The call for the May meeting Of
The Eastern Idaho Press club has
just been made by Secretary J. w.
Jones of Rigby, and as an account
OF the observations Of the trip made
by the editors Is usually published In
fifteen or twenty papers, as means
! OF advertising Idaho and informing
local people< of the developments In
this state we publish the secretary's
letter.
i This association of newspaper men
Is winning wide reputation on ac-
count of Its persistence In good work,
| its originality In planning and carry
ing on cooperative boosting, and It's
work of raising the standard of use-
fulness Of the press in its relation to
the public. In the ranks of the as
ISOLATION are men of character who
not only have clear conception Of
the right relation of the press to the
people, but who insist that useful
ness and genuine helpful service
shall be the watchword to be followed
In planning every innovation and In
wedding out obsolete practices.
The club holds three meetings
year and combines recreation with
usefulness IN It's trips of observation.
This Is the secretary's letter to
members:
Rigby, Idaho, Aril 10, 1909.
Dear sir.--At meeting Of the ex-
ecutive committee, held at Pocatello
on Sunday last, program for our
May meeting was outlined and when
fully completed copy will be sent
you by Mr.. G. j. Lisle, the home
member of the committee. The club
members will be the guests OF Ex-
Governor Gooding, during our stay
at Gooding, he having informed your
secretary that our money will be no
good while tarrying in his town. TAX
ing this fact into consideration the
executive committee has changed the
date of meeting to the 9th and 10th
of May, instead OF the 10th and 18th
for the reason that on the latter date
big land sale will be held In Good
ing and 1t would not be possible for
him to entertain us on the 18th and
17th, on account OF hotel accommo-
datfons. trust this change Of date !,
will meet with your approval.
We will leave Pocatello the morn
ing OF the 9th, just what hour 1t is
impossible to say on account OF the
new timecard which will take effect
on the I'd of May. 1t will be able
to advise you as to this when / send
you transportation for the trip. A
special car will be provided for our
use from Pocatello.
In short the program has been ar 5
ranged as follows: Reach Gooding
about 10 o'clock, Sunday morning,
the 9th, lunch at noon; short pro-
gram Of literary and musical nature
after lunch; meet Immediately after
for hours business session; banquet
at the Lincoln hotel. Monday morn
ing business session, then take the
train for Jerome, stopping for an
hour at Wendall; take lunch at
Jerome, departing by team shortly
thereafter for Shoshone Falls, where
an hour will be spent in taking In
Idaho's Niagara. From here fresh
teams will meet the party and drive
to Twin Falls, In time to take the
train for home that evening.
The May meeting is the most inn
portant of the year, from business

RESERVOIR rs ALL RIGHT.

G. M. Wickham was in from Little
Lost River Thursday and says the
reservoir is all right and that they
have fine lot of settlers who are put
ting out crops and are pleased. Land
values have increased greatly since
he began operations there and some
of the old settlers consider themselves
worth twice as much now as they
were two years ago.

SEATTLE, Wash.-The nations
war veterans, and the sons and
wives and daughters Of them, are
carrying out big plans for represen-
tation at the Alaska Yukon Pacific
exposition. The Military Order OF
the Loyal Legion has pre-empted a
five-acre tract on the exposition
grounds and is establishing upon 1t
patriotic headquarters. The Grand
Army of the Republic will be repre-
sented and SO will the Sons of
Veterans, the Women OF the G. A. r.
and the Women's Relief Corps
Early in the year the Loyal Legion
entered into correspondence with the
War department at Washington with
the result that 1t has secured a splen-
did equipment and has already es-
tablished headquarters tents and a
model headquarters encampment
generally. Around the camp the
governments outdoor exhibit will be
placed. 1t consists of big and little
ordnance, of today and the other
days, civil war relics and relics of
the unpleasantness with Spain, so
that the visitor to headquarters will
be confronted by big modern 12-inch
rifles as we'll as carronades of the
century, picked up on the
beach in Manila bay.
Local G. A. r. posts are expecting

