three trees erected, one larger and
two smaller ones, all lastly deco
rated with wax candles, strings of
popcorn and paper ribbons of diff
ferent colors, and presents were hung
on the limbs until they began to have
the appearance of an overloaded
fruit tree. AS soon as the presents
were distributed among the pople the
floor was cleared, the boys got their
violins and tuned them up in good
shape and the crowd tripped the light

Forester Pinchot and the conserv-

of sites anywhere, thus inviting the
opposition of practically every power
concern on the Pacific coast. 1t is
asserted one of the most potent for

We Cant Afford Stamps.

Under the new postal law we are
required to have a settlement with
large number of our patrons, and
we do not wish to send each one a
letter. There are two reasons for
this: 1t is a lot of work, and 1t
stamps. But with our system of ad-
dressing your paper, we give the date
to which your subscription is paid.
The old type was badly broken and
filled up with ink and dust, and this
week we have been recasting it and
checking up with our ledger accounts
to see if each one is right.
We ask each person receiving the
paper to notice the figures on the
label after his name and If he Is in
arrears, plan to make settlement as
soon as possible. If the figures do
not correspond with your receipts for
payments made, bring the receipt
along when you come to settle, or If
you write to us about it, give the
date of the receipt. Our system of
keeping these accounts requires that
the new date be made in two different
books and new type cast to print
your address, If an error occurs,
the receipt enables us to trace it. Do
not make payment of subscription
to anybody without getting a re-
ceipt.
The first figure on the label indi-
Gates the month, the second the day
of the month, and the last one the
year. For example. 1-10-6, means
Jan. 10, 1906. 12-26-4, means Dec.
26, 1904. TAT, means July 4, 1907.
If your liable reads like one of these
we shall be glad to have you call.

Death of Mrs. Bumgarner.

A telephone message Sunday morn
ing announced the death of Mrs. G.
NJ Bumgarner at her home at Nampa
at a. m.
1t was very unexpected to people
here, as few of them knew that she
was ill. The family removed from
here TO Nampa about year ago after
a long residence here, and Mrs, Bum
gamers demise will be mourned by
all who knew her.
Mrs. Bumgarner came here from
Ohio when she was young woman,
and her noble character, combined
with that of her husband, made the
family name pillar Of honor wher-
ever they were known.
Mr.. Bumgarner came here in 1885,
and 1t will pain his many friends
here to know that he is bereft of the
wife he so loved, and that he has to
be father and mother both, to the
three little ones.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Martin of this
place left for Nampa on Sunday
morning to be present at the fune-
raj, which, we understand, was con-
Quoted on Tuesday.

Pews Well Filled.

1t always has a good effect on the
minister when the church is we'll
filled, and for this reason we have
had two happy ones in our midst
this week. Rev. Chamberlain said,
Yes, indeed! | do feel good over the
promising outlook. Why, our little
church was well filled Sunday at both
services and SO many more men were
out than usual. Everybody Is show
ing an unusual interest in church
affairs
And Rev. Edwards Well, you
should have seen him smile when
several of his people had to walk up
in the amen corner to secure a seat.
This was at the morning service. His
sermon was good, but no better than
he breaches every Sunday, so If this
was the first time you heard him
and you were pleased, why, just go
again to be sure. There was a large
congregation at night, too. People
come around sometimes and tell us
we have a couple OF good preachers
in town" Umph! Just as though
we had not found that out long ago.

Has Learned the Secret.

\ bunch had gathered on the
reat corner the other day that SEEM
cd 70 be discussing the town. its men
and the country folk in general. AS
we were passing by one of them re-
marked: Now there is Heber White
and his wife. Children all grown
ard doing we'll and the old folks
settled down to enjoy the fruits of a
well spent life. Got nice little
farm in good condition and don't
have to worry about interest or poll
tics or labor question or anything.
Now boys, that's something to think
about amt it?" And we thought 1t
was too. We are busy writing up
the business and busy men Of the
town, but there are those who are
passing the active age that deserve
just as much consideration.

The T. F. Richards

Mr.. and Mrs. T. F. Richards of
Blackfoot, who have been spending
a season with friends of the middle
west, are at this writing (Wednes-
day. in Kalamazoo, Mich, but no
telling where they might be located
by the time these lines are read by
their friends in town, because they
are so much ION the wing"
They have been, or will be, in
Marshall, Mich, Jacksonville, Ohio,
Chicago, ILL.,, and Duluth, Mimi, be-
fore the final "homeward bound"
journey is undertaken, which will
lead them north through Canada,
then out to Spokane, Wash, over to
Portland, Ore, and then, as this is
the last point possible on journey
nearly across the continent, we hope
they will direct their steps back to
Blackfoot, where a warm welcome
is awaiting them from their many
friends.

A Land Rush Monday.

A large amount of land which had
been withdrawn from entry in 1903
4, lying near Downey, and Mccain
mon, Idaho, was restored to entry,
and was open to selection and settle
ment on Monday morning, January
goth.
When the passenger train came in
Monday morning there was lively
time getting into line at the Land Of
fee, and at nine O'Clock the doors
opened for business. About two
dozen men took land, and the State
also made some selections
One incident of the rush was the
case of big fellow throwing a little
man out of line and taking his place,
but the Register and Receiver OBJ
served the job and made him let the
little man have bis place in time to
make selection in his turn.

THE PIANO CONTEST.
Interest Increasing as the Contest
Advances. All the Candidates
Busy Hustling Votes.

No new candidates have come into
the arena in the past week, and ii
the count of this week changes the
anxiety from one candidate to an
other, it is fair exchange and no
robbery. One of the girls said this
week, Il wish this contest was over.
1t is wearing on me-" But anxiety
comes with all good things while
they are still In the uncertain stage,
and the public rather enjoys the
changing scenes. 1t Is rather hard
on the girls, and yet 1t is developing
strength and character, and enlarging
their acquaintance. 1t is also en-
larging the acquaintance of The Re-
publican, and the Pocatello Music
Company who furnished the Star
Piano that was placed in the window
of the Brown -Eldredge Furniture
Company by the Republican, with
the starteling announcement that 1t
belonged to nobody, but would be
given to whoever the readers of The
Republican elected to receive 1t.
1t took several weeks for people to
realize that each issue of the paper
there was voting coupon which
they could fill out and use to deter
mine where the elegant instrument
should go at the close of the con-
test. More people are getting in
terested every day, and the race
goes on merrily.
Be plucky girls, and don't let the
smile come off. 1t is strong heart
that can put up bright smile in the
face of the storm.

been working at the sugar factory
from 12 to IS hours per day and

from for paying little back account
on his place. Now he is about
through with that account, then he
is going to settle down to taking
comfort, caring for a fine young Or
chard, some fancy chickens and other
things, that make man feel good
to look at and care for after he has
made good paying for it, with some
hard licks at good honest toll. We
hope Joe will live long to enjoy the
fruits of his labor as he deserves to
do.

Capital State Bank.

The doors of the Capital State
Bank of Boise closed temporarily to
the public Tuesday, Jan. 21st, which
created considerable excitement in
banking circles of the city. Cashier
II. F. Neal resigned and application
for a receiver was filed. There are
rumcrs, and all sorts of rumors, but
the facts sustained are a heavy run
averaging $4,000 per day for AZ days
or more, and the Boise clearing
houses refused aid. The institution
is perfectly solvent, will reopen short
ly, and pay every dollar due its de-
positors.

G.. Fl. Holbrook is one of The Black

Best goods, best clerks, best SER

he takes just pride in having, and
these are some of the reasons why
