It Is no easy matter. after the hot summer months, to get citizens inter ested in public matters. however i'm. pcrtant they may be, and for that res- son we hardly expected large gather. tng st the Business Mems Association last Friday evening. Aud for another reason siso, the leading citizens have been trying to arouse a deeper interest in the great political contest that Is impending, and which lastly demands the earnest attention of ail good citi. zens, regardless of all other public mat ters.
 Notwithstanding these eehstaelesthere was large representation at the naeet- ing of our leading business men of the city. And 1t was of a character us in- struetive as it was pleasing
 The meeting was held In Odd Fel- lows Hall, and was called to order by President Wheaton, al s P. m.
 Alter the routine business was trans acted, President Wheaton gave very interesting account of his participation in the Summer Outing of the State Bn- siness Mems Association in the carly part of August. He spoke of other mat ters, some of which was of deep inter. est ta his hearers. At the conclusion of his remarks he introduced the speak ar af hp aVpninv t'harisss k .hon.l Ter, Esq, of Norwich.

The city re quires the organized strength and wis dom of it's citizens 10 secure the utmost thai its natural advantages etler for industries uf all kinds and to hc made the residential quarters of an eniight- ened class of people.

He believed shat the Association would he made means ef training our young men in practical business metheds and for useful public service. The speaker also referred to the adjustment of tax laying, as important to the credit of our town and oity, which can be done without increasing the burden of tax alton or be In any way detrimental to the cify or taxpayer.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER

We have become SO accustomed
to progress, so Injured to startling
evolutions from old time methods,
that really wonderful achievements
are taken as matter OF course
and as incidents Of every day life.
Recently there was celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of the comple-
ton of the first Atlantic cable.
That marvellous factor in the CO.
hesion of the Worlds powers al
most shrinks into insigniticance
when contrasted to the perfection
already attained in wireless tele-
graphy, and still, we venture to
say, very few of us give more than
passing attention to the current
newspaper paragraphs announc-
ing direct communication with the
Atlantic fleet over $500 miles off
shore. A few years ago the "hcrse-
less carriage and flying ma
chine'' cranks shared the jtbes and
contuncly of an enlightened peo-
pie with their perpetual notion
brother. How many OF those who
are now busily engaged in trying
ali cneAd rarArdC the
modern automiblc or are using it
in commercial way to advance
their business interests bark back
to the time, few short years ago,
when they belonged to the Ulcers
and the doubters How many of us
reading of the remarkable achieve
ments in aviation by the Wright
Brotfl.rs, Farma }, Captain Bald
win and others, recall our all too
recent ridicule, of those who we're
trying to conquer the probleni of
aerial flight
We have something that touches
us even closer here at home. How
many of us who have observed
water flowing in the irrigating
bitches this week have realized
that nature itself has been
thwarted in order that the waters
OF Camas Prairie might be SUBJ
served to the use of the thirsty soil
in this valley? Camas and Cat
creeks for countless years, spark
ling in the sunlight of the prairies
and gurgling over rocks ano
through CANYONS, flowed on TO
peaceful confluence with the Boise
River, UNDECIDED and untouched
by the hand of man. But tn,
utilitarisn value of these wster'
finally asserted itself, and, by |
series of engineering feats secon'
10 none in all he great work o
retaining the ARID west, ines
waters were DETECTED from thei
true course and made to flow in
direction directly opposite fror
which they were intended by ma
ture TO flow. This is the age c
progress, hence the fact that Noun
tain Home and lands ten miles I
giving stimulus of waters which
few years ago no one would hav
vcntured TO predict could have bee
used for that purpose, is taken Z
a matter of course and does not e,
cite even passing comment.
