Children Hungry While Fruit and Veg
etables Rot.

ttdDleS hOts
There has been a great dea
written during the past year OF
the high cost of living.
A great many reasons have beer
given for the high prices of pro
ducts in our cities. They have
hardly mentioned the real trouble
In every part of the country
there are fruits and vegetables rot
ting in the fields and orchards Of
the farmers; and while this food
stuff is rotting, children in ouI
cities are hungry.
The real trouble is there is toe
much difference between prices
paid to the producer and prices
paid to the consumer.
The farmers products are not
sold too f,gh by him, but the cost
of getting them to the consumer
is too great.
There needs be more co-opera-
ton between the consumer and
the producer such cooperation
would develop new method OF
handling the products from the
farmers to the consumers.
The railroads would do we'll Ito
put wide awake commercial agents
to studying plans with which they,
the railroads, could assist i'm briug-
ing the consumer and the producer
closer together.
We simply mean that our conn.,
mercial system needs reorganiza-
ton, and the transportation CON-
panies would naturally be an in
terested party in the reorganiza-
ton.
The products sold by the farmer
doesn't reach the consumer soon
enough. 1t is very often from "a
to ~ hours from the time it is
gathered until it is delivered at its
destination. This point should be
looked into by the producers, con-
sumers and transportation compa.
MES; and every available means
should be used to get products tc
the consumer at the earliest posi-.
BILE moment after they are gather.

Wearing Away Of Mother Earth

Investigations by the United
States Geological Survey of the
erosion of numerous drainage ba-
sins of the United States show
that the surface of the country is
being removed at the average rate
of about an inch in 760 years.
Though this amount seems trivial
when spread over the surface OF
the country, it becomes stipend
GUS when considered as a total. or
even in separate drainage basins.
Mississippi river, for instance,
carries annually to the sea 1885,
100000 tons of dissolved matter
and $40, 100000 tons of suspended
matter, and of this total Ohio river
carries SO, $4,000 tons and Mis-
souri, river contributes more than
twice as much. Colorado river,
which has built up for itself a vast
delta, brings down more suspend
ed matter than any other river in
the United States, delivering an
nually 3S7 tons for each square
mile of its drainage basin, or a to-
tai of l0O,74O,000 tons.

same to be thoroughly cleaned

once in every twenty-four hours
after the use thereof. All wood

sess aforesaid, shall be kept
lth oroughly whitewashed and

building or premises shall be so
constructed as to prevent blood
or foul liquids or washings from
settling in the earth beneath. "
Provisions should be made to
carry the offal and refuse matter
at least 125 feet from the build
ing; the walls must be smooth
and tight; all openings, doors
and windows should be screened
with 18-mesh wire against flies,
an abundance of hot and cold
water should be provided for
cleaning purposes; instruments,
utensils, ropes, tackle, etc., should
be kept absolutely clean; the floors
must be secured every day.
Hides must not be stored in con-
nection with the slaughter pen;
and water from a surface well
must not be used if there is any,
thing within 125 feet which
might polute it.
The livery stable of ]. C. Kill
lingsworth is well kept.
The court house is in need of
considerable attention, to bring
it up to the standard intended,
Judging from the architecture of
the building. Itneeds a thorough
cleaning floors, windows, walls
and woodwork. A new cover
should be placed on the judges
stand. There is considerable evil
dence of spider webs and dirt
daubber nests around. The tot
lets and lavatories upstairs, down
stairs, and in the yard are in need
of more attention and especially
of a thorough cleaning. Around
the seats in the court room is
considerable filth due to promis-
cuous splitting. The floor should
be scraped and secured. The
lower floor of the building needs
much cleaning to have it in good
order. There are a number of
broken places in the plastering
which should be repaired; the
woodwork should be scraped and
painted; the doors open inside in
stead of outside. There is much
evidence of decomposition of the
mortar between the bricks in the
outside walls.

cleaning the cleansing process

1.-The buckets need to be scour-
ed regularly, as one or two of
these were found to be very in
sanitary. There was a large pile
of fertilizer on the ground near
the court house and Jail gathered
from the court house yard, which
was the result of allowing ami
mails to run at large there, and
also the hitching of horses to the
racks around the square. Pro-
visions should be made for a lot
in which to place the visitors
horses instead of having them
scattered around town tied to
racks for that purpose. The
standing around of horses and
cows creates a nuisance and rem
ders the atmosphere disagreeable
for the citizens.
The high school building is bad
ly constructed, poorly lighted and
ventilated, and arrangements
should be made Immediately to
change the lighting. Some i'm
provements could be made in the
Fairgrounds. The comfort hous-
es are not kept as they should be.
The Baptist colored church and
school needs better cleaning.
The buckets should be cleaned
regularly and the dippers should
be discarded The cistern in the
rear of the building should be
provided with a pump so that the
opening might be thoroughly
covered to be protected from
mosquitoes.
St. Mary A. M. E. colored
church and school needs to have
the rubbish in the corners and
back of the building removed.
The windows need cleaning;
several panes should be replaced;
the water buckets should be
cleaned and dippers discarded;
the garbage placed in the stove
should be taken out; the empty
bottles around the place should
be removed, and everything kept
in sanitary condition. The COM
fort houses are not as clean as
they should be.
The L. r. & N. depot is kept
in fair condition. The comfort
houses are in fair condition,
though they do not meet the re-
quirements of the Sanitary Code.
A sanitary sewerage system is
one of your greatest needs for
protection of the health of the
community. Until this can be
provided you should adopt an or
dinance requiring all property
owners to install closets accord
ing to one of the sanitary models
shown on the car. The regula-
tons of the Sanitary Code gov
erning same should be enforced
which prescribes that: Every
privy must be provided with
tight containers and
screened with suitable material
arranged so as to protect as far
as possible the access of flies from
fluids and other contents; said
containers to be cleaned as often
as necessary to keep the sur
roundings in a clean and santa

All horse lots and COW pens
should be kept clean. The SAM

ELECTRIC GO.
GETTING BUSY
GREAT SHOSHONE COMPANY
WILL HAVE POWED TO FER
RY BY EARLY SPRING

The electric companies doing bus
mess in the southern part of the
state are busy and expect to have in
active operation as far as Glenns Fer
ry in the early spring. says the Glenns
Ferry Gazette.
IL is stated upon authority that the
Great Shoshone & Twin Falls Wa
ter Power Company will build a pow
er line from Lower Salmon Falls TO
Glenns Ferry at once This is the com
pany, which is known as the Kuhn
concern, and alrady has power plants
in operation at Shoshone falls and
Lower Salmon falls The line will
be in operation to Glenns Ferry by
early spring.
The building of this plant means a
great deal to Glenns Ferry as it will
afford better facilities for providing
power for water works now under
contemplation.
Taken in connection with the ex-
1CAoAfN Improvements 10 maze on
the King Hill canal system, this un-
limited supply of power will be of
enormous advantage to the town.
The line is likely to be built by
way of Bliss. Ticeska and King Hill.
which will be the means of furnish
ing those towns with light and pow
er.
The Kuhn interests announce that
it is their policy to make special low
rates for manufacturing purposes in
all towns served by their lines. for
the purpose of aiding in the growth
of communities. If the towns along
this new line take advantage OF these
rates to manufactures. it will be a
great aid to them in increasing their
population.
It is also a we'll known fact that
the Telluride Company expects TO
cover the same territory with their
lines. The two companies viii un-
doubtedly compete in rates. Com
petition is the life Of trade whether
in the electric or other lines Of bus
] mess.
