MAJOR REED HAS
BEEN RENDERED
PLACE BY HA|NES
Understood That Booster
King" Will Accept Place
of immigration Commits
sion From Governor elect.

Major Fred r. Reed Of Miner will
probably be Idaho's next immigration
commissioner, providing the next leg
islature does not abolish the office. 1t
IS claimed that Major Reed has been
offered the appointment and he has
consented to take it. As publicity
man he has a wider acquaintance than
any other person In the state, due to
his connection with the reclamation of
southern Idaho arid lands. He has
been associated with the Kuhns and
their interests in the development of
large irrigation projects.
There may be found a peculiar sit
uation in connection with the immi-
grafton commissioners department II
the expressions of members of
the next legislature are a guide, for
many Of them advise its adjustment or
the taking away OF its biennial ap-
preparation. If steps along that line
are taken and Major Reed or anyone
else is appointed by Governor ELECT
lIaines, they may find they are holding
sack. Although there Is talk of
doing things to the immigration COM
missioner's department, other members
of the legislature declare that 1t will
go no farther and that the department
will not only be maintained in the flu
ture as it has in the past but will also
be given an appropriation.
Fire has been conferred on the immi-
grafton commissioners department, due
to the alleged failure of the state to
be represented at various land shows
in different parts of the country, with
exhibits. The present incumbent, Sam
]. Rich, has received the greater part
OF this criticism.

when Are You Going to
Quit Marrying Them Off? :

That was the question asked the
Contest Editor by one of our many fair
contestants the other day. And do
you know, the lady is a happy, con-
tented married woman herself, and
does not seem to have q care in the
world these days except possibly the
solution OF the Capital News Book
lovers pictures. And from the way
she carries the Catalogue with her
wherever she goes We have an idea It
IL her one hobby. And she says she
finds 1t worth while even II she only
gets box of candy
And 1t ID the workers who consult
the Official Catalogue and exercise
their right to extra answers who are
going to carry off the prizes In our
delightful contest. And the others who
think they are wise enough to take
homo q prize without the aid Of the
Catalogue will find themselves a. far
behind IN this interesting race that
they will be willing to pay $500 for q
Catalogue in the next Booklovers'
Contest they enter.
And we will not feel a little bit sor-
|ry for them, either. For we have been
preaching the gospel Of that Catalogue
to them ever since the first prize pic
ture was published.
And we have told them stories Of
our own and of the working contes-
|tants on the ACCESSIBILITY of exercising
their right to extra answers, until II
seems there is little else to say on
those two important subjects.
And now. we are offering all Of those
who have not secured Catalogue one
free with an order for ten pictures
and so cents. And we are also offer
ing complete sets of rs pictures AT
$500, any numbers, and as many OF
any number as you like, counting II
to a set, with 10 extra to those who
have purchased our Catalogue. And
they will need extra answers II they
hope to get in the gold pile. or take
home that piano, the diamond ring OF
the Victor Victrola at Simpsons
And that is only few Of the prizes
that we are spending $500 for. II
order to make the contest one worth
| while.
| And If there are any among 20,
| who have an idea you will see YOU
name in the winners list by holding
down to one answer on each picture
then our advice given In all sin
certify and kindness is, do not expect
even a taste OF that candy pile!
For If you are as wise as Solomo,
was reputed to me- we do not thinl
you can win with one answer. O
course. there are a number of picture:

The appointment OF a joint scale
Committee featured the Joint confer
ence OF miners and operators OF the
annual convention OF the Fifth Ohio
sub-district miners. which has been In
session In this city this week. and but
little other business Of importance was
accomplished yesterday. From pres
ent indications IL Is hardly likely that
the convention will come to a close
before the middle Of next week. e
The morning session OF the miners
was devoted to a discussion OF the
rules OF the proposed scale and mary
changes were made. The miners met
the operators at I O'Clock and a COM
mittee OF four was appointed to dis
cuss the increase which the scale
provides. The committee was COM
posed OF President Charles Albssin
and Secretary William Applegarth. of
the miners. and s. II. Robins ana Roy
Wilderman. representing the opera
tors. The committee was inesssion
most of the afternoon and agreed on
practically everything except the rate
of machine cut prices. and this boint
was referred back to the joint scale
committee.
The joint scale committee as ap-
pointed at the afternoon meeting is
as follows: Operators-John Simp-
son, Lee Rankin. William Moke, DIR.
Biddle. Frank Neff. r. l.. wildermuth.

they will meet at 1 o'clock in the o.
