A New Combination.

What is promised Ia put new life into
this section Of Southern Idaho, and be
the means OF bringing large number OF
strangers Ia the North Side, Is the or
ganization nf Colonization Co.. headed
by |. b. Pcrrine, oi Twin Falls and II.
l.. llollister OF Chicago, who have asso-
ciated with them other real estate men
who are reported as being familiar with
colonization methods. While We have
not been given the full details regarding
the mode of operations To he pursued, II
is well known that the two former gen
tlemen are holders of property on the
North Side tract to the extent of several
thousand acres, much of which is still i'll
the sage brush state, and any method
that can be- adopted that will have for its
object the settlement and improvement
of this land cannot help but meet with
the approval of the settlers already ON
the tract. In addition To this the Land
x Water Co. have turned over to this
new organization all the land they have
remaining unsold on the tract, for dis
posal 10y them
The headquarters ol the company will
be at Twin Falls, to which point all their
buyers will be brought, a program that
from past history, does not sound good
To North Side people From this point
an attempt will he made To get the buy
ems To visit this tract, and the Salmon
River tract, which is also included in
their field oi operation. branch Office
for the North Side will he established al
the Jerome Hotel, which will be under
the management of W. b. Millson. II
is stated that active operations will COM
mence at once, and in fact have alread,
commenced, as one ol our citizens who
was on the through train last Friday
states that nearly one hundred pasScn
vers left the train at Minidoka bound io
Twin Falls, but up to this time the Nortl
Side has seen very small per cent q
this contingent.
The new organization has our hes
wishes for success so long as they sho'
the North Side equal consideration wit

we have the best opportunities Offered b
any section in Southern Idaho, We wi
heartily welcome and assist any atteml

A JOY MEETING.
The Citizens of the Wendell District
Enjoy Successful Social
Gathering.

This paper has time and again
called attention to the most hospit-
able spirit that predominates among
the citizens Of the Great North Side
Tract, and this was most forcibly
demonstrated again last Friday
evening when the people of the
Wendell district, forgetting all petty
strifes and differences, gathered to-
gether in one Of the greatest and
most successful gatherings of like
nature ever held on the tract. The
meeting was not inaugurated for
the purpose Of advancing any par
ticular interest or cause but WAS a
co-mingling of all the interests Of
that section.
It, inception was inspired in the
brain of Mai. Fred r. Reed, who is
ever alert to the welfare of the peo-
pie of the tract, and that the affair
might not have the semblance of
any selfish motive connected with
it, an arrangement committee was
appointed and Rex V. Wilcox, a
member of tie board Of directors OF
the Canal Users Association was
made chairman of the meeting, and
the principal orator for the occasion
was Hon. Victor q. Johnson, who
has hut recently been chosen as the
. legal advisor of the board.
The Major realized that the peo-
a., Pile had just passed through long
. winter, and with the advent o
f spring it was befitting that they
e meet and enjoy season of gooC
= cheer preparatory to the commence
ment uf the seasons farm work
Not only was the matter of intel
lectual enjoyment taken into con
sideration, but the bodily wellfar
Of the people was substantial
looked after a. well.

One corner of the large hall had
been transformed into commissary

towns had been called upon to fur
nish some of the provisions neces-
sary to feed the large number that
was anticipated, and 1000 buns
and an equal number of doughnuts
had been ordered from the bakery
here at Jerome. At the close of
the exercises the large audience was
formed into lines and as they passed
the corps of walters their plates
were laden with sandwiches, baked
beans, pickles, doughnuts, apples,
oranges, bananas, and large
cup of steaming coffee, and when
all were served il was found that
there were over 800 people who had
partaken, and this, together with
the smaller children present would
swell the number To over GOO.
The affair was grand success

compliments were bestowed upon
the Major for conceiving the plan
and an equal credit given the com

The Parcel Post is one step in
the direction Of alternating the
oppression that the greed of cap
ital has imposed upon the people.
1t will in ameasure, protect the
people from the rapacity of the
big transportation corporations,
as well as from the greed Of the
country merchant. It will en-
| able the laborer, the consumer,
to select what he wants instead
Of being compelled to buy what
ever it suits the whim of his 10.

1t will abolish the credit system.

will be the tremendous influence
that it will have in Fastening tht

you can do me a great deal

answer to this we want to
say, once for all, that the
Courier is not espousing the
cause of any Candidate for

its Mission. That would be
undenlocratic and unfair to.
the other candidates in the
field. Unless driven to do so
by the attitude or acts Of
some aspirant for office to-
ward the paper, the Courier
will not take up the cudgel
for nor against any candi-
date in the field. The editor
will exercise his personal
prerogatiye and vote and
work for the man Of his
choice among the various
candidates for the different
offices to ! be filed, and in
making this choice he will be
governed by the qualifica-
lions and fitness of the can
didate to discharge the duties
of the office to which he as.
pires. But in the exercise
of this privilege will do so as
an individual aad not as the
editor of the Courier. .
