ing two and one fifth miles of cement
walks and SO cement street crossings
made at cost of $4,000. This work is
being done by Lathrop & McCumsey.
Payette contractors. who expect to
have it completed by the first of June.
When this contract Is finished, En-
NETT will have total Of four and one
quarter miles of cement walks.
Extend Water Mains 400 Feet.
Emmett just completed the extern
sion of 1900 feet Of four-inch wood
pipe water mains. at a cost of about
$1,000. These water mains have been
connected up with the old water sys-
tenn and with the sewers. The new
water extension carries water for
about 40 additional water users.
Install New City Pump and Motor.
The city council has determined to
install a new pump and motor at the
municipal water works plant The
new pump will be equipped with an
automatic control. The new pump will
replace the present one In use at the
water works. The new pump has a
capacity of 125 gallons per minute.
The old pump has a capacity of $50
gallons per minute. It takes q Be-
horsepower motor to operate the 450-
gallon pump. This motor will be re-
placed with a 1o-horsepower motor.
which is amply large enough to run
the 125-gallon pump. The city pump
ing bill for electric power is now about
$50 per month. With the installation
Of the smaller pump and motor 1t 10
believed the power bill will be fully
one half less than 1t is now.
The flow of water in the city water
works we'll is estimated at 1876 gallons
per minute. or 10000 gallons in "a
hours. The city Of Emmett consumes
about 10000 gallons in every "a hours.
So 1t is seen that the city well and
the new pump and motor, are capable
of supplying water for q town ~
times the present size Of Emmett.

STEALS GAS FROM PIPE
AFTER METERS REMOVAL

Ben C. Wade, factory mechanic,
442 South Eighth street, when arraign-
ed in city court this morning pleaded
guilty to a charge of having stolen
gas from the Richmond Light, Heat &,
Power company. He was fined SIS and
costs. Wade blamed his housekeeper
with having tapped service pipe with
a rubber hose, attaching the hose to a
hot plate. He said the woman did this
without knowledge after the gas meter
had been taken from his home for fail
ure to pay his gas bills.
Wade tried to escape prosecution by
effecting settlement with the gas
company but the company insisted on
prosecuting him. A representative of
the company who appeared against
Wade informed the mayor that the
method employed in tapping the SER
vice pipe was very artistic job for 4
housekeeper to perform and he declar-
ed that when he went to the Wade
home yesterday TO make an investiga-

CARRANzISTAS ATTACK
SOLDIERS NEAR SATEvO

Ell PASO. April 24.-Alarming re-
ports of open Carranzista hostility to-
ard American troops in Mexico reach
ed the border today. A rumor was
brought from Juarez early that large
force of Carranza troops attack body
of American soldiers near Satevo on
Sunday, and that in the battle which
followed many were killed and in

An attempt to confirm this rumor at
General Gavira's headquarters in
Juarez failed. the Carranza leader say
ing he had received no "official' word

This, in substance, is the edict of
Mayor William J. Robbins in a public
proclamation issued today. designat-

follows:
The City of Richmond, through its
civic organizations and schools, has
designated May l to May s, inclusive,
as Clean Up and Paint Up Week. Dur
ing this period every citizen should
make an effort to clean up his house
and property so as to avoid fire risk;
to clean up his front and back yard;
to paint his premises: if necessary, to
abolish all places that might breed
flies and mosquitoes; to eliminate
dandelions and weed, and to help
clean up vacant lots.
Many people spend hundreds of dol
lars on the furnishing of their homes
and only an occasional caller gets to
admire them. A much smaller amount
spent in a good coat of fresh paint to

The city officials believe that it
would be a mistake to open the bridge
for even light traffic since the bridge
has been condemned by expert engi-
neers hired by the county officials. If
the city should reopen the bridge and
any accident result, the city would be
held responsible since the bridge has
been condemned by what are believed
to be competent engineers. The petit
ton asked that money be appropriated
by the city to make test Of the

mere Is no definite information
obtainable regarding the German sub
marine situation. Ambassador Ger
ard has communicated to Secretary
OF State Lansing all of the information
he has been able to secure, but it is
admitted that it is still far from def

are understood to refer to conferences
which the ambassador held on Sunday
with attaches of the foreign office,
but so far he has failed to send any
information regarding his conference
with the imperial chancellor, Dr. Won

cause of the belief that if she so de-
