The Boise Statesman of this morn
ing contains the following article re-
garding Italian colonies which will
likely be settled on western lands:
Rev. Joseph Albarelli, until the last
few months a resident of Bologna,
Italy, now connected with the Mount
Carmel Catholic church of Denver. is
planning on coming to Boise at the
time of the meeting of the Irrigation
congress, for the purpose of advancing
a scheme upon which he has long been
engaged. That is for the colonization
of a large number of Italian agricul-
turists upon the lands of the west that
have been reclaimed from the arid
waste by the waters of the irrigation
enterprises.
Father Albareli is not decided in
just what part of the west he will To-
cate his colony, though he has been
greatly pleased with California. One
Of the objects of his prospective visit
to Boise at the time of the session of
the irrigationists is to get in touch

with them and promote his scheme by
arrangements with some irrigation
scheme to take care of his people
when they arrive.
He is more opposed to the selection
of any place in the east or south for
colonization by Italians than he is ia.
vorabel to any particular section of
the west. The movement for coloni-
zation IL the people of his nationality
is encouraged by the Italian govern
ment. which recognizes the fact that
the southern European peninsula is
overcrowded.
Father Albarelli is sending reports
of his Investigations in the west to the
"Avvenire d'Italia" of Bologna, the
most important Catholic paper in
Italy. and to the "Battaglie d'Oggi,'
Of Naples He Is also working on his
scheme in other ways, and IN a recent
issue of the Denver Post submitted t.
an interview on the subject, in the
course Of which he said
~'There has been a great deal of agi-
tation in favor of the south for oui
people, and the italian government
paid our counsel in New Orleans &c.

that the new assessment made this
year has been so equalized and made
to cover property which has hereto
fore escaped its burden OF taxes that
there will be ample revenue for the

Progress Under Prohibition.
TWENTY-FIVE years ago, when the
prohibitory law was passed, this city
had a population of $1,000 or less;
today $4,000. At that time it had no
paved streets-now so miles of as
phalt and brick paving. Then it was
unknown as a manufacturing city-to-
day it is the fifth largest manufac-
turing city in the United States, be-
ing, next to Chicago, the largest CEN
ter of the packing industry in the
world. Next to Minneapolis, It is also
the largest flour-milling city.
"All these facts don't appear to per-
tain to a city knocked out Of easy
/ street for the lack of a few thousand
/ dollars in hush money from an illegal
whiskey and beer business"

The people of Kansas City, Kas.,
are much exercised over stories which
have been sent out to the newspapers
of the country concerning the alleged
bankruptcy of the city owing to the
strict enforcement of the prohibitory .
law. City Attorney C. w. Trickett, /
who was instrumental in closing the
saloons, has given out a lengthy inter-
view in which he denies as a whole
and in each and every particular the
statements as printed.
'Tnstead Of Kansas City being dam
aged by the rigid enforcement Of the
prohibitory law, as charged, the oppo-
site is true" says Mr.. Trickett Kan
sas City today furnishes the unusual
spectacle of a metropolitan city Of
$4,000 people without a saloon, with
out gambling den, without brothel.
There has been no reduction in
the number of employees in either the
police department, the fire depart
ment or the street department, but
an increase in the latter, since the
campaign of law enforcement began.
Real Estate Has Advanced.
Instead Of depreciating property
values, the prices on residence real
estate have advanced since the clos
ing of the joints and new people are
coming here right along, many Of
them because Of the fact that the
Joints are closed. have talked with
many business men and SO far only
have found two who claimed to have
been injured in business by the clos
ing Of the joints. These two were an
Ice man and a cigar man. The ma.
jority of the people are satisfied with
present conditions and many new peo
pie are coming to the city because o.
these conditions.
City Is Strong Financially.
1.-The last annual fiscal statement o
hhi' NiNs i'i Aht yNai Aplh 4
1905, shows the total receipts and dis
bursements for the IL months to hav
been s232,s03. There was cash Of
hand to the extent OF 322,095, and war
rants and certificates outstanding I
a total Of s55,2s1, thus leaving
floating debt Of .ss.165, which is nc
a serious matter for $4,000 people t
take care OF.
"The revenue from the joints, whic
the correspondent seems to think ar
the only financial salvation for III
city, only amounted last year to s4s
1877. and this includes all fines take
in by the police court, not all Of whic
came from Joints directly.

