A slight change has been made
in the new time card of the Boise
Valley Railway and this only eff.
fects the "stub" from Meridian to
'Onwiler. The leaving time from
Meridian is changed from five
minutes after the hour and 50
minutes after the hour to the
even hour and half hour. This
gives five minutes more for the
run to Onwiler, and is not only a
help to the conductor, but makes
an easier time to remember, es-
pecially as the old time card was
on the hour. The change will be
noticed in the company's adver
tisement in another column of
this PAPER.

Call For The Convention.

As Chairman of the Committee
of One Hundred Of the Men and
Religion Forward Movement for
Southern idaho and Eastern Ore
gon, and on behalf of the Com.
mittee, / take pleasure in extend.
ing call to the Christian men in
this territory, pastors as well as
laymen, to gather in Boise on
February l3 and IA, 1912, for the
great Men and Religion Forward
Movement Convention. This
mighty movement has been gath
ering momentum as it has been
swooping over the country. and it
will strike Idaho at the very food
tide of its success The gathering
promises to be one Of the most
notable and successful religions
conventions in the history of
Idaho. The movement has taken
tremendous hold on other parts Of
the country. Cities an rural
communities are organized and
working enthusiastically on the
enterprise. Idaho and Eastern
Oregon both need and deserve for
their men and boys the best the
movement can afford. Let us get
together during these days to or
ganize and equip ourselves to
personally present the claims of
Jesus Christ and His Church to
every nan and boy in this sec
ton before the Men and Religion
year have passed. 1t is our hope
and prayer that every church TO
which this call is sent will be rep
resented in this convention by /
from five to twenty-five Of it's
strongest men.

Meridian on the Main Line
OF Boise Valley Electric Road.

There are persistent rnmors that
the new management of the Boise
Valley electric line are planning
a new route west of Onwiler. aud
with this is coupled the plan to
pnt Meridian on the main lime,
thus doing away with the stub
to Onwiler. The surveying par
ties have been in this vicinity
this week, one starting line from
Niday corner, on the section line
half mile north of Meridian, and
going straight west to intersect
the line already built, going down
into Nampa This would make
about four miles Of new road, and
would shorten the distance from
Boise to Nampa about a mile.
The other surveying party start
from Onwiler, use the route into
Meridian, and going south a half
mile, TO the Fenton corner, turn
and 60 west to intersect the road
going into Nampa. Both lines
would go through good territory
and the one passing Meridian
would not only save mile in the
Boise. Nampa run, but it would go
through the best paying point on
the line { Meridian and do away
with the expense of STUB"
That change Of the line west
of Onwiler is being considered is
evident to those who have kept in
touch with the straws that Sin
dicate the direction of the wind"
That Meridian will profit by the
new plan is equally true. The
new company management have
indicated that whatever the change
is, Meridian will be the beneficiary
as they are not going to turn
down" their best trade center. A
line to Knna is talked of, and the
logical point from which the line
would start would be Meridian.
With three-fourths of the job
bing and passenger trade of Mer-
idian, and with the prospects of
an increase as the town and neigh
borhood grows, the Boise valley
management realize the value of
this town to their business. As
this place is made more easy of
access to farmers, business in all
lines will increase, and the Boise
Valley will share in the profit.
The company will complete
their new line from Nampa to
Caldwell in short time and the
force will then be put on the
Boise-Nampa line to rebuild the
old road bed, laying heavier rails,
and placing it in shape that they
can make the run from Boise to
Nampa in 80 minutes. While
they are at liberty to change, be-
fore making permanent road bed.
the chance to save a mile and take
in Meridian also, should appeal to
the company as being a sensible
thing,

Col. Roosevelt says the word but
