Aside from the "gentlemen's agree
ment" to take care of the sewage that
at present empties into the river just
above the dam being built to divert
water into the lumber company's log
pond, there are several other reasons
why the present plans for the sew
age disposal works should receive the
approval of Emmett property owners.
One of them is that the present out
let will be a nuisance and under the
state law will have to be abated, ire
spective of any agreement. That be-
ing true, brings up another reason.
That the company refuses to permit
sewer pipes to be laid in their log
pond, for obvious reasons; that the
only other practical way to change
the present outlet is to extend the
pipe line beneath the bed of the
river to the north channel, the cost
of which is placed at $4,000, or ap-
proximately half the cost of the pro-
posed works, which will take care of
sewage for the entire city up to
population of 5000 Then whenever
other portions of the city are ready
to form a sewer district there will be
no expense to them for disposal
works. Still another reason is, as
agreed to by the company through
Mr.. Shellworth, that not only will
the company not ask to have certain
portions of their land taken out of the
city, but they will petition to have
more come in. AS Mr.. Shellworth
put it, "the Boise-Payette company
wants to become one of you, to share
your burdens and help pay the cost
of constructing these sewage works,
as we'll as the expenses of the city

Other Mining Notes.

The Ohio Mining Co. have finished
their hundred feet in the shaft anc
are now crosscutting to find the ledge
This they expect to find in about rs
feet. They are already in 60 feet. The
ground is hard now, while the shaft
was of very soft tale almost spading
ground. Everything is going nicely,
and the prospects are they will cut
the ledge in very few days.
The Hecla-Bacque leasing company,
who are working the Marguerite pro-
perty, have the water out to the $50
foot level and are commencing this
week to clean out the drift prepara-
tory to putting in a sump for the sta
tion pump so they can take care of
the water while sinking. These peo-
pie have had numerous troubles; the
principle one was the shortage of
coal. This seems to be easing and no
more trouble is anticipated. AS soon
as they get to sinking it will add to
the crew of men working and take
some little time, as they are going
down 100 feet. The shaft is in very
good shape, as the water has preserv-
ed the timbers and only few tagging
will have to be replaced.
The Au Sable people are still work.
ing on their tunnel, and have COM
menced to cross cut lately. Have not
found any ore to date, but should cut
a ledge soon.
The first of the year saw a few
claims jumped This is good mining
prospect, for it shows that few have
their eyes open to the advantage of
little development work. Several old
properties are out doing their assess
ment work for the past year and this
year as well. In general the camp is
looking we'll and the prospects are for
a good summer.
The passing of the 640-acre act was
a good move for the dry ranchers in
this vicinity, for now there is no land
but what has a filing on it and some
of the pieces have two. You will
see a considerable increase in the
stock raised around here within few
years. The ranchers know that they
must have stock to make good on the
ranches, and are working with that
idea in view. The Rural Credits will
put thousands of head of stock on
these ranches.
Pearl has had few of the incest
dances that one ever attended and the
crowd that has turned out surely have
enjoyed themselves. On the night of
Friday, January 26, we will have
another which we hope will be better
(if there is such thing) than all pre-
vious ones. Come and bring your
friends Will see that you have
something to eat.

COUNCIL PASSES SEW
Err ORDINANCE
Authorizes Bond Issue of
SIT, ,000-ElectiOn to be
Held February 10.

At special meeting of the city
council Saturday evening an ordin-
ance was passed, authorizing the
building of sewage disposal works
and calling an election to vote upon
the issuance of $4,000 worth OF
bonds for the payment of the cost OF
construction of the same. The ordi-
nance provides that the bonds shall
bear not to exceed per cent inter-
est, and shall be 1920 year bonds.
Advertisements for bids for the
sale of the bonds and for the con-
struction of the sewage works were
also authorized, so that there may be
no delay in starting construction work
if the election is favorable.
The meeting was largely attended
by taxpayers, most of whom were
called upon for an expression of
their views on the sewer proposition.
There was not a dissenting express
sion. The meeting was called as a
result of decision reached at mass
meeting held in Commercial club
rooms Thursday evening. The rooms
were filled to overflowing. Harry
Shellworth, representing the Boise
Payette Lumber company, was pres
ent to remind Emmett citizens that
the "gentleman's agreement" enter
ed into with his company when the
mill was located here had not been
carried out. He stated that one of
the stipulations was to change outlet
of the sewer so that it would not
dump into their log pond He want
ed to know if Emmett intended to
keep faith and carry out the "gen-
tleman's agreement" He said that
if sewage disposal works were con-
structed so as to carry off the sew
age of the Cobban addition, the COM
pany would build their workmen's
houses on that tract of land and pay
taxes on same to the city; otherwise,
if the company had to build their
own sewer system, including disposal
works, these houses would be built
outside of the city.
A vote being called upon the ques-
tion of to build the sewage works or
not, everyone present voted aye, and
accompanied it with request thnt
the city administration at once take
steps to submit the proposition to a
vote of the people at the earliest date
possible.

Worthmans to Town.

