( Meetings are held ON the third Sat
hrday of each month, at which mat
tiers of educational interest and i'm
portance are considered, particular
attention being paid local problems
and conditions with which the pro.
fession has to deal. Owing to the
poor condition of the roads, the repre-
sentation cf teachers was not as large
as it would have been under more
favorable circumstances, but in spite
of the relatively small attendance we
believe at least one important thing
was accomplished, the teachers dem
onstrated that they are intestered
and interest always precedes results
The first meeting was almost who'll
ly of n business nature, dealing with
matters peculiar to the organization.
Judge Cough gave an interesting and
instructive lecture on Parliament

musical numbers We're rendered by
members of the association. As u
fitting termination to the exercises
the Montpelier teachers served light
refreshments to the visitors.
The next meeting will be held at

tentions to bring to the teachers at
these meetings definite aid and help.
Word has been received from Prof.
Black of the Albion State Normal,
Offering the service of himself and
entire staff at any meeting. There is
no question but that the organization
can and will do a great deal of good
in raising the standard of efficiency
among the teachers of the county.

Governor Hawley announced the
appointment of Mr.. Rich to this
office, many people felt that he had
made a mistake: that sam wouldn't
do much but draw his salary. No
one doubted but what Sam was big
enough TO fill the Office, but no one
suspected he would exert energy in
proportion to his size, in advancing
Idaho's interests and advertising it's

LABOR CONDITIONS
BAD IN ENGLAND

London, Nov. l8.-Like a dread
ful nightmare, the fear of a new
general railroad strike is lowering
over England. The most optimis
tic observers fail to see a ray of
light ahead. Even the railroad
companies ackno Wedge that man
cannot work for paltry weekly
wage of -. so and feel that he il
receiving just recompense for his
labor. When he has to support a
family small wonder he becomes
desperate.
English workingmen are, il is
said, the most patient and con.
servative in the world, and had
their employers paid them the
smallest possible living wages the
men would have remained conaer.
vative forever. They were forced
into socialism and unlonism BY
starvation wages and as they have
awakened to the fact that they owe
very slight improvement in their
lot TO their labor unions, they insist
that organized capital must recog.
nize organized labor.
Too late, the railroad companie.
are offering the men a raise oi
wages. 1t is like throwing food &c
a pack of ravenous wolves. In
time the railroad companies will
have to recognize the labor unions
and if they are wise they viii do az
before another strike, which vii

FIRE AT LINCOLN 3CH0OL
NARROWLY AVERTED

Last Monday about one O'Clock
some of the children who We're play
ing in the yard mt the Lincoln school
building noticed smoke issuing from
the roof near the chimney They
notified Janitor Stuck, who quickly
gave the alarm, and then securing a
ladder from n nearby house, managed
to reach the roof aud began tearing
off the smoking shingles. The fire
department responded promptly, but
it was not necessary TO turn a stream
of water on, as bncket or two of
water had prevented the shingles
from igniting.
-is fortunate that the children
noticed the smoke just when they did
for had the blaze once gotten start,
the dry shingles would have burned
like finder. 1t is fortunate, too, that
the fire did not start during school
hours. for an alarm then would
doubtless caused panic among the
little folks and many of them would
have been hurt, and possibly some
would have been killed.

urday, at a depth of 100 feet the
drill penetrated vein of coal over
ten feet in thickness. About four
feet above the coal, there was very
strong indications of oil.
So we'll satisfied are these men
that there are vast coal beds in that
section, that they are going to drill
AZ several other points on Mr. Poul-
sens ranch and adjoining ranches.
Should it be proven that a ten
foot vein of good coal exists at a
depth Of only $50 feet, it would not
be difficult to secure capital with
which to develop the property and
the visions the Liberty people are
now having of immense coal mines
there would become a realty.
Should oil also exist in paving
quantities, in connection with the
coal, it would increase activities in
that section many fold and Liberty
would indeed become real Pitts

