Increased advertising has forced
the Peak to All eight page paper.
Our business men are cognizarl It of
the fact that the Peak has the
largest circulation of any paper
published in the county, and the
result obtained through we'll
circulated newspaper is far better
than to send circulars at a lhrge
expense through the mails I'd an
out-of-dat and incorrect mailing
list. The best and most enterpris-
ing citizens of the county take the
official county paper and that is the
class of citizens that the advertiser
desires to reach. Through the
advertisements of newspaper is
reflected the business enterprise of
a town. If your firm name never
appears in the local papers e. cept
i'll a complimentary personal, your
firm is little known outside of the
loafers who white on your front
sign, and sit around because it is
nice quiet place.

acquainted WITH the 1dCtS.
Such methods cast a shadow on
the official character and purity OF
the office and cause murmur-
ings, and these murmurings
reached the Republican executive
committee, who see and understand
the danger attending such matters,
called attention thereto, but are
in effect informed that public
Office is private graft and not a
public trust. This made stronger
measures necessary and That
Resolution came forth, but in
vain; little stronger means
appeared necessary and the matter
was brought before the convention,
which ratified the action of the ex-
ecutive committee. And so the
matter will continue though tenn
pered with mercy until the proper
ear is reached, otherwise the party
will be classified at the polls.
That Resolution was not a
sudden upstart nor thing sought
after by the committee, but a rumb-
ling of deeper significance and was
forced upon the committee and
could not be downed by it. If
Mr.. Thomas is not bigger than the
party who made him, the matter
should be investigated and things
set right.
If the official transaction on
which the Peak made comment
occurred by accident or crept in
without fault, an explanation could
readily adjust it in a satisfactory
manner, but no explanation has
been attempted though more than
two years have elapsed.
1t is this interloper, The
Chronicle" that now seeks recog-
milton from honest people, and pro-
claims harmony from the house
tops.

Col. Allan Miller of Grange ville
came down to the Republican con-
vention and has been spending a
few days in this part of the state.
1t is understood that the Colonel
would not object to the nomin alton
for lieutenant governor on the Re-
publican ticket. The co 1ven-
ton could go long distance and
do no better. Col. Miller has been
hard fighter for the Republican
party for number of years and has
nevre been an aspirant for any
Office until the last session of the
Legislature when he was chosen
chief clerk of the senate. He will
be remembered by many Idaho
Falls people as "The Irish Orator. I"
Idaho Falls Register.
Col. Miller came up this way
Tuesday and is a guest at the
Riverside Hotel this week, He
is a very enthusiastic Repu blican
war horse and the Peak would like
to see the Colonel honored with
the lieutenant-go vernorship. 1t is
as the Register says, the Colonel
fought hard and long for the success
of the Republican party in Idaho,
and has done it without having his
hand out at all times.

1T is to be hoped the lesson
taught Fremont county Rfpubli
cans at Pocatello this week will
have a salutary effect, Whether it
will or will not remains to be seen.

for the last several years that Re-

THAT CHINESE COOK.

