THE CITY BUSINESS

The state board of health having
notified the council that dischargine
sewerage into streams is to be dis
continued so far as possible, the
board is gathering information rela
tive to sceptic tanks, expecting to in
stall a tank south of Mr.. Doud's resi-
dence to consume all substance in the
sewer so nothing but pure water shall
pass from the sceptic tank to the
river.
Divide Money Among Banks
A decision was reached concern
!, the places of deposit for city
moneys during the construction of
the sewer system and the city build
ing. Fifty per cent is to be loaned
to or deposited with d. w. Standrod
& Co., 25 per cent with the First Ma
tional bank and 25 per cent with the
Blackfoot State bank.
The banks pay 3 per cent interest
on daily balances, and the money is
to be drawn or used from the banks
in the Same pro rata.
Building Permit

addition to cost $4,000
Mayor West suggested that it
would be good plan to devote some
time now to the matter of forming
pavement districts where people want
pavements the comnig season, and
make all these investigations and lay
the plans before the spring rush and
the work of the sewer system begins.
Also to do 1t all at once to save ex-
pense in the matter of publishing or
dinances, rather than doing 1t by
peacemeal as much had been done in
the past year. The members of the
council manifested considerable in
terest in this matter, and some talk
followed as to where trees might be
planted IL at all on the outside of
walks and pavements. All these mat
ters will probably be discussed at
some length at the next meeting, and
persons wishing to offer suggestions
or lay any problems of this kind be-
fore the board, would do well to be
On hand to present them.

FIRST TRUSTEES
CONVENTION
Addresses of Som Speakers
Schools tha. Grow Too
Rapidly to Keep Up With
Fun for Young People.

! Last Saturday there was a good at
tendance Of trustees at the conven-
ton called by the county superinten-
dent, and the day was occupied with
discussions of school questions.
State Superintendent Miss Belle
Chamberlain addressed the meeting
on the purposes of the schools, en-
| phasizing the fact that it is to make
the best citizens possible of the pup
| lis, not for the development of mere
courage as did the Carthagenians,
beauty as did the Athenians, power
as did The Romans, but to develop all
the powers equally.
Prof. MILES T. Reed of the Acad-
emy of Idaho spoke on the need of
rural schools, and said the farmer
boy lacks the fundamentals, especi-
allye the use of English, the bility
to write and spell and express his
thoughts clearly. That the lack of
social advantages in the country is
responsible for SO many country
youth flocking to the cities where
they work for salaries that merely
pay expenses.
His suggestion to remedy this was
to make social center, have the
lyceum and other intellectual amuse-
ments in winter; baseball, tennis,
swings and picnic days for summer,
when all the community should meet
often in half holiday. Better sac
rifice something in the community
than to lose the youth of the COM
munity. A holiday is not a sacrifice
anyway, it having been shown that
people accomplish more in five and
a half days when they have some
thing pleasant to look forward to
than they do in six if they have
nothing in view to stimulate effort.
1t will be said that the older folks !
of he community do not care to play
games nor sit around and watch the
others, but they should find interest
ing subjects to occupy their atten-
tion. There are always needed inns
provements and needed reforms to be
planned. If the school grounds were
made the social and civic center, trees
and shrubs planted, walks made, and

FARMERS
INSTITUTE
Many Farmers Attend and
Are Well Pleased Despite
a Few Unfavorable
Features

The institute which convened al
Blackfoot on Monday morning was
pronounced the best, and yet the
worst disappointment of any we have
held.
| There were five sessions, and each
one had some good features and
some disappointments, and to be fair
in our report, show how the, mis-
takes were made so we may guard
against them in the future, and to
publish the profitable features for
the benefit of those who were not
present, is the purpose of this re-
port.
At the opening session lin the
morning, there were five speakers,
four listeners and two musicians.
This in itself was a most discourag-
ing feature to the Commercial club
which had hired the hall and gone
to considerable expense, assuming
that the farmers are anxious to learn
up-to-date methods of farming, and
that if speakers and public halls were
provided they would be on hand to
get the benefits.
The meeting was adjourned to the
Comemrcial club rooms, and work
commenced there with constantly
increasing audience. Speakers talked
at random and but few points were
scored. One speaker talked of seed
ing alfalfa land, and stated that If
ten pounds of seed were sowed per
acre, and all seeds terminated, it
would give about So plants per
square foot, and on this reasoning he
showed that sowing more than ten
pounds of good seed was a waste. He
accounted for much of 1t not grow-
ing by being buried too deep by the
drilling or narrowing or by drifting
of soil or sands by the wind. He
said alfalfa should be sowed not
more than an inch deep, and if the
land is sandy it should be sowed with
barley, so the barley plants will hold
the soil in place on windy days and
prevent drifting.

