Vacancy Caused by Resigna-
ton Of Whit,ou.

At the meeting Of the Board
of Trustees last Monday c. E.
Corker was appointed to fill the
vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of j. d. Whitson. The ap-
pointment of Mr.. Corker was fav-
orable to all members of the
board except Mr.. Wilson who in
quired if there was any founda-
tion to the report that Mr.. Corker
was interested in the Elmore
County Republican. Mr.. Wilson
voted against the nomination Of
Mr.. Corker and the rest of the
board voted for him.
The selection of Mr.. Corker is
good one and the board is for
tunate in getting him to consent
to fill the vacancy. He is one OF
the most widely known men in
Elmore County, having served as
county commissioner some years
ago. He is one Of the heaviest
property owners in the Village

sound business ability.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Agnes Bailey.
3+@++++++++++~#%%<+<<> I

Wednesday neither one of the
German classes recited. We dc
not know what kind fate favored
us but we. would like to give
thanks where thanks is due.
If you are interested in our
fine new gymnasium, attend the
entertainment to be given by Miss
Dack Montgomery of Cleveland ;
the proceeds of which will aid in
paying for this improvement.
With the incessant clicking of
two typewriters and the pound
ing of the carpenters in the gym
nasium, the Senior German class
gets plenty Of vocal exercise.
Latin notes are flying across
the assembly room. "Quem am.
asne?" one read and we hope
for his sake that her answer was
'"Te amo. -
Thursday morning we were
pleasingly entertained by visit
or who showed us some beautiful
pictures and explained a way by
which we may obtain similar ones
for our school rooms.
Thursday noon Mr.. Hansen
changed few seats but he con-
soled his poor victims by explain
ing that it was not for naughti-
ness that he did it but to fill up
the vacant seats at the back Of
the assembly room and leave the
front ones vacant.
Wednesday night in a meeting
of the Literary and Athletic So
ciety it was voted that Mr.. War
ner should choose the debaters
for the preliminary in our High
School, His choice has not been
announced yet.
Thursday evening after school
the Freshmen had a class meet
ing. It was brief and we do not
know what took place, One
Freshman said they were very
silly. Another was heard to re-
mark that they are green enoue'
without having green fer one Of
their coIors. All of which is
quite true.

ELECTION CON-,
TEST FILED
Election Of County Superintendent
Contested in Lincoln County.
Legal Point Involved

Shoshone, Dec.5.-The fruits Of
victory in the election of their
candidate, Mary Meade, for coun-
ty superintendent, by the demo-
Gratis of Lincoln county, seem
likely to turn to ashes in their
hands. The members Of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the repub-
lican county central committee,
through their attorneys, johnson
and Haddock, filed a contest Of
the election of Mary Meade upon
the ground that at the time OF
the election she had not been
practical teacher in this state for
two years and had not taught
one year under a first grade cer-
tificate and she is not the holder
of a first grade certificate, as
required by law. 1t appears that
for want Of these qualifications
Miss Meade is ineligible and her
election void. The outcome will
be awaited with interest as it is
understood a stiff contest will be
made.
The outcome Of the contest
for the superintendent's office in
Lincoln county will be watched
with considerable interest by the
people Of Elmore county mas
much as a parallel case exists
here. In the event that the
court decides that Mary Meade
cannot hold the office, it is be-
lieved by many that the super
intendent-elect in Elmore county
will also be disqualified.
The law governing the quail
fications Of a county superintend-
ent reads, in part, as follows;
THAT no person shall be eli
gible to the office Of County
Superintendent Of Public Instruc-
tion except a first grade) prac-
tical teacher of not less than two
years experience Tin Idaho) one
of which must have been while
holding valid first grade certif-
icate, issued by County Superin-
tendent, and the holder of a first
grade certificate at the time Of
his election or appointment, nor
unless twenty five years Of age"

FOR FRANCHISE
jess Hawley Of Boise Appears Be-
fore Board in Behalf Of Tellu-
ride Company.

At a special meeting of the Vii
lage Board of Trustees held Mon
day evening proposition for a
franchise to furnish the Village
with light and power was submit
ted by the Telluride Company
through their attorney Jess Haw-
ley, of Boise. The franchise was

granted.
The surveyors at present are at
Glenns Ferry running surveys for
the line. The Glenns Ferry Ga

concerning the project.
Mr.. WoodhOuse who has charge
Of the general work made the
following statement recently:
"The plant is to generate 10000
Horsepower and Allis-C Chalmers
company has received the con-
tract for the installation of the
hydraulic and electric machinery.
The terms Of the contract call
for completion Of the work by
March l 1911, and the system
will be in operation about May l.
The purpose of the plant is
to provide power for municipal
and irrigation purposes. The
plant will be one of the largest
in the state and will mean the
development of thousands of dol
lars worth of property in various
towns of western Idaho and east
ern Oregon.
The Telluride Power company
is one OF the largest in the United
States and was the first to install
the alternating current.
The plant, which will be located
on the Malad river, will be one
OF the largest in the state, the
company already having one of
10000 horsepower at Grace, Ida.

