C. (
Moore is Father of the Hill
iiig Us Passage and Location of School.
Active in Secur -1
A carefully prepared bill was handed j
to the legislature on Monday by Repre-1
sentative O. C. Moore of Fremont county. |
The measure asks for the establishing |
and maintaining of an industrial !
school for the car« 1 , protection, training I
und education of dependent and neglect
ed children. Mr. Moore made the fol- !
lowing statement to a Statesman re
porter last Saturday:
"Senator Heath and myself have been
working on this bill for several weeks.
We have compared onr ideas with those
of others engaged in reformatory work,
searched the laws of other states bear
ing on the matter and incorporated in
the bill many features of the measure
prepared by the Federation of Women's
( dubs of the state.
"The urgency for the erection of a re
form school is pitifully illustrated in
the case of the lb-year-old girl recently
convicted in Moscow for the stealing of
j a horse and lmggy and sentenced to a
j term in the state penitentiary. The
state is big enough and wealthy enough
to care for such children, and there
I should be no hesitation on the part of |
j the legislature in taking steps to found
S an institution tor the purpose. The tirst
j cost of the school will, of course, be con
siderable, but it should lie almost self
sustaining thereafter if properly con
ducted.
"In the bill which I expect to intro
duce on Monday, provision is made for
I the commitment, control and discharge
of juvenile offenders When any boy
or girl of sane mind, bet ween the ages
I of 8 and 18, shall be convicted by any
I judge of the district court, justice of the
j peace or police magistrate for any crime
except murder or manslaughter, the |
court or judge may, if the accused he a !
proper subject therefor, cause an order
to bo entered for the commitment of
such criminal to the industrial school.
"Onr plan is to build the school in an
agricultural community on a plot of
ground not less than 300 acres in ex
tent. with permanent water rights.
"The girls and boys are to be segre
gated and housed in buildings erected
on different parts of the farm on the
cottage plan, and not more than 25
will be allotted to any one cottage,
This plan has been tried elsewhere and
found to work successfully.
"The management of the school is to
be under the board of trustees and the
course of study will be formulated by
the state superintendent of public in
struction. In addition to this course,
the boys are to have agricultural and
industrial education, and the girls will

installed Officers.
The public installation of the officers
elected for the insuing term took place
last Saturday evening at the Masonic
hall under the directorship of Deputy
Grand Master Geo. Harrigfeld, The
officers installed were: John Pratt, N.
G. ; James G. Gwinn, V. G. : Fred W.
Rising, Rec. Sec.; D. L. Blevins, F. Sec. ;
'A. F. Yearian, Treas. ; M. E. Jamison,
W. ; J. F. Shoemaker, ( ion. ; Ed ( 'arey,
I. G. ; T. ( Combs, O. G. ; G. C. Bower
man, R. S. N. (t. : A. Fultz, L. S. N. G. :
Dr. Clark, R. S. Y. G. : Lee Borrows, L.
S. Y. G. ; Geo. Swartz and W, M. Gray,
S. H. : W. S. Wilson, Chaplain,
After the installation ceremony a
short program was rendered which was
highly appreciated. The banquet tables
were spread and the throng began de
vouring the good things to eat at about
11 o'clock. This part of the program
lasted until about 1 o'clock, when it ap
peared that all were sufficiently filled to
retire for the evening.

arrived here last week with his family
' and effects, and intends to make this i
! his future home. He is a brother in j
law of ('. H. Karlson of this place. Mr. j
Farmer is a first class brick and stone j
'mason and builder. A mechanic of |
i this kind is what Parker lias needed for
years, and we have no doubt but what
Mr Farmer will find plenty to do in j
tlie building season. ' :

and child are getting along nicely.

"The V ill provides for the issue and
sale of bonds to procure money for the
erection, equipment and permanent
maintenance of the school, and for the
setting aside of certain public lands for
the creation of a permanent mainte
nance fund.
"The people of Fremont county have
been watching this move for four years
and we have good reason to ask for the
school at this time and for its location
in Fremont county. We expect to give
it onr attention until it is settled, and
we think the people of the state demand
it. now.
The women's clubs of Idaho, and
especially the Columbian club of Boise,
bave rendered us valuable aid and
counsel in onr labors, and we feel very
grateful to them for their support.
With the sentiment of the women of
Idaho in our favor, we should have no
difficulty in passing the measure.
It is as Representative Moore says,
not the proper thing to commit a 1(>
| year-old girl to the state penitentiary,
but in the absence of a reform school
there was no alternative in the case
cited by Mr. Moore—a rather sad com
ment upon our state and its method of
the morally unfortunate. That there
is a crying need for the institution which
Mr. Moore's bill contemplates, will be
admitted by everyone who is acquainted
with the facts in the case and is famil
iar with the true situation, and that the
same should be located in Fremont
county cannot be disputed. Fremont
is one of the largest counties in the
state; has over 10 per cent of the school
| population of the state: has excellent
! railroad facilities and is as accessible as
any other county; has unlimited agri
cultural resources, developed and un
developed; is increasing its population
and wealth more rapidly than any other
comity of Idaho or perhaps of the west:
has energetic, progressive citizens that
will insure the success of any industry
or institution that may he located in the
county. Fremont can assure the state
j that if the proposed industrial school is
located here, as it should be, that her
j citizens will guarantee the success of
! the institution. We challenge any
county in the stale to a comparison with
ns in the matter of climate, resources,
development, energy or anything that
goes to make up a deserving community.
Let us join Messrs Moore and Heath in
this matter and see that this needed in
stitution is established, and established
where it belongs—in Fremont county.

Rules of Pensions.
The Oremm Short Line Railroad com
pany has now completed its plan for a
pension system and the hoard of pen
sions for the road lias been organized as
follows: Vice-President Bancroft, chair
man : General Attorney Williams Gen
eral Superintendent t'alvin, Auditor
McNitt, Supt. Dunn and < 'hief Surgeon
Pinkerton. G K. Smith has been ap
pointed secretary of tlie board.
As some obscurity seemingly exists
among tlie men as to the details
of the pension, tin* official rules
just published will tie of interest.
Among the rules are the following:
" All officers and employees who have
attained tlie age of seventy years shall
be retired. Such of them as have been
twenty years in the service shall be pen
sioned.
"Locomotive engineers and firemen,
conductors, flagmen, train baggagemen,
yard masters, switchmen, bridge fore
man, section foreman and supervisors,
who have attained the age of sixty-five
years may be retired Such of them as
have been twenty years in tlie service
shall be pensioned when retired
"Officers and employees between
sixty-one and seventy years of age who
have been twenty years in the service,
and who have become incapaciated,
I I11!( y be retired and pensioned."
' By this time it, will beseen that a per
| gon ,
j certain employees may be retired and
: 1)ftnHinI1 ed at sixty-five, but ali who are
I son cam retire on a pension at sixty-one
j years of age provided lie is incapaciated.
