WORK TO BEGIN ON
CLAY COUNTY RAILROAD.

The injunction against the county
commissioners Of Clay county taken
Out by W. T. Bumgarner and others,
came on for a hearing before his Hon.
Judge Frank Carter last week at MUIR
ply on a motion by the defendants to
have the restraining order dissolved.
After reading the afidavits. Judgs
Carter suspended the hearing to give
on opportunity for the Valleytown
subscription to be made.
The representatives of Valleytown
township, Messrs. w. P. Walker. DR..
Fl. N. Wells and N. H. Abernathy
t%hereupon met, and made a ~subscrip-
ton of $4,000, for the present and
agreed to subscribe the remainder
when necessary, and when this sub
scription was shown to Judge Garter
(the Clay subscription having al
ready been signed up0 he dissolved
the injunction and told the Railway
company to get busy and build the
road.
1t had been objected that $15O,O0o
was not enough to lay the steel, but
the Judge remarked that with this
amount to start on, it would be rh
trouble to get enough more, if needed
to finish the road.

Letters From the People
Reply ON Exposition Exhibit.

Evening Capital News: Allow me to
correct a mis-statement in the report
of a meeting of the county commits
sioners appearing in the Statesman of
Sunday morning.
1t is there said: "The grain growers
appeared to be opening the move. j.
G. Petrie appeared to be the spoS esman
for this class of growers" This is al
together wrong. never mentioned
grain or grain growers in my remarks
and Max Mayfleld Opened the move"
Now for a little history A meeting
of fruit growers and dairy1nen was
called by card (sent to perhaps 800
farmers) to meet at the Boise Com
rnercial club on Aug. 30, 1914, to con-
slider ways and means for collecting
and maintaining an exhibit for the
Panama Pacific exposition.
In that meeting / objected to the
method of calling the meeting and said
it was a meeting of special interests;
that the tax payers of the city ought
to have been invited as we'll as fruit
growers and dairymen, since it was
money contributed by the general tax
payers and not merely by fruit growers
and dairymen that was to be asked
for The vote went 10 for and two
against requesting an appropriation. A
committee was appointed to nsl1 the
commissioners for $4,000. THIS request
the commissioners were not prepared
to grant at the request of such a
meeting and wanted a meeting more
representative of the tax payers.
Although it is said the call appeared
in both the Capital News and the
Statesman, 1 have seen only one man
who said he saw it in the Statesman.
One member OF the Capital News office
staff has informed me he knew moth
ing of the meeting and did not think
there was any notice in that paper-at
least he did not see 1t.
My plea was not made on behalf
of grain growers, but on behalf of the
tax payers of the county, and more
particularly on behalf of owners OF
small acreage near the city, whose
property is very highly valued.
Under our present high taxes it is
useless to expect an increase of popu-
lation through the San Francisco ex-
hibit. People are leaving the state
(witness the empty houses in Boise
and many more would leave IL they
could dispose of their property.
Probably the big growers would be
benefited by the exhibit through buy
ers attending the exposition.
l contend that the acreage and city
property held by the small tax payers
of the county far exceed the holdings
of the rs tax payers representing

@NE morning not long ago / threw
Aht down my pencil in despair. The
III Ill thoughts which ! was trying to
INE catch and imprison on paper
refused to be coaxed out of
their hiding places in the very back of
my brain. The words, too, eluded me.
and irrelevant thoughts that l did not
want to entertain at just that Time,
came crowding in upon me.
There is nothing so discouraging in

words elude you, and you can't keep

Whereupon l threw down my pencil
and wandered disconsolately out on the
veranda and across the street to seek
comfort from the Lady who always

The Lady who always knows some

with this dress I'm trying to make

right where it Grapes. I do think there
is no work in the world so discourag-
ing as trying to make over things
Just then a telephone call demanded
the lady's attention and she threw
down the dress just as I had thrown
down my pencil. While she was at the
telephone Ellen, mistress of the kitch-
en- regions, appeared with worried
look on her face and not seeing her

The Garden Toad
COMMON every day toad lived

A COMMON every day toad lived
"A in back yard garden
IA The garden was large and as
he was the only toad who lived there
he had plenty TO eat without working
very hard.
One day as he was lazily doing
under some wide spreading leaves, a
grasshopper came along and saw him.
Good morning, Mr.. Toad" said tho
hopper cheerfully, what are you do
ing today? j,
"Oh, nothing much" said the toad
sleepily, Il don't work much, you sec,
for am king. here and so can have
plenty to eat all the time"
rs that So" replied the grasshopper.
then maybe that's the reason you are
so fat
I'm not fat" retorted the toad, you
mustn't talk to me that way"
"Oh, all right" laughed the grass
hopper, and with zip and whirr he
was gone and the toad shut his eyes,
ready to sleep again.
But some way he couldn't sleep-he
kept thinking of what the grasshopper
said about his being fat.
1.-THE very idea of calling me fat,
he thought as he hoped around under
another leaf where the grass was bet
ter to lie upon.
Just then he heard two sparrows
chattering behind him.
Heres fine worm" said one.
Lets get it quick before the toad
wakes up"
1.-The toad" exclaimed the first,
"hell not wake up for long time
he is so fat and sleepy he don't even
tend 10 his garden as he should've
just eats and sleeps all the dayP
Funny" exclaimed the toad to him
self as the sparrows few away. u
don't think I'm fat"
He sat there for some time wink
ing and blinking and wondering how
he could find out if he was fat.
Finally he heard some robins talk
ing. He looked and saw them sputter-
ing and splaslling in puddle of water
left by the garden hose.
Immediately an idea occurred to hin
--he would look in the water and ser
if he really and truly was fat, as hi
was thought to be.

Then he hoped up slowly and care
fully to the waters edge--looking
sheepishly around all the while to sea
if any one noticed his vanity.
No, he was alone.
When he was clear up to the water.
he looked and saw-not dainty little
green creature such as he was when
he last saw himsclf-but great, fat,
blotchy toad. SO big and puffed up the
water could hardly show his whois
picture!
"Oh, DEAR" he sighed. IT guess they
were right-now I'll have to begin to
exercise"
And sure enough Now the toad
hops all day and he hops all evening
and he hops and he hops all the time
so he won't get fat.
But the poor old fellow is fat any
way only the sun has dried up the
water and he can't see himself.
So-not knowing-he is tired and
happy-and fat.
