Reform School Awaits
Signature of Governor.
Final action has been taken on the
reform school bill and it now awaits the
signature of the governor. Senator
Heath stood by Representative Moore
until the bill was out of danger and we
consider him a trump. The opposition
to the location of the school in Fremont
county brought to bear upon Senator
Heath was like throwing water upon a
ducks hack and had about the same ef
fect. Senator Heath stated in sub
stance in his able address for the bill
that the editor of the Rexburg .Tournai
didn't cut much ice in Fremont county.
Some Doings of the
Idaho Legislature.
Senator Day's local option bill No. 29
has been defeated in the committee of
the whole.
House bill No. IS by Warner, was
passed by a vote of 20 to 1. This hill
provides that a stock of goods cannot he
transferred in bulk before the vendor
issues a statement of the list of credi
tors and the amount owing them. It is
designed to protect the creditors against
dishonest merchants.
Bill No. 28 by Senator Brigham, re
ducing the tax on dogs in cities and
towns to $1, has been passed.
House bill No. 20 by C. C. Moore, of
Fremont county, creating the Idaho In
dustrial School and locating it in Fre
mont county, passed the senate Tues
day and is now ready for the Governor's
signature.
A joint memorial was presented by
Jenkins, republican leader, asking con
gress to enact legislation, control and if
necessary suppress combinations and
trusts. The memorial was passed at
once.
Wanted for Desertion,
Deputy Sheriff Ricks received a tele
gram from Blackfoot to hold Edward
Stevens, who for several weeks past has
been running a lunch counter in St.
Anthony. It is stated that about a year
ago he married a young lady in Black
foot and shortly afterwards deserted her.
About two weeks ago the deserted wife
gave birth to a baby and naturally
asked for assistance from Stevens for |
if
herself and child. He refused to help
her in any way, so the sheriff will take
care of him until the district court con
venes. It is further reported that
Stevenson has been living here in ad
ultry with his aunt. They came here
from Dubois.
Miller Released,
Sheriff Harrop returned from Idaho
Falls last Friday bringing with him
Harry Miller, who was wanted here for
forgery. The preliminary hearing was
held before Judge Donaldson in the pro
bate court in the afternoon. On account
of Miller belonging to a family whose
name never before was dragged into
court, the prosecuting witnesses re
lented and the judge released the young
man.
Hurry Home Kiefer
The Honorable Hurry Home Kiefer,
senator from Bingham county, demon
strated his friendly feeling towards
Fremont county by voting against the
bill locating the State Reform School in
this county. Fortunately for everyone
concerned, Hurry Home "cuts no ice''
either in the state senate or otherwise.

Which Shall D Be?
The Tribune desires to apologize to
the Idaho legislature for seeming to be
overcome with a desire to preach to it.
But the members will understand that
we are on the the outside and hear a
great many things which those who are
on the inside may not hear. Without
being too specific we would like to say
to them that there are influences at
work against which they cannot too
carefully guard. Governor Morrison in
his message made some recommenda
tions touching a disposition of the pub
lic funds. The idea of recommendation
was that the interest on idle public
•money should be a benefit of the people
instead of the particular officer in whose
custody the money may be. It lias be
come a notorious fact that treasurers,
both state and county, are making more
money out of daily balances than out of
tlieir salaries. This is particularly true
of the state treasurer. The governor
recommends that these balances go in
to tlie general treasury instead of into
the pockets of tlie officers. There is
certainly not an honest man in the state
who can find the least objection, yet ob
jections are being urged and the most
subtle means are being employed to pre
vent proper legislation on this subject
if lias even been hinted, by those who
professedly favor proper legislation,
that some measure should be enacted
looking to the correction of this evil but
that it should not go into force for two
years after the enactment. In other
ords they advocate that the evil has
or
on
of
at once. Of course, they do not put it
just that way and indeed they do not
mean it just that way. What they do
mean is that there was an implied
understanding with all candidates for
treasurer that existing conditions should
not he disturbed, and it is alleged that
these candidates paid their political ass
essments on that understanding. A re
publican who advances that kind of an
argument places bis party in a very un
enviable position. But there are repub
licans who will place their party most
anywhere in order to promote their own
interests or what seems to be their in
terests. We suggest to the republican
members of the legislature that down in
tlie executive office is a man whose
whole heart and soul is wrapped up in
a desire to promote the public weal. He
lias clearly and courageously marked
out the path which every member, in
his own heart, knows he ought to follow,
and every member must realize that if
he deviates from that path tin* conse
quence must fall upon him and the
odium rest upon republicanism. The
cry has been for a clean, upright admin
istration. All the ante-election criti
cisms were hurled against that which
was unclean and unjust. The time is
now at hand when the republicans must
by tlieir acts justify their professions.
If they fail, what right have they to
appeal again to the people for support V
And we wish to say right here that if
they do fail it will be because they pre
fer failure to success. If they fail it
will not be because of blind leadership
but because of tlieir own perverseness.
The republican members of the legisla
ture cannot too highly appreciate that
with them rests the hope and the in
tegrity of the party. In tlieir hands is
either the making or unmaking of ro
publicanism in Idaho. Wise and cour
A

