Development League it was decided to
place light at the crossing between
the store of the Connaway Mercantile
Co. and the Odd Fellows Hall. Steps

board side walk extending from G. W.
Latferty's northeast corner east thence
south to the crossing of the Mt. Hood
X. r., thus accommodating a large
number of persons, both grownups and
school children. The walk is to be two
feet in width with the exception of
that part extending from the school
house east and around the corner to
Odell Creek, which will be six feet
wide.
This is an enterprise that should re-
ceive every encouragement and when
the petition comes to you be assured
any help you may give will be that
much toward a worthy undertaking.

THIRTY" WITH FARMERS
INSTITUTES

Blackfoot has reached thirty" in
farmers Institutes this year, and If
the men who conduct the lectures
showed no more interest than the
community which they seek to bene-
fit, there would not be any. more
work in this line in the present gen.
Grafton. for the sessions planned for
Blackfoot last week, only one was
we'll attended, and even then not
more than perhaps i've per cent. Of
the farmers of the surrounding coun-
try were present. Many came to
town and loafed about the streets
during the lectures and many others
were busy and did not try to make
their plans conform to the dates Of
the lecturers.
We have no quarrel with people
If they do not attend such meetings;
we are simply stating what happens.
And from this it is safe to conclude
that those who have been trying to
raise the standard Of agriculture and
stockraising here by arranging insti-
tutes might as well cease their eff
forts unless they can interest the boys
and girls and the young men and
young women.
Prof. Elliot expressed it correctly
on Friday evening when he said. ut
Is not much use to talk to you mid
dle-aged men and women. You are
so set in your ways that you are
going to keep on just about as you
have been doing no matter what
we try to teach you or how well we
teach 1t. The hope of the state lies
in the young people who are willing
and anxious to follow better, easier
and more profitable methods than
you are doing"

QUEER CLOSING ANNOUNCEMENT

Quite a number Of newspapers have
failed or gone out Of business in
idaho the past year, and each man
has his own way Of shutting up"
The editor of The Sites Sentinel
grew weary Of conducting his paper
On such near-patronage as the COM
munity was giving him, so one even
ing at quitting time he locked the
door and in large figures he wrote
'30" on the Office door. The next
lay he took the stage, and started
another paper $50 miles away, MAX
ng no explanation to the Sites peo-
Die other than the5"30" on the door.
In printing Offices thirty means
he last news item that will be
received for the present issue. 1t
originated in Horace Greeley's Office
turing the Civil War when they we're
printing thirty columns each issue,
md when dispatches were being re-
eived and thirty columns were com
pleted. thirty" was called and dis
fatches stopped.

GOVERNOR HAWLEY AND TIKI
PICTURES

Governor is under fire for the re-
moval of certain pictures from the
executive rooms at the state house.
OF course it is matter of little
Importance, yet this matter, like mat
rimony and religion, may be made
the object of intense feeling il it
blows the wrong way.
The Governor instructed State
Treasurer Allen, the custodian of the
state house, to remove the pictures
of President Taft and vice-president
Sherman from the executive Office
Mr.. Allen, it seems, delayed the mat
ter, and last Monday the Governor
sent word to him that If they were
not removed at once that he would
make other disposition of them. Mr..
Allen made some sort of protest
against their removal, but the Gov
ernor stood firm. 1t created quite
furry in the circles of gossip, and
when a representative of the press
called to ask Governor Hawley why
this order was made he replied that
it was a personal matter with him
and that If the people wanted to
know all about it he would prepare
a statement Of the case, which he
afterwards did, the substance of it
being that the pictures were cheap
campaign Autographs, and that he
had ordered engravings of Taft,
Cleveland, Lincoln and Jefferson to
be put up in their places, and that
when they arrived he would have
them framed at his own expense and
placed upon the walls of his office.
Just why he wanted the old ones
removed before the arrival of the
new ones did not appear in the state
ment, but it Is Mr.. Hawley's Office,
and If he wants to store all the
furniture and put in things of his
own, he has our permission.

COWBOY-ORATOR-EDITOR
PROMOTER

A. E. Haines established a news
paper at McCammon four years ago,
bringing to the business as qualifica-
tions, some cowboy training, tend
ency to oratory, disposition to crit
icise sharply, and some ability as a
booster and promoter, besides some
knowledge of the printing trade.
During the four years he has edited
"The Banner" he has worked hard
and exercised all the qualifications
enumerated above, and now he closes
the newspaper office, publishing the
rather scathing announcement which
we copy here, with all the misfit
verbs and double nominatives and
queer inflnitives, and we leave 1t to
the reader to judge whether such
editorial work as is shown in the
article could be dealt out to COM
munity every week in the year with
out producing the very discomfort,
irritation and nagging he speaks of
and to which he attributes the failure
OF his paper.
with this issue of the Banner, the
writer is very sorry to state to its
friends that it is the last number to
be published by the present owner
in McCammon.
ITO make this announcement, it
is hard to do, but not through COM
pulsion have we decided to quit the
town so far as the newspaper bus
mess Is concerned, 1t is through the
awful contentious that have arose
during the past two years, relative
to civic improvement and the tend
ency to throttle the growth of our
beautiful little village and to control
the vital potent parts that goes to
make up hustling berg.
McCammon has every advantage in
the world for a good sized town. but
1t will never be much more than it
is, IL those who are largely interested
in its welfare do not quit trying to
make a good dog" of those who
are opposed to seeing everything 60
ing into one channel. 1t was our
fond hopes to leave the town paper
but one of the boosters 90 said
there was nothing in the shop that
would Justify the price we asked,
consequently the prospective victim
went on.
Our interests are here and we ex-
pect to retain them for there are
great possibilities In store for this
immediate section, and we will be
back in another line of business and
do everything possible to advance the
development of the latent resources
of the place of our choice. We can
point to many things that this paper
has helped to do, and personally we
are claiming no credit, but we do
claim that we have been a loyal
citizen to McCammon and not a
knocker as some of our good booster
friends (?) have stated.
1--WE can only attribute the reasons
that our town has not went ahead
as 1t should. Is due to the continual
nagging, pickering, selfish and nom
fellowship, which exists within her
boundary. A town does not want
to run people out. people and loyal
citizenship is what every place wants,
ond the sooner that McCammon folks
realize there are others. the quicker
McCammon will not become reli-
quarry. To those who have given
their support to Banner. and espec-
tally to the farmers Of this immediate
vicinity, We extend our sincere thanks
and In the meantime goodbye. so far
Ias the newspaper business is con-
|cerned."
