Willing TO Learn

A few issues back we joked Friend
Fegtly Of the Jordan Valley Express
about paragraph in that excellent
journal which stated that somebody
had thrown up a restaurant. We
thought the gentleman referred to should
take little bromo or something tosettle
his stomach.
Now our very much esteemed CON
temporary gets back at US as follows:
Probably the correct solution of the
matter is the fact that brother Burr
oughs was formerly resident of the
eastern states and moved in the
aesthetic society Of Washington, D. c.,
and has not yet become accustomed to,
and able to comprehend the meaning
intended to be conveyed by our west
ern phrases, like ''passing the buck,
throwing up the SPONGE" taking an
"eye opener'' before breakfast, or to
stand pat;" and we can just imagine
the look of wonder and amazement
that would spread over his counte-
nance if any one should ask him to
take a shot?'
With sorrow we have to admit that
Fegtly is probably right. The west is
evidently no place for minister's son
and we suppose wen have to return
to the aesthetic Society of the East,
what ever that may be.
But we cannot help feeling that our
broncho-busting, stand-patting, sponge
throwing, eye-opening, buck passing
friend in Jordan should have attended
to cur education little. In all the
years OF our acquaintanceship if he had
asked us to take shot or have some
thing" maybe by this time we would
have reached an understanding Of these
terms with which he is so familiar. We
envy him his erudition in these particu.
lars, humbly admit that we know moth
ing whatever about them, and are sin
cerely willing to sit at the feet Of
Gamaliel.

The recent Teachers Institute at Boise
was not only one Of the most successful
yet held but also one Of the most useful
from practical standpoint.
We believe that condensed account
of the proceedings will be of interest to
both the parents and trustees all over
the County. For this reason we shall
in the issue Of Feb. / make a speciality
Of school matters all over the county
and Of the Boise Institute. We expect
to have few words in this issue from
every school in Owyhee County as well
as other matters of interest to parents
and teachers.

LIGHTS OUT
The White Way Thing of the Past
 But it Was Great.

The White Way Thing of the Past
 But it Was Great.
 The White Way is dark again, save for the regulation lights glimmering in the gloom that has replaced the glare of the last two weeks. The White Way was kept white until New Years night, and many were the expressions of admi- ration called forth by the illumination. As bit of public enterprise. th1s White Way scheme was one of the best things the business people of Canaan have done and one effect is to make Canaan better known as live, wide-awake, hustling burg, than ever before. It has been ad- mired by hundreds of trayelers passing through on the cars, and commented up- on in all the surrounding towns, bestow- ing upon our town 8 prestige it never before enjoyed--and now it is up to the town to live up to it.
 Satisfaction with the lights was uni versal-there was not single criticism with the in way which the Berkshire Power Go. did it's part in the illumination program, and it is inevitable that the White Way must be hereafter regular feature of the holiday season,
