Evans May Get Busy.

There is said to be Just a possibility
that Owner Evans of the Boise club
may endeavor to get back part of the
deficit he suffered this season and put
a club in here for the balance of Au-
gust and September. Evans owns the
franchise, park and players and can
take any risk that he likes.
In face of the fact that the Butte
Chamber of Commerce was said to be
back of the Butte club and assurances
were given that all the money neces-
sary to finance the club for the season
was on hand, Butte has turned the
same trick history has shown 1t to do
in the past, given its club practically
no support. Larry Duggan reported to
be financially back of the club, left on a
vacation for Michigan just before
Ducky Holmes and his tribe appeared
at Butte this week and has not been
heard from. The players held an indig-
nation meeting and called on Duggan
to meet their salaries for a month.
Then they made an appeal to President
Murphy to pay them out of the league
treasury. Murphy said that there was
not even left the $1,000 forfeit posted by
Butte as part of that was used to
meet the pro rata assessment to meet
Murrays debts and other obligations of

4 Important steps were taken b.
the city council at its regular meet
ing ON Monday evening OF this week
The most important and one thar

most is the plan for securing pure

Sometime ago this was put up to
the water committee and after max

the general conditions the committed
reported at the Monday evening meet.
ing as follows:
"The proposed water filtration
system being referred TO the water
committee at the last regular meet
ing to report at the next regular meet
ing. We, after having gone carefully
over the matter very thoroughly, be-
lieye that If Payette ever gets pure,
clear water, it viii have TO resort to
the same plan that other cites are
adopting and install a mechanical i'll
ter and we recommend that an elec-
ton be called and this question be
submitted to the people
We also recommend a direct line
to the reservoir for the purpose of
lessening pumping expenses and also
securing a reduction in Insurance
rates.
The two propositions viii cost close
to $4,000. $4,000 for the filtration
plant and building to house same and
$4,000 for the direct line.
We would advise that these two
propositions be submitted TO the peo-
pie separately, and that they be
given all publicity possible.

The report was unanimously approx I
I'd by the council and the necessary
steps viii be taken 20 get this i'm
'ortant matter before the people as
'oon as possible
With the new pumping plant an
'mple supply of water IS obtainable
md during part of the year is very
lear but everyone knows what It IS
Ike at certain seasons Of the year.
This can only be remedied by a me-
hanical filtration system.
The direct pipe line to the reservoir
ot only means lessening OF pump
ng expenses but the members of tie
ouncl have it on good authority that
would mean at least a twenty-five Z
er cent reduction in insurance rates. i
There has probably been more COM

omplaint made by them of muddy Z
