NOT FOR US, THANKS

The Boise Statesman, has notified
the country weeklies that they can
no longer exchange with them be-
cause of the increasing demand and
the great cost attached to the ex-
change list. We don't know any
thing about the exchange list Of the
Statesman. The Optimist carries
about twenty or thirty papers, very
few of which would not. be missed
from the table. Since starting this
paper we have added an exchange
almost every three months. The
new ones are papers that have start
ed over the state since we COM
menced the publication of the Op-
timist. A new paper means a suf-
ficient increase in the population of
community to justify a newspaper
man in taking chance. The Boise
Statesman circulation is not con-
fined to Boise alone, but rather to
the entire state. If their exchange
list has grown it is because the ter
ritory through which the paper cir
culates, has increased its population
and with that increase, the circula-
ton of the Statesman grows or
should if the management is alive.
Having showed lead on few papers
that could envelope the Statesman
equipment, and not haze their di-
gestive organs materially effected,
we feel that we are in a position to
say that the city daily or weekly
gets most of its state news from the
feeders of it's columns, the country
weekly. That paper covers the news
in sparcely settled districts Just as
thoroughly as does the daily of the
city, and that daily works the scis-
sors on the weekly to standstill.
Therefore the weekly in the country
town, does it's share toward filling
up the city daily with. state news,
something the latter cannot get
along without, and we don't hardly
think that the manager of this paper
will dig up $3.50 for the privilege of
having the Statesman on the ex-
change table. Not vet.

HENRY LYNCH DIES

Henry Lynch died in st. Paul last
Thursday at o'clock, after long
ILLNESS. He has had heart trouble
for several months, and left here
about a month ago to see whether a
change of climate would not be ben
eficial to him, going to his old home
He leaves family residing on the
Pratt farm near Moreland. Miss
Mae Lynch, of Twin Fall, one of
the best operators the local tele-
phone ever had here, is daughter.
Mrs. Lynch returned from st. Paul
about three weeks ago, having gone
there to attend Mr.. Lynch, but his
condition improved and Mrs. Lynch
returned to Moreland to look after
her children, some of whom are
small. A telegram announcing his
death did not arrive sufficiently
early to make it possible for any of
the family to attend the funeral.

ROTTEN SERVICE
ON TELEPHONES

A long suffering public is firing of
the present system of working one
of the public utilities, the telephone
1t takes from twenty seconds to a
minute to connect, up ht.central"
and about that length of time to get
the party with whom you wish to
converse. The local manager has
trouble in getting sufficient opera
tors, so it is said, to perform the
work. Whether this is the case or
not, the factremains that people are
paying good money for rotten SER
vice and have been doing SO for
some time and the condition has
ceased to be joke. The telephone
girls are courteous and no one has n
kickD coming on their work The
company has money and should hire
more help.

day. All the larEe Insane hospitals
in the eastern states have txken up
the motion picture ~ an amusement
for the patients and from the ex-s
pressions of the physiciana in
charge, it is meeting with great
success. Blackfoot's hospital has
not been behind in this, as DR..
Poole, the superintendent, has in
augurated this system in the hospi-
tai here. If you had attended the
Isis theatre last wreck you would
have seen number of the patients
IN charge of the nurses enjoying the
silent drama and from the express
sion on their faces one would come,
to the conclusion that they were en- +
joying a rare treat. The state hos
pital located at Blackfoot, under
the management of DR.. Poole is AZ
up-to-date as any Of the insane hos
pitfalls in the United States. He IL
always looking to the care and
treatment of his patients and If one
will visit the hospital they will be
convinced that his work is meeting

1t will only be short time until
the motion picture will be one of
the greatest factors in our public
schools.
