he returned to his native land he Sc
lected the city of his birth, Shwier, in
Syria, as the site of the Turkish fair,
which attracted the attention of the
whole world.
It was called the Babylonian exposi-
ton, and so successful was it that
every year since it has been repeated,
each time on larger and more pic
turesque scale until now it has be-
come to be governmental institu-
ton and, at the close of the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition, Mr.. Salih
will go there to take permanent
charge Of it.
1t was such an exposition as the

Saith, except that from the American
standard, the whole exposition would
have been PAY Streak" for queer

NAMPA TRIUMPHANT.

That the greatness of a city is not in
its buildings or its paved streets, is
shown again in the fire that recently
swept and devastated Nampa. The
stately edifice is simply the outward
manipulation of energy, civic pride
and enterprise. The real greatness is
in the men and women who comprise
the inhabitants of city. In Nampa
the buildings were ruined, the prop
erty was destroyed and all manifesto
ton of wealth was swept away In
couple of hours, but Nampa is as great
and as rich today as she ever was
The people have still the same hope,
faith and confidence. They are still
imbued with the same energy and en-
terprise. The spirit of the Deweys,
the Hickeys, the cartridges and of
hundreds of others is still alive, and
much alive at that. There is no
whimpering and whining. The bust
ness men of Nampa will be stayed
for only a moment by the temporary
loss, immense as it was. The fire
fiend caused destruction that would
have staggered a much larger and
more wealthy city than Nampa. But
it's only for the moment. In little
while Nampa will again be herself,
proud and independent, even naughty,
in her contempt for the little handi-
caps of lie. There is something in
the makeup of the people Of Nampa
that excites wonder and admiration
They are not dismayed at disaster
nor are they worried by trifles. Theil
destiny is marked for them and the!
have abiding faith. In the dying EN-
bers Nampa could see larger ant
greater buildings than those tina
marked the site of the ruins. Nampa
is triumphant in the wake Of he
gloom and desolation. 2
To the people and property owner
Caldwell extends sympathy. We ar
profoundly grieved at the immens
loss of property. Many men have los
practically all they had. The saving
of lifetime were swept away in
moment. The Tribune knows tina
the people of Caldwell feel for an
sympathize with their nedghborin
city. Anything within its gifts Is a
ten command of Nampa. We trus
that that city's recovery may be swii
and complete.

NARROW Roads.

r. ]. Thompson, consul at Hanover,
in a recent report of the department
Of commerce and labor, makes some
suggestive observations on the subject
of public highways in Germany. He
says our best roads are little better
than the worst in Germany. He at
tributes this disparity chiefly to the
circumstance that the Germans make
their roads only about half the width
OF ours. He has learned that the av-
erage width of public roads in the
middle west Of the United States Is
sixty-six feet, while in Germany 1t Is
only thirty feet. But the Garmans, in
thta spirit of economy which charac-
terizes all their work, improve every
inch OF their highways. They are as
good at the edges as on the crown
whereas the sides Of our roads are apt
to be mud-gullies fringed with weeds.
Perhaps the fact might be expressed
by saying that the Germans spend as
much labor as we do on less space
The result is that their roads are bet
ter made and better maintained. OF
course the saving Of space is obvious
For example, Mr.. Thompson has fg'
ured out that If the width Of the pub
lie roads in Minnesota. Wisconsin, 10
wa, Michingan, Kansas, Illinois, NJ
braska, Missouri, Indiana and Ohio
were reduced to the German average
two and one-half million acres of lant
would be added to the tillable area

an immense saving to the people, as
great many purely ornamental of
fices could be entirely done away
with. The purpose of many state Of
flces Is to to properly reward the
faithful. If one office can be made
to reward three or four deserving pa
triots, a direct saving of thousands of
dollars a year may be made. The
people of Idaho should get next to
the new system. It's daisy.

