SALT LAKERs HERE
Trade Excursion Train Stopped for an
Weather Was Bad.

The special train carrying the Salt
Lake excursionists and trade boosters
stopped in American Falls for an hour
Friday morning. from seven It'll eight
O'Clock, but unfortunately weather
conditions did not permit Of anything
in the way of sightseeing or social
visiting to any extent.
About the time the train rolled in
the weather man was handing US
reasonable healthy snow storm. so II
was impossible for the excursionists
to get far away from the train. How
ever. when about half the allotted time
for the stop had expired the snowfall
ceased and an open air meeting was
held in front of the Evans Mercantile
lcompany's store
! ID. W. Davis delivered a brief ad-
dress of welcome on behalf of the peo-
pie Of American Falls and Power
county, which was responded to by
Mr.. Hewlett for the Salt Lake business
men, The band played a few pieces
and the big doings" we're over.
Had weather conditions permitted
the Salt Lakers would have been takeu
for short morning JOY ride and e
meeting would have been held in the
Auditorium. but since the storm was
worth considerably more to this sec
tion Of the country than was the en-
tertaining OF excoursionists. everybody
is very well satisfied.

Friday, May 29th.

Friday, May 20, Witnessed the clos
ing OF the public schools of this city
upon probably the most successful
year of their history. The enrolment
was the largest ever had.

eral review of the work accomplished,
but some of the things accomplished
during the year, which occur to US at
this time, includes the provision for

also the placing of certain line of worry
in the hands of special teachsfs
throughout all the grades.
The closing exercises were attend
ed with the usual ceremonies: The
graduating exercises for the eighth
grad, the class play by the high school
students, and other features of enter
tainment and ceremony.
The class play "The Private Tutor"
was presented in the Auditorium and
was complete success so far as the
obd6Ah6 anu dClin6 do COuCCl uCQy
though the audience was not nearly as
large as it should have been. The pro-
duction merited better patronage and
more encouragement However, those
taking part can take credit for having
done their work remarkably we'll
Miss Bessie Cronkhite, who staged the
play, is certainly entitled to praise for
the able manner in which her finished
work was produced Those who repre-
sented the various characters of the
cast were: Gladys Davie, Mildred Faa.
Myra Angelly, Calvin Sallee, Harold
'Sweetwood. Moroni Johnson and Jessie
and Leslie Giffin.
The play was also presented at Won

ELECT DELEGATES To
STATE CONVENTION
ALL POLITICAL PARTIES HELD
COUNTY CONVENTIONS HERE
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.
Republicans and Progressives Elect
Six Delegates and Democrats Only
Three-Some Question as to Mean
Ing OF the Law.

In conformity with the provisions of
law the three political parties Of this
county held their county conventions
here Tuesday. the Republicans and
Progressives holding their meetings
during the afternoon and the Demo-
Gratis in the evening.
The Republican convention was
called to order promptly at three
O'Clock in the Auditorium by Chair
man W. w. Beckstead. The attend
ance, while not as great as was ex-
pected, was fairly representative. All
felt the urgent necessity for sending
men to the state platform convention
who would be instrumental in drafting
a platform that will be in keeping with
the times, one that will enable all
Republicans who believe in the prin-
ciples of protection for American in
dustries to support the Republican
ticket Loyalty in the fall campaign.
The platform, it was felt, should be
progressive enough to meet the ap-
proval of all who have the interests
of the state and nation at heart, yet
not too radical in its tendencies.
The question as to the number of
delegates the county is entitled to
came up. The law provides that
each county shall be entitled to
representation in the platform con-
lvention on a basis of three times the
number of its state representatives., and
under that provision Power county
would be entitled to only three dele
gates, but as a number of the other
counties are including the state sen
ators in their calculations, it was
deemed best to follow that plan, so
six delegates we're elected. A resolu-
ltion was adopted to the effect that
lin case only three can be seated, the
first three delegates named should
be recognized as the authorized rep
resentatives of this county in the con-
vention. The following we're elected:
D. W. Davis. Clyde Hanson, s. L. Baird,
X. d. HOutz. ]. Sorenson, H. c. Allen.
AIternates were chosen as follows: j.
IT. Fisher, R. B. Greenwood, Paul
Bulfinch, Frank Lowry, L. B. Evans.
j. E. Martens.
The convention of the Progressive
party was held at about the same time
as was that of the Republicans. and
like the Republicans, that party named
six delegates. it being their under
standing that it made little difference
as to the number of men elected. II
the county is entitled to three votes
that strength may be voted by one del
egate or by six, and that is all that can
be voted. Three of the delegates of
the Progressive party are as follows:
Henry Rock, o. c. Hall and W. o.
Lloyd.
The Democrats held their conven-
ton Tuesday vening and elected three
delegates: S. H. Laird, L. l. Evans,
Jr., and W. B. Jacobs. The Democrats
had a good turnout and their meeting
lasted for several hours. so it is pre-
sumed that they took up matters other
than the election OF delegates.
The state platform convention will
be held in Boise Tuesday, June so
and within twenty-four hours Of noon
of that day. the platforms Of the var
ious parties must be filed with the sec
retary of state.

Only a Living.
Political Adv

I'VE are only making a living on
the farm complained a friend not
long ago. We happen to know that it
is a good living that the home is o
roomy, comfortable sort of place, that
there is a sleeping porch, a fireplace,
bathroom, a sunny dining room. He
has COWS, fowls, horses. carriages and
a garden. Besides, certain improve
ments and soil ameliorations that he
has undertaken will some day yield
him far more of the fruits of the
earth than he is now receiving.
Leaving this friend and his farm
we took a journey and awoke to look
out at manufacturing city. Closely
set were the tall houses, dusty, smok-
ed. between them hot and dirty
streets. In such environment lies a
great proportion of Americas people;
fewer than the half of US dwell on
farms; the rest in cities.
A living? Seeing men emerging
from these moke-begrinmed homes.
dinner pals in hand, we remember
our friends on farms. They arise
and 90 forth in the freshness of the
dewy morning, the air is clean, the
birds are all about them, the sun
shines, the fresh breezes blow. Theirs
is no such toll as that of shop or Of
fee. A living? Commend us to
the living that goes with the peace
full ields.-Breeder' Gazette.

Though happily few lives were lost
fine old Salem, pride of Massachu-

best originals of that Colonial archi-
lecture upon whose simple dignity and

The museums, with their valuab,
