State Game Warden

State Game Warden. o. II. Bar
ber of Twin Falls was removed
from his Office Saturday by Gov

aessor.
yhe governor assigned no rea
son fnr .he remOgai but Simply
notified Mr.. Barber of the fact
and directed him to turn over the
Office to his successor, Mr.. Cow
an.
So far as is known no fault has
been found with Mr. Barber's con
duct of the Office and the remov-
al has been made for political
reasons. The retiring game war
den is known to be opposed 10 lhe
denomination of the governor and
has not been backward in letting
his opinions be known.
The Office of state game warden
is one of the best political plums
in the gift of the governor and he
naturally feels that his appointee
10 the place should do no less
than give him his support for the
Ienomination and Barber vas
ousted because of his ant Haiucs
sentiments.
IL is said that this anti Haines
sentiment has been very strong
in the fish and game department
and that som of the subordinate
officers are likely to feel the axe
and follow their chief into retire

A large number of the people had

A large number went to Occur

large excursion, accompanied by
the band, leaving here on the
morning of the Fourth for that
purpose. Still others went down
the day before and others as
early as Thursday so st. Maries

COUNCIL VOTE A TIE
Recommend Two Voting Precincts
For City. Routine Business.

That the citizens of the Third
ward, comprising the Govern
ment Townsite, are not to have
street lights was the principal
thing decided at the council meet
ing last evening.
This achcn was taken arlcr
rather spirited discussion of the
question. 1t was presented by
for two lights on Center avenue
and two on Main avenue leading
form the city to the thickly set
tied portion of the Townsite and
two on Idaho avenue leading up
to the Townsite store. The prop
position was supported by Coun-
Gilman Trummel who moved that
the lights be installed.
II was opposed by Mayor Mul-
cahy on the ground of lack Of
funds and by Councilman Wun-
derrick who stated that practic-
ally all the money the city had
spent the past year had been
cent in the Townsite and they
rad not paid a cent of taxes and
that other portions Of the city
that paid taxes needed work done
Biteman in reply urged the
need and suggested that as the
report OF the police judge show
fines and costs during the past
month the duties of the chief Of
p'lice could not be at all arduous
aud that on hundred dollars a
month was too much salary to
pay hlm and that it might be cut
20 eightyhve dollars per month.
He offered to donat his salary Of
two dollars per month and as the
lights would only cost Si7.6O
per month this would only leave
sixty cents per month additional
lo be paid by the city.
I'm reply TO the statement that
the townsite had not paid any
city taxes, he said it was not
their fault bnt the fault of the
sily and that they had paid their
taNes TO the county instead Ci
