labor averages 81 day, while skilled
labor. he says, can command almost
any price owing to the difficulty in Sc
curing men who are competent to fill
positions requiring a high order of
skilled workmanship in the various
trades. Mr.. Eastman considers the
country to be on a better business basis
than 1t has been for many years and is
highly optimistic over the outlook for
the future Of the western states. He
thinks another year will see a decided
business boom for the entire west, and
that land values will rise in spite of
all prophecies to the contrary.
HAS FAITH IN IDAHO.
To show his confidence in Idaho and
the Payette valley in particular Mr..
Eastman states he will make further
investments In lands in this section,
feeling quite sure that a man can
make no mistake in so doing. Mr..
Eastman was instrumental in develop
ing what is known as the Valley View
section, two miles east of New Ply
mouth, several years ago. Due to his
efforts a large number of Cleveland,
O., people, all of whom were people Of
means, were induced to settle in the
fdyeIte valley. AS result Oh Their
coming many nice homes were built,
the lands planted to orchards and al
falfa, and general development work
carried out along all lines. The East
mans will return in May.

many are being offered at that price.
Potatoes are SO a hundred and buyers
eagerly seeking them at this figure.

Canyon County Has Num-

Be Distributed.

Caldwell, Nov. 25.-Among the lead
ers of the Democratic party in Can

official patronage by Governor Alexan-

officers is the one subject of absorb
ing interest and speculation is rife as
to which of the coveted offices, if any.
will fall to the different Democrats in
this county, whose names are being
mentioned in connection with some of
the plums of the political patronage
tree.
In the list Of those who are credited
with at least being in receptive mood
are Walter Griffiths of this city, whose
name political gossip connects with a
membership on the state public utili-
ties commission, as AXel p. Radstedt' s
successor; w. p. O'Connor, of Nampa,
chairman of the Canyon county Demo-
cratic committee. whose friends con-
slider that because of his work in be-
half of his party in the recent cam
paign, he should receive this highly
remunerative position, and Attorney
Thomas Buckner, of this city. who is
also advocated by his friends for the
same position.
