SOUTHERN IDAHO
CLUBS WILL MEET
League to Hold Annual Conven-
ton at Nampa November
Sixteenth.

According to the returns re-
ceived by Reilly Atkinson, Sec
retary-T Treasurer of the League
of Southern Idaho Commercial
Clubs, the fourth annual con-
vention of that organization
which will be held at Nampa
November 16 and II will be
the largest and most enthusias-
tic one yet held. Clubs in all
sections of the south have sent
in lists Of delegates and evince
an unusual interest in the con-
vention-
The league started a cam
paign to get an appropriatio~
of $25, ,O0000a year from tho
next legislature for an immi-
grafton and advertising bureau
Of the state. It is this bureaus
business to gather statistics of
Idaho and publish them. This
is work which will build up ev-
cry little community of Idaho,
help to populate our vacant
lands and to bring, in new in
vestors. 1t is of equal import
ance to everyone and the state
cannot be too liberal if the
money is thus used. We get it
oack an hundred fold. Every
;ity in .sotithern' Idaho should
be represented at Nampa and
rhus give this movement all the
backing possible.
The sentiment favoring the
,reation of a commission to
'egulate railroads has grown a
reat deal in the last two years
nd this convention will be
sked to endorse a law calling
or a railroad commission.
Our legislature has not yet
made any provision for having
Idaho represented at the Alas
ka. Yukon Pacific Exposition to
,e held in Seattle during 1909.
The league will undoubtedly
lake come action on this and
will probably ask for an ap-
oropriation.
The convention will be called
to order Monday afternoon,
November 16, and every city in
southern Idaho should be rep
resented.

Romance of a London Society Leader
 and Diamond Necklace.

Romance of a London Society Leader
 and Diamond Necklace.
 The jewellers of Bond street could if they liked tell many an amazing story. There is no need to dilate on the fasci- nation which scintillating gems exer- else upon the feminine mind. That fas- cination is fact and may serve to ex- plain mortal enmity which existed recently and probably still exists be- tween two well known society leaders. To one of them highly placed admir- CT mentioned his intention to purchase a diamond necklace. Knowing that the lady possessed more than superficial knowledge of the value of stones, he begged her to select for him what he required. The price he was prepared to give was f1,500 The lady jumped to the conclusion that such request could have but one meaning-viz. that she herself was to be the eventual re- cipient of the gift She thereupon wis ited the jewellers shop and inspected his stock, but at the price she was em- powered to give saw nothing that par ticularly took her fancy. A fascinating piece of workmanship. however, did at- tract her, the price of which was 5000 guineas. The desire to possess 1t be- came irresistible. She arranged with the jeweler to send the necklace to the purchaser and invoice 1t to him at the agreed upon price, while she gave her own check for the balance. Then she went home and awaited the arrival of the gift. Some days passed. but there was no appearance of the necklace. A horrible doubt which assailed her be- came certainty day or two later when she SAW the identical necklace she had helped to pay for sparkling on the neck of younger and more beauti- full riyal.-Grand Magazine. ..... 4.