The Republican party of Wallace
and of Idaho has demonstrated its
friendship for the laboring people
twice during the past week. The
party here wants to cut the salary
of city employees and Governor
Morrison has just been compelled
by public sentiment to discharge
the Chinese cooks at the soldiers
home installed under his admins
tration. The cry by that party of
protection to American labor" has
always been fraud and time and
acts of Republican officials demon
strate it.-Caldwell Tribune.
The above allusion to the Chin
csc cook employed at the Soldiers
Home gives opportunity for us to
publish statement made in the
Peak Office several weeks ago by a
leading Boise Democrat, Mr.. Sher-
man G. King, general agent for
Idaho, for the Fidelity & Deposit
company of Maryland. Mr.. King
visited this section of the State
shortly after the "Chinese cook
had been employed by Governor
Morrison and about the time the
Capital News was Kissing and fus-
ing about the conduct of the Re-
publican Governor and the attitude
OF the Republican party toward the
laboring class. We asked Mr..
King for his opinion in regard to
the employment of Cinnamon at
the Soldiers Home and he said in
substance that the Governor was
compelled to employ Cinnamon
because it was almost impossible to
secure the services OF competent
white cooks at the Home. The
clamor OF the Capital News was
simply political bunco, and
calculated to injure the Governor
without respect for the true status
of affairs. Mr. King said that there
always had been trouble at the
Home with the cooks; they would
get drunk and neglect the inmates,
causing much anxiety on the part
of those whose duty it is to see that
the old veterans are properly cared
for.
So, it seems, according to Mr..
King 5 opinion, and we take it that
he knows whereby he speaks, that
this political rot is to be used as
campaign thunder against Governor
Morrison. We want our readers
to note now, before the 'heat of
battle, that Nh King is all arden,
Democrat and is opposed to the
policy of the Democratic organs in
connection with this matter and be
it remembered from now on that
the Chinese cook question at the
Soldiers Home has been purposely
nisrepresented to the people an(

Dark blue, brown and gray may all
be used for children if some bright
color is used for the trimming. If
the original color of the material is

bright color. Red is a favorite color

Dresses for Little Tots.
AUNT. JENNIE.

Dear Aunt Jennie All through
the warm weather the tiny tots in
their bright dresses have seemed like
butterflies fitting about the green
lawns, and now that the autumn
tints are showing in the woodlands,
and cool days call for warmer gar
ments, it is time to consider what
they shall be.
The bright colors are no less de-
sirable with a background of somber
brown or the feecy snow that comes
later, and the beauty-loving eyes of
the children are never satisfied with
the more sober colors.
If new cloth is to be used, it is an
easy matter to select pleasing c%olors,
but it is not always as convenient
in using material that has been used
before. The best parts of dresses
that have been discarded by the
mother or older sister may be used
with good results if it is first made
to look like new cloth. This can be
done by washing the material in

Grafton of young people who r in

suits which confer simple enjoyment,

men are to blame for some things,

men are to blame for some things,
but we cannot cook without fire.
Dc the men do the milking at
your house? If they do, I know that
they will have a nice shed and some
arrangement SO that they will not
have to wade in slush half shoe
deep in the cow lot this winter. I
know that our women are brave and
usually face life's duties unfinching-
ly, but there is no woman who is
compelled to milk in the open lot
without a shelter and her feet imbed-
ded in filth, who does not wish that
she was a man-for awhile at least;
then she could remedy the evil in
stead of being obliged to endure it.
A manly man will not subject his
wife or daughters to such humilia-
ton when he can easily avoid it.
Look up the cow lot plan in last
weeks Progressive Farmer.
Last year we advised warm houses
for the chickens, and one young far
mer built a nice new house for his
and forgot to provide sufficient ven
tilation. When the fowls began to
die, he was told to knock off a few
planks on the top of the house and
found that was all that was needed
and he lost no more fowls. Of course
animals are not so cold-natured as
we are, but that they do suffer from
cold in our climate unless properly
protected we know to be a fact, and
therefore we trust that you will be
considerate of them this winter. A
bony horse or COW is a poor adver-
tisement for your farm and of you
as a farmer.
Mrs. Merryman comes to Us from
DeLand, Fla, this week, and we are
delighted to have her with us and
welcome her as one of us.
There are several who contribute
to our department who insist that we
run free advertisements for certain
proprietary products owned and adj
vertised extensively by moneyed cor
porations able to pay for said ad-
v-ertisements, and we hope that the
innocent writer's of such letters will
not become offended with us when
they fail to see their letters in full
in this department, as free adver-
Using is not our forte.

