Dear Mrs. Trego:

Dear Mrs. Trego:
Your article in Echoes" of recent
date on mistakes" has set me won
dering If understand your meaning
in reference to myself.
Thanking you for your commenda-
ton of my work, Il will say: What
ever efficiency | have attained in
making good copy, is think, largely
due to my real love for writing.
My great desire to get manuscript
as nearly right as / can, has caused
me to cross out many sheet and do
it over, to improve on 1t, or to remedy
some mistake, even then l am not al
ways satisfied with it, and rarely ever
get 1t finished to suit my ideal of
what it should be.
M was much interested In the
School Of Journalism" conducted by
the editor of The Republican for five
months, ending September, 1908. 1t
seemed to me rare opportunity, and
/ believe that every one who took it
up earnestly with desire to learn
has been encouraged and benefited
by the instruction and practice.
hope the editor may be fully re-
warded for the time, and effort ex-
pended in his part of the work.
As l am unable to satisfy the critic
in my own mind which demands bet
ter things than I have yet done, l
can hardly presume to give advice but
would say in general way, that real
painstaking effort toward plain hand
writing, spacing lines, leaving mar
gins, .punctuating, going over copy
carefully to see that words are not
omitted that make the meaning
clear, well repay writer, and no
doubt adds years to the life of an
editor, on whose shoulders the fault
eventually rests, if overlooked.

A THOUGHTFUL GIFT.
We wish to call your attention to
the club cook books as a Christmas
gift to some of your friends, especial
ly those living in other states. The
Columbian club has one that is
large and very complete, with good
board and oilcloth binding for one
dollar. The Civic club of Pocatello
has an excellent one, not so large or
well bound, but containing many ex-
cellent recipes; they sell it for fifty
cents. The Woman's club of Mackay
also has good one with limp oil
Goth binding, the price of whicl. is
fifty cents. If other cubs of --le
state have published cook books we
would like to know about them that
we may make it known to those wish
ling to purchase.

A CORRECTION.
Echoes is indebted to the States
man for Sketches of Columbian
Club Women" published last week;
credit was unintentionally omitted
Mrs Green writes Columbian Club
news4or the Statesman. She is gen.
erous, so we feel pardon is assured.
