we can get every representative to
feel that way and can have the bill

experts before we present it, feel

Another campaign of education on
the subject will be necessary between

A DROP-IN VISIT.
The, editor of Echoes heard a
gentle rapping at her door last
Saturday and opened it to find Mrs.
G. Il. Bowerman Of st. Anthony,
waiting to be received. The pleasure
and surprise were equal, for she
seemingly had dropped down from an
airship as no regular train was due.
She was returning from Boise, had
stopped over in Pocatello, missed the
early morning train and boarded the
ping Pong While they were
stopping for water and freight, Mrs.
Bowerman ran over for half hour.
The kettle was on, so a cup of tea
furnished rest and cheer for the
remainder Of the journey to Idaho
Falls, where she remained over until
the next day. She is very enthusiast
tic over the scholarship fund.

FORWARD CLUB.
As reporter for the Forward club
of Caldwell, Ifeel that owe an
apology both to my club and to
Echoes for being SO remiss in my
duty, for we have had some quite
interesting luncheon events take
place In our club that might interest
and help other clubs in the state and
it is not at all generous for me to
withhold them from you.
In December we were delighted to
have witch us at our social meeting,
Mrs James Beatty Of Boise who had
shortly returned from trip around
the world. She read most inter-
esting paper on Woman in India
as she had herself seen it and over
social cup of tea added many other
thoughts not taken up by the paper.
The January social meeting was de-
voted to Dutch Art" and was ably
handled by the ladies in charge.
Numerous prints of the pictures dis
cussed were passed around and sew
eral of the subjects were in colors.
The February social meeting was
domestic science one and a paper en-
titled Then and Now" was read,
after which genuine domestic
science demonstration was given by
lady members of the club and the
following menu was prepared and
served to the members present:
Cream of Tomato Soup
Plain Omelette
Apple and Cabbage Salad
Gelatine Cream Pudding
This, it was decided, was one Of
the most unique meetings of the sea-
son and yet a most instructive one |
as the recipes for all the menu were
given to those in attendance. The |
Forward club with only about "a,
his members and the assistance of |
Commercial club, were able to help |
that club entertain large number
of the legislators with banquet,
which was pronounced by the visitors
a decided success. At the last busi-
ness meeting it was decided to give
$40 toward the Loan Scholarship
Fund also to have an exhibit Of
the AIlston prints for the benefit of
the schools So you can see that
though silent for long time it was
not the silence of death and inactivi-

and qualifications Of the candidates
for city Offices and to recognize
whomsoever he chose in Official posi-
tions. Taking that view of II, nc
wonder Mr.. Mcintyre declined to &C
cept receipts signed by City Treas
urer Dorian for licenses.
After being duly invested with au-
thority from the city solicitor, Nh
Mcintyre Immediately recognized the
one he thought his Samuel had in
structed him to recognize, and the
first man who entered his Office ask
ing for license and presenting re-
ceipt for the license fee, signed by
Treasurer Dorian. was CURLY turned
down. A suit in the circuit cour,
promptly followed, but that did not
bother Mr.. Mcintyre, who had every
confidence in his construction and in
depreciation of the gratuituons opln-
ion furnished him by the city SO
licitor.
But last night Mr.. Mcintyre was
in the same frame of mind as the
mayor was the night before. when
Mr.. MeIntyre's Office duties kept him
engaged until a quorum was broken
in the lower board-"It was pas
him."
Following out logically the course
he had planned when the city soli-
citor apparently clothed him with
plenary powers 10 settle all municipal
controversies. Mr.. Mcintyre turned
down saloon Keepers. who presented
receipts signed by City Treasurer
Dorian. 1t was then Mr.. Mcintyre
learned how emphemeral are all
earthly honors, how brief is authority
in a republic. The city solicitor. who
had written a legal opinion, defining
the Clerks duties in the premises,
arose in the council meeting and fur
nished an oral commentary upon his
own opinion. setting forth in concise
language what the city clerk had
done that he should not have done.
and informing the councilmen that
the clerk was all wrong But he did
not explain what II was that Mr. Nc
Intyre could do. That is where the
solicitor missed the vital point.
Mr. Mcintyre doesn't care about
what he can't do; he is finding that
out for himself as fast as anybody
could desire. He wants to know
what he can do in this treasurership
muddle. That is why. we think. he
should ask for revised and ammo
tated opinion, specifically covering
those features of the duties and pre-
negatives of his Office, bearing on the
second floor situation at the city hall.

TOBACCO NEWS

II is generally understood that the
deal between the Planters Protec-
tive association and the spanish gov
eminent for all the Tugs held by the
association il on and that this type OF
tobacco. which has been he'd OF the
market since negotiations for the en-
tire lot have been pending have been
thrown on the market. The reason
for the move. 1t Is declared by Off
cials OF the association. is that bet
ter average can be secured by selling
each hogshead separately and the
growers would be better satisfied
than TO average and sell all the Tugs
as a whole.
The association has been offered
3 cents a pound for ali lug holdings,
but this they have refused.
About so hogsheads OF low Tugs
were sold at Paducah at prices rang
ing from 5 to cents today. This is
the first sale of tobacco under cents
and consists largely OF a very low
c,ass OF damaged Tugs aud leaf and
the price is considered good on ac-
count Of the condition OF the tobacco
when priced.
