after which Mayor Reilly of Emmett
in a cordial manner welcomed the
people of the valley. He was fol-
lowed by Mayor Coughanour of
Payette who responded in a most
fitting manner. Next there was
music by the New Plymouth Band

AT WORK ON FOUNTAIN.

Workmen are this week engaged in
finishing the fountain basin to sur
round the big elk donated to the city
by Mayor w. A. Coughanour. AS the
work progresses one can see that
the fountain is going to be one to be
greatly appreciated by the public. The
cement basin surrounding the elk will
have two fountains playing continual
" in il and the drains are so arrang-
ed as to keep the basin about one
foot deep in water. On four sides of
the basin there viii be as many sani-
tary drinking fountains for pedestrisit
and also four troughs where teams
and stock may be watered. This will
do away with the ranchmen having
to bring a pail to town with them
to water their teams or to spend time
looking for a place as the drinking
troughs for teams and stock is 50
arranged that team can be driven
up unchecked and watered while
hitched to a buggy or wagon.

consciousness he was none the
worse for the accident than a slight
soreness.
