TENDER 16, at 10 a. M. for the purpose

To the commercial clubs, chambers OF
commerce, boards of trade. irriga-
ton and development companies,
mayors and county commissioners,
greeting:
A convention Of your representatives
is hereby called to meet in the city OF
Boise at 10 a. m. the 18th day of Sep
TENDER, 1912, for the purpose OF con-
sidering the following questions:
l. What steps shall be taken by
the state Of Idaho to insure adequate
and successful representation of the
states developed and undeveloped re-
sources at the Panama Pacific Inter-
national exposition to be held at San
Francisco in 1915.
2. What further steps shall be TAX
en- by the state of Idaho to insure the
advertising of the opportunities pre-
sented by this state to those of other
sections of the United States between
now and 1915 for the general purpose
of increasing the population of the
state and bringing about as rapid
development of its resources as may
llegitimately be accomplished and for
the particular purpose Of persuading
as many as possible Of the visitors to
the Panama Pacific International ex-
position either to go or to return from
California on one Of the many rail-
roads traversing this state.
The state of Idaho has already sell
ected one of the two or three best sites
for state buildings at the exposition:
1t is a beautiful plot Of ground look
ing out upon the Golden Gate harbor
and is Immediately in front Of that
section of the bay on which the naval
maneuvers will be held 1t Is neces-
sary that Idaho shall do justice not
only to itself but to the exposition by
gathering and maintaining there as
fine an exhibit as may be Of the agri-
cultural, mineral, timber and other re-
sources of the state.
1t is estimated that the railroads will
carry not less than 100000 people each
way during the year 1915. In order
to take advantage Of this tremendous
traffic and induce the greatest share
of these people to visit Idaho while on
their trip westward 1t will be essential
that the state Immediately take steps
to inform the prospective visitors to
the fair of the many advantages which
will accrue to them from a visit to
Idaho and to impress upon their minds
how and over what routes they should
buy their tickets.

DEMPsTER A GOOD LOSER.

Charles w. Dempster, candidate for
lieutenant governor, who was defeated
at the recent primary by Herman II.
Taylor, refuses to be stampeded by the
so-called progressives. He entered the
recent primaries and declares in let
ter which has been mailed to Spirit
Lake citizen that TT is poor sport
who knocks his opponent after he has
taken the count" He brands the story
which has been circulated to the effect
that he would accept Moose nomin-
alton as false.
Dempster is to be credited with an
element in his nature which appears
to be lacking in some politicians. He
is on the right track.

"Nsthing," replied McFee. Why"

A reply to the Virginia corporations COM
mission regarding complaints of the irreg-
ular operation and overcrowded condi-
ton OF cars on the Great Falls and Old

the Alexandria County Court House Citi-
zens' Association at it's last meeting.
The matter came up on statement
that the commission had sent letters to
five or six persons in Clarendon and Fort
Myer Heights asking for a conference in
regard to the complaints which had be-
come numerous.
The complaints have involved running
cars past stations where passengers We're
waiting to be brought to town and car
rying passengers hanging on the guards
and steps. and in one instance on the
coupler outside the rear of the car
The association Monday night voted to
write to the commission asking that
more cars be put on the road to relieve
the overcrowding, that a new time table
be published showing when cars may be
expected at the several stations and
what cars belong to the through service
to Bluemont and what cars will carry
passengers from way stations. and that
1t remove from the public grounds at
Colonial the unsightly freight station
which makes the crossing dangerous and
the station an inconvenient place for
passengers to leave the cars.

CEDAR STREET DEPRESSED
Completion of Subway Under
Railway Tracks Due
October 5.

