ENTIRE CITY TO HAVE
SEWERS
District to Take in Remainder of
City to be Created-More
Cement Walks.

The city council, at a meeting Sat
urday night, decided to include all
that portion of the city not now hav-
ing sewer facilities in a sewer district
No. 3. 1t will include the additions in
the eastern and southern portions of
the city and the estimated cost of the
works is placed at $4,000.
Saturday night was the time fixed
for hearing protests against the
formation of Sewer District No. 8. A
few protestants appeared, but the
council decided that they were in such
small minority as to not warrant
the denial of the payer of the peti-
TONERS and the district will be Great
ed and the works installed this
spring. The sewer plat as filed was
accepted.
The D. & c. Addition will have a
little sewer district all its own, and
will be the cheapest in the city. An
order was issued instructing the city
attorney to draw an ordinance placing
D. & c. in district for the purpose
of assessing the property owners
therein for their proportionate share
of the cost Of building the sewer trunk
line under construction by the Boise
Payette Lumber company. An agree
ment has been reached whereby D. &
C. addition shall pay 35 per cert of
the cost and the lumber company 65
per cent.

MYSTERIOUS SLUCCER OF
 SEATTLE BUSY

SEATTLE, Oct. 12-The myster- ous woman slugger or sluggers of women remains as deep mystery IS when operations began several weeks ago.
 The police and federal officers and ,heriffs force, aided by committees )f citizens who organized for the purpose have been unable to stop he work of the unknown and wo- nen are terrorized. At citizens meeting a demand has been made )n the council to cut out the brush md place more lights on the streets so that the dark places may not harbor lurking criminals.
 The offer of $1,OO0 reward by the city has stimulated efforts, but so Tar has produced no further result han to cause the arrest of suspects vho were turned loose when inves- igated.
 The police are now convinced that the murder of Ruby Demerritt, whose body was found after the girl had been missing three months, in the brush, and who was last seen at a dance is not the work of the same party or parties.

 Threat.

PARIS, Oct 22-Although at frs it was believed that the visit O the Zeppelin fleet to France wa' an independent raid, and the frs step towards carrying out threa made in a German wireless message which said it had been decided tC destroy Paris in reprisal for French air raids on German towns, it is now generally believed that these eight Zeppelins were returning iron their raid over England.
 Four were destroyed or captured by the French airmen.
 It is believed that the Zeppelins lost their way in the fog.
 The raid and the loss of foul Zeppelins are widely proclaimed by French observers as being definite proof of the superiority of airplanes over Zeppelins.
 One expert says the day for Zep pelins for bombing is, over; that they will be thrown into the dis card.
 Two of the Zeppelins destroyed were brought down in flames and the other two were forced to land and the crews captured.