WILL HELP TO keep
WATER SUPPLY PURE

Washington, d. q. Nov. 49,
Secretary Wilson has decided that
the interests of cities and towns
which obtain their water from
streams having their watersheds
within National forests call for
special measures of protection, and
he has therefore developed a plan OF
cooperation for the Department of
Agriculture with those communities
which are alive to the importance of
keeping their water supply pure.
There are many western towns
and cities, some of them of large
slze, which derive their water from
drainage basins lying inside the
National forests. One of the recog.
nized objecteof forestry is to insure
the permanenoe and protect the
purity of municipal water supplies.
AS the forests are maintained for
the benefit of the public, Secretary
Wilson considers it the duty of his
department. to do all that it can
both to prevent the pollution OF
such supplies and to create or main.
tain conditions most favorable to q
constant flow of clear water.
Stock raising and occupancy OF
the land for the various kinds oil
use wich are ordinarily encouraged
on the National forests may be
highly undesirable if allowed on
drainage basins which are the sour.
ces of drinking water. There is also
TO be considered the injury which
may be done if the water is silt-lad
en-. By protecting and improving
the forest cover and by enforcing
special regulations to minimize
erosion and to provide for the main.
tenance of sanitary conditions, the
government will try to safeguard
the interests of the pnblic.
A form of agreement has been
drawn up, providing that, when
cooperation is entered INTO between
the Secretary of Agriculture and
any city desiring conservation and
protection of it's water supply, the
Secretary will not permit the ust
OF the land involved without ap
proval by the town or city excep,
for the protection and care of the
forests, marking, cutting, and dis.
posing of timber which the forest
find may be removed without in
jury to the water supply of the eity
or for the building of roads, tralls
telephone lines, etc, not inconsist
ent with the objects of the agree
msnt, or for rights of way acquired
under acts of congress. The Sec
resary also agrees to require all per

PURE FOOD LAWS
MUST Be OBSERVED

Under date of November l5. James
III. Wallis, state dairy, food and sani-
tary inspector, issued the following
bulletins relative to the sale of un-
drawn poultry and adulterated vin-
egar:
BULLETIN ON UNDRAwN PoU LTRH
The sale of undrawn poultry ii. e.,
poultry containing the entrails or in
testinesl is forbidden under the food
laws of Idaho, which prohibit the
sale of .sany part of an animal unfit
for food" The following sections of
the law cover the same, as construed
by this department:
'sAn article of food shall be deemed
to be adulterated If it consists i'm
whole or in part of a diseased, filthy.
decompose d, infected, tainted, putrid
or rotten animal or vegetable sub
stances: or any part or portion of an
animal diseased or otherwise unfit
for food"
1T shall be unlawful for any per
sohi Vi pCi6OIiSs t0i pOIhbipii vi Goi y
orations TO sell or offer for sale the
meat of any cattle, sheep swine, fish,
game, fowl or poultry which is blown,
tainted, heated, soured. raised, stuff
ed, putrid or impure, or which, for
other reasons, is unfit for human
food"
The possession of any food, the sale
of which is forbidden by the law, is
prima facie evidence that it is for
sale.
This Bulletin is mailed to dealers
so that they may not violate the law.
Prosecutions will be instituted
against any and all persons found so
doing.
BULLETIN ON VINEGAR
1t is against the laws of Idaho to
sell vinegar from any eask or keg,
unless the said cask or keg is branded |
or stenciled on the head with the true !
name of the vinegar, name of the |
article or articles from which 1t is I
made, and the name and address Of |
the manufacturer. The placing Of |
printed label on the cask or keg is !
neither branding or stenciling. Deal- /
ers should see that the head of the I
cask or keg containing this informa-
tioh is on top, exposed to the view of |
the consumer, for whose benefit this t
information is required by law.
All dealers should get guarantees |
from the wholesaler or iobber or
ufActurer, that the vinegars they |
buy comply with the pure food laws
of Idaho. We have lately been clear
ing off the market lot of distilled !
vinegar, eofored to initiate the cider
vinegar. Idaho farmers who are
manufacturing good grade of pure
cider vinegar from their apples are !
going to be protected from this spuri- |
Gus stuff, and notice is therefore given |
to all interested that the laws Of
Idaho deems a product adulterated IL
1t be mixed, colored or stained in 4
manner whereby damage or inferiori1
ty is concealed. In our opinion the
addition of coloring matter to anv
type of vinegar is for the sole purposa
of eoncealing damage or inferioritys
and is therefore prohibited.
