The DeLamar Band men were COM
plimented in Boise by presentations of
numerous beautiful bouquets which
they appreciated so highly that they
were all carefully preserved and
brought home. The ladies from Silver
City led off in this happy ceremony,
.ioing the gracious act on Thursday, as
several of them were to return home
the next day. The high grade of music
rendered by the band won many com
pliments from Fair visitors aad the
gentlemanly department of the men,
bers made them many friends while
away. The members of the Boys Band
of Boise fraternized most happily with
our boys and some lasting friendships
we're struck between them.

The mines of the Rand turned out

one third of the worlds product.
1t will be a most serious matter if
Great Britain precipitates a great war,
serious to Great Britain and to the
finances of every other civilized nation,
because it will raise doubts and fears,
and they are all that the rich centers of
the world need to mako an excuse to
commence closing up their strong
boxes. The impression is general that
if war is once commenced it will be q
long one, and though the ultimate re-
suit is not doubted, the belief is gem
eral that it will not close until the very
arm of the Beers is broken and that
will be a very slow process, for they are
born fighters; they care nothing for
hardships; they can live off the rough
est food aud sleep in the open air, and
can only be subdued by the friction of
destruction.-Salt Lake Tribune.

1t has been long time between trips
through Nampa with the NUGGET man,
and although prepared to note rapid
progress in the junction city, he was
surprised to see the many substantial
evidences of prosperity exhibited.
Meeting while there such pushers as
McGee, Krutz, Mcdonald, Waldron
and Hinckey and hearing them talk
one cannot wonder that the town is
forging ahead. The splendid agricul
tural lands surrounding the place are
being rapidly transformed from sage
brush wastes into farmers beautiful
homes, with orchards, grain and alfalfa
fields showing up grandly. Nampa
ought not to let such vague and i'm
probable event as the main line going
through Boise trouble it. Nampa is on
too solid footing TO let little thing
like the prosperity of neighbor give
it any concern.

CARRIES MEALS TO wORKMEN.
How an Enterprisine Pennsyi,aaiA
hoy Is Laying the Foundations
of a Fortune,

Thomas Mintzer. 14-year-old lad Of
Conshohocken, is probably the most
energetic youngster in Montgomery
county, says the Philadelphia Record.
Through his own devices he earns SIS
a week. and only works on an average
of six hours day. His business is meal
carrier. About three months ngo Tom
my called on the employees of the differ
ent mills and offered to carry their
meals for IS cents a week. As many
of the mills are running night and day,
dinners. Most of the employees were
paying 25 cents a week for the same
service. and the boys offer was prompt
ly accepted. At first Tommy was able
to carry the dinners in a large express
wagon, which was hauled by goat,
but as he steadily gained customers It
became necessary to get large push
cart, which he fitted up with shelves.
His business finally increased so much
that he had to hire horse and wagon.
Ills customers now number 100.
In order to give general satisfaction
Tommy starts out with the dinners at
IL q. m, and delivers those that are
farthest away. He then makes a Sec
ond collection at 11:45 o'clock and, as
these customers work in mills near
their homes. the boy managed to have
all the dinners delivered by 1908 noon.
His weekly collections average $3.50,
and as he pays $3.50 for the use of the
horse ard wagon it leaves SIS clear.
which is more than some of his Oldest

A telephone message received by W.

Mr.. James Shaw, former owner of the
Cumberland mine, is apparently con-
tinuing in luck. After closing the
Cumberland deal he took a trip pros
pecting and returned as far home as
Boise last week with some very rich
specimens of ore from claim he has
located in the Little Salmon river
country. Jim is level,beaded pros
pector and an excellent judge of
mining property. We hope this late
find may turn out as rich as the Cum
berland.

The road from Murphy to Silver City
by the way of Diamond Basin and the
Scotch Bob hill, which the County
Commissioners failed to adopt and i'm
prove, is likely to be put in good shape
as far as the foot of the Scotch Bob
grade without any assistance from the
county. The new Sinker Tunnel Co.,
has announced its intention to improve
or rather to construct the road. The
Tunnel Co., will construct road to
the site of their big enterprise by build
ing from the foot of the Scotch Bob
grade up North Sinker, gradually
climbing over the ridge onto South
Sinker, at the tunnel site This will
put them several miles nearer Murphy
than Silver City is, and no summit to
cross. They will be able to get out to
the railroad nearly all winter on wheels.
Later OH they will probably be getting
their mail and do much of their trading
at Murphy.

Boise Did Herself Proud.

Boise certainly did well with her
crowd of people during Fair week.
Boise demonstrated her ability to care
for an unusually large crowd of people
With her hotels, lodging houses, restau-
rants and many prl ats dwellings
thrown open for the acc, mmodation of
visitors, al found good quarters. 1t is
seldom that such crowd is gathered
in small city with so little confusion
and so few complaints to record. The
mayor and police deserve much praise
for the good order maintained. So far
Is we learned not an arrest was made
But few noisy or Intoxicated men were
seen on the streets, and at the Fair
grounds, the best of order was main
tained at all times. The displays at
the Fair were not up to expectations,
out many of them were creditable.
Some of the racing was good and horses
won ON their merit, but jockeying and
jobbing still prevailed to an unsatis-
factory extent Wore of this discredit-
able work needs to be eliminated before
the Boise race track will be patronized
and made respectable.
THE VOLUNTEERS RECEPTION.
Was the attractive feature of the
week and helped to swell the crowd of
visitors more than any attraction at
che Fair. The uncertainty of the time
of the arrival of the train created some
confusion and prevented the carrying
out of the elaborately arranged pro-
gram. A day time reception had been
counted upon, but the train not arriv-
ing until dark did not check the en-
thusiasm with which our returning
heroes we're welcomed.
Boise made noise.
All the fraternal orders in the city
joined in the parade and the streets
were crowded. But it was simply i'm
possible to hold the home e-comers long
in line. Mothers and fathers, sisters,
brothers and sweethearts we're spied
out by the boys, and the heroes who
had held their places many times when
danger confronted them, leaped out of
line to receive the fond embraces of
loved ones. Who could blame them?
The parade had to be broken up before
an address of welcome could be ten
dered them. The program had to be
deferred and finally virtually aband-
oned. But nevertheless Bosses wei
come was great.

ceipts were over $1,000 on Thursday
