ASK FOR STORES TO
CLOSE AT 6 O'CLOCK

There is movement on FOOT
among the merchants and their
employees to change the time of
closing the stores from $3.50 10 g.
p. m. A petition providing for the
change has been circulated among
the merchants and we understand
that all but G. Spongberg signed it.
Most of the merchants are of the
opinion that the closing of the
stores a half hour earlier would not
inconvience the public to any ex-
tent, and that they would all do
just 10 much business as they have
been doing IN the past, for the peo-
pie would find il just as convenient
to get their shopping done by 8
o'clock az they do now at $50.
The change would be greatly APP
preciated by the clerks, and they
are sincerely hoping that the 6
o'clock closing hour will yet be es-
tablished.

BURRELL RETURNS
TO MONTPELIER

The Examiner is pleased to be
able to announce this week that
Montpelier can again claim X. A.
Burrell as one of it's substantial
business men Mr.. Burrelrs fre-
quent visits to the city of late
caused his friends to surmise that
they were not of purely personal
nature, aud soon after his arrival
in Montpelier last Friday he let it
be known that he and A +. Thiel
had closed the deal for the purchas e
of d. McLennan's stock of hard
wear, stoves, wall paper, etc., and
that they would take charge of the
business about the 18th of Feb.
Mr.. Thiel has resigned his posi-
ton with &. w. & NJ Co. and will
he personally associated with Mr.
b lrrell in the newly acquired busi-
hess.
Mr.. Burrell returned To Weiser
Sunday and will arrange his affairs
there so that he can get back here
in time to assist in taking All inven-
tory of the McLennsn stock before
the 18th of next month. His fam
lily will probably not join him here
for two or three months.
Neither of these two gentlemen
need any introduction TO the people
Bear Lake county. Both are cap
able business men and the Examin-
er has every reason to believe that
they will be accorded very liberal
share of the public patronage.
Mr.. McLeunan will be missed IN
Montpelier's business circles, and
although he says that he intends to
take life easy" from now on, We
would not be at all surprised to set
"Danc" back IN some line of busi
ness here before long.

WILL IMPROVE LOCAL
TELEPHONE SERVICE
District Manager Bolin Says the Local Exchange
will be Put in Good Condition and an Eff
fort Made to Give First-clasS Service.

ing the largest exchange in his dis
trict, Mr.. Bolin stated his time had
been largely taken up in straighten-
ing out matters there. Having
about completed that task he said
that he could now devote more time
to looking after the smaller ex-
changes in his district.
The company has re adjusted the
salaries of operators, increasing
them periodically. This method
Mr. Bolin believes will be an in
ducement for girls TO remain with
the company, and will naturally re-
suit in giving better service.
Mr.. Beatty, the new local man
ager, is practical telephone man of
a number of years experience, and
Mr.. Bolin expressed the belief that
after the local exchange has been
overhaul,d, he would be able 10
keep it in good order.
Mr.. Roberts, the retiring mahag-
er, has been offered position with
the company elsewhere in a differ
ent line Of work from that which
he had here, but he is at yet un-
dacidad uhathar ar not ha will aa-
cept it.

ASK GOVERNMENT
AID IN CO0D WORK

The latest move Of the North
west Development league is to ask
the federal government to collect,
publish in different languages and
distribute to foreigners as soon as
they arrive on our shores, all the
information possible about the
states having vacant lands, about
their products and the opportuni-
ties awaiting a family willing to
work and having only small means.
To accomplish this the League il

REVENUE MEASURE
PASSES THE HOUSE
Bill IS Substitute for the One Drawn the Gov
ernor's Commission, Although It Contains
Many Provisions Of Original Bill.

