Il he Weeks News From
Salmon River Country
FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

Few days with a view to purchasin,
horses. During his stay here Mr.. Cow
ley did not succeed is procuring a singh
animal for the market and returned t,
BOISE this morning. While in town Mr.
Cowley received word from his firm
that there was congestion of horses il
the east owing to the fact that tn,
herman submarine warfare agains
merchant ships had effectually block
Ell transportation. There is no basi.
for the belief said Mr.. Cowley, "that
shortage of freight cars has put the
horse market temporarily ON the bum.
Several mushroom printing estab
llshments have sprung up here in tbs
past, but like "Jonah s gourd" van
ished almost in single night. Finan
cially local paper has done well here
but strife, contention and bitter an
nimosities have sometimes been engen
dered by local journalists, and just now
local newspaper could not succeed
1T has been proposed therefore, by l.
A. Wisener and others, that the idaho
County Free Press devote page of its
valuable space to Salmon river news
items and business advertisements
This is indeed a capital suggestion, and
has met with general appreciation from
the whole community. The Tfec Press
already has circulation of several hun
dred in this end of the county, and to
build up general circulation the Free
Press will for the next sixty days go
into practically every home in the liver
country.
That the American newspaper is in
dispensible to the social, political, edu-
cational and economic welfare of the
American people is a fact too abvious
for successful REPUTATION. Dispense
with the American newspaper and you
destroy the most effectual instrument
tality of a great civilized people for
spiritual enlightenment and every kind
of material progress. And, especially,
is this true of the local newspaper. The
local press answers a need of the com
munity that can not be met by any
outside publication, be it magazine or
daily. Even the tele
phone with its lightning efficiency for
quick thought transmission, cannot sup
plant the demand for a local journal
In the first place the local newspaper
affords an efficient and happy medium
for social intercourse. 1t keeps you in
formed as to what Smith and Jones,
are doing all the while. 1t enlightens
you along the lines of sickness, acct
dents, funerals, weddings and social
gatherings of every description. In the
second place, the local newspaper serves
as useful means of commercial adver-
Using. The common class of indivi-
duals who cannot afford the luxury of
a daily newspaper are always subscri
bers to the home paper, and the keen
sighted business man recognizing its
value as an advertising medium is
usually the first to lend it his support.
Now at. the present time White Bird is
without a local newspaper. 1t needs
one but the history of White Bird jour
nalism shows that newspaper plant
.annot survive here.

TELLS OF TRIP TO WHITE BIRD.
Autonomous Writer Sings Praises of
Salmon River Country,

IT'S good to sing your own praise
and never to join the anvil chorus when
you are speaking of your home town,
community, or county. You can always
boast of Idaho county and boast will
always carry because an investigation
will bear out your statements.
No Idaho county booster ever sang
the praise of this section better than a
writer, Autonomous, expressing himself
in a recent issue of the Lewiston Tri-
bune. Judging from his writeup we
would place him as stranger but one
nevertheless who will soon be of us
he is already with us in sentiment. 1t
is so good that we reproduce his i'm
pressions and description in full as il
appeared. 1t is as follows:

One pleasing feature of trip to any
part of the prairie these days is the eff
fort being made in all sections to inn
prove the highways. The roads are
being rounded up to insure drainage
during the wet season and the road
drag is being used nearly everywhere.
There are converts to this better roads

road, Cottonwood hill has been cleared
of rock and is fixed in fine shape.

How \ Senator Conkling
Cultivated His Speak

Some of these wht we're in inti-

when he was a member of Congress
and Speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentatives. suspected from occasional
remarks which he made that II was a
source of grievous disappointment TO
him that his voice did not match his

Reed Is reported by some OF his
friends TO have tried early in life to
conquer a tendency TO speak with a

Mr. Reed was an admirer OF the
speaking voice of Roscoe Conkling
and was informed that Conkling had
for years taken pains TO perfect the
beautiful barytone quality which dis
tinguished his voice. AT the height
of his influence in the Senate, there
were two other Senators who we're
distinguished for possessing speaking
voices Of beautiful quality. One OF
these was Senator Matt II. Carpenter
of Wisconsin. The other was Sena-
tor John Morgan OF Aiapama. Both
OF these Senators possessed voices OF
a beautiful fute-like quality. Sena-
tor Morgan's voice was like the ripple
of a brook and although he spoke
sometimes for several hours, there
never was the slightest effect OF this
prolonged speaking upon his voice.
Senator Carpenter, also, possessed an
unusually beautiful quality Of voice,
and he had the ability 10 modulate
his voice so that Il fitted appropriate

express.

that especially charmed Speaker Reed
