If You have seen the admirable

spirit Of the dead Dutch patriarch
struggles in vain TO make himself
heard by mortals that he may set

humor in the spectacle of Peter
Grimm failing to get the shghtest
attention from actors carrying on

melody of the entertainment ring

pressed upon nv recollection,
cannot bring myself to speak OF

Passing over the fact that |

like presidential salute or

There is nothing piecemeal about
the Winter Garden. And yet the
first thing that strikes the pro

Passing Show OF 1872 is the
extraordinary smoothness with
which the first performance went
of: and the second is. the small
minority Of scenes aud songs that

The whole show went with the
rip-bang and precision Of

when one pauses to consider that
fifty catalogucd performers and
nearly twice as many more chorus
folk dash at a breakneck speed
through ten scenes, singing about

LATE CONVENTION NOTES

The Republican National Convention
was called to order Tuesday and the
battle between the TAFT and Roosevelt
forces was at once opened.
Through the courtesy OF the Mountain
States Telephone Co. our citizens have
been kept appraised oi the d"ines ol the
convention by the issuing oi occasional
bulletins which have been displayed in
front OF the Jerome Drug Go.
The TAFT supporters were victorious in
the selection of Elihr Root ni New York
temporary chairman by Il vote nf jjS a.
against JO2 for Mc(iovern, Oi Wisconsin,
who was backed by the Roosevelt forces.
This and the delivery OF the temporary
charman's address WAS about all that
was accomplished at the first session.
The Idaho delegation voted solidly
in the Roosevelt column.
In the Idaho caucus John W. Hart, OF
Menan, defeated TX -Gnv Brady Tor Ma.
tional Committeeman
Yesterday was almost wholly taken M
in discussing the report oi the Nationa
! Committee, the majority report ol which
was in favor OF seating the contcste,

scented against seating any delegate whos'
seat was contested. There are ~ nf thes,
in all, about 81 OF which are TAFT sup
porters Cpon call OF the roll the mi
nority report was adopted 10y a vote o
.j64 to 30.
Ii this vote is correctly reported

troll OF the convention.
A later bulletin, however. changed tn
word minority to majority.

ENCOURAGING Outlook.

There il no occasion Tor anything but
an optimistic view OF conditions on the
North Side tract this season. The farm
ers are now in the midst OF their first
cutting OF alfalfa, and the yield is all
that was anticipated There is consider
able local demand ior the new crop, as
about all OF last years crop was shipped
out this spring, and there is a prospect
OF there being an outside demand Tor our
hay little later on. At present there is
no stated market price Int We are all
vised that sales have been made at -. u
to $500 per ton, loose.
The yield OF strawberries in this sec
ton will exceed that Oi last year. owing
to the larger area planted, and the in
creased age oi the vines, and the grower
thus lar have experienced no difficulty in
disposing OF the crop at an average 81
about 81 80 per crate.
There are several who will be prepared
later TO furnish raspberries, blackberric'
and other small fruits, all OF which help
10 swell the income OF the rancher.
The young orchards put out two an'
three years ago are showing evidence o
bearing some fruit this season, and tn
panorama now presented by drive owe
the tract is certainly inspiring and calci
lated TO insure still further confidence il
the North Side Tract as a fruit prOducin
section.
The acres upon acres OF potatoes nov
visible over the tract is sufficient assiI
ance that barring no misfortune, ther
will be an enormous crop OF spuds raise
here this year, and while the price ma
not reach that OF last season, the reputs
ton already attained for Idaho spud
will warrant a demand for all the surplt
We have.
The outlook therefore for the Mort
Side farmer is very encouraging Tor II
present season, and il is Ia he hope
that nothing will interfere in making tn
the banner year on the tract.
