wade Idaho: Boise Expects
to Reap Some Benefits.

Fisher Harris. secretary OF the Salt
Lake Commercial club. has written to
Secretary Reilly Of the Boise uda,)
Commercial club concerning the salt
Lake business mems excursion TO be run
through the Gem state some time next
month. An interesting part of the lat
ter IS as follows:
II is the intention OF this club TO
run a business mems excursion to the
principal cities OF Idaho for the purpose
of getting better acquainted with our
friends and customers there and Incident
ally to look over the beautiful scenery for
which the Gem State is so justly ia
nous.
I'VE would like 10 make arrangements
for public receptions at the various towns

want these receptions to cost your peo-
pie anything, as We have no intention OF
imposing on Eour unfailine courtesy. but
we are anxious 10 make the excursion

visited, as we know it will be to the Wis
itors.
I'm all probability GOV. Cutler and
President Halloran will be along. but.

Sticks Up for Boise.
Mr. Harris asked Secretary Atkinson
for n list Of the secretaries of the diff
ferent Idaho Commercial clubs and also
whether he thinks arrangements could be
made for a public reception in Boise some
time about the middle OF MAY. SeCre-
tary Atkinson will take up with the board
Of directors Of rhe Boise club the ques-
ton Of a reception. and there is no doubt
arrangements Will be made for one.
I've Will show the Salt Gakers that
Boise is as good q place as any and a

Secretary Atkinson. There Is considera-

BIG BUILDING BOOM.
Extends to Nearly all the Cities in the
United States

The report of the American Contrac-
tor Publishing Company for the year
1906 has a surprise for many people In
the fact that the building boom OF 1905
has not ended, but that building IN
still on the increase in most Of the
large American cities. Denver is run
ming with the tide, having an increase
of nine per cent, while Kansas City
and Omaha have both lost, the former
eighteen per cent. and the latter two
per cent.
The general incrs asc throughout the
country averages a little over two per
cent. but New York City lost nine per
cent. This amount, owing to the i'm
mense size OF the American metropo-
lis, reaches nearly twenty-five millions.
The gains in other cities were so large
that this loss was offset and general
gain of thirteen millions was made
throughout the country over 1905.
The most phenomenal gains were
in Seattle, Washington. and Chatta-
nooga, Tennessee. both of which reg
istered a gain OF seventy. y.scvcn per
cent. There is a vast difference in the
meaning of these two percentages.
however, for while the building oper-
ations in Chattanooga in 1905 amounted
TO only s2,23l,7i2. it amounted to $11,-
800, Ass last year.
The cost of buildings IN Denver in
1906 was little over S7,pO0,000. In
Los Angeles the gain was eighteen
per cent. and the amount of building
done Sls,502,iid. The cities that made

NERVOUS HEADACHES

EverY Sufferer.

Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize the awful agony of
its victims. Worst of all. the ordln-
ary treatment cannot be relied upon
to cure nor even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that II person is
subject to these headaches there is
nothing that can be done 10 prevent

Nervous headaches, as well as neu-
ralgia. are caused by lack OF nutrition
the nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and 1t is in this way that Dr..

plished SO many remarkable cures.

THE BODY OF DAVIS BOY FOUND
Floated Four Miles From Ford and
Lodged On Sand Bar.

Lying partly submerged in the
water, the body Of eddie" Davis was
found at 4 80 O'Clock Wednesday even
ing on sand bar in Meacham creek
four miles below Meacham, by DR.. Sam
Davis, brother of the drowned boy and
Percy Fulsom. of Pendleton. says the
Tribune. Since s O'Clock in the morn
ing the two men who found the body
had been i'll the ICY water of Meacham
creek, at times being compelled to
swim, wading for hours in water more
than waist deep, searching every nook
and bank and eddy for sign of the
lost boy. Their efforts were rewarded
after crossing deep pool and climbing
on log which stood up out Of the
water affording a vantage point from
which they could overlook the sand
bar in the middle of the stream.
Both searchers saw the body at the
same time and for few moments they
were unaEle to muster up courage to
plunge into the river and cross to the
opposite side where the remains lay,
SO near overcome were they with the
ghastliness Of the sight.
Young Davis started from the cattle
ranch of his uncle. Ben Brown Iues-
day morning, April 8. He rode down
Meacham creek five miles to Meacham
crossing. In attempting to cross the
creek, which at that time was swollen
by rains into a roaring river, his horse
undoubtedly STUN bled and floundered
in the stream throwing the boy off.
