The Equitable Life Insurance Co.

companies in the world, of which A.

IS agent, have announced that on July

by means of which all their policy
holders Of three or more years stand
ing will be given free medical exani-
nations by the company's physicians.
They plan on paying their physicians
a salary in all localities where they
are getting a good volume of business
with the understanding that their
physicians will thoroughly examine
any policy holder who is entitled to
these benefits, free. This will be of
great benefit to many policy holders
for during these periodical examina
tons the doctor may discover some
ailment in a mild form, which il
treated at once is easily cured. 1t
will decrease the death rate for the
company and be we'll worth their
while. All up to date life insurance

Conference on Location
of NelU State HiehuOay
viii be Held March 80

Secretary of State w. L. Clifford,
who is also secretary of the state
highway commission, has issued no
tice to the various commercial bodies
of the three counties of Canyon, Ada
and Elmore, asking them to be repre-
sented at the conference of the COM
mission on March 80, when definite
location of the east and west highway
through these counties will be made
by the commission.
The question of location is one OF
considerable importance to many OF
the good roads advocates in the three
counties and as there is some rivalry
over respective routes it is probable
that the commission will have an in
teresting session. The commission is
definitely fixing highways for the state
system of good roads as rapidly as
possible so that there will be no fur

SIASTIC MEETING

Plans were perfected Tuesday even

ly of the followers of the C. o. P. in
this city April Is. The meeting will
be held in the K. P. hall and from the
interest and enthusiasm manifested in
the initial meeting leading members
of the party predict a record breaking
attendance. The Tuesday meeting
was called informally and with but
Jews hours notice, and there was op-
portunity to notify but few of the Re-
publcanS, yet the attendance was
large, including representatives from
Nampa, Parma, Payette, Middleton,
and other precincts.
Plans for the coming campaign
we're informally discussed and as a
result it is probable that RepubI-
can club will be organized in every
precinct in the county. Other than
deciding to call meeting of the par
ty April IS, no definite action was
taken Tuesday.

was read in behalf of the city of Boise
from Edwin Harrington, acting
mayor.
Even Indians in Line.
The features of the opening cere-
monies were an expression of SYM
pathy and an offer of cooperation
from David Mcfarland, full blood
Nez Perez Indian, in behalf of his
red-skinned brethren, and a chorus OF
% younsters, the classes of Miss Neal,
Miss White and Miss Brown, in the
Emmanuel Sunday school. The church
was filled, registration showing loo
delegates from outside the city Al
from Boise.
The special train chartered from
Veiser to Boise for the convention
reached the city at 10 o'clock.
The convention was successful il
every respect and all left with an en-
thusiastic belief that the slogan Ida
no Dry in 1915" will become an &C
tuality.
