When Spot Played Cupid.

I was acquainted with a sweet

her occasionally for about two years.
Among her late husbands posses

of you as l am. Ask him would he
like to own you himself. But he must

BORAh FOR PART LEADER
Senator Dubois Declares Name OF Ida
no Senator Linked With Presidency

United States Senator William f.
Borah is looked upon, is being seri-
ously considered and in fact is claimed
to be the most logical presidential tim
Der in the Republican party for 1916.
This in brief represents the belief of
ex-United States Senator Fred T. Du-
bois, OF Blackfoot, who is in Boise to-
day accompanied by c. F. Caruse, a
Washington, d. c.. attorney of promi
nence. They will remain in the city
several days meeting many of Mr.. Du-
bois' friends and acquaintance. Lat
er they leave for Portland, San Fran
cisco, San Diego, Los Angeles and
l|other Oregon and California cities
where they will remain for some time
! They expect to take In both exposi-
tons, following which they leave for
Washington. This is the first trip of
Mr.. Caruse to the west.
| 1t is indeed true that Senator Borah
! is looked upon in the east as the most
available timber for the presidency
within the Republican party said
Former Senator Dubois. Let me say
right here. however, that Senator Bo-
rah is not candidate, has never been
a candidate and today considers that
all of the talk about him as presiden-
tial timber is needless and without the
slightest foundation. He is not letting
the talk that is going the rounds in
Washington and eastern circles among
the leading men of the country inter-
fere at all with his present work. Nor
is he inclined to allow what is being
said with reference to him turn his
head.
Il am inclined to the belief, how
ever, from my own observations at
Washington and in the east that Sen
'tor Borah, if he keeps up his favor
. able record, will be. or every effort
will be made to bring him out as the Re-
publican candidate for president Of the
United States. And I am talking seri-
ously when make this statement. ]
will add that he is looked upon by men
of his own party as the most logical
candidate. They believe that if he is
nominated he will poll a large vote
including large Progressive vote.
Il am member of the press club Of
Washington and often visit there while
in the national capital. I find thai
when the matter of the Republican
candidate is discussed the name O.
Senator Borah is always linked mos
prominently with it. The newspaper
men there and the correspondents are
all for Senator Borah. They believe
also that he is the logical candidate
Many of the leading magazines hav,
( already come out strongly urging hin

THE argument heard out here in tn
west that a candidate for the presi
dency can not come from this section

CONTACT LANDS PLANT
Material for 100000 Teaching Plant
Contracted for.


Contact is happy. 1t has waited
many long years, way up in the hills
thirty miles south of Rogerson, for
some one to pay it some attention.
Many capitalists have looked over the
camp and expressed themselves as
favorably impressed, but the obstacle
of very poor transportation facilities
has been too great
With the development of new pro-
cess of extracting the copper ore,
known as the teaching electric pro-
cess, great things have been predicted
for that patient camp And great
| things have come.
Lumber is reported to have been
purchased by Butte and Seattle capt.
talists for the construction of $780,
900 plant; electricity will be brought
from the Snake river and motor trucks
will carry the pure ore out of the
camp to Rogerson, Idaho, for ship
ment.
c. F. Sherman, who installed the
teaching plant at Butte, has been re-
tanned by the promoters to have
charge of the plant at Contact. Mr..
Sherman has already contracted for
the erection of modern home at Con-
tact which will be the first in the
camp, and will have the distinguished
honor of being the first of the many
modern homes which the success of
that camp will make possible in the
near future.

ness, as indeed, they are bound to
share in the new prosperity which
this enterprise will bring for all in
