COMMERCIAL CLUB
HOLDS MEETING
Acts on a Number of Matters of
Importance

Last evening the Occur d'Alene
COMMERCIAL club, Ltd, held its first
meeting in the year 1907. and trans
acted some important business.
Among the first things to be
brought before the club was the Occur
d'Alene Forest reserve proposition
which many Of the citizens have been
urging the club to take up with a
view Of having the reserve opened for
settlement. A letter from w. f.
Borah to Mayor Collins in reply &c
correspondence sent from this city
was read. In this letter Borah stated
that he had thought that the people
in the northern part OF the state were
in favor OF forest reserves judging from
the manner in which Senator Dubois
was supported during the past cleo
ton and was surprised to hear that
they were not in favor Of them. Mr.
Borah stated in hts letter that he
would be glad to call ON the people
Of northern Idaho and talk the mat.
ter over with them, but that his time
was so limited that he would have e
forego the pleasure, and that Mr..
Pinchot would be pleased uo call In
his place. Following the reading OF
the letter a number Of the club mem
bers expressed their ideas on the mat
ter, the general opinion being that
the letter was a sarcastic insult TO the
people Of Coenr d'Alene and vicinity
and that Borah was again lodging.
He referred strongly to the Indepen-
dent Republicans Of the past campaign
as ''boIters" and stated in a sarcastic
manner that this fact would carry
much weight in Washington.
The next matter brought before the
club was the condition OF the Cougar
Gulch road, which is almost impassa-

A liberal spirit toward the university
would greatly encourage those now in
attendance there under the present
difficulties and discomforts, and make
more certain the continuance of both
faculty and student body loyalty thus
far so magnanimously shown.
DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND.
The state board Of education during
the past year decided that better re-
suits would be secured in the care and
education of the defective children Of
the state, il state school was estab-
lished, and the former system Of
farming these children out in similar
schools in Washi gton, Utah and Col
orado was Discontinued. The plan was
determined on by the board, and the
school was opened last fall. DIR. J.
II. Watson, a man Of long experience
in the management Of such institu-
tions, having been secured for the
SUPPLEMENTARY, the school was
opened on September u, 1906.
There are now In attendance on the
school 36 children. who, ii is felt,
are receiving the best Of instruction
at cost TO the state Of much less
than was formerly spent with similar
schools outside this state.
UNITED STATES SENATOR
/ 4 republican party in convention
at Pocatello, IN its wisdom. Endorsed
the candidacy Of the Hon. W K. Bor-
ali for United States senator. This
will relieve the legislature of the con
! test that ordinarily occurs over the
election of some one to this position
of high honor aud great influence,
| frequently creating a bitter feeling
which is CARRIED through the entire
session, interfering with the passage
Of laws that are greatly needed. The
action Of the Pocatello convention
makes the performance Of your duty
in this matter very simple. The peo-
pie of Idaho are to be congratulated
on the splendid representation they
will have in the United States senate
by the election and seating of Mr..
Borah.
THE DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

can party made many important
pledges To the people. The people Of
Idaho have a right 10 expect of this

taken in drafting these measures,
Laws that are fair to both capital and
labor should be passed.