LONG-DISTANCE TYPESETT1NG
What may be described as a long
distance linotype machine. operated
by wireless telegraphy, is suggested
by Hans Knudsen, Danish resident
of London. According to an account
in the London Chronicle, this has al
ready been successfully used in con-
nection with an ordinary typewriter.
Says the paper just named:
"The possibilities of somebody in
the future setting before keyboard
in st. Petersburg and setting type in
a London newspaper Office by wireless
telegraphy was suggested to little
company of wondering people at the
Hotel Cecil last evening. They were
inspecting a remarkable apparatus
invented by Hans Knudsen, q Dane,
who has been a resident here for the
last eight years. Twelve months ago
Mr.. Knudesen conceived the idea that
a valuable saving of time would be
effected in a newspaper office If a
wireless message could arrive in
type Till then he had taken no &C
tive interest in wireless telegraphy.
He set to work in earnest, and the re-
suit of his experiments was seen at
the Hotel Cecil yesterday. Mr.. Knud-
sen appears to have hit upon an ex-
tremely simple contrivance. For one
thing he dispenses with the Morse
code. All the operator has to do in
fact is to spell out his message on a
keyboard containing the letters of the
alphabet. Over the keyboard there is
travelling contact-carrier. AS it
passes over a key which has been
pressed down by the operator there is
an electric spark. At that moment
the carrier on the receiving instru-

ment which is working in perfect har-
mony with the transmitter, halts at
the same letter. In this way, letter by
letter, the message is received. Yes
terday a typewriter, attached to the
receiving instrument, recorded each
letter as it was sent by the transmit
ter. In it's place, for the purpose of
typesetting, there will be, Of course, a
linotype machine"
The machine thus described is
merely a model, but the Chronicle
states that Mr.. Knudsen hopes to
give a demonstration with the COM
'plete apparatus.

A BIG SHOE FAILURE.
New YOrk's Largest Retail Shoe Con-
Germ Goes to the Wall.

Germ OOeS 10 the WALL
The largest failure Of any retail
shoe concern ever recorded by Brad
street occurred a few weeks ago,
when the Frazer & Oppenheim con-
Germ, operating 81 retail stores in
New York City, went to the wall
This failure, coming as it does, in the
height Of the summer season, throws
thousands of dollars worth of shoes
on the market. fssR # &#
Large manufacturing concerns In
the east had IN process of manufac-
ture or already boxed for shipment,
vast quantities Of shoes branded and
stamped with Frazer & Open
helms own particular stamp, which
made it impossible to throw them on
the regular market and sell to other
stores for stock.
Mr.. T. ]. Blake, shoe manager for
the Golden Rule Store" of Boise
who was in New York at the time Of
the crash, secured large quantities o.
these shoes and shipped them to theil
various stores Immediately.
Every pair OF these shoes are OF
high grade, made for the best retail
trade in New York City. The public
of Caldwell will be given an opportun-
| ity to purchase them at fraction Of
their regular selling price at the Fa'
mous StOro Wednesday, Thursday Fri

POLITICIANS HARD PREssEl

fVLAI1CIANS HARD IhE66EDs
Some Of the state officials are being
hard pressed these days for positions.
In fact, we are informed that the
pressure has been on for some con-
siderable time. The trouble is that
during the campaign too many prom
ises were INDUCED in. The positions
won't go round, and all kinds Of sub
terfuges are .resorted to. The latest
plan is to give the same position to
two or even three persons. The ap-
pointees work in relays of two weeks
each. One goes on the first of the
month and works a couple of weeks.
10 be followed by a second on the
18th inst. The second serves a
fortnight and gives way to the third.
In this way 1t is hoped to keep all
reasonably satisfied. It's a great
scheme We wonder who Is the au-
thor of the plan. He is entitled to
great credit. If the plan keeps the
patriot quiet. we commend its adop-
ton in all state offices. 1t means

meet in Seattle July 1924, and is des-
tined to be one of the most remarka-
BILE, as we'll as the most enjoyable
conventions ever held by the associa-

elaborate preparations for the enter

city. Numerous side trips, visits to
various points of interest, including
