MONTGOMERY THE AUCTlONEER
SPEAKS HIS MIND

N. E. Montgomery the auctioneer
and merchant, asks for an opportuni-
ty to express his views on local mat
tiers, and his article is printed below.
Old things have passed away and
behold all things have become new.
How often these days are we re-
minded of the above passage of scrip
ture, when we see old laws and Gus
toms passing away and new ones TAX
ing their places. The law of Moses
of IAN eye for an eye, and tooth
for a TOOTH" passed away when
Christ established the new law Of do
unto others as you would that others
do unto YOU" But the time Is COM
ing and now is, that the law of Christ
is passing away, and new ones are
being established, which loosen the
filters Of the CRATER, and bind and
grind to death that which is true and
honest. So If you would free your
self from the law, you must 60 hand
in hand with rings, combines and
grafters. This may seem like strong
talk at first, but stop, think and con-
sider We want to call your special
attention to law recently passed by
our city council which imposed tax
too large for poor man, on the man
who held his merchandise up before
the public and said, What will you
give for it," But imposed no tax
upon the man who said "You must
pay my price," even though it be out
Of reason. Now if we pass laws
against the just and in favor of the
unjust, how long will it be until an
all wise and just God will become so
angry that he will again destroy ev-
erything upon the earth as he did in
the days of Noah. Now I'm going to
ask the public few questions, and
you can answer them to please your
self.
Is man a criminal or a nuisance
because he sells goods for less than
other people?
Is he a benefit to the town and
country in which he lives if he sells
goods for the price that people are
willing to pay for them?
Is it wrong to keep the money at
home that is being sent to catalogue
houses, while allowing a firm to do
business in your town, who will COM
pete with catalogue houses?
Is is boost or a knock for town
to have the reputation of selling
goods cheaper? II we were not SELL
ing goods cheaper than other mer-
chants would there be any boiler?
If the people stand for laws of this
kind, how long will it be until we
are in bondage?
We might go on and write column

AT THE ENDS OF THE EARTH

1t lis now literally true that men
can 60 to the ends of the earth
Both the north and the south poles
have been visited, and at each place
nothing abounds but space.
Peary, an American, visited the
north pole and found it frozen
sea. Amundsen, a Norwegian, with
four companions, reached the south
pole on December 18th, and found
1t flat plateau among mountains.
1t has generally been considered
a more difficult task to reach the
south than the north pole, but it has
proven to be much easier.
Four other parties are also MAX
ing the effort, and If any of them
reach the spot they will find the flag
of Norway there.
It is about time for a new gold
rush to be started, and it might be
in the Antarctic continent. If any
of these explorers should return
with reports of gold discoveries rich
enough, the adventurers of the earth
would lose no time in getting there.

"HORSE AND HORSE,
(Grangeville Globe)


Anent the interesting topic Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's candidacy for the
presidency, Mr.. Bryan says: when
party gets to that stage of deca-
dence that it can find only one man
in it that it considers worthy to run
for the presidency and is compelled
to violate the anti-third term prece-
dent set by the former great men of
our country, and run him the third
time to win that exalted office, it is
time the friends of that party buried
it."
Mr.. Roosevelt might pass it back
in kind to Mr.. Bryan by saying:
when party reaches that stage of
degeneracy that it runs the most
available man in it three times for
the exalted office of president, and
the people reject him each and every
time, it would seem that it would
take a tumble to itself and pass out
by the harikari route to that bourne
whence no echoes come back"

WILL ADVERTISE THIS SECTION

The different towns Of the Upper
Snake River valley are going to make
a concerted effort to induce home
seekers to come into this section and
farm the thousands of acres that are
yet practically untouched by cultiva-
ton.
A meeting of representatives from
Bonneville, Fremont. Bannock and
Bingham counties was held in the
Club of Commerce rooms at Idaho
Falls Wednesday night and steps
were taken which if followed to a fin
ish will give the Upper Snake River
valley the greatest publicity 1t has
ever had.
immigration Commissioner S. J.
Rich was present and in an interest
ing address gave the representatives
of the various booster organizations
the benefit of his large experience in
getting before the people of the east
with the resources of the west. Mr..
Rich has represented Idaho at the
different big land shows in the east
and is in close touch with thousands
of people who are contemplating a
change to the west. His knowledge
of the resources of Idaho and the
home opportunities presented by diff
ferent districts of the state together
with his large experience in public
ity work makes him especially valua-
BILE to Idaho as immigration commits
sioner.
A committee was appointed at the
meeting as an executive committee
representing Fremont, Bonneville,
Bannock and Bingham counties to
formulate plan for issuing an Up
per Snake River booklet that will be
the biggest and most complete piece
of literature of this kind ever issued
for eastern Idaho.
1t is the intention of the commit
tee to raise fund of not less than
$4,000 for the expense of issuing
this book. All section of the Upper
Snake River valley will be represent
ed with the same unbiased accuracy.
The best pictures possible to obtain
will be secured by a special photog-
rapher who will be sent into every
part of the country represented to Sc
cure scenes that will show the home
seeker the great diversity of the Up
per Snake River valley. The best
special descriptive writer that can be
found will be employed to write an
accurate and detailed story of eastern
Idaho and the book will be the most
valuable work of the kind ever is
sued from any single section of the
state.