He also stated that they would make
no reductions if the new apparam

The citizens present evidently had
no desire to enter into any discussion
and no progress was being made at
al, when a suggestion was made that
the Legislative ticket elected take the
matter in hand and anticipate tne will
OF the people TO this suggestion Mr.
Salter demurred and stated that he
would attend to his part after the pco-
pie had expressed their desire in the
matter but did not see his way clear
TO try and tell the people what they
should do. Mr.. Salter passed the
honor to William Harrington who N
a few words expressed himself as
wiling to do anything in his power
to aid the Trustees and the citizens
in determining what was best to be
done
d. X. Smith then called attention to
the fact that no funds had been pro
vided to carry on the work OF the com
mittee of which Mr. Harrington was
to be Chairman and that the matter
should remain in the hands of the
City Trustees and that it was up to
them to get the data and present it 10
the people for acceptance or rejec
ton The original motion was put
and voted down and the matter was
left with the Board.
A motion was then made and carri-
ed that at the next meeting OF the
City Board, which will be held on the
18th day of December, all data and
figures regarding the question i'll issue
be presented to the citizens, and what
ever other information that can be
secured in the interim.
The Appeal would like to see the
Board of City Trustees get busy on
something definite and accomplish
something Get the data before the
people and then they will gvie The
Board some help But one thing is
certain, few more meetings like last
night and the entire matter will die
Of its own inactivity. Let there be
something done while tne matter is
before the people. If it costs few
dollars to get the data. spend it and
settle the matter satisfactorily to the
people Of this city who are the re
sponsible ones.

from the hard porphyry into softer
rock, has since gone wholly into soft

noon no pay values had appeared in
the quartz, but the crosscut is quite
close to the region of the old baby

most any day.
On the 2450 level OF the c. & c.

are cutting out a station for the Star
rett pump, the latter having been
placed in condition for immediate in
stallation when the station is ready.
After the pump has been successfully
tested, work will be resumed in the
two west crosscuts north of the shaft

promising quartz belonging to the
east ore channel was struck several
months ago, and from which there

Golden Bankrupt

A petition for the purpose of max
ing Frank Golden an involuntary
bankrupt was filed II the Federal
Court in this city yesterday by Jas.
T. Boyd 1t is reported that the ap
plication is based on the enon-payment
of note for $4,000 signed by Tom
Kendall and endorsed by Golden. The
application states that Golden's liabil-
tiles are far in excess of his assets
and asks the court to appoint a re-

business.
In addition to the legal phase of
the matter represents the culminaton

hcTc was HlcctlnS OF the CltiZen'
at the court house last evening &c
hear discussions on the municipa
ownership OF water and to have pre-
sented to them some data regarding
the same. The meeting was there all
right but that is about all that can be
said OF it, The was no information
at hand, at least it never showed, and
the only discussion that was forth
coming was from representatives Of
the News and The Appeal. They EN-
deavored to start something, but the
something didn't start TO any motto
able extent
An executive session OF the Board
was announced at first and all but a
few recognized the request to adjourn
to the court room and allow the
Board to talk the matter over.
Whether they did or not is another
question, but from the remarks OF
several members il would seem that
with the exception OF Mayor Van Et-
ten the rest of the Board are as much
in ignorance of what is intended to be
done as the people themselves.
After awhile the Board filed into
the court room and the Mayor
mounted TO the bench and called the
meeting to order, The first remark
made by him was that the City Trus
tees desired the citizens of the town
to take up the matter appoint COM
mittee, secure the data. present the
same to the Board and il they thought
the ideas advanced feasible they
would put it up to the people again
The idea is probably good one. in
the mind of the Mayor, but there was
no response from the auditor and no
one rushed to the front to offer his
services, coin, time, labor and other
things TO secure the information that
the Board eveidently believes is too
many for them.
A question from the repre- resentative
of the News brought forth the state
ment that the Board had taken the
matter up at the October meeting and
discussed the idea pro and con. That
the Board had some old plans and es-
Inmates that showed that system
could be put in this city for approxi-
mately $l54000. Several other ques-
tons were asked regarding certain
matters in connection with the sys-
TEN and the Mayor answered them to
the best Of his ability. He was asked
whether ne knew the present water
company had franchise and he stat
ed that he did not know.
The next matter that called for at
tention was the reading by the clerk
OF the Board of report by survey
or OF the Board Of Underwriters
which was anything but compliment
airy to our little city. Mr.. Art Meyers
arose and stated that he and Foreman
Evans had received a communication
from the Underwriters of San Fran
cisco stating that il a new fire system
was put in the insurance rates would
