Veighborhood Notes.
Plenty of Newspapers

Another newspaper will soon be
started in Blackfoot, known as The
Optimist 1t will be edited by Carl p.
Brown from The Pocatello Advance,
and is backed by Pocatello parties,
among whom are Truxton Talbot,
formerly a resident Of this place, and
for some months foreman of The Re-
publican Office. There is always room
for another newspaper In town, and
when they get too numerous to grow
large they can squeeze up and be as
large as possible. We shall be able
to tell more about the new paper next
week.

The Dual Purpose Cow.-There is
no one who believes In the impossible
ity of the dual purpose cow quite SC
strongly as W.. D. Hoard, editor OF
Hoards Dairyman. He has always
strongly opposed tbs idea of trying for
an animal that is good for both beet
and milk, and declares that one sup.
posed to have these half and half
qualities is fit for the profits of Meth.

beef cows or raise milk. COWS, but
should not try to raise both in one, Is
well taken. q. I

Mr.. Smith says the Idaho fruit sells

orchidists do not get them graded
right nor packed we'll. Men have not
Men have been remarking that while
we raise very fine apples here, it is
usually difficult to find them in the
market put up in acceptable form,
and dealers have to send away for
such things if they want them to
look right on delivery.
Our farmers have complained
about not getting top prices for po-
tatoes that are as good as any in the
world, but dealers say it is almost
impossible to load a car from several
different farms, and have a standard
grade of potatoes that can all be sold
at one price Small potatoes are put
in, too much dirt gets in, and some
use old sacks or sew them badly or
do not have full sacks, and these
things keep our product out of the
market or prevent our getting the
top price.
Everybody who gives any thot to
the subject says we must get uniform
varieties, raise them right and grade
ara pack them the way consumers
want them If we are to get the prices
in which there is a profit.

A BELATED SANTA CLAUS
One Family, Living Miles From
Railroad. Made HaDDy

A belated Christmas shopper put in
an appearance at several of the stores
in this city Tuesday, and purchased
a large assortment of toys and pre-
sents for his wife and children. He
lives several miles from a railroad
station, and found it impossible at
Christmas time to get to the city.
owing to the impassability of the
roads leading from his home. De-
termined, however, to enjoy the
blessings of Christmas day, he came
to the city Tuesday and purchased a
supply of presents, and started home
happy. 1t is better to have Christ
mas late, than never, was the motto
OF this kind father, and we can well

one home today, to compensate for the
disappointment on December %.

SEMI=ANNUAL MEETING
Hardwood lumbermen Of the
State Here tuesday.

A number of hardwood lumber deal
ers gathered in this city Tuesday for
the semi-annual meeting of the Wis
cousin state association. 1t has been
customary to hold the Semi-annual
meeting in Milwaukee or Marshfield,
but this year it came to this city, and
consequently the meeting was held in
the ForeSter'S hall Tuesday.
There were two matters of import
ance that came before the lumbermen
and after the reading of the secretary's
report, which showed the association
in excellent condition as to finances
and membership, two committees were
appointed.
The first committee, which con-
sisted of F. H. Pado, of Wausau; Mr..
Quinlin, of Sepertin; and A. J. Young,
OF Madison; was appointed to attend
the convention of the National Lum-
'nermen's Association, which will be
held in Norfolk, Virginia.
The other committee consisting of
A. r. Owen, of Owen; III. G. Hump
hrey, of Appleton; and Geo. E. Foster,
of Mellin, was appointed TO meet with

charter. and was adjourned to the
Lincoln building, where the meeting
was called at $50.
Z. P. Arpin was elected chairman.
and Fl. S. Youker clerk. The min
utes OF the previous meeting as read
by the clerk were approved and the
treaSurer's report read, accepted and
ordered published. as is the usual Gus
tom. The report showed the schools
IN a very satisfactory condition. A.
l.. Fontaine, Prof. Jackson. and John
Horton, were appointed as COM
mittee TO audit the treasurer'S report.
The superintendent report teemed
with good. substantial comment,
and an urgent request that the J. D.
Wltter bequeSt of ZOO be used for
the erection Of a manual training and
domestic science building at the earl
lest possible opportunity. He stated
that the needs of the schools in this
city demanded this as finale to the
almost complete system now in opera
ton in this city. With this new build
ing properly equipped Grand Rapids
would be second to no city in the
state of Wisconsin in the means of
full and complete system of education.
The report Of the superintendent
showed the progress which had been
made during the past year, and the
showing of the schools was indeed
gratifying to all who had the best
interest of the education of the child
ren at heart. The report of the
superintendent was ordered, published
and hearty vote of thanks
given him and the teachers for their
faithful work during the past year.
The election of school commissioners
resulted as follows:
First ward-W. II. Reeves.
Second ward-H. II. VosS.
Third ward-W. f. Kellogg.
Fourth ward-J. J. Looze and D. B.
Philleo.
Fifth ward-Otto Bein.
Sixth ward-E. A. Oberbeck.
Seventh ward-Dr. f. Pomainville.
Eighth ward-J. W. Natwick.
With the exception of D. B. Philleo
who was eletced to fill the unexpired
term of Mr.. jacobson now removed
from the city, the commissioners were
all elected unanimously to succeed
themselves.

BELL AND ROONEY
MATCHED FOR Monday

Fred Beell, the Wisconsin wrestler,
and John Rooney, the police athlete,
will wrestle in Chicago Monday night.
Joe Cotfey matchmaker of the wrest-
ling club, after three days of hard
work, rounded up the match. He
tried to induce Beell to meet Leo
PardelIo, Farmer Burns or Rooney,
but Beell was not convinced he could
not get meeting with Frank Gotch
at this time. Then it was found that
neither Pardello nor Burns could fill
the date selected and the ever-ready
Rooney jumped into the branch.
Rooney has twice beaten the little