Completion of the Cedar street subway
under the tracks Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company in Takoma Park

to announcement today by the District
engineer Of bridges, T. c. J. Baily. F1nal
grading of the street will be begun next
week by George Mullin, to whom the con-
tract for this work has been awarded. 1t
is expected that the grading will re-
uuire a month, after which the street will
be provided with sidewalks and given
surface of tar macadam.
The railway company has been using the
concrete bridge over the street Tor ABOUT
two weeks. The final grading will be be-
tween 4th and Carroll streets and Will
cost about $4,000. The entire improve
ment, when completed. will represent an
outlay Of about $4,000.
Commencing with an outlay OF ABOUT
S11 600 for land, the District awarded the
contract for the construction or the
bridge, which called for $4,000. to the
railway company. The cOmpany's share
of the grading cost was $1,000. 1t is said
that the cost of building the sidewalks
and surfacing the street Will be IN the
neighbOrhOod Of $1,000

frequent. Residents of Takoma Park De-
lieye that the improvement will lead to
q. considerable development In that sec

SAFEGUARDING BANKS.
Former Trusted Employees Who Go

In England and Germany such safe

possible to pecufate. On this side Of the
Atlantic the system of scrutiny is much

MAY BE LAST OF SEASON.
Schooner Is Unloading Ice at Alex
andria.

It is probable that the last cargo of
ice that will be unioaded at Alexandra
this season is now being discharged
from the four-masted schooner Maria
o. Teel, as the run of southern fruits
and berries that are carried In refrigera-
tor cars to the northern markets is now
practically over. and the ice company at
Alexandria has in storage ice enough to
meet demands for the remainder of the
season.
Since early in the spring, when the
fruit began to move, about 5000 tons of
ice have been used at Alexandria in fill
ing the tanks Of the cars that had it
aboard 1t may be that the Teel is the
last big schooner that will come UP the
Potomac with ice, as the Alexandra Ice
Company has plans for the building of a
big ice. plant this fall and winter that
will make ice enough to ill the demand
Of the refrigerator cars, and no natural
ice then will be brought to Alexandria
This will mean that a visit Of schooner
of any size to the Potomac will be a
rare thing.
The Teel will this afternoon or early
tomorrow morning complete the dis
charging Of her cargo. and, in tow Of the
tug Camilla, will leave Alexandria. to
be towed to the mouth of the river on
her way to Newport News, to be locked
for painting prior to going to Jackson

COAL FOR NEW ENGLAND.
Three Seagoing Barges Will Load at
GEORGETOWN.

Three big seagoing barges will
within the next week load cargoes of
soft coal at the Georgetown piers Of
the Consolidation Coal Company and
will take their cargoes to New Eng
land points.
Barge No. 10 was brought into port
late Tuesday night by the tug Camilla,
which took her from the tug that
brought her down the coast at Point
Lookout. and locked her under the
coal chutes at Georgetown. The work
of placing a cargo aboard the vessel
was started yesterday morning. and 1t
Is expected she will be loaded and
ready to sail before the end of this
week.
Barge No S, which is discharging a
cargo of Maine ice at the 9th street
wharf of the American Ice Company.
will follow No. 10 under the coal chutes
early in the coming week. and barge
No. II. which is on her way to this city
with ice from Maine. will load coal
after discharging the refrigerating
material she has aboard.
1t is thought probable that all the
coal that will be shipped from here
for the remainder of the season will
be sent in the big barges Of the Con-
solidation Coal Company. and no
schooners will be chartered for the
service.

COVERS OVERDUE TAXES.
Bill Sent to Congress by the Dis.

The District Commissioners have SEM
to Congress a bill providing for the can
collation. of certain overdue personal
taxes in the District of Columbia. AT
present there is no provision of law by
which the District authorities may cancel
assessments for unpaid personal taxes,
regardless Of the length Of time the as
easements have so remained.
1t is stated that the amount of such
taxes for the five years ended June 80.
1912, is between $1OO. 600 and $4,000. 1t
is pointed out that these assessments are
for various reasons, the
principle one being that the persons in
debted have gone out of business, so that
there are no accessible effects to levy on.
To carry these assessments upon the
books from year to year. it is claimed, is
merely perpetuating mass of obsolete
