THE IDAHO LUMBER CO.

The Idaho Lumber company is one
OF the largest retail lumber concerns
in the state of Idaho. Besides their
yard in BlackfOOt which is their head
quarters, the company owns yards at
Shelley, American Falls, Arco and
Powell.
The Idaho Lumber company was
organized i've years ago when it
took over the business of the Black
foot Lumber company. The company
handles a complete line of lumber,
building materials and cement, and
a greater portion of its stock is under
shed.
The officers of the Idaho Lumber
company are: F. w. Vogeler, presi-
dent; A. D. Quantrell, vice president;
K. l.. Archer, secretary, and l.. R.
Aldrlch, general manager. All of the
above gentlemen have had a large
experience in the lumber business.
Messrs Archer and Aldrich are the
active members of the company. Both
gentlemen came to Blackfoot about
six years ago; Mr.. Archer from Ark
kansas and Mr.. Aldrich from the
northwest, although he is a native
of Illinois. Mr.. Aldrich is a striking
example of the calibre of men that
nave done so much in developing this
wonderful country, and to him be-
longs a great portion of the credit
for the unqualified success of the
Idaho Lumber company.

PINGREE TOWNSHIP COMPANY

The history of Idaho is a tale of ir-
rigation. Within the last few years
the state has witnessed the most re-
markable growth under the Carey
Act which has thrown open to set
tiers thousands upon thousands of
acres of fertile land. In consequence
towns have grown up in former sage
brush deserts and hundreds have be-
come wealthy by investing in town
lots and irrigated farm lands. 1t is
one of the most interesting stories of
all the West, even discounting the
coming of the pioneers, for in the de-
velopment in irrigation can be traced
directly the wonderful growth of
Idaho during the last ten years, and
1t is still in its infancy.
For centuries the Snake river has
been running to waste and it was not
until recent years that its great value
was fully realized by local men inter-
esting capitalists to invest and with
the assistance of capable engineers
modern canals have been constructed
diverting this grand old stream over
and upon the many very fertile val
leys. An ample supply of water is
still left in the river to develop more
power and to irrigate thousands of
acres of additional land.
The American Falls Canal company
has already constructed and has now
in operation it's splendid canal system
irrigating $4,000 acres of land. !
These canals are the best that modern
engineering can devise and they carry
a river of water IS feet wide and |
feet deep. This company has most
valuable water rights, the same taxi

for business from the date of the
opening.
Thus it will be seen that Pingree
is the coming town of this section of
Idaho. That it will grow there is no
doubt. Why not look up the growth
and prosperity of the other cities that
have sprung up like magic through
out the state and then decide if it is
not worth while to get in on the
ground floor and make money by Sc
curing lot in Pingree.

invitations upon Yours Truly, asking him to

come and address them.
At Douglasville on the Doth of September,
we had glorious meeting. Then | went to
shake hands with the Vets at the Soldiers
Homeland when the heroes who had given
four years out of their lives to the service OF
their country pleaded for five minutes
speech, they got it: and when we whlrled
away it was to the music of the Rebel Yell
That night in the little Orpheum theatre
(the only one not previously engaged by
others) we packed 5000 human beings into
one throbbing mass; and we had a perfectly
successful time of it. In spite of all our pre-
cautions, however, one of the low-type row
dies actually got into box near the stage, and
tried to start breakup interruption. The
audience was so indignant that commotlon
spread through it like fire in dry stubble, and
it was all that I could do to quiet mig oacm
friends.
What l said to the rowdy, and what the
prompt policeman did to him, had the desired
effect. The well-paid intruders were awed
into silence and they made no further efforts
to do what they came there to do.
Col Frank H. Saffold, of Swalnsboro, Ga,
and my nephew, Alva D. Watson, of Still
more, Ga, came to the Orpheum on FOOT and
as they were walking up Marietta Street two
men ahead of them were talking of the meet
ing. One of these men was overheard to say
to the other
at the proper time, ace acW break up the
meeting'
And just how dangerously near they came
to doing so, is known to me, it not to any one
else. But it was the fiery temper of my own
friends that made the situation difficult to
handle-and the roacdies had counted upon
that gerry thing. See?
After Atlanta, came the great gathering at
Lawrenceville on Thursday, 22d September.
There were no special efforts to collect an
enormous crowd; but the man who sized up
the big Hoke Smith rally there, told me that
our crowd, Thursday, was larger, by 500 or
1000, than the Smith audience.

body is Bound to Vote
For HOke Smith
Nobody can take the journals of the late
gubernatorial convention and prove therefrom
that Hoke Smith got majority of the vote.
The courts have held that the journal of a de-
Lucrative body is the highest and best evil
dence of what was done by it. Not otherwise
than by the Congressional Record can proof
be made of Congressional doings. The same
rule applies to political conventions where
minutes are kept. Therefore, if it cannot be
proved by the journal of the late Guberna-
torial Convention in Atlanta that Hoke Smith
received ma ority of the votes of all the
delegates, then the fact cannot be established
in any other way.
It is literally the truth that the journal of
the convention fails to show that Holze Smith
received ma ority of the votes under the
county unit plan.
There are 146 counties in Georgia: six Of
these were entitled to six votes each in the
convention: twenty six to four votes each and
the remaining IA to two votes each. The full
vote Of the convention, therefore, by county
units was 1858. No matter how many dele
gates were present, 1858 was the sum total Of
the full vote which they could cast It is said
that the Fulton County delegation numbered
hundreds. AS only six votes could be cast for
Fulton County in the convention, it is evil
dent that the naming Of SO many delegates had
a purpose behind it. The bowling down of
Senator Griffith and Joe Hill Hall shows
what a portion of that purpose was.
Instead of the tumultuous mob at the Audi
forum, there should have been an orderly
meeting of 1858 gentlemen at the State House.
The roll Of counties should have been called;
the credentials of each delegation should have
been examined. No business should have been
transacted until the report of the Committee
on Credentials had been made and adopted.
After it had been ascertained in this custom
airy manner what delegates properly consti-
tuted the convention, the transaction of bust
ness IN order.
When the making of the nomination was
reached, the calling of the counties should
have proceeded in alphabetical order. AS
each county was reached, the spokesman of
the delegation should have proclaimed it's
vote and the clerk should have recorded it,
At the conclusion of the roll-call, the journal
would have shown to all the world who had
received the ma ority of the county unit
votes.
In the late convention in Atlanta only one
candidate was allowed to be voted for, and
the journal does not show that he received a
ma ority of all the votes
It naturally follows that the Democratic
Party of Georgia has no legal nominee for
Governor. The man who claims to be the
nominee simply rushed the convention with
knock-down, drag-out policy which he
thought could not be resented after the con-
vention adj ourned. He now knows BETTER and
he hasn't learned half the lesson vet.
