VILLAGE TRUSTEES MEET.
Proposals to Build Sidewalk Brings
Forth Controversy.

Between twenty and thirty inter
ested citizens attended the city coun-
Gil meeting Tuesday evening to dis
cuss the questions involving the estab-
fishing of sewer district on the north
side of town and the building of side-
walk to connect the two sides of the
town. The construction of a sewer
system is now i'm the hands of a com
mittee, the council already having
passed an ordinance of intention to
create a sewer district The commit
tee appointed by Mayor Henry Lang
to control the sewer proposition were
II. c. Wones, Or. II. +. Moth and T. T.
St John. They will work in conjunc-
ton with Frank Moench, city engineer
to furnish plans and careful estimate
of the cost OF the proposed construc-
ton
The greatest discussion OF the even
ing hinged around the proposal to
build a sidewalk from the end of the
concrete walk al the MeKown Plumb
ing shop to the railroad track, c0Dz
Meeting with the street and sidewalk
running west by Dubois Nichols gar
age. The property holders west of the
proposed walk and south OF the Oneida
grain elevator want the sidewalk to
follow the street and run directly
south from the plumbing shop to an
intersection with the street running
east and west in front OF the Idaho
lumber company's yard. A definite de-
cision concerning the matter was not
reached and It will probably be set.
tied at the next regular meeting Tues
day night.

ance governing the control Of dogs tha

ADDITIONAL JUDGE BILL VETOED.

Governor Alexander has vetoed the bill passed al
most unanimously to give another Judge to this dis
trict, the grounds of economy One judge at
trct, the grounds of economy His estimate of the
saving by reason of the veto is $500 per year.
The salaries of courts and reporters are paid by
the state as whole and not by districts In 1913 the
last figures available taxes collected within the state
were $S619637. For every s., ,l49 paid in taxes
but ST. 90 woud be taken to support this extra judge
and court reporter. Reducing it down, if the bill in
creased taxes at ALL it would be only from $1149 to
$1150
In view of the almost insafferable conditions in
this district with cases now filed which will take
about two years to dispose of and being filed
faster than they be tried this appears to be mig
gardly economy, if it is not absolute false economy
No man will get far economy advocate who
disaproves needed measurs which at the outside
would cost taxpayers only one cent for each $1149
paid. And as far as being annexed to the Sixth
district that is out of the question The expenses of
getting there and back not less than $40 and four
days time would cost the people of this county many
times than the additional court would have cost
them.
The governors argument that prohibition, when it
comes, will eliminate the bootlegging cases and
therefore reduce the work Of the courts is very
faulty We now have prohibition in thirteen coun
ties in the southeast and this is cause of the in
creased court work. When Lemhi and Custer are
added to the prohibition column the court there if it
is not now busy, will then be- and no relief will re-

since meeting Jackson had got on his
no longer.
After he had killed Paxton Jackson
walked out of the dining room to give
himself up. Charles Taysom was con-
stable then, and Jackson had surren-
dered to him. When / came up Jack
son handed his gun to me. l told him
to keep it, that he could defend him
self a great deal better than l could
defend him. Several of Paxton's men
were in town and we did not know
what would happen.
There was work train standing
here at the time and the engineer was
given orders from Pocatello as soon as
the news of the killing was known
there, to keep fire up and be ready at
any time TO take Jackson on board and
carry him out of danger If 1t was con-
sidered necessary. The engine was un-
hooked from the train and kept ready
for instant service.
1t was six days before we gave Jack
son a preliminary hearing, at which
he was discharged.
The day of Jackson's preliminary
hearing the railroad company sent an
engine from Pocatello bringing "Ken-
lucky" Smith, one of the best lawyers
in Idaho, to defend him. Smith was
paid for his services by the railroad
company as Paxton and his gang had
frequently shot up the depot, shot the
headlights of engines and signal lights
and been responsible for about all the
annoyance the company had been sub
jected to.

ey and was afraid to come He plead
ed sickness, but we all knew what the
matter was. / was justice of the
peace and wrote McCullum that if he
did not come at once would turn
Jacskon loose We could not hold him
more than a week without giving him
a preliminary trial. On the sixth day
McCullom came. coming overland by
way of Rockland. He urged haste in
holding the trial because of urgent
business that called him elsewhere. So
we had the trial and turned Jackson
loose.
Paxton was a real bad man. He
had been In trouble in Texas and was
forced to leave there. One of the men,
bers of his gang was John Flemming,

good time and meant no harm to
anybody.

