YES, THERE ARE FLATHEADS

People who are markedly broad
headed are more or less flattened at
the back of the head. Some OF the
--LATEST headed people of the world
are among the Armenians and the
tribesmen in the highlands OF Asia
Minor and some OF them practice the
custom of bandaging the babies heads
In order to get them the approved
shape. 1t is Just the opposite in
Crete.

Musings BY Bob"

Moore & Fry have 50 spring pigs at
their ranch So miles southwest OF town.
What do you think OF that ; inch rain
on May 10Th and 10th? Certainly fine
for the tract.
Golf & Gregg are doing some ditchlng
leveling and fresnong at the Glenn Cou-
lee Ranch, for Moze Massey x Sons.
Ii you think this is not fall wheat
country, take trip to Tom kehrers
ranch miles northwest OF town. fon
never saw better, anywhere.
Geo. Epperson's ranch, southeast OF
town, is certainly showing the result OF
his labor and is worthy OF particular
comment.
John Bruner is all smiles on account
of the rain last Monday and Tuesday.
He says he thinks there is no danger OF
mildewing the alfalfa.
The man who will kick on climatic
conditions as they exhist on the North
Side tract certainly needs fixing" some
where.
Guy Towle, of the Towle Land Co., re-
ports the irrigation of l20 acres of alfalfa
in "a hours. Guy says the method used
does not require bitches or corrugations,
and is praying for another inch soaker
in couple OF weeks.
Don't forget to attend the Tax Payers
League to be held at the City hall, Fri
day evening, May 18th, at $50. We
are not kicking on our taxes, but We
want every one else to pay in the same
proportion. So look out Sister towns

"MOOnIight Sue."

Looking towards the west on a clear
day from any OF Jerome's houses one can
readily find a cozy, homelike little house,
with its clean coat of white paint stand
ing out against the blue sky and on de-
cided heighth that commands the re-
spect OF surrounding houses and neigh
bors OF lower station in life. Such is the
home that shelters our heroine.
Not many days since the writer had
the pleasure of forming the acquaintance
OF young man by the name Dwell,
let's call him John, to be accurate-who
had made the trip from his ranch to the
scene of our friend, well, let's say, to see
Sunny Sues father.
The shades of night were fast falling
and the evening was spent in neighborly
gossip OF ranch life and its many phases.
During this period dishes were washed
and the evening chores were finally com.
pleted.
Scenes were shifted; it was the time o.
full moon, unobserved Sunny Sue wa.
watching the rise of the moon as i
rose over Jerome's shining and glistenins
lights as they stood out in strong con
trast to the darkness about.
Up, up, up, the moon came, foodin,
jerome with its bright light, covering i
from portal to portal, steadily rising un
til the whole city was set, as it were, OF
fire with the glow OF the moon.
Meanwhile our heroine had called t.
her side none other than the strong an,
courageous John" He who can rid
like the wind, and is all as tall as he i
handsome. Together they watched tn
slowly rising moon. What sight-Ou

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
They Discuss Highway Districts
And Alfalfa Meal, And Enjoy
Pleasant Evening.

Pleasant Evening.
An informal meeting OF the CONNER
cial Club was called for last evening, and
a general invitation having been extend
ed to our citizens, and others, resulted
in quite an attendance outside OF mem
bers OF the club.
After short business meeting of the
club, President kartzke introduced A.
L. Speakman, chairman of the board OF
County Commissioners, who spoke for
some time upon the question of establish
ing highway district for jerome and
the country tributary thereto. He en-
deavored to give clear Interpretation OF
the law as he understood it, and his re-
marks were listened to with much inter-
est by all present.
His remarks called forth general dis
cussion of the question, and several little
technical points were raised as re-
CARDS the full meaning of some OF
the sections, but no one present seemed
competent to interpret these points in
telligently. The discussion however, has
brought up questions that it is we'll to
look into, as the citizens Of the district
should vote upon the matter intelligently
and, while we believe the general terms
of the laws is far superior to the present
condition of things, there may be found
few minor clauses that will need re-
modelling later on. No formal action
however was taken by the club.
The good roads discussion hereupon
gave way to talk on alfalfa meal, by
Messrs. j. 0. Gates, of Twin Falls, and
Roberts, of Wichita, Kans., who were
present in the interest OF alfalfa meal
mills. These gentleman have just ar
ranged for the installation of such mill
at Kimberly, with a capacity of 90 tons
daily. These gentlemen pointed out the
great advantage OF grinding the alfalfa
into meal before feeding, as in this con-
dition there is no loss whatever, while il
feeding the hay from the stack % pei
cent loss is estimated. The hay can bt
grOullu llllO lltsii III q NOot iiOt S->NSSN'iiis
s.. 90 per ton, which is very little more
than the cost of baling the same, and no
taking into consideration the per cent o
loss in feeding the hay, the product con
verted into meal was i'll condition t
ship to any part of the country.
These gentlemen asserted that no wher
. in the United States was the alfalfa pro
q duct OF such high grade as here il
Southern Idaho, and as this meal is no,
, being fed in about every state in tn
! Union, the demand for it was unlimited
Many points OF interest were brough
out, which we would like to dwell upon
did time permit, hnt the advantages {
q alfalfa meal has already been dwelt upo
in these columns, and we will have nor
to say of it later on. While there wei
not many farmers present at this mee
!. ing, the remarks of Messrs. Roberts an
&c Gates were listened to with much intel
! est, and the points brought out in fave
l. of the meal are OF such nature as
IT demand serious consideration among OF
x business men and farmers.
AS the hour was late the meeting W;
hereupon adjourned, and all departed
telling that they were well repaid for the
II attendance.

