POOL HALL BILLS ARE READY
Some Changes to be Recommended by
Committee, it is Understood

The three twins, the pool hall bills,
made their appearance in the house
again last Tuesday. These measures
were reported without recommenda-
tion by the committee on privileges
and elections some time ago but were
withdrawn again that another public
hearing might be had.
Some changes have been made. it
is understood. 1t is believed that most
of the provision of H. B. No. 15 will
be incorporated in H. B. No. lat and
H. B. No. las will be killed. Other
change recommendations that are an
ticipated are change in the pro-
posed hour of closing, making it IL
o'clock instead of o'clock and, in
the case of unincorporated towns and
villages, giving county commissioners
authority to set the hour. A change
has been made also, 1t is understood,
to include pool, billiard and card
tables in clubs as we'll as those run
for profit.
At the request of the representa-
tives of the best class of pool and bill
lard halls, H. B. No. 147, it is said,
has been amended to make all card,
billiard and pool tables open to the
unobstructed public view and provid-
ing that the possession of gambling
paraphernalia shall be prima facie
evidence of gambling.
No change has been made, it is
understood, In the bill prohibiting
petty gambling games, but amend
ments are expected to be offered
making it possible to play for the
price of the game.-Statesman.

MEETING OF
CITY COUNCIL

At the meeting OF the city councll
Tuesday evening all members were
present with the exception of Messrs
Younie and O'Neal, who are out of
town.
The general improvements commit
tee, who are working on more econ
omical lighting system, presented to
the council communication from the
Southern Idaho Water Power COM
pany in answer to the committees
request to the power company that
the latter make the city a price on
their lighting equipment in Black
foot. The power company gave no
definate answer, but stated that they
had extensive improvement planned,
which would necessitate their main
taing distributing station here
whether they sold to the city or not,
for this reason they tried to dis
couraged the idea and informed the
council that their manager would be
here in short time and submit a
proposition that would, in their opin-
ion, meet with the approval of all
concerned. In the meantime the i'm
provement committee are instructed
to keep working on the light plant
under municipal ownership, it being
the opinion of all that the city could
operate a plant and get better SER
vice and more light at less expense
besides materially reducing the ra,e
to consumers.
The city attorney submitted re-
port dealing with the division of city
revenues, showing what portion
should go to the school district. 1t
appears that the city has been giving
the school district more than it's
share and the. city attorney offered
the opinion that the school was en-
titled only to one-half of such moneys
collected by the city for liquor Ii
censes or from fines and fees or pen
alties under our ordinances, such as
are collected by the police judge and
assessed by him, and the clerk was
instructed to divide with the school
board accordingly.
The school board has granted the
city the use of the south end of the
old gymnasium building at the Cen
trail school, for use as hose house,
and the fire chief was instructed to
have the building and approaches FIX
ed and move one of the carts and
the necessary hose to that building at
once.
The street and alley committee
was instruced to secure prices for
the tile pipe for crossings and place
an order for what is required. a.
Citizens in the southwestern part
of the city complained of what was
termed the city pest house. No one
seemed to know how it was created
or who authorized it. The matter
was placed with Councilman Bond to
give 1t immediate attention.
Mrs. Mary Marion asked through
the councilman of her ward that her
sprinkling tax, amounting to 1915,
be cancelled. The request was grant
ed.
Councilman Stevens was tempor-
arily placed on the finance committee
during the absence of two of that
branch of the city government.
Councilman Peck, of the cemetery
committee reported that the water
supply at the cemetery is inadequate
and set forth the necessary changes
to be made to bring the pumping
plant up to requirements, he also ask
ed for the right to make necessary
improvements on the newly plotted
portion and the beautifying of the
diamond. All favored Mr.. Peck 8

Allies Activity Uuset German Plans
 In Vicinity of Riga

LONDON, Nov. s-Germany's plans in the Riga district have been completely demorahzed by the sue cessful campaign of British sub marines in the Baltic sea and the complete closing of the Gulf of Riga by Russian mine fields, says the Petrograd correspondent of the Post.
 The Germans are now endeavoring with the most feverish energy" the correspondent says, "to hasten the restoration of the slender and inadequate railway services in their rear. This work heretofore has been carried on in leisurely fashion be- cause of the belief that present needs could be adequately served by the sea route. This plan of cam paign has been made more vital by early snow storms, which the Rus sians declare presage winter of unusual severity.
 "The belief here is that when the Germans are compelled to undergo he rigors of a ral Russian winter, constantly annoyed by guerrilla at tacks, and with inadequate facilities, they will lose more men by sick ness and suffer greater demoraliz- ation than comes from even the worst defeats in the field. It is re- ported thatthe Germans already are experiencing terrible hardships and severe epidemics of sickness, al- though the weather still is what the Russian soldiers call warm"

TRAGEDY OF THE HYPHEN
(New Republic)

Since the war began the Ger mans in America have suffered acutely the pain of denationaliza- tion. Almost over night burst of hate was let out upon the father land. The place where they were born was denounced as barbarous. They were practically called upon to denounce Germany or to be de- nounced themselves. The country to which their earliest memories were attached had become a moral outlaw.
 Of course they couldn't believe it. It was the home of their pa rents and childish games; reason
 d evidence could make no impress sion upon what their hearts told them was fine. At the same time they had newer attachment to America, the scene of their ambi- lions. A more cruel choice was
 offered to any Sody of people
 The result we know-an ins- tinctive German devotion to Ger many and a theoratical devotion to America The hyphen was cut between. Their dumb but deepest affections and their conscious duties. Their spiritual life has been a terrible torment to them, and their effort to find a decent compromise
 their childhood patriotism and their mature citizenship has been protesque when it wasn't 'athetic.

SENATOR GIVES ACCOUNT
 OF NEW YORK VISIT
lFrom Post-Intellingencerl

Chivalry and watches may well be left at home by Alaskans who in- wade New York, according to Sen ator Frank A. Aldrich, of Nome, who is on his way North after a visit of a month in the Eastern metropolis. Senator Aldrich was made much of in New York, was pestered by reporters as curiosity as he admitted to all corners that he had never been out of Alaska save for one trip to Seattle in twen- ty-three years. and that furthermore he had never been in New York before. To reporter who express ed his surprise in three column over the senator mushing 2,000 miles to attend a meeting of the Alaska legislature, Senator Aldrich came back with the query as to how it was possible for a young man to live thirty-five miles out of New York and yet make his way through tic crowds to work every day.
 Hobbleskirt cars, sitting New Workers, short skirts, fur topped boots and ankle watches were tho few manifestations of the big city that remained the most firmly fix ed in the senator's memory.
 got up one day in a crowded street car to give woman sea. and the rest of the male passengers glared at me as if were crazy" ne said yesterday at the Frye. "May- be they thought I might establish a dangerous precenent, for all the time l was there I never saw one of that New York gang give his seat to woman, no matter how old and tired she might be. And the street cars. There are lots of cars there with steps right close to the ground. They told me the women kicked so much about the high steps that the company lowered the steps so the women with hobble skirts could get oh' udl ! see any HouoIe Sk1Tts and all the women I saw wouldn't have had any trouble getting up on any step no matter how high, as they all wear their dresses to their knees. And that isn't all-they wear fur topped shoes and ankle watches. I let my watch run down while in New York. I found I didn't need it. Anybody can tell the time there on the street.
