HAS GONE, BUT
WILL RETURN

Col. Shook left last Saturday for
Loveland, Colo, and informed us that
he would return in sixty days with his
family and make BlackfOot his future
home. Mr.. Shook is very favorably i'm
pressed with this town and its agricul-
tural environments where he says there
are opportunities that seem to be I'M
seen by our old residents, who need a
trip abroad to realize the great and
numerous farm and town investments
that they are passing up every day. He
says his business of an auctioneer takes
him over a great scope of country and
he is emphatic in the statement that
the land is better, crops are better, and
the prices are better than any other
country he knows of.

IMPORTANT SESSION
OF CITY COUNCIL

The city council held regular meet
ing last Tuesday night with quorum
present and Mayor West presiding.
The Improvement Committee that has
the building and site for hose house
under consideration reported some prog
ress, and requested further time which
was granted.
The sewer commissioner was instruc-
ted to order. a ear of tiling for the use
Of the city.
H. VI. kirkpatrick notified the coun-
ell that unless they had his ditch re-
pai .co and replaced as it was prior to
the time when it was changed at their
permission by others and rendered use
less to him, that he would seek redress
in the courts. The councilmen seem to
think that Mr.. Kirkpatrick s demand is
both important and justifiable and
seemed willing to repair any injury
done him by their accommodation to
others who he claims have destroyed his
water right. 1t is estimated that 800
will replace the ditch in as good a
condition as it was prior to its removal,
of which F.. G. Parkinson is willing to
contribute $50, and Mr.. Mowrey is also
willing to help, and councilman Bond
stated that he thought others would
make up the rest of the necessary
amount. The city attorney was instruct
ed to attend to the matter and see what
the city can do to make the ditch a
benefit to all parties interested.
A communication was read from the
West Side Ditch Co., accusing the city
of maintaining an obstruction on their
ditch at the crossing on West Bridge
street, and the council was very forcibly
reminded that unless the city had such
obstruction removed by the 10th of
April, 1915. said ditch company would
begin suit for damages. The matter was
referred to the street and alley commit
tee.
The appointing of the necessary of
ficers for the coming city election will
take place at the next meeting of the
council
A motion by Councilman Bond to re-
duce the salaries of city officials other
than the councimen, was seconded by
Councilman LaCour. and created con
siderable discussion. The motion pro
vided for the trimming of the mayor 5
salary from $3.50 to 5000; the clerk s
from $3.50 to $500; the attorneys from
$l00 to 5000, the police judges from
$500 to $3.50; and the treasurer from
5000 to $50. Mr. Bond stated in his
motion that while the work of the
council was decreasing the councilmeI
We're not getting sufficient remunera
ton for the services they rendered the
city, but thought that the salaries paid
the mayor, clerk, attorney and police
judge were greater than the city could
afford to pay. He insisted that the of
flee of city treasurer was sinecure
and could be abolished, but for the
demand of the law that every city have
a treasurer to sign all its legal docu
ments. He recommended that salary

| of $50 per annum be allowed for the
future city treasurer.
Councilman Nofear Davis opposed
the motion and the insinuation by Mr.
Bond that the work of the city officials
was decreasing, and contended that the
city's population and improvements,
both public and private were plainly
increasing. and demanded an increase
in the abors and efficiency of its gov
erning body. lie agreed with Mr.. Bond
that the councilmen We're poorly paid
for the time they spent attending to
public affairs in chamber and commit
tee work which frequently takes them
from their businesses for half a
day at a time. He stated that the abil-
ity and time expended by the clerk
and attorney in the performance Of
their duties was far in excess of the
credit and remuneration they received
and he was opposed to cutting their pre-
sent salaries, which he said if done
would materially decrease the present
efficiency which was absolutely neces-
sary for the proper care and protection
Of the city's interests.
Mr.. Davis was ably supported in his
contentious by Councilman Peck and
Mayor West, and Polio Judge Ezell who
was present and very vehemently op-
posed any reduction in salaries.
The motion to reduce salaries was
lost by the following vote: No-Peck,
Davis, LACQUER and Van Bramer.
Yes-Bond, Stephens.
After the motion to reduce the sal
aries of the mayor, clerk, attorney and
police judge, was lost. and the slight
nj nf
forgotten Councilman Peck moved that
the salary of city treasurer be reduced
from $3.50 to $50 per annum. This mo-
tion was gladly seconded by Mr.. Bond
and unanimously passed.
1t was the opinion of the mayor and
a ma jority of the councilmen present
tnat a decrease of the present city sal
a. les would be false economy, and that
the small saving made thereby would
result in great decrease of efficiency
and an expensive lack Of interest in the
welfare of the city s interests which are
becoming greater and more complicated
with its steady development and
growth.

Prof. Vincent was present with a

council protesting against the damage
and danger of stock being driven
through the city, but the council was
unable to give him any consolation as
1T was necessary and unavoidable
practice. The only recourse to be had
was damage suit in the courts.

TRIED AND
FOUND TRUE
SOME FACTS ABOUT OUR CITY
OFFICIALS NOW IN OFFICE.

The personnel Of the present city
council is too well known to need full
some praise or criticism of any kind.
They are all representative citizens, tax
payers and business men of this city
whose public and private record are un-
sullied. In the discharge of their Of
ficial duties they have been both con-
servative and progressive, and during
the many years that most Of them have
served the city, no one has yet justly
accused them of single act that has
not redounded to its benefit. They
have the courage Of their convictions,
soundness Of judgment, unimpeached
characters, and an unalterable love and
LOYALTY for their home city that would
not permit them to do anything detri
mental to it. There may be others just
as good, but we do not believe their
superiOrs can be found.