What is regarded as almost GER
tainly the next revenue law of Ida
no was given birth in the lower
house on Monday morning, when
house bill No. 81 was introduced
by Davis, johnson, Baldridge, Far
min and Black, says the Statesman.
The bill was at once referred to
the printing committee, and auto
matically under house resolution
was turned over to the committee
of l5 for consideration and recon-
mendation.
The bill, as introduced, was
drawn principally by Senator St.
CLAIR and Potts, who had the assist
ance of several members of the
house and others, and conforms
closely to the wishes of the joint
republican caucus, by which it was
considered on Saturday night.
Although there is a strong possl-
bility that Governor Hawley may
veto the bill when it reaches him, a
number of the members feel that
the governor will give it bis ap-
proval. 1t is pointed out that the
bill as drawn is iu no sense a parti-
san measure and that care has been
taken to incorporate the best of the
provisions of the McLane-Martin
measure, leaving out, however, all
suggestion relative to the creation
of tax commission, and that if the
vote on the passage of the bill
should show the determination of a
majority of the members of both
houses, the governor will approve
this measure as the best he can Sc
cure from the extra session.
The bill is in the nature of an
amendatory act to the general reve-
nue. laws of the state. The present
laws relating to taxation are taken
as basis, and amendments are
made to existing sections of the
statutes. Its purpose lie to relieve
conditions brought about curing
the past year by the action of the
governor IN attempting to force
full cash valuation of all property
for purposes of taxation, without
making the necessary changes ir
fixed levies and other laws. 1t ii
intended as a temporary relief
measure, and not general revision
of the revenue laws of the state
and always bearing this end in view
its authors have refrained from
amending any provisions of th'
present laws except where chang

WANT ]. M. HAlNES
FOR GOVERNOR

Boise, Jan. 24.-The Haines
boom had its inception last night
at a meeting of his supporters at
which time an organization was afc
fected under the name of the
"Haines Republican club" the OBJ
ject of which, as outlined in the
resolutions unanimously adopted, is
'sto further the interests of the Re-
publican party of Idaho and to pro-
mote and assist the candidacy of
John M. Halnes of Boise, for the
office of governor on the Republ-
can ticket at the forthcoming state
election.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, that the name of this
organization be 'erhe Haines Re.
publican Club"
That it's object be to further the
interests of the Republican party of
the state of Idaho, and to promote
and assist the candidacy of John M.
Haines of Boise for The office of
governor on the Republican ticket.
That we commend the candidacy
of Mr.. Haines TO the voters of Ida
no because we believe he possesses
The qualifications necessary TO en-
able him to give the state an agress-
i've, businesslike, economical admin.
lstration conducted on broad prin.
cipals for the progress and welfare
OF our state.
A well known republican who IL
identified with the Haines forces, IT
discussing the movement, said;
ssThe organizing Of this club Is
simply the crystalizing of rapidly
growing sentiment in favor of Mr..
Haines' candidacy for governor.
Ills friends believe the time is ripe
To put forth strong effort in hit
behalf, and they are going into tn.
fight with vim and enthusiasm.
"Mr. Haines is well acqualned
Lhrnout the state. He is one OF
the most successful business men il
southern Idaho, and has reputa
tion for being able to do things in ;
forceful, masterful, result-gettinl
manner. Idaho needs just such ;
man at the helm-a strong, honest
capable man. 1t needs the kind o
an administration that he is able Il
give it.

stay, and | predict that his entranc
in the field will be welcomed b,

II the mean velocity of the water IN

rule for measuring the flow of water
in an open channel is as follows:
Measure the cross-section of the chan
mel in square feet (the section from
the surface of the water DOWN, and
multiply the number of square feet
by the mean velocity Of the water in
feet per second. The product obtain
ed will be the discharge in cubic feet
per second. After one has had much
experience in measuring the flow of
water in streams one can estimate
very closely the quantity of water
| flowing, just MS stockman can es-
innate very closely the weight of
horses or cattle.
The quantity of power which can
be obtained from a stream TIVE are
considering the greatest possible
quantity) depends on two conditions
only. One of these conditions is the
vertical distance through which the
condition is the number of second feet
available in the stream at the point
where the water is diverted. As is
generally known the water is usually
diverted from the stream into cana
or hume having sufficient slope t.
give the water velocity of from two
to five feet per second. This channel
may be of any length desired, thu
limiting conditions being the typog-
raphy of the country, the power to
be developed. the economy to he prac.
ticed in developing the proposition
etc. At the lower end of this channe
the water is diverted into a pipe line
or penstock, through which it is car.
ried on slope as steep as possible tt
the power station below. In making
water power calculations the vertica
drop or distance through which the
water passes is always used, and not
the distance measured along the Slope
upon which the pipe line or penstoci
is laid. Suppose pipe line 600 fee
! in length is lying upon a uniform
, slope of 30 degrees with the horizon.
tai The available head is then 80,
, feet, as this is the vertical distanc,
, from the power station to a poin
having the same elevation as the in
. take of the pipe line. For giver
length of pipe the head available de
! pends upon the steepness of the slop
: upon which the pipe is installed.
