Pleased With Conditions

Within a few days a recommendation
will be made to State Health Inspector
J.. X. White at Boise, that Moscow's
health authorities be instructed to
keep all the bitches in the north part
of the city draining surface water
from the northeast and in the vicinity
of the green house and vinegar plant,
open and on such a grade that no wa
ter car stand and stagnate.
A. H. Wilson of the state health de-
partment, arrived in the city yester-
day to spend a few days looking over
Moscow's health problems before the
opening of the fair when he will be
one of the speakers at the baby show,
Tuesday and Wednesday,. He went
over the drainage problems of the city
with City Engineer Harvey Smith and
Chief of Police Grant Robbins, and
was moved to make the recommends
ton concerning the north drainage
district following his inspection.
"With~the one exception I find Mos
cow "a very neat, clean, and healthful
city. The drainage in the north
ern part of the city could be correct
ed permanently but at an expense
which the city would be unable to
bear. By raising the grade of the
bitches, however, a sanitary condition
will result that for temporary pur-
poses will be as satisfactory as any.
The water has been collecting in the
bitches and in some places along the
drainage route it has become stagn-
ant, which is very dangerous to the
health of the community surrounding"

TWO LIVES LOST
IN POND WATERS
@ CLAIMS FATHER
AND DAUGHTER.
Tragedy at Picnic-R. HI. Barrow
Drowned in Vain Effort to Save
Thirteen Year-Old Girl.

Spartanburg, July Ar. H. Bar
row of 233 south Liberty street and
his little daughter, Jennie Sue, 13
years of age, were the victims of
quicksand when they were drowned
in Pearson's pond near the Country
club east of the city this afternoon,
while Mrs. Barrow and three little
sons stood near the edge of the water
and were unable to give assistance.
The accident occurred in a small
body of water near which the men,
bers of the Barrow family had spen.
the afternoon on a family picnic.
Miss Jennie Sue Barrow had gone
into the pond to wade when she was
seen to be sinking beyond her height
and Br. Barrow, with his clothing on,
entered the water to go to her assist
ance. When he approached her he,
too, began to sink and the child dis
appeared, but in her struggles seized
her father about the neck, which car
ried him below the water for a mo-
ment. His head, however, reappeared
above the water but imbedded in the
quicksand above his knees, he was
never able to extricate himself and
was drowned standing up with the
top of his head showing above. the
surface of the pond.
Mrs. Barrow and the smaller chill
dren who had witnessed the tragedy
gave the alarm, but it was some time
before there was response. Those
who removed the bodies from the
water say the accident was due to
the presence of a deep deposit of
quicksand in the pond into which the
little girl had sunk almost to her
waist and Mr.. Barrow above his
knees.
Mr.. Barrow was 56 years of age.
the proprietor of n market on south
Liberty street, and was prominently
connected with fraternal orders of the
city. He was a member of the
Knights of Pythias and of the u. c..
T. He is survived by his widow, who
was Miss Bellot of Calhoun, and five
children, Mrs. Charles Wrightson of
Spartanburg, Miss Celeste Barrow of
Richmond, Va, and three boys, r. II.

One by one earth's ties are broken
As we see our love decay

One by one our hopes grow brighter
As we near the shining shore
For we know across the river
Wait the loved ones gone before
Farewell. dear father, sweet be thy

Farewell till in yon heavenly home
We all shall meet again.
'Tis ours to miss thee all our years
And tender memories of thee to

Thy warm, true heart is stiIled
And on thy pale and peaceful face
L. resting deaths cold chill.

And in our aching hearts we know
We have no father now.

ANOTHER MEETING TO
BE HELD NEXT WEEK

About 100 citizenssand taxpayers
attended the mass meeting which was
held at the Nymore school house last
evening to discuss and consider the
proposed consolidation with Be-
midi. :! -
H. C. Blackburn, president of the
village council and member of the
school board, presided at the meet
ing. He stated that the meeting had
been called to obtain the sentiment
of the people and taxpayers on the
consolidation with s5Bemidji. He
showed that the financial condition
of School District No. 4, of which
Nymore is part. is very poor. that
the tax rate is very light, being 1873
mills The assessed vah.atLon ig ex-
fceedingly low, being only 81, ,0lll. -
He stated that as result of a joint
meeting of the Nymore and Bemidji
school boards, it was found impos-
sible to consolidate the two school
districts without consolidating the
towns.
An Old Natter.
"Consolidation is getting to be an
old matter with the school board and
the council, yet some of the citizens
of Nymore do not understand it,
said J. w. Smith, trustee of the coun-
Gil and president of the school board.
!"When we first tried to consolidate
the two school districts without con-
solidating the towns, G. q. Schulz
state superintendent of schools, made
the statement that it. would aid tenn:
lporarily, but not permanently.
"Following the report of com
lnaittee to meet with the Bemidjl
l sdhool board in which it was learned
THAT the Bemidji school would not
consolidate unless the city of Bemidj
and the village of Nymore also con
solidated, the Nymore council tool
it up and Investigated. We fount
THAT Bemidji is willing to consolidate
and that 1t now lies with the taxpay
J ers of Nymore, in whose interest thi'
4nneeting was called"
| Mr.. Smith stated that it would b.
much cheaper to consolidate tha,
have the citizens and taxpayers o
anymore bear the bsrAen.
! Town is Bankrupt.
J "The fact Of the matter is that tn
! town is legally bankrupt, and II W
: tried to raise bonds adequate to tn

! waste of material and energy"
GLOW could we better ourselve

twas asked at the meeting. This wa
lanswered by stating that Nymore
valuation is but $4,000, while tha
O of Bemidji is $1,500,000. Bemtdji
