country newspaper and has on the
contrary very great interest in the
metropolitan newspapers, in national
magazines and other mediums.
1t is the duty of those interested in
the public welfare to proclaim the val
ue of the country newspaper as an ad-
vertising medium regardless of per-
sonal interest.
It is,important to the nation that the
country editor should be absolutely in
dependent Of all corporations, of all
influences except that of the readers
whom he serves.
To Increase the prosperity, the in
come of the country editor, is to in
crease the efficiency of the greatest
educational and protective institution
in the United States.
The business man helps to build up
his country, and at the same time he
uses the best medium for building up
his business, when he gives large
share of his advertising appropriation
to the country newspaper.
Make Democratic Government Possible
There are nearly twenty thousand
country newspapers published in the
United States, each a center Of infor-
nation, of intellectual activity, each a
schoolhouse for the grown man and
woman, each an important member of
the national police force. 1t is no ex-
aggeration to say that democratic
government of the United States
would be impossible should this en-
Tightening force, the country news
papers, be suddenly eliminated.
For they are the local checks, the
local guardians and watchmen. Ev-
cry man in congress knows the power.

COUNTRY PAPERS
NATIONS POLICE
Editor Brisbane of Hearst Pa
pers Stresses Vital Func-
tiOns of Country Weekly

Editorial from the New York Eve.
ming Journal, written by Arthur Bris.
bane. Reprinted in the Gibson Cour-
Ter, Aug. II, 1867
The weekly country newspaper is
the national policeman.
In the night in great city like New
York you see policeman standing in
the middle of tie street con fixed
post" There he stands in all kinds OF
weather. He must not move, the peo-
pie must know where they can find
him.
What a fixed post policeman is to a
big city, the country newspaper is to
the nation.
1t is the national policeman on fixed
post, ready to hear the peoples COM
plant, ready to act and protest against
legislation or dangerous public opin-
ion.
The country newspaper is the ma
tional public forum; it is the concen-
trated expression Of local thought. The
country newspapers combined are the
people and the power of the country.
Self-satisfied metropolitan editors
and busy, ill-informed big business
men fail to appreciate the country edi-
tors Importance. The man who edits
a country newspaper and possesses
his readers confidence is the school
teacher Of grown-up men and women.
It is to him that the citizens mind
turns in time of doubt for information
and for advice based on local know
ledge.

Her Version--In certain provip-
cial art-gallery there is picture en-
titled Saved" representing large
Newfoundland dog standing over a
child whom it had rescued from the
river.
On market days MANY people from
the country find their way to the pic
ture-gallery, and nearly all admire
this. life-like painting.
The other day an old countrywoman
stood gazing at it for quite a long
time, and, as she turned to go, ex-
claimed:
mo wonder the child tainted, after
dragging that big dog out of the wa
ter!"-Tit-Bits.

The Store q Guilty

There are at least fifty millions OF
human beings in this country to whom
the voice of the country editor means
more than any other voice in the ma
ton.
Powerful as an Advertising Medium
AS the country editors power is
great in forming public opinion, pro-
tecting public interest, influencing
congressional action, so it is great as
business agent and powerful as an
advertising medium.
Over and over the Hearst newspa-
pers have emphasized the fact that the
country editor should be recognized
and utilized as the nations most eff
cient salesman.
He is monopolist in his field. If
he has five hundred or thousand cir
culation, that means five hundred or a
thousand families that advertisers can
reach only thru him.
The advertisement well told and
well displayed in the country newspa-
per actually reaches the most power
full buying public in the world. And
that public cannot be reached with
equal efficiency thru any other medi-
UNI.
Country Population Best Buyers
The subscriber to the country news
paper is the best customer of the in
telligent advertiser. He buys every
thing from books to harvesting ma
chimes. from encyclopedias to gas en-
gines, from paint for the roof to ce-
ment for the cellar floor, from fancy
front yard fencing to drain tile for the
fields.
Pick out typical American family
that reads the typical American coun-
try newspaper and there you have a
buying power that interests every in
telligent business man and advertiser
in the United States.
This fact the Hearst newspapers
have always emphasized, altho Mr..
Hearst has no interest whatever in any

Attorney Declares That Land Board
Plan Should Only be Considered Ii

81 have not thoroughly examined the

board for the solution of the Difficult

ney E. j. Flornibrook Monday, "jut

consider il seriously. they would want
to have some definite assurance that
the plan would be carried out. If
they received such assurance and the
amount of land were cut to the $4,000
acres mentioned over the above the
lands OF the state and schools, they
might at least consider the PROPOSE
ton, but l am not prepared to say
that they should adopt 1t even then.

