the Majestic theater, have brought
considerable local fame 10 Jean de

built and painted the settings. Mr.
de Caussin painted the curtains In
the Detroit opera house and the Cad

built and painted the b. c. Whitney
road productions.
The lighting effects ere achieved
through eight lamps operated by In
dividuai motors, each lamp having
several colored slides which rotate
in front OF the lenses All these
motors and coiors had to be regi-
lated so that the rainbow effect de-
sired could be secured. without spoil

stage and the theater. The work Of
building and painting the stage set
ting required more than two months.

AGED PIONEER PASSES

Mrs. Ben Muir, of Wapello, lost
her father by death recently at San
Francisco. His name was James
Piper Barnes, and was a son of Bug
Ter George w.. Barnes, who was at
the front during the Battle of the
Thames in the war of 1912 and at
a critical time in the conflict was
told to sound the retreat and delib-
erately sounded the charge. His dis
obedience turned defeat into victory
and his commander was generous
enough to spare him from punish
ment. The son who just died was
one of the early residents of Montana
and engaged in gold mining at Hele-
ma and other places. He served as
receiver of the Lewiston land office
from 1894 to 1898, and was elected
mayor of Lewiston in 1899.

Monday to consider bids on the erec-
tion of a room over the treasury.
The job was let to R. A. Palmer and
the upper room is to be for the court
stenographer.
After the meeting Chairman Bond
took them out in his car to look over
the work being done by contractor
whose business it is to finish the road
SO the state highway commission will
receive and maintain it. Mr.. Bond
had been looking it over and was dis
satisfied with it. When the whole
board examined it they were all dis
satisfied. The work costs $3.50 a
mile and the old board made con-
tract with the Phelps construction
company of Weiser, Idaho, binding
this county for about 26 miles of it..
board after looking over the COM
pleted part expressed the opinion that
it is in worse condition than it was
before, but this may be on account
cf the mud. One of them said he
would be willing to do the work for
$50 mile, and anexamination of the
vouchers on file at the court house
will show that considerable money
has been expended on the work by
the county since the contract was let,
and no allowance is made for deduct
ing that from the contract price. In
other words, the board made a con-
tract in June, 1913, to have certain
work done, and gave the parties two
years in which to do it. During the
two years they kept paying bills for
making the repairs called for in the
contract, and now the contractor is
completing the job at full contract
price. The commissioners are very
much annoyed about it.
Chairman Bond went out last week
to look over the roads leading to
Chesterfield, Graves creek and the
reservoir, and reports that the most
feasible route is via Ft. Hall on Lin
coin creek, take the Mt. Putnam road
and cross the range to the Port
Neuf ricer on the Chesterfield road.
The other route over the range
via Cold creek and across the
range to Spring creek he did not
consider so good winter road and
would be subject to constant damage
by washouts. The principal expense
for getting the road in condition for
travel will be the sand belts between
Blackfoot and Lincoln creek.
Mr.. Bond reported that all of Grave
creek is taken up by settlers, and
most of the other valley lands not in.
cluded in the reservation. Fifteen
years ago only the best lands along
the Port Neuf had been taken AMI
settlers were abandoning some oi
them, but now they are taking every
thing.

combing of every matter, that every
thing that developed in the way Of
campaign differences was fought out

expressions at adjournment indicated
that all differences were buried and
ready to be forgotten. When the
gavel finally fell for adjournment it

THE CITY BUSLNESS----k
LONG SESSION; PLRTY FUN

At the meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening all members and the
city attorney were present.
Cannery Must Pay
The application of the cannery for
permission to connect with the sewer
main was reported upon by Chairman
W. F. Bergman, who said 1t was con-
trary to the ordinance governing the
sewer to allow anyone to connect
with the main, and that the cannery
being outside of the city limits, 1t
would be unjust to the taxpayers to
give them service free. That II they
paid the same pro rata of value as
others do on their property it would
be 10 per cent fthe value of their
property, required to cover bonds,
interest and maintenance up to the
time the sewer bonds are paid off, or
$1,000 from the cannery for the per-
iod. The council approved the re-
port.
The council ordered tnaE the COM
mittee on law and order draw an
ordinance regarding automatic base
ball.
Report ON Printing Bill
The city attorney reported upon
the legality of Byrd Trego's bill for
publishing the official ballot, that
there is no law governing the publi-
cation of the ballot. The committee
having the bill in charge reported
that $23 of it was for printing and
$3.50 was for publication of the ba'-;
lot. That they proposed paying all
of the first item and 40 per cent Of
thss5 ether.
Trego and Council Differ
Mr.. Trego said he would accept
the $23 in settlement of the first
items and reject the other, but the
council decided that they would NOT
pay any of it unless Mr.. Trego ac-
cepted the compromise on the dis
puted item. That they did not pro-
pose to give him any of it until he
would acknowledge full payment Of
the item in dispute.
Want City Light Plant
The council decided to become ac-
tive in the effort to secure city
light plant, and if necessary hold
special meeting to consider it.
Will Buy More Dirt
The mayor asked for an expression
as to what the council wanted to do
about buying dirt from excavations.
W. F. Bergman said he was op-
posed to buying; Hess and Mowrey
felt the same about it. Stephens,
Van Bramer and THOMPSON favored
buying. Mr. Pelkey was undecided,
but said he thought the council
should hold an option on that, and
where man was going to excavate.
and there was low ground in the ad-.
jacent street, he could dump it there
and do it free. Mayor Peck asked
If it was the wish of the council to
pay one citizen and refuse another,
who was on the same footing and fur
nish the same value in service. It
was ordered that the council con-
tinue to buy dirt at 10 cents yard
until further notice.
About Hitching Racks
Mayor Peck asked the council
what they would do about allowing
people to tie their horses on vacant
lots or on open spaces about the
buildings. He said that if the pres
ent practice is continued some ar
rangements should be made for keep
ing the premises clean and sanitary;
that it is not fair to the farmers to
invite them to come to town to trade
and then deny them a place to tie;
