house and make American Falls the
center of the government of Power
county. The fact that you came so
near getting a county ought to en-
courage you, that if you try again
you will be successful. l know the
sentiment in a good many parts of
Idaho is that you have reasons in
favor of a new county and l be-
lieve if any county in the state is
created l see no reason why Power
county should not be created
have not had time to look around
near as much as 1 desire l also
want to compliment the Remington
on their excellent service. -

Tam going to say In this work
Tam often reminded of the story
of the maiden who had to choose
between the man she loved and
prince. She was much interested
in Theosophy, and chose the prince
for the reason that it would make
her field an empire, and aid her
in spreading the doctrine of her
choice. In the field of human en-
deavors many people have to choose
between the things they would like
to do, and their empire. When l
took up newspaper work it seemed
that it was my empire. l saw
an opportunity of presenting throug
the press What l wanted to present,
the same as the lady saw the oppor-
tunity through her position as first
lady of the empire. ! am Impress
ed with the thought that each of
us has at some time chosen between
what he loved and his empire. IL
think you people Of American Falls
have done the same, else l do not
see why you are here
