LETTER FROM TO0sEBs co.

Dear Sir: Enclosed find few
OF those votes l handed ont, most OF
which ] hope have been Irned in in
favor Of T. E. Watson. l see here
in The .JaffeTsonian where you say
you Will accept the election of Sem
ator if the Legislature sees fit to
give it to you. 1t stirred me to the
brim, and | was after Cur Senator to
cast his vote for you. He said he
would be against Hoke if your ac-
cusations were not true. Smith was
not fit to represent the people for
not defending himself, and he would
vote for you g thousand times in
preference. | am always proud to
see you rise, and am always trying
to Go something in your behalf. Il
/ were in shape financially | would
meet you on the 9th, two days
after my SD birthday. | saw a lit
tie piece Of poetry from Stillmore,
on you, that did me good. l have
been intending congratulating the
writer for it, but have been putting
it off.
Little Tommie, named after you,
is as bright a little kid as l most
ever saw.
Well, we haven't sent in our petit
ton yet, but come down our way
some time in the near future. Good
luck to you. Keep tab on Hoke and
those enemies. Use your brain as
your weapon. You will come out

A PLEASANT PROPHECY.

Dear Sir and Friend: While read
ing over my paper, The Jeffersonian,
/ saw letter marked personal"
trying to defend a mans belief in
God through his creed, which is that
of the Latter Day Saints. In his re-
marks he begins by saying that the
only ones that are paying any atten-
ton to you are the ignorant class of
people, but I want to say right here
that Mr.. Personal is sadly mistaken.
1t is the best informed class of peo-
pie that are first to be convinced, and
that if he believes in pure and hon
est government for the people, and
by the people, and is regular
reader Of both the Jeffs. and will lay
aside all prejudice, it will not be long

Many persons did not take kindly
to the report published three weeks
ago that the Kuhn interests were 60
ing to get possession of everything in
the Boise valley. They thought this
was putting too much power in the
hands of one interest. The Mainland
interests now own the Boise Valley
while the Kuhns own the Boise & In
terurban. This division meets with
the approval of the people more gen.
orally than did the first arrangement
above referred to.
In any event the Boise Valley as
whole and the section Immediately
surrounding Caldwell is about to enter
upon an era of development such as
it has never experienced in the past
Caldwell is in the center and all cleo
trio and power lines must emanate
from this point.

Battleships Bigger Than Ever.

The new Japanese ministry will ask
the parliament for an appropriation of
about $l75,000000 for the construction
of new naval vessels. OF this great
sum about $l35,000OOo will be used to
build seven dreadnoughts and two ar
mored cruisers of $4,000 tons each.
The program is to be complete in
seven years. These 30000-ton war
ships will be considerably larger than
any now in existence, the largest ex-
tant being the two of 500 tons each
recently delivered in Argentina. Our
biggest vessels now building are about
10000 tons Japan's course would
seem to indicate that the day of the
dreadnough is just beginning, instead
OF being over, as the naval experts
have been asserting.-Chicago Inter

more profitable and diversified. The
county fairs are great educational in
situations. All who have attended the
canyon county fair regularly have re-
marked the great Improvement in live
stock that has come about during the
past SIX or seven years. The fair is
not entirely responsible but it has ex-
erted a great influence. 1t is the same
throughout the state generally. Bear
Lake county will have the same ex-
perience as Canyon has had. The
county fair idea should be encouraged
by the people of every community.

Another move in the concentration
and consolidation of the power and
electric railway interests of the Boise
valley, was made Saturday last when
the Idaho-Oregon Light & Power Co.
purchased the Boise Valley electric
railway. The purchase price was
s85OOOO. The majority of the stock
was owned by Mr.. Robert Noble. The
new owners propose making extensive
Improvements and extensions. One Of
the more important extensions con-
templated is the building of the line to
Caldwell from Nampa From this
point an electric line will be built to
Payette and Weiser. The Idaho Ore
gon company is one of the largest and
most enterprising power companies in
the west. William Mainland, one of
the heaviest stockholders, has confirm
ed the report of the purchase of the
Boise Valley line; and has also con-
hrmed the report of contemplated i'm
provements and extensions. He has
had agents in Caldwell this week for
the purpose of securing terminal ia
cilities in this city. In another column
of this issue of The Tribune will be
found greater detail of the transac-
ton and the plans in view.

