Mr.. Severn Likes Idaho Best.

Mr.. Severn of Boise visited with a
number of his friends here Sunday
Mr.. Severn is one one who likes the
climate of Idaho so we'll that he pre-
fers to live here rather than in the
east. He has reached the age when
he does not care to enter UPON any I'M
dertaking for himself but he says II
he were a young man he thinks he
could succeed on ranch here. He
has some sons who are successful
business men in New York, who urge
him to make his home with them. but
he prefers Idaho. He went east about
three years ago thinking to remain,
but after a year or so returned to
Idaho. One of his sons has just gone
to South America to superintend the
introduction of machinery from the
United States into Argentina. Mr..
Severn was accompanied to Caldwell

CROSS RAILWAY INTERSECT-
ING SOUTHERN PACIFIC AT

NEEDED.
Former Mayor Finds Republican
Party United on the Coast-Hughes
is Great Favorite-Root and Burton
Have Friends-Taft and Roosevelt
Are in the Discard.

Former Mayor c. H. Turner, one
of the leading horse and mule dealers
of the northwest, has just returned
from a four weeks trip through Cal
ifornia. He visited San Francisco,
Oakland, Santa Rosa, and Los Banos,
where he purchased horses for the
Allies, turning them over to their
agent at Ogden. Utah.
Mr.. Turner states that he was in
sight of snow every day he was in
California. On the summit between
Sacramento and Reno there are 20
feet Of snow. The Sacramento Valley
was practically lake of water. The
winter wheat has been badly damaged.
Outlook Hopeful.
Business men seem hopeful of a
revival in business" continued Mr..
Turner. "The indications are that
they have had their portion of bust
ness depression. A revival in all in
dustries may be looked forward to this
coming year. In fact it has already
started.
California has many fine features
but for man of modest means I
think the chances are two to one in
his favor in Idaho. Here the soil is in
its youth and vigor, the climate is
just as good, and opportunity awaits
every one who has the energy and in
dustry to try.
THE interests of both states could
be greatly facilitated by a cross rail-
road from the Boise Valley intersect-
ing the Southern Pacific at a point
south. The present roundabout line
of transportation almost prohibits
commerce between the two sections.
The present freight rates to Missouri
River points are one-third less than
to San Francisco. and the distance by
-cross railroad would be one-third less
Untarnished Material Wanted.
IL found the people talking politics
to more or less extent. 1t was all
Republican politics. The candidate of
the Republican party is the question Of
supreme interest. The general i'm
preston, as | received it, was that the
Republicans should this year unite
on some untarnished new material for
the ticket. A man who has not been
too closely mixed up in the fight of
1912 is needed. Neither Taft nor
Roosevelt should be considered A
man like Justice Hughes would be the
ideal leader. Senator Root has a
great many friends and admirers.
Senator Burton is favorite in some
quarters. Any new man of strength
will fill the bill.
"The Republicans of the west are
ready to unite in order to restore
prosperity, dignity and security"
Mr. Turner was accompanied home
by his son. Lee Turner. who has been
in California for several months. He
states that he had a pleasant trip and
secured great many horses for the
Allies.

Trying Out Montessori System.

Miss Cordelia Farrer is introducing
the Montessori system Of teaching,
limited by circumstances. and par
tial supply of necessary apparatus. 1t
is an experimental attempt to raise
the proficiency of backward pupils OF
the first grade through the sense of
touch in addition to that of sight and
hearing. The Montessori method is
being introduced into many OF the pub
lie schools throughout this country. 1t
tends to develop originality of thought
and action. A guiding of head and
heart as we'll as of hands and feet Is
aimed at, and a freedom from restraint
which many think strikes at the eff
fciency of our present public school
system
