scrap in any sense of the word but the
precincts of Maroa, Bull and Filler had
evidently been preparing for the con-
vention for some time past anG easily
swung the convention their way by
presenting q united front to the Twin
Falls delegation which was outnum-
bered slightly by the combination.
The committee on creden tials to
which the two contesting delegates
from Bull was referred, decided the
matter by seating both and giving them
a half vote each.
The convention, in order to facil-
tate businese voted to have all resolu-
tions submitted to a committee on reso-
luiions and cut discussion and long
speeches. With the one exception the
resolutions were thus taken care of and
adopted by the convention without de-
bate. The only exception being one to
adopt the primary system for selecting
candidates for the county, which was
introduced by Attorney Hutto and
adopted after some discussion. The
RESOLUTIONS adopted were:

Che able administration of President

Twin Falls to do honor to f. H. Buhl
financial promoter of the Twin Falls
project. Twin Falls city made up for
any lack of numbers from ont side and
turned out to swell the celebration
crowd
About three O'Clock in the afternoon
the school children 500 strong led by the
band passed in review before Mr.. Bull
who exclaimed that he did not know
there were 50 many of them. The pa
rade besides being a pleasing sight to
the guest of honor was revelation to
many of the citizens in the orderly
manner IN which the children marched
through the crowded streets.
Later in the afternoon the CONNER
cial club invited all of the male visitors
w lDc6b MI. Duul db tue ~. L. mall
where he in few fitting words told ei
his great interest in this tract, and how
pleased and gratifed he was over the
progress made since it's beginning. He
also showed what a great advantage the
South side tract would have over any
other irrigated project, because il
would not have to depend upon the
storage of water for its supply during
the irrigating season. He was introduced
by the club members to every CUES
and expressed a lively interest in al
matters pertaining to the tract. Music
of the spontaneous nature was filled il
between the refreshments which were
very plentiful. Owing to Mr.. Buhl',
FASTENED departure on the six O'CLOCK

When the question of delegates to
Wallace and Boise came up it soon be
came apparent that Twin Falls would
have to take a back seat and take what

Bring Thousands Into City.

the Biggest Days in the His
tory Of the State.

OF the Salmon river opening was not
made until last week, yet the fact of an
opening this summer is known all over
the country and every mail brings a
large spondence asking about the

estimate to put the number who will be

arrangements as the other openings of
Carey Act lands. Persons desiring land

Jag the who'll cost OF filing recording and
notarial fees. For the balance, the next
payment will come in 1910 aud be So 90
per acre, after which year for four
years the yearly payments will be the
same, $500. After this time the pay
ments will be increased to s4.O0 apd
the last payment will not come until

 Dear Mir. Moore.
 Your letter of September 22 has just been received and read by me, as have to-day returned from a tour of some of our New England cities for our organization.
 Tn reply to the question you ask me, I will state that In my opinion the vote of organized labor in this country as body, will not, should not. and cannot be delivered to any one party by any man or set of men. To allow such thing would be sui- cidal to the labor movement of the country Members of labor unions, as citizens have the right and should carefully consider the platforms and promises of the different political par ties and should vote as they believe tho broadest and best interests of our country He.
 "TEere can be no objection to this ! from any source, and Il Is something which every citizen should do, Tc claim that any man or set of men, a' has been blazoned forth in the newspa pers will deliver the vote of organizeJ labor to any party ls absurd, as lt is at l lmpossihillty.