STYLES IN

The month of September is suppos-
ed to mark the beginning Of the fall
season. It is usually the month in

the fall styles. This fact IS most
strongly noticeable in the change Of
styles Of ladies hats. Already the
windows Of the millinery shops are
beginning to blossom with the crea-
tions that viii adorn the heads of her
majesty, the American woman, sailor
and close turbans seem to be the
prevailing styles and close trimming
and fancy small wings Will be seen
on the more up-to-date headwear.
There is no doubt but what the la
dies Of Grand Rapids will be right
in the swim and it is a fact that our
local miuiners can and do supply the
patrons with the very latest styles
and shapes and the most particular
lady can have her wants gratified
in the millinery line right here at

ing for your own town is another
thing, but the two viii go together.

merchant and help build up your city

Mrs. H. D. White is very serious
Iy i'll at her home on Church street
as a result of a stroke of paralysis
which she suffered the first of the
week. Last Sunday evening she
had gone for an auto ride with her
husband and son, 4. W. White, and
wife, and on returning home was
able to a.light from the car only with.

to walk about occasionally until
Tuesday, when a change for the
worse was apparent. From that
time she failed rapidly and on Thurs
day night her life was dispaired of.
She is now in a helpless state. Mrs.
White had been stricken with two
previous attacks in the past four
years, which, however, were Of a
comparatively slight nature. Mrs.
Grant White of Fond du Lac is as
sisting in caring for her.-Steyens

BISHOP GRAF
TON DEAD

Fond du Lac, Wis, Aug. 3O.-Bis-
hop Charles Chapman Grafton, noted
American eccIesiastic, author and
historian passed away at his episco-
pal residence on East Division street
this morning at 11:45 o'clock.
The end came peacefully. The dis
tfngufshed prelate began to weaken
rapidly this morning and the attend
ing physician expressed the opinion
at that time that he did not believe
he would survive another twenty-fom
hours. This morning the bishop con
versed only in monosyIlabIes and
then only when spoken to several
times by those at the bedside.
At the bedside when the end came
were members of = the Episcopal
clergy, the nurses and Sister Rebec-
ca of the Ststerhood of the Holy Ma
tivity the order founded by Bishop
Grafton The death of the prelate
was without struggle being hkened
by those at the bedside to the pass
ing into a deep. sleep. The patri-
clan face bore a smile as the death
angel separated the spirit from the
body and the servant of God passed
into the presence Of his Master.
AS the news of the bishops death
swept through the parish, genuine
grief was in evidence. The passing
of the man whose bigness of heart
whose kindness of spirit and whose
love Of humanity had made him be-
loved of all who knew him, was
mourned in a sincere manner.
The funeral will be held at 1920
o'clock Tlsozes5y R.afning at s. Pant
Cathedral.
The body viii be inferred in the
burial plat of the Sisters of the Holy
Nativity at Rfenzf cemetery. The
bishop has asked that cenotaph be
erected at the Cathedral and this wiss
will be followed out.
Throne Draped in Mourning.
Following the express directions of
the bishop, his throne at the Cathe-
draI has been draped in black and
will remain in mourning for thirty
days when Bishop Coadjutor r. H.
Weller will be enthroned and become
bishop.

the cable was there. People on the
bank got out boats and went TO the
reseue. Mr.. Wheeler was taken off
in a boat and the other two men
worked their way along the cable
hand over hand to shore.
The launch is said to be the same
one that figured in an accident three
years ago in which four people lost
their lives by going thru the big
sIuiceway at the Consolidated dam.
It is certain that had the launch not
