The Building and Grounds com
mittee was authorized to park the
grounds about the city hall, as per
plans drawn by Boyer & Rogers, the
Pocatello architects.
Councilmen Toomer, Cherry and
Merrill we're named as members of
the health committee. These, with
, City Physician Ashley, will consti-
tute the city board of health, with
the latter as chairman.
Owing to the largely increased
area of ground that will be planted
to gardens this year. which will call
for the use OF much more water than
heretofore, Chairman Merrill or the
Waterworks committee recommend
ed that the city be divided into three
districts, and that each district have
separate hours for using the water
for lawn and garden purposes. The
recommendation was approved by
the council, and the city was divided
into districts with watering hours,
as follows:
District No. From First street
to and including the east side OF
, Sixth street; hours from to II a.
m.
District No. From the west
side Of Sixth street to and includ-
ing the east side of Ninth street;
hours from IL a. m. to 4 p. m.
District No. 3-From the west
side of Ninth street to the o. s. l..
right Of way; hours from 4 to p.
m.
This order is to take effect and
be In force from the first day OF
June until the irrigating season for
1917 closes.
The mayor instructed the water
superintendent and police officers TO
enforce this order without fear or
favor, and also to strictly enforce
the ordinance which prohibits the
use of hose without nozzles.
With the view of parking the plot
OF ground at the foot OF Main street,
known as the triangle" the city
clerk was instructed to write TO DR..
I. e. Rich OF Ogden. and ascertain
at what price he holds the land he
owns within "the triangle" The
clerk was also instructed 10 write 60
Nate Franklin of Pocatello. in re-
gard to removing his old shack from
the corner OF Main street and the O.
s. L. right of way.
The council adjourned to meet
again tonight, at which time It is ex-
pected the committee will report on
the purchase OF an auto fire truck.

MAKE A
Big HAUL OF UNo
beer MONDAY NIGHT
Under Provisions of Section 81
of Chapter 2O7 of Revised
Statutes-Biggest S eizure
Made in Augusta for Long
Time-Outcome of Movement
Is Yet a Mystery

Sheriff Harwood and his deputies
sprung something of surprise last
night by instituting "Uno beer" raid
and visiting such places as that and
similar beverages are kept for sale and
making a seizure wherever the stuff
was found. The searching was done
under the provisions of Sec. 81 Of
Chapter 207 of the Revised Statutes,
which provides that all bottles con-
tanning liquors of the nature of Uno
beer or other beers and ales must have
plainly shown upon the label the per-
centage of alcohol contained in the
contents Of the bottle. In every in
stance in which the provisions of the
statute had not been complied with
the stuff was seized, and the officers
secured a big lot. One lot of the stuff
was the big truck of the Gardiner Bot
Ting Co. which had just arrived in
the city with load to be delivered to
the several customers here. The to-
tai raid is reported OF have been over
four horse loads.
The sheriffs made a thorough can
vass of the Uno district, and landed
some Of the stuff at about every place.
The list given out by the officers last
night included the names of Frank Du-
til. John Terrio, Gardiner Bigelow.
George Fred Hopkins, Harold Pack
ard, Gardiner Bottling Co. (truck) and

labor problem now confronting the
Aroostook farmer. He urged the farm
ers TO take hold and help themselves
as much as possible. ever remembering
TO lend helping hand to the less pros
porous farmer. Mr. Todd took up the
possibility of bringing interned Ger

farms.
Applaues of several minutes dura-

Todd and the B. & A. are doing to help
them in the most serious time that

MOTHER TAKES
OWN CHILD

Rumors OF abduction of child on
North street were current on the
street Monday forenoon. Mr.. \. Bach
elder Of North street has been board
irs the 5-year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Doucette of Marlboro Mass The
child had been placed with Mrs. Bach
elder to board by the father of the lit
tie one and the board paid by him. 1t
is understood that the father is sick
somewhere in northern Maine, and the
mother came to Gardiner and took the
child Monday. after which she went
at once to the police station and re-
ported the affair to the city marshal.
She made no effort to leave the city
with the girl and evidently courted
the fullest investigation. A hearing was
held in the afternoon before Recorder
Clason and as a result the child was
ordered back to the care of Mrs Bach
elder. pending a thorough investiga-
tion.