Where Settlers and Wealth Come
From

Twenty one Of the oldest and
best developed agricultural coun-
ties in Nebraska have lost 1873
people in the last ten years while
the state of Iowa has lost 1882
people from some of the oldest
counties in the state.
The counties in Nebraska show.
ing the losses are those in the
Missouri river valley about Oma-
ha and Lincoln where land is
worth from 500 to $l35 per acre
Those who have left these farms
are the men who have made a
success of farming and are sure
of success wherever they 60 as
they take wealth with them.
1t seems that of the men and
women who are settling the new
states directly west OF Nebraska
eastern Nebraska and western
Iowa are furnishing a good num-
Der of them. If 5000 Nebras-
kans have come on out further
west during the last ten years, it
is sure that more can be interest
ed in this country.
The state Of Idaho and numer-
Gus enterprising land and devel-
opment companies have a ranged
an honest and comprehensive ex-
hibit Of the products Of tnis state
which will be shown at the West
ern Land Products Exhibit to be
held in Omaha January 1S to %.
This is one Of the really big
land shows" to be held in the
United States and will give men
and women of Missouri Mississippi
river valleys almost as good an
idea of this state as a visit to
our farms and orchards.
Those who are making these
exhibits for this state are urging
everyone living here and having
friends in the east or middle west
to write to these people and call
attention to the exhibit of our
state in Omaha. A number of
western states will be represent
ed. Write a number of letters
today calling attention to the l.
daho exhibit-tell your friends
they cannot come out and see us,
not to fail to 60 to Omaha and
see our products. The West rn
Land Products Exhibit is going
to be big thing for us as it is
going to show our products to
thousands of people right in g
heart Of the country where our
new settlers are coming from.

MUST LOOK AHEAD
ALWAYS WISE TO PLAN MEALS
IN ADVANCE.
BY Doing That, Cheap Cuts Of Meat
Can BE Made to Do az Well 40
Those That Are Much More
Expensive.
BY JEssIcA r. BEsAcK.

Director Department of Domestic Sci
ence and Art. National Corn Exposition,
Omaha, Neb.
To delay the planning Of a dinner
until the hour Of its preparation has
arrived is a bad policy. A hasty or
der over the telephone will then bring
only picked over materials which
there is no time to cook. An appeal
to the head of the house to bring
down a steak or other meat that will
cook quickly" results in belated
meal and often an expensive one.
A housewife should do her own
marketing and select her meats with
care. The cheaper cuts Of meat are
just as nutritious as the more expen-
sive ones, and they can be made very
palatable.
Every housekeeper should know the
anatomy of the meat-producing AMI
mails, the location Of the different cuts
Of meat and how to cook them,
whether she is compelled to look aft
er their preparation or not. This Is
not, hard to do, and requires but little
time. Any butcher will be glad to as
sist at time when he is not busy.
A few things to remember. in buy
Ing meat, will be Of help.
The distribution of fat in hecks
through the meat indicates slow fat
tening and good feeding. This meat
will be more tender than where the
meat is gathered in punches by quick
fattening.
Yellow fat indicates age and ma,
mean tough meat.
Tough meat will become tender II
allowed to stand a short time in vine
gar. The Italians use olive oil and
vinegar for this purpose. Flank.
chuck or round steak will be benefited
If treated in this manner.
Meat is much more tender after
hanging, for the stiffness Of the mus
cles to pass away. A great deal OF
meat is bought too fresh and as con-
sequence 1t Is tough. This is the rea-
son tender meat is not often obtained
in the small markets. Beef should
hang from two to three weeks.
Some recipes:
Meat Balls with Horseradish Sauce.
One pound chopped chuck. one tea
spoonful salt. 1-6 teaspoon pepper.
Make into Arm balls and scar in hot
butter, cook at low temperature and
serve rare.
Horseradish Sauce.-One cup horse
radish, vinegar to cover, two tea
spoons sugar, one teaspoon salt, one
sour apple, grated. Serve cold.
Salisbury Steak. - One pound
chopped chuck steak, one teaspoon
salt, -one tablespoon lemon juice, two
tablespoons minced parsley, Cook as
above, and serve rare.

Good Spanish Pie.

For one pie get large flank steak
cut up in large pieces and boil until
tender, then cut up real small. saving
the water. Seed and boil ten dry red
peppers; when tender scrape out the
inside with a spoon. Heat some lard
and butter in pan, add finely chopped
onion and parsley. then add meat and
inside of red pepper. Fry little. stir
ring all the time, then add water from
meat and steam little. Line a deep
pan with piecrust, put in the meat, cut
up two or three hard boiled eggs over
the meat, and also olives on the top,
then the top crust. and bake.

Mint Sauce.

One cupful of cider vinegar, two
cupfuls of brown sugar; buy five cents
worth OF fresh mint leaves; wash
clean and chop up; boil all together
for Is minutes; then strain and bot
tie for use. This is good and will
keep for years.
