The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1908-09-25

of the Idaho Children's Home Find
ing and Aid Society, Inc, of Boise,
passed through Idaho Falls Thurs
day morning and was met at the
train by committee OF v. /. s. wom-
en-, and during the short stay here
she told them Of the work Of the
Children's Home. She will send lit
erature regarding the home and the
club will discuss the work at their
next meeting.
A cooked food sale will be held
the 18th, the proceeds Of which are
to 60 for the use of the library.
The hospital committee is having
busy day today canning peaches for
hospital use Our generous grocers
each donated case of beautiful FL
bertas and the ladies met at the
home OF Mrs. A. L. Campbell, the
president, to can them.
Mrs. Reesor, our district president,
is taking needed rest and recrea-
ton on the dry farm at Poplar
Just now, as the minds OF club
women are turning to the north, in
view Of the State Federation held at
Moscow, October 81 and %, there
may be interest in trip taken, not
long since, by the writer, covering
the entire route the delegates will
traverse. Now, the only reasonable
way to reach north Idaho is to travel
west into the state of Oregon, then
after a wide detour, partly through
Washington, we reach our own state
again. When we, as club women,
have helped to accomplish the pas
sage Of all the measures we wish,
let us help to build North and
South Idaho railroad. The state
would crown the Women's clubs with
glory, and a grateful people strew
our path with roses. Until the hap
py day when that railroad Is built,
by someone, the Federation delega-
ton must do as everybody now does,
and let us make ready for the jour
ney.
First stop, Montpelier, how many
delegates? Mrs. Spidell, Mrs. Harris,
Mrs. Groo---more than one represen-
tative from each club, ! hope. These
loyal workers from the southern
confines of our state may expect a
royal welcome at the hands of the
north. Pocatello, Mrs. Standrod, 1T
has been understood for two years
that Mrs. Weeter is to sing the re-
cessional for the Moscow meeting.
Mrs. Campbell of Idaho Falls pre-
sents the legislative wishes of the
First District. Mrs. Dymae Jones
will give her report of the Boston
biennial. Mrs. Kurtz of Nampa will
also give her report; the party en-
route may have the advantage OF
the other delegates. for we can keep
up a running fire of questions con-
corning their Eastern experiences;
but never mind, everyone will have
an opportunity at Moscow.
Blackfoot will send the editor of
Echoes, /" Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Millick,
and half dozen more. Now, the
First District Is aboard. If we can
only have the president, the express
idents, and let me add, the prospec-
tive presidents, we shall have mag
nificent delegation. First in the Sec
ond District is Shoshone, with Mrs.
Gooding, and Miss McFall to join
our ranks with, trust, others. Boise,
Nampa, Caldwell--turn about is fair
play-this club is soon hostess to
the Second District Let them rest
from their labors' at Moscow, and
enjoy someone elses efforts. Pay
cite and Weiser complete the span
and at the last named the correspond
ing secretary and president are to
join the delegation and be whisked
away. The road 60. r.. & N from
Huntingdon winds through valleys
with rivers glistening like silver rib
bons, through mountains covered
with evergreens, and past Indian res
ervations. Do you know of those
wonderful wheat lands Of western
Washington, and Oregon where in
the spring, to the very SUBMITS. the
hills are carpeted with green, now
yellow with ripened grain. Twelve
times | have happened to traverse
that section and always the old
hymn haunts me, There is green
hill far away, without city WALL"
Not only the beauty, but we south
ern delegates may think enviously of
a country where it isn't necessary
to irrigate the fields. Among Just
such hills lies Moscow, the one town
