pause and reflect before making any

Lieut.. Hal Shadduck, we think that
business Is booming and that the mad
rush for the elusive nickel has chain
ed the attention Of one OF the most
popular officers in the state However
bloated bondholder he may become,
we know he will still be one of US.
The latest reports from Captain G.
H. van de Steeg are to the effect that
Miss van de Steeg does not as yet
cOndescend to hold converse with
him, but her vocal chords are all
right. Having been through the mill,
we have no feeling OF sympathy for
him.
Captain H. NJ Jones, Company F,
Lewiston, writes that the new rifle |
range will soon be completed and that |
Company F will be in the shoot until |
the last. He requests US to notify |
other aspiring company commanders |
that all members of the company con-
slider the prize as good as won; that |
he regrets that there is but one first |
prize, but such being the case, he con-
siders that this ~ighuully belongs to
Company F.
General l.. v. Patch, so rumor hath
1t, was in town recently If he called,
1t was during the absence of the edi-
torial, reportorial and all other staffs
Stay longer next time, general
Our worthy chaplain, amongst other
members of the ministry of Boise, was
engaged in the construction of pub
lie tabernacle a short time ago, when
some mischieyously inclined person
succeeded in persuading the city au-
thorities to stop the work as it did not
comply with the fire ordinance. We
have thoroughly investigated this mat
ter and though no publication of this
investigation will be made, we init
mate that our chaplain was tired of
work.
| It is reported, on reliable authority,
that Captain Alvey and Lieut.. Crouch
of the medical corps, lately engaged in
shooting match on the rifle range.
Scores are not available as it appears
that each man kept his own score and
destroyed all records after each shot
We have rumor from a unconfirm-
ed source that certain major of the
National Guard of Idaho, whose home
station is Payette, has lately accepted
another recruit. Under no circum-
stances will we divulge this officers
name and naturally, we hesitate to
publicly extend our congratulations.
Secrecy In military matters, is neces-
sary but National Preparedness is
everywhere recognized as fit subject
for breaking into print. Pending a
complete report we will take no fur
Their action.
Our chief, accompan-
led by Colonel Joel Priest of his per-
sonal staff and General P. H. Grow,
and Major Woodson Jeffreys of the
adjutant generals department attend
ed the exposition at San Francisco
and participated in the exercises on
Idaho day, September 29th. They re-
, port pleasant trip. The major says
that San Francisco Is some city.
From reports received, 1t appears
that practically all the companies arc
hard at work on the range, each pos.
sessed with apparent determination tt
win the prize. 1t Is reported that al
. companies have an equal chance a.
, present as they are all pretty wei
, punched. It is hoped that 1t Is no
: the prize alone that has aroused THU
! interest but that the members of eacl
company are imbued with the idea 0
: placing us at the top. There Is plen
! ty Of room up there for us and earnes
work will at least advance US to within
sight of our goal.
: The Bulletin announces, with re
8 greet that Company X, OF Idaho Falls
