Care of a Piano

Those who own n fine piano ought TO
know that the instrument Is as sensitive
to "cold feet as any invalid. and that
place too close to fire should not be Sc
ieoted, or the woodwork will SOON draw.
Neither near an open window. where
dampness from a passing shower may SO
rust the wires and mold the inside as TO
make expensive repairs necessary. And
we all know how a plano sounds with It's
back fat against the wall; deadened and
without any vibration.
Precaution should be taken TO keep
piano closed when not In use. The KEYS

makes a perfect dust cloth for the highly
polished wood OF the plano; coarse. rough

shining surface. and much time, patience
and labor are required TO restore it.

GOOD BUSINESS CHANCES.
A Fair Field for all Corners at New
Town Of GoOding.

Governor Gooding and his brothers
Tom and Fred have for long time
conducted a store and lumber yard at
Gooding. There has been no townsite
there and their business was conducted
in buildings located on the ranch of the
Governor. The new conditions which
call for the opening of a townsite there
with the prospects Of its becoming
city call for a change of program which
the Gooding brothers propose to meet.
They do not wish the impression to go
abroad that they are the whole thing
there. They have sold out their entire
stock of lumber and are offering their
stock of general merchandise for sale
and as soon as it is disposed of they
will be out of business in Gooding and
will not enter into fuIther business
ventures there in competition with 9th
ers. They propose to give every man
who buys a lot there and wishes to
enter into business an equal oportun-
ity, which viii be a good thing for the
new town and forever kill all talk of its
being a one man town.

THE ORIGINAL BUSY PLACE.
Journal Shop the Headquarters Of
the Tall IiuStieFS.

At various times the Journal has
either said directly, or at least inti-
mated, that it was busy; that it had all
the work it could do, and that it was
supplying about all the pleased custom
e 5 who could crowd its doors. But sit
wasn't quite true. The past week has
shown how much more work can be
done than any one would have believed
possible. with the same force. It
hasn't been a particularly big force,
either, for help is hardly to be had
these days; it isn't matter of price
but of fortune, if one canget good help
at all But it has been a particularly
busy and efficient force. and if the
same number of men ever did as much
in any Office in Idaho in one week as
the Journal force has turned out; they
are entitled to the medal.

STARR CONCERT COMPANY.
Next Number on Lecture Course is
TO be a Fine One.

The next entertainment eff the Ly-
ceum course viii be given Nov 8, by
Wilbur Starr Concert company. This
company comes highly recommended
and viii no doubt be up to standard.
Tickets may be obtained at Wernicke's
store.
Friday afternoon the Wilbur Starr
Concert Company appeared among US
for the first time and gave US one of
the grandest entertainments that mas
ever been given in this city or vicinity.
So well was the audience pleased that
they not only recalled each and every
performer of the company once, but
three times, and attempted to recall
them the fourth, when the manager
came forth and said that they intended
to be at the Chautauqua for two or
three days and thought the people
would have another opportunity to see
them perform in the meantime. By
Stander, Macomb, Illinois.
There is no doubt about the company
bearing the right name and Mr.. Starr
seemed to try to excel himself all
through the evenings entertainment.
His voice, while being strong, is melo-
dious, rich and full, and in all of the
varied selections he sings, Mr.. Starr
has it under perfect control. Mrs.
Starr is an accomplished pianist, and .
has beautiful contralto voice The
reader, Miss Lyman, has excellent ex-
preston and a cultivated voice. Her
description of the peevish, childish
young wife was well given. She was
encored. Mr.. Anker never
failed to please and proved himself a
yiolinist of rare ability. His express
sion, tone and feeling commanded the
closest attention of the entire audience. +

LINCOLN OCTOBER o. 1907
". c. T. U. CONVENTION.
important and Well Attended Meet
Ing at BIackfOOt.

