ROAD BUILDING STOPS

The rock crusher that has beer
operating above Firth, supplying
rock for the Yellowstone highway
stopped operating a few days ago be-
cause of dispute over the specifica-
tions. The federal engineer is said
to have refused to approve of the use
of some of the coarse gravel because
it would not go thru the screen with
an inch and half mesh.
There was a Transfers strike last
month over the low wages, four
horse outfits with dump wagons
earning about 81 or SIS day. There
were twenty-seven teams on the
work and that was too many; they
had to lose time waiting for their
turns to load, so when they all stop
ped and it left clear field, they kept
returning to work at the old wage.
When the management had all that
could work to good advantage they
quit employing and the situation was
more satisfactory than before.

NO MORE TEACHERS INSTITUTES

A measure is pending in the Idaho
legislature to repeal the provision
authorizing the district teachers in
stitutes. Under the present law, all
the teachers in the state lay off a
week in October, an dassemble at
various places on full pay, sup
posedly to learn more about how to
teach, but really to do a great deal
of visiting and joyriding and sitting
in their rooms making Christmas
things and resting up for the dances
in the evening. A large percentage
of the teachers are not in favor Of
the institutes. do not attend any
more Of the sessions than they have
to to keep on the payroll, and are
generally dissatisfied and glad when
the week is over. They do not all
wait for the end of the sessions, but
begin slipping off for home on every
train day or two before the insti-
tute is over.

CITY COUNCIL MET

The council met on Tuesday even
ing and went over the bills and other
routine matters. The city clerk was
i'll and could not attend.
The matter of allowing the picture
shows to let people buy tickets and
enter the building and be seated be-
fore the hour fixed for the show to
start, was discussed, and all the
council seemed to agree that such
privilege was understood as attend
ing the actual commencement Of the
show at 4 o'clock, that being the
hour named in the ordinance for it
to start. The Interpretation here
tofore given that tickets could not
be sold nor the doors opened nor
seats occupied until the hour named
for the show to start, was not en-
dorsed, and the mayor and chief of
police have expressed the belief that
this technical oversight in framing
the ordinance should not be used to
embarrasS anyone.
c.. B. Moon, the auditor, is work
ing on the city books to bring them
down to date.
