This item regarding the fate of n
man educated ut Harvard University
is respectfully called to the attention
of the members of the Legislature
who have voted against the estab-
llshment of savings bank at the
Mckinley High School, and voted
down the appropriation for manual
training in the public schools.
The arguments used against the
school savings bank and manual
training are that the public schools
have turned out some ne'er-do-wells
who appear to have learned neither
habits Of industry nor anything else,
THEREFORE, the present and flu
ture pupils of these schools should be
refused the privilege of manual train
ing and the experience OF learning
the method of banking while in
school; also habits of thrift.
Following the same line of argu-
ment, Harvard University should
either be abolished or given no fur
ther endowment,
BECAUSE, one of its graduates
and one Of Its noted athletes has
gone crazy from eating too much
beefsteak. .......-.

EDUCATION'S FAILURES and our
LEGISLATORS.

Kalamazoo. Mich, March 90.
Until a better theory can be ad-
vanced it will be held that John
Dwight Gorham, one of the rich
est men in this part of Michigan,
who has been taken to an asylum
for the insane, lost his reason
through an overindulgence in
beefsteak.
Gorham, who lives at Marshall,
recently began eating several
pounds of beefsteak daily. He has
been known to eat nearly twenty
pounds of steak in a day. He Is
n graduate of Harvard Univer-
sity, and was at one time men,
Der of Harvard's rowing crew.
No other cause than too much
meat-eating can be assigned for
his present condition.

yoU MUST REGISTER AGAIN

All persons wishing to vote at the
local option election must register by
Saturday, September 4th. All reports
to the contrary will not enable you to
vote if you neglect to attend to this
before the registration books are clos
ed on Saturday night. In this issue
of the paper is a list of the names OF
registrars in the precincts In this To-
cality.
Persons wishing to vote on the sub
iect Of bonds at the city election In
Blackfoot must register also with the
registrar of their own ward. Do not
get the idea that the state election OF
year ago has anything to do with
the local option election OF 1903, nor
do not assume that because you have
registered with a precinct registrar
whose Office is in Blackfoot, that this
entities you to vote in another cleo
tion being held a couple of days later
to vote on municipal bonds. You have
to be registered in both books before

Last evening the adjourned session
was held in this city. In October
and November respectively were had
sessions in the sub district conven-
tions, one at Wallowa. the other at
Vale, these being at either end of the
long district. No meeting of the DIS
trict league was held this year, as
the time of its selection was unfortu-
nate, being SO near that of the Inter
national Convention in Seattle.

Temperance Movements.
The legislature of Idaho and the

influence this year in shaping the
temperance sentiment Of the two ad-

passing workable laws, the latter pas

METHODIST CONFERENCE

The session Of The Idaho Confer
ence held here last week was said
by many of the ministers to have
been one of the best yet held. In
point Of numbers and ability Of the
men present, it ranked we'll, and the
circumstances affecting the meeting
were favorable to harmony and sue
cessful work.
The residents Of the town respond
yed generously in taking the visitors
into their homes and providing for
their creature comforts as well as
to do their part in keeping them in
a happy frame of mind. Each one re-
turning to the sessions, reported hay-
ing a pleasant place to stay, and this,
with the commodious building they
had in which to hold the meetings,
made the work of the conference
more pleasant. The newly arranged
church with it's tasty finishings, rich
new carpets and fine windows called
forth enthusiastic comment from the
visitors, and it was generally con-
ceded at the close of the conference,
that it was the best yet held, both
from the work of the ministers and
the part done by the community and
the weather clerk.
The visitors began to assemble on
Wednesday, August 11th, and the
work of the conference began on
Thursday morning. The total num-
ber Of gentlemen attending was
seventy two, and eight of them
brought their wives. Most of them
were from Washington and Oregon,
and there were others from various
places, notably Bishop Henry War
rem Of University Park, Colorado;
Rev. Geo. B. Smythe of San Fran
cisco; Rev. d. T.. RAIDER D. D., OF
Portland, Oregon; Robert Hughes of
Portland; Rev. G. w. McCreery Of
ogden; Rev. w. B. Cole Of Foo Chow,
China.
Business sessions we're held every
forenoon, and in the afternoons and
evenings the following order was OBJ
served.
Thursday afternoon, G. e. Deal Of
La Grande, Oregon, and Mrs. H. E.
Hill, Of New York, lead in the work,
Mrs. Hills subject being the work Of
the Woman's Home Missionary So
ciety
In THE evening the subject of the
home missionary and church extern
sion work was presented by Bishop
Warren.

B. Dalton spoke on the Woman's
foreign Missionary work.

Late In the p. m. of the 30th we
reached the quaint old town of
Wrangle. famed for its totem poles.
We found poles that showed signs
Of great age, two especially we're
covered with moss and on the top of
one was the figure of a man. A shrub
was growing on one side of his hat
and waving In the breeze as though
to give jaunty air In spite Of his
age.
Both here and at Ketchikan the
streets are narrow; we remarked
their condition and were told they
were needed no wider as there were
no horses or vehicles.
AT all of these places we found
the Indian squaws and children with
curios spread out on an old cloth
right on the sidewalk.
After leaving Wrangle we came to
what is known as the Narrows. Here
the mountains rise abruptly from
the waters edge and the ships path
Is marked by buoys on each side, We
came to where one boat had gotten
out Of the path and was lying strand

passengers and crew. This night an
entertainment was given In the Social
