i When | got up this morning Monday
met MIR. Helman, the organizer for tn
| Anti saloon League, and he quoted tn
mayor Of Pocatello as authority for tn
statement that we are degenerating a
Blackfoot. I didn't ask him Just wha
| that meant, but it is plain that there ar
4 two kinds OF irrigating done at every
town on the line. This item had moth

but up the street q little farther ! me-
i Il. n. Jones talking up the beauties O
Bingham county to Mr.. Maxon, the Ma
tional secretary Of the Irrigation Con

to invest in Carey land.
When went to the pavilion where
the exhibits were, found Charlie Moore
land some others from st. Anthony put
ting up their exhibit, and Mrs O. F.
Smith and Mrs. Chas. johnson very
busy with the exhibit from Blackfoot
getting it in position. ! rubbered around
to see what Mr.. Smith and Mr.. johnson
we're doing, but decided they had gone
to the congress. ! went down to the
place Of meeting and got seat. On the
way down saw Senator Hepburn. the
author Of the pure food bill, greet Mr..
Bergman, and say, "Why Mr.. Berry
man, you are looking quite young and
plump. congratulate you.' Mr.. Ber-
ryman responded, s"Thank you, thanks
senator. That is because / am living on
pure food" Now wasn't that happy
reioinder? Saying the right thing at
the right time is the soul fgood fellow

new?"

gong to prove that the latest church in
reference in Idaho politics came from
the Methodists and Presbyterians, and
we shall make united effort to wipe
out the pernicious influence OF the
American Party meddling with Idaho
campaigns Duvall hit me in the short
ribs, and White laughed. Then he got
confident and asked what else we were
going to do. and l winked at Dugall and
said, AN return for the work the Port
land Oregonian has done to stir up trou-
BILE between our Idaho senator's and
prospective senators, we have resolved
that any Idaho man who ever allows
himself to be interviewed or his candi.
dacy announced in the Oregonian before
il appears in the Idaho papers, is to be
ignored altogether by the Idaho papers,"
White strhck me in the short ribs on
the other side, and moved over to an
other place and tried to look pleasant
