Successful Entertainment.

The entertainment given at the
school house last night was grand
success. The program evidenced
careful preparation on the part OF
the teachers and was thoroughly
enjoyed by packed house. The
box supper was the financial fea-
ture of the evening, boxes being
sold to the highest bidder. The
highest price paid was $2.75, and
the total proceeds amounted to
$34.30, which will be applied as a
payment on the organ.

LEAGUE Of Commercial Clubs.

The meeting of the League of
Southern Idaho commercial clubs
hold in Boise last week was a great
success. Unanimity was the key
note of the convention. The Hey
burn amendment to the rate bill,
which provides that the railroads
shall not receive as much compen-
sstion for short as for long
haul, was endorsed: Numerous
other subjects were discussed and
proper measures taken, probably
the most important of these being
the question of advertising south
ern Idaho. The following is part
Of the report of the committee on
Advertising read and adopted:
"We recommend that the league
Immediately enter upon such an
Advertising campaign as has been
suggested.
ave recommend that the league
send to prospective home seekers
literature which shall be published
in it's own name.
"We recommend that this litera-
ture shall consist of one or more
books in which each commercial
club belonging to this league shall
be entitled to two full pages of
space and no more, irrespective of
the size and wealth of the COM
munity represented by that club.'
[The Roseberry delegates were
responsible largely for the above
recommendation, which will give
this vicinity the same advertising
space that Boise gets with her $50
members.
Each club is to pay 25 cents per
capita per month into the league
for advertising purposes. The ad-
vertlsing will be in newspapers and
magazines as we'll as booklets dis
trlbuted on trains.
A full list of the names OF those
answering the advertisements will
be sent to the different, clubs news
papers and irrigation companies OF
southern Idaho.
A resolution was passed highly
commending the efforts of the
newspapers of the state in boosting
Idaho.
A smoker by the Boise club was
hlghly appreciated by the dele
gates and demonstrated the clubs
great ability to entertain.
