HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING
81 900 of Stock Sold i'm Brick Plant
But $4,000 More Needed

The third annual meeting of the
Newton-American Falls Mining and
Milling company was held Tuesday
afternoon at the Hotel Remington,
5000 shares being represented
President f. b. Wedel reported that
S11 600 worth of stock were sold
but among the stockholders the feel
ing is general that the plant should
not be erected until $4,000 worth
of stock has been sold. Instead of
electing officers for the year
which is customary it was decided
to wait until later in spring, when
the president will call a meeting for
that purpose. 1t is expected that
by June the necessary stock will
be sold and that active work will
then begin. A committee of two,
f. B. Wedel and w. H. Philbrick,
was appointed to have the com
pany's clay tested for terra Gotta
as well as brick, and these gentle
men are expected to soon make some
important announcements. The Of
ficers of the company have many
important plans underway that can
not now be made public but which
will materalize in the near future.
This company has some very valu
able clay deposits around American
Falls and the material has been pro-
nounced by eastern experts to be of
the very best for the making of
fancy building brick.

CLUB WINS
THE SECOND GAME.
Indoor Base Ball Provides Unex~
pected Amusement.-TO Play
Off Tie FRIDAY,


The second game of indoor base
ball between teams selected from
the Commercial club and the Ath-
letic club was played Tuesday even
ing and provided a great deal of
amusement for spectators. The Com
mercial club team won by score
of Is to II. The game was exciting
and filled with amusing incidents.
Many of the players were clownish
in their actions, which in a measure
spoiled the fine points of the game,
but detracted none from the inter-
est An arc light placed in the
center of the hall since the first
game furnished light enough so that
the game could be followed easily
and there were fewer lost balls"
than in the first game. The smooth
floor contributed largely to the
ammusement, the falls being nu-
merous The games have furnished
more amusement than any other en-
tertainment ever given here, and if
people knew what they were missing
the hall would be crowded. The
spectators are seated on the stage
and at the entrance under the
balcony, and several hundred could
find seats in the balcony.
The next game will be played
strictly according to rules and will
have the effect of keeping the
score down. The linepu follows:

mixed chorus under the direction of
Mrs. M. G. Curtis.
AS this is the first oratorio that

one musically inclined. Much time
and labor have been spent in the
preparation of this musical service,

1t will be given for the general pub
lie and everyone is most cordially

offering that will be taken up will
be devoted to the purchase of church
pews.
For two months the chorus, COM
posed of members of the Episcopal
and Presbyterian choirs, has worked
hard and faithfully and is now ex-
pected to render this beautiful can
tata in truly impressive manner
Every effort has been put forth to
make it a thorough success and
Palm Sunday, the first Sunday be-
fore Easter, was selected as the
most appropriate time. The solo
lists will be soprano, Mesdames M

The Gross and Crown" is gen
orally considered one of the most
beautiful of E. l.. Ashford's com
positions. 1t is difficult, strong,
and vigorous work. composed of
thirteen numbers including chorus
es, quartetts and solos. The music
is of high standard and resem-
bles in many respects the celebrat
ed oratorio, "The Messiah" by Han
del. The cantata is divided into
two parts. "The Cross" and "The
Crown" of seven and six members
respectively. The first part presents
Chrlst's temptation in the wilder
ness, his later triumphal entry into
Jerusalem, the trial before Pontius
PLATE and qualification. One num-
Der of this part is particularly de-
serving of mention, a beautiful So
prano solo to be rendered by Mrs
Curtis. The second part, "The
Crown" presents the resurrection
with touching effect. OF this the
most beautiful number is the "Abide
With Me-" in which the chorus is
divided into eight parts and accom-
panied by soprano obligato

MUST LEVY TEN MILLS IN
ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS,
New Law Changes Apportionment
and Makes Levies Necessary
to Keep Schools Going.