Dear Aunt Jennie = is the
time for tramps across the meadows
and over the sun-olinted hills, and
L am enjoying it to the fullest ex-
tent. The tender browns, the soft
yelows, branze, purple, orange and
green's, all blend in such perfect
harmony as never brush of artist
could attain.
What is that I see in the distance?
1t seems the entrance to some royal
estate The two giant golden posts
are our W native naples in au-
tumn's robes of state and the gate
is insignificant under brush inter
laced with a crimson creeper.
The scarlet sumac CLEANS like
camp-fres at interval along the road
and the small black-gum trees wave
their crimson flags at every ap-
proach to the heavily-timbered for
est. Our own persimmon trees stand
in their DIGNITY, clothed in subdued
combinations of yellow, brown, green
and black and quietly invite us to
inspect their store of future sweet
fruit.
Nature never makes mistakes in
her blending of c%olors, and the eye
tires of autumnal slpendors.
How F1ong to transfer her harmony
to canvas! But alas! mortals are in
capable of blending as the Master

A Word o Babies.

Too much food and too little
nourishment is doing a great deal
of harm to many little ones For
infants who must be "bottled," milk
diluted with barley-water, a grain
of salt and a pinch of sugar added,
given lukewarm from an absolutely
clean bottle and nipple every two
hours (never oftener), is, / consider,
a perfect food, and a fat, jolly baby
will result. But common sense must
be used. A mother can soon tell
whether her baby cries from hunger
or from overlooking. Don't ask
any one; judge for yourself.
For children the simpler the meals,
the fewer sweets, candies and unnces-
~saries, the better. For breakfast in
the summer give them bread and
butter, milk, sliced tomatoes or any
fresh fruit but oranges, which would
not agree with milk. Pineapple is
indigestible, though the juice is good.
In winter give porridge, and be
sure it is well boiled and that too
much sugar is not added. The por-
ridge may be made from oatmeal,
rolled wheat, cracked wheat, hominy,
corn-meal, bread TK11aL1tk~0fs ICED
bananas Ono purgative medicine is
ever needed if fruit be given in
mornings when necessary. On Sun
day an egg, poached or boiled.
For dinner give any meat but
pork, soup or fish, all vegetables
Except corn), a plain pudding, no
pie or boiled paste.
For tea give bread and butter,
milk or cocoa, occasionally preserve,
maple syrup, rhubarb or honey.
The more moderation is exercised
in eating, the better. The food
should be plain, good and appetizing,
and the children should be given all
they want.
IF children's appetites are not
spoiled by sweets they will enjoy ev-
erythine put before them.-October

think" / wish to remind you that
cold weather is coming. I know that
the whistle of the October breeze
is as jolly as that of a boy coming
home from school; but the boy us
usually hungry, and if there is moth
ing cooked, his whistle loses its zest
and there is sadness or disappoint-
ment in its vibration. Now, if we
do not prepare for winter, we may
not have the time or inclination to
whistle.
Are there any broken panes in the
windows that the wind can steal
throughQ
Are the chimneys all right, or had
you forgotten to fix that Fireplace
in the back room where the hearth
sunk several inches last winter2
By the way, you know that the
roof leaked just a little when we had
hat last hard rain. Well, roofs have
a very provoking habit of leaking
more and more every time it rains
so a few shingles may fix it now,
while it will require many if you
put it off.
Have you stored the winter wood
and is it where it will keep dry? Re
member the good wife must have
three edible meals every day (this
you have a perfect right to expect)
but let me tell you, that no woman
can cook with wet or green wood and
keep her temper. She may not let
you know it; but she does get pro-
voked in spite of her efforts to stay
calm, and / think that she has a
perfect right to feel neglected if
you do not see that she has a sufici-
emit quantity of wood, and that wood
seasoned and put where it will stay
dry.
I have never said very much about
kindling for quick fires because we
can buy a patent "kindler" here in
town which answers every purpose
for which it was intended; but not
so in the rural districts, therefore
I beg that you see that there is
kindling, good, fat kindling, always
ready. Let me tell you men a secret:
if you want your wife to wish herself
home again, unfettered by matri-
monial claims, you just stay in bed
and let her get up in a cold room.
