in Boise and Caldwell.

land, England, October 10, 1874. His
family moved to Kingston, Ontario,
when he was ten years old. In 1857
they came to the United States. When
he came to Idaho in 1875, he was a

er he went to Reynolds creek

ding gift took them to Oregon and
sold them for a good price, bought
sheep and trailed his first band INTO

1906 he moved to Boise and took an
important place in commercial and
industrial affairs. His principal hold
ings are in Cayon, Ada and Owyhee
counties. 1t is estimated that he
leaves a fortune of more than ST.
100000.

organizations perfect a machine to
fight for the rights and in the inter-
est Of the whole Northwest, then there
will be new plans to work out, new
lines of offense and defense to es-
tablish and the need of men with some
training will be paramount
The larger the training and the
greater knowledge of conditions and
requirements the sooner will this
vast empire come into it's own, and the
older states made to feel that our
rights must be respected, and our pos
sibilities more thoroughly understood.
Every man owes certain amount OF
time, money and energy to the COM
munity in which he lives, where he
enjoys the benefits of civilization, and
in which he builds his personal for
tune, and not alone does the common
wealth benefit from his efforts and
sacrifices, but he himself broadens
and gets more enjoyment out of life,
feeling that he is not living to himself
alone This feeling is present to a
more or less extent in all men, and
the earlier in life that it is fostered
and that this energy is organized and
exnanded in a definite way and to a
definite end, the greater the benefits
to both individual and state.
1t is indeed fortunate that various
minds run in different channels, and
the desire to assist in the general up
lift, present in each man who is start
ing in active business life, wishes to
manifest itself in various ways, and
that organization that attempts to as
sist in everything from adjusting
and equalizing freight rates to i'm
provements of seed corn from en-
couraging manufacturing enterprises
to destruction of flies; from the i'm
proving of roads to the marketing OF
potatoes; from the securing of water
to irrigate vast tracts of land to the
providing of hitching posts in the city;
from lettering the moral status of So
ciety to the securing of street carni-
walls for the amusement of the citi-

Gems; surely, say that In an organ
isation that attempts to cover 20 vast
field Of improvement and betterment,
there IL an opportunity to make use OF
the assistance of every man who Will
lend a helping hand, and 1t Is my be-
lief that there are vast number OF
young business men and clerks who
are 4 eady and willing to work il they
can be gotten started and their work
organized and systematized.
A large amount of benefit is lost to
the state because the latent possibili-
ties in many are mot recognized ana
developed until late in life.
l believe in great future for the
state of Idaho. Her great possibilities
are just beginning to be developed;
her vast natural resources in mineral,
timber and power, her fertile soil, and
abundant water and her splendid CHI
mate are sufficient to insure her final
supremacy. But the greatest asset
she has is her splendid citizenship,
and If there is one thing more than
another that argues for the early So
luton of many problems that have re-
tarded her development, it is just such
meetings as this, where the expert
ences, tn successes and failures of the
individual clubs over the state can be
discussed and the needs better under
stood, and where uniform action may
be initiated.
believe that the final results of this
organization of the Commercial clubs
of the state will result in a working
machine that will accomplish ends, the
fvNnr, AZ IS y, .ol, f., 1o
conceived, as was the modern transat-
lantic palace in the mind of Fulton
when he floated his first steamboat
on the Hudson river.
Once you get the thinking men Of
this state working for the good of the
state as whole, and exchange ideas
in meetings like this, success is as in
evitable as the wireless telegraph was
sure to follow the discovery of cleo
tricity. 1t is not possible for one mind
to conceive of or formulate the plan.
II results are to be accomplished they
will come from the assembling of the
ideas of many. The thing of first inn
| pOrtance to insure success of state
organization, just as it does local
commercial club, is to associate as
many men as possible among whom
there is no jealousy and no strife for
preferment, but among whom there is
a feeling Of good fellowship and a
desire to do their share and to work
for the common good.
Gentlemen, | congratulate you on
your organization, ! congratulate the
various Commercial clubs which you
represent, and congratulate the state
that you have started this important
work.

four BULL MEN INJURED
Car Runs Off Bridge Going at High
Speed ON Way to Bull.

While going at fast rate of
speed, the car containing Harry
Hanks, Roy Ballou, ]. Masters and
Frank George ran off the bridge
crossing the lateral near the Kunze
cheese factory and was hurled in the
ditch with terrific force, severely in
juring each occupant
The party was returning to Bull
with the men that they might vote,
and as the time was drawing near for
the closing of the polls, Ballou. who
was driving, was going at high rate
of speed when the accident happened.
Hanks sustained bad cut on the
head and number of painful bruises,
but no broken bones BallOu re-
reived a cash on the head Masters
is suffering from badly wrenched
back and wound on his head
George received a fractured collar
bone and arm besides numerous other
injuries.

accident was driving his car about a
half mile away and heard the crash
as the car left the bridge, hurriedly
reached the scene and picked UP the
injured men and brought them to the
city where they were given all aid
possible by the local physicians. At
the time we go to press, each one is
recovering nicely.
The road at the point where it cross
es the bridge and where the accident
happened makes an S-like turn, which
can be made only by slowing to low
speed while crossing. The driver, 1t
seems, in his anxiety to reach the
polls had forgotten this particular
place.
The automobile belonged to Cloyd
Oliver, and experienced the catastro-
phe without as much damage as would
have been expected.-Buhl Herald.

Business Interests Pressing
| The resignation of Judge Standrod
will not come as surprise to those
familiar with the conditions under
| which he accepted the appointment to

Owing to the pressure of his banking
interests, Judge Stamdrod found it in
convenient to accept the appointment
when it was rendered to him. much to
his surprise. He finally consented to
accept the commissionership with the
understanding that he would be re-
lieved as soon as possible, the relief
coming 1t was tentatively understood
