There isn't a Commercial Club in all
Idaho that has as fine furniture as that
ordered and already shipped for the
Commercial Club of Richfield.
At a recent meeting Of the Club, the
committee was ordered to purchase the
necessary furniture, and to get it good
enough to make the club rooms so at
tractive that the town would be proud
Of the place. The committee has lived
up to its instructions by buying the
very best there is in the market
There is one heavy oak reading table,
three and one-half by twelve feet, fin
ished in mission style. 1t would hole

ATTRACTIVE STORE
keystone Pharmacy Moves Into
Fine New Quarters.

H. M. Moore & Co., the Keystone
Pharmacy, are moving this week into
their fine new quarters in the Recorder
building.
They have the finest drug store loca-
tion and building in the county. 1t is
one Of the best corners in town, and
has plate glass show windows facing on
both streets. The room is lighted with
plate and prism glass, is w9l ventilat-
ed, and is all that any one could wish.
Like the rest of the building, it is fin
ished inside with brown-stained, waxed
woodwork and oiled floors.
The new soda fountain, now being in
stalled. is one of the very finest in the
state. 1t is of solid oak, marble, onyx
and plate glass, and is as much a de-
light to the eye as it's contents are to
the palate. 1t will be supplied wife the
very freshest and finest .deicacies in
the market
All through the store is evidence of
good taste and business judgment, and
the town is to be congratulated on hav-
ing so attractive a business place.

A POPULAR SCHOOL.

The popularity of the s,'ate Nor
NAL school at Albion is growing
each year. Not only is the standard
of scholarship high but the expenses
are low. Board and room at the fine
dormitories costs but S14.00 per cal
endar month, considerably lower than
at the other state schools of Idaho,
yet competent judges say that the ac-
commodations are as good as in many
schools charging from $500 to Sc. 90
more per month The S14. 90 in
cludes heat and light for rooms and
free use of bath rooms and other con-
veniences. A good laundry room is
furnished for the young ladies and
MANY of them do their own laundry
work, thus reducing expenses to a
minimum. The five year course leads
to diploma which is life certi-
ficate to teach in Idaho. The three
year course leads to a fiye-year state
certificate, and the elementary course
leads to ene-year state certificafsi
In addition special courses in Primary
Methods and in Kindergarten Meth
ods are maintained. School opens

During the land drawings at Mis-
soula, Spokane and Occur d'Alene
there will be thousands of homeseek-
ers who will not be able to get any
of the land which they are seeking
and as natural consequence they
will back up to where they can get
land and if there is no government
land for them they will take Carey
Act land and as Richfield is situated
in the center of the largest irrigated
section in Idaho, we can expect big
rush of homeseekers in here this fall
and we should get ready beforehand
to take care of these people and
show them inducements this country
has to offer.
Any one visiting the improved
ranches around Richfield can not
help but see the opportunities foi a
rancher in this country, where grain
and fruit of all kinds yield much
heavier than in any of the older
states and the prices for the same
is much higher and the demand is
strong.

We have been asked by large
number of people why we do not
announce in the Recorder when there
will be services at the church. The
reason is very easily given, as we
never know anything about it our
selves until after it is over. The
church people are welcome to an.
fouiioe their meetings In the Record

have much larger attendance at
their meetings. If they did SO.

That would leave the state with the

LAND LOOKS GOOD
Large Acreage Around Richfield
Taken by HOme-Hunters

That the land near Richfield is be-
coming considered valuable is evil
dent in the last few days by the
amount of land that is being filed on
and that was not taken in the Idaho
Irrigation Company's segregation.
H. M. Fender and sons have filed
on 320 acres as a homestead and W.
e. Irwin of Hailey has filed on 100
acres desert near the land filed on by
Mr.. Fender and sons and the tract
lays from three to six miles west of
town and is considered very valuable
as Little Wood river runs through the
land, which will insure them plenty
of water for irrigating and domestic
use.
There have been several other par
ties hunting for land in this section
of the country and they all seem to
think that it will be but a matter of
a few months until the land Will be
very valuable, as they are all greatly
impressed when looking over the
country by seeing what is grown on
the Richfield tract,
John Turner, living west of town
has some some as fine onions and
cabbage as one would wish to sec
and Mr.. Johnson, living near the Tur-
ner home has a garden that will make
a person hungry to look at the good
things that are growing there.

The mud will not, of course, be as
bad as it was last year, owing to the

there is a great deal to be done yet,
before we will be in good condition
to avoid the mud, and as the time
is not long off, until the rains will

GOODING's PRIZE.
Secures State School for Deaf, Dumb
and Blind


At the final meeting in Boise last
week, the state board for the loca-
tion of the school for the deaf, dumb
and blind came to a deadlock that
could not be broken otherwise, and
instead of giving the school to either
Boise or Weiser, the two aspirants,
they located it at Gooding, an elev-
enth-hour candidate. The school is
to be built at once, the state having
appropriated $4,000 for the build
ing, and there is about $4,000 for
the maintenance of the school,
Governor Gooding is personally re-
sponsible for bringing the institution
to Lincoln county. Without in the
slightest interfering with the other
candidates who went into the race
early. he was ready to take instant
advantage of the deadlock, and be-
cause of his friendship for both par
ties, was able to enlist support from
both. to the extent that Gooding re
ceived the unanimous vote of the
locating board.
Governor Gooding offered free
site of 20 acres adjoining town, on
land worth probably $3.50 an acre. 1t
is Immediately south of the Wood
worth addition to Gooding, and is CON
nected with town by an S-foot con
crete walk. There is no better loca-
tion in the state, and the locating
board is to be congratulated on its
wise selection.

Slick Brothers, who started the

secured another good contract that is
of the kind and quality they most
care to handle. 1t is the work on the

Fails south of Mountain Home. This
plant is to utilize fall of about 13
feet in the Snake river, with all the
mighty volume of water that pours
through the canyon at that point. 1T
