Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1907-06-21


for primary use.
In speaking to reporter Miss
Chamberlain remarked that the men
representing the various book COM
apnies were very considerable and
courteous and that it was the opinion
of all those interested that 1t had
been one of the cleanest book cam
paigns known in the West. That this
opinion was shared by the men them
selves is evidenced by remark made
by one of them to a reporter. you
man say he said, that the book men
are unit in voting the Idaho COM
mission one of the fairest they have
met in their experience. They have
listened to the conflicting and con-
fusing explanations of the various
schoolbook men with the utmost pa
thence, and none Of them feel that they
could complain of their treatment. If
their books have not been selected, 1t .
has not been because they have not
carefully studied them and listened
to all the claims made for them"
| The committee closed it's work at a
late hour last evening and was then
invited by the representatives Of the
various houses to an evening at the
natitorium, which closed with BAN
quet at Brands. The spread was to
be rendered to. the losers by the win
ners in the contest. The utmost Sc
crecy as to the books selected had
been maintained by the commission,
and the list was not divulged until the
close of the banquet last evening,
when H. P. Knight of Wallace arose
and made known the list.
There were disappointed faces
among some Of the jolly representa-
tives, of course, but all quickly rallied
and the supper party was very mer-
ry one. Fatigue was forgotten in the
witty toasts which followed one an
other in quick succession. At the
close Of the banquet the entire party
escorted Mr.. Knight, the first mem
Der of the party to leave, to the sta
ton.
