Pocatello Tribune
Forty delegates from ten of the
principal towns in the greatest inland
empire on earth-the Upper Snake
| River Valley-took possession of Po-
catello yesterday afternoon. The oc-
casion was the sixth session of the
board of governors of the League of
Commercial clubs of the upper valley
The advance guard of delegates, in
the person of strong trio from the
Teton Basin country, arrived on the
Yellowstone special from the north
yesterday morning. The rank and
file and the officers arrived on the
Pocatello-Marysville special at 1.30.
A big delegation of local business
men, headed by Secretary Burt B.
Corliss of the Pocatello Commercial
club, welcomed the visitors at the de-
pot and escorted them to the Ban
mock hotel, where they became the
guests of the city at delightful
luncheon. There was a delay in
throwing open the doors of the dining
room but 1t was worth waiting for,
because Chef Fred Snodgrass of the
Bannock grill and his able corps of
assistants and mattresses certainly
did themselves proud. The menu,
reduced to mere language gives only
faint idea of the perfection of SER
vice, the daintiness of every dish and
the relish with which every man pre-
sent partook.
When black coffee was served, two
boxes Of cigars, presented by Fred
Murphey, the Pocatello wholesale
cigar dealer, were passed around and
it was then that Secretary Corliss
arose to deliver over the freedom of
the city to the visitors and to bid
them hearty welcome to the Gate
City of Idaho.
He said that while the Pocatello
Commercial club Is not yet member
of the league, 1t is heart and soul in
accord with the aims of the organiza-
tion-to build up the great valley of
the Snake. to bring more people to
this favored region, to populace the
vacant places and transform the
whole region into happy and prosper
GUS homes. Holding aloft the Leagues
white and gold badge, bearing the
names of the towns affiliated with
the league, he said that it brought to
him a mental picture of wonderful
valley, more fertile far than the fa-
bled valley of the Nile-a region of
prosperous towns, happy homes, fine

be apparent to many, who have not
been in touch with affairs of the
musical world, but of the real value
OF music there are no difference Of
opinion.
Perhaps no community in the
whole United States is more able to
Judge of the value of music as a
commercial enterprise than Linds-
borg, Kansas.
Quoting from paper published in
Des Moines, Iowa, we have the fol-
lowing.
"Lindsborg is town of about 1900
people, about 1876 miles due west of
Kanass city. Lindsborg has no police
force and no Jail, there are no moss
backs and no hammer and paddock
club and when the question of mu-
nicipal lighting plant was presented
to the voters, SO per cent of the bal
lots read Yes.
"The Messiah, given there each
year for 25 years, besides turning
funds into the treasurer of Bethany
college, has been its greatest adver-
tisement also.
The annual festival has drawn the
eyes of the whole United States and
1t is growing in Importance each
ear"
Members of the Commercial club,
for Lfndsborg has such an organiza-
tion, guarantee the expenses of each
festival.
Last year about 10000 people en-
tered Mndsborg for the festival. This

Stories have been circulated to the
effect that workmen who made re-
pairs and did painting and decorating
at the Brady home in Boise saw large
quantities of liquors in the basement
and were invited by the governor to
help themselves.
Efforts have just been made to de-
termine the truth of such reports. and
a number of workmen of different
trades who did such work were in
terviewed. Only one, the building
inspector, and the man from whom
all the stories seemed to start, claims
now that he was there when Brady
was in Seattle, and the house was be-
ing epaired. A Jap was taking care
of things, and he saw some whiskey
on table and drank some. He says
he saw few bottles in the cellar,
but did not investigate to see what
was in them how or how they were

where time hangs heavily on his

Last week we requested that fri

that callers can do some good. Do

MUSICAL FESTIVAL FOR A WEEK
May BE Possible, Result of the Eff
forts of Mr.. Kowdon at Meeting
of Board of Governors

In another column is report of
the meeting of the board of COVER
nors of the League of Commercial
Clubs of the Upper Snake River Val
ley.
Mr.. Rowdon's remarks at that
meeting created so much enthusiasm
on the subject of music that every one
present entered most enthusiastical-
ly into the spirit of great festival
that will embrace Pocatello, Black
foot and Idaho Falls and continue for
full week.
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Row
don and endorsed by several men,
bers of the board of governors, in
wolves the affliation of the three
towns in united effort to
have such festival as will attract
the attention of the entire country to
this region of fertile valleys and pro-
life gifts of nature to the farmer and
rancher.
1t is expected that this form of
presenting Upper Snake river valley
with its varied character of riches
will be of more value than any other
form of advertising that could be
adopted.
In order to carry forward these
plans it will be necessary to have a
choral organization in each of the
towns, such as now exists at Black
foot, and the first step toward the
consummation of the movement will
be to organize these choruses. The
desirability of these festivals may not

pire as fair as the sun ever shone on.
And then, holding in his other hand
the "Pocatello for Me" button, Mr..
Corliss said, God bless the man who
said Let's pin 'em all together. ="
AS POSTMASTER Mr.. Corliss then in
troduced Professor Rowdon of Black
foot, who is at the head of the Black
foot Choral Festival, who spoke en-
tertainingly and convincingly of THE
Commercial Value of Music" He
said there was no question that music
stimulated artistic and mental activ-
ity, but few people recognized its
value as commercial factor. He
then told of the recent musical festi-
val at Backfoot, which attracted
many noted artists to the little Grove
City, called attention to the town
through column after column OF ad-
vertising matter, and brought from
a noted New York newspaper a valE-
able special article. "That festival"
said Professor Rowdon, 4cost the
people of Blackfoot 5000. It's value
as an advertisement of the Grove City
was worth $4,000" And the speaker
was cheered to the echo. Professor
Rowdon said he wanted to broaden
the scope of the Choral society in
Blackfoot to make 1t include the
Great Upper Snake river valley. He
wanted annual festivals to be held
and noted artists attracted from all
over the nation. He wanted the
towns of the upper valley linked
closer In the ties of artistic endeavor,
but above all he wanted the world
to know that in this marvelously fer
tile agricultural and commercial re-
gion there Is artistic talent in abund-
ance. People do not hesitate, said
the professor, to come here to people
the valley, to till the fertile soil, to
develop the rich mines, to cultivate
the bounteous orchards, to dig ditch
es and build towns and schools and
churches, because there are superior
advantages along those lines. They
will not hesitate to come here when
they come to know that superior
musical advantages are also offered.
Professor Rowdon said he had cast
his lot in this favored region; this is
to be his home; he was so much in
terested as any man in seeing the

labeled. Each of the other men when
interviewed stated that he did not re-
call seeing any liquors, that none had
been offered them and any such stor-
les purporting to have come from
them were faxed up.
The object of the tories seems to
have been to show that the governor
was not sincere in his temperance
stand, and that he does not observe
the law himself. The VETS claim
to have photographs of invoices for
a large amount of choice liquos de-
livered to the Brady home, and a
photo of the check by which Brady
paid for it, amounting to something
like thousand dollars. If they have
these things it is now up to them to
show them. If not, it is very good
tine for them to drop the subject and
cast about for some other line of
attack.