Board of Trustees.

The board OF trustees met IN regular
session Tuesday evening, with members
all present excepting Adamson.
The minutes OF the previous meeting
were read and approved, and the oath OF
office was administered to &. F. Annett,
the newly appointed clerk, by Chairman
Gauss.
The report of the water committee was
heard, which indicated progress along
the line OF getting the bitches through
the town in proper shape.
A. B. Stevens, the city engineer, APP
peared before the trustees and asked to be
named as delegate to represent jerome
at the Intermountain Good Roads Asso-
citation, to be held at Pocatello next
month, explaining the motives OF
the meeting, and the benefits that
may be derived from it. On motion
Mr.. Stevens was appointed as such dele
gate.
The attention OF the trustees was called
IN the fact that the new school building
stands in a territory with inadequate fire
protection, as the nearest hydrant is one
and one-half blocks distant, whereupon
the clerk was ordered to make applica-
ton to the Water Company for ny
drant to be placed at the southwest cor
ner of the school lot.
A general request comes from citizens
who have children attending school for q
sidewalk to connect Main street with the
school lot. The matter was discussed al
some length, several citizens being pres
ent and taking part in the discussion
and in this connection it was also urged
that the cement walks on Main street bt
extended on either side, one block eas
from the present terminus and also ont
block west from Maple street, the pres
ent terminus of the walks. The trus
tees have taken the question under adj
visement, and the matter will come be
fore the board again at their meeting tw,
weeks hence, when an ordinance vii
likely be drafted ordering these walks
Resident property owners who are inter
ested in this matter are requested to APP
pear before the board at this meeting
and make their opinion upon the ques
ton known.
w. r. Forbes, one of our transfer men
appeared before the trustees, asking tina
license for draymen be graded in pro
portion to the tonnage capacity OF tn
vehicle in Use. The matter, however
was left as it now stands, for the present
Chairman Gauss reported that tn
Idaho Southern Telephone Co., who al
successors to the former company herr
had asked that the franchise granted I
that company be transferred to them an
to be extended for fifty years. No actio
was taken upon the matter.
There being no further business, upo
motion, the trustees adjourned to tt
next regular meeting, May Both.

choice as soon as convenient. Attend to
it at once and let us get together and

SAYS CITY
WON'T GET
MUCH HELP
Walter Hammond Points
Out That New Water
Mains Will Not Give City
Any Greater Amount of
Water Pressure.

In speaking of the plans of the Ham
xuond city council to build new water
mains in Hammond, Walter Hammond
stated today that he did not believe that
1t would afford even temporary relief
from the intermittent water famines to
which the city is subject.
Mr.. Hammond said that while it
would provide for the more satisfactory
distribution of water over the city. that
the quantity of the supply would be no
greater. for the reason that it will all
have to come through 36-inch main.
II new trunk line of pipe were to
be built through to Lake Michigan some
relief might be expected, but under
the conditions he said that he did not
believe that the city would get much
relief.
Mr. Hammond says that 1t would
cost 100000 to extend a main down
Columbia avenue to the lake front.
Even then the water problem would
only be solved for a few years
Tho city OF Hammond has a way of
doing things half way said Mr.. Ham,
mond when my father proposed the
development of the present pumping
station along the lines it was built the
people condemned him and said that
the plant was being built twenty-five
years in advance of the needs of the
city.
1T has been only ten years since that
time and already the city finds it nee
essary to build extensive additions to
the plant. buy new pumps and build
new mains
MIR. Hammond said that he agreed
with THE TIMES that the only way to
effect permanent solution of the wat
ev problem Is tos bafid water tunnel
into Lake Michigan for a distance OF
two miles and then extend it through
10 Hammond
Mr.. Hammond pointed out that at the
hearing before the committee at Indi-
annapolis when the question of giving
Gary a court came up that Mayor t. E
Knots of Gary ridiculed the water
supply of Hammond and pointed out its
inadequacy.
