TRUX PASSES.

Editor Truxton Talbot of The Po-
catello Advance who represents the
liquor interests in Pocatello, pub
fishes the following communication
which he passes on to the temper
ance people without comment, and
prints under the heading Common
Sense" as il he endorsed 1t.
Common Sense.
Editor Advance:-Could / trouble
you to ask the prohibitionists,
through the columns of your paper,
what they will offer to a working
man in>the way of club room when
they do away with all the saloons
For instance, take some of our little
country towns where saloon is the
only place open for him, where can
he 60 to spend his idle hours. Take
another example: A man has been
out working in the rain all day and
comes in soaking wet and nothing
but a cheap hotel room to go to
There is no fire in his room, no fire
in the depot and no place except
saloon where he can warm himself
Why not do away with the hell holes
OF vice ana raise the Stauaru vi ln'
saloon to a respectable place for
man to spend his spare time?
The writer makes quite a franl
confession when he speaks of the sa
d, looms as hell holes of vice." bu
when he proposes to make saloons
respectable, two things will have tt
be done-remove the liquor and tn
license, and then they will not b.
saloons any longer.
If Trux. is still unable to answe
the inquiry as to what might b
offered in place of the saloon, W
suggest that he visit the Y. M. G. A
just two blocks from his office. an
study the problem there for a shor
sitting. We believe the environment
there will suggest something fittin
for the working man and others,

Real estate transfers have been
numerous this week, especially the
sale of town lots and farm lands ad-
jacent to the town.
The real estate firm of w. P. Shinn
and Fl. G.. Munyon has been purchased
by c. Peilstick and son Carl, also the
sale is reported Of the grocery bus1-
ness of Higginbothan and Murphy to
A. Timm, recent arrival from M1ch1-
gan.
On Monday evening, June Sth, the
Filler Commercial club met in their
regular monthly meeting, at eight
o'clock in the club rooms. Important
reports were read from various COM
mittees and were followed by several
enthusiastic speeches from different
business men concerning the import
ance of providing suitable roads and
bridges between the Salmon River
tract and this place.
After some discussion it was decided
that another bridge should be built
across the high line canal four miles
west of town and thus provide a means
of travel for the remaining direction
that had not previously been provided
for, as bridge across the high line
on the south and three good roads
and bridges over the low line have al
ready been constructed through the
efforts of the Commercial club.
With the completion of this new
bridge Filler and the new tract will
be we'll connected and judging from the
efforts put forth by the citizens of the
town to construct this work, the COM
mercial Importance of the new tract
can be estimated, also significance OF
the quality Of the soil of this section,
is the fact taht the land directly south
| of town and adjacent to the high line
canal was the first to be taken in
the land drawing in Twin F alls the
| first of June.
Traders Day has become an estab-
lished fact in many of the towns Of
Idaho and at the last meeting of the
| Commercial club it was decided that
again on Saturday, June 9th, there
| would be such an event held here.
| This is not a new departure for
| Filler as in the spring months two very
successful sales days were held when
there were large crowds in attendance
| and the sales on both occasions
amounted. to nearly $4,000.
