PRUNE THE TREES.

There is nothing the citizens of
Jerome pride themselves on more
than the trees that border our diff
ferent streets.
About thirty miles of these trees
were donated and set out by the com
pany two years ago, and their growth
has been remarkable. With proper
attention it will be only a few years
when these trees will be of untold
value to our citizens, not only from
a standpoint of beauty, but the com
fort they will bring with their cool
ing shade in the hot sunShiny days
of summer.
The question of their proper care
is up to the board of trustees, who,
we are pleased to state, now have
the matter under advisement.
Though the question of finances
confronts the new board, and while
their aim is along the line of re-
trenchment, we fully believe there

A Much ficraIded Case.

The district court at Shoshone is
just now receiving considerable
mention through the state papers,
as it has before it the much talked
of Bank cases that were brought to
Lincoln county through a change of
venue from Blaine Co. The ease
came on for hearing last week, and
prominent legal lights from differ
cnt sections of the state are in at
tendance. 4 jury was selected tC

The taking of testimony bcgar
last week, and it is thought the
case will consume from three t.
four weeks of the time of the court
The case grows out of the failure
of the Idaho State Bank ut Haley

The action of the last legislature
in providing for additional Judges
i'm the over crowded judicial dis
tricts of Idaho, seems to work out
well in this district. As the mat
ter now stands, Judge Walters is
at liberty to hold court in Sho-
shone till the business in hand Is
all transacted, while the new ap-
pointee, Judge Stockslager, holds
forth i'm other county seats of the
district. The terrible strain sc
long hearing down on Judge Wal

business is now relieved. Boil
Judges will. find plenty to do in this

Board of Trustees.

The board Of trustees met in regular
session Tuesday evening, members all
being present. After the adoption of the
minutes of the previous meeting the
board at once got down To active work,
and accomplished much during the even
ing.
Applications for the marshalship were,
received from w. :. Berry, Jno. Gott
Geo. Hineman and a Mr.. Webb of
Wendell. As the duties of marshal the
coming year carry with them the water
ing OF the trees, some discussson fol-
lowed. Mr.. Hincman withdrew his ap-
plicatiOn, and vote being taken, Mr..
Berry received the full vote and was de
clared unanimously elected.
\ committee, consisting of Bussc,
Pence and Adamson, were appointed 10
90 over the ditch system of the town in
company with thc marshal, with view
of ascertaining its completeness and
where repairs were necessary.
The question OF the private use of
water for lawns and gardens came up
and Trustee Busse explained quite fully
the fact that the town had no water right
from the Company, and that the water
| for irrigating the trees was only a dona-
ton from the Company, and that the
privilege shnuid Ice extended 10 lot own
ers for garden and lawn Use. through th,.
| courtesy of the trustees, providing proper
| hcadgates should be put in under the
supervision of the marshal, who will
have full power over the control oi the
same.

lot OWNERS ordered /" put in the propci

Another vital question To- come befor,
tine board Was the care and pruning oi
the trees along the streets of the town.
and il was finally decided that the water
committee ascertain the probable cost o
pruning the same and report ut next
regular meeting.

Some of our exchanges are still
harping away ON the full valuation
clause in the matter of assessments.
1t seems that this clamor is all un-
called for now that the assessors
have entered upon their work. If
the law j. ~ obnoxious a. some of
the papers would have Us believe,
there is nothing that would bring
about lis appeal quicker than Il
rigid enforcement of it. However,
the whole matter has reduced itself
down to the question as To whether
the railroads and other public cor
poratiOns are Ia be assessed al their
full cash valuation. Ii this is done
we do not believe there il single
individual tax payer who Will OBJ
ject to the law a. il now stands.
The state equalization board has
promised this will be done, but thus
far they have failed to intimate
what they consider fair valuation
for these corporations, and the as.
SCISSORS are thus left in the dark
and the town and county boards OF

DEMONSTRATES HIS FAITH.
One of Our North Side Citizens Who
Looks to The Future With
Great Confidence.

Great Confidence.
That the future of this great
North Side tract holds bright pros
poets i'll view for the early purchaser
of land here, is no idle dream, nei-
ther is it an imaginary problem
concocted in the minds of a few
spectators to unload their holdings
here. On the contrary, those who
are most competent to Judge the fu-
ture, from practical experience and
with full knowledge of climatic
conditions, soil, etc., are the ones
who are Withholding their land from
the market, and are looking for
more.
We believe there is not Il settler
ON the tract whose judgement could
better be relied upon than J. W.
Handy. He is man of mature
years, and has spent the most Of his
life in irrigated sections, where he
has seen land Jump from mere nom
lnal figures to almost fabulous pri-
ces. Mr.. Handy has spent years in
Washington and Oregon, and some
seven years ago purchased land in
the Hagerman valley, which he still
owns.
When this tract was opened he
made careful study h the condi-
tions here, and, having spent the
most of his life in the fruit industry ,
he at once comprchendcd the many
advantages here, and became the
posscsSor of 40 acres about - miles
northwest of town. Twenty acres
Of this land was put into alfalfa
r and the other twenty acres was last
. year prepared for an orchard
Mr. Handy has just completed
the task of setting ont the trees on
this piece Of ground, divided a. fol-
lows; 800 Jonathans, 80 Whrte
Winter Pairnains, 100 Ganos, and
e 100 Winesaps. In addition to this
he has also put out a little over an
acre of domestic orchard, contain
, ing assortments of various kinds
His idea in setting out these trees
L was not merely for an orchard, but
: the program followed demonstrates
1 his foresight and ultimate faith in
the future.
He has divided the land into
four sections of five acres each, and
has 81 planted the trees that aI
equal per cent of each number will
. be ON each of the five acre tracts
' \ boulevard 40 feet wide will run
the entire length of the 20 acres
: which he proposes to seed, each sid,
a of the boulevard to he skirted Will
a row of poplars While you could
4 not buy a foot of this land from
q Mr.. Handy at the present time, oul
# readers will readily guess his ulti'
q mate intention, which is to sell of
4 these five acre tracts when they
: come into bearing, and when W,
: conceive the beautiful appearance,
a his orchard will make within few
l. years, the amount these tracts vii
bring is simply matter of conJec
ture, but YOU can rest assured tha
it will bring handsome returns oI

