SANDSPIT1ERSPROTEST BEING CLASSEO
AS DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS
All the city dads with the ex
ception of Councilman Thomp
son, were ‘in their accustomed
seats when Mayor Diamond, re
freshed and rejuvenated by his
trip to the Hot Springs, called the
meeting to order, lhompson, as
chief mogul of the fire and water
committee was engaged, accord
ing to a statement made by Coun
cilman Loinen, in the business of
working on the fire mains, which
are slightly out of order.
The minutes of the preceding
meeting were read and approved
and the clerk proceeded to the
reading of two petitions, one re
questing that the changes and
amendments of the election act
be placed before the voters for rat
ification at the coming election,
the other from residents of the
Sandspit who protested against
being taxed for their property
when the city by its own act and
intent had cast off that section of
the townsite, by passing an ordi
nance requesting congress to al
low that portion of the townsite
to return to the public domain.
The Sandspitters claimed that
they were deprived of the bene
fits of the municipality in the way
of police and fire protection,
lights etc., and also had no direct
communication with the city yet
were visited with the indignity
of having their names included in
the published list of delinquent
■ «r-i ii-! Mi.* — --:
jtjax payers. The petiton, after
reciting their complaint request
ed that such ’ proceedings be
suspended pending a definite
Settlement of the status of the
Sandspit.
Chairman Lomen of the police
committee announced that Police
man VVm. Dougherty had resign
ed from the police department on
the 13th inst and that the city
was getting along for the present
without the services of a special
patrolman. He said that the com
mittee had decided that no new
appointment would be made ow
ing to the near approach of the
term of office of the next coun
cil, adding that the firemen are
doing patrol duty at present
Claims and accounts in the sum
of S44 were read by the clerk and
referred to the finance committee
and bills approved by that com
mittee in the sum of $74.23 were
ordered paid on motion of Leh
mann, seconded by Lomen. Un
der new business Lomen referred
to the petition from the Sandspit
ters stating tl\at he was of the
opinion that it brought up some
thing illegal and he therefore
moved that it be referred to the
law and ordinance committee. It
was so ordered.
On the suggestion of City At
torney Hobbes, the council then
took up the matter of the election
petition and on motion the clerk^
as instructed to comply with the
request of the petition by placing
the question in proper fofm On
the official ballots. *
Council man' Lehmann stated
that it was time for the council
to appoint an auditor for the city
books and offered the name of
Charles Milot for the position
Councilman Ross nominated Jas.
Stokes but was informed by
Burgh that Stokes had with
drawn. Mr. Milot was then elect
ed.
Burgh then moved the appoint
ment of election officials and, af
ter some discussion as to the
proper procedure, each one of the
councilman named one person
with the result that J. G. Wanger,
J. J. Stokes and Robert James
were named the judges, Mrs. W.
D. Chace and John A. Wilson,
clerks and Dr. Wesley, special of
ficer at the polls.
Councilman Lomen brought up
the matter of the city improving
the children’s playgrounds on
Barracks square by placing
thereon a quantity of steel play
ground equipment and moved
that the city expend a sum not
to exceed $100 therefor. The mo
tion was lost for want of a sec
ond.
The council then adjourned

FILM PICTURES RIVALING
DETECTIVES
I

_<_
Detectives are now finding a
strong rival in the cinemato
graph. Not so long ago a youth
gained injuries in a street car ac
cident, and his relatives sued the
company for $40,000 damages on
the ground that it resulted in the
young man being paralyzed.
However, the lawyer, acting on
behalf of the corporation, had his
suspicions and did a bit of de
tective work on his own account.
When the case was brought on
he produced a series of films as
evidence- These revealed the
youth in question winning a
walking and boxing match at the
local sports grounds after the ac
cident occurred. Needless to say
the young man lost the day.
A Russian peasant and his wife
paid their first visit to a picture
theater, when to their mingled
amazement and surprise they rec
ognized their long-lost daughter
in one of the pictures. The wo
man fainted and her husband
hastened to get behind the screen
fully expecting to find his now
grown- up girl. Before he could
oe convinced of his mistaken illu
sion, the exhibitor had to have
the curtain taken down. Then
the peasants were put in touch
with the film producing company
and, like on the films, there was
a happy reunion.
In England recently, when one
part of the country was in the
throes of labor riots, a film com
pany dispatched operators to rec
ord the happenings The films of
this notable event were shown at
| the local motion picture theaters
a few days later, and in the audi
ence were some of the rioters
themselves, who gloated in shovv
ing their friends the destruction
to property they had done. Lit
tle did they think, however, that
the protectors of the law would
have had the foresight to see the
condemning motion pictures on
the day after. They had no evi
dence previously, but they were
soon able to pick them out
through the films’ aid and their
arrests came as a surprise to
them.—Picture Progress.
IDAHO KEPT WARM
BY ELECTRICITY
The government is selling elec
tricity for heating purposes at
astonishing low rates in the
thriving Idaho towns of Rupert
and Burley, where three out of
every four buildings and homes,
large and small, are being heated
by electricity. Current for $1 to
$1.25 per month per kilpwatt of
capacity is being suppled as a
by-product from the govern
ment’s water power plant install
ed by the reclamation service on
Minidoka reclamation project.
The^>runaryjnn^ppse of the^plant^
located at the diversion dam on
the Snake river near Minidoka is
t-> pump water for the irrigation
of about 50,000 acres of land too
high to be covered by gravity
canals. The water has to be lifted
about 70 feet, and to do this 10,
000 horse power are required
during the summer irrigation sea
son. In • winter, however, the
greater part of this power would
be wasted were it not for the de
velopment of .-electric heating, and
this accounts. for the low- rates
charged by rhe government for
power. The revenue from heating
would show a loss if heating were
the only purpose of the plant.
Sold as a by-product from an in
stallation required for other pur
poses electric heat is helping to
carry the cost of operation as well
as serving the couse of conserva
tion.—Washington report
