/ tice of intention to purchase or
plant, or whether that right will be
allowed to go by default and the life
of the franchise extended another 10
years, will come up for discussion and
settlement.
From the standpoint of public pol
icy and the welfare of the community,
The Index is strongly in favor of
municipal ownership of all public util
tiles, provided the management be
kept out of politics and the tenure of
office of those employed to conduct
such works be governed by civil SER
vice rules instead of being at the beck
and call of every change of admins
tration or the patronage of some
official.
Municipal ownership is no longer
theoretical; it is practical and success
full as proved by results in over
1000 cities-large and small-in this
country. The success of the water
works system in our own city is an
example with which all are, or should
be, familiar Pure water is being fur
nished at reasonable rates and the
plant is on a paying basis. Still
lower rates will result in proportion
as more general use is made of the
water. And the beauty of it all is
that the money received from water
rentals is kept at home instead of be-
ing sent to some foreign corporation.
We can see no reason why the same, /
or even better, results cannot be OBJ /
tanned by the city's owning its own (
lighting system. A committee ap-
pointed by the Commercial Club nave
made very thorough study of the
subject and are confident that lights /
can be furnished much more cheaply I
than at present and at the same time
furnish to the city street lights and
power for the waterworks pumping
station free. The saving on these
two items would not only pay per
cent interest on $4,000, but would
create sinking fund sufficient to pay
off the principal in 20 years.
The city is paying every month for
21 arc lights the sum of S122.50. For
power an average per month of $50.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1913-06-12


come. Without power plant of its
own, would the city be at the mercy
of power companies in regard to
rates as fully as at present? And
would the city in that case be able to
secure rates sufficiently low to make
municipal ownership profitable?
The Index throws out these sug-
gestions and statements with view
Of opening up for discussion this
very important question. The mayor
and city council are desirous of taking
such action as will meet with the ap-
proyal of their constituents as well as
be for the best interests of the city,
and they will welcome an expression
from the people on both sides of the
question.
The Index will be pleased to pub
lish communications from anyone on
this subject. Make your articles as
short and concise as possible and
sign your names The names will not
be published if that be the desire of
the writer's.

MORE RAILROAD DOPE.
Extension of Idaho Northern to Lew
iston Predicted.

I The word has been dropped, presum
ably by some one connected with the
project, that it is quite probable the
Oregon Short Line Railroad will ex-
tend its road to the timber holdings of
A. w. Cook and the Payette Lum-
Der company in Meadows Valley.
Thence down the Little Salmon River
to the main Salmon and on to con-
nection with the Milwaukee railroad
now building to Lewiston and with
the Hill system of railroads The line
will pass through Meadows Valley
from south to north and enable the
large timber interests here to put at
once in operation the largest mill
ing plants in the state.
A delegation of Oregon Short Line
officials, including Chief Engineer
Stradley, General Freight Agent
Reeves, Purchasing Agent Robinson
and others whose names and Offices
we did not learn, visited Long Valley
and Mccall last week in the interest
of the extension of their road to Me
Call. A half dozen of the gentlemen
came on to Meadows in an automobile
Sunday. They say that work will be
pushed with vigor from now on until
the dewey" line is completed and
expect to have trains running into Nc

FALK DRAINAGE DISTRICT
Petitions viii Soon be Presented for
Creation of District.

The ranchers in the Falk neighbor-
hold have nearly completed the pre-
liminary work necessary in order to
present their petition to the district
court, praying for the creation of a
drainage district. The petition will
have the signature of approximately
S5 per cent of the land owners in the
proposed district.
Maps showing the boundaries of the
district and the course of the canals
are being made under the supervi-
sion of Mr. Sloan, the government
drainage expert. The maps will show
10,400 acres in the district. The cost
of putting in the work will not ex-
ceed $10.50 per acre.

BIG GAME POSTPONED
bit and Leans VIII Play Monday of
Next Week.

The Index's wireless wires were

d Jupiter Pluvius to find out why

knyway, he wept copiously, and the

by afternon at A O'Clock.
But it was too late to call the bali
bet off. The highballs had been
liked in a vat, the chickens were

lred, and the trimmings were all
ady for the big feed And it was
dandy Mr.. and Mrs. Emery prov

There was only one incident to mar

which side would have to pay the

The two teams had as guests the

June Drop Is Here.

What is known to fruit growers
as the "June drop" is taking place
and the weaklings and undersized
peaches are being sloughed off. Still,
in many cases, the crop is too large
and the orchardist must now poll nff
sufficient so that the branches will be
able to bear up under the weight of
the fruit when it reaches its full
size. Peaches won't make much
growth for two or three weeks, be-
cause all the strength of the tree is
now going into the peach pits to hard
en- them.

WANT SCHOOLHOUSE IN
SAND HOLLOW
School Board Petitioned to Pro-
vide Buildings and
Teacher.

Complaining of the distance which
their children must travel in order to
attend school, residents of Sand Hol-
low, east of town, appeared before
the school board Monday evening and
requested that the board build schol-
house in their neighborhood, furnish
1t and provide a teacher for next
years work
According to Mr.. Cone, who was
the spokesman, there are three fam
lies in Sand Hollow who have II
children of school age The distance
to the nearest school building is a.
bout five miles, and as the children are
small it is impossible for them to ira
vel that far. Besides Mr. Cones fam
lily, there are those of Charles B.
Malmstrom and another gentleman
whose name was not learned The i'm
provements prayed. for will cost
about $500 and the teachers wages
IS estimated at SIS per month. Ow-
ing to the financial condition of this
school district, the board cannot see
its way to grant the requests of the
petitioners, but have under considera-
tion this proposition: To pay rent
on house in town in which children
may live, and furnish coal to heat it,
provided the parents will furnish the
house and board the children. The
expense to the district would be about
S175 for nine months. The Bull
school board has adopted this plan
for isolated families and have found
it satisfactory.

Take an Easy Game from Metho-
dists-Tuesdays Game
Postponed.
Standing of Clubs.

High School only one game below the
Methodists.
The game was loosely played and
abounded with errors. There were
a few thrills, and Laurel Wells fur
nished them with his trusty bat. Lin
gren, pitching for theHigh School,
twirled good ball, although a little
wild at times. He was given seven
strikeeuts and allowed six safe hits,
three of them being two-baggers. Wo-
mack for the Methodists was easy
pickings, II hits being made off his
delivery, and he famed five. Wells
had the heavy stick against Womack.
He made a home run, two three-bag
gers and single in four times up.
But the game was an exciting one,
despite the poor playing of both
teams. 1t was hard to tell which
side would have the most scores after
each inning The High School scored
in every inning except the second.
The Methodists were given goose eggs
in three innings.
