OF which will be the management o;
an annual fall show In Detroit. for the
benefit of the trade alone. Matters
have progressed to such stage that
the affair is now assured. The leading
factories of Detroit have already Civ.

the state concerns interviewed on the
matter have been enthusiastic In their
response. The first of these shows
will be held during August, 1909--in
all probability during the first week.
and the event will be made. 30 far as
possible. the occasion of an annual
gathering of the retail dealers OF the
country who will be expected to be
present and place their orders for the
cars which they will handle during
the coming year.
For some time the project of a trade
show at the center of the manufacture
ing industry has been agitated here.
The fact that most dealers place their
orders in the fall has made the New
York show virtually local affairs for
the past two seasons. It Is argued. De-
troit Is the logical location for such
an event from the standpoint OF the
manufacturers and the location OF the
show at this point would result In Q
tremendous saving OF money. The
middle west as a market Is becoming
increasingly important and the only
people who would be at all discommod-
ed would be the dealers situated In
the east, most OF whom make q fall
trip to the Detroit and Michigan fac
tories at present, before ordering
their lines
The state fair grounds which con-
tain buildings OF ample size for such
an affair, can be secured for the dates
desired and an option has already
been secured. The option also in
cludes the privilege of the use Of the
excellent mile track for purposes OF
denomination.

ers In discussing the project. I'VE are
calling the affair a Michigan show be-
cause Of the fact that we are not yet
ready to ask formal sanction until
we have demonstrated that our plan

state will not be barred but invita-
tons will be rendered to the trade in
Cleveland, indianapolis and other
neighboring trade centers.
I'VE see no reason why the Detroit
show should not develop into an en-
terprise which will annually bring to
this city a host OF $4,000 automobile
buyers. resulting In one of the great

At any rate. while White did not ar

on from Chicago. where he arrived
last night with the second team. Sui
Ivan Is very anxious to win the first
game OF his regime and will assuredly

Smith will be his selection.
Any attempt at predicting the four
battery members who will start the
game In absolute guessing, aside from
the certainty that Sullivan will be the
catcher for his own team. The man.
ayers do not know themselves and
will not make up their minds until
they have seen the men warm up. Had
the Tigers practiced Tuesday morn

to make definite selection. II would
be Mullin beyond question. but for

Smith pitches for the Sox. In case
White tolls. either Stanage or Beck
endorf will catch for Detroit and Sum
mers will, in all probability. be. the

A guess at the most probable array
-one In which only the pitchers and
Detroits catcher are In doubt-would
give the following hating order.

The principal aim of every leg
islator at Boise seems to be to
introduce as many bills during
the session as possible and if he
has none of his own handy he
gladly grabs up anything handed
to him by any lobbyist in reach.
Thus a lot of senseless measures
are introduced and as the session
draws to close many are rail-
roaded through without being
given even a semblance of care
full consideration and the people
of the state are saddled with a
lot of new laws, many of which
are worse than useless. The pas
sage of a law is a serious matter
and should not be rushed through
in a haphazard manner. Every
measure should be given careful
consideration and unless found to
be worthy should be cast aside.
If the session does not give suf-
ficient time for such considera-
ton it should be extended. What
we need is not more laws but
better ones. Every law when
passed should be enforced and
unless this is done the public
officials aid and abet in making
the people of our state a body of
law breakers. If half the laws
on our statute books were repeal.

The new board of county COM
missioners is realizing the need
of more modern machinery with
which to work Idaho county roads
and has ordered three graders, a
rock crusher, plows, scrapers and
several hundred feet of steel tub
ing for culverts. The crusher
will be shipped to Sites and put
to work at the foot of a mountain
of basalt rock on the Elk City
road where a considerable stretch
of grade will be macadamized.
The graders and other equipment
will be shipped to this point for
distribution over the prairie and
it is to be hoped one or more of
the graders can be put to work on
this side of the prairie this spring
and kept constantly in motion
until our roads are graded up in
to decent shape. If the commits

Judging from reports coming
from Boise the majority members
of the present legislature are so
bent on fulfilling party pledges
that they are throwing all sanity
to the four winds and rapidly
qualifying themselves for life
memberships in the old ''blue
law" club of ancestral days.
The local option bill which has
been recommended for passage
is as drastic and unreasonable in
many respects as any of the
blue laws" passed by our Puri-
tan fathers in their palmiest days
and if made a law will cause
more trouble and law suits than
a few. If we are to have pro-
hibition let it be state wide and
along sane lines. If we have
local option let it also be along
sane lines and not as outlined in
the bill now before the legisla-
ture. This state is burdened
with enough fool laws now with
out adding any more to the list.

Sunday is Valentine Day, a

fear to come out boldly, will send
their enemies spiteful tokens of
their i'll will. The senders of the
latter are usually more to be
pitied than those who receive
