NEXT TUESDAY.

The voters of the city of Weiser
will 60 the polls next Tuesday to
elect officers to preside over the
destinies of the city for the next
year. The decision of the individual
voter should be determined solely
upon the question of what is for the
best interests of the city. Personal
ties should give place to reason, and
that not from one standpoint alone.
The moral phase OF the election has
bearing, but it is not the only ques-
ton TO be considered. The present
mayor and council have inaugurated
improvements and made advance
ment along certain lines that have or
should have the commentator of
every citizen whose interests are at
all allied with those of our city. The
city owes the establishment of a
municipal light and water plant to
the good business sense of the
present officers. These men have a
complete sewerage system under way,
and the streets of the city were given
proper attention during the past
year. Further street improvement
is contemplated this spring-it being

"Meet me at the Inside Inn" That
will be the expression most frequently
heard at the LOUISIANA Purchase Exposi-
ton. This hotel is an immense struc-
ture, 400 feet wide and 800 feet long,
with 2.257 sleeping rooms, and dining
room seating $4,000 persons. The hotel
is inside the Exposition grounds. and

The hotel is in the southeast portion Of
the grounds. not far from the Plateau of
States, and to the north short distance
are the famous Cascade Gardens, Festi.
val Hall and Colonnade OF States, which
form part on the main picture of the
Exposition. Street railroads running by
the door 60 direct to the Union Railway
Station downtown, and the Intramural

from the entrance to all points Of inter-
est. Here is cool retreat. where per-
sons can find rest, enjoyment and quiet
ude away from the noise and crush of
crowds along the avenues of the Expo
sition grounds. Sightseeing at large
exposition is the most tiresome pleasure.

finds diversion by constantly changing
scenes. while the body is becoming
weary and the visitor does not realize
how tired he is until he stops to rest. The
place to rest is the Inside Inn. The
hotel rates cover the daily admission fee
to the grounds. and the registered guest
at this hotel is free from the annoyance
of pushing through the crowds at the
gates. There are $500 rooms at $3.50 per
person. 500 at $2.oo. 500 at $3.50.

bered as distinct feature Of the largest

On the other hand, the splendid eel
Gritty and admirable Judgment OF the
Japanese have crippled Russia to such
an extent that she will find 1t fmpos-
sibIe to prevent the landing Of a pow
erful hostile enemy. 1t is believed the
conditions of the land fighting to come
will approximate very closely those
that prevailed in South Africa.
It ia my firm conviction that Russia
will sustain defeat on land quite as
serious as that we have been led to
believe she has suffered on the sea.
The Japanese army is undoubtedly
better organized than the Russian ar
my, and under the conditions that will
prevail in the approaching campaign
mobility is likely to be determining
factor. War is always so uncertain
chat one hesitates to predict, but al
, the present moment it seems that ev
erything favors the eventual triumph
of the Japanese.