H. S. Workman has leased his
ranch on the bench to the VanDeusen
brothers for a term of years, and he
and Mrs. Workman will move to
town to engage in business. Mr..
Workman, who is graduate of the
Cincinnati Law School and an attor-
ney of broad experience, having prac-
ticed law for nearly quarter of a
century in Boise before coming to En-
NETT, will open offices in the Rees
building at once and devote all OF his
time to the practice of law. Mrs.
Workman will open a photograph gal
lery and gift shop combined as soon
as a suitable building can be secur-
ed. She is an experienced and artis-
tic photographer. Their friends will
wish them success in their new field
of endeavor.

MORE THAN FIFTY NEW
HOUSES PLEDGED
All Will Be Modern Dwellings
of Good Type-Company to
Build Cheaper Ones.

A total of SO new residences to be
built during the spring months was
the report of the committee appoint
ed by the Commercial Club to canvas
the city to determine if Emmett peo-
pie would provide the better class of
houses for the employees of the Boise
Payette Lumber company. The re-
port was surprise even to the most
sanguine and goes to show that En-
NETT citizens are ready and willing
to assist and cooperate with the lum-
Der company in solving the problem
of taking care of the small army of
men who are even now arriving to
work in the mills.
The meeting was held Thursday
evening. Harry Shellworth, repre-
senting the lumber company, was
present and he expressed himself as
being highly gratified at the generous
response.
Mr.. Shellworth then told of the
"gentleman's agreement" that had
been made with the lumber company
when the location of the mill here
was in the balance, and which agree
ment resulted in throwing the scales
in Emmett's favor. This agreement
promised three things: To change
the sewer outlet, to take out of the
city certain property within the city
limits and to vacate the road that cut
through their property. The sewer
agreement is in process of being car
ried out The second has been with
drawn, and Mr.. Shellworth stated
that not only would the company not
ask to have any land in the city taken
out, but they would ask to have more
taken in. The third proposition is up
to the county commissioners and will
no doubt be settled satisfactorily in
a very short time The old road is
still being used, but right of way has
been secured for a new road on the
south side of the railroad and as soon
as the freezing weather is over will
be graded and made ready for travel.
The meeting was largely attended
and was an enthusiastic one. A
spirit of cooperation was shown that
will be conductive to splendid accom-
plishments and undoubtedly pleasing
to the B.-P Company.

Cnmpany to Build.

At this meeting, Mr.. Shellworth
stated that his company had taken
an option on the Cobban tract north
of the railroad and already owned
the Martin tract Here the company
will build the cheaper houses that will
house the laboring classes. Assur-
ance was given that no commisaary
or company stores would be maintain
ed. This assurance, as well as the
building of the company houses on
these tracts, is contigent upon the
building of a sewage disposal works
that will be ample for sewer sys-
tenn for those tracts.

Postal Receipts Increase.

That Emmett is forging steadily
ahead is shown by the splendid in
crease of the postoffice receipts for
1916 over those of the previous year.
A comparison by Postmaster Riggs
shows a net gain during 1916 of
s7O2.5S. The total receipts for 1916
were SS251.5S. Those of 1915 were
$7549. Emmett is now third class
office, but there is no doubt that it
will pass to the second class by the
middle of this year.

OVERTCRES MADE VENEZUELA
FOR MARGARITA ISLAND,
OFF COAST.
U. S. TAKES STAND
Success Would put Germans In
STRIKING Distance OF
Camel.

Washington, June 2.--Reports
have reached the Government from
sources considered reliable that Ger
many is attempting to gain control of
the Island of Margarita, off the coast
of Venezuela. for use as submarine
base. The State Department has
forwarded the information received
TO Venezuela for the consideration of
Venezuelan officials.
The exact nature of the advices Is
withheld. but officials permitted 1t to
become known today that the report
had caused some concern here. They
indicated that they had positive con-
firmation of overtures designed to Sc
cure control of the island but that
they we're uncertain whether the
effort had met with any degree Of
success.
officials do not believe that the
Government of Venezuela would be a
party TO any such alienation of terri
tory even tho temporary. Venezuela
Is one of the South American Gov
ernments that have Joined in pro-
testing against submarine warfare as
conducted by Germany, altho her
technical position remains one of
neutrality.
II has been known by the American
far no hot
German Influences have been actively
AT work in Venezuela that indirect
if not direct means have been used
by agents of the Kaiser to secure
popular and official sympathy.
II is suggested here that Venezue-
las accession to the German over
lures in the case of Margarita is
rendered very unlikely by the fact
that Venezuelan officials could not
fail to realize the seriousness of pass
age of the island TO the control of an
enemy of the United States. II is
pointed out that the cession even tho
temporary would be a clear violation
OF the Monroe doctrine and would
undoubtedly call for energetic and
prompt opposition by this govern
ment.
Margarits is off the northern coast
of Venezuela. near the southeastern
corner of the Caribbean Sea and
within striking distance of the Pana-
NAL Canal II is about 500 miles
from Cnlebra and 1000 from Colon.
Its adjacent waters. including the
Gulf of Carioo, would make II ad-
mirably adapted as naval base.
