. The prospects are favorable for
a good school this year. The
building has been put in the best
possible condition, and under the
watch care of trained teachers
the physicialand intellectual con
dition of the pupils should be
Carefully guarded.
Parents will find it money III
their pockets to have their child
rem examined by a doctor before
entering into school work so that
they can be looked after more
carefully when weakness may be
discovered and Parents and Tea

such ailment and thereby guard

Judge Walters talked of
for Supreme Bench.

A number of newspapers are
commenting npon the probabil-
ity of Judge Walters becoming a
candidate for the Supreme bench
OF Idaho at the 1912 Election.
In every instance his name has
',een we'll received as the man for
she place.
Those acquainted with Mr..
Wa tiers cannot only endorse such
a move butcan honestly and con-
scientiously push him into the
lead. The people of this district
would sustain a loss in being
without his excellent services and
ability in matters with which he
has been connected and served so
well in this section but nc one
would feel to check h1m his step
of progress and advancement,
realizing that he may do more
people much good by such prom
otion.
Should the Judge consent to
accept the position his many
friends will do the rest.

RECIPROCITY HAS
FRONT RANK NOW
UNLESS CONGRESS PASSES THE
MEASURE TAFT WILL CALL
SPECIAL SESSION.

Washington, Feb. S.-John Norris,
chairman of the paper committee OF
the American Newspaper Publishers
association, will appear Thursday be-
fore the ways and means committee
Of the house of representatives, with
facts and figures in support of the
enactment without the change of a
syllable, of the wood pulp and paper
provisions of the Canadian recipro
city agreement.
Mr. Norris said emphatically there
was no truth in the published stories
that these provisions admitted of
doubtful Interpretation. He said the
agreement verbatim, as it stands,
would be ratified by the house by at
least two-thirds majority.
the committee would show the recip-
rocal benefits of the paper clause,
and insisted he would "confound the
paper-makers who are trying to nulli-
fy the treaty by amendments to the
paper clause"
He would show, he said, that that
clause furnishes the only method
by which free pulp wood can be sup
piled to American paper mills and by
which the industry can be protected
from diversion to Canada
The degree to which the admins.
tration will use in behalf of amend
ment of the treaty, its utmost efforts
to bring about such changes by con
current legislation" as promised in
the agreement, was made plain In re
ports brought from the white house
BY senators who talked with the pres
ident.
These reports left little room for
doubt that should congress adjourn
without having ratified the agreement
the president will forthwith convene
the new congress in extraordinary ses
sion to consider the matter afresh.
The reciprocity matter has moved
into the foremost place in the execu
tive view and every disposition will
be made to keep it there if he can
1t is said upon excellent authority
that Mr.. Taft believes the present
congress will act favorably in botl
houses upon the agreement and thai
there will be no necessity for an ex
ira session. Every indication now
forecasts Its adoption by the house
by an overwhelming majority.
The only doubt appears to be as tc
whether those senators radically op
posed to its enactment. will be able
by obstructive tactics to prevent its
adoption by the senate. The presl
dent apparently entertains no such
doubt.

Merry Yule Party
for Tresher Babes

score Of scampering squirrels were
Joyous guests at a Christmas party given
yesterday on the snow-clad lawn of the
George Tresher home, $40 Lincoln boule-
ward. Every member OF the little busy
tailed arboreal colony was out early In
the day to feast upon the choice nuts
provided by the host and hostesses. Every
one remained until he was lust as
full as could be, and with appetites ap-
peased all fell to the pastime OF storing
the choice delcacies.
They are the dearest little thines, 4"
declares Mrs. Tresher. 1--WE call them our
little babies, and whenevr we address
them as such they will scamper across
the lawn to the porch and right into the
open door to accept the choice morsels
held out for them"
The little squirrels spend their winters
in cozy homes built in about a dozen of
the many big oak trees on the Tresher
lawn, and during some seasons their
stores would not be so bounteous were II
not for Mr.. and Mrs. Tresher. Last fall
they gathered nine bushels of acorns to
be fed to the little fellows when the
snow is on the ground, and these are
portioned out as they are needed. Christ
mas was a joyous day for the little
babies on the Tresher lawn.
