HE DIDN'T CORRECT IT

Two weeks ago the Optimist criti-
cised the directors of the fair for
sending the premium list away from
home to have it printed, notwith-
standing that Office made bid on it
that was $110 lower than the price
made by the very competent Salt
Lake man. We thought at the time
he must have made typographical
error of one hundred dollars, and
that he would correct it: in the next
issue, but the report went out and
an Idaho Falls paper taking the fig
ures as given in the Optimist. pub
lished an editorial sustaining the
position taken by the Optimist, and
then the Optimist reprinted that opin-
ion to further condem the manage
ment Of the fair @4 y
We know that the article as pub
lished by the Optimist was not correct
nor anything approaching correctness,
and in making fight upon the direc-
tors of the fair the editor should con-
fine himself to the facts. IL he has
made. a typographical error he has
passed an opportunity to correct it.
AS a matter of principle the Opti-
mist writer has the right side of the
case. The association has not always
shown that it appreciated its home
newspapers, but we have refrained
from making public fuss about it.
We have told the directors what we
thought about 1t from time to time,
and have resolved several times that
We would never help them again in
the thankless task, but they have to
do SO much thankless work them
selves that we generally reconsider
our resolution in midsummer and
take up the work again and lug it
through.
There are number of things that
might be said in criticism of the man
agement of the fair, but until we find
men who can and will take it up for
the public good and do it better, it
seems to us to be the logical thing to
yield to their ways of doing. We
venture the guess that if about a
hundred farmers would take hold
and work and worry for next year it
would please the present board, and
the people. But we doubt if more
than half dozen farmers can be
found who sufficiently realize that
they are the ones who receive the
greatest benefits from the fair, to i'm
pei them to act on the board or even
to take fifty dollars worth apiece of
the capital stock to help it along.
This office will donate years SUBJ
scription to as many farmers as will
take $50 worth of fair stock before
the first of March, and it is an even
bet that nobody will claim it.

TALBOT WANTS SOME MORE

Truxton Talbot the editor of the
New Time at Mountain Home says
we published something about him
and did not send him any copy of the
paper that week. We disclaim hay-

Guided that he does not read his ex-
changes closely enough to know what
others are saying of him editorially,
and hereafter will send him a mark
ed copy when we criticise him, and
will begin this week with such COM
munication. fE
Trux is edifying f?) the people Of
Mountain Home, or so many Of them

read his rot, with his favorite ex-
pressions-"lie," liar" deliberate

WILL BE GOOD NOW

There is a good joke passing
around in relation to the Mackay
Dam. Sor the information of those
not acquainted with the matter of
its condemnation, and the conflicting
opinions put forth we explain that
A. l.. Folwer and l.. e. Dillingham; of
Mackay were active in getting it in
vestigated and in getting it before
the state land board in the light of
the investigator Lippincott. Incl
dentally we remark that this Office
took the view that the dam was con-
structed much better than the "im-
partial board" of engineers pronoun-
ced it. and because We analysed the
situation and published what we
thought about it,some of the Mackay-
ties rose in horror and demanded to
know when this writer became civil
engineer. Editor Dillingham; was
pronounced knocker and received
presents or hammers and other little
tokens of respect CD but the engi-
neers sustained his position.
Last week when the senior member
of the firm of Corey Bros, contract
ors who constructed most of the dam
at Mackay on his way to Thousand
Spring Valley to examine the site of
the proposed new reservoir, he met
Editor Dillingham;, who chatted with
him about the site and said, well,
! hope you will find it all right"
20, don't you be uneasy" retorted
Mr.. Corey, 1--WE shall not do any con-
struction work until you and Fowler
60 up and approve it,"

ANOTHER HOSPITAL STARTS

H. M. Colwell, the linotype opera
tor in the Republican office, mixed
with wild horse and lasso Satur-
day afternoon and got his knee
thrown out of joint. He has spent
the present week among bandages
and books and magazines in his room
at Hospital de Sagehurst.
Mrs. Byrd Trego has been confined
to her room part of the week with
a severe attack of neuralgia.
Nellie Trego had a tilt with a pet
deer last Sunday and has been carry
ing one hand in bandage as re-
suit. The animal was feeding on the
roses in the yard and she went out
to "shoo" it away, but she was wear
ing red dress and it refused to
"shoo" until they had played hide
and seek around telephone pole.

