COMMERCIAL CLUB Will
ELECT new OFFICERS
Meeting to be Held Next Tuesday Evening
OFFICERS WILL PRESENT complete REPORT OF PRESENT
CONDITIONS...THE CLUB HAS ACCOMPLISHED A GREAT
DEAL FOR CALDWELLAND IDAHO ALL SHOULDATTEND.

The regular annual meeting of the
Commercial Club will be held in the
Club rooms next Tuesday night for
the purpose of electing an entirely
new board of directors who in turn
will select from their number a pres
ident, vce-president, secretary, and
treasurer. The coming meeting will
be the most important since the or
ganization of the Club. Secretary
Gowen is preparing an extended re-
port of the work of the Club for the
past year and will give a detailed
report of the receipts and expendi-
lures during his term in office. He
will also give statistics of the amount
of freight received at this point and
will mention many other items that
will be of interest to the public. The
Club was fortunate in the selection
of a secretary who has been willing
to devote so much of his valuable
time to the interests of the organi-
cation, yet in the face of all that he
has done, there are some who are
not satisfied, and not having the
manhood to criticize him openly,
when the Club is in session, they go
like coyotes in the dark and con-

Taft the Man.

The Leader-Herald is in receipt OF
a letter from the Idaho LaFollette
Club, with headquarters at Boise.
With the letter were enclosed a num-
Der of press notices favorable to Sen
ator La Toilette for the Republican
nomination, and the letter requests
that these be reproduced, or anything
favorable to the candidacy of Mr.. La
Toilette. This paper does not ques-
ton the sincerity and honesty of pur-
pose of those who advocate the nomi-
nation of La Toilette, but it does
question their judgment.
The chief argument is that he
would carry out Roosevelt's policies
This seems rather puerile when every
body knows that Roosevelt himself
believes that Taft could best carry
out his views. So general is this be-
lief that Taft Is as good as nominal
ed right now. AS well might there
be an effort to turn back the waters
of Niagra as to stop the Taft senti-
ment, and Idaho is going to be just
as enthusiastic for him as any of the
other states. There is absolutely nc
show for La Toilette and our friends
at Boise might as we'll save their sta
tionery and postage.-Nampa Leader

Reclaim 100000 Acres.

One of the most stupendous pro-
jects is that projected for the recla-
nation of the Bruneau country in
Owyhee County, to the westward OF
all the present segregations. This
will contain 100000 to 500, 900 acres
the exact area possible not yet having
been determined. The water will be
reservoired at the head of the Snake
River, and taken to the land thru
a great canal parallel to and twice
the size of the present South Side
canal. It will be syphoned across the
deep, precipitous Salmon River can
yon. It is a magnificent project, en-
tirely feasible, but as yet only in the
embryo stage.-Shoshone Journal.

reflects to the good of our town is
at stake.
The polls opened at 1 o'clock and
closed at o'clock. A. B. Macpher-

of a family. Some fifteen ladies, who
own real estate, voted for the school
house.
This is one of the most important
steps our town has yet taken, and
will bring more desirable citizens
into Caldwell than anything else
possibly could and the almost unani-
nous vote shows that our citizens
realize it. Stockmen who have long
desired to make Caldwell their head

account of our poor school facilities

denim his work as secretary. Mr..
Gowen is not an aspirant for the Of
fee and has at different times offered
his resignation but has been pre-
vailed on to continue until the an
nual election should take place. The
Office of secretary Is the most i'm
portant in the organization and re-
quires the greater portion Of one
mans time to look after the large cor
respondence which has assumed
mammoth proportions during the
past 6 or 8 months. The board
should consist of broad minded, lib
eral men, yet their liberality should
be tempered with caution, so that
the funds of the Club is not spent
extravagantly or held with too much
parsimony. There are members who
would spend four times the income
if they had the control and then
again there are those who would
spend only what would be actually
necessary for the comfort of the
members. Neither Of these elements
should be in control but the two
should be blended about equally and
then the organization would be q
power in the upbuilding of the coun
try.

kASPARILLA

THIS sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for a world OF
troubles" For arrangements of the di-
gestiye organs II is natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthful activity, Its
beneficial influence extends, however, TO
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, CON
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due TO inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.

cigarette smoking on the Increase
Consumption of cigarettes Increase
largely In the United States during tht
last fiscal year ended June 80, 1908
according to the preliminary annua
statement OF internal revenue receipts
Tobacco revenues generally fell of the
public smoking fewer cigars than tie
preceding year, taking less snuff and
chewing less. But more cigarettes OF
all kinds were used.
Less spirits were used than in 1907,
the heaviest falling off being in the
spirits distilled from grain, the revp-
nue. on which declined over $15,000000.
This would indicate large decline IN
whisky consumption. The beer bust
ness, however, continued to grow In
spite Of the depression.
The total decrease In Internal reve-
nue., as compared with the preceding
fiscal year, was S17,99S072.
