"Man wants but little here below
An adage we have met.
But, still, we have not found it so,
For nearly all the men we know
Want all that they can get.

He has, he longs@for more.

While the property value Of the
block of land adjoining the high school
is such that the city could no doubt
make money, purchasing it IS a city
park, yet there are several other ne ds
Of the city, that would tend to increase
property values within the corporate
limits sufficiently to enatle the town
to buy park fer speculative purpos-
es at some future date. Among the
things needed badly is street paving.
There are five blocks on Main, one on
West Pacific, from three to four on
Taylor and from three to six on West
Bridge streets that could be paved with
impunity or some good paving material.
aside from intentions which are said
not to last, and in the paving, add
thousands of dollars to the value of the
abutting property and to the property
Of the town in general. Another ex-
penditure fer which money could be
spent is small piece of ground very
near the center Of the business dis
trict to be used as public hitching
ground fer visitors who drive to the
city. This would do away with the
hitching racks and their attending bad
summer smells. Yes, we can get along
very nicely with the unused city park
we now have. Let us have something

VILE LOCATE IN
STERLING COUNTRY

Last Saturday the Moreland-A Aber-
deem train took down car Of farm
ing Implements and fifteen head OF
thoroughbred draft horses for farming
purposes. There was with this car
four men from American Fork, Utah,
w. H. Gardner, J. w. Herbert. A. w.
Gardner and l. r. Vance, all OF whom
will locate near Sterling. J. w. Her.
bert has been in the country for about
one wear and was instrumental IN get
ting the other gentlemen here. In
talking with representative OF this
country about Bingham county, tney
said they had left the best part OF
Utah to come to Idaho. and this Sec
ton appeals to them as being the
most productive region they had seen'
in the west. The four men are big
stalwart, substantial farmers. Win
pleasing personalities are the type OF
manhood that Idaho or any other new
country needs.

HE WAS A CHEAP SKATE

A Denver jewelry man was in Black
foot recently, and had a vest pocket
pouch In which he carried $4,000
worth Of diamonds. During his visit
he had shown them to local jewler,
and the latter wanted to look at them
the next morning. When the jew.er,
Mr.. Christ, asked to see them again,
the man felt in the accustomed place
but remembered that he had put the
pouch under his pillow the night be-
fore in a room at the Commercial ho-
tel He tore wildly to his room and
found the chamber maid had plucked
ed the pouch and was looking for the
owner. With great rejoicing over the
recovery Of his valuables he thanked
the girl. presented her with two twen-
tyfive cent boxes Of candy, and closed
the incident. The same man was
touched In Salt Lake by q girl Of the
frivolous class some time ago and rol-
led for q nice bunch.
