aBAcK TO THE FARM" DISCOURAGED.

q TANLEY BASIN. Idaho is typical Of numerous pio-
- settlements in the West whioh( in the ag-
gregate much 10 the growth the entire

this they handicapped Says the Wood River.
Idaho Times
There had always been mail service between STAN
ley Basin and Wood River since the early days. But
last year the paramonious Postmaster General. un-
willing pay the $1,000 per annum asked for the
vice discontinued it, The settlers hope to have the
service restored"
Urged by that truly American spirit of homebud-
ing and encouraged by Government that offered free
homes to settlers those people left the comforts of the
ihoky settled section Of the East and went into
the unproducve regions of faroh Idaho to live in rude
shacks until the product Of toll and privation enabled
them to build houses that might properly be called
homes They up the joys Of personal communica-
ton with relatives friends. They went far from
Libraries and schools and churches and undertook, in
the land of sagebrush and coyote TO establish
munes of industrious citizens in which should ulti-
mately be founded libraries. schools and ne
churches
But in thus going upon the frontier they reposed
confidence in the maintenance Of those branches Of
government service which tighten the burden Of the
home builder and bring some measure Of cheer to
those cut off from the outside world They we're en-
titled to believe that mail service would be continued
that each week they would receive letters, news
papers and magazines TO make their secluded lives
more endurable.
Stanley Basin in Idaho, has learned by experience.
There Is a multitude Of Stanley Basins all through
that section the United States lying west of the
Mississippi river The people of those remote settle
ments have friends and relatives in the old communi-
ties Of the East Each and all Of them from motives
self interest well from desire to promote the
welfare should raise voice of protest against
dscontlnuance of mail service in those parts of the
country where II is desired that homes shall be
duotive The policy pursued by this adminstra-
ton cannot do otherwise than drive the homeseader

j. A. CzIzEK, IDAHO COMMISSION
Err AT SAN FRANCISCO FAIR
MAKES INTERESTING STATE
MENT OF IDAHo'S PAR
TICIPATIoN.

Sundays Capital News contained
statement of j. A. Czizek, Idaho Exc
cutive Commissioner at the exposition
recently closed in San Francisco, in
which that gentleman submits state
ment of the results of Idaho s partici-
patton in the great fair and the bene-
fits of the same. The report is of in
trest to every citizen and is in part as
follows:
"Idaho's participation in the Pana-
maPaeific International exposition,
which was so graciously solicited by the
good people of California, was brought
about by the state s desire to take it's
rightful position among its sister states
OF the Pacific slope and to identify it
self with the common interest of the
entire coast. Imbued with this purpose
and out of respect for the wishes of
California, the legislature, with true
Idaho spirit, made handsome and ella
borate provisions for the occasion with
an appropriation of 100000.
'Due to this generosity on the part
of the legislature, the state has had an
exceptional opportunity to ingratiate
itself in the good will of the people of
California who will each succeeding
year must be looked to more and more
to father the development of Idaho
and other interior states. And herein,
it seems to me, lies the greatest advan-
tage to be derived from this oppor-
tune occasion, namely, the closer affill-
alton and association of the desires and
interest of the people OF Idaho with
those of the great state of California,
which at no distant date is destined to
become the financial and distributing
center for the entire coast.
Interested in Idaho Possibilities.

I was given an opportunity to talk
freely with many of the financial and

Exercises to Be Held at Opera House
ON Christmas Eve.

The committee on arrangements for
the municipal Christmas tree report
that everything is practically arranged
for the exercises to be held at the
opera house on Chrismtas eve. The
program for the evening has been ar
ranged and III. R. Hiibourne has been
working diligently on the musical pro-
gram and practice will continue all
of next week. He has been working
under difficulties however as sickness
has caused many absences among those
who were depended upon for assistance
in the musical numbers. The success of
the affair depends upon hearty CO.
operation on the part of every citizen
of the community. Plan to assist in

The fourth regular meeting of tn,
school board of Grangeville Indepen-
dent District No. was neld at the

members present were Fulton, Urbahn,
Cole, Sims and Parsons. Kecies was
absent. After the reading of the
minutes of the previous meeting and
the approval of the same, the clerks
report for the month ending December
3rd, was read and approved. Bills to
the amount of $710.97 were approved
by the finance committee and war

@. r. Krakau came before the board,
with the bill for scenery, which had
been installed in the new building and
at cost of $500 all of which amount
had been paid by the Federated Lady IS
society and the student body, except
ing the balance of $195.05 for which
Mr.. Krakau asked that the board take
. action to relieve him rom carrying lon

that warrant be drawn to cover the
indebtedness. The motion carried, all

mid winter holiday vacation was then
taken up and discussed at length.

1t was the sense of the board, that
under normal conditions, one week of
vacation would have been sufficient
time to devote to recreation of students
and faculty, but as at this time there
exists an epidemic of IA grippe in the
country, and many schools at other
places are seeming to have greater diff

Requirements and Needs.

Last week, Dr. f. O. Sisson, State

the fact that the various meetings in
the city where he was in attendance
were not completed before the Free
Press went to press, the details were
not given in last week s issue and were
laid over for this week.
The purposes and intent of the visit
of the head of the educational end of
the State of Idaho are very readily
found in his addresses before the trus-
tees of school districts of Idaho county
on Wednesday evening. In explaining
the purpose of his work and of his of
ficial duties, he stated that he is en-
deavoring to get in touch with the edu-
cational conditions in every section of
the state, and for this purpose is visit
ing every section of the state, meeting
those connected with educational insti.

needs of every community to better en-,
able him to afford relief where it is
needed.

space of time interposing in waiting
for direct legislative action. And il
this regard he suggests that the stat,
