Probably the most attractive fea-
ture Of show day to Mr. and Mrs.
]. H. McCowen, was the arrival Of a
twelve pound boy at their home He
takes after his mama, which is an
evidence of his fine quality. Already
he has been named Jack and whether
he is called by that name or not, he
makes a noise just like a baby any
time This is the McCowen's second
child, little Miss Helen being one of
the rosy checked beauties of the city.

How Would It Be To Remove Them

Would it not be a good plan for
the city fathers to anticipate the many
improvements to be made by the Ore
gon Short Line in Blackfoot, and re-
move tho hitching posts along the
main street of the town? When
there is all evidence of wanting to
make the city beautiful on the part
OF city officials would it not act as
an incentive to the railroad to DO
even more than they contemplated?

Washington, May 20-Tension over
the japanese situation continues to ex-
cite attention in official and diplo-
matte quarters.
1t is generally accepted that one of
the primary points of protest by Ja-
pan is that the California law is in
contravention of the treaty OF 1911,
but exactly wherein has not thus ia
been disclosed. Governor Johnson,
last communication to the federal au
thorities analyzed the treaty and the
law to the end of showing that the
latest enactment is in no way a con
travention of the treaty. The first
and most fundamental issue, there
fore, appears to be over this question
of whether the law is, or is not Z.
trary to the treaty.

Reply to Japanese Note

Washington, May 20. - Now that
Governor Johnson has signed the an
ti-alien land law against which Japan
is protesting, the next stage in diplo-
matte negotiations will be the formal
delivery Of the reply of the United
States to the Japanese note. This
communication has Eeen considered by
President Wilson and the cabinet
and it is understood to have been
withheld from delivery to the Japan
ese ambassador only to await John
sons signature on the bill When
Secretary Bryan heard through news
dispatches that johnson had signed
the bill he went over to the execu-
tive offices for a short conference
with President Wilson. When he came
from the Presidents office Bryan an
nounced that the formal reply to ia
pan would be delivered as soon as
official notification of the signing OF
the bill had been received. Bryan ex-
poets telegram from Governor John
son.

Professor Vernon Cooper of the
manual training department of the
high school has just received no
tice of and an invitation to attend
tho twentieth annual meeting of the
Western Drawing and Manual Train
ing association to be held at Des
Moines, Iowa, May 7. 8, and 10.
This association which is made up
of entirely industrial educators from
the different schools and colleges
throughout the United States was or
organized in 1892 with but small
membership. This year, however, at
their twentieth gathering, will be as
sembled drawing instructors and
manual training teachers represent

colleges of any Importance in the

Object, Of Meeting.
The object of the meeting is for
the express purpose of promoting
industrial education. Some of the
best speakers and industrial educat
ors in the country will be present
and will discuss the improved meth
DDS of handling and advancing this
particular phase Of practical educa-
tional work which has become such
prominent part of our modern
school systems. Besides this the diff
ferent representatives will exchange
ideas which they have found useful
in their work, and in this way the
best and most practical of each
place will be adopted and carried
home to every manual training
school throughout the country which
is represented.
Will Be Conventional.
This meeting will not be entirely
conventional as the regular harangue
of the program will be supported by
profusiom of exhibits to demon.
strate what actually can be accom-.
plished in drawing and manual train
ing. No other educational associa-
ton perhaps, not even any of these
Drevious ones ever attempted to ex-
hibit on so large scale. They will
be by far the largest in number and
most representative of both the com
mercial and educational work that
have ever been shown. These ex-
hibits will furnish new ideas, inspir-
alton. and opportunities for compare
son to manual training teachers,
which is very valuable
Schools Are Invited.
Since these exhibits will be a
prominent feature of the convention
the association has invited every
school of any size to submit some of
their work. Professor Cooper is al
ready making arrangements with
some of his expert carpenters and an
chitects for their best effort along
