| SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1O.-The
Idaho building for the past week was
the scene of what might be called
a meeting of the former pastors of
the Boise churches. Reverend George
| w. Grannis, well-known among the
Old-timers of Boise. as a Methodist
minister came in as did Reverend
being the present pastor of the First
Methodist church of Boise, and num-
ber of others. Reverend Charles
Chalfant the present pastor of the
Presbyterian church beamed upon us
for awhile. He Expressed himself
as delighted with the Idaho building
and its appurtenances, and with the
Idaho exhibits, and spoke in the most
complimentary terms of the success
of the Idaho features at the fair. Mr..
Chalfant attracted no little newspa-
per attention by his address at the
Fourteenth International Lords Day
congress held in Oakland What par
resentatives was Dr. Chalfants ref
erence to the automobile as an aid
in church attendance. He, said that
while it dissipated church attendance
in the city it aided very much the at

Grand Dalton now is the pastor of
where he is doing extremely we'll and
is very popular. The Reverend j. r.
Clark, formerly at HALEY but now at
Delano, is an exposition visitor and
is accompanied by his wife. Mr.. Clark
spent some time in a critical exami-
nation of the Idaho horticultural and |,

them among the very best, if not the
best. that he had seen anywhere on

it might be mentioned that new ship |

different parts of the state and are
adding very much to the beauty and
success of the Idaho exhibits
Mr.. L. A. Bunk, in charge of the
exhibit, reports increased |
interest in the exposition. He says
that on an average seven thousand
people pass through the Idaho space
and view the exhibits each day. On

rom morning till night. There are I
Johnathan apples in fine form on ex-