GILT EDGE-KENDALL MEETING,

GILT EDGE-K MEETING.
Lieutenant Governor Edwin Norris
and David Hilger returned late last ev-
ening from a trip which took them to
Kendall Thursday evening and to Gilt
Edge yesterday afternoon, enthusiast
ic meetings being held at both places.
Elsners hall was crowded with peo-
pie who wanted to hear not only the
eloquent lieutenant governor of Mon
tana but also the local candidates for
office who appeared with Mr. Norris.
The meeting was pronounced, by all
to be the best held in Kendall this year
in point of number and enthusiasm
Governor Norris talked for about one
hour and his splendid address was re-
quently punctured with applause.
Charles Easel, the Kendall boy who is
candidate for the legislature was
called upon by Chairman Bernier and
created long and continued applause by
his mastery effort. The young man
tried no oratorical flights but simply
talked to the people there assembled
every one of them personal friend and
acquaintance, as man to man.
He told them what he intended to do
in case of his election and all present
knew that he would do just as he said:
For they know Charlie Easel as a
young man who is as uncorrupted as
he is incorruptible fair and well bal
anced
| H. L. DeKalb. the other legislative
candidate, was also most kindly re-
ceived by the Kendall people. Mr.. Dl
Kalb has few equals as campaign or
ator and was in good trim to talk to
the people Of Kendall. Most eloquently
did he champion the cause for which
he stands and right royalty did his au.
dience show their appreciation of his
telling words.
| Kendall will roll up a great majority
for the legislative ticket as well as for
| tiC SHllIc ucIuOCIdllC llckct.
The people of that camp want Gov.
ernor Joseph Kemp Toole to go to the
United States senate and they realize
that the only way to accomplish this
purpose is to vote for and help to elect
B. c. White, Charles Easel and H. L.
DeKalb.
The Kendall meeting was duplicated
at Gilt Edge yesterday afternoon. A
| fine crowd greeted the candidates ir
Sawyer's hall and the meeting was pro.
nounced one of the most enthusiastic
of the entire campaign in the county

only sent home with greater effect the
unfortunate campaign of deceit which

His description of the effect of the
Porter resolution concerning the inter-
ests from state monies was one of the
best pieces of sarcasm ever heard in
this city. 1t was Of especial interest to
many because the democratic nominee
for county treasurer in this county is
waging a fight on that very issue and

Magnificent Reception to the Peerless Leader of Montana
Candidates Declare Him Their
United States SenatorNorrs Makes Splendid Address.

The greatest political meeting ever
held in Fergus county was that held
last evening. at Culver's hail. The big
hall was crowded to it's utmost capacity
by the throng who gathered to hear ad-
dresses by two of the best orators in
Montana, Governor Joseph X. Toole
and Lieutenant Governor Edwin Nor
ris.
The train bearing Governor Toole
was late, not arriving until nearly 10
O'Clock, but Mr.. Norris entertained the
big crowd until the governor arrived.
A big torch light procession, headed
by the Cottonwood brass band march
ed from the city hall first to meet Gov
ernor Toole, but when it was learned
that the train would not be in until
very late in the evening, the parade
was headed back to the hall.
Hon. E. G. Worden presided over the
great meeting and filled that RESPONSE
BILE position in a most happy manner
After a brief address of welcome, he
| introduced the first speaker Of the ev-
| ening, Lieutenant Governor Norris.
Although Mr.. Norris had driven from
Kendall to Gilt Edge, where he deliv-
| cred an address to the people Of the
thriving camp and then on into Lewis
aown in the rain and snow, he was in
fairly good voice and soon had the big
crowd with him.
| After a few Introductory remarks he
| launched into a vigorous discussion. of
state issues.
Mr.. Norris gave brief history of
| the manner in which the republicans
| two years ago called an early conven-
! tion in order that they might first an
| nounce a platform following out the
| principles advocated by Governor Toole
| in his previous message to the legisa
| ture. This was not done because the
republican party leaders wanted these
| reforms but because they knew that
| there is an irresistible public demand
| for them.
| Mr.. Norris effectually nailed the mis-
statements of the republican press and
| orators concerning Governor Toole's $
veto of the railroad commission bill and
made the entire transaction perfectly
| plain, much to the discontinue of some
republican leaders present
|
While Mr.. Norris was speaking, Gov
| ernor Toole was escorted to the plat
| form by Frank ]. Hazen. AS soon as
the crowd saw the governor, pandemo-
| mum broke loose. Hundreds rose to
| their feet wildly cheering the peerless

dress and the chairman introduced

Whitman college is going to have a
glee club this year if she does not

many men are trying for positions as
have done so for several years past.
For the past two years it has been
difficult to draft club of 16 voices;
but this year already =o1 voices nave

been picked by Professor Schofield for
the purpose of harmonizing their
voices. Other combinations will be
tried and the final 16 selected will be
the pick of the musical talent of the
institution.
The way in which the club is show

think seriously of taking a trip this
year. This had been given up, but
with the present prospects for such a
fine club plans are being talked of for
trip through the Palouse country and
perhaps concert at Spokane.
