Chas. i. Harris, chairman of the
democratic eoun'y central commit
tee, attended the democratic love
feast at Pocatelo last, Saturday
night, and in conversation with a
representative of the Examiner, he
stated that there was goodly turn.
out Of the unterritied, representa-
tives being present from all the
southeastern counties, together with
several from Boise. A program of
speaking was listened TO, besides
selections from a fine orchestra.
Mr.. Harris stated that the plan of
organization was talked over for the
forthcoming election, and it was de-
cided to put up whirlwind cam
paigh which will start aa soon as
the results of the primaries were
known. The party factions of the
past few years seem to be obliterat-
ed to a large extent, and as usual,
before the campaign, those present
were bracing themselves with the
belief that the democrats have a
show this fall.
just who the nominee for govern
or will be, Mr.. Harris did not know
and would not venture an opinion,
but he said there were no less than
eight or nine available men who
would make the race If called on,
though il was not probable that
more than two or rhree, and maybe
not that number, would go before
the primaries. II will depend oil
how the sentiment shapes up dur
ing the next month or so as to how
many will be in the field. South
eastern Idaho would like the nom
ination, and if it could be brought
here, either ID. L. Evans of Malad,
or Ed. Coltman of Idaho Falls,
would probably make the race.
There will be several names men.

SAYS DROUTH IS
A REAL Benefit

"Thc extreme drouth Is the best
thing thatssha happened for the dry
farms IN years" said DIR Widstoe
of the Utah agricultural college to
a Logan Republican representative
last Monday. cit has shown that
wherever proper dry farming
methods have been followed the
grain stands up well, while were
wrong methods have prevailed the
grain is down"
With such optimistic words
Pres. Widstoe began an interview
which was full Of hope for the pres.
poets in Utah dry farming circles.
"More than two-thirds of the
crop of those farms where proper
methods have been followed said
be, "will materiallze in spite of the
severest drouth. Furthermore, it
has taught this great lesson, that
the farmer must cultivate each year
for the driest possible season and
not for a wet one. This lesson
alone will be invaluable to the
farmer, and in future will mean
more for him than any loss which
may result from this years drouth.

TALK ABOUT RAIL-
ROAD TO PARIS

President ]. r. Shepherd and
Senator VIM. j.. Rich of Paris, met
with the directors of the Montpelier
Commercial club last Monday night
to talk over the proposed railroad
between Montpelier and Paris.
The situation at present, rs stat
cd by President Shepherd, is about
as follows: The Oregon Short Line
Railroad company, through Vice
President Bancroft, has given the
Paris people assurance that the
branch to that town will be con-
structed and trains operating on it
within two years from the time
deeds to the right Of way are turned
| pver TO the railroad company -
Options have been secured on all
but few pieces of property through
which the road will run, and one
object of the visit of Messrs. Shep-
herd and Rich was TO ascertain
what assistance, if any, Montpelier
would lend toward securing the
right of way. It will require in
the neighborhood of $4,000 to close
the deals for the right of way and
stations at Ovid and Paris. OF this
amount, nearly half has already
been subscribed and the Paris gen.
tlemen expressed themselves as be
ing confident that the balance could
be raised without any difficulty, If
Montpelier will contribute a few
hundred dollars.
While The directors of the COM
mercial club were not IN position
TO guarantee any definite amount,
they assured Messrs. Shepherd and
Rich that they would take the mat.
ter up with the Montpelier citizens
and ascertain what they were willing
TO do.
As the construction of a branch
line TO Paris would no doubt result
benefcially 10 Montpelier, there II
little question but what the towI
will contribute toward the right oi
way fund.
It is the general belief that thaI
terminal of the branch line woult
not long remain at Paris, but tha
it would be extended on to Fisl
Haven aud possibly beyond tha
, point.
, In that event Montpelier woule
reap large benefits, as it would ad,
| greatly to its prominence as th
J commercial center of Bear LAX
Valley.
The committee from Paris, whicl
e has had this matter in charge 70
. some months past, has worked hard
and the Paris people are now feel
e ing iubllant over the bright pros
: poets of their long cherished hop
0 being realized.

LEWISTON NORMAL GYM. OPEN

The new gymnasium of the Lew
iston State Normal was formally OPP
ened last week. 1t is said to be the
finest gymnasium in the Inland En-
pire. 1t is a large two story brick
building, finished in the English half
timber style. The main floor will be
used as a combined gymnasium and
auditorium. A suspended running
track will encircle the room and a
gallery will be in the rear offering
seating accommodations for ESQ. 1t
is estimated that at least 1000 peo-
pie can be accommodate in the gym.
On the milan floor are private rooms
for making physical examinations
and the Office of the physical direc-
tor. In the basement are the separ,
ate, apartments for the men and wom-
en- students with lockers for $50
women and 1876 men. There too is
the swimming pool, 25 by 40 feet,
with depth of from 4 to 10 feet.
There are 10 shower baths. The COM
pletion of the gym. marks another
step forward in the progress of the
Lewiston State Normal. The stud
ents there now have ideal facilities
for exercise and the playing of in
door games such as basket ball and
indoor tennis and base ball.

