Al Chance OF the Boise-Payette Lum-
ber company read citations from
Numerous oregon Supreme Court de-
cisions upholding the right to have
platform scales on streets and tho he
did not say 80 the reference was
drawn that the company would con-
test the removal OF the scales
With that idea In mind Council
man Coekrum amended the motion
TO read nye days instead OF two
weeks, This finally passed with all
the eouneilmen save A. @. Moore
voting In favor OF Il,
Representatives OF the Federal
truck company from Caldwell we're
present and presented a proposition
for the sale OF a fire truck TO the city
on an installment plan, No action

Is an oil station in the center OF the
city.
After further debate the matter
was settled temporarily by adoption
OF the motion to refer the matter "a
the State Fire Marshall.
But before this was done Mr.,
Moore gave voice to the following
comment; Ontario reminds me OF a
bunch OF birds sitting on a fence al
ways looking for another bird to
come in and help increase the num-
ber; but never doing anything to aid
the birds that are already inside the
fence"
Thru a long evenings debate the
Council determined that for residents
on the edge OF the city to connect
with a city sewer a charge OF 500
will be made. This was done in re-
sponse TO the request OF Jos. schall
for such connection.
Considerable time was spent in
considering how to heat the room
used by City Engineer o. A. Kratz.
Judge Stearns said that II the heat
ing plant was compelled to heat the
upper floors OF the city hall he could
grow oranges in his office, while IL
his was Just made comfortable the
upper rooms were like a refrigerator.
The city hall committee was in
struoted to investigate the matter,
Scales up Aagin.
The council was mistaken II 1t thot
that the scales on the street question
was settled at recent meeting. 1t
appears that the motion which ord
cred the scales of the street did not
specify when they should be remov-
ed, Mayor Jones called this fact TO
the attention of the Council and sug-
gested that since the previous action
was taken when a number of the
Couneilmen were absent that the
matter be again considered and dis
posed of,
This was the signal for the setting
of Of more skyrockets when Council
man Allen asked how in the future
the Council would know when a mat
ter was finally disposed of Council
man Laxson said he did not care TO
see a precedent established of having
questions come back after the Coun-
ell had acted.
Mayor Jones agreed with this con
tention but said that a time limit
would have to be made so a motion
for two weeks notice was considered.

"The Shepherd of the HIS" the
photoplay which will be seen at the
Dreamland, Monday and Tuesday.
The rugged honesty and worth Of the
men that lead simple lives in the
sequestered Ozarks are graphically
depicted These men, tall and up
standing, are the same type as the
sturdy pine trees that reach up to-
wards the stars from the eternal
hills The same type of men who
landed upon Plymouth Rock and laid
the foundation for this land Of ours.
In this great photoplay are shown
these truly American people, living
today as their forefathers did. Men
OF giant strength and the kindliness
of children. The people in this play
really live their lives. There is no
sham. no affectation. They love,
hate and have their being all un-
conscious of the fact that they are
portraying the great drama of life
The scenic background for this great
drama Is supplied from region rich
in natures beauties and a part Of the
country which has been seldom
photographed. The play consists Of
ten reels with especial musical inter
pretations.
