HIGHEST POINT
G Government Says Idaho's Top
Elevation is 5795 Feet

The question as to the highest point
in Idaho has been officially settled. 1t
is a peak of Saw Tooth Mountains
north of Gooding, on the divide be-
tween Big Wood and Salmon Rivers.
The heighth is 8, 1916 feet.
These facts are given in a bulletin
just issued.
The United States Geological Survey
is publishing a series of bulletins on
attitudes which when complete for the
United States will constitute a
dictionary of attitudes for all the
principal cities, towns, mountains and
other prominent points. The elevat-
ions as determined by the survey are
figured by the thousandth of a foot and
of course are of great use to local sur
veyors or engineers Throughout the
country.
In connection with its topographic
mapping the survey establishes several
thousand permanent bronz or aluminium
bench marks every year, and the bulle-
tins of this service give the exact
attitudes of these points. A recent is
sue is Bulletin 497, Results of Spirit
Leveling in Idaho" under the di-
rection of R. B. Marshall, chief
~geographer. The lowest altitude noted
in this bulletin is at Boomers Ferry,
which is given at 1,766. 663 feet above
sea level. The highest point in Idaho
thus far marked by the survey is at
the crest of the Saw Tooth Mountains,
the boundary line between Blaine
and Custer counties. The description
given in the bulletin of the surveys
bench mark at this point is an example
Of the method of description of other

or the like. Against a plain wall pa.

WOULDN'T DO 1T
Soldier People Not Ready to Lose
Town and Name

Last Monday evening the promoters
of the New Soldier townsite called a
meeting for the purpose of determining
from the citizens if it was their wish
to move the present ~postofice of
Soldier to New Soldier and be served
with a rural free delivery, or retain
the present office. The Soldier public
schools being closed on account of
diptheria, DR.. A. A. Riggs called the
meeting off.
What the outcome of the meeting
would have been is easily determined
by a talk with the business men of
Soldier. 1t would seem that this move
on the part of the townsite company
was the last straw, and the patience
of the citizens of the Old Town is ex-
hausted. 1t might seem that the ex-
periences of the past summer have
demonstrated that very little good can
be accomplished by %pulldozing methods,
and the best thing for the townsite
promoters to find out is that a little
respect for the feelings of others will
accomplish more toward h~armonizing
the warning factions than the tactics
adopted from the start.
The merchants of Soldier will remain
where they are for the winter, and
if conditions do not change.
In the meantime, we wonder why
the promoters themselves are not o
ing to the new town. -Camas Prairie

The good ship Wilhelmina
Sailed out the Golden Gate;
On board baud of Shriners
And the Imperial Potentate,
Our course lay west from Frisco,
Chasing the setting-sun,-
Each face aglow with pleasure,
Each Shriner out for fun.

Ruled with a steady hand.
How'd do, George Filmer,
The second in command.
All good things he had furnished,
From weather to champagne,
And milth and joy ran riot
AS we sailed the raging main.
Many and fair were the ladies',
Kind and jolly the men,
The like has never before happened
And never can happen again.
Six days we rode the billows
OF the broad Pacific ocean,
Forgetting naught of duty,
Not even our Sundays devotion.
To hear Bill Brown sing Boylston
Was good for gods and men,
No one believed he could do it, I
But he showed them there and
then.
It's true we were short on praying,
At which King Potentate SHE'D
And there wasn't any other Shriner
Sufficiently sanctified.
But of all the wonderful doings
Upon this remarkable trip
You must learn from our historian :.
And hear from another mans lips.
To our Brother, Captain Johnson,
And his brave and faithful crew,
We wish long life and happiness
AS they sail the ocean through.

long and was sincere, but there was
no encore. Sam Foster had delivered

Whose Advice9

Two years ago when the Water
board was urging $6,500,O0O water
bond issue to get Immediate" posses
sion Of the waterworks. a large num-
Der of substantial business men and
heavy property owners attached their
names to a remonstrance against vot-
ing the bonds at that time, in which
they said:
Having the best interests of the city at
heart, we would advise all voters to vote
against the s6,500,O00 water bonds, as we
do not think they should be voted before
the case is finally adjudicated in the SUI
preme court OF the United States. The
voting of the bonds now would look like
surrender and might have a serious in
fluence against the eity's case.
Folks who can remember back that
far will recall how the Water boarders
and their mouth-piece lampooned and
denounced these business men as OBJ
structionists or tools of the water COM
pany or as men whose advice had a
selfish interest and therefore should
not be followed. Whose advice was
good two years ago?

monstrous thing to deprive young children
of a comforting belief in the devil. How
ever, as the assembly has left it to Dr.
