very good for this season of the year
and even real estate which has lain in a

awakening.
Ii is a matter of general comment
among the leading citizens of Boise
how hearty and appreciative the press
of the state has been over the reception
the Merchants Union gave to the mem
bers of different conventions. This
kindly action has done more TO create a
qetter feeling on the outside for Boise
than anything else.
Governor Mcconnell is at present alb
sent from the city. Owing to the pre-
ca-ious health of. his amiable daughter

the party in Idaho has there been a

1t Is owing to the Vaccinations of
this combine that the people of Idaho
are now compelled during the present
financial stringency to pay out nearly
thousand dollars in taxes above
