Better Eauipment Needed.

The Lyons fire has again demon
strated the urgent need of improved
fire fighting apparatus, if residence
property is to have any protection
whatever. The men who pulled the
heavy hose carts over eight blocks
of muddy streets were completely ex-
hausted when they reached the scene
of the fire, and considerable valuable
time was required. Emmett, with its
widely scattered residence district,
must have better fire protection than
the present crude makeshift. 1t
should have modern motorized equip
ment. AS time is the principal item
in extinguishing fires, the cost of the
modern machine would soon pay for
itself in preventing losses. The In
dex believes the city administration
can do no better service than to pro-
vide Emmett with modern fire fight
ing equipment, and do it without de-
Law

PLAY BENEFIT GAME
SUNDAY
Regulars and All Stars to Match
Wits and Skill-Band
to Play.

Emmett fans will be given an OPP
portunity Sunday afternoon to get
line on the players who will represent
Emmett in the baseball league games
this season. 1t will be benefit game.
The finance committee needs more
funds to star the team off and help
pay for some of the improvements be-
ing made to grounds and grandstand.
The committee hopes and expects
liberal patronage. The game will
start at o'clock, and the admission
will be only 25 cents.
Manager Ralph Hayes will send in
his most promising candidates for
positions against the High school
team augmented by first team aspir-
ants for first team positions, which
will include a battery. Every man
jack of them will do his best, :. for
Hayes's eagle eye will be keeping tab
and every baeker of the team will be
keen to select the likely ones to enter
the arena in the opening league game
against Parma on the following Sun
day So you'd better be there.
The band will be there to enliven
the occasion. This will be their first
public appearance and the concert
alone will be worth the price of ad-
n1ission-and then some.
The cold weather has practically
precluded all training. Reports from
Caldwell are that "Penson has flown
the coop at the last gap and landed in
Parma berth" The grounds are in
fine shape. Toilets for both sexes,
dressing rooms for players and other
conveniences have been made in the
grandstand Emmett may easily lay
claim to the finest ball grounds and
equipment in Idaho.

Curious Eggs.

Someone who did not leave his
name left at the Index door Monday
couple of birds eggs that have at
tracted attention because Of their un-
usual markings, they having the APP
pearance of having been splashed
with dark brown paint. They are a
trifle larger than an average hens
egg. One boy says they are hawks
eggs, another says eagles, others
enumerate shitepokes and blue herons
The general opinion is that they were
laid by the larger hawks that hover
over the swamps. If anyone wishes
to set them under hen and hatch
them they are welcome to them.

White Cros. Tag nay

The ladies of the local White Cross
chapter have decided to have tag
Gay Saturday, April Is. Look out for
the boys and girls. Let everybody
get behind this great movement. Our
Protestant churches have done all too
little in the past in this fertile field
of caring for the sick and the White
Cross is trying to rally all Protest
ant organizations to it's support. 1t
is national organization, only one
year old, but it has already done more
than S50O,000 of free work and stim-
ulated the building of quite few
hospitals. 1t operates on well es-
tablished principle that small gift
from large nuni5eT I'll make a
great and far-reaching work possible.
We trust everyone win join us in this
cause.

Frank Scanlon had his hearing in
Judge Haag's court Friday and was
adjudged of unsound mind and taken
to the Blackfoot institution by an at
tendant on Sunday. Evidence was in
troduced that he had beer an epilep-
tic for 20 years, and that though he
had received treatment at several
sanitariums, he had received no bene-
fit and gradually grew worse until
the collapse occurred last week.

REFUSE PAYMENT FOR
ROCK CRUShER :
Majority of County Board Con-
tend Machine Debt Was Not
Legally Incurred.

A bombshell was exploded in the
meeting of the board Of county COM
missioners on Tuesday, when Commits
sioner Elmer Nesbitt and Ed Allen
refused to allow the bill of Portland
firm, amounting to $4415. 80 and
freight of $254.62, in payment of a
rock crusher purchased last October,
on the ground that "the machinery
was never ordered by any legal act
of this board" When the question of
the rejection of the claim was put to
a vote, Commissioner Wilhelm voted
no and Commissioners Allen and Mes
bitt yes.
Following this action, Road Super
visor Phelan was instructed to store
and protect the machinery and the
clerk was instructed to notify the com
pany of the action taken.
Commissioner Nesbitt brought up
the matter when the bill was present
ed. He stated that the crusher was
purchased without his knowledge or
consent; that the deal was closed by
the other two commissioners at the
Wilhelm ranch, at no called meeting
of the board; that the minutes of the
c'e:k contain no record Of the transac-
ton, and that the contract was Illegal
and of no binding force. Upon this
statement, and the fact that no record
of the transaction could be found in
the minutes, Commissioner Allen con-
Cured in Mr.. Nesbit's views and join
ed with him in the vote to disallow the
bill.

The proclamation of Governor
Davis calling upon all Idaho citizens
to observe the week from April 16
to April % as Fire Prevention Week
should be of especial interest to this
section of the state, where the forests
mean so much to its citizens. Aside
from their commercial value, the for
ests are the Fairgrounds and recrea-
tion centers of the people and the
conservators of the water supply of
the tributary lands that depend upon
irrigation for the growing of crops.
Newspapers generally are strong
for Saving our forests" and refor
estation, and ought to be. They con-
sumo annually in the Uunited States
wood pulp equal to 100000 forest
acres. Stretched on a single line the
width of an ordinary newspaper, the
paper consumed would make a
streamer reaching about half way
from the earth to the sun.
To the boys who got to the front
in France, the French and German
conservation of forests was an OBJ
ject lesson that will undoubtedly have
its effect in the demand for methods
of reforestation and conservation of
our own timber supply. A French for
est, or a German, consists of alter
mating rows of trees in every stage
of growth, from the youngest seeding
up to the mature trees. The latter are
constantly being hewn down for lum-
Der, but for every tree taken out
seeding is put in the ground, and as
fast as the large timber is cut the
next stage of timber becomes ready
for the axe and saw.
Michigan's white pine forests, once
among the most splendid on the globe,
have been ruthlessly destroyed, with
no reforestation, and consequently
Michigan and other states about the
Great Lakes, which generation ago
shipped millions of tons of white pine
to the South and West, are now pay
ing heavy freight charges for lum-
Der from the South and West to
Michigan. Under the French or Ger
man system Michigan's forests would
be intact today The waste of Amer
lean primeval forests has been an ex-
ample of American pride in immediate
and temporary prosperity" which
shows big for the time being, but an
example also of its carelessness of
to come after.
With examples of the destruction
of our forests by commerce and by
fires so emphatically brought before
as, every citizen of Idaho should not
only watch his own step and be on
guard against the carelessness Of
others, but he should also be a strong |
advocate of reforestation and forest |
similar to those of |
France and Germany.
Fire prevention week should last
he whole year.

Cleanup Week

This is cleanup week, and it is
hoped that when Saturday night
comes the city will be spick and span.
The citizens of Emmett are asked to
voluntarily clean up their premises
that Emmett may become clean and
sanitary. Good citizenship should
make the campaign success. We
will shirk the duty of good citizenship
if we fail to heed the appeal.
