district court at its next session.
During the progress of this trial

vile to the statement to the vot-
ers of Idaho County, upon which
rests the campaign represented
by the Idaho County Reform
League. My investigation lead
me to the discovery of the fact
that it was George Wood.

self and to the very laudable
cause which / represent, not only
join Judge DeHaven in the affi-
davit above, but add the addi-
tional explanation as simple JUS

Subscribed and sworn to be-

Der, 1911.
L. VINEYARD,
Justice of the Peace.
Inasmuch as / am the "indi-
vidual" to who, the dry" fore
es in this campaign have referred
to as having signed an affidavit
in reference to the Idaho County
Reform Leagues statement to
the voters. wish to say now, that
Mr.. Evan Evans presented this
typewriter statement to Judge
DeHaven at the Court House;
that he read it in my presence; l
signed it and handed it back to
him as voluntary act, without
any pressure from him, and this
statement is made in justice to
him that he and the public who
may think differently, may know
that no improper motives should
be ascribed to him for his partici-
patton in my signing this state
ment.
Dated at Grangeville, Idaho,
Nov. 18th, 1911.
GEORGE WOOD.
Before / procured this state
ment from Mr.. Wood, / tele-
phoned to Mr.. George M. Reed,
the president of the dry forces in
this county and, in a neighborly
way, advised him that l had dis
covered the man who had signed
the affidavit referred to. to be
George Wood, which Mr.. Reed
answered was correct, and / then
asked him what he was going to
do about it, as / did not want to
place Mr.. Wood in an embarras-
sing light. He referred me to
one Hickey, whom he said was in
charge of the situation.
/ then, having located the party
responsible for the circular, call
ed on Mr.. Hickey and advised
him Of my appreciation for Mr..
Reed, who was a neighbor of miht
in this little community, and told
him of my desire to embarrass
Mr.. Wood as little as possible,
and requested him to retract the
statement in the Globe and the
Free Press which were to issue the
following day. He lodged and
evaded, and insisted that he could
not act until he got the board of
seven together, and finally, late
last evening, advised me that he
could not make the retraction.
/ simply desire my acquaint-
ances in Idaho County to know
the circumstances attending the
situation, that ! may be placed
right first, with my organization,
for the members Of which / have
the greatest consideration; sec
ond, with those who differ from
me in the other organization, and
third, to demonstrate to the pub
lie the maligning instincts Of
whomsoever may be responsible
for the publication and circula-
ton of the falsehood quoted
above.

Alderman Burger, chairman of the
street committee, has informed The
Eagle that it is the intention of the
council to enforce the provisions of
the charter and ordinances relating to
sidewalks on all the streets where
such walks are needed. The council
has the right to prescribe the mate
rial of which the sidewalks are to be
constructed as well as the, width, but
Alderman Burger will, as far as prac-
ticable, leave this to the discretion of
the property owner 1t is expected,
however, that on all the principal
streets cement sidewalks will be built.
The first cost may be greater than
wood, but in the long run they are the
cheapest. BY special permission of the
street committee wood may be used
in certain cases
The determination of the city coun-
ell to enforce the building of side
walks is largely in response to the
practically unanimous demand of the
citizens of Bryan for free mail deliv-
cry. The building of the sidewalks is
condition precedent to securing the
free delivery. A street directory and
the systematic numbering of the
houses are also necessary, and this
will be attended to in due time.

We are informed that the concert
tickets printed for the benefit OF the
band are not selling very fast. This
is something like ingratitude from our
people. who certainly enjoy the con-
certs.
Each person able to do should
certainly buy a ticket, and in the case
of those not so wealthy, several might
contribute to buy one between them
1t makes no difference IL IL takes a
dozen to buy one ticket. as they are
not l., be exhibited. Ten cents apiece
for the season from all who hear the
concerts during the summer would put
the band on easy street. Almost all
are able to give that much. and most
people more.
The bandsmen look fine up on the
stand and il seems easy for them to
make the music. But it is all real
| work-work that they take pleasure
| in, but, all the same, work-and the
| practice that enables them TO turn out
the music so smoothly means at least
another evening a week of hard work
| in the band room, with no crowds to
applaud. They deserve generous sup
port and it will be a reproach to our
people if they do not receive it.
