HORSEMEN WANT TRACK,

Hamilton, March 4.-(Special)-A
number of local horsemen and enthusi-
asts or the racetrack met yesterday
afternoon to consider plans for rain
ing for the races at the Ravalli county
air next fall. A committee composed
or DR.. Weilner, Archie McKillop and
Ike Wyiie was appointed to wait upon
the board of county commissioners to
petition that body to secure the DAILY
racetrack early in the season so that
horsemen, expecting to compete at the
races, may be able to get their horses
on the track early. In the past it has
been the custom to secure the round
Tote IN the summer, with the result that
the track was not put into shape for
speeding unil a few weeks before the
opening of the fair.

BUSY SESSION HELD
BY COUNCIL
STEVENSvlLLE FATHERS DIS
CUSS MANY MATTERS OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE.

a~Stevensville, March 4.-(Specia1.)-
The city dads met in regular session
last night and after laboring until
close to the midnight hour adjourned
to meet again next Monday night. The
flfSt matter to come before the body
was the auditing of the current bills
and this business was dispatched in
a short time. The report of the water
commissioner was received and favor-
ably adopted. However, in the report
it was noticed that not a few of the
MIGRANTS are frozen and have been in
that condition since the first month
of winter. In some instances the hy-
drants that had escaped the frost up
to the present time. We're just now
taking on a n%otional streak and had
the balmy air of spring was becoming
the most noticeable. According to the
water works superintendent, the rea-
son was that the frost followed a
strata of rock in zig gag direction, a
distance of anywhere from two to %
feet and in its itinerary invariably hit
the water pipe somewhere.
The city dumping grounds was next
brought to the attention of the coun-
Gil and it was ordered that a gate be
erected at the road leading through
the Lockridge property in order to use
a ~right-of-way to the grounds.
A communication was read from
Joseph Hunter who requested a reduce
ton in the license for operating a
moving picture show. The city clerk
was instructed to communicate with
other cities ofa size of sStevensville
in order to learn of the cost of licenses
in other places before acting on Mr..
Hunters request. Much discussion
was had in regard to the moving of
one of the hose carts of the fire ap-
p~aratus to a new location. 1t appears
that in the present location both carts
are in danger of fire themselves and
the object of moving one was to keep
n of the pieces of fire apparatus out
of danger of the fire zone as much as
possible. The matter was deferred"
until next Monday night to permit Of
an examination Of the proposed new
location.
The next matter to be taken up was
in reference to the street lighting.
The new type of lamp that has been
demonstrating the worth of a good
lamp on the corner of Main n Third
street for the past month, was dis
cussed but it was discovered that it is
not to be within the pleasure, mean
and confines of Stevensville to afford
this quality of light.
John Mclaughlin addressed the
council calling attention to the made
quate methods employed for draining
the surplus water from the streets
and as a result of his address the
council ordered the street and alley
committee to get busy with the over
flowing water problem. Next, the
boys under age came in for a share
of the discussion and after referring
to the book of ordinances, the city
was instructed to enforce
rigidly the curfeW ordinance. A des-
peratc attempt was made to raise

Jacob Secrest thus earned, by his
judgment and labor, $500 per acre.
Besides, the land that he kept for
himself had increased in value, being
worth $12, 1000.
He is now living in a big house on
twenty-five acres that he reserved for
himself.
The trees seer in the picture are
two years old. When you come over
to Moses Lake, go and see these two
year-old trees. If you have any ex-
perience in orcharding, you will de-
clare, as have expert observers from
elsewhere, that this is a most remark
able growth.
The growth is remarkable because
nature has provided in the soil, eli
mate and altitude of Moses Lake re-
markable conditions for the produc-
ton of apples.
You can buy land adjoining Sc
c~rest's. and just like his was when he
bought it for $3.50 an acre.
You can cultivate it for a season or
two, after which it will be worth $500
of any mans money.
Do just like Secrest did. Buy a
forty-acre tract in the sale Of farm
