Cosby, as heretofore, before they are
acted upon. but Mr.. Burnab will still
have ample opportunity to display
whatever individuality he may have.
Mr. Burnap's predecessor was George
II. Brown, who died a few months ago
Mr.. Brown had held that office for
thlrty-eight years. and practically all
the parks now completed in the city
were done during his term Of office.
Another thing which may bring differ
ent results in the parks to come is the
trip which Col. Cosby is taking. Leaving
to Europe. primarily for the purpose of
attending the good roads congress at
Brussels. In addition to this. however.
he will visit many other cities in order
to see what ideas are being carried out
across the water in connection with land
scape gardening.
Besides the ordinary gardening there is
great amount of other work connected
with the parks. There are three thou
sand benches used in the parks. which
have to be repaired and painted at stated
periods. In the spring of the year all
the trees have to be pruned or clipped,
which is one of the biggest parts of the
work. One feature of the work which
seems at first glance TO be out of their
sphere is making the schedules for the
band concerts which are given at the
various parks throughout the summer.
concerts. and in addition to making the
schedules the arrangements for the con-
certs, such as putting up the stand. ar
ranging the lights. are all done under the
direction OF the office of public buildings

"HERE are 343 parks in the District.
This number is divided into three
classes, highly improved. partially
improved and unimproved. OF the highly
improved, such as Lafayette and Frank
lin Parks, Farragut Square and Thomas
and Dupont Circles, there are 40. OF the
partially improved of which class POto-
mac Park is the most important, there
are 127, while of those still unimproved
there are 1O6. All these parks cover an
area of over 500 acres, the highly i'm
proved constituting approximately la
acres of that amount, and require many
thousands of dollars annually for their
| care.
! To keep all these parks in the proper
condition is far from being slight task.
The work comes under Col. Spencer Cos
| by, who is in charge of the office of pub
lie buildings and grounds. Under Col.
Cosby is a force Of about 500 people, who
are continually occupied in doing the
work connected with the identifying of
| these reservations. Only small per cent
of that number constitutes the clerical
| force the ma jority being lauorers, gar
deners and park watchmen and other out
side workers. The money spent annually
| for the various purposes connected with
this Office amounts to something like
| $30OOOO.

| ing of WashingtOn's parks is the prop
agating gardens. Here there are about
| a million plants prOpagated annually.
carnations, roses. vio-
| let's. lilies of the valley, pansies and
all the other varieties OF flowers used
! in the parks. as well as the tropical
plants, are grown there. These, for
the most part, are used exclusively for
the park flower beds, but small per
cent is set out in the beds surround
ing the various departments while
others go to hospitals, public institu-
lions and government offices. Eleven
thousand plants are annually distrib-
uted among this last named class. the

This Office has taken the initial step
in a movement which is sure to prove
attractive to the children of the city. A
wading pool has recently been construct

This is the first pool opened in the city,

to be different About 400 arrests are
made annually, and the charges are
many, running all the way from the car

commoner offenses Of disorderly conduct
and drunkenness The proceeds from
these arrests amount to between S1.J09
and s.. 800 annually.

When it suits how easy it is to
credit the Almighty or to hold him
responsible, as the case may be, for
things in which he has taken no part.
Thus the mother of Johnson, the
negro prize fighter is sure that the
Lord answered the prayers of the ne
groes for his success and smiled ap-
provingly upon him. With equal
assurance Jeffries' father is certain
that the Lord purposely let his son
lose to teach him a needed lesson
Most people think that the Lord had
nothing to do with It, Speaking in
all reverence wouldn't it be just as
well to credit the Almighty with pos
sessing common sense instead OF
trying to make out that he has less

