BOISE COUNCIL VOTED $1,000.
VIII BE Added to Fund Raised for
Entertaining Irrigation Convention.

The city council last evening voted
the sum Of $1,000 for the proper en-
tertainment of the guests of the city
at the time of the fourteenth annual
session of the National Irrigation con-
gress in this city September 3-S, says
the Boise Statesman. This action was
taken upon the request OF a commits
tee from the Commercial club, and
there was not single dissenting vote
when the roll was called on McLean's
motion to make that donation TO the
fund to be raised for the irrigationists
w. T. Booth. vice. president of the
Commercial club, acted as spokesman
for the committee. Boise had been
trying for a long time to secure the
irrigation congress, he stated, the
predecessor of the present council
having spent about $1,000, the sum
now desired for its entertainment, in
ing for Boise. A party Of Boiseites
had gone to Portland last year, and
captured the meeting for Boise. Be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 was now
desired for the entertainment OF the
congress. over $4,000 bad been
spent at Ogden, but it was believed
less could be made to do. The county
had given $500.
Hubbard approved Of the PROPOSE
ton of donating $1,000 for the con-
gress. He had helped Booth in the
fight for the meeting at Portland, and
knew 1t was hard fight against Den
that 1t was not country village" as
had been charged at the time. He
thought everybody should unite in
caring for this big event for Idaho.
The vote was then taken, and the do
nation made unanimously.

The Use of Qufninc.

People who suffer with the liver and
who get run down In nerve strength
sometimes complain that quinlne does
them no good, says a physician. The
reason is this: When quinine passes
into the intestine it Is acted on by the
bile and forms with 1t salt that Is
soluble only in a great excess Of bile,
SO 1t passes out Of the system without
entering the blood at all. To prevent
this bilious persons ought to clear out
the bile by good liver pill or a saline
purgative before the quinine Is taken
Even when the liver is not affected II
is always best to take such medicines
before using quinine.

When the work of correcting the pa
pers in the recent eighth grade exam
ination held throughout the county,
was completed Saturday evening, II
was found out Of Ill who took the
examination, but 64 were successful.
This is an unusual number of failures,
and the fault Is said to rest largely
with the teachers In the country dis
tricts, where sufficient work was not
insisted upon. In two districts all
those taking the examination failed.
Under the rules a student to pass must
obtain an average grade of so, and not
fall below 70 in any particular
branch.
Miss Meta Johnson, of Milton, re-
ceived the highest grade of any pupil,
her average being 95 1-9, while Miss
Bessie Young. of the same place, was
second with a grade of "a SO.

A big business deal was closeed up
Saturday night, by which the Power
Mercantile company became the owner
of the entire stock of dry goods, car

kinds belonging to the Ross Mercan-

the undesirable portions were closed

Quoted by the Ross company
Manager w. D. Symmes, of the Pow

now busily engaged in going over the

be made shortly, and the sale will be
the biggest one of the kind that has

COMMISSIONER
MAKES RULING
MATTER OF IMPORTANCE TO SET.
TIERS IN MAKING ANNUAL.
PROOF.

The commissioner of the general
land office has just made ruling that
will be of general interest and much
importance to settlers. The ruling is
made in the matter of the third annu-
al rroof of A. B. Mckinney on desert
land entry No. 2080. One of the items
included in the expenditures is for
plowing, discing, narrowing and scat
tering oats on 20 acres of the tract,
and the total expenditures are Jumped
at s437.5O. This is not satisfactory to
the commissioner for the reason tnat
the different items are not stated, and
it therefore cannot be determined
what amount is claimed on account OF
the narrowing, discing and seeding.
Commissioners View Of It.
The commissioner states that while
the amount expended for breaking OF
first plowing the ground may be con
sidered as an expenditure for its
permanent improvement within the
meaning of the law, its plowing, disc
ing, narrowing and seeding to oats u
acres for the production Of a crop can
not be so considered, that being an
investment which does not go to the
improvement of the land, but will bs
presumably repaid by the harvest

A Concern That Does Things.

Saturday, March 31st, was rather a
Easy day for the Power Mercantile
Co. In addition to selling at retail
over $500 worth of goods, they sold
the Cruise ranch their spring order,
which runs into the thousands. They
have not estimated how many wagons
it will take to haul the merchandise
cut to the N-Bar ranch, how many
drivers it will take, nor how many
dogs each driver will have, but Cruise
said he wanted good quality this
year and he will get it.
AS climax, towards evening the
manager of the company closed deal
with the Ross Mercantile Co. for their
entire stock of dry goods, ladies
