LOCAL HEALTH BOARD FINDS
CONDITIONS SATISFACTORY

Although the influenza cases in
the county have grown to large
numbers and the situation there ap-
pears serious, here in Paris, accord
ing to the Health Board, matter are
not so bad. The influenza, while
still with us, is in mild form, and
Their has been nothing near the cpl
demic stage it assumed some weeks
ago. -.
At a meeting of the Board OF
Health, held Sunday afternoon. every
phase of the situation was carefully
sifted over and discussed from every
standpoint. The conclusion arrived
at was that the situation here was
very good. and that there was moth
ing in it to cause alarm. No ban
will be placed on, as had been rumor
ed. The Board urges the public tc
use the Mayo-Rosenow serum, as q
preventative of pneumonia, which, In
many cases, has followed semi-re'
covery from the influenza, and to OBJ
serve all the necessary regulations
The Board strongly urges the people
of the city to observe the anti-spit
ting ordinance as they have found
that splitting on the floors in public
places and on the pavements of the
city has always been a most fruitful
source Of spreading the disease.

CITIZENS AND COUNCIL. AFTER
PARIS WATER CO.

Patrons of the Paris Water Com
pany were greatly displeased when
in their mail a few days ago they re-
ceived a communication from the
Water Company notifying them that
a raise of nifty per cent in water
rates would be put into effect in the
near future, but many were really
indignant when they read that a fur
Their ten per cent. raise would be ad-
ded to their bills in the future as q
war tax"
The Paris Water Company has been
operating for considerable time
without a contract with the city, the
proposed contract, which was sub
mitted to a vote of the people of the
city, being rejected last year.
Paris citizens say they have been
sorely tried by the actions of the
Water Company for a number OF
years. At numerous fires, the force
of water, it is said, was not suffici-
a second story of business houses
Numbers of families have been afraid
ito use it for drinking purposes with
out first boiling it thoroughly. Now
that the dam, which acted as a nat
ural reservoir to hold back a supply
of water, has been practically washed
away, there is every reason to be
lieTe that the people of Paris are o.
the opinion that the condition as II
a water supply here next summer
will be a serious matter, should ,
drouth prevail.
Mayor January and members o
the Board of Council have been over
whelmed with complaints from citi
zens during the past few days. an
they all demanded that something
be done. The Mayor appointed
committee composed of Councilmel
Merringer, Veatch and Kiser to TAX
the matter up with the Water Com
pany, which they did in a length
communication. Owing to lack o
space and pressure of advertising o.

ESQ S|LOS ADORN
THE. CANYON COUNTY
FARMS THIS YEAR

Nampa, Oct. 4.-There are now $50
silos on the farms of Canyon county
as against $50 last year. From the
viewpoint of yield. per acre the Boise
valley Is one of the greatest corn pro-
ducing sections in the United States,
now fast crowding the state of Iowa
and for ensilage it probably holds first
rank. A few years ago it was not
considered that corn could be grown
successfully here, but now yield of
more than one hundred bushels to the
acre Is secured on many farms in Can
Eon and Ada counties. Numerous in
stances may be given here, where as
much as fifty tons of ensilage has been
produced to the acre. The use of the
ensilage is found to materially lessen
the cost of dairying and add to it's
profit, as one ton will go further than
a ton of hay in feeding.