August 18th, the Qualified voters O
Mountain Home will decide at the pol
the question OF a Municipal System
of water works to be owned and OBJ
Grated by the City There are onh
two methods by which water works
are constructed, one is under a fran
chise granted to private concern
running generally for a term of q
years, under which franchise they
are allowed to construct a system Of
water works laying their mains IL
streets and alleys, and charging 6
gwen sum per thousand gallons OF
water sold to consumers. The OBJ

that their franchise is limited to a

ment out of their plant within that
time, and although the town might
develop rapidly and extend it's bound
aries, it Us very difficult to induce a
franchise company to extend its
mains or enlarge its system, unless the
council will extend the franchise.
This is rarely ever done in as much
&c the franchise company would by
unjust methods incur the displeasure
OF the people at large, having as they
would the one object of dollars at
stake. The proposition to be voted
on at this election is the voting of
bonds for constructing system en-
trely in keeping with the require,
ments of the underwriters affording
the very lowest rate of insurance,
serving the people with pure whole
some and adequate supply of water
at the lowest cost, thereby beautify-
ing the city with trees and lawns and
free water for sprinkling streets and
for flushing sewers. The interest on
these bonds will increase the taxes
slightly the first one or two years,
but unless Mountain Home is differ
ent from other cities the construction
of this Improvement will bring in
thousands of newcomers to help bear
this burden of taxation, ultimately
decreainsg the taxation instead of in
creasing them. If we can luild a
city here without a water works sys-
TEN, we will achieve something chat
no other town has ever done, because
water is as necessary as the air We
breathe and a franchise to control the
supply of air is not any more UNI
reasonable than franchise to place in
the hands of few INSCRIPTIONS men

always extend it's system as the town
extends its boundaries. Whenever
the supply becomes inadequate or i'm
pure it can be augmented and i'm

ed unless these interests are sub
served We are assured that a sys-
TEN as will be constructed with this
money will reduce our insurance
premiums 40 per cent. There is at

Many people have no conception OF
the methods resorted to by the saloon
element to bring about partial or
complete notification of the anu.h-
quor laws A very large proportion OF
the people think we have but to en-
act a law against the sale of liquor in
order to stop such traffic. Nothing
could be further from the truth. 1t
is true, of course, that in great
many counties the adoption of prohib
ition under the local option system
closes I'D the saloon business and puts
an end to the traffic in the intoxicatin
beverages. In other counties, however
where there is an aggressive OppOsi.
ton and where the people are so I'M
fortunate as to elect weak and cor
rupt men to responsible positions
charged with the duty of enforcing
the law, liquor is often sold openly
and prohibition is brought into dis
repute. This deplorable fact Is charge
able directly to the character of the
men occupying those positions in the
county which control in the matter OF
administration of the criminal stat
utes. An illustration of how this is
brought about was furnished recently
when the sheriff of an Idaho county
which is in the dry column made the
statement that he had been solicited
by a number of saloon men in his
county 70 permit them to run the
saloon, offering to pay him large
sum for the privilege. Their offer
was to give him 5000 month ii
they could be permitted to sell IL
ouor If the sheriff was called upon
10 raid the place he was to give
them five minutes notice that he
was coming Fla was all the sher-
if had to do. When the reader
stops to consider how insiduous, how
dangerous, how villainous such meth
eds are, he realizes why it is that
the liquor men are able to find so man
counties in which prohibition laws ar
ignored
We simply wish to add that II
Governor Brady be reelected In this
state, there will be very little cause
for complaint along this line. Furth-
er, if he be given the additional au |
thority that should be conferred upon
him, there will be no county in the |
STATE that has voted against the H.
quor traffic, where it will be permit |
ted to continue. Some sheriffs and
some prosecuting attorneys might be

breakers but they would not do so
unless in very rare instances, II
the governor had power upon deter
Inning that the law was being motor
iously violated, to remove those
men from office in disgrace. If we
had such law with Governor Brady |
at the helm, there would be no ground
whatever upon which it could be
claimed by the opponents of prohibit
ton that anti-liQuor laws were a |
failure in any part of Idaho where
they had been adopted by vote of
the people.
