The enabling act for the creation
of Gem county received the approval
of Governor Alexander Friday after
noon. The bill was signed at o'clock
and was one of the last measures
enacted by the legislature to be signed,
the time limit for all bills expiring at
10:30 that night. The news, which
had been anxiously awaited all day,
relieved the strain that the advocates
of the measure had been under since
its passage, and the pent-up enthu-
siasm burst forth like volcanic erup-
tion. The streets were soon filled with
noisy throng. Fireworks that had
been left over from last Fourth of
July were dug from their hiding
places by store keepers and set off.
At night, when the faithful old guard
John McNish, Charlie Gamage ana
Ed arrived from Boise in Ellen
Aliens car, Main street was jammed
from curb to Grub and bedlam was
turned loose. The band played, red
light blazed from front of store build
ings, fireworks popped and whizzed
hither and yon, guns and anvils split
the atmosphere with their volleys,
and the name of the new county was
shot forth from hundreds of lusty /
lungs. The "old guard" was given
an enthusia site recention and eonOrat
ulations were showed upon them for
the victory that had been the reward
of their mastery, faithful and per-
sistent campaign. Nor were Senator
Hayes, the father of the bill, and Rep
resentative ]. W. Tyler, its godfather,
and they shared with the
committee the honor and glory of the
victory.

Not bad name, for the germ will
grow and increase in population,
wealth and influence until it becomes
the richest and most prosperous coun-
ty in the state. It's resources are
varied and in their infancy, its people
are intelligent and progressive. Those
who have been its staunch advocates
in its creation are determined to con-
tinue their activities and influence in
keeping the expenses down to the min
imum so that the burden of taxation
shall be easy. The experience of other
small counties has been that their tax
rate is lower than in the larger county.

TWO WAYS OF
DOING MARKETING

In New York, as in the cities all
over the American continent, there
are today thousands of housewives,
who are doing their marketing. But
many of them are doing it in kimono
and lace frilled boudoir cap, with no
more exertion than taking down
telephone receiver, writes Mabel Pot
ter Daggett in the Pictorial Review.
What is the price per pound of the
lamb chops that Madame Manhattan
is ordering? Really, she has never
troubled to inquire Does she know
that there is shortage in peas today
that has made them jump in price?
And that peaches this month are cost
ing twice as much as they will next.
These are details in domestic econ
omy that she has very very likely
wholly missed. A voice at the other
end of the wire "sends them over"
and Charges it." Presently there is
the butchers boy and the bakers boy
and the grocer's boy calling up the
dumb waiter shaft, and a succession
of packages has arrived on the kitch-
en- table. The marketing for the day
is done-until the maid remarks that
she forgot, but the breakfast bacon
is out"
"Oh, we'll just call up" A little
later she remembers that eve need
soap"
"Oh, well, call up And perhaps
afterwards she comes in to say that
"The cake isn't going round for des-
sert." In the course of time, there
will be the butchers boy and the
bakers boy and the grocer's boy all
coming whistling down the street
again. And they don't come for moth
ing. That, too, gets charged in the
bill. Though madame never, never
heard such thing.
For every dollar expended by the
American housewife on food for the
home table, twenty-five cents goes to
pay for transportation. Seven hun
dred million dollars worth of food
stuffs are consumed annually in New
York City, and that means a cost of
one hundred and seventy-five million
dollars for transportation. All of it
isn't for railroad freight. Some of it
is for the grocery wagon that is al
ways running up and down the street
every time housewife happens to
think Of something else.