LARGER MEN-SMALLER WORLD

Last Friday the steamer Kentucky
was off the eastern coast of North
Carolina on her way. around to Sc
attic to serve in the Alaskan trade.
She had sprung a leak, and at 1890
her wireless operator sent out call
for help, giving the latitude and long
itude. The message was caught up
by stations along the coast and flash
ed to Washington. In five minutes
after 1t was received there the Rev
enue Gutter Yamascraw was on her
way to the rescue, and the battleship
Louisiana was weighing anchor to
follow.
The steamer Almo of the Manory
line happened to be at sea within
fifty miles of the Kentucky and i'm
mediately flashed back a response
and started to the rescue. Other YES
sells at greater distances did the same
thing, and the port officials consulted
records of departures of various YES
sells and sent messages to these same
steamers to go to the rescue of the
Kentucky, giving the exact location,
and received responses that they were
already racing to the spot.
But no further information could
be gotten from the Inflated ship that
had sent out the distress call, and
the supposition was that she was
sinking to the extent that her ma
chinery was under water, and there
was no longer any current for the
wireless apparatus to operate on. In
a few hours the men were taken off
the sinking vessel and carried to port
in safety

+. N. POTTER

Frank NJ Potter, a printer who liv-
ed here some years ago, writes from
Salt Lake City that he has not for
gotten Blackfoot, and is anxious to
know how much the place has chang
ed in the years since he left it. He
wants copy of the Idaho Republi-
can, and promised if we sent one
that he would read every word of
English in 1t.
Mr.. Potter was our printer when
we began our newspaper experience,
and taught the editor many of the
differences between a printing press
and mill race. He has been for
several years in the mining camps of
Nevada, and sent us a check for
$1,000 on John S. Cook & Co., Bank
ers, Ryolite, Nevada, for subscrip-
ton to the Republican, and dated the
check December At, 1920.
This is the largest check We have
yet received. on subscription since
he broke us in at the business, and
we expect to have it framed when we
get moved into our new modern Of
flee at the corner of Pueblo and
Beuna Vista streets.

PARTY TONIGHT

There will be, party of young
folks at the Byers home tonight
the Busy Bees entertaining the
Knights of King Arthur.
These organizations are made ul
of girls and boys about twelve OF
fourteen years old who are studying
to emulate the characters indicated
by the names of their orders.
The Knights of King Arthur were
organized by Mrs. Jos. Jacobs and
Miss Olive Hunting, and is being
followed out by Mr.. Max Smith who
is taking the work into athletics as
well as covering much of the study
begun by Miss Hunting.
II somebody asks what results may
be obtained or what good done by
such individual efforts as this, we
could answer best by telling of the
fame of Hillsborough, North. Caro-
lima.
In the closing years of the last
century, lady living at Hillsborough
observed that there were a lot of
boys and girls growing up without
seeming to have any purpose in life,
and with no pride or interest in their
town, so she got some of them to-
gether and began teaching them TO
be kind to every living thing. She
taught them to show an interest in
strangers who appeared on the streets
of the town, and to be ever ready to
give them information and to show
them around, telling them things of
interest.
This lead to study of the his
tory of the town, a desire to have
nicer streets, cleaner alleys, nicer
yards, more flowers and shrubs. 1t
resulted in the ten-year-old children
bidding people polite good morn
ing" and the boys lifting their caps
when they met lady. Strangers
looking about the town were agree
ably surprised at the courtesies ex-
tended to them by the young life of
the town,-the interest shown in
them, the willingness to give IT, om
information, to go with them to J. mt
up places or persons they wishe ! to
find; their readiness to give the his
tory of the town and the history of
enterprises and objects that had to
do with the town; the pride they felt
in it all and the perfectly home
feeling which this gave to the WISH
tor, resulted in people wanting to set
tie in Hillsborough. 1t gave greater
values to real estate and attracted :
class of people that gave encourage
ment to the practice that had started
the good work. s..
Somebody here might take up the
work with young people on the Hills
borough plan and do as much good
in that way without money, as the
club is doing in it's way.

OF all the classes who receive bene-

rated not more than second.
Inc real estate dealer usually re-
celves direct benefits from the influx
OF new capital and new settlers. and
as the process goes on, the price of

receive the benefits of the advance

WHAT THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
is DOING

People who are asking what the
Comemrcial club is doing, are in
vited to visit the club rooms and in
spect the rooms and the furniture
inspect the stacks of booklets and
folders being mailed out each day to
anxious enquirers, and observe that
1t Is getting to be a headquarters for
Eimen who wish to meet on business
engagements or for recreation. Dur
ing the past ten days the club rooms
were used for two farmers mass
meetings, one meeting of the Farm
ers Milling Company, one meeting of
local mining company, meeting to
form an athletic club, a meeting to
Iorganize choral association, the
city council meetings, meeting of
the Comemrcial club, one meeting of
the board of governors, and appoint
ments are being made for holding
the annual meetings of canal COM
panies and horse companies, and
some of the institute lectures there.
If the club were doing nothing
more than to provide a place for
meetings for all these interests, 1t
would be doing good work. but &C
is inducing people to investigate this
locality with view of spending
money here and making this their
home, and that benefits the people
who are already here.
