BAN ON SPRINKLINC.
Drastic Regulation to Conserve
Rathdrum Water.

An unusual drain on the water
supply the first of the week so
lowered the volume in the city
reservoir Tuesday night that the
Rathdrum board of trustees took
extreme measures earlier than
heretofore in the interest of FIRE
protection, Notices were circulat-
ed Wednesday entirely prohibiting
use Of water for sprinkling and
irrigating until further notice.
This condition is said to be due
10 several causes, including short
age of snow on the mountain last
winter, filling of N. p. locomotive
tanks, and wasteful or unnecessary
day and night sprinkling and irri-
eating.
Various immediate remedies
have been suggested for the condi-
tlon, one OF winch is that Sprink-
ling and irrigating be restricted
and charge made to obtain funds
TO employ a man to enforce the
restrictions. A more permanent
remedy suggested is that the city
and the Northern Pacific railway
company unite and procure a mere
abundant supply of water.
Sprinkling is entirely prohibited
this year one month earlier than
last year, when period of restrict
ed use was allowed to intervene
before the tight ban was declared.
The N. r. company has been
asked to discontinue taking water
here for q few days.as other nearby
points are convenient for the
purpose. -,s

GET RAISE IN PAY
Railroad Men Awarded q Per
Cent Increase.

A II percent increase OF wages, add.
ing $500, 900, 900 to the payroll of the
railroads and increasing the pay of
virtually all the two million railroad
employees of the. United States, was
the award handed down at Chicago,

labor board, created under the EscL-
Cummins transportation act.
The railway bsotherhoods, who
have been threatening general
strike, had demanded an Increase
amounting to $1,000. 900, 600 and were
disappointed that the award only met
go per cent of their demands. The
belief grew, however. that the union
officials would submit The award to
referendum Of the men. w. G.. Lee
Of Cleveland, grand president Of the
Brotherhood OF Railway Trainmen,
said Tuesday 'sThere will be 90
Illegal, outlaw, rebel, sporadic or

Railroad representatives accepted
the award philosophically and imme.
diately set about plans for passing the
$500, 900, 900 addition to their wage
budget along to the ultimate consumer
lin this case the man who pays the
freight. An increase of passenger
rates from TO cents mile on
western roads is also to be expected,
according to c. G. Hart, the Wash.
ington correspondent. 1t was stated
by E. T. Whittier, representing the
more than 400 railroads involved,
that the roads would need an increase
+, of Is per cent in freight rates to meet
the wage boost.
The award fav0Ts the lower paid
employees, The yaf6men,. flremen and
helpers receiving " eseater percentage
OF the increase than will be paid the
conductors, engineers aud shop crafts.

"The power of school boards to

"The teacher has power" Mr..

are detrimental to the good order
and the best interests of the school
and for the breach of any rules or
regulations which il is within the
power of the school authorities to
adopt, whether such acts are COM

The inviting is done by our sis ter municipality few hundred yards to the West-Jersey City, Residents on the Jersey side say they have found a simple and effective method of foTIing the william landlord who would make hay whether the sun shines or not by forcing unjust rent in creases on his long-suffering tenants.
 "A few months ago the landlords over here used a. sort of go-to-he1l toward us," said an official in the of- flee of James F. Cannon, IT,, Jersey City'S Commissioner of Revenue and Finance. "Now we've got them com ing down here asking what we think a fair rent raise would be-"
 Why the change of heart and at- tftude? Jersey City says it lies in het series of rent strikes the second of which begins on March 1. Jersey City doubts not that after she has applied the strike remedy often and vigor- ously to her unjust landlords they will be completely cured of their excess profits.
 In January complaints had been many against the rapacity of Jersey City landlords. There seemed to be no remedy. Then Commissioner Gan non, a lawyer and a real estate ex- pert as well, got an idea He wen to the Mayor, explained his plan and asked if the Administration would stand behind the plan. The Mayor said it would. So MT. Cannon came out with a proclamation to the op- pressed tenants of his city

They did not go back to spend the money they had made here in this country. The Italian people who have enigrated to this country have become loyal citizens and have the best interests of America at heart. They will become
 better citizens as a fraternal and sympathetic hand is extended to them
 and as they are made to feel that
 they are welcome here to participate
 in the upbuilding of America and the
 safeguarding of American institutions,
 for which they have a heartfelt ad- miration.
 New Jersey, for instance, has a law which prohibits the paying o1 of foreigners killed through neglect or default if the widow and children l were not resident with the husband | and father in that State or resided 1 in this country.
