bORAH BILL RE.
PORTED TO SENATE

The senate public land committee
has favorably reported Senator Be-
rah's bill amending the three-year
homestead law by providing that in
lieu OF the cultivation now required,
the homesteader may get title after
three years residence by showing
Improvements on his land to the ex-
tent of 5l50 for each acre. The re-
port was unanimous and Senator b.
rah experts the bill to pass the SEN
ate at this session, though in the
house it probably will have to wait
until next winter, when general legis-
lation is taken up. The committee
also favorably reported the Pittmar

farm homesteads in all states where
the dry farm law applies, provided
the entryman can show the land doe:

TRUE TALE WITH
A TRUER MORAL

A man entered shop one bitter
cold day and bought a wooden muf-
fer. When he opened the muffler
he found inside the photograph OF
beautiful girl, together with a note
saying:
"!f you are single please write to
me-"
A name and address followed, the
man smiled. He was single and he
put the photograph on his sitting
room mantle. There, every evening
looking up from his book, he beheid
it. 1t was very beautiful, and in a
week he had fallen head over heels
in love.
So he wrote the girl. Another week
passed, week of anxious, nerve
racking suspense. Then the lovesick
man received this crushing letter:
"Sir:-
"The Mary Smith to whom yor
wrote was my grandmother. She died
nine years ago. Age 86.
"Yours truly"
The heartbroken bachelor on look
ing into the matter, found that HI
had foolishly bought the mufhe
from a dealer who din)t advertise

nestle science which should be hail
ed as great opportunity by all who
are interested in housekeeping. The
course continues for Is weeks, the
price for the same being only 5000,
with all kitchen equipment and work
ing materials furnished. This is by
no means money-making scheme on
the part of the college, as the low
tuition indicates. but is a splendid Of
fer for atllhose interested. Two
classes of IL each are desired as only
that number can be accommodated,
so applications should be filed at once
by those who want to take advantage
of this unusual offer. This work is
taken up by the Hounsehold Eco
nomic committee of the Forward

conducted by Miss Margaret Nichol

city COUNCIL in
REGULAR session

Council met Monday night for the
usual regular monthly meeting, with
iii councilmen present. After read
mo The minutes and prevail of, a rep
tentative of the S. F. Bowser COM
nanv of Fort Wayne, Ind, was in
reduced in order that he might ex-
o1,;n and demonstrate to the council
he various kinds of pumps for use
IN connection with the fire engine
and road roller. The pumps ranged
a. nr;ce from $45 to $1Oo. The mat
Ter was referred to the Street Com
m;ttee. who will probably buy one OF
the machines, which, badly needed
and would be invaluable in case of a
big fire. e .., .u
followed and were approved.
VIII Sue the City
The bills of Attorneys Stone and
Wallace, referred last month to the
Finance Committee, were brought
IN with a recommendation that the
money be divided, SIS to each. This
was carried, but Parker announced
that Wallace would not accept any
thing less than the full amount of
his Claim, $4s, and thereupon, upon
motion of Parker, both bills were
turned down in toto.
Insurance Divided
The matter of insurance came up
and it developed that the insurance
men all wanted finger in the pie
and nine policies with as many
agents for $1,000 each were approved
This left thousand dollars and that
was awarded to the Fisk Realty Co.
The semi-annual report of the Fire
department, the annual report of the
librarian, and the usual monthly re-
ports of the city officers were read
and approved.
Beaver Too High
The Beaver Power Company sent
pumping plant. An analysis of the
bid, showed that at the minimum
charge of dollar month per horse
horsepower the city would pay about
forty-6ve dollars to this company a
month whether the power was used
or not, and the council thought this
exorbitant. The bid was rejected.
Must Put in Walks
The matter of cement sidewalks
that had been ordered in by pre-
vious council came up and the Street
Commissioner was instructed to look
into the matter and have the walks
laid.
The Assessed Valuation
Councilman Adams brought up the
matter of the assessed valuation OF
the city. It was stated that accord
ing to the County Assessors figures.
the city was now assessed $l79.ZZ5
higher than Nampa.l The council
thought that the figures were too
high and will visit the board of
equalization in a body to see what
can be done about it.
Commissioner Beatty reported that
the city was out Of wood piping and
stated that it is imperative that a
carload be ordered at once. The
matter was referred to the water
committe with power to act.
Kellar Wants Increase of Pay
F. L. Kellar, who attends to the
city sprinkling, asked for an increase
in salary He stated that he is fur
nishing his own horses and feed and
shooting for thirty cents an hour and
claimed that the amount is not living
wage. The council decided to cal
for bids for city sprinkling.

at Homosassa and Is only in OcaIa ia

in my opinion, needs TO be increased or
else have some one to inspect the cars

Therefore. I recommend that the At

ed to keep cars and toilets in said cars

1 further recommend that car No.

taken off, and that car No. 10, on said

white passengers. be used for the col
ored coach. and that better and more
modern coach be put on for the white

I further recommend that sufficient
crew of car cleaners be Installed to
keep these cars in better condition
than they have been kept in the past
and that closer watch De kept on said
crew in order to see that they are per-
forming their duty as it should be.
