Byrd Trego issued a unique pro-
gram of the Eastern Idaho Press Club
which met in Blackfoot last week.
The title page was corrected proof
sheet, done In chalk plate, contain
ing such expressions as "You will be
taken to the asylum insane" (made
us feel that we ought to have been
with the bunch)'' and Everything
will be free during your stay, so leave
your wife at home and bring your
purse, SO you can have good time
together" (Which made 1t impossible
for The Pioneer to be there, as one
of ut" had a sick wife he, couldn't
leave and the other had no purse to
take along). The inside pages were

Editor Jones of The Rigby Star
in personal letter says:
note that Mr.. Wheeler, up at the
Falls, finds much fault with the sup
plement, and refers to the half tones
as having been poorly printed. Now
as this is from one who has never
yet, so far as my observation extends,
tn, ned out decent job, where half
tones entered the work, the structures
certainly come with poor grace. He
does not take kindly to the resolu-
TONS as passed by the club, l note.
He should have presented himself
and taken part, rather than to have
laid his manager during the session
of the club and then crawled out
from under the hay after the close
of the meeting and howled at the pro-
ceedings. / much fear Br'er Wheeler
neglects to carry bottle or early ris-
ers around with him. However, the
Club will survive and flourish, regard
less of the likes of him and his as
sociates.
Mrs. Jones desires to be remem-
bered to yourself and wife and to-
gether with myself extends thanks
for your efforts in the way of making
things pleasant for us during our stay
In your city.
Sincerely yours,
J.. W. JONES
Sage-Brush Financiers INDICATED

The Daily Statesman has advised
the world that the action of the East
ern Idaho Press Club in protesting
against possible session of the legis- |
lature to extend the time for the pay
ment Of taxes, is ill-timed, hasty, and |
probal ly wrong. ~
1t may be true. The country press
does not revel in wealth, and some
of the editors wear patches on the
seats of their trousers-or at least |
they should do so for comfort If for
no other reason this cold weather.
But there are men there who are as
bald from steady thinking as even the
editor of the Statesman, whoever he
may be; and some of them write good
stuff. So much for the personal
equation.
Now, the sagebrush editors do not
mean to say that Idaho has so much
money that 1t is drug on the market.
But they do have the sense to see1
hat this wildcat scare is founded on
lnreason and nothing else. They be-
ieve like John Sherman, "The way
% resume is to resume" The way to
90 through ghost-haunted wood is
not to sit down on the farther side,
,ut to 60 through. II confidence is
he one thing needful In the financial
for goodness sake let us'
70 confident. Idaho banks are in the
best condition Of any in the North
vest, according to National Bank Elk
sminer Loveland. They are taking
n more deposits every day from
ober men who realize that the scare
8 but ghost and who are staying by
heir belief that Idaho is all right.
Why try to brighten them whe they
re doing we'll? Why advertise q
financial distress that does not exist
lere-except as scare, not as a
eality? |,
Much of the currency in the banks
las been held with the view OF the
oming tax-paying time. 1t is pos
ible that there may be a stringency
4 real legal tender money, then,
which which would be harmful to ,
hose who are caught-but there is
title prospect that this will be the ,
