FORUM CORRESPONDENTS.

The aim and purpose of The Forum
is to get all the news that is fit to

possible-and not merely one or two.
The Forum has a large list of cor

them very highly. For their guidance
and for the Improvement Of their serv-

a great while some one who has a
grudge against a neighbor writes a
letter to The Forum in which sly
thrust is made at the person he or she
doesn't like Sometimes it is cleverly
disguised and the editors are unable to
detect it, This should never be done,
and it is earnestly hoped that no cor

ings should never dictate in giving
news. Never overlook the comings and

Travellers Tales

He hadn't been inside a. church in
twenty five years, this travelling man,
not since he was small boy and was
led there by his parents, and he didn't
know just exactly how to act. He came
to Fargo one Saturday, wanted TO stay
over Sunday for he had a girl here
that he thought a good bit of. Now,
she was pious young maiden and
when he made his appearance at her
house that Saturday night he was given
warm welcome and she suggested
during the evening that it would be
right and proper for the two to go to
church the next morning. He loved the
girl and he didn't want to appear as a
Hottentot in her eyes, but it was with
fear and great trembling that he hove
up to her home the next morning at
$3.50 ready for what might come. On
the way over he told her that he didn't
just understand how he was to act in
her particular church.; that he guessed
he had never been inside one before
and she replied that there wasn't much
difference in her church than in any
other and for him to do Just as she
did and he would be all right. And
he did
1t was communion morning and ev-
erything went along all right
during the main service and
he bobbed up and down when it was
necessary and remained standing when
he saw her doing the same thing. He
didn't pay much attention to what was
going on in the front of the church.
He was too intent on watching his own
conduct and in admiring the pretty
face beside him. Suddenly the Young.
lady arose in her seat and he did the
same thing and as she walked forward
TO the altar to partake of the commun~
ion he did the same thing 1t was in
vain that she gave her hand a sort of
backsweep, as much as to say. "Sit
down. You don't belong in this" for
he didn't see and he continued on and
when she knelt down he did the same
thing, but she was in time to save him
from what might have been called sac
religious, for she mana ged to whisper.
Don't take anything. You are not
supposed to. You're no church mem
ber," and he didn't.

Wants to Join Us

A strong move is being made by
the Potlatchers, since the agitation
over county division has occurred in
Nez Perez county, to have Big Pot
latch ridge segregated from Nez
Perez and Joined to Latah county.
We understand the move has been
in consolidation for some time but
that publicity has only been given
it the last week.
The unanimity OF opinion that it
is a proper step is worthy OF note,
none as yet being found to oppose
the move and all who have so far
been consulted, being enthusiastic
supporters.
Several petitions have been circu-
lated and will be presented to the
legislature asking for the change, as
it il there pointed out, that Kend-
rick, now in Latah county, is the
commercial, social and political head
quarters for this ridge.
The leaders of this move will meet
with the Nez Perez representatives
at lilo next week and ask their sup
port for the segregation.

Boise.-The speakership for the
eleventh session OF Idahos legislature
appears to be triangular with the pos
sibility of a dark horse carrying off
the honors. The fight is destined to
break into the open within the next
few days.
There are now three announced can
didates in the race, Charles D. Storey
of Ada county, E. G. Davis of Oneida,
and J. K. Bell of Latah. The possible
dark horse is Peter G. Johnson OF
Bingham county. 1t is not believed
that other candidates will be an
nounced unless there is a general tie
up in the contest.

BIG Fortune Is Stake.

Boise.-A fortune estimated at ST.
100000 is the stake over which heat
ed contest was waged before the
state land board. On one side ap-
peared settlers who are residents on
the famous Twin Falls irrigation
tract, and on the other, F. H. Bull,
the multi-millionaire hacker of the
Twin Falls Land & Water Company,
and known in this state as the
Father of Irrigation"
The probable outcome Of the con-
test will be that it will be deferred.
The large amount involved was con-
sidered by Mr. Bull as sufficient to
force him across the continent from
Sharon, Pa, to direct personally the
presentation of the company's case
before the board.