WIN TWO GAMES.


American Falls high school struck
its real gait Friday and Saturday Of
last week and took into camp. teams
representing the Pocatello Academy
and Rupert high school. The first
game on the home floor Friday night
resulted IN a 5s to 10 score with the
home boys on the long end Saturday
night they won from Rupert Mt Rupert

season.
The game at home Friday night was
the most cleverly played OF any seen
on the local floor this season. The
showing OF the Academy was a disap-
pointment to those who had antici-
pated A. close game. but thei work OF
the Falls team kept the spectators In
terested every minute. Their short.
accurate passes, clever foot work and
elusive system OF taking the ball from
center kept the visitors In hot water
all the time. Evans and Hooker at
the forward positions lost their guards
on every play. The latter was off on
shooting or the score would have been
much larger. Cube" Sallee at right
guard, showed to the best advantage
OF any guard seen here this season.
He played hard and fast all the, time.

the opposing offense every time II got
the ball. Previous TO the game Fri

night.
The best vaudeville treat OF the sea-
son was given by the Neeley boys and
the second team OF the high school,
after the first team had finished with
the Academy. Nceley gave an exhI-
bition OF how not to play the game ot

T. N. Porter, Club Superintendent and
agent of the u. s. Department Of Ag-
riculture, working under the direction
of the agricultural department of the
State University, spent Tuesday and
Wednesday visiting a number of the
schools in the. county, in company
with County Superintendent Miss
Whistler and organizing boys and
girls clubs I'm all of them for the study
of practical subjects that are general
ly neglected in school work. Thurs
day they visited the American Fills
schools, Fairvicw and two schools Ia
district Is, taught by Miss Flay Giffin
and Miss Ollie Short. Wednesday
they visited the Neeley Schools, Miss
Underwood and Mrs. Jones. teachers;
Cold Creek, Ruth Whistler. teacher;
earns school, Edwin Fifield. teacher;
and the Rockland schools.
Clubs were organized as follows:
Corn, potato. poultry, pig, canning OF
fruits and vegetables, sewing and
cooking. A home garden and back
yard club was also organized of the
very little folks. to grow four kinds
Of vegetables and flowers. The little
folks promised to keep their eyes
glued on any tin cans that may now
or hereafter be found in their yards,
and to kage a war of determination
upon them and weeds.
Mr. Potter hopes that prizes Will be
arranged for these clubs at the county
fair, giving small awards TO those that
show the best results.
At the earns school a boys alfalfa
was formed, a number of boys prom
Using to seed a half acre OF dry land
TO alfalfa, and Mr. Potter is very hope
fui Of getting dry land alfalfa, 50 nee
essary to permanent success Of dry
land farming, introduced in this way.
Three years ago the work Mr.. Pot
ter is engaged In was started by Miss
Shepherd. state superintendent. There
were no funds available, but Senator
Brady supported the department alone
contributing about $4,000 to the work
until a bill could be put through con-
gress to supply the funds. The Smith
Lever bill accomplished this purpose,
and Miss Shepherd, before she left
office, turned the work over TO the
State university In order 10 make the
funds available. Mr.. Potter, who had
charge OF the work under her direction
was transferred to the university force
and made an agent Of the United States
Department of Agriculture. There are
now about eight thousand boys and
girls in Idaho studying agriculture
and kindred subjects. The work II
now carried on under direction OF the
state university. state and count,
superintendents cooperating. Thi,
