turned home on Monday night and
Tuesday, carrying trout, flowers,
ferns, roots, bulbs, pine gum, wet
kakhi suits and waders, and various
other souvenirs of their trip to the
head of "Henry's Fork"
The resolutions committee reported
during the afternoon, and the resolu-
tons, as revised and amended, are
as follows:
Whereas: The printing business
CONSTITUTES the seventh investment of
any of the manufacturing industries,
and with its complex problems has
developed so rapidly and to such pro-
portions that much business is done
on schedules established by custom
and guesswork, and not upon the cost
of production; and
Whereas: There is now in progress
a great nationwide movement look
ing to the establishment of more
uniform system of computing cost Of
production of the distribution of oper-
ating expenses to the proper depart
ments and to the particular things
and products entering into the prob
lem of producing them; and
Whereas: A study of this question
reveals lax conditions that account
for great many of the vast number
of business failures in the printing
trade; and
Whereas. The leaders of thought
in this matter have organized what is
known as 1.-THE Cost Congress" to
promote the study and systematizing
of the business end of the printing
trade; therefore, be it
Resolved: That we recommend that
every publisher, every foreman and
every employee in the printing BUSH
ness keep in close touch with the
work of the cost congress by reading
the detailed reports of the meetings
such as are published in the Pacific
Printer of San Francisco, beginning
with the March,, 1911, number; be it

Resolved: That we favor the inG
stallations in every printing office of
"a cost system for correction of lax
business methods, such system to con-,
sist of an estimate blank form to be
filled out when the estimate of job
| is made, and another form on which
to record the work as it is actually
done, together with specifications OF
the job, such as is generally called
1.-THE job envelope" and be it
Resolved: Governor J. H. Hawley
and the State Board of Health united
in reappointing James H. Wallis pure
flood commissioner for Idaho regard
less of partisan politics and without
any solicitation on the part of Mr..
Wallis, and as Mr.. Wallis has proved
the most acute and efficient pure food
commissioner that Idaho has ever
lhad, and is so attracting more than
statewide attention by his work,
which is a credit the state, and as
surance to travellers and homeseekers
that they get the best there is in the
Gem State, that we heartily commend
Governor Hawley and the State Board
| of j. Health for their unbiased action
in this matter; be it further
Resolved: That we thank the Off
Gals of the Oregon Short Line rail-
road for courtesies and favors extend
ed the Press club during this and
other meetings; further
Resolved: That the Eastern Idaho
Press club requests the Intermountain
Good Roads convention, and all the
good roads organizations in the states
of Missouri, Nebraska, Wyoming, Ida
no, Oregon, Washington, Kansas,
Colorado and Utah, to petition the
congress of the United States and the
legislatures of the States concerned
to make adequate appropriations to
boulevard the old Oregon trail from
St. Joseph, Mo-, to Puget Sound, and
to complete the work prior to the
opening of the Panama canal; be it
further
Resolved: That we congratulate
the city of Idaho Falls on the splendid
growth of the past five years since
the club was organized here, and
more especially in the one hundred
years since the visit Of the first white
men-the Astor Overland party-in
1911; further
Resolved: That we thank the citi-
zens of the chief city of the new
county of Bonneville for the hospital
ity shown the Press club on this occa-
sion, and we wish the fame of Sunny