The most successful convention evel
held in southern Idaho by the Woman:
Christian Temperance Union was
brought to a close Sunday evening, at
Blackfoot.
Rev Eugenia St. John of Kansas,
who has conducted a most successful
tour Of the state, was in attendance
and made the occasion very profitable
by her helpfulness and addresses.
In her trip through the state she has
spoken to crowded houses and reached
thousands of the thoughtful citizens of
the state, and the result of her work
will be felt in the future elections. She
has week more to work in the state
and will end with rally at Pocatello
October 10th.
One of the interesting features of
the convention was the gold medal con-
test, which was held on Saturday even
ing. Six young ladies' made up the
class, all of whom made splendid
showing, but the medal went to Miss
Vera Jones of Idaho Falls.
The reports of the officers and most
of the superintendent showed a vast
amount of useful work done in the
state, and the harmony and intense in
terest shown by the delegates and Wis
itors portends greater results for the
year to come.
The following officers were elected
for the coming year: President, Mrs.
A. A. Garlock, Shoshone; vice-presi-
dent, Mrs. Julia Mccormick, Roswell;
corresponding secretary, Mrs. Eva
West, Blackfoot; recording secretary,
Mrs. Sadie Straight, Glenn's Ferry;
treasurer, Mrs. Sue Prescott, Nampa;
secretary ''Y" branch, Mrs. Rose Vir-
tue, New Hope; L. T. L. secretary,
Mrs. Mary E. Hawkes., Caldwell
Mrs. NJ. L. Vance of Boise was cho-
sen delegate to the national convention,
which meets in Nashville, Tenn, in
Mrs. Susan Beithan of
Blackfoot was made alternate. Mrs
Vance expects to go.
The Blackfoot citizens We'd with each
other in extending hospitality to the
visitors, and very pleasant memories
viii be retained by those enjoying the
same. The press and pulpit were most
cordial in their welcome and, taken as
whole, the Blackfoot w. c. T. U. viii
be long remembered.
Very advanced grounds were taken
in the plans of work for the coming
yeas, the keynote for work being 'Lo-
cal option law in the next session of /
the legislature and membership for
1908 of 1000 strong" AS Mrs. St.
John has already secured nearly 300
new members and the work is in such
a promising cond tion, the probabili-
ties are that these figures will be more
than realized.

Bound to Be Good
GOOding Opening Prom
ises Big Things.
Great Demand for Lots, and Many
Already SOId---ChOicest Land
Yet Opened to Public.

S. D. Boone of the Idaho Irrigation
company, who returned this week
from New York city, says thai the
company is going to have one of the
most successful land openings on the
18th of November in the history of the
state, if the weather proves to be pro
pitious.
The company has been advertising
largely through the country, both east
and west, and has a number of agents
out who are doing personal work with
the land buyers. The correspondence
of the company indicates that the in
terest of the people, instead of being
satisfied with the openings at Jerome,
Twin Falls, and all the government
projects, has only been awakened to
the best buying pitch, and more people
are today interested in Carey Act
lands than ever before. AS there are
fifty possible if not probable buyers in
the whole country for every one who
has already bought or located in such
projects, it is question of awakening
them to the possibilities of such prof
ects to secure their earnest attention.
The Idaho Irrigation company is carry
ing on this educational work in most
successful manner.
Nothing is to be left undone for the
comfort and convenience Of the people
who attend the opening. 1t will be
easily possible for large crowds to Sc
csfre accommodations here in Shoshone,
as the train service is especially adapted
to the work of taking people to Good
ing in the morning and back again for
the night. Local accommodations will
be provided, however, so that those
who desire to stay there for day, or
for several days, can find what they
want. There is an excellent hotel at
Gooding and good accommodations can
be secured at some of the many neigh
boring farm houses. Good quarters are
to be provided with the view 10 posi-
bic bad weather, which might make
the drawing less attractive than 1t
would otherwise be. Aowever, there /
is not at all likely to be anything worse
than came to the opening at American
Falls, when it rained torrents, or at
Jerome, where rain for day or two
previous made it quite trying for those
of tender constitution and unused to
roughing it.
Plats of the Gooding townste have
been filed and properly recorded and
there is another townsite on the map
ef Lincoln county. The formal opening
of the town will be held the IA of No
vember at the same time as the open
ing OF the 10, 600 acres of the Big Wood
river lands. The same plan as was fol
lowed at jerome will be followed at
Gooding, that is every other two lots
win be offered for sale previous to the
opening in order that persons wishing
to open business places necessary to
take care of the public at the opening
NAV have ample accommodations. Al
ready number Of such sales have been +
made and before the close of another
week there viii likely be lumber yard
and other places of business opened
there.
