the council and said they had been
granted an easement along their
property so the sidewalk would be
located where it would spare the row
of trees, and the easement had ex-
pired without their knowing of its
and now new line had
been given them for the pavement
and it would require the removal of
their big trees and place the walk
too close to the house to suit them.
Mrs. Sarah Osborn said the same
line needed adjusting at her property.
Mr.. Batway put in a plea for con-
sideration at his place, and the mat
ter was left for the new street and
alley committee to adjust.
Officers Sworn in
The new officers all took the Of
fetal oath and new session began.
Mayor Peck addressed the new coun-
Gil and said he earnestly desired the
hearty cooperation of them all in
giving the city the very best admins
tration they could. That he would
keep his ear to the ground to see
what the majority want and won d
try to serve them we'll. That he was
under no obligations to any persons
or institution, and was free to act as
he thought best He hoped the COM
mittees assigned to duty would dis
charge their duties carefully and re-
port promptly. He wanted them all
to work with the determination that
all ordinances must be obeyed or re-
pealed. He thought one of the things
that needed attention was the cross
ing of the railroad tracks at Idaho
street, as it was a dangerous matter
as 1t is, and there should be a cement
walk on the south side east of the
track, and it should be opened to
foot travel He believed 1t was
mistake or an oversight to let it de-
velop the way it is. He recommended
that tramps be given time to get out
of town or be put to work on the
streets, and that an ordinance should
be enacted requiring anyone to secure
a permit before cutting trenches in
any streets or alleys as this is a
source Of danger and liability to the

Some Discussion
Frank Bergman said he had OBJ
served that the train crews operating
in town had been blocking crossings
in excess of the time limit of ten
minutes allowed by ordinance, and he
recommended enforcement of the or
dinance; that the officials of the road
want it enforced and it is our own
fault if we do not secure attention
to it.; that somebody, and especially
school children are in constant
danger of being killed when they get
out of patience waiting and try to
get around or over or dodge under
the train.
City Attorney Thomas suggested
that copy of the ordinance be sent
to the operating department at Poca-
tello with the statement that the ad-
ministration intend to enforce it, and
that this wi probably correct the
trouble without any harm or loss
to anybody or loss of employment by
the treainmen who might be made
an example of.
The matter of making flying
switches in town and especially on
the crossings was said to be very
dangerous, and this was agreed upon
as a practice that shall be stopped

multiplies 600 ball players by $4,000
will discover that the total Is s. ,SOO,-

der the protection of the National
Commission-there were $500 players