be used IN the construction OF at leas
half Of the spur, it is claimed.
In the not distant future, the South
Boise line will be extended to Mora
and thence along the Oregon Short
Line to kuna, and, probably, eventu
ally, west on to Nampa, thus com
lpleting the triangle of railway owned
and operated by the Idaho-O Oregon
company, it is said.
These lines of railway would not
only open up a fertile and valuable
country, but will increase the values
OF acre lands within and near the
triangle, and enhance even land values
in Boise.
OF the Main street line and the
hint that it will soon be transferred
to either the Kuhn interests or the
opposing company, nothing can be
learned. Vice President l. w. Ander-
son is expected daily. 1t has been
declared that William Alley has had
an option on the road for some weeks
and that he and his partner, L. o.
Leonard, were ready to sell, either
to one or the other of the factors in
the electric power struggle, holding
out for the highest price obtainable.
1t has not yet been learned, either,
just who contributed the moneys for
the purchase of the valley road, or
how much is held in reserve for other
operations of the sort. The capital is
supplied from the east-from New
York, and as many as two or three
of the biggest manipulators of money
on Wall street are said to be involved.
But the exact identity Of those behind
the veil cannot be learned, for special
pains seem to have been taken that
the public shall not know.
Going Up Long Valley.
But these are not the only deals in
big finance made within the last few
days. The formation and incorpora-
ton of the Long Valley Light & Pow
er company, with capital of 100000
announced yesterday, is another fact
that indicates the interest of powerful
hnanciers in the natural resources OF
the state. This company will operate
on the north fork of the Payette river
The power dam, which, when complet-
ed, will generate almost $4,000 horse,
power, will be located at Van Wyck
falls, situated near Crawford, 90 miles
north of Boise.

During the Methodist conference
IN Caldwell last June plans were dis
cussed and formulated for a great
church university in Idaho. At that
time it was claimed that the institu-
ton would be located in Boise. Since
then other towns have become inter-
ested and keen competition for the
school is in evidence Caldwell, Pay
cite, Emmett, Pocatello, Idaho Falls
and Blackfoot Methodists have been
urging the advantages of their respect
i've localities before the commission
having the location Of the university
in charge. Emmett, through Mr.. Fin
ley Munroe, secretary of the Com
mercial club, informs the commission
that she has good proposition to sub
nit. Action will be taken early in the
year 1912. The claims, advantages
and propositions of the different towns
will be thoroughly investigated.

Idaho towns on the whole are proud
of their public schools-the system
and the buildings. They do not hest
tate at voting bonds for school houses
and in most instances keep fully
abreast of the needs of the town. This
pride and interest in the schools by
the people of Idaho are a credit to
them. Monday of last week Twin Falls
voted bonds in the sum of $4,000 for
the purpose of charging the high
school building. Twin Falls last week
also dedicated the $150OOO court house
just completed. Wednesday of last
week Emmett defeated $4,000 bond
issue for school purposes, but has de-
cided to hold another election. The
second election will be held Tuesday,
October 81. AT Emmett the district
has warrant indebtedness and the
bonds are to be issued in order to take
up the warrants.

The public school teachers of the
southeastern part of the state have
been in convention at Pocatello this
week. The counties of Bannock, Bing-
ham, Bonneville, Fremont, Bear Lake,
Cassia, Oneida, Lincoln, Lemhi, Gus

at the assembly. Fully 1000 teachers
were present The purpose of the
convention is to discuss new methods

advanced ideas in the profession. Ca
pable instructors were present. II is
thought that great good will be the
direct result of the meeting.
The old pioneers are rapidly passing

months Mr.. Tovey was 70 years OF
age. He located at Malad in 1867,
coming there from Utah, He was
born at Llyn Ddee, South Wales, in
1888, coming to America at the age
of q. He lived at Johnstown, Pa, two
years. Mr., Tovey was prominent

Payette is having an experience sim
liar to one Caldwell almost had sew
eral years ago. According to the In
dependent Mr.. N. A. Jacobsen of that
city donated ten acres to the city Of
Payette provided that the city would
convert it into a park. 1t is now
claimed that the city has failed to car
ry out its part of the contract and
Mr. Jacobsen has concluded that Pay
cite does not want a city park; and
proposes to relieve the city of its land
The same thing happened in Caldwell.
Mr. Howard Sebree gave Caldwell 20
acres of land to be used for a city
park. The land was accepted by the
city council. Afterward it was con-
cluded by the same council that Cald-
well did not want the park; and it
was proposed that the tract be return
ed to Mr.. Sebree. A number of citi-
zens interfered claiming that the land
had been accepted by the city, belong
ed to the city, and that the city coun-
Gil had no authority to thus dispose
Of municipality owned real estate. The
contention of the citizens stood and
Caldwell still owns the tract of land.
1t will probably develop that the ia
cobsen land at Payette is in the same
position, Payette should certainly
keep the land. If Mr.. Jacobsen is the
man we think he is and his action in
donating the land would indicate that
he is, he will not require Payette to
undertake onerous or burdensome i'm
provements on the land. In all likeli-
hood all that he requires is that the
municipality show good faith and de-
sire for the park.
