The New Football.

Just what the newly promulgated
football rules will do to assuage the
rigors of the game. or make it more
interesting 10 SPECTATORS. cannot be
told until they are put into actual
playing effect. On paper, however,
they seem TO make for a rather less
dangerous kind of contest es oecially
in regard to mass plays and to some
extent in open ones, in which there
have, as a matter of fact been fully
as many injuries.
The remodelled game is not very
much like the football of ten years
ago. Perhaps it is better so, although
many a deVotee of the strenuous
tearing, fiery old game will mourn at
the new device Of la ball and soc
Ger that have been introduced into the
sport. Safety of the players, how
ever is the first consideration and
this. We may hope, has a last. been
attained
Evidently the years football is GO
ing to require particularly agile. ener-
getic and quick thinking set of off
Gals. Perhaps they will add to the
amusement of the game.-Boston Post.

1t is evident that the trustees of
the Memorial and Library association
adhere to the plan of controlling adj
jacent property for protective purposes
and for the general Identification of
the Vicinity for the trustees have pur
chased the property of Rev Edward
Babcock, and it is said the town will
be given opportunity to get the prop
erty as a town hall site. This prop
erty is located on the corner of Tn
ion and Broad streets, as is the WEIGH
property. with a large frontage on
BroaC street and extends along Union
street to the fire house and about the
same distance as the Welsh property
in that street which extends to the
town hall building. This is desirable
property and contains the building oc-
cupied by the Exchange for Woman's
work. and the Nestor residence, fac
ing Broad street, and a dwelling in
Union street.
The purchase Of this property by
the trustees may be a factor that may
result in ha ppy solution of the cut
ting down of Cookey hill and the
erection of new town hall With the
change in ownership of the Babcock
property the claim for damages in
connection with the cutting down OF
the hill from that source is eliminated
and with the fire district and town
property aside. the only claimants for
damage by reason of change in the
present grade of the street are the own

BOISE GRAND JURY

Returns Three Indictments, but
Can Find Nothing Indicat-

Special TO The Tribune.


BOISE, Ida, Feb. l2.-After a siren
nous weeks session the special grand
jury reported this evening. returning
three indictments involving the meat
trust, and while the findings Of the body
are secret, it can be stated with author.
ity that the indictments are against
Swift & Co.. the Idaho Dressed Beef
company and he Boise Butcher com
pany, all charged with selling short
weight lard. These three cases were
tried in the Justice court. Swift G. Co.
was acquitted and the two others con
victed and fined 5000 Both cases were
appealed TO the district court.
In special report the Jury acknowl-
edged that it is confident coal trust
is in existence and that most of the
dealers in the city are members of the
union; that this trust raised the price
Of coal and organized for that purpose
This evidence the Jury did not con
slider sufficient on which to bring in
dictments against the coal dealers.
The jury also reports that it can find
no indications pointing to the existence
OF meat trust, although it is admitted
that there is combination of meat
men here who control practically the
trade Of the city. The jury goes on to
say that there is no evidence to show
that this combination was effected ia
raise the price of meat or that it did
raise the price.
The general view taken here by con
sumers over the findings of the Jury
is one Of disappointment, for they are
inclined to the opinion that n white
wash has been effected in that the threc
indictments returned only involve de
PENDANTS whose cases had thoroughly
been tested out in the lower court.

FARMERS HELD DOWN.;
NO RAISE FOR BEETS
David EccIes Tells Cache County
Men He Would Rather
Cut Price.
to The Tribune.

LOGAN, Feb. 12-The committee ap-
pointed Mt n recent meeting Of the
sugar beet farmers Of this district to
confer with the sugar factory interests
in order to try to obtain a raise in the
price of beets, met today with David
Eccles, president of the two sugar fac
tories of Cache county and the principal
sugar factory owner in this part of the
state.
Mr.. Ecclcs declared that if he made
any change in the price of bcets, il
would he a cut instead of raise, and
upon the threat that the farmers would
turn their beet farms into farms for
other products, he declared that he
would close one Of the factories, and
even both Of them if necessary, before
he would raise the price of bcets one
cent.
The committee will make its report
to the beet farmers in the near future
II is almost certain that the action on
the part of Eccles will greatly reduce
the sugar beet acreage this year.
