The town has always been well
to the front in commercial matters
by reason Of its natural advantages
rather than by the exercise Of the
! commercial spirit. It has an
ambition for intellectual and edu-
cational advantages rather than
commercial. The place is admira-
bly, situated for school and college
town. Its population is of the type
that prefers these things to the hum
and smoke Of factories. Its fine
climate, good water, railroad COM
munication, great agricultural dis
trict on all sides, its nice homes
with modern conveniences, all make
1t desirable place for students, and
the splendid school system it is
building up is attracting wide atten-
ton.
The city directory published in
the local paper shows a long list of
fraternal orders for both men and
women, and 1t is one of the places
that is generally considered for con-
ventions that represent much terri
tory. On account of its many pas
senger trains per day, it is easy of
access.

Club Favors Business Men.

The Eastern Idaho Press Club is
selling book of their own prepara-
ton, and has arranged for the three
months ending March First to let
any business men but editors have
copies at special price of $3.50
each. The book has been selling at
five dollars, and many editors and
attorneys have taken them at that
price, but they have limited num-
Der left and in order to raise the bal
ance of the cost of compiling and
printing them, they make this cut for
ninety days.
The book, or pamphlet, contains
all the laws pertaining to newspaper
printing and legal publications, that
are now effective in Idaho, and is
of great value to city clerks, officers
of canal corporations, school boards
etc. There are many laws in effect
that were made for the protection of
the public, which people are ignor-
antof, and in many cases village
clerks and clerk of school boards are
doing what they suppose to be their
who'll duty, but at the same time
are liable on their bonds proceeding
for neglecting, something that has
not been brot to their attention. The
Press Club employed one of the best
attorneys in the state to compile this
work, and this affords good oppor-
tunity to get 1t for $3.50. Orders
should be sent to J. w. Jones of
Rigby, Idaho.
