GOVERNOR SELECTS SITE.

Governor Brady returned recently
from a trip to Seattle where he Sc
lected site for the Idaho building
on the grounds of the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition. Governor Brady
expressed himself as being delighted
with the location secured, claiming
that it will be one Of the most adj
vantageous on the grounds.
The state of Idaho has made an
appropriation of $4,000 for the
state building and each county may
under the law appropriate certain
sum for county exhibit. Under the
law Bingham county may appropriate
$1,000 for Bingham county exhibit.
This matter will very likely be taken
up by the county commissioners at
their next meeting.

SAYS BUSINESS INCREASES.

Mrs. A. L. Pennington, proprietor
OF Pennington Flats, in discussing
the increased travel and the in
creased demand for rooms and hotel
service in Blackfoot. says the time
seems to have come when the best
interests of the town demand in
creased accommodations for the trav-
cling public, and that good hotel
could be added to Blackfoot by COM
bining the Blenkle building, now oc-
cupied by the Kentucky Liquor Com
pany, with the Anderson block, now
occupied by herself as rooming
house, joining the two by an arch
way in the wall. 1T Is suitably sit
uated," says Mrs. Pennington, "and
il practical hotel man had it, it
could command a nice business with
out taking anything from the other
hotels which seem to be always full

MARKET REPORT.
THE AUTO VS.. THE HORSE.
From Goodwin's Weekly.

There are about town great num-
bers of poor, scrawny, lame and half
starved horses. Their owners are not
fit to own horses. These horses
would be otherwise than wrecks IL
they were well fed and groomed, as
1t is they are more than half
starved and their appearance on the
streets Is disgrace to the city
To see them makes humane man
glad that the automobile has been in
vented, and makes him hope that the
machine will soon push the horses
OF the kind referred to above, off the
streets. Some of these horses are
attached to express wagons. One
runabout automobile would deliver
more parcels than twenty Of these
scare-crows could be made to. And
the difference In the promptitude of
delivery and OF cleanliness would be
O distinct gain all around.
Pasture lands are being restricted
daily; less and less horses can be
raised In the future; Ii such wrecks
as we see daily are the best that can
be utilized now when good, common
horses are SO cheap, what can be
hoped for in the future? Our belief
is that the automobile is the thing
to be hoped for. 1t stands without
hitching, 1t starts without delay and
when started 1t goes some. " 1t is
simple in its wants, 1t needs neither
hay, grain, blankets or grooming; it
does its work with dispatch, 1t is a
messenger as prompt and expeditions
as 1t is clean, why should not man
turn to 1t. For all business purposes
in cities, as we look upon 1t, the
presence of suffering horses is about
over Some horses will always be
kept, but they will be for people who
are able to own them and who have
a fellowship with their horses. But
for quick work the day of the horse
In the city is over. The automobile
expedites business; IL tired man
wants to fill his lungs with country

| air In the evening. he can, with an
automobile, take a forty-mile spin in
less time and with less trouble than
he can with a buggy and fast team
go six miles out of town and return.
And the prices of the automobiles
are growing less, the rage for the
high power machine Is passing, for
practical, effective machines the
price Is not extortionate; they can be
easily kept, the expense Of running
them is not great and they are equal
In effective work to four horses and
they do their work vastly quicker.
Land that can be cultivated Is al
ready too valuable to raise horses
on; first-class horses ought to in
crease In value, .and with the i'm
provements constantly being made
the efficiency of automobiles ought
to all the time increase and the prices
ought to grow less. We certainly be-
lieve that the horse is passing from
the cities. The wrecks OF horses now
SO often seen In use, the difference In
effectiveness and cleanliness In favor
of the machine, all point to the time
In the near future when, for work
and for expedition In business, the
automobile will be the chief reliance
in cities.

here the first of the week to visit the

Arthur has just finished four
years apprenticeship in the Northern

talked interestingly of old friends
and old times, and is ambitious to
make the most of himself.
Speaking of the members Of his
own family, Mr.. Keeler says his
father and mother have been success
full there, and feel very much en-
couraged. His brother, j. B. Keeler,
is at Twin Falls and is doing fairly

The regular monthly meeting Of
the society will be held at the club
rooms Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock
sharp. Members are requested to
bring their dues for the year. The
amount is only a trifle and 1t seems
unnecessary to visit members at their

impossible to attend Tuesday, won't
you please hand the amount to Mrs.
Gagon, who ia the treasurer. Some
new work Is to be suggested to the
society at this meeting and you are
needed to help IL along. There will
also be several new members pre-.
sented. Please make an earnest eff
fort to come out. There is a slight
difference in the constitution of our
". /. s. and that of the district with
which we are federated. The dis
trict says, "All federated clubs shall
hold their annual business meeting
for the election Of officers, the first
meeting in April. The v. I. S.
constitution says, "The annual meet
ing for the election of officers being
held on the first Tuesday in January,
each year. Notice is hereby given
that our constitution will be changed
at the Tuesday meeting to conform to

of the members present so vote. The
Current Event club have already met
with this requirement of the district.
The object for this is to make the

Speech of Visitor Brings ROars of

plaul for the celebration of the
Fourth of July on the 3rd. The
board of governors reported having
held meeting and selected COM
mittee on general arrangements,
" whose duty it will be to outline the
Splans and in conjunction with the
#board, to add subcommittee to

&Occasion demands. This committee

III. r. Thomas and J. 7. Carruth.
MI A short time was spent in discuss
Wing the features of the work, and
methods of boosting, after which
NChairman James Duckworth an
fnounced that Rev. E. R. Hermisten
Twas present and that he would ad-
dress the meeting.
4 Mr. Hermisten is Baptist min
lister who has Travelled over many
Nstates in his work, and he began by
Fsaying that Idaho is one of the
Ngrandest states in the Union, with
possibilities that are just beginning
Ito be appreciated. and that the new
&comers to the state seem to appre-
eiate it most of all He talked
long in jolly mood about the great
boosters at Twin Falls, and among
bther things, said. Il used to think
hat Los Angeles had the greatest
boosters in the world, but Twin
EFalls has them beaten, and they are
$getting results. Some people say
THAT Twin Falls is overdone, but
&see no signs of it. Why received a
letter today from a man down there
who wanted to know if he could
4ease my lot Just vacant lot with
nothing on it. He offered me $25 a
month for the use of it for year or
two, and of course | thought he was
Foolish, but | wrote him he could
have it. Everything is in demand at
Twin Falls and everybody Is doing
well. It's the boosting that does it,
why there are times when new states
heed boosting more than they need
nything else, and Idaho has reached
hat stage
Bob McCullom OF Twin Falls is
Lohe of the greatest boosters that ever
lived, and he has lied and lied until
lis lies have an come true. Any
hing that Bob tells now is true; in
act he has quit telling anything but
he truth.
There isn't city out west but has
bad it's boosters, and for time they
have all been classed as liars, but
when their lies come true, people are
glad they have such men. What
would Seattle and Los Angeles have
been but for the boosters, and what
EMolld have been at Twin Falls to-
|day but for those matchless boosters?
WHY it would have been sage brush
and nothing else"
last week heard one of the
Twin Falls men talking on the
street, and he was blowing about the
great future of Twin Falls. Some
body going by remarked in ridicule
that all Twin Falls lacked of being
