Want a $4,000 Library,
aSite and a Thousand a Year

The city council held a regular ad-
journed meeting Tuesday night with a
quorum and mayor present.
Minutes of the previous regular adj

by Mrs. Duckworth ana West, appear
ed before the council pleading for a
$4,000 Carnegie library and an annual
appropriation of $1,000 to maintain the
same, on suitable site also to be pro

sionate argument in favor of the pro-
Mrs. p. w. Powers, on behalf of the
Current Event Club, gave the solons
many important facts concerning the
present and proposed library. After
the ladies departed the council briefly

DEATH OF NEIL
F. BOYLE JR.

Neil F. Boyle, Jr., who is in charge
of the Boyle Hardware Co. of Poca-
tellO, was brought home sick Saturday
night with what threatened to be an
attack of appendicitis or ptomaine poi
soning. Monday morning he was
taken to Salt Lake for medical exam
ination. He was accompanied by
DR.. Patrie, who returned OH this
mornings train and reports his pa
tient a victim of appendicitis in an
aggravated form. Yesterday afternoon
an operation was performed, and the
young man, though in precarious con-
ditiOn, had an even chance between
life and death. The many friends of
the young man hope that his valuable
and honorable career will be spared to
his devoted relatives and friends.
Just as we We're going to press the
sad news of the death of N. +. Boyle,
Jr.. reached Black foot, and east an APP
parent pail over the entire city, where
he was unanimous favorite. His
mother and father were with him when
he died and to them has gone forth the
sympathy of this entire community.

so PEOPLE
MAY KNOW

Blackfoot and Bingham county are
enjoying an era Of prosperity never be-
fore experienced. Buildings and work
now under construction and those COM
pleted this year aggregate total val
.uation of about $350,O00. This does
not include many small buildings and
additions which have been made dur
ing the same period. We believe this
is good time for every citizen to put
his shoulder to the wheel of progress
and push Blackfoot forward so that
she will lead all the cities of South
eastern Idaho. To aid this progress we
must have permanent, hard-surfaced
county roads, and the only way to at
tain this is by bond issue which will
enable the county to provide an ade-
quate fund for the construction of the
same. We believe the sentiment is in
favor of bond issue of half million
dollars, said amount to be expended
under the supervision of competent
road engineer. We believe this bond
issue should be submitted to the voters
at an early date.

LIBRARY BOARD MEETING

AT the regular Library Board meeting
Tuesday evening it was decided to
place upon the magazine table for the
use of the reading public the following
magazines:
The Youth S Companion, The Stock
Breeders Gazette, The Gem State Ru-
raj and Idaho Farmer, The Literary
Digest, Harper's, Woman's Home Com
panion.
Cases have been ordered in which to
file magazines. There are no better
reference books than such magazines
if properly filed. We wish to draw tho
attention of the public especially the
students in the High School, to the
number Of reference books we now
have OH all subjects. These reference
books can be taken out, but it is hoped
that the library will become study
center. The ladies' are doing all in
their power to make it an attractive
place for study.
Lord LyttOn s works have been Civ
en-; also Hall Gaines, and a complete
set Of Thackeray during the past week.
There are now out 269 books and
only five are overd due. This is some
record.
Every thoughtful citizen ought to read
the monthly library report in this pa.
per and then study carefully whether
we need city library. All country
children having booke out ought to
return them Friday noon.
Sixty children listened attentvely
to Mrs. Ernest Pearson as she so beau
tifully told the stores last Friday.
At 4 O'Clock this Friday treat has
been prepared for the children If the
room was only larger the grown people
would be welcome, but many children
are forced to stand out doors as it is
unless they come early.
The proceeds from the Merry Girl
minstrel show amounted to 500.
Many new books have been ordered
this week.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

What, then, are you doing to consti-
tute yourself good citizen!
What are you doing for this town?
What are you doing to justify your
citizenship in this town!
You can not sit down, criticise, let
others do the work that makes town
or community, and still call yourself a
good citizen.
The good citizen never thinks only
of self. He must necessarily think OF
self or he would not survive, but good
citizenship requires more than that
much more.
1t requires that you keep in mind
that there are others who have rights
and are entitled to have those rights re-
spected by others-by you. On the
same basis you are entitled to have
your rights equally respected by them.
That is good citizenship-partially.
In addition, the good citizen remembers
that his town is entitled to his best eff
forts in it's behalf, to the end that the
interests of the community may be ad-
vanced by all legitimate means.
This means, too, that in advancing
the interests you are advancing your
own, which is the ultimate aim of the
human race.

MASONIC BANQUET.

An event that was characteristic OF
the manner of handling such affairs
by the Masonic lodge of this city,
was the banquet that followed a
special communication which had
been called last Friday evening for
the purpose of doing work in the Bird
degree The attendance OF members
and visiting Masons reached nearly

quet that had been prepared for the
occasion and was spread In tho Odd
Fellows hall, which the Masons had
been kindly permitted to use for
the purpose. Music by the High
School orchestra, under the leader
ship Of Prof. T. R. Nelson, with Mira.
Nelson presiding at the piano, add
ed immensely to the pleasure of the
occasion, while Masonic solo, very
applicable in its sentiment. which
was rendered by Prof. Nelson, fur
nished a climax to that feature OF
the evenings entertainment that was
highly appreciated.
The toasts that followed were ap-
as usual, and rounded

CITY SECURE IN
POWERFORPUMP|N ING
D. c. CHASE MAKES FINAL
PROOF ON COMPLETION
OF WORKS.

On Friday last, D. c. Chase, trus-
tee for the Slough Committee, acting
for and in behalf OF the City of
Payette, submitted final proof OF
the completion of works for the di-
version of 200 cubic feet per second
of the waters of the Payette river
and of the application to beneficial
use of said waters in accordance with
the terms and conditions of a per-
NIT heretofore issued by the State
Engineer of the State of Idaho.
This is the source through which
Payette is now possessed Of an in
defeasible right to the use Of suff-
cient water to furnish power for the
operation of the municipal water sys-
TEN, there being no qualifying con-
dition other than that of it being
obligatory upon the part OF the city
and the Payette Mills, which are
jointly interested in the use of the
water for power purposes, to keep
the slough in such condition as to
carry sufficient water to furnish the
necessary amount OF power that will
be needed
The exact status of this matter
of power for the city pumping plant
seems to have been a mooted ques-
tion with which several administra-
tions have had to wrestle in the
past, without having reached any
final solution, owing no doubt, to
the lack of complete understand
ing between the parties interested.
Doubtless every citizen will be glad
to hear OF the final satisfactory
termination Of the matter.
