generous pens, but books and
magazines in plenty and a God

full residence that the public inter-
ested in the work may meet to-
gather and give encouragement.
This meeting will be held Tues
evening and there will be pro-
gram as follows:

The organization has rented one
half of Browns Paint store in the
Bonner Hotel building to be used
as the reading room.
The subscription list tells many
a tender story, which as we glance
over the cold print, will bring
sympathetic tear to the eye.
Yours Respectfully
A CHURCH WOMAN.
To the Editor:
All those who are interes ted,
land who is not?) in the projected
Gree Library and Reading Room"
for the town of Bonners Ferry will
no doubt be delighted to hear of
the excellent success of the move
ment thus far.
In order to putt to a practical
test the sentiment of the COM
munity in this question, Mrs. R. S.
Anderson of this city made a pre-
liminary canvass this week, and in
very short time had a subscrip-
ton list of over one hundred dol
lors.
This in itself is proof of public
interest, and it is to be hoped that
the good work so auspiciously be-
gun will now speedily proceed to
its desired elimination, and that
the Boomers Ferry Free Library
and Reading Room" shall soon be
an actual fact, visible reality.
Hoping for this desirable result,
and thanking you, Mr.. Editor, for
publishing this letter, am,
Yours respectfully,
A CITIZEN.

MUSICAL PROGRAM

The social life of the Reading
Room will be conducted by the
young ladies of the various church
es, who will lend their influence
and helpfulness in keeping the
finance in substantial repair. The
married women and men-will line
up in the rear to chaperon the
maids. All questions regarding
"spooning and matrimonial aspira-
tions" will be relegated to the adj
wise of the "Old Guards who give
away the bride.
A conspicuous fact noticeable
among the young wage earners in
terested in our local industries is
the distinct type of the intellectual
young man whose courage and vi
gorous manhood has prompted him
to cut away from conventionalities
and the ties of home and affection
to carve out for himself home in
the generous west. The stranger
may be a youth just out of his
teens, a college student with the
romantic dream of manly courage
and alas, inexperience, or perhaps
the'stern faced fateer of a young
breed left in a little nest where the
mother is eagerly waiting for the
love call of her mate
The woman of Bonners Ferry
will deem it a privilege to extend
through the medium of the Read
ing room, their helpful-aid, for be
we brown, OF black, red or white,
in outward cast, we are children of
the Deyine Father.

in the whole country a man so well
fitted to be President He is not only
absolutely fearless. absolutely disinter-
ested and upright, but hs has the widest
acquaintance with the nations needs
without and within and the broadest
sympathies with all our citizens"
He would be as emphatically a
President OF the plain people as Lin
coin. yet not Lincoln himself would
be freer from the least tatnt OF dema-
gosy, the least tendency to arouse or
appeal TO class hatred OF any kind.
He has peculiar and intimate
knowledge OF any sympathy with the
needs OF all our people-of the farmer,
OF the wage-worker, Of the business
man. OF the properly owner-no mat
ter what a mans occupation or social
position. no matter what his creed.

party given in honor of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fredrick Hellman last evening was
attended by over a hundred guests.
The house was decorated with
flags and flowers and an Italian or
chestra from Reno furnished some
very high class music, both instru-
mental and vocal. The leading violin
was particularly good.
Miss Mabel Stewart and Miss Amy
Howe rendered some delightful vocal
numbers and Miss Howe gave some
very pleasing recitations.
Champaign punch was in evidence
during the entire evening and at mid
night the guests adjourned to the
spacious attic and sat down to a col
lation where all the guests had very
jolly good time.
The affair ran until the small hours

of the most delightful things of the
kind ever given in Carson.

DECLINED
Second Nomination and
Sends Announcement
To His Friends

The PRONUNCIATION of a letter from
Vice President Fairbanks reiterating
his ''irrevocable determination" not to
again be candidate for the Office he
now holds was the most important
development Of yesterday in the con-
vention with the Vice Presidential
nomination. The letter was address
sed to Mr.. Fairbanks manager. Jo-
seph r. Healing, and the full text
follows:
INDIANAPOLIS, June 16. 1908.
My Dear Mr. Kealing:-I appre-
ciate fully the compliment paid me by
my friends in their insistence that
should accept a denomination for Vice
President, yet my determination not
to be a candidate again as announced
before the close of the last session
of Congress through you is absolutely
irrevocable
MY conclusion does not grow out
OF any want OF appreciation Tor the
honor, which any man may well covet
No one is obliged to step down to it.
Il have enjoyed the great honor
which came to me unsought and by
thte undivided voice of my party, fol
all of whcih I am profoundly great
ful
" This renewed expression of the
confidence of my friends touches me
most deeply. They need no assur.
ance that l have come to the con
clusion | have reached deliberately
and I trust that the personal consid
erations which I have advanced will
commend themselves to their appro
val. l am more confirmed in the wis
dom of my conclusions because of tn
fact that there is no party or publ
exigency which would seem to sug
gest contrary course.
accept for yourself and othe
friends my grateful appreciation {
!. your generous, unfailing and 10y:
support.
