A Record representative had the
occasion and pleasure of visiting the
Alameda Greenhouse yesterday after
noon, and much to his surprise and
delight, he was shown the finest col
lection of flowers he had ever seen.
Mr.. Santheson, the owner, is a second

East or West could not surpass the
one Roswell has. A bed of beautiful
pansies was seen. You
could almost hear their tiny voices
they seemed to look up at you.
This bed alone is well worth a visit
to this beautiful place, and every
where you were shown there could
be nothing seen but lovely pertaining
flowers of all shades and hues. Mr..
is busy now preparing
young plants of the many varieties
flowers for the market, so that
those who are lovers of flowers may
be able to get them and raise their
own.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS BEATS
WORLDS EXPOSITION

Albuquerque Journal, Mar. 9.
Rev. E. Mcqueen Gray, who went
to Washington several weeks ago in
has returned TO the city. When Mr..
Gray left for Washington, his only
mission was to secure assurances
from the state department that the
delegates appointed to the
by President Diaz, of Mexico. would
receive official recognition from the
United States. He not only practical
ly received this concession from Sec.
Rotary of State Root, but also succeed
ed in placing the National Irrigation
congress or an entirely different foot
ing in government and diplomatic cir
cles. The most important concession
secured by Mr.. Gray was h assur-
ance received from Mr.. Root hat he
would cause notes to be written to
the foreign embassies and legations
in Washington, to the effect that
while the congress was not officially
recognized by the United States as a
government institution, still it heart
lily approved of its aims and objects
and would appreciate any interest ia
ken in it by foreign countries. This
note was sen to twentyfour differ
ent embassies and legations and went
a long way toward helping Mr.. Gray
in achieving such notable results.
Mr.. Gray's knowledge of diploma
cy, his wide acquaintance with gov
eminent officials and foreign attaches
and his knowledge of foreign Ian
guages were all largely instrumental
in making a favorable impression re-
"When Mr.. Root directed that for
eign attaches be communicated with
on the subject of the Irrigation con
gress," said Mr.. Gray, "he did some
thing that he refused to do for the
board of directors for the Louisiana
Purchase exposition. In writing this
note, Mr.. Root practically took upon
the responsibility of enter
tanning and properly receiving the
delegates to the congress from for
ClSu COuaCTlcS Wis mesy Ut Stut "
the congress"
To the best of his own ability, Mr..
Gray will see to it that the foreign
delegates and guests are entertained
according to their dignity and station.
Mr. Gray, during the three weeks
he was in Washington accomplished
a vast amount If other work. He Sc
cured the assistance of Mr.. James
Bryce, English ambassador, in the
matter of Interesting his government
in the congress. Mr.. Bryce promised
his hearty support. said that he
would endeavor to secure a corps of
British civil engineers to attend;
would also take up the matter OF int
eFesting the Indian and Egyptian gov,
ernments IN the congress and ask
them TO lend delegates.

HOW LONG is SIS FEET?

The Post explains the Moscow
bridge, which is to be torn away and
replaced by brand new one SIS feet
long, by saying that the new bridge is
to be but SIS feet long as stated by the
Troy News. The old bridge is 1853
feet long. built lengthwise of the creek
at bend. But so far as the creek is
concerned SIS footi bridge is gener-
Gus, because Moscow should be COM
PEELED to fill her Main street and paw
the bill. In spite OF this, Main street
will be filled for l03 feet at county ex-
pense, leaving a SIS foot gap, to be
bridged with new structure, not over
on feet long, as required by law, but
to be paid for out Of county funds.
And the Moscow Post, edited bv
man who says he is a lawyer, calls this
repairing the old bridge" The gist
OF the whole matter is that the county
is now building bridge within the CITY
limits OF Moscow, to be paid out of
county funds, clearly in violation of law
80 NAN 'SAJ pam lCdSOu lIldI contract
calls for bridge less than go feet in
length. 1t is all very we'll to stretch
the law five feet in favor of Moscow
but when it comes to an appropriation
Tor very much-needed new public
road that would benefit hundreds of
farmers in the eastern part of Latah
county the law Immediately looses all
elasticity. And yet the Post declares
that Mr.. Orcutt is using duplicity.
Well, we desire to confess our Ignorance
or mental density or whatever Fields
may call it, because we can't reconcile
the facts with the law, as quoted bv
the Post. To us IS foot bridge Is
% teet. The fact that it happens TO
be at the lower end Of Moscow's Main
street fails to make the bridge look
like legal county charge to US, and
until the Posts shows US how TO harmon
lie the law and the facts we will con-
tinue to insist that the new bridge is
being built by unlawfully taking money
nom the county treasury. Probably
The Post will explain the matter by

ANSWER THIS FOR BRADY.

Will the Pocatello Tribune kindly
inform the public where Mr.. Brady
stands on the question of railroad
commission What is his attitude on
the proper assessment of the Oregon
Short Line railroad, bonded for $780,
600 per mile but assessed at $3.50
per miller If elected governor where
would he stand on an anti-pass law, if
such bill should pass the legislature?
What does he think about primary or
direct primary election law? Some of
these measures the people Of Idaho are
IN favor OF. Mr.. Brady,in his letter an
nouncing his candidacy, failed to state
his position, possiably because he is Of
the opinion that the paramount issue
is his nomination. After election will
it be the public be damned" lust
as 1t was two years ago7 He also failed
to state what he thought of the repub-
lican record of broken pledges, and
overlooked splendid opportunity to
make plain many things the voters
will want to know before he gets their
support. The News would suggist
that Mr.. Brady issue a second edition
OF his notice of candidacy and make
things clear.

ANOTHER QUESTION.

Here is another one for the judicial
determination OF Attorney" Fields:
Having hired detectives why did the
county refuse to pay their bill2 Also
tell US why they were hired. Also why
it was not discovered that the hiring
was illegal until after the detectives
had been hired and had worked for the
county, under the direction of County
Attorney Stillinger, for several weeks.
We shall continue to ask these ques-
tons until someone answers them with
something better than lot Of irrelavent
personal references to Peter LaDow
Orcutt." To get the real question be-
fore the court circuit will plead
guilty to all the charges so far made by
the Post. We will admit that we were
foolish enough to have once or twice
said nice things about commissioners
Hagan and Cook, ano not only promise
to do so no more, but plead guilty to
charge Of "duplicity," and declare
solemnly that we now believe that
whatever good we said about these
gentlemen was false and foolish. This
ought to clear the matter up so that
the Post can answer the questions with
out the least bit of trouble.
