PICTURESQUE RExBuRG
AND VICINITY

Rexburg Ia the metropolis Of Ere

the educational center, of the entire
southeastern section of the great Gem

tables and oats, together with sugar
beet raising, afford plenty to keep the
farmer busy. The sugar factory, which
is located within three miles OF Rex
burg, distributed in three months to
raisers of sugar beets last year about
81 100000. A great deal OF the money
SO distributed again finds its way into
the Golfers of ReXburg merchants.
The altitude OF Rexburg is 1900
feet above sea level and the average
temperature for the year is 81 de-
grees. No cyclones or billiards. visit
this part of Idaho.
The Oregon Short Line Railroad
passes directly through the city, and
during the present year the Rexbqrg
station has handled many thousand
cars of merchandise, stock and pro-
duce.
No commercial club in the Snake
River valley is a stronger boosting
Organization than the Rexburg Com
mercial Club.
Activities in Business
No city in the state of Idaho sup
ports its own institutions more loyal
ly than Rexburg and the consequence
is that the large and well stocked mer-
camille establishments are among the
finest and best in the intermountain
country. Every line of business is
represented and as the city is grow
ing rapidly there is always splendid
opportunity for any live merchant to
succeed, -,
While Rexburg lays no claims to
pretentiousness, its social distinction
is the equal of any of the larger cities
of the intermountain country. While
it has no exclusive smart Set" the
majority of the citizens are intelli-
gent, well-educated and refined.
Coal in Abundance
Coal abounds in the county and is
being mined in a small way for local
consumption.
There is every prospect of trans
continental line at an early day, an
extension of the Northwestern from
Casper, Wyo., to Boise and thence to
the coast.
CHANGING at Rexburg retrospectively,
one beholds it established in a barren
a4d desolate wilderness, notes that
wilderness reclaimed 10 civilization
and cultivation by an undaunted and
progressive people. And as one has
watched with startled gaze this sud-
den and complete transformation, 10!
and behold, Rexburg has sprung for
ward to it's present status-the me-
tropolis OF an imperial domain, re-
ceiving rich toll from the teeming
surrounding territory.

SCORES LEGISLATORS FOR
RAIL COMMISSION BILL

The Negro Bryan and Kern club
held lively meeting at it's rooms, 75l
Central avenue, last night.
George G. Martin, Democratic NOM
inee for the assembly from the Sew
enty-first district, spoke on several
subjects involved in the present cam
paign.
Mr.. Martin referred particularly to
the vicious railroad commissioners
bill, which was passed by the last leg
islature
He said this bill was introduced by
Mr. Johnson of Sacramento and was
intended to confer almost unlimited
power on the railroad commission.
The bill was rushed through before it's
real purpose was discovered by the
honest men in the legislature.
When its real iniquity was discov-
cred, however, a determined effort was
made by the anti-S. p forces in the
house, headed by Mr.. Devlin, to have
it reconsidered; but the motion to re-
consider was killed by the votes of
Leeds, Stanton, Harmon and Transue
and others of the Herrin members.
And these men voted against recon-
sideration after the wicked purpose of
the bill was exposed.
The railroad commissioners have not
used for the benefit of the people the
powers they already possessed. Take.
for instance, their failure to prosecute
the railroads for violating the consti-
tutionaI provision against rebating.

Attell soon. AS he whipped Weeks
in short order, 1 must do the same
in order to show that I am as good
as the champion"
Weeks figures that he has a little
to say about whether Wolgast will
get crack at Attell, for. despite the
way in which the champion beat him,
Weeks still is full of confidence as to
his own ring ability. The knockout
slipped him by the willy Able never
has been considered seriously by the
critics, for the same thing Is liable
to happen to any fighter. A squint at
the dope on both fights between Papke
and Ketchel bears witness to this, for
it practically was a one-punch job in
each instance. The only difference was
the length each fighter went after re-
ceiving the real telling blow right off
the reel.
Weeks is anxious to re-establish
himself in the good graces of the local
fans, and figures that Wolgast is q
good subject on which to start. I'm

ALL CLAIMS OF EARL OF

LONDON, Oct 12.-By an order of
the divorce court issued this afternoon
all the rights and interests of the earl
of Yarmouth, under the financial settle
ment made prior to the earPs marriage
to Miss Alice Cornelia Thaw in Pitts
burg on April 27, 1903, are extinguished
According to the counsel the sum set
tied upon the earl at this time
amounted to 100000.
This sum was settled upon Miss
Thaw for life. If she died before the
earl the sum of 100000 was to pass to
him. The settlement also gave the earl
an income of $50000 year from the
day of the wedding.
The earl made no opposition to the
courts order The marriage of the
earl of Yarmouth and Miss Thaw was
annulled in London on February last.
