Be A New Time Card

The Northern Pacific announced a
general change in the time of all their
transcontinental trains to take ef-
feet Oct. 81.
An entirely new train will be put
on to be known as the Eastern Ex-
press and Western Express, the for
mer to leave Seattle and Tacoma at
900 am. and the latter to leave ST.
Paul at 1915 p. III.
The new service gives the Northern
Pacific five transcontinenta trains
and the time of nearly all the trains
is reduced They have a ~ hour
schedule between Portland and Chi
cago and 50 hours between Portland
and St.Paul. The time between Spo-
kane ana St.Paul is As hours and be-
tween Spokane and Chicago 50 hours.
There is no change announced for
the PalOuse or Clearwater branch at
present. 1t is possible that there
may be change in the time of the
| Grangeville train with completion of
the Joint operation agreement with
the Oregon, Washington and Idaho
railway.

Halloween Social

An unqualified success was the
H allowe'en Social and the credit is
due to Mrs. D.T.A. Macintosh and
her helpers. The Presbyterian
parlors were filled with young folks
and those who felt young. who found
their entrance by ghostly directions
through entry or on ladders through
windows. Once within, the eye was
greeted with pumpkins and apples.
cornstalks and black cats, while the
softened light of candles gave a
weird uncanniness.
From start to finish the time was
filled with a variety OF pastlmes,
games and sports. Madame Ghost
piled her trade with revolving wheel
of fortune aud revelations from the
spirit world-pinning the heart to the
heartless pumpkin; tossing apples
through the suspended horseshoe;
biting the suspended apple-and the
size of the expanded mouths was a
revelation to the onlookers; bobbng
apples in the water; lighting candles
in walnut shells; gum-chewing and,
like Michael Angelo, making from the
plastic material miniature animals;
little tots blind.folded and striking
wildly and frantically at suspended
bags and when the imprisoned sweet
meats were liberated. 'scrambling over
the floor for the goodies; these we're
a few of the diversions that filled the
running over fullness of jolly good
time.
Coffee and sandwiches, pumpkin
pies. popcorn and candy gave a
satisfied feeling within and when the
hour for Home Bird" was called the
evening seemed only too short.

Carey Act Opening

The first three miles of the ditch of
the Kings Hill Extension Irrigation Co.
was completed this week and the large
contracting forces of the Slick Con-
struction Co., have been moved to the
next station down the river. Since the
contract for tie construction was
warded, the work has been crowded as
rapidly as possible and water will be
running through the bitches at least a
month earlier than was expected at
first.
Several sub contractors have arrived
to take up work on the main canal and
within two weeks, construction will be
going on at nearly every point Of the
ditch. The Minneapolis Bridge Co.
has been given the contract for the
bridge across Snake River which will
carry the large syphon and is, under
contract to have the structure COM
plete in the early spring.
The forces of the Kings Hill Co.
have been confined for the last week
to the preparations for the opening on
November 10th. The townsite is now
laid out, and the acreage tracts ne r
town divided into blocks. Work has
been started grading the Riverview
Boulevard. which promises to be de.
lightful scenic drive. The streets
have been laid out on every forty acre
line ard the entire tract looks like the
plan of great city. The company is
making preparations to plant trees the
entire length of the boulevard and
long the principal streets.
The selling plan devised on the acre.
age tracts is attracting wide spread at.
tention. Every tract is offered at ex-
actly the same price 81 $50, of which
payment of S2iO. will be required at
the time of fling. The tracts will be
put up at Public Drawing and the
Company refuse to allow single tract
to be sold until after the drawing,
thus giving every one who attends the
opening an equal chance to secure one
of the choicest tracts.
The interest in this Carey Act draw.
ing is said to be greater than any
opening yet held in Idaho. The small
acreage of public lands and the high
character of the soil accounts for this
great interest. Settlers who filed on
the tract before Cary Act Segrega-
ton was applied for and who have
preference rights for some of the land
under the project have sold their
rights for liberal bonuses in number
of instances, and the lands offered for
public drawing are of the same charac.
ter as the lands sold.
The opening of Carey Act lands,
Town lots and acreage tracts will be
held at Medbury, November 10th.
The registration books will be open.
ed November nth. Only those who
register previous to the drawing will
be allowed to participate in the draw

PAINTERS STRIKE TO
ENFORCE DEMANDS
Few Are Out Here, However, as Most
of Contractors Have Signed Up
for New Scale.

A number of the journeymen paint
erS and decorators of the three cities
went on strike this morning to en-
force a demand made some time ago
in which they asked that their sca:e
of wages have for its minimum 81
cents an hour instead of So cents as
has been the scale for some time past.
In this city most of the contractors
have agreed to the advance and signed
agreements with the men to that eff
feet so that there are few painters
who are not working. In Moline. how
ever. about half the men are out, but
there are prospects that the matter
will be settled favorably to them in i
day or two About 500 painters in
the tri-cities ARE affected by the change
in minimum wage scale.

Action Is Deferred.
1.-The city has been saved proba-
bly, $4,000 or $4,000 by the en-
ployment of these engineers" said
Alderman Thompson, and he added,
Il do not see that the city could
have done BETTER In his opinion
the city would do well to follow the
same methods. The mayor, too, is
of this opinion. but he urged that
the matter be laid over for a time
while the aldermen consider the dit
ferent phases of the situation. Ac-
cordingly, after some discussion the
matter was referred to the water
works and finance committees and
the city engineer and superintend-
ent of the waterworks. The commit
tees will report recommending some
plan of action at the next meeting,
Monday evening.

claim. it was voted to allow the bill
The claim was allowed on motion of