led by Uncle Joe Cannon, who claim
ed TO be acting In the interests OF
the independent oil men of Illinois
which voted against free oil. In tn
Senate the matter has not yet come
to the floor, and no prophecies are
being made.
Senator Clay Of Georgia distinguish
ed himself this week by attacking the
sugar trust with a ferocity and vehem-
ence unequalled for many days. There
can be no doubt that the sugar trust
is the worst OF all those whose In
terests are being considered by Con-
gress, but 1t is so strong that probabl
It will make good its graft, and get
away with its spells. Senator Clay's
performance would have been admir-
able in a Republican.
Many Senators have claimed that
importers of heavily taxed articles
could sell them at a profit were II
not that the retailers claim exorbitan'
and undue profits. The blind Senator
from Oklahoma, Mr.. Gore, introduced
a resolution providing that the differ
ence between importers and retail
ers' prices on imported goods be in
vestigated. There was a hot fighl
made upon 1t, and one OF the usual
Senatorial rough-houses was worked
up inside 8 minutes. There was new

in the same number of words than
that Of the Senator from Utah." said

THE HUMMING BIRDS

Some dainty hand, of maiden fair
AS stories go-once on time,
Amid the sunlight and the air,
Set out honeysuckle vine;
And, when it grew, it overspread
The fence, and form'd a yerdant
shed,
OF foliage green, and blossoms red.
The Humming Birds were wont TO
come,
At morn, and eve, to suck the
flowers,
And thus supply, with sweets, their
home,
Extracted from the lovely bowers;
And, oh, what pleasure, It's to see,
Those little birds, so merrily,
Fly to their nest, in leafy tree..
The nest, though swung, meath one
frail leaf,
Exposed to ev'ry birdlet foe,
Nor blasted hope, nor other grief,
We trust, its inmates e'er will know
May God e'er keep that little nest,
Free from care, and thus attest,
That homes, of love, by Him, are
blest
Let US, from the small Humming
birds.
This lesson learn; True love is shown
Palmer by our own acts than words.
And, by kind deeds, our love make
known;
Then, midst lifes verdant leafy bow
ers.
Wen shine, like honeysuckle flower
I And other lives be blest by ours.
From Wanetka and other poems

THE UNKNOWN DEAD.

There are graves that lie In che forest
deep,
There are graves on the plain alone,
Where the fallen soldiers calmly sleep
Meath the plain board marked "Un-
known"
There are graves where no prayer was
ever heard
Nor sound Of the muffled drum,
But their dirss is sung by the forest
bird,
While the wild bees dro~siIy hum.
Heed not II the falling drops greet our
ears
As we deck each lowly bed.
Gods clouds are weeping sorrowful
tears
Der the graves Of the unknown dead.

MORE BANDITS:-It is getting TO
be quite the fad to hold up western
express and make off with the mali
bags. 1t was done again Saturday
near Omaha, when a gang rushed the
famous train known as the Overland
Limited, and got seven registered
mail pouches. The exact sum there
was in them is uncertain but was
near $500, 900. This is the third
crime of the kind in a couple OF
months. and no one has been caught
yet.
AN OUTRAGE:-A justice OF the
Supreme Court of the State OF New
York recently in reducing the judge
ment awarded a negro for false arrest
declared that a negro would not be
as greatly Inundated as a white man
would in the eyes of the law by

know that the twelve jurymen though
differently.

weather has continued almost all over
the country, and as a result OF a
heavy rainfall in Oklahoma and the

WHEAT UP AGAIN:-Mr. Patten
has returned to Chicago, and while he
denies that he is exciting the wheat
market. it is fact that the upward
movement of prices which began abou
the time he returned has not quit. TIL
prices have gone even higher than
before, and show signs of going still
higher. 1t is much easier to run a
corner when the whole public is not
excited over 1t.
