STREET PAVING
AGAIN DISCUSSED
Councilman MCGOvern Will
Confer With the Street
end Sewer Directors

The question of street paving after
again taken up by City Council last
night, the matter being brought up by
Councilman McGovern, who made the
statement that now that the Legisla-
ture had legalized the city govern
ment, it was time to take up street
paving. which had to be dropped when
the Court in Banc declared the last
city election Illegal and the money for
this purpose could not be borrowed.
He made a motion thaJ the members
meet with the Street and Sewer Com
missiOners on next Wednesday to go
over street paving matters. The mo-
tiOn was seconded by Mr. McMullin, of
the Twelfth ward. but was opposed by
most of the members who said they
were satisfied with the list of streets
agreed upon to be paved i'm their re-
spective wards.
Mr.. McMullen who seconded the mo-
ton said he also was satisfied with the
list in his ward but was willing to sec
end Mr.. McGovern's motion. The OPP
position to the motion was so great,
however, that Mr. McGovern finally
accepted an amendment making the
hhbAARA Afdn AndN TIE IOllltItlfG Ut
between Mr.. McGovern and the Street
and Sewer Commissioners. and in this
way the motion was carried
Mr.. McGovern said he was not sat
isfied with the list of streets to be
paved in his ward, and if possible he
wants to get more than was allotted
him. He contended that he never was
consulted when the list for his ward
was made out.
Chairman Kane, of the finance com.
mittee, announced that the matter oI
selling bonds for street improvements
would be taken up as soon as the gov.
ernor signed the bill legalizing th'
city government
President Sparks of the Street anC
Sewer Department was present at tn,
meeting and participated in the dis
cussion. He said he was willing to dis
cuss with any member of Council tn,
list of streets in their respective wards
but did not approve Of having another

Learning Of the reported plan Of
the Mexican insurrectos, which is TO
seize Lower California, Dick Ferris,
manager of the Panama-Pacifc road
race, who says he is at the head Of
100 representive American citizens,
wrote to President Diaz of Mexico,
asking him il he would receive a rep
resentatiye of the 100 and arrange TO
have the piece of land which the
rebels are seeking turned over TO
them.i The purpose Of this movement.
quoting the dispatch to Diaz. is 10
establish a friendly and modern re-
public under progressive officials, 70
be known as the republic of Diaz.
which changes the map of the world
and perpetuates your worthy name,
and I'm view of the completion of the
Panama canal cannot help but result
in tremendous commercial value to
your esteemed republic. The men
back of this movement are unfavor-
able to the revolutionists and are
farseeing, progressive American spir-
its who wish to be identified with ad
vancement and who are willing to
honor and respect your name' Diaz's
reply was that he refused the propo-
sition. Now Ferris has written to
General Orosco, one Of the leaders Of
the insurrectos. telling him that it is
the intention Of American citizens 10
occupy Lower California peaceably il
possible. forcibly if otherwise. The
object for this scheme as stated by
Ferris himself is primarily to give
the world a new republic and later
turn it over to the United States.

Growth of District Court.

While there were about 400
cases in the district court of Ada
county last year. His Honor
Judge Carl A. Davis said to a
Times man this week that the
total for 1911 will exceed 800.
It is necessary to call the court
calendars each month, so it might
be said that court is in continual
session. The criminal calendar IS
called the last Monday of each
month. the civil trial calendar on
the first Monday, and the motion
calendar every Saturday. Judge
Davis and Judge NacLain have
figured that they each have one
case docketed for each trial day for
several months in the future, ana
court is frequently in session be-
fore the two judges, in different
parts of the court chambers, at the
same time.
Judge Davis in the conversation
affirmed the statement ne recently
made in a public address that
there is one divorce granted for
every four marriages solemni1ed !
in Ada county. He further stated
that the greater number OF the
narties had not taken advantage OF
but six months residence in the
state (as required by law) ana
this would indicate that they were
home people, and not trans,entS
coming to Idaho to secure release
from matrimonial bonds. This Is
not only an alarming sltuation'
but it shows a steady increase III