The school code enacted by the
last legislature makes numerous al
teratlons in the school laws The
one that most directly concerns the
people is change in the manner of
apportloning the school funds which
makes 1t necessary for every district
IN the county to levy a ten mill spe-
clal tax, or lose one third of its ap-
portlonment. The code was drafted
by commission consisting of Profes
sor Slders of PocatellO, President
Black of the Lewiston State Normal
and former state superintendent, S.
belle Cham berlaln. 1t was sent to
the legislature accompanied by a spe
c1al message from the governor en-
dorslng the code and urging it's pas
sage 1T is very long document
and its full effect is just now begin
ming to be appreciated. 1t works to
the advantage of the very large and
very small districts, and against the
medium sized districts. Less than
half the districts in this county have
been levying any special tax at ALL
while others have been compelled to
make levy of nineteen mills. The
new law will equalize the burdens b
compelling all districts to make a
levy of at least ten mills, and few
will be compelled to make a greater
levy.
Under the old law one third of the
total school fund, not counting spe-
cial levies, was divided equally be-
tween the fifty districts of the coun-
ty, regardless of school population
or assed valuation This gave to
each district about 90ec -
had twenty children or 1000. The
new law divides two thirds of the
school funds among the several dis
trlcts upon per capita basis, Civ
ing to district containing 200 chill
dren twice as much as district hav
ing 100 children will receive. In or
der to get its part of the remaining
unapportioned third each district is
compelled to make levy of ten
mills. Should any district not be
able to conduct the minimum term O
school with the funds apportioned
plus the ten mill special levy, such
district or districts are given assist
ance from the remaining one third
of the general fund, and the balance
of such fund is then apportioned per
capita.
De'oSu oh last ) CARS Valuation ana
county levy, every school child in
the county, under the new basis, will
receive about 81. Under the old
it varied from IS to SIS, with the
district receiving only So per capita
levying a heavy tax, and the more
fortunate districts none at all.
County Superintendent Simpson af-
ter a careful investigation, sends out
d general warning to the trustees of
every district to make the required
ten mill levy. for the reason that
there is not district in the county
that can maintain an average term
without it.

PLANTING OF ORCHARDS
AN IMPORTANT NATTER
Trees Should Not Be Set Out in
Low Spots Where They Will Be
Saturated All the Time.

AS the time is fast approaching
when we will be setting out trees
and flowers, there are a few things
to which | wish to call the attention
of the public In going over the ir-
rigated district between American
Falls and Blackfoot | have seen sew
eral orchards set in low ground or
basins, with no drainage provided.
One orchard put out three years ago
did well the first season, but is all
dead now. In others set out year
ago water during wet periods has
stood around the trees several inche
deep. What will be the result?
Drowned out, plowed up and seeded
to grain or grasses. To set out an
orchards and have success you must
select ground with a free natural
drainage or provide one. Too much
water is as harmful as too little
Fruit trees will not do well with
their feet soaked In some instan-
ces l have seen the top as well as
the bottom under water
l believe more than ever thM the
orchard, as well as small fruit, is
going to be a winner on this project.
Win we set trees and give them the
proper care and cultivation, provid-
ing we give them good drainage, we
can confidently look forward to sue
cess. When the causes of failures
are examined they are nearly all the
lack of drainage, and | feel like CIV
ing a warning. Get your ground
ready, your ditch ready to turn on
the water, and provide bitches to
Dff
plant your trees, setting them in a
manner to irrigate easily, whether
the rows are on a straight line or
in a half circle. Then be careful
not to give them too much water
and stop irrigating early enough in
the season to let the wood ripen. |
relieve it is best to finish watering
about the goth to the 25th of July
in a young orchard. Then if the
ground is dry water just before the
beginning of freezing weather.
AS to manuring / believe the best
results are obtained by spreading
and plowing under, using care not
to get too close to the trees. | have
never seen any benefits in heaping
manure around the body of the tree
Thorough cultivation should always
be done, and weeds should not be
permitted to grow close to the
trees, in the uncultivated spots.
l have seen several orchards set
out just as the trees came from the
nursery. In many cases the trees
soon died Trees should always be
cut back or pruned. First prune the
roots, cutting all dead, bruised or
broken roots off with a thin, sharp
knife, then set in the ground about
two inches deeper than the trees
grew in the nursery, filling around
the roots with the best top soil. Cut
the tree to the desired height. With
care one can grow any kind of tree
desired. The new top can easily be
shaped by pruning to suit the ideal
of the grower. ! prefer low, open
tree, as it is more convenient to
spray and the lower the top of the
tree the cheaper the gathering OF
the crop when the tree becomes a
producer. In setting an orchard |
think a good yearling is better than
a two year old. Just good whip is
my choice. Head back to twenty
