At the wednesday luncheon of the
Commercial club 1t was conclusively de-
cided that Grangeville should put on
the Border Day" program this fall
with the probable addition of a har-
vest festival and baby show at the
same time The matter was discuss
ed pro and con and was finally dis
posed of by the appointment OF the
following special committee: Frank Nc
Crane, Joe b. Snyder, c. A. Branscombe
T. e. Edmundson and ]. Frank Sims.
This committee was given the power
to select ub-committeemen from any
section of the county that they might
desire, and If they deem it expedient
they are empowered to engage the
services of a manager who will devote
his entire time to the work. While
the dates for the show have not been
finally selected 1t is known that the
latter part Of September and possibly
the first of October will be chosen 1t
Is the intention of the committee to
spare no effort in an attempt to make
this years show compare favorably II
not place In the shade all former ex-
hibitions.
There is no doubt that the feature
of a harvest festival II placed in the
hands of the proper committee could

Senator Borah Making Northern Tour Motors Mines View.

Visits Grangevlle Tuesday.

Possibly one of the best and most
enthusiastic informal political meetings
ever held in our little city occurred
Last Tuesday evening in the parlors
of the Imperial hotel, when Senator
w. l.. Borah, who is not only the
leading political figure in his home
state of Idaho but who is looming up
as one of the largest figures in ma
tional affairs at this time, arrived by
auto from Lewiston and spent the night
in the Idaho county capital The gath
ering was presided over by State Chair
man Evan Evans. The notice of the
senator's coming was so short that
word could not be gotten to all, but
the representation at the meeting was
fine and the spirit and enthusiasm
was all that could be desired.
The senator, who has been touring
the north part of the state in lei
surely manner. looking over the stu
alton and visiting with his hosts of
friends in the principal towns, brought
very encouraging reports of the pres
ent feeling among the party member
ship as well as among some of the
leading members of the other parties.
All feel that the selection of Mr.. Evans
as state chairman is a positive guar
antee of new and better deal for the
public and the party, and this feeling
| is growing and spreading daily in a
most surprising manner.
| The senator's informal talk to the
meeting was an inspiration to all and
left the hearers in a most excellent
state of mind. Mr.. Borah has a most
direct and convincing way of differing
with any expressed idea or view, and
yet he seldom offends the one with
whom he takes issue. He has the
reputation in the senate of being able
to do the most scientific job of skin
ming of any man in congress and yet
he almost invariably comes out of the
debate retaining not only the respect
but the friendship of his opponent.
During his trip throughout the north
Senator Borah has been interviewed a
number of times. and on one of those
occasions he gave out the following
patriotic and truly American sentiments
which will certainly commend them
selves to all unbiased readers. and
are worthy of careful reading and con-
sideration:

est natural born soldier this country

COMPLAINS OF MAIL
 SERVICE TO INTERIOR

The beauties of our mail service are eXemplfied in the fact that while it is possible to receive foreign news papers and other literature from a great distance, it seems out of the question to expect newspapers and periodicals from Seattle and other Pacific coast cities. Large quantities of advertising matter, such as de- partment store catalogues, clutter up the mails, and yet newspaper mail of several months apparently is al lowed to pile up at Seward. In this connection it might be suggested that the Seattle Chamber of Commerce en- deavor to ascertain the course of req soning that justifies the delivery of London and New York newspapers in interior Alaska from six weeks to two months earlier than those from Tacoma and Seattle Also it would be interesting to know why it should be necessary to deliver car loads of outside advertising matter by means of the winter mail service. It would seem that this class of mail could very we'll be left to be trans ported by means of the summer boat service, thereby making possible the delivery of more important matter.- Iditarod Mail.
