HOME FROM BOISE.
Representative Bower Made Excel
lent Record in Special Session.

V. V. Bower and family returned
this week from Boise, where Mr.
Bower had been in attendance at
the special session of the legisla-
ture. Mr.. Bower was one of the
insurgents who held out for a tax
commission, and practically forced
the matter to an issue on its mer-
it's. Close, impartial observers have
pretty well agreed that there is no
credit coming to the governor, or
to the democratic or the republican
organizations for whatever was done
and they will also have to admit as
fact that the insurgents, for var
ious reasons that are hard to under
stand in figuring out other mems
minds, failed to put the tax commits
sion through But they did get
away with every bit of real credit
due anyone connected with the ex-
ira session, and Mr.. Bower was the
high man in starting the movement.
1t is with pleasure that the Re
corder credits him with being one
of the best men for the real inter-
ests of the people, of any member
in the whole legislature.

SCHOOL MIX-UP.
Whole Board of Directors Lived
Outside Their District.


An interesting story comes down
from a school district northeast of
Richfield, in which Richfield came
near having a considerable part.
1t appears that the school direct
ors hired a teacher several months
ago, and she had been drawing her
pay and performing the duties of
her office with complete success. A
purely local moment, and the direct
disagreement arose, over a subject OF
ors picked out another teacher to fill
the place. They made out the last
warrant for the first teacher, and
asked her to accept it and make
way for her successor 1t is not
of record that she rejected the war
rant; but she did take the matter Of
her contract to the county supcrin-
tendent And here iswhat she found
None of the directors lived within
the district they were supposed tc
serve, the line WASH WutiS NhSS
had thought it was They had no
authority to contract for teacher
and of course none to fire one. For
months the teacher had drawn her
warrants without legal right, for
she was not legally hired to teach
the school However. she had de-
livered the goods to the district, to
the eminent satisfasticn of the pu
pills and their parents; and it is a
fair supposition that the money was
spent where there would be no come
back The county superintendent
appointed directors who actually
reside within the district, and the
dove of peace sings her lullaby over
the scene of the near-war.
Richfield came this near to being
interested, that the old board Of di-
rectors lived in this district.

leave. In social and in business
ways. they have been the foremost
in the community, and no place
ever had one-half enough people OF
their type of ability and enterprise.
That they take with them the good
wishes of a host of friends goes
without saying.
Mr.. H. E. Essley, who has been
with the company for TWO years as
assistant secretary, is to take up the
work of general manager, assisted
bv M. R. Kays, chief engineer. The
two gentlemen have become ntirely
familiar with the conditions here,
and they will be well qualified to go
on with the company policies as If
they had always been in charge 1t
