Hawley Urged
for Senate

Since the death of Senator Hey-
burn there has been considerable
speculation as to who would be
appointed in his place and oflate
the subject has waxed warm
among the leading democratics
OF the state. Dubois. Perky Nu-
gent, and several others from the
north have all been in a receptive
mood and at last it seems that
Hawley will be the appointee to
fill the unexpired term.
This last suggestion is meeting
with approval all over the state
and it is believed that the govern.
or could do more good than any
other democrat because of his ac-
quaintance with the land mat
ters of the state and as a result
of that conditions the democra.
is and republicans are alike urg-
ing his appointment; Should the
governor consent to make this
move 1t. Gov. Sweetser would be
our governor until January next
Senator H. C. Haight received
the following telegram Wednes-
day and he has wired back his
reply urgeing the appointment
of Governor Hawley to the SEN
atorship filling the vacancy caus-
ed by the death af Senator Hey
burn.
"lf suggestion meets approval
please wire governor Hawley
urging him on grounds public
policy accept recess appointment
as senator for Idaho. He is in
position to do more good tor
state than any other man i'll

pointment will be to advantage
of all" "

Oakley Dam
Nearing
Completion.
A FEW WEEKS OFGOoD WEATHER
MEANS MUCH.

Mr.. ], C. Porterheld of the Far
is Engineering and Construction
Company in commenting on the
progress being made at the dam
says that if this week remains
fair that the earth work at the
dam will be so tar along that its
completion is certain within a
short time.
Of course there will be consider
able ripraping to be done but the
weather will not interfere with
that. They are still running day
and night and good progress is
being made.
There is yet twenty feet more
to raise the dam but the surface
that is to be covered is very small
compared with a few months
ago
From all Indications every
thing bids fair for a very favor
able opening next Spring.
Water is now being stored in
the reservoir and is within FIVE
feet of being up to the highest
mark of last spring.
There is now about fifty-three
feet of water stored and at the
present rate of storing the dam
will be we'll filled before the high
water reaches us in April.
1t should not surprise the citi-
zens of this valley If there is not
a large amount of water run to
waste next spring. oweing to the
large volumn already gathered
and the heavy SHOWS now stored
in the mountains and the winter
and spring still before us.
During the past summer the
construction company has work
ed a large force of men day and
night in order to have everything
in readiness and their success is
certain with much to their credit
for the push and vim they have
exhibited this year.

Academy
Notes
FAST B. B. GAME.

NASA - ~ ~ - AW
WINTER COURSE STARTS DEC. 2.
A basket ball game took place
last Friday night between our
team and the Oakley boys. Our
players were in good trim as to
wind. endurance, and combinat-
ions while the Oakley five were
lacking in all of these, This was
due to the fact that they had not
been practicing long enough. By
constant work though, the score
might be reduced at least before
the winter is done. The score
was 43--5 in the C.S.A. favor.
The Domestic Science Depart
ment is soon to have a dining
room fully equipped. This means
that the girls taking the courses
given in that department will be
taught correct methods in scrv-
ing dinners and luncheOns.
Everyone enjoyed the taffy
candy made by the girls this
week. At such times all members
of the school are glad that such
department exists.
The winter course begins Dec
ember 2. All who antiscipate
going had better manage to start
on that date and get the benefit
of the entire work given.

ORIGINAL COOPERATION
First Record In History of the Organization of the First
Printers Board of Trade.

Said primitive he in a tree,
Where wolf seeking food had caused him to fee
"Competition is fierce, am tired of strife.
A sabretoothed tiger has eaten my wife
My children have gone the way, one by one;
The life am leading is not any fun
I'm front of his there on the hill
Is a man whom for weeks I've been trying to kill
If he sees am helpless up here in a tree
It's ten-to-one-shot he will kill and eat me-
It's cotton my nerve, this competitive game
wish there was some way to alter the same"
Now the man the hill had not eaten that day
So, armed with a club, he had stolen away
And chance led him straight the where the man
Sat musing upon the competitive plan.
"Hal Hal" he exclaimed "here's some good easv meat.
My wife and the children will now have a treat"
Said the man in the tree, "Hold onl Over there
In those rocks are a couple of cubs OF a bear
1t would not be safe to attack them alone
But together We'll strip them of hair hide and bone
Their flesh is quite tender, for both there's enough
As for me, am lanky and stringy and tough"
Now the man from the hill was suspicious because
The Idea was opposed to competitive laws
But he finally consented, the bear cubs were slain
And together the rivals went hunting again
Thus primitive man, with unbounded eiaton
Discovered the blessings of cooperation
Now, isn't it strange there should still be a man
Who favors the ancient competitive plan?

BLOOD POISONING
IN palm OF HAND
Chas. Hall Of Economy Rug Factory
on Seneca Street has Severe.
Attack.

Charles Hall. of the Economy Rug
factory on Seneca street, Is suffer-
ing with a severe attack of blood
poisoning in one Of his hands. The
disease was first noticed last week
when the hand began to swell and
gave Mr.. Hall much trouble. In a
few days 1t became SO painful that
he could no longer work with 1t and
he consulted physician. An exam
ination disclosed the fact that blood
poisoning, supposed to have origin
ated from bruise, was the cause OF
the trouble Since that time the
hand has become worse and for the
past few days Mr.. Hall has been
compelled to carry it in a sling. The
peculiar feature of the injury is that
he has no recollection of bruising
the hand. The injury Is in the palm
of the hand near where a callous
has been worn and this it is thought
may be the cause of the trouble.
However, Mr.. Hall says that the cal
lous has been on his hand for many
years and has never before given
him trouble. The injury. is slowly
improving at present.
