expended for the entertainment of visit
ing delegates If the convention went to
| their town.

the. big boost for Idaho Falls. A. G.
Miller. representing Boise. put up a good
| that there was no chance for getting the
plum for Boise ne withdrew, and the Sc
lection of Idaho Falls was made unani-
| EouS.

| taken. with the understanding that the