The more the dairy question is
discussed among our farmers the
more determined are some to branch
out along these lines as soon as con-
ditions will permit, and several who
had contemplated putting in alfalfa,
will change the program and put in
pastures instead. Our farmers can
not help but see the benefits to be
derived from monthly cash rev.
enuc, and we understand some have
already opened up negotions for the
purchase OF suitable dairy COWS.

Very Gratifying.

The Hagcrman Valley sun OF last week
says:
THE second bids for the building OF
the school house were opened last Tues
day and il was found that w. IL. Shep-
hard of Hagerman had the lowest bid,
and the contract was awarded to him.
The bid was SlG.G5O and this includes
the heating plant and plumbing. Work
will bc started at once on the building
and il will bc pushed to completion. and
there is no fear but what ii will Ice com
pleted in ample time for the next term

Ii is very gratifying indeed to note the
interest manifested along educational
lines in this section, and it is this deter
mination ON the part of our residents ior
unequallcd school facilities that is re-
spnnsiblc in large measure for the
rapid building up of this section of Idaho.
With the new school house at Jerome
now nearing completion, another fine
building in the course of construction at
Wendell. and the contract let for one at

no fear for the proper education of their

DON'T STOP PRAYING
Evangelist Kennedy Tells
Large Audience.

pray, and don't quit" was the ad-
vice given by Rev. H. D. Kennedy at
the First M. E. church last evening,
in addressing an audience at revival
meeting. Rev. Kennedy chose for his
text the story of the woman and the
unjust Judge, found in the eighteenth
chapter of Luke. From this he con-
cluded that when Christians stop
praying during revival, they take
the work out of Gods hands, and re-
move all chance for it's successful COM
pletion. He showed the benefits
coming from constant, conscientious
prayer, and exhorted the audience not
to stop their efforts as soon as the
first effects of the revival had passed.
Incidentally, the evangelist told the au-
dience to study the tactics of the COM
mon enemy, wickedness. He repeated
the success Abraham Lincoln had at
tanned from following this principle.
How to be Happy" talk especial
ly for young people, will be delivered
by Rev. Kennedy this evening at the
First M. E. church. This address will
be one of the features of the week,
and is expected to draw a large crowd
to the church. A service for Bible
reading is being observed this after
noon in connection with the revival.
On Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Kennedy,
wife of the evangelist, will talk to girls
of the city.

TOO MANY NURSES
WA|OELE BELIEVES
Councilman Also Says Rail
roads Don't Pay Hos
pital Enough.
BY FRANK L. WAIDELE.
Councilman, Seventh Ward.)

councilman, Seventn "dTo.)
AS there seems to be misunder-
standing concerning the hospital re-
port to council last Monday, wish
to make the following statement as to
how it came about:
At the September budget meeting
when the hospital appropriation of $5,-
600 was asked, raised the question;
What for? Answer, for more nurse
rooms and laundry. Right here let
me state that l have for the last fifteen
years, aside from my profession, stud
led public affairs, of which two years
was spent at indianapolis, and l know
at once that Reid Hospital had COM
paratively more nurses than the hospi-
tails at the capital. Why so? Go to In
dianapolis and you will not find the
nurses standing around, but will find
them busy going from one room to an
other and in the public ward, from bed
to bed. too busy to ask your wishes.
Now compare them with nurses here
Go through the Reid hospital and see
the nurses standing around. seeming
ly having nothing to do. Is there a
business house in this city where you
will find clerks standing around? If
you do, you will come to the conclu-
sion that there are either too many
clerks or not enough business. Pessi-
mistic views! Cranky ideals! No, sim
ply business proposition, and you
absolutely must combine business
management with any public institu-
ton, II not. it will be failure. Anoth-
er thing. why did one Of the employees
at the hospital inform me on Sunday.
October the 22d. that the new rooms
above the laundry were for help
around the hospital instead of for
nurses?
The Item states the price paid by
the ward patients is 81 day. That's
true. But the average cost of caring
for a ward patient is $198 day. Rail-
roads pay for their ward patients $3.50
per day.
Who pays the difference? No one
objects to the additional CSC from the
general or from the endowment fund
for charity, but the additional 4Sc for
the railroad companies patients. en-
ployes Of corporations who are we'll
able to pay. arc given the same con-
sideration as the general run of ward
patients. and right here is where the
public, the tax paying public. objects
to make up the difference, and rightly
SO. There is no tax payer going to OBJ
tect as long as he knows it Is for
charity. There is another reason why I
raised the question. So far as Dr.
Wampler is concerned. let me state
right here 1t was myself who demand.
ed to know the facts. wanted facts.
and got them. and let me state again,
there Is no man in Richmond or else
where who can hitch me to his band
wagon and make me pull. The people
elected me to ONCE to do my duty,
and l am going to do 1t.

bons in the present lamps burned

The seven men who confessed that

their sentence correspond to the pen