business men of Mountain Home, and
he supported O'Neil in the guberna-
torial race. The measure of his in
fiuence can be taken from the result
Of the primary there which is said to
show only twenty votes for O'Neil,
and about $50 for Brady, whom he
spent his time villifying. From this
it appears that he must have secured
the votes of only half of his partners
in the New Time, or il he carried any
of the votes of the public at large it
was fewer of his stockholders.
Politicians ought to take a tip from
this experience and get the i'll will Of
such fellows as Talbot early in the
race. As we remarked in the other
article which he says we did not send
him a copy of, Trux has way of
starting newspapers and going out of
business before the subscribers get
the benefit of their money paid for
the paper. And when he gets job
and starts in over again, it is only
short time until he is attempting to
start new paper in competition with
his employers. He works during the
day for the man who employs him,
and then goes out and spends half
the night "ribbing up" stock COM
pany to take his trade away from
him or so much of it as he can get.
Mountain Homers should not take
him seriously. He will not last long
at any one place, but every dollar
they put into such paper as Trux
publishes is just that much vitality
taken away from the other paper or
papers that deserve to succeed. The
public should learn that they will get
just the kind of type of newspapers
that they encourage and build up; If
they build up and fortify newspaper
in their community that is of disa-
greeable type, they have nobody to
blame but themselves If it stays and
makes itself felt, however disagree
ably it may fit their ideas.

"TOM" WRIGHT is DEAD.
(Contributed)


tom" Wright, was we'll known to
many of the young people. He, was
sunny in disposition, very clevery al
ways sought after by those who knew
him, a great favorite with the girls,
although few years older than some
of the young bellies, who would no
doubt like to get married. At least
Tom was twenty years old. All at
once Tom came up missing. Although
he had been sick and taken nothing
but water, which he drank from an
open Blackfoot ditch for three days,
nobody thought he was really dead,
but just taken trip to visit a seance
of the other Toms and Dexters. But
Mrs. Wright searched everywhere for
him, even as far away as some of her
neighbors' plantations. Suddenly she
imagined quaint and unpleasant
odor from under the floor. This lead
to diligent search by two of Black
foot's charmingest young men. with
railroad lanterns and candles and,
low and behold, scent aud vision"
brought Tom into view. He was
capped" with a garden rake snaked
out into the daylight, properly en-
balmed with, formaldehyde, and laid
to rest in grave in the city lot.
All the other Toms and Tables are
mewing his loss. May Tommy"
Wright rest in peace.

"CEYL0N PEARL FISHERIES. -
Topic of DR.. H. NJ. Smith Before
Geographic Society.

The concluding lecture for the season
of the National Geographic Society's
course. delivered last night in the New
Masonic Temple by DR.. Hugh NJ Smith,
deputy fish commissioner, was a consid-
GRAFTON of the pearl fisheries of Ceylon,
illustrated with stereopticon views.
The Ceylon pearl fisheries were de-
scrlbed as the oldest organized fishery In
existence. having fiourished five centuries
before the Christian era, uninterrupted to
the present time.
And with little difference in the mode
OF obtaining the pearl OYSTERS" said DR.
Smith THE diver uses thesame primi-
tive method of going to the bottom of
dividing the catch and Of disposing of his
| shares of pearls.
THE only great difference now is that
he can only go after the precious oyster
with the British governments permission
and not when poverty or. propitious
weather induced him to fish for them,
as formerly.
Manar, between Ceylon and the main
land, sandy ocean plateau dotted with
| Lodges of soft rock where the oysters
fasten themselves and feed by the mil
lions The actual fishing is allowed only
at stated periods, and under government
supervision.
AS many 200 native boats and from
900 to 1900 divers take part The divers
get as their share one-third of the catch
and the government two-thirds The
oysters are Sold at auction to the highest
bidder in lots of a thousand oysters
each.
The ceylon pearl oyster was described
as about four inches in diameter with a
shell SO soft it can be crushed between
the fingers
The diver works in the altogether" and
employs diving rope weighted with a
big stone to take him to the bottom. He
crawis along the ocean bottom and fills a
basket attached to his waist with all the
oysters he can reach The length of time
these divers remain under water ranges
from thirty-five to ninety seconds. The
Arab divers, the lecturer. said, are the
most expert. They remain on the bot
tom longer and perform their work more
thoroughly than the native Ceylonese and
others.
