2 Pairs of Trousers
 With These Boys AL Wool Suits $5 and $6

And when we've said all that, it's a mouthful Two pairs of Pants-for one pair never lasts the life of the coat All wool-a tremendous point of considera- ton, in these days of wool and cotton mix lures.
 And note this point of exclusiveness in the tailoring almost every pair of pants, the full English cut with side buckles-a style that will cause your boy to strut about in pride. Every suit as new as though it had just stepped from off the fashion plate of your imagination. There are no Pants in Birrning- ham as good for the money ds inc Pants that zve sell at $1.OO. This assertion is made after having seen and compared. Not only mixtures but even blue serges are included at this price.

was hit, although Tlmmons admits
that he did not like the closeness with

Twenty five hundred dollars worth

Ky How to Obtain Votes.
81 The way to obtain votes is to buy
goods of service at either of the
above named firms and pay cash for
the same at regular prices. For
every purchase made at either place,
voting coupon is issued for 100
votes. For every dollar spent in ad-
vertising or for Job printing at the
Republican office they issue 100 vot-
es on the auto contest, and for each
dollar spent for subscription to the
paper they issue 1000 votes. There
are no bargain days in this matter at
the Republican office, the only vari-
The Idaho Republican., 1912-11-29

alton from this rule is that those sub
scribing for five years receive 10000
votes and those taking ten-year sub.
scriptions receive $4,000 votes.
Three More Prizes.
All but three of the prizes have
been awarded those remaining being
the $1,000 automobile now on exhibit
at the Dibble Garage, a 5000 due bill
on another car, and a German silver
handbag. The handbag will be a.
warded about the middle of Dec.
and the other prizes will be awarded
on the 4th of January. 1913.
How it Started.
The race began the 18th of June
and 100 persons were nominated,
representing localities scattered from
Pahsemari Valley and the head of
Big Lost River to Aberdeen, Fl Hall
and Shelley.

The rer iating of pra tleally al the
recent Governments civilizations on
the subject. The United STAGES Geo
logical Survey has just reissued Bull
letin bill, by Hoyt S. Gale, on alu-
mite, a potash bearing mineral found
in a newly discovered deposit near
Marysvale, Utah Special interest
attaches TO alunite, for the potash
which it carries is believed to be
commercially oluble-that is, can
be reduced to fertilizine material
for instance, by a simple process OF
roasting and teaching the rock. The
bulletin describes vein which is
believed to be OF considerable size
and although IT can be no means
SUI ply the American demand for
potash it may meet local needs. The
commercial development of this de-
rosit will be OF greatest importance
perhaps in stimulating exploration
for other similar deposits. Alunite
has been observed by other members
of the Geological Survey at several
points in a number of western
States and 1t may therefore be ex-
pected that further prospecting and
Investigation will disclose deposits
that may yield large tonnage.
