Will WAGE ADVERTISING
CAMPAIGN
A Fund Of $500 Raised to
Advertise the Emmett
Country at Seattle.

Twenty FIVE hundred dollars in
four hours is the result OF cam
paiRn for funds made by the Com
mercial Club Tuesday for the pur-
pose of advertising the Emmett
country at the Alaska Yukon ex-
position The enthusiastic spirit
which greeted the soliciting COM
mittee and the generosity displayed
by everyone shows the faith EN-
NETT people have in this Garden
Valley of the Northwest and their
loyalty to their home town. 1t
was gieat day. Not business
man on Main Street turned the
committee down, and several OF
them increased their subscription
beyond the allotment made blythe
campaign committee. There was
no hesitation, no quibbling
response was spontaneous. The
spirit displayd is the kind that has
created empires out Of desert and
overcome obstacles that have as
founded the world. 1t means that
Emmett's name and fame will be
scattered broadcast through all of
the states, and hundreds of new
citizens will be attracted to this
unparalleled fruit section.
The advertising plan proposed by
the Commercial Club is to print
10000 pamphlets descriptive of the
upper Payette valley. 1t will be
literally illustrated with farm and
orchard and irrigation scenes, aud
printed in the highest style of the
printers art. These booklets will
not be distributed indiscriminate-
ly, but will be placed in the hands
of actual homeseekers by Emmett
people who will be stationed at the
fair and at principal railroad points.
Every cent subscribed will be made
to count-none will be wasted.
The Commercial Club and those
interested will hold a meeting Fri
day night to perfect their plans and
start the work. Every one is invit-
ed to be there and assist. There
should now be no drones in the
hive. Every Emmett man and
woman, whether he be business
man, farmer or just common
plug citizen, should become a
worker, an enthusiastic, everlast-
ing booster. The boosting habit is
Break in and catch it.
Get in the game. 1t is lots of fun.
It will warm the cookies of your
heart and send your blood surg. |
ing through your body until the.
very tips of your hair are a-tingle
with life.

tries hereunder to 80 acres.
Notices will be issued within the
next few days requiring all entry
men who now hold more tnan 80
acres to relinquish all acreage over
and above the farm unit back to
the government. Entrymen will
be allowed one month in which to
dispose of the surplus lands after
receiving official notification. In
case of failure to elect which part
of an entry is to be retained, the
government will then direct the
cancellation of sufficient acreage to
conform to the regulation. Each
entryman whom the order affects
and who must relingquish part of
his holdings will be given official
notice through the Boise land Office
setting forth the farm units involv-
ed in his entry.

Leaguers Take Tumble.

Boise won its first game of the
season Sunady bv defeating EN-.
NETT, to l. 1t was an awful jolt
for the local fans, after witnessing
them take Nampa and Caldwell in
to camp on the two previous Sun
davs. The game was lost in the
first inning, FIVE runs being made.
From that time on Maloney struck
his gait and the game developed in
to a pitchers battle. Boise never
saw home plate again during the
eight remaining innings. En-
mett's only score was made by
Eaton in the second. An exhibit
ton game was played Monday,
Boise winning easily 21 to 8. Laurel
Wells was in the box for the locals.

ANOTHER RAILROAD.
O Ontario-Emmett Line Revived
by New York Capitalists.

The following article appeared
in an Ontario paper last week and
was sent to this Office by Charles
A. Myer, former business man
of this city, who states there is
good prospects of the road being
built at an early day. The article
is published for what it is worth:
At called meeting of the direct
ors of the Commercial Club. ]. r
Blackabv, president Of the Ontario
National Bank, submitted COM
munication from o. q. Wright. of
Portland, who is we'll known in
Ontario, stating that New York
capital was prepared tn build the
Ontario Emmett railroad, providing
that Ontario. Emmett and New
Plymouth will secure the right of
way the terminal grounds.
This road was started four years
ago, the right of way secured, the
line surveyed and cross-sectioned
and about two miles of grading
completed between New Plymouth
and Emmett.
The road was promoted at that
time by Wheeler & Co., of New
York, but was abandond on ac-
count of the stringency coming on
in the money market. 1t is now
given out that New York capitalists
are anxious to complete the road at
once.
The Ontario Commercial. Club
has notified Mr.. Wright that they
will secure 10 acres for terminal
grounds in Ontario and their por-
tion OF the right of way. 1t is be-
lieved Emmett and New Plymouth
will cooperate with Ontario is Sc
curing the new road, which is pur-
ported to be link in the chain of
one of the trapscontinental lines.

Memorial Services.

The churches united in the Me-
mortal services at the Methodist
church SUNDAY morning. The
auditorium was tastefully decorated
with the national colors, and the
pulpit was banked with profusion
of flowers. Rev. T. G. Maguder
delivered the sermon. 1t was Il
most logical and eloquent address.
His subject was "Blood Atone
ment . The central thought was
that no great national movement for
the uplifting Of humanity had ever
been made without the sacrifice of
blood.

NOTFHN GN-COMPLAINT
This Concerning "a Memorial by Mr..
Gerald Mccarthy to General As

There has been distributed in both
Houses Of the General Assembly a
leaflet headed "a Memorial, by Ger
ald McCarty, late State Biologist" in
which in vivid language Mr.. Nc
Carthy asks the Legislature to have
paid to him funds he claims from the
Department of Agriculture and the
State a of Health.
In his leaflet Mr.. Mccarthy makes
a long series Of charges against va
rious parties and Boards. Yesterday
the Secretary of the State Board of
Health, DR.. r. H. Lewis. was asked
about those concerning the State
Board of Health. His reply was:
There is nothing in the charges at
all. Mr.. Mccarthy has beer treated
most kindly by the Board and a de-
tailed statement would show this. He
has been paid in full for his ser
vices, as check will show"
Major ". A. Graham, Commission
err of Agriculture, said hat Mr.. Nc
Carthy had no just ground of com
plant against the Democratic Boar
trouble was with the Fusion Boar
of 1897. With what had been done
then the present Board had nothing
to do, the matter complained about
being really an affair for the United
States Government as it had to do
with the North Carolina Experiment
Station.

Salem, now a Republican member Of
the State Senate, who is quoted by
Mr.. Mccarthy as saying on a trial OF

terday that he knew nothing of the
matter, had not the slightest recoI-
lection of having ever had it on trial
before him and had not made use of
such an expression as credited to him
by Mr.. Mccarthy.
The matter of the charges Of Mr..
Mccarthy, who is now located in
Maine, were made known before he
left Raleigh, and the investigation
of the charges at that time showed
that there should not nave been any
such charges as Mr.. Mccarthy is now
making; that he had been treated
fairly and kindly by those against
whom he continues to bring charges.
