ATHLETICS.
Basket ball practice was moved last
week from the out door court at the
school grounds to the opera honse,
which has been secured for that
purpose. PREPARATION for the games
that will soon come, is now the pro-
gram. To date, two games have
been scheduled with each Of the
teams Dodgeville, Fennimore. and
Potosi. The first game of the season
will be played at Potosi, Dec. 12
Last year in connection with the
use OF the opera house, many serious
abuses arose. decidedly annoying to
the other people in the same building.
Much of this distur bance was caused
by the people who came to the hall,
estensibly to watch the practice, but
who usually created an unnecessary
amount of disorder and confusion.
Rules for preventing similar condi-
tions this fail have been announced
and discussed in the high school,
and will be posted in the opera house.
But, as not a little Of the trouble
originated with persons outside the

THE SCHOOL PROGRAMS.
The Rev. Mr.. Munday of the
Episcop'l church gave an excellent
talk before the assembly of the high
school last Wednesday morning. The
theme of the address was that, as,
more than all else, we have the pro-
gress of the last 200 years to be thank
full for, we owe it to posterity 200
years from now, to increase and con-
tinue this progress by careful training
of ourselves.
The Thanksgiving program given
last Wednesday afternoon in the ninth
grade room by the pupils of the North
School was we'll attended, nearly
seventy visitors being present
All of the pupils did we'll with
theit parts aud entered into the spirit
of the occasion with enthusiasm.
The play given by Miss Bunker's
seventh and eighth grade pupils. and
the games, plays, songs. and drills
rendered by the children from the
rooms of Miss Lathrop, Miss Sho-
walter, and Miss Oswald, were we'll
received. Each number showed that
time aud patience had been spent in
drilling the children for their parts.
The ninth grade pupils furnished
good musical selections and recitations.
The teachers of the North School
appreciate the interest that the public
manifested by their attendance.
At the South School, the children
of the intermediate and grammar
grades met together for short pro-
gram of Thanksgiving nature. A
play by the upper grade pupils was
we'll given and greatly enjoyed; the
intermediate department contributed
their share by singing. All the
primary grades also united for some
short appropriate exercises of various
kinds.

The Cat Ordinance.

Mayor Cummings is insisting on
cats paying tax. and it is quite likely
that an ordinance with that object in
view will be introduced at the next
regular meeting. And the mayor
presented several logical reasons for
his contention, in that cats are di-
sease disseminators and dangerous to
the health of household, especially
small children; that they are chicken
killers, disturbers of the slumbers of
citizens and general nuisances. The
Index agrees with the mayor and will
stay with him till the hot place
freezes over. This is no joking matter
If our memory serves faithfully, Kan
sas has statewide law taxing cats;
and didn't London, the largest city in
the world and the citadel of conser-
vatism, enact cat and mouse law not
so very long ago? Sure. But we
opine that the official whose duty it
may be to either collect such tax or
see that Mrs. Tabbycat of Mr.. Thorn
ascat, as the case may be, pass hence
Immediately, will have strenuous
and exciting time and one that will
add to the gayety of life during the
dull winter months.

curing owners of property abutttlng
on streets and alleys in sewer district

"Resolved, That committee be
appointed to investigate the city's IT,

owners of property abutting upon

WORK PLANNED FOR
CANYON CANAL
Another Wooden Flume to Come
Out-New Siphon to
be Built.

The board of directors of the Can
yon canal have determined upon the
improvements necessary to be made
on the system this season. the Super
intendent w. H. Sissler is making
preparations to handle the work.
Camps are being established at Black
canyon and at the fume on the Pow
ell ranch, and buildings for men and
sheds for horses are being built un-
der the directions of Foreman Cyrus
Wolfe.
The improvements contemplated
this winter consist of the following:
Retimbering of the tunnel at Plow-
mans.
Tearing out of the 13OO-foot flurne
at the Powell ranch and replacing it
with an earth and cement ditch.
Building new siphon to convey wat
er to the south side at Black canyon.
The pipe will be 40 inches in diameter,
inside measurement. 1t will be 1900
feet in length and will be placed on
steel supports resting on cement
piers, instead of being swung on ca
bles as heretofore
There will be of course, many other
of a smaller character,
but those given above will comprise
the big undertakings.

Nearing the Lakes.


The Nampa Record has the follow
ing to say of progress of the railroad
work in Long Valley:
"The Idaho Northern track layers
have crossed the bridge at Gold Fork,
and are now pushing on toward the
Lake Fork crossing a distance of six
miles. This latter point, which is II
miles from Mccall on Payette Lake,
35 miles north of Smiths Ferry and
118 miles north of Nampa, it is be-
lieved will be the end of the track un-
til spring. There was fall of snow
the first of the week, but it was taken
off by rain. An earth slide above
Banks delayed trains few hours but
the track has since been clear. A
new time card went into effect Mon
day which does away with the change
at Montour Trains now run through
from Nampa to Smiths Ferry. The
depot and section building at Cascade,
16 miles above Smiths Ferry will be
completed in about two weeks. 1t is
that the line will be taken
over by the operating department of
the Short Line as far as Cascade, the
latter part of the month, thus making
that place the terminus instead of
Smiths Ferry. The water station at
Belvidere II miles north of Smiths
Ferry is well under way, and the large
force ballasting track are up to the
tracklayers."

BUYS Pedigreed Calf.

Lewis L. Alsager last week bought
thoroughbred Red Polled bull calf
at Caldwell, and thus introduces a
breed new to this locality. The ami
NAL is fine one and is registered. 1t
took the first premium at the Boise
fair. Mr.. Alsager paid 500 for it.
He is the type of farmer boy that will
make good. Like the two Vahlberg
boys and the Fest boys, he believes in
good stock, and he, like his colleagues,
will find it pays.