SHEEP EXPERIMENT
BILL FOR IDAHO
Congressman Smith Introduces Bill
for Sheep Experiments In Fremont
County.

Representative Ad-
olson T. Smith recently introduced at
the request of the secretary of agricul-
ture, a bill appropriating $4,000 to
establish a sheep experiment station
in Fremont county, Idaho. This station
is intended to investigate problems
pertaining to the sheep and wool in
dustry on the farms and ranges of the
west. OF this appropriation $4,000 is
to be expended in purchasing suitable
irrigated land for raising hay and
grain for winter feeding
The station provided for in Mr..
Smiths bill is intended TO supplant a
station now maintained on rented land
in the state of Wyoming. That land
has been put on the market and mas
much as the station must be moved,
the secretary of agriculture believes
that it might better go to Idaho than
to some other point in Wyoming
If the Smith bill passes the station
will be established near the town OF
Dubois and north of Idaho Falls. The
Wool Growers association is strongly
backing this measure and hopes to aid
in bringing about its passage. The
bill has been referred to the secretary
of agriculture for official report.

BONDS CARRY BY AN
IMMENSE MAJORITY
Only Eleven Out of Two Hundred
and Sixty-fiye Against
PEOPLE COME THROUGH SNOW
STORM TO CAST THEIR VOTES.
Votes Are Counted at Special Session
and Results Wired to Bond Attor-
neys-City Acting Promptly.

That the people OF Twin Falls are
overwhelmingly in favor of taking
over the present waterworks system at
cost of $4,000. was evidenced
Thursday by the overwhelming ma
jority given the waterworks bonds. as
only IL out of 265 votes counted, were
against them. One ballot was deiec-
lively marked and thrown out The
people came out through the binding
storm to express their. preferences. In
the first ward 1876 votes were cast, OF
which only two were against the
bonds. In the second ward there were
127 votes of which all but nine were
for the bonds. The council met at
once In special Session and counted
the ballots after which City Attorney
Herriott telegraphed to the bond at
torneys in Denver giving the results
mo telegraphic instructions had been
received in return by the time that
the council met in regular session
last night, so it is assumed that all is
well and that the papers for further
action will come to this city in a few
days The city is acting as expedi-
tiously as possible in order to ge
things moving, as nothing definite car
be done until the transfer is formall,
made, although it is practically only {
matter of form.

j. w. Laubenheim Comes to Reside in
City and Take Charge OF District Of
Five Counties.

ters in this city at the old King head

here at present, but will have a car
load of machines which are now on

TABERNACLE WAS
DEDICATED SUNDAY
Immense Crowd Gathers to

EXCURSION OF 100 COMES FROM
KIMBERLY AND HANSEN.
Singing Proves Magnificent Mayor
Calls Attention to Safety OF Struc-
ture Ia Case OF Fire.