A Splendid Investment
Many of us do not know that bad
roads are responsible for so many of
our woes because we have not thought,
says Isaac B. Potter. Some of our
farmers are patient arid many of them
are contented with these roads because
they do not know the value of a good
one. A good road is a splendid invest
ment. There was never a good road
made in any civilized country on
earth that didn't pay 100 per cent a
year on its cost.
A good road raises t he value of every
acre, invites us to market when price
are good and takes us out of the clutch
es of the commission pirates who sell
our goods behind our hacks at then
own figures, keep their own accounts
and pay us a pittance for our toil and
trouble. A good road shortens distance,
saves time, wagons, horseflesh, harness,
increases the load and lessens the bur
den and makes it possible to haul two
tons to market with the same power
that now leaves one ton stuck in the
mire.
A good road brings ns closer together,
drives ont gloom, makes neighbors of
hermits, discounts every farm mort
gage and brings joy to every community.

On Thursday, Jan. 29th, the sports of
this place formed into two parties for «
general rabbit hunt. The one party
was led by Miles Weaver, the other by
Reuben Moon, and "just as the sun
went down" the slaughtered bunnies
were brought in by sled loads and
counted. There were 500 killed by
both parties, as near as the writer could
learn.- A grand free ball was given on
Friday night following, where every
body and their friends enjoyed music
and dancing of the first order. Songs
and step-dances by Mr. Palmer were in
artistic style and served as a desert to
the free dance treat.
A telephone line will connect the en
terprising farmers of Egin bench, m the
near future, with the main line and the
county seat.

visited our school: Alfred Stanford,

iS TITLE
Pays $100,000 in Cash For Idaho
Canal Company's Property.
WILL SPEND $20,000
I N IMPROVEMENTS.
At Blackfoot on Saturday, at a special
term of the Fifth District court, his
Honor. Judge Alfred Budge confirmed
the sale of the entire Idaho Canal com
pany's property to the Idaho Canal and
Improvement company of which Mr. J.
H. Brady of this city is the president
and a deed from Receiver Rich was
made to Mr. Brady's company for the
property and the purchase price, $100.
000 in cash, was paid over.
The Idaho Canal company's property
comprises three systems of canals and a
■ontraot with the government to furnish
water for the Indians of the Fort Hall
>s ervation. There are over 550 miles of
mais and laterals and last season some
500 farmers were supplied with water
from the system. This number will be
increased to (too or over next season.
Last year crops were worth more than
$500,000 that were raised from lands
under this system of canals. When put
in proper shape the system can easily
water at least three times as much land
as it did last season.
Mr. Brady lias planned to spend at
least $20,000 in improving the property
this spring.
The property has been in litigation for
five years past and the settlement of the
lands under its canals has been much
retarded through such litigation. This
sale however, cleans up absolutely all
suits against the property and gives
perfect title to the new company. Poca
