of fruit now being set out in
the Emmett country. The bench
presents scene of activity and
will soon be one of the most valu-
able sections in the state. There
are in all about 25. 600 acres OF rich
lands Ia the Emmett bench country

Work of Old Council.

So far as the writer knows EN-.
NETT has always been blessed with
competent and economical admin
istrations. The administration OF
| the past two years. however. has
been exceptionally SO. To the
large experience of Mayor Bilder-
back in administering the affairs
of both Boise and Emmett during
the past 25 years, has been added
the GOOD business sense and wise
judgment of his colleagues.
Many serious problems have
been met and solved during the
past two years, but the two accom-
plishments that will stand out as
monuments to the councils skill
and judgment are the city W
works system and the new
hall, and the casting off the sv
ling clothes of the village fort
of a city. Aside from the bon
debt of $4,000 for the waterw
plant, the city is out of debt.
the future looks bright. The
id settling up of the unexcelled
fruit lands tributary to this city
assures a substantial and raid
growth. The new council reef res
the keys of the city from faithful
and to them and the cooper
alton of their constituents will
depend the growth and development
of this community. May they build
as wisely and as we'll as their pred
ecessors have DONE.

Rapid Progress Being Made
in This Favored Valley.

c. II. Martin was in Boise the
first of the week and the Capital
News caught his enthusiasm over
the Emmett country and printed
the following:
A retired newspaper man but
now one of the enthusiastic boost
ers of southern Idaho and partic-
ularly the rich fruit section sur
rounding Emmett, c. H. Martin,
of the real estate firm of Wilton
Cooke Martin, is III Boise today
attending to business matters and
incidently relating some of the in
side facts with reference to the
wonderful prices which Emmett
fruit lands are bringing and the
rapid growth which that section of
Idaho is experiencing. Being
one of the prominent members of
the Colorado colony, composed OF
expert horticulturists who have
taken over the development of the
Emmett bench, Mr.. Martin knows
whereof he speaks aud tells some
almost fabulous tales.
For a number of years Mr.. Mar

name. He sold ont his interest

The School Bond Election

One hundred and seventy eight
votes cast in favor of bonding The
school district to provide needed
improvements in our educational
facilitiesl Does that represent the
sum total of the people in the dis
trict who are interested in the
better education of their own and
their neighbor's children. refuse
to believe it.
Those of you who were here
when the proposition to bond the
district in order to erect the present
brick building will remember that
, we had the same experience then.
1t was necessary for those who
want their children to have fair ad-
vantages in educational matters to
be shown that if they were to
realize their desire for their child
rem they must exert themselves
enough to make it known at the
polls, and at the second submis-
sion of the proposition it carried
easily. Remember these two
points:
First, that the opposition will
always be out in force to register
its views.
Second, that these elections cost
the district good money whether
the questions submitted carry or
not, SO that if you fail to come
out and record your vote and
failure results you are individual
ly responsible for some of the
expenses which we must all help
to pay.
We will have another chance to
express ourselves with regard to
this question just as soou as it can
be legally done, and l appeal to
you parents who have children
growing up in whose education you
are, or ought to be, interested, and
to those of our citizens who may
not have any children to educate,
but who are financially interested in |
the progress of our community, |
that you come out and vote for the
issue of the bonds, and if you do
nothing else on that day you will
have done the best days work for
the coming generation that you
have done or will have a chance to
do this year.
Let us not mathematics those
who helped to defeat this PROPOSE
tion last week. Most of them are
of the class that we may call, in
sense at least, the pioneers of this
community. Whatever of success
they have attained in life was
achieved under conditions in which
physical strength and endurance,
with iron nerve and unfaii-
ing courage counted for more than
book learning. 1t is not easy for
them to realize that conditions
have changed and that the child
rem who are now growing up will
be obliged to make the fight for
success amid conditions in which
those who are the most careful
about getting ready will have the ,
best chance to succeed in life.
Some of th,m is said to be in
favor of the bonds if the High ,
School provision is eliminated.
Surely there are not a dozen peo- /,
Pile of sound mind in the district
who sympathise with that view. or
