retail activity, coupled with the unuS-
ually warm weather and the end OF
the year accounting, operates to make
wholesale operations slower, but there
has been no real check to the expan-
sion in business. The improvement
in iron and steel grows steadily and
is accompanied with advances in
prices. The outlook for the new year
is exceedingly promising. In the dry
goods trade the most notable devel-
opment is the betterment in woolens
and worsteds. Silks are also stronger.
Leather is dull, but prices firm. Hides
are weak. Copper stocks decline and

Does Not Commit Himself, But Real
ICES Importance of Matter.
E. H. Dewey of Nampa, who has
been favorably mentioned for Repub-
lican nominee for governor of Idaho,
has this to say on the subject:
"No man, born and raised in Idaho
as l was, and whose every interest
and pride is in the growth and prog
ress of the state as mine is, would be
good citizen of the state if he was
not fully sensible of the honor such a
request confers. At the same time, if
should be candidate, SHOULD hope
to be nominated and elected, and be-
lieving that the people of Idaho have
the right to expect and demand the
best service that any man can give, l
see before me, in such an event, the
necessity of giving my whole time and
best efforts to the service of the state.
To do this would require a consid-
cradle sacrifice in business way, and
is a matter that requires more than a
casual consideration"

LECTURE COURSE OPENS


ed the season Tuesday evening in the
Methodist church when the popular
quartet, "The Strollers," headed by
the inimitable Longstreet, filled an
evening with music, mirth and solid
enjoyment.
The Strollers quartet consists of
Messrs. H. T. Longstreet and D. F.
Whitehead, bassos, and A. c. Hum
field and H. P. Thomas, tenors; and
they give evidence of careful training.
The program opened with the quar-
tet "On the Sea-" one of Dudley
Bucks masterpieces, and it was per-
haps in this number that the company
did its best work, barring the comedy
songs.
They responded with the we'll
known Poor Little Lamb" and start
ed the audience on laugh that car
ried nearly through the program.
During this number the quartet intro
duced some excellent comedy work
and speculations were rife among the
audience as to which members of the
comedy were benedicts, judging from
the manner in which they held imagi-
nary pickaninnies.
A second encore, "Herpicide," was
short and snappy laugh-provoker.
Mr.. Longstreet then gave reading
entitled when the Preacher Happens
In" and followed with a musical
reading, Don't Be What You 'Aaint,
winning the hearts of his audience by
his exceptionally pleasing personality
and versatile Interpretation.
Mr.. Humfeld, the first tenor, then
sang three numbers, "The Last Rose
of Summer" proving to be the most
pleasing.
The program being divided into
three parts, the second was now usher
ed in, with the quartet clothed in full
Scotch regalia-at least we suppose
so. Mr.. Longstreet sang 81 Love &
Lassie" in true Harry Lauder style
and with the help of the rest ended
the chorus with zest which PROVED
Irresistible. Mr.. Whitehead's mo-
tons of endearment were so vigor.
ously entered into as to cause thC
feminine half of the audience to si
up and take notice.
After a violin solo by Mr.. Thoma:
the quartet proved their versatility By
singing Little Orphan Annie" anc
giving it added delights but theiI
piece de resistance" was as 1t Ho
Enough For Your" to which no word:
of a humble, Woodworking reporter
could do justice. You've simply go
to see Longstreet to understand why
all were so delighted. His "Wioot {
Wife," and The Good Old Fashion
ed Way" were gems. 1t isn't that thS
other members of the company were
not good-they were hne-but there
was a distinctive charm about Long
streets work that precluded any pos
sbility of anyone else attracting much
attention.
The third part of the program pre-
scented four sailor lads, true sons OF
the briny deep.
A violin solo and songs led up to
Yarns" in which the company eclips-
ed all previous efforts in provoking
smiles, and the program ended with
Herbert Johnson's arrangement OF
"Nearer My God to Thee"
Reno, the Magician" at the Opera
House next Wednesday evening, Jan
3, is the next number. On account oil
the great popularity and Reno and the
fact that he is known to be one of the
most popular attractions showing or
this circuit, as well as the fact that
there was a slight conflict in date:
for the church, led the management
to stage this number at the Opera
house.

Fisher Denounced by Borah.

According to a Washington dis
patch Senator w. E. Borah has
written a vigorous letter to Secretary
of the Interior Fisher denouncing his
changed attitude and his present in
clination to favor the release of home
steaders from actual residence during
first two years, and then requiring &C
tual residence the next three years, as
against shortening the period definite
ly to three years. Five years without
title makes it impossible for men to
secure homes, Borah declares.

Doing Your Own paperina.

In preparing the paper for hanging
first trim off all white edges which
might show afterward Then spread
the paste on the paper, very evenly, to
obviate the danger of irregular drying
md later spotty effects. Regulate the
temperature of the room so that the
paper will dry within one hour after
hanging.
The following method OF estimating
the number of rolls of paper may be of
help. This estimate holds good for
rooms Of from seven to nine feet in
height. Measure the number OF yards
around the room, and multiply this by
.wo, The resultant figure represents
the number OF full-length strips. For
each ordinary sized window and door
allow two strips each. Subtract this

JOHN E. CRAIG, SPEAKER
II You Attend You Will Not Need to
Don Summer Linens Nor Bring
Palm Leaf
Fans.

Beautiful Rand park, with it's cool
summer breezes and spreading shade
trees, will be the scene Of the first
open air meeting to be conducted by
the Young Mems Christian Association
Sunday afternoon. Those who attend
need not don their summer linen nor
bring palm leaf fans, but simply come
prepared to spend a pleasant after
noon in service and hear a strong
local speaker.
The idea of having Sunday omen
air meeting of this kind was trans
ported from the east by Secretary
Henry F. Burns and was presented, to
a meeting of the chairmen of sub
committees of the religious work de-
partment this week. The religious
work chairmen like the plan and will
give it trial. If successful the meet
ings will be held every Sunday after
noon and may also be held in various
parts OF the city during the week as
sort of an extension work.
Tentative plans for the first Sunday
meetlng nave been outlined. There
will be special music under the direc.
ton of Prof. P. G. Hayden, a chorus
of mixed singers and an orchestra OF
twelve pieces furnishing it, The
speaker Of the afternoon will be Hon
John E. Craig. His subject has not
yet been announced
Arrangements are being made for
seats and there will be plenty of them
to accommodate a large audience. The
place of meeting will be around the
speakers pavilion.
On next Monday evening the relig
ious work committee of which H. C.
Brown is chairman, will meet for the
purpose Of passing upon the success OF
the first meeting and planning for the
future.
