The holiday week was ushered in
with a very enjoyable luncheon given
by Mesdames Boone and Dyer and
Miss Mcfarland at the home of Mrs.
E. Boone on Monday. The balance Of
the afternoon was spent in playing
unique game called Christmas Tree.
Each guest was also asked to write
one New Year resolution; these were
collected and read and the guests
were asked to write down the name
of the person they thought had writ
ten it. Mrs. P. A. Boulton showed her
ability of guessing human nature by
drawing the most resolutions ascrib-
ed to the proper persons and was Civ
en- a beautiful calendar for her
shrewdness. Places at luncheon were
found by matching emblems appropri-
ate to the Yuletide season. The fol-

The following interview was grant
ed the Tribune by Mr.. Faurot, who
was one of the gentlemen who were
in charge of the Caldwell exhibits at
Council Bluffs and Omaha:
When the question of making an ex-
hibit at the agricultural and horticul-
tural products of the Boise and Pay
cite valleys was brought before the
people, all were of the same opinion
as to the value of such a movement,
The great question was VINO would
undertake the work Of getting to-

that the G. A. r. encampment may
have to be reduced to delegate en-
campment if it is impossible to get
rates from the railroads, at present
disposed to insist upon full tariff
rates. A delegate convention will
amount to an attendance Of about
1900. The encampment attendance
has exceeded 100000 in the past.

IDAHO PUTS IN A DOUBLE BILL.
Official Display of Products and of r.
rigatiOn Work.


Idaho has inserted a double wedge
into public attention at the National
Corn exposition. The first is the Of
tficial state display of grains and
grasses seen in the state booth; the
second, the lectures and stereopticon
views of the United States Reelama-
ton service, which are set forth in
tent at Sixteenth and Harvey streets.
The latter has really no official con-
nection with the National Corn expo
sition, but the government officials in
charge came here on account of the
National Corn exposition.
The two, however, supplement each
other admirably. In the reclamation
quarters pictures are shown and lee
lures are given about the work the
government is doing in the southern
part of the state by irrigation, and in
the state booth the products of these
fields may be seen. The lectures and
views are well worth seeing and hear
ing mad the many people who have
looked at the official state exhibit are
loud in admiration thereof.-Omaha

wonder to the thousands Of people
who saw the results obtained and the
advantages and opportunities our
beautiful valleys offered the home
seeker and the capitalist. The benef-
cial results of this exhibit will be far
reaching, as the thousands who saw
our products, carried with them to
their homes, a mental picture that
time can never remove. We have a
right to be proud when it is under
stood that we were compelled to COM
pete with the world, as to the merits
of our agricultural and horticultural
products. The victory won, can be
better appreciated.
We won first and second awards on
alfalfa seed, second ON timothy and
third on alfalfa in bale, and had our
hay been put up with a view of ar
tistic beauty, rather than to show the
value of a food product, we would
have won everything in that line, as it
was a conceded fact that the quality
of our product was far superior to
anything entered in competition.
Our oats, wheat, rye, and barley,
both as shown in straw and threshed
grain, was a striking comparison
when placed side by side with the
products of the states east of the
Rocky Mountains. Oats from Canyon
county, weighing 81 pounds to the
bushel and producing so bushels tC
the acre, made the oats of the Middle
West and Eastern states, with pro-
duction of from 10 to % bushels pei
acre and weighing from is to q
pounds to the bushel, look very poor
indeed, the same can be said of oul
wheat, barley and rye.
The only successful competitor Can
yon county had was an exhibit o
Swedish Select oats, grown by an En-
glish seed firm under intense cultiva
ton and by the most expert agricul
turists. These oats weigh 90 pound

Railroad Rates.

D. E. Burley, general passenger
agent, Oregon Short Line, writes as
follows: I'VE shall be glad to offer
the usual reduction of one and one
third fare on certificate plan, subject
to total attendance of fifty or more
from outside points by those who hold
receipts for full fare going. Receipts
showing purchase of going ticket not
earlier than three days prior to open
ing date of meetings, will be honored
for return tickets if conditions are
complied with within three days after
it's close"
The State Horticultural association,
Boise Payette Fruit association and
State Dairy association, Mr.. Burley
advises, will be handled as one meet
ing. This should make it possible to
secure the reduction offered if all who
attend any of these meetings will be
particular to take receipts for fare
paid, and have the secretarys Of the
associations certify to their attend
anCe.
Please do not overlook these in
structions.

rooms amidships that used to open
into the engine room have been com

The after deck has been boarded
in and transformed into a reading

and here the sailors of the Seven

lands. congregate in the afternoons
and evenings to find out what Is go
Ing on in the great world.
Really the Seaman's Bethel is a
sort OF institutional church. The after
part of the hold has been fitted up as
a gymnasium. Here also is a bowl
ing alley: and in another corner are
bath tubs and water heater. An
other part of the hold Is fitted up
with hunks, where the sailor who
finds himself broke" between voy-
ages is made welcome to spend the
night-or as many nights as he
pleases.

on THE Place of Animals in Human

of the meanest animal is full of mys-

ally. He occupies Complementary

Such a conception of animal life is a
