The Pride OF Boise.

Among the many pleasant
features which helped to make the
meeting of the late republican con-
vention at Boise enjoyable was the
kind hospitality which was exhibit

Most prominent among them were
the courtesies extended by the
management OF the Idan-ha.

That is the great flaw in the book The gist
of the opening chapter, which is entitled 1.-THE
Superstition" is in the words already quoted,
that your proper child of Caledonia believes in

the idea of using Niagaras power

There has also been wonderful pro-