In spite of bad weather and oceans
OF slush. 1900 people collected in the
immense Oliver tabernacle for the de-
dicatory service Sunday afternoon, 100
arriving from Hansen and Kimberly
for the purpose. The choir singing
led by George II. Redden, was magni-
ficent and assured the people of the
success of that part OF the revival.
The Kimberly and Hansen contingent
came into the tabernacle singing, to
the edification OF those present
The program opened with a scrip
ture reading by Rev. c. l.. Bent fol-
lowed by a prayer by Rev. S. S. Neher.
A solo, Christ Is My ALL" was then
given by George Redden The formal
address of welcome was delivered by
Mayor +. NJ. Sweeley who spoke warm
words of greeting, and incidently be-
slowed praise on the tabernacle, call
ing attention to the fact that it had
stood successfully the extraordinary
strain of the great snow and that the
means of egress were so perfect that
the hall could be emptied in 80 sec
onds in case of fire
George II. Redden then spoke of the
evangelist, whom he described as the
greatest pulpit orator living He gave
the following facts relative to the
chorus leader who will have charge OF
the music during the meetings
lCharles Butler, the soloist and chorus
leader, is undoubtedly the. greatest
gospel song leader and singer of to-
day. He was the principal soloist in
Torrey and Alexander's world tour
some years ago. Later he was asso-
ciated with Billy Sunday for two
years. He will conduct a thirty min
utes song service every evening and
the musical talent of Twin Falls coun-
ty will enjoy singing under this re-
nowned musical leader Mrs. Butler
will accompany Mr. Butler and they
sing duets together. Their rendering
of the duet God VIII Take Care of
YOU" is known the world over The
congregational singing at these meet
ings will be big feature for when
Charles Butler leads an audience they
sing-they cannot help it-and this
alone will draw crowds to the taber-
nacle for miles around.
He also mentioned with praise, Miss
Annie MacLaren, the Scotch soprano,
and Mrs j. S. Norvell leader of the
women's meetings during the cam
paign.
Addresses by Rev. Stewart of Kim
berly, and by the local pastors, and

MERCHANTS TO PLAN
THE PAYUP WEEK
Meeting OF Association Tonight to Take
Steps Toward Organization for the
Affair.

The Merchants association meets to-
night for the purpose of making final
preparations for Pap-up Week from
February q to 26 and plans to organ
ize systematically for the work. Speak
ing of this matter a gentleman con-
nected with the work said:
This movement is not the plan or
scheme of any particular set of men,
but was started for the purpose of
encouraging everybody to make an ef-
fort to clean up their debts in order
that every man could help everybody
else and the people of the nation gen
orally might be put nearer on cash
basis and millions of Indebtedness
paid in this way.
"The plan is for the business man to
pay the farmer and laborer if he owes
them anything; for the farmer and la
borer to pay the business man if they
owe him anything; each to pay the
doctor, the preacher, or anyone else,
and thus pass the dollars around un-
til a single piece of coin may during
the week liquidate ten OF twenty times
its value in debts.
mo one can say an occasional bal
ancing of accounts is not good thing
The average person fails to realize
how even a small debt will become a
burden to the man carrying it at times
and few there are who realize how
many bills they may owe, or the total
amount OF such Indebtedness. Very
often it happens that man will think
he owes ten or fifteen dollars and
when he comes to pay he finds he
really owes twice that amount. This
causes retrenchment until he is paio
up, and the oftener a man gets his
bearings and curtails his expenditures
where necessary the better he is off il
the end.
"In addition to getting people in thu
habit of being more thrifty this ma
tional season of liquidation Will mos
certainly put money in the markets o
trade which is probably lying in tn
banks at the present time doing no
body any particular good. Bet's al
try the plan and beginning with tn
21st of February put in one week ap
lplying our surplus to paying the othe
fellow 1t will be a great benefit t
everybody, and those Of us who ow
LESS and have helped our neighbor
will feel better"

BULL AT OUTS
WITH COMMISSION
Public Utilities Commission Gives
Orders Which City win Fight 10
Supreme Court.

The city of Bull is tangled up wits
the public utility commission over the
right of that state body to dictate In
regard to the price to be charged by
municipal plants which do not como IN
contact with any competitive concern
in the same business, the question at
issue being raised by the attempt on
the part of the commission to force
the city TO report in a certain way re-
lative to its waterworks system. The
commission sent notice to the west
end city to file a report In conformity
with the rules governing private cor
porations. The city failed to comply
and was warned by the commission.
As result City Attorney W. R Grees
and Councilman Thomas Clinton went
to Boise yesterday with view of con-
sulting counsel for the purpose OF
fighting the law and carrying it 10
the supreme court If necessary. The
Buhl people contend that their atti-
tude is In the line of local self govern
ment and that they understand condi-
tions In their community better than
the commission does. Should the com
mission be sustained they assert that
it can not only put the city to consid-
erable expense, but can dictate in re-
gard to all matters pertaining TO the
governing of the local water system.
At present Bull has the same man
In charge of the water system and the
streets and he works a crew of mea,
first on one and then on the other. Te
segregate these works it is asserted
would cause a big increase ip ea-
penses of the city.
